Housing battle begins tonight
Students, residents to voice opinions on proposed plan
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan抄 writer
The gloves are on, the contestants are ready and tonight they will step into the ring to spar about the proposed housing ordinance that would limit the number of unrelated people who can live in single-family neighborhoods.
After months of preparation, tonight's public hearing receives top billing as one of the most controversial issues facing Lawrence in years.
Showtime is at 6:30 p.m. at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.
Student Senate will have representatives speaking from 7:30 to 8 p.m., and buses will be provided for any students who wish to
attend, said Holly Krebs, student rights committee chairwoman.
"This is probably the most important meeting for students to attend of their entire four years of college," Krebs said. "It's the one time that we can have an impact on a city proposal that would really affect our lives."
People on both sides of the issue have signed up to speak through 9:30 p.m.,after which anyone can make a comment, said Sheila Stogsdill, Lawrence assistant planning director.
hing there.
"Hopefully it will help keeping things moving along without it becoming too chaotic," Stogsdill said. "It's a fairly complex issue, so there are multiple perspectives."
Marlon Marshall, student body vice president, will speak for Student Senate tonight. He encouraged everyone to attend the meeting and said that the proposed ordinance would discriminate against students and other young people.
"I think that it's very unfair to students, and in the long run it will hurt KU students and give them limited housing
options," he said. "There are different measures that they could do to solve the problems instead of this ordinance."
The Planning Commission will hear all public comment, discuss the issue and then make a recommendation to the City Commission. If the meeting runs late, the discussion could be tabled until the next Planning Commission meeting Wednesday, Nov. 15, Stogsill said.
She said any future meetings to discuss the issue would not take place during winter break when students were out of town.
"I think there is a sensitivity to not wanting to hurry things along if the timing is not going to allow us to have everyone there," she said.

Green card application may cost visa

"It is the office's job to alert students about that," said Lynne Vanahill, associate director.
The new nonimmigrant visa application asks if the individual has entered the green card lottery. United States law requires international students to prove their intent to return to their home countries after graduating.
The government may view entry into the green card lottery as intent to stay in the United States after graduation. By law, the government must deny a new visa to these individuals.
Vanafill said it was unclear whether the U.S. government kept records of people who applied for the green card lottery.
A visa allows a student to come to the United States to study, while a green card grants a student permission to work.

Handful of men study women in KU classes

history Michael McShane—followed them. The class was Gender and Equality, and McShane was aware of his minority status.
Most of the students spent the morning discussing masculinity, but McShane said he sat in class with his mouth shut.
Yesterday morning, nearly 20 women filed out of room 209 in Blake Hall. One man — Timothy Michael McShane — followed them
"I'm kind of a quiet listener," said McShane, Brookfield, Wis., senior. "It's kind of intimidating."
Such behavior is typical for men enrolled in women's studies classes.
"When you are in the minority, sometimes you tend to be quiet," said Marta Vicente, an assistant professor of history who has taught women's studies classes.
Vicente said her women's studies classes were usually 10 percent male students.
At times, McShares's attempt to broaden his mind has been uncomfortable.
Certain topics can be troublesome as well.
"I feel like every time I say something, all eyes are on me," he said.
Certain topics can be troublesome as well. "Sometimes when genitalia is brought up it can be a little uncomfortable and disturbing, but you know, I'm 23. I can get over that," he said.
Most men in women's studies classes are trying to fulfill requirements, but Ben Musser, Lawrence senior, is one of only a couple males majoring in women's studies at the University of Kansas.
"Basically, I just found women more fascinating then men," he said, adding that the first few classes he took "dragged" him into the field.
Musser said that the women in his classes had been accepting and that discussions about women's issues had been fun.
He said his major had changed his perceptions and had made him more sensitive to portrayals of women in society and the media.
"Most men who are in the classes are open enough to different opinions that it doesn't really matter," he said.
MeShane, a film major, hoped the same would happen for him.
He said his dream was to someday make a movie that embodies gender-role reversals
Vicente said men who chose to take women's studies courses could be more understanding than those who face women's issues in other classes.
"Many students, and particularly males, think, 'I'm taking a regular history class, don't talk to me about women,'" she said.
Musser added that men did not understand the atmosphere of women's studies classes.
"Guys are afraid they're a bunch of manhating lesbians," he said. "That's a very unfair evaluation."
Musser said more men should enroll in women's studies classes. He said that their macho friends tease but that girls would appreciate the gesture.
"He's a women's studies major." Musser said his girlfriend tells her friends. "He understands me."

Recording irks callers of short-staffed KU Info
By Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Many students know they can call KU Info for an answer to just about anything. But this semester, students are getting a live representative less often than recent years when they call the hot line.
Susan Elkins, KU Info program director, said KU Info was short on student representatives this semester. The line has about 14 employees but could use at least four more, she said.
Dini Richards, Salina junior and KU Info representative, searches far information about the most popular Halloween costume. Richards said that sometimes shifts weren't filled because KU Info has had problems with being short staffed this semester. Photo by Nick Krug/KANSAN
KU Info answers about 130,000 calls per year. Elkins said, but students called and got the recording more than 33,000 times this September alone. This number includes students who call back repeatedly, she said.
When all representatives are busy, calls are directed to the Jaytalk Line, a recording that lists building hours and events on campus each day. The Jaytalk Line answers students' most common questions.
"There's a lot of information on our Jaytalk Line that answers questions, but people don't listen," Elkins said. "They just hang up."
The recording was added in 1992, about the same time the service stopped operating 24 hours a day. The KU Info Web site, www.ukans.edu/~kuinfo, has links that answer some of the more routine questions.
KU Info operates three lines out of a small office in the Kansas Union. Elkins said the number of lines wasn't the reason students weren't getting through; KU Info simply needs more help.
Elkins said that in January she would like to hire three undergraduate students as representatives and one graduate student to manage the office.
"We have only one person on the phone several times during the day." Elkins said. "We need people who are really lively. This is a really fun place to work."
In addition, representatives answer questions from high school students in evening Web chats on the KU admissions home page.
Representatives use a variety of reference guides and the Internet to answer questions. Many students call with questions about enrollment or faculty office hours at this time in the semester. KU Info does not give out phone numbers for individuals; students should use the phone book for that. Elkins said.
"There's a lot of information on our Jaytalk Line that answers questions,but people don't listen. They just hang up."
Susan Elkins KU Info program director
As a KU Info representative, Brad Weiner, Denver junior, has heard some tough questions and some no-brainers in his time.
"It's fun because you get to see what the entire city's up to at a given time," Weiner said.
KU Info representatives don't claim to be able to answer every question — they do get stumped.
"We're not footproof," Weiner said. "People who sit at home with a 12-pack on Friday night and decide they want to stunn KU Info can probably do it."
KU Info lines are open between 7 a.m. and 2 a.m. every day.

KU professor's book offers small-town view
A new book from a University of Kansas professor documents the changing life of turn-of-the-century Kansas.
James R. Shortridge, professor of geography, wrote Our Town on the Plains, which includes photos by J.J. Pennell of Junction City from 1893 to 1922 and text by Shortridge.
Pennell's photographs, part of the KU Libraries' Kansas Collection, document the lives of ordinary people in Junction City. Shortridge said it was an opportunity to get an intimate view of small-town life in the past.
"You see a transformation from one way of life, with horses and buggies, to this modern world of movement and increased speed that we live in today." Shortridge said.

Comedian Steve Allen dies of heart attack
LOS ANGELES — Steve Allen, the bespectacled, droll comedian who pioneered late-night television with the original Tonight Show and wrote more than 4,000 songs and 40 books, has died at age 78.
He died Monday night of an apparent heart attack at the Encino, Calif., home of his son, Bill Allen, relatives said yesterday.
In addition to starting the *Tonight Show*, Allen starred as the King of Swing in the 1956 movie *The Benny Goodman Story*. He appeared in Broadway shows, on soap operas, wrote newspaper columns, commented on wrestling broadcasts, made 40 record albums, and wrote plays and a television series that featured "guest appearances" by Sigmund Freud, Clarence Darrow and Aristotle.
During the years, Allen maintained a busy career, making appearances in movies and TV series, often with his wife, Jayne Meadows, sister of the late Honeymooners star Audrey Meadows.
Arthritis treatment shows early promise
PHILADELPHIA — An experimental new rheumatoid arthritis treatment that focuses on renegade white blood cells shows promise in early testing, researchers reported.
Preliminary tests using a biotechnology drug aimed at the immune system showed signs of major benefits for the first five subjects 1.8 months after their treatment, according to Jonathan Edwards of University College in London. A second group of five people appeared to have been healed six months after treatment, he said. Edwards will give a presentation on the treatment at a meeting of the American College of Rheumatology in Philadelphia today.

Singapore Airlines crash kills at least 70 people
TAIPEI, Taiwan — A Singapore Airlines jumbo jet speeding down a runway in darkness and rain slammed into an object before takeoff for Los Angeles and burst into flames yesterday, scattering fiery wreckage across the tarmac, witnesses said. At least 70 people were killed and dozens more were injured, a Taiwanese official said.

There were 20 crew members and 159 passengers on board. Airline representative Rick Clements said 47 U.S. citizens and 55 Taiwanese were among the passengers.
It wasn't immediately clear what the plane hit, but the collision wreaked havoc on the plane: Video footage showed the Boeing 747-400 spewing flames and thick black smoke despite the heavy rain. Afterward, parts of the fuselage were
Taiwanese civil aviation official Billy K.C. Chang declined to comment on the cause of the crash until investigators retrieved the plane's flight data and voice-cockpit recorders.
It was Singapore Airlines' first major accident in 28 years of operation, and it came in nasty weather: A typhoon packing 90 mph winds was whirling off Taiwan's southern coast, lashing the island with rain and prompting officials to set up disaster-relief centers.
Chang said 70 people died, 58 were hospitalized, seven were unaccounted for and 44 suffered minor or no injuries.
JERUSALEM — Israeli helicopter gunships fired rockets at command centers of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat's movement in the West Bank and Gaza Strip last night, in retaliation for the killing of two Israelis by Palestinian militants.

Senate wants fair transfer system
By Kursten Phelps
Kansan staff writer
Claudia Meng didn't lose many hours when she transferred to the University of Kansas from a community college, but she nearly had to start again in her major.
Meng, Garden City senior, transferred two years ago from Garden City Community College. She said all of her credit hours transferred but most as electives, and she was forced to take several similar psychology classes again at the University.
"Of course at the university level, you don't have the individual attention, but the content was pretty much the same," Meng said. "It was definitely comparable. I think they should have transferred."
Student Body President Ben Walker and student leaders from other Regents universities want to make transferring easier. As members of the Student Advisory Committee of the Board of Regents, they are researching possible solutions that will make transferring between Kansas colleges and universities easier.
"It's a continuing problem, and there's no way to completely solve it, but it's one step in the right
direction." he said.
Walker said one possible solution was to create a common numbering system for classes at Regents universities and community colleges. For example, the introductory English class at every school would be called English 101, making it easier to transfer credits.
Walker said he was not sure about the system, citing possible limitations of academic freedom as a problem. If classes were commonly numbered, he said it could lead to class standards being set at the Rezents level.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost for academic services, said logistics, not academic freedom, were the main problem with a common numbering system.
"Our numbering system is tied into our student record systems, the line numbers, the ARTS system, so many different things, that the sheer computer programming involved would be complicated," McCluskey-Fawcett said.
The solution Walker said he preferred was a Web site where students could see how their classes would transfer at any Regents school or community college.
10 me, if a class is fairly equivalent, that's up to the University to decide if it will accept that class,
TRANSFER CREDIT
the Student Advisory Committee, made up of the student body presidents of Regents universities, is developing ideas to make it simpler to transfer credit from one Kansas school to another.
Possible solutions include a Web site that would list how classes transfer from one Kansas school to another and a common class numbering system at Kansas community colleges and Regents universities.
and it's their right to do that." Walker said.
Planning ahead and good communication with advisers helps to ease a lot of transfer problems, said Cathy Tillman, Hutchinson junior, who transferred from Hutchinson Community College. The 62 credit hours she took at the community college transferred without much difficulty.
"The advisers there were really involved in all that because there were a lot of people who were going to transfer to KU or K-State," Tillman said. "They helped us make sure we were not taking any classes we didn't need to take."

KU Young Democrats
Gore, Moore support schools, environment
Voting is probably one of the most critical responsibilities citizens are entrusted with in this country. Although it isn't an obvious or exciting task.
KU Greens
sibilities citizens are entrusted with in this country. Although it isn't always an exciting task, students should take their votes seriously. History books remind us that in 1960, John F. Kennedy was elected president by a margin of just one vote per precinct. Translation: One voter from Daisy Hill or off campus making it to the polls Tuesday could potentially change your representation in Washington.
Many of us agree that the most important factor in voting is being informed. Even if you don't know every detail of Vice President Al Gore's proposals or each of the 145 Texans put to death under Texas Gov. George W. Bush, what do you really know about our third-party candidates? Supporting these groups to make a bold statement about your dissatisfaction with the two parties isn't the best solution if you're making an uneducated choice. At least vote for the next best option, not the candidate you know the least bad things about. My responsibility today is to inform you—about why you should vote and why you should vote democratically.
The best reasons to vote for Gore and Rep. Dennis Moore are simply the ones closest to home: your own student interests.
Gore, an advocate of education, children's rights at the environment, has worked during the last several decades to improve students' lives. Worth noting are his efforts in higher education that provided more Pell Grant funding as well as greater opportunities for aid through programs including the HOPE scholarships and the Lifetime Learning Tax Credit. Students are merely an after-thought to Bush, who has done nothing to assist universities. While we don't all recall financial conditions during previous Republican terms, most of our families prospered during the last eight years — a credit to the Gore record. In endorsing Bush, Republicans overlook a nasty set of stats that do not bode well for the governor. Bush blatantly ignores criticism of Texas, which ranks 49th of the 50 states in providing health care for children and neglects the worsening environmental conditions by instituting weak restrictions on oil companies.
Locally, Dennis Moore's opponent, Phill Kline, has provided little more than a series of misleading negative ads. Moore, on the other hand, offers a record in Congress that solidifies his position as a proponent of educational improvements, economic responsibility and women's rights. Moore shows his commitment to Lawrence by spending virtually every weekend in the area, listening to constituent concerns. Touted as reasonable and independent, Moore has voted his conscience during the last two years. Even supporters of Kline cannot defend the Republican's extreme conservatism, including his suggestions to revoke a woman's right to choose and his willingness to cut $16 million from state universities, including KU.
Ralph Nader fans, a.k.a. the KU Greens, will rely on many of the same arguments. Unfortunately, this group hasn't provided the public with any real specifics on what exactly Nader plans to do as president
Even one vote can make a difference in an election like this one, and I hope your vote for Vice President Gore does.
Green Party would pry nation from grasp of big corporations
Ralph Nader has a 40-year history of successfully fighting for people against the forces of monied interests. He has worked with half of Washington and sued the other half. He is responsible for auto safety, airline safety, the Clean Air and Clean Water Acts and the Freedom of Information Act. He has experience and is well respected.
Publicly, not corporately, financed campaigns are essential to a democracy. Nader takes no money from corporations and limits personal donations to $2000. Free air time on TV and in the debates for all candidates, same-day voter registration nation-wide, proportional representation and disbanding the Electoral College are essential. All peoples' voices must be heard. The Green Party believes:
The death penalty is a system that simply does not work. It actually costs more than life in prison and does not discourage people.
The military budget should be cut by a third, resulting in better spending. It would also wage peace, not threaten other nations.
Education needs funding, not more testing.

- The drug war is a disaster. It is time to treat drug addicts like human beings.

mind-altering, and there are numerous useful products made from it.
Nader wants to:

Agreement and restructure the World Trade Organization to protect people.
- provide universal health care and a living wage.
- take care of homeless veterans. In so doing, he will raise the Armed Forces morale.

■ give parents a wedge that allows them to spend time
Nader also would take care of the 20 percent of Americans who do not earn enough to pay taxes.
Americans who do not earn enough to pay taxes.
The question arises, how do we fund all this?
The answer is astoundingly easy. Cut off corporate welfare to the rich companies. Hundreds of billions of dollars of your money are being given away. Make them pay taxes.
If you are afraid of voting for Nader, because of Bush, remember these things. 1) Vote your conscience, not your fear. 2) People can work to stop anything that Bush may do. 3) There are more people who would like to vote Nader than you know. 4) An informed public is a powerful public. 5) In Kansas, Gore will not win.

Coverage spurs divergent reactions
Both those who think the football players are guilty and those who think they're innocent have problems with the way the Kansan covered the story. Ask those who want Terry Allen ousted for his "punishment" of the players. They'll tell you we were wrong in not naming the alleged attackers. Ask those who stand behind the players, and they'll tell you we blew the story out of proportion by making them look guilty
No matter which side you believe about the alleged sexual assault of a soccer player, by two football players, everyone seems to have an opinion.
10
and that we allowed students to rip Allen's reputation on the editorial page.
As I've mentioned before, the reason we didn't name the alleged attackers is because they were just that — alleged
attackers. No charges were filed against them, and the Kansan doesn't identify people who haven't been arrested or charged with a crime. If there isn't enough evidence to charge people, it would be unfair of the Kansan to indicate they had committed a crime — not to mention potentially libelous.
As for blowing the story out of proportion, I don't think sexual violence against anyone on campus is a small issue to be relegated to a three-inch brief on page 2A.
But did we give the story more attention because both the victim and alleged attackers were student-athletes? It certainly was a detail we didn't leave out. I doubt we would have given the students' majors if they hadn't been athletes.
For many reasons, though, I think their student-athlete status is incredibly relevant to the story. First, a large part of the story was how the Athletics Department handled the punishment of the players.
Secondly, whether we like it or not, athletes have an elevated status in most areas of life, especially on the college campus. That status is elevated even more if they are members of a high-profile sport such as football. Whether they ask for it or not,
football players are given higher levels of expectation to go along with the perks.
I'm not saying that the media have an obligation to place football players under increased scrutiny, but by doing so we reflect the attitudes many people have about athletes: They should supersede the expectations placed on the rest of us.
Dragging down the reputation of the football team as a whole is one of many unfortunate consequences of the attack.
But shouldn't abstaining from sexually violent behavior be an expectation we have of all students?
Those who disagreed with our coverage probably won't have to read about it much more, because the players won't be prosecuted. It's a dead issue for us. For the students involved, the story won't likely be forgotten.
Not everyone may agree with the way the Kansan handles situations like this. However, you can count on us thoroughly covering an issue every student has a stake in — his or her own safety.
Although we make strong attempts to present information in an unbiased form. we can't make everyone happy.

Engineering senators want late-night study center
By Brooke Hesler Special to the Kansan
THE AIRCRAFT
AEROSPACE
If student senators from the School of Engineering get their way, a proposed late-night student center could become a reality within two to three years.
Sam Ho, St. Louis senior, studies at the Coke Student Lounge while like Uludg, Nicosia, Cyprus, junior, naps on the floor. Engineering senators say the lounge can become too crowded during times such as finals. They would like to see space freed up in Burt Hall for a late-night student center. Photo by Nick Krug/KANSAN
Burt Hall is the proposed site for the center, which would accommodate engineering students working on group projects late at night. Justin Marz, Jefferson City, Mo., senior and engineering senator, said the center was long overdue.
"Right now, the only real place we have for group meetings is the library." Marz said. "The library closes at midnight, but a lot of times, students need it later. I know around finals, I might be at Learned until two. After hours, there's the Coke Lounge, but it's cramped, and it gets loud in there."
Right now, Environmental Health Services, faculty offices and graduate student space occupy the proposed site for the center. After an addition to Learned Hall is complete,
probably around 2003, the senators would like to see the free space used for the center.
However, it's not that easy, said Carl E. Locke Jr., dean of engineering.
Locke said that although the center was a good idea, he has received other proposals for the use of the space. He said the department was looking at a proposal for more research labs, which also would serve students.
"Right now, space all over the University is at a premium," Locke said. "There's a lot of competition for that space."
Locke said the students still would benefit from the space if it contained a lab.
While Marz said he understood Locke's position, he still thought the proposed center would benefit students more and help the School of Engineering recruit incoming freshman.
"In a place where students are the heart and soul of the operation, it seems you should consider them first and consider them your utmost priority," Marz said.
Kelli Deuth, Salina senior and engineering senator, said it was a bit discouraging to know that if the center did become a reality, she wouldn't be around to see it.
"It's kind of hard," Deuth said. "But my younger sister is coming here next year. She'll be an engineering major, and she'd be using it, so I'd have a direct link."
Locke said the final decision probably would be made after the expansion of Learned was complete. He said he probably
would sit down with assistant deans, department chairs and Chancellor Robert Hemenway and decide how to best use the space.
"It's not an easy decision," Locke said. "But it's something we're going to give a lot of thought to."

Following a tumultuous offseason when coach Roy Williams nearly departed and top recruit DeShawn Stevenson bolted for the NBA, the Jayhawks will get a taste of game action tonight when they take on the California All-Stars at Allen Fieldhouse.
The core of last year's team returns tonight, and they're champing at the hit to start the season.
Of course, there are plenty of reasons to be intrigued by tonight's exhibition. It will mark senior forward Luke Axell't return to play since February, and six players — five of them walk-ons — will suit up for Kansas for the first time.
"We're anxious to get started — maybe the players more so than I am," Williams said. "We're tired of beating on each other in practice."
When, it's not really a game tonight when Kansas takes on the California All-Stars at 7 at Allen Fieldhouse. In fact, the exhibition game that Jayhawk fans will witness should resemble more of a practice than a midseason contest.
"Anybody who has been here a long
time knows I just call these glorified practices because that's what they are." Williams said.
Also, sophomore guard Kirk Hinrich and junior guard Jeff Boschcee will be tested by All-Star guard Ed Cota, who many experts thought was the nation's top point guard for North Carolina last season.
"Ed Cota is very creative and very good with the ball," Williams said "He's hard to guard, so it will help Jef and Kirk both."
Despite the fact that Hinrich never has played against Cota. Hinrich agreed with Williams' assessment.
"I always thought of him as a great player, and it will be tough to contain him," Hinrich said.
Williams said he would choose between Hinrich, Boschee, Axtell, sophomore forward Drew Gooden, sophomore forward Nick Collison, senior center Eric Chenowith, and senior forward Kenny Gregory to
But whether Hinrich will have that chance when the game starts tonight remains to be seen. Williams said the starting lineup for tonight's game wouldn't be announced until minutes before tip-off.
"We have seven guys who will play a tremendous amount, and five of those will start," Williams said. "It's not important. Playing in the starting lineup is very overrated."

decide his starting lineup.
But it doesn't matter to Hinrich.
"All that matters is if you're out there when the game ends," Hinrich said.
Kansas game notes
No cameos: In the past, former Kansas players suited up for the All-Stars. But this year, no former Jayhawks are expected to play on the team, even though guard Rex Walters was at the fieldhouse yesterday.
Teams promote unity: In an effort to promote unity in college basketball, both teams will stand before the game and be read a prepared statement by the National Association of College Basketball Coaches. The statement will urge the fans and the players to take a stand against discrimination and injustice.
After the reading of the statement both teams will be on the court for the singing of the national anthem for the first time in 30 years.
- Ticket change: The tickets for tonight's game have the wrong time on them. The game will tip off tonight at 7, not the 8 p.m. time printed on the tickets.

Kansas quickly,easily disposes of Iowa State
By Sarah Warren
Kansan sportswriter
They may wear red, but Iowa State is no Nebraska.
The Cyclones' volleyball team, 2-21 and 0-14 in the Big 12 Conference, nowhere near resembles the No. 1 Cornhuskers, 21-0, who downed Kansas in three games Saturday night.
Instead, the Cyclones resembled more of a red whirlwind of errors as they collided into one another, smacked balls into the costume-clad Halloween audience and missed enough balls to record a .034 hitting
percentage.
"When you're not passing the ball you really look disorganized," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "They were running all over the place, running into each other."
The Jayhawks cleaned up at
"We thought if we could beat their strength, it would be demoralizing," Bechard said. "And their strength was blocking."
Kansas stuffed away five blocks of its own.
the bumbling Cyclones' expense, sending them home winless once again, with a 15-2,
15-4, 15-6 walloping. Kansas improves to 13-10 and 4-10 in the Big 12.
"We were prepared," said senior outside hitter Nancy Bell. "We took care of the part of their game that they usually excel in."
The 'Hawks didn't just dominate in blocking. Kansas dominated Iowa State in every category — blocking, killing, digging, setting and serving.
The Cyclones' strength happens to be blocking. However, the Jayhawks kept the Cyclones to only two blocks.

Kansas brought down 45 kills for a .347 hitting percentage, while the Cyclones only killed 19 balls in 89 attempts. Bell led the 'Hawks with 12 kills, and junior setter Molly LaMere had 34 assists.
"Their passes weren't to target and ours were," Bell said. "And when you're not passing well, you're not giving your setter good looks, and you're not going to give your hitters good looks."
Kansas also stunted Cyclone suc-
also stunted Cyclone success with seven service aces. Iowa State could pull out merely two aces. In addition to the all-out offensive dominance, Kansas led on the defensive side, pulling out 48 digs to 35.
"They're a team that's really trying to find themselves."
"They're young," Bechard said.
The Cyclones field one senior, one junior, four sophomores and seven freshmen on their roster. Of the seven freshmen, six played last night. And, instead, of finding themselves last night, the fledgling twisters found themselves exiting the Horesei Family Athletics Center after an hour and 10 minutes.
"This was a good game to prepare us for our game Saturday," Bell said.
Kansas faces Baylor at 2 p.m. Saturday at Horejsi. The Bears downed the Jayhawks in five games in Waco, Texas, on Sept. 27.

Local fame honor await basketball's new walk-ons
Odys are, you don't know Chris Zerbe. But you will
Zerbe is a walk-on basketball player from Andover.
Chris is all right with me because he is a fellow Chisholm Trail Leaguer. The CTL consists of schools outside of Wichita: Rose Hill, Goddard; Wellington; Augusta; Zerbe's school, Andover; and my school, Mulvane. We Chisholm Trail guys gotta stick together.
I don't know how much influence Zerbe will have on the 'Hawks this season. He probably won't see much floor time. But regardless of his numbers, his life is about to change. He's about to be recognized as a member of the most elite group on campus — the men's basketball team.
I ran into Zerbe downtown the other night. "So, does anyone know who you are yet?" I asked.
asked.
"Nope."
"They will."
Basketball season is upon us. Soon, you'll see those calendars with all the basketball players' faces on them. You'll start watching them on TV. And then you will start to recognize Zerbe's pretty-boy mug. And then people will know. Then things will change for Zerbe.
When he goes to Mr. Goodcents for his nickel sandwich, he'll have to pause before leaving when the guy behind the counter asks him to autograph the basketball poster. At H-Yee, the checkout lady will ask him, "Aren't you a basketball player?" Subsequently, the same woman will tell her husband later that evening, "I saw that Chris Zerbe guy at the store today," as though it were newsworthy.
People will look a little longer when Zerbe walks by. Women will point and whisper if they see him sitting on Wescoe Beach. Zerbe will have the right to cut in line.
Imagine this: You and I are sitting at a booth enjoying a cold one at Rick's Place one night. In the booth in front of us sits Chancellor Robert Hemenway, three National Merit Scholars and Baby Jay, in costume. Behind us sits Eric Chenowith and a random student.
Baby Jay could be clucking like a chicken, and Chancellor Hemenway could be clucking right back, and still, the first thing you'd say to me would be, "Dude, that's Chenowith! Man, I hope he plays better this year."
It's sad, really. When you think about it, there are a handful of former Kansas basketball players who have gone on to make millions. The majority, though, go on to normal jobs and normal lives. On the other hand, if you had said hello to one of the merit scholars or the clucking Baby Jay, you may have been able to make a connection that would one day lead to a nice job somewhere.
So Chris, have you worked on your autograph lately? You're gonna be needing it soon.
You'll be a local celebrity. It doesn't make me mad. Heck, I think you should live it up while you have the chance. As Tom Petty once sang, "It's good to be king and have your own world. It helps to make friends, it's good to meet girls. Yeah, the world would swing, if I were king."
"Can I help it if I still dream time to time?"

Women's basketball player knocked out by knee injury
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
After sitting out last season because of the NCAA partial qualifier rule, sophomore forward Sharonne Spencer was dealt a tragic blow in what was to be her first season of game action.
After getting her academics up to NCAA standards, Spencer suffered a season-ending knee injury in Monday's practice, tearing her anterior cruciate ligament and lateral
meniscus, and damaging her medial collateral ligament in her right knee
"We were looking forward to her finally getting out on the floor after sitting out last year," said coach Marian Washington.
Spencer will undergo surgery to repair the knee in two weeks and assistant athletic trainer Mark Cairns said she would be granted a red shirt for the 2000-01 season.
He also said Spencer's rehab process would take a minimum of six months because of the severity of the
injury.
The loss of Spencer will hurt the depth of the Jayhawks at the forward spot because Washington was expecting Spencer to be a major contributor this season.
"Sharonne had been playing very well, and we anticipated that she would contribute this season," Washington said.
The loss is even harder to take considering how well Spencer fit into the Jayhawks' style of play. She is an athletic forward who can run the
While Washington was disappointed she would be short one forward for the season, she was more concerned with Spencer "the person" and less with Spencer "the player."
Spencer's injury is the second time since last season that a Kansas play-

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 1).
Update old skills and acquire some new ones. The more you learn, the more confident you'll become. Worries lead to action in November. You have enough money to make a big change in December. Experience is your best teacher in January. Dreams may seem to fall apart in February. In late May and June, the outcome's not as expected; it's better. Destiny calls you in July, and new skills lead to great new friends around September.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Hold your cards close to your chest. Somebody would love to know your strategy, but that's not a great idea. Truth is you might not even have one. Maybe you should. Give it some thought.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Once you and your partner reach an agreement,
the job's more than halfway done. The other person's finding something hard to say. Ask questions,
or you might not discover what it is.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 4.
The less said at work, the better. Even messages will get garbled. Check all correspondence for typos before sending them out. If you hear or read something that doesn't seem right, call the source.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
You and a loved one have big plans, but more money's required. If your first attempt to find it doesn't work, try again. The idea that eventually pays off is one you've used before. Use your experience and be assertive.
Leo (Julv 23-Aua. 22) — Todav is a 6.
You do the work, but are you getting the money? Do the people who sign the checks know how tough this job is? They'll only know if you tell them, but don't complain. Think of another way to let them know, and more riches could be yours.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
If you're having a hard time getting your meaning across, relax. The other person might be having a hard time listening! A loved one with lots of experience can be a big help now. He or she can take a more direct route than you.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 5.
Something you're worrying about may come to pass. No need fighting it; be assertive instead. Buy what you need to solve a problem at home. You already know what it is, so make the decision and take action. You'll feel better later.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
You're a lot stronger than you think you are. You'll get help from a friend just when you need it most, too. Be sure to let the person who's waiting for the thumbs-up from you know when to move.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
You might make a good deal if you can keep your mouth shut. Saying the wrong thing's the best way to get into trouble with an edgy perfectionist.
Concentrate on doing the job that's in front of you the way it's always been done.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
You've got influential friends in the right places.
One might even owe you a favor. Don't ask for money.
That's about the only thing they won't provide. One might set you up with a good blind date, though, if you're interested.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
9
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Don't believe you every hear, even from an influential older person. Keep your expectations low so you won't be disappointed if what you're being offered turns out to be more illusion than reality. Do the homework to get the real thing.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
2
Somebody's trying to tell you something. Figuring it out is today's assignment. Something's in the way like emotions or anger. Ignore that if you can, and what you finally learn could be valuable. The exercise is good for you, too.

Their jerseys say All-Star on them, but in reality most of the members of the EA Sports/California South All-Stars are players who were cut by their respective professional leagues.
Regardless, these former college and professional players will provide the first test for the Kansas men's basketball team. The Jayhawks have had just 15 practices this season, so All-Stars coach Phil Bryant said he hoped his team could give Kansas a run for its money.
"This is the strongest team we've been able to put together in some time." Bryant told the Laurence Journal-World. "We've got (Ed) Cota and (Drew) Barry in the lineup. Kenny Price has been shooting great. We have Kris Weems of Stanford and a bigger front line than we've had in the past."
They will need a staunch front line if they plan to counter Kansas' front attack, consisting of senior Eric Chenowith, junior Jeff Carey and sophomores Nick Collison and Drew Gooden. Collison and Gooden
are both preseason All-Big 12 Conference selections.
California will counter with 1999 Montana State graduate Nate Holmstadt, 1996 Colorado State graduate Joe Vogel and former college players Kevin Simmons of UNLV and Nantambu Willingham of Connecticut.
Vogel may pose the biggest threat to the Kansas interior. After being drafted No. 45 in the 1996 NBA draft by the Seattle Supersonics, Vogel was cut and wound up playing professionally in Lebanon.
"I came to Europe after I got drafted," Vogel said. "I played in Turkey, and then I played in Jordan. I got injured, so I am on the rebound to get healthy and hopefully get back in the NBA."
Vogel also said his experiences in Lebanon would help him because "big men in Lebanon were very athletic."
"Assane N'Diaye and we are pretty athletic for big men," Voegel said. "We rebound well, and we shoot the ball well."
N'Diaye was left behind in the Lebanon league, and Vogel now focuses his efforts on the All-Stars college tour.
Although they have a strong front line, in theory, this team hasn't played together much longer than a week, and most of its players have never played together in organized basketball. Still, Bryant said his players would be ready to go at tipoff.
"They are ready to go," Bryant said. "They've looked good in scrimmage situations. We feel comfortable we can give them what they need in an exhibition game. We'll be able to run some sets and some plays."
Ultimately, the strength of the All-Stars lies in the backcourt. Cota was an All-American standout at North Carolina, but he was not drafted this year after leading the Tar Heels to the NCAA Final Four. Barry and Weems provide an outside threat that sophomore guard Kirk Hinrich and junior guard Jeff Boschee will have to contain.
Weems also brings a local flavor to the game, having played at Schlagle High School in Kansas City, Kan., during his high school days. Price played at Colorado from 1995 to 1998 and is familiar with the Allen Fieldhouse environment.

Jayhawk reserve players pick up Halloween treat
By Shawn Hutchinson
sports@kansan.com
Kanson sportwriter
Anna Wheeler said last night's Halloween bash at the Horelss Family Athletic Center ranked up there with her favorite volleyball memories this season.
Wheeler, a freshman outside hitter, saw action in two games for the Kansas volleyball team, pounding three kills and helping the Jayhawks exorcise some demons and thump Iowa State. 3-0.
"It was really exciting to get out there," Wheeler said. "This was the second time in conference games this season that I've played."
The win not only snapped a three-match losing streak for Kansas, 13-10 overall and 4-10 in the Big 12 Conference, it also provided Wheeler and other Kansas reserves the opportunity to play against the Cyclones, 2-21 and 0-14.
Wheeler, a Bellevue, Neb., native, saw her first Big 12 action last Saturday when the Jayhawks took on top-ranked Nebraska in Lincoln. With the opportunity to play in front of her family and friends in her home state, Wheeler played in one game and had two total attacks in a 3-0 loss to the Cornhuskers.
Her totals for the season going into last night's match were limited — four games played, two kills, two dives and three block ses.
"It was really exciting to get out there. This was the second time in conference games this season that I've played."
two digs and three block assists.
Wheeler's production last night, however, helped boost those totals. Against the Cyclones, Wheeler's three kills came on nine total attacks. She had the decisive kill in Kansas' 15-4 second-game victory and made a nice save on the final point in Kansas' 15-6 third-game win.
Anna Wheeler freshman outside hitter
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said Wheeler played well considering she was learning a new position this year.

"Any time you can play a lot of players, it's always nice."
"She was a middle blocker in high school," Bechard said. "But we put her on the outside tonight and we were happy she had three kills.
Among those players were freshman outside hitter Abbie Jacobson, who had three digs, and redshirt freshman Amy Billings, who had an assist and a dig late in the match. Semi-regional Kansas freshman players Jordan Garrison and Sarah Rome also saw action. Bechard said he also would've liked to have played sophomore Molly Scavuzzo, but she was nursing an injury.
"It was a lot of fun," said Garrison, who had four kills and a .571 attack percentage. "A lot of different people got the opportunity to play tonight, and it was exciting."

All in all, it was a Halloween to remember for Wheeler and the others.
"Getting to play a lot more," Wheeler said. "It was just awesome."

Wapner dons robe for TV series again
The Associated Press
There's really only one thing to remember: "It's Judy and everyone else," said Stu Billett, executive producer of The People's Court.
Wapner methodically questioned the customer, the dealer and Moog, who said he didn't believe he wore it. Judgment for the plaintiff: $488.47
NEW YORK — All rise! Judge Joseph Wapner's People's Court is back in session — if only for one day. The 81-year-old jurist returned to the set this week in a sweetly nostalgic exercise to celebrate his old show's 3,000th episode and maybe grab some attention in what has become one of television's most crowded genres.
"You may be seated," Wapner murmured, his low-key, affable demeanor was a stark contrast to the loud judges who wisecrack or crack down on plaintiffs and defendants who come before the camera.
Wapper judged the case of a man suing a sports dealer for a refund because he believed a hockey jersey he bought supposedly worn by former Boston Bruins goalie Andy Moog was a fake.
Wapner was television's only judge when he started The People's Court in 1981 after leaving the California bench.
It's all a viewer can do to avoid getting lost in legal mumbo jumbo.
Now there are 10 court shows on the air. There's Judge Judy Sheindlin's show, and her husband, Jerry, now presides over The People's Court. There's Judge Brown, Judge Hatthett, Mathis Mathis and Judge Lane. There's Divorce Court, Moral Court, Curtis Court and Power of Attorney.
Wagner has seen snippets of Judge Judy's work, but he wouldn't know a Judge Lane from a Judge Curtis. "I never watched myself," he said. "Why should I watch them?"
Judgment for the painter. **434.1-2**
Wapner, a non-hockey fan who briefly flubbed Moog's name, told the former goaltender that he heard Moog was a very good player.
He slipped easily into the robes Monday evening to tape the 3,000th show with Doug Llewelyn and Rusty Burrell, the court reporter and court officer on the original People's Court. It is scheduled to air on Thursday Nov. 16.
"I had some good days," Moog said. "So did I?" Wapner replied.

Jayhawks to meet top-seeded 'Huskers
By Yashitaka Ebisawa
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Making two steps at a time may be difficult, but that is what the Kansas women's soccer team will try to do today.
Having finished eighth in the Big 12 Conference with a 7-10-2 (3-6-1 Big 12) record, Kansas makes its first appearance in the Big 12 Tournament as it faces top-seeded Nebraska at 11 a.m. in Blossom Soccer Stadium in San Antonio.
"This is the first time we've ever been in six years," said Kansas coach Mark Francis. "So I guess that's a good step that the program is making."
The first postseason play is particularly meaningful for the senior
Jayhawks, who had tried to make the tournament since joining the program in 1997.
"We've worked so hard to build this program after all the coaching changes and a lot of ups and downs," said senior forward Colleen Colvin. "I'm so excited. We made it to the tournament finally, once in my four years here."
While making the postseason debut is a sure thing, the second step Kansas will try to make today looks challenging — beating Nebraska for the first time.
Nebraska, the No. 3 team in the country and defending Big 12 Tournament champions, finished the season with an 18-1 (9-1 Big 12) record The Cornhuskers have piled up six victories against Kansas since
Who: Kansas 7-10-2 (3-6-1 Big 12) vs. No. 3 Nebraska 18-1 (9-1 Big 12).

Significance: The game marks
Significance: The game marks Kansas' first appearance in the Big 12 Conference tournament.
1995, including this year's 3-0 win or Oct. 1 at SuperTarget Field in Lawrence.
"Nebraska is probably the toughest team to play in the conference," Francis said.
All numbers indicate the Cornhuskers' dominance in the conference. Nebraska leads not only Kansas, but also the whole conference in every major offensive category, outsourcing the opposition 79-8.
The Jayhawks' solid performance against the 'Huskers in their last meeting also gives the players confidence.
"Last time we played them, we had some chances," Colvin said. "If we finished those chances, it could have been totally different game."
Francis said that Kansas had a good chance to upset Nebraska — as long as the players showed up ready to play.
"I think a couple of goals we let them have were soft," he said. "If we can correct some of those things, come out with the intensity we had in some of the games this year, especially when we played against Nebraska, then I'm sure we'll do well."

Defensive line dedicated to knocking out opponents
By Jason Franchuk sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Algie Atkinson, Chaz Murphy and Nate Dwyer have combined for 18 sacks, for a total of 142 yards lost. Dwyer has six sacks this season, a career high that is the ninth highest for a Kansas player in a single season.
The Kansas defense surrendered 45 points and 489 yards in Saturday's loss to Texas Tech, but at least there's something positive to take from that side of the ball.
Atkinson said he was not concerned with the personal statistics. But he was concerned after Saturday's loss because as hard as the line pushed, it could not get to Texas Tech quarterback Kliff Kingsbury in time. Tech's offense was adept at moving the ball downfield quickly. The Red Raiders' no-huddle offense and Kingsbury's quick dropbacks and releases to receivers on short patterns made Kansas' penetration a moot point.
"We kept going, but we couldn't get there feet enough." Atkinson said.
there fast enough," Atkinson said.
It was Kansas' secondary that had the major test last week. This week at Nebraska, it's the defensive line's turn. The line, along with the rest of the defense, will have to face the Cornhusker's vaunted rushing game, which includes a tricky option. Kansas has allowed 97.6 yards per game rushing against its five Big 12 Conference opponents and has prevented its last three from reaching the century mark.
Allen remains confident all the
Kansas coach Terry Allen insisted he had no magic number for how many points he thought the Jayhawks needed to win last Saturday, but he seemed befuddled at the role reversal of his team. Typically, the defense has controlled Kansas' fate this year, but it was an obvious switch when the teams got into a shootout.
"For us to score 39 points against their defense, I thought we'd win the game," Allen said.
walking wounded will be available Saturday. Senior running back Moran Norris, after missing the Texas Tech game, has been of particular concern because of a sprained ankle.
Briefly...
"We think we'll have everyone back," Allen said. "Some guys might miss some practice this week."
Kansas named its players of the week after Saturday's Texas Tech game: senior quarterback Dylan Smith, offensive player of the
game; junior nose tackle Nate Dwyer, defensive player of the game; senior Victor Bullock, special teams player of the game; senior free safety Carl Nesmith, hit of the game; senior running back David Winbush, play of the game for his touchdown-saving tackle on the three-yard line after a fumble; freshmen Tony Strickland and Harold McClendon, scout teamers of the week.

Commission says no to ordinance
WWW.KANSAN.COM
By Matt Merkel-Hess and Kursten Phelps
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writers
The Lawrence Planning Commission voted last night against a proposed ordinance that would limit the number of unrelated people who can live in single-family neighborhoods.
The Commission had two slightly different versions of the proposed text amendment to consider and denied both with votes of five to three.
The Planning Commission is an advisory committee only. The City Commission will conduct a final hearing on the proposal later this month.
One of the Planning Commission's main questions about the proposal was enforcement. Linda Finger, Lawrence planning director, said the current limit of four unrelated people in single-family neighborhoods was hard to enforce.
"We don't have a very good record on trying to enforce that at this point in time," she said.
The Planning Commission unanimously approved a motion to initiate investigations of parking regulations, landlord registration and city code enforcement to solve the problems raised at last night's public hearing by students, homeowners and landlords.
Grant Butler, Student Senate Landlord/Tenant subcommittee chairman, said he was pleased with the final motion to initiate further investigation.
"Landlord registration would be beneficial to both the homeowners and students," he said.
Arly Allen, a representative of the Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods, said he hoped the argument of neighborhood residents would fare better at the City Commission.
"This is not a frivolous issue — it's the heart of Lawrence," he said. "This is the most critical issue facing Lawrence at the present time."
About 60 students, including nine representatives of Student Senate, crowded the commission chamber and foyer of City Hall for the meeting, which lasted until 11:30 p.m.
Ben Walker, student body president, presented a petition signed by 1,769 students opposing the ordinance and a Senate resolution that opposes the proposed change as unfairly targeting students as a specific demographic.
Jessica Bankston, Student Legislative Awareness Board legislative director, said the concerns of Lawrence residents were valid but that other avenues, such as a disorderly house ordinance passed in June, could alleviate problems if given time to take effect.
Erin Simpson, off-campus senator, said that because the city couldn't legally base an ordinance on students' ages, it used its status as unrelated residents. The city's equal opportunity in housing policy prohibited it from passing an ordinance based on age.
Alen said in his opening remarks that the U.S. Supreme Court had supported limits of two unrelated people in single-family neighborhoods.
"The use of zoning is the appropriate method to protect family values in neighborhoods," he said.
Marlon Marshall, student body vice president, said it was not obvious who lived in certain houses or whether residents were related, which he worried could lead to unequal enforcement based on assumptions and biases.
He said he was concerned that selective enforcement would target specific groups of the University's diverse population.
"We don't want any members of certain groups in our communities to feel ostracized or unwanted in their neighborhoods' or in Lawrence," he said.

Med Center clinics could be relocated this winter
By Melissa Davis
writer @kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Members of the University of Kansas Medical Center's family medicine and obstetrics and gynecology clinics say they were told last week that they might be moving to Johnson County. Some employees believe the move would hurt the Med Center's credibility, its students and its patients.
Staff who work on the first floor of the University's Med Center in Kansas City, Kan., which is dedicated to family medicine, and those working in the fourth floor obstetrics and gynecology offices would be displaced to make room for a cardiac transplant team from St. Luke's Health System of Kansas City, Mo., said Gary Bachman, assistant professor of family medicine.
Bachman said that he had been notified of the move but that the date was not final. The date the cardiac transplant team would move in has not been set either, he said.
"We were told about the move last week," he said. "We were told we were to move. It was a done deal."
MED CENTER CHANGES
What's happening: Employees at the Medical Center say the center plans to move its family medicine and obstetrics and gynecology clinics, which serve most of Wyandotte County, to Johnson County to make room for a team of cardiac transplant specialists.
What it means: Many Wyandotte residents who depend on public transportation could be without health care because they cannot get to the new location.
Resident physicians might be left without an accredited program if the new clinic is not approved by the Residency Review Committee. Enrollment could drop because students might not want to attend a medical school that is not located at one site.
But Mary Ball, vice president for public relations and marketing for the Med Center, said there was no move in the future.
When asked about the new cardiology department, Corrine Everson, public relations director for St. Luke's Hospital, said information about the move had not yet been made public.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway is on vacation and could not be reached for comment. Donald Hagen, executive vice chancellor; Chris Hansen, vice president of ambulatory services at the hospital; and Bob Hallinan, Med Center media relations coordinator, did not return phone calls Tuesday or yesterday.
What's next: the proposed move could take place just after the first of the year.
"That is not public information," she said. "We're expecting an announcement, but we don't have anything yet."
"There are no plans to remove primary care from the Med Center or Wyandotte County," she said. "I speak for the hospital. I'm telling you this information is untrue."
Med Center staff members besides Bachman said a move would happen in the

State control of tuition could change
By Kursten Phelps
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas could get more control of the tuition its students pay, possibly translating into more money overall, if the Kansas Legislature approves a new budget plan.
The plan, which was approved by the Board of Regents during its October meeting, would give Regents universities, including the University of Kansas, block grant funding and the responsibility of raising and spending its own tuition dollars. With block grant funding, the University receives its funds in one lump sum and has more control of how it is spent.
The University and the Legislature determine a total budget. The money to finance that budget comes from tuition revenues and state support. If the determined KU budget is $200 million, and the University brings in $80 million in tuition dollars, the state grants $120 to the University's budget, said Marlin Rein, KU director of budget and governmental affairs.
Rein said that system put the University at a disadvantage because it brought in more tuition money and received a smaller proportion of funding from the state than schools that raise less tuition money. He said KU students paid about 42 percent of the cost of their education, while students at regional schools such as Emporia State paid about 25 percent of their cost.
TUITION PAYMENT
What happened: The Board of Regents approved a new plan that would allow individual universities to collect and spend their own tuition dollars.
What it means: If approved by the Kansas Legislature, the University of Kansas would have more flexibility in its spending and could end up with more money in its budget.
What's next: the proposal will go to the Kansas legislature for approval in the coming session, which starts in January.

"The proposal wants to separate tuition from the budget process and focus only on what should be the fair level of state support for KU," Rein said. "The question is, should KU get the same level of funding increases as other schools in the system? We think so."
Rein said the administration hoped the new plan would mean more dollars for the University budget, which could improve faculty and unclassified staff salaries.
"I think that without prejudicing how generous the state will be in future budgets, we have to believe that if KU is able to achieve an increase on an annual basis from the state on par with what other campuses receive, then KU will be ahead," Rein said. "The state needs to have the same commitment to this campus as all the rest."
If the new plan were implemented, each university would "own" its tuition. That includes recommending its own tuition

increases or decreases, a change that Student Body President Ben Walker said has advantages and disadvantages.
"I agree that it would be more equitable and KU tuition dollars would go to KU, but I am worried about the potential in the future that tuition increases could become more prevalent." Walker said.
The new plan would still require tuition recommendations be approved by the Board of Regents, but Walker said he
was worried whether the Board would approve University recommendations. But students would have a more direct link to the decision-making process if it occurred at the University level, he said.
"I don't think it would be a problem to give us the opportunity to have input," he said. "It makes logical sense, and the chancellor seems to be pretty student-friendly on issues like this."

Pay increases of classified staff remain smaller
By Jason Kraill
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Georgia Hunter washes windows, mops floors and sweeps away cigarette butts around Staufer-Flint Hall. She's been working at the University for almost 16 years, and her $558 paycheck every two weeks from the state of Kansas gets stretched between utilities, groceries and tuition. One of her four children attends the University and plans to graduate this semester. Another attends Ottawa University in Ottawa.
Hunter is a classified staff member. Classified staff perform countless services on campus, such as food service, word processing, driving campus buses, mowing lawns, sweeping sidewalks and answering phones. But their pay increases are determined separately from those of teaching faculty members and other unclassified staff.
And in recent years, the classified staff's raise has been proportionately smaller than those for unclassified staff.
"They're always adding work, but they don't want to add more pay," Hunter said. "Now, they want us to do inside and outside work. In the winter, they ask us to shovel snow."
Like many classified employees at the University, Hunter was frustrated last fall when the law Legislature approved a 5.9 percent pay hike for teaching faculty and just a 2.5 percent increase for classified employees.
Salaries for classified employees such as Hunter are not approved by the Kansas Board of Regents, which recommends pay increases for unclassified staff, including teaching faculty members, to the Legislature. Instead, classified employees of the University receive the same raises as other state civil service employees, as determined directly by the state Legislature. The raises are not adjusted for different costs of living in different parts of Kansas.
"We don't get enough pay," she said. "It's very hard. They gave all the professors and teachers raises, and we don't get one. I didn't think that was right."
The Lawrence campus had 1,631 classified employees in Fall 1999, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. This fall's numbers have not yet been released.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway is working with the Board of Regents to have money allocated to the University in the form of a block grant, as opposed to the line-item allocations it currently receives from the state. If that happens, it would give the University greater control of the salaries of its classified staff.
Part of the reason for smaller pay increases in the state civil service is that they are considered by the Legislature as an omnibus item. Omnibus items are considered in April, at the end of a budget session, when most funding already has been allocated for the coming year, and the funding left over is notoriously small.
Mike Auchard, president of Classified Senate, which represents classified staff in University governance, said this showed that state leaders didn't put a high priority on civil service workers.
"We've had a long run in the state of Kansas of very high tax revenues," said Auchard, who is a general maintenance and repair technician at the University. "But instead of using that money effectively to run state government, they've opted to graft tax decreases. I don't think the governor and the Legislature recognize the true value of classified staff."

Senate will finance leadership program
Student Senate committees passed a bill last night that would allocate $35,100 from its reserve account to finance Leadershape, a week-long leadership training program.
The program had been financed the last three years by money from the University's contract with Coca-Cola, but the administration decided not to devote those funds to Leadershape this year, said Ben Walker, student body president.
The bill will go before full Senate on Wednesday for a vote.
The reserve account, which holds unused money allocated to student organizations, currently has a balance of $428,000.
In other business, Senate committees:
Approved a bill to allocate $2,785 to the February Sisters Association and its annual forum. The forum commemorates the founding of the KU women's studies program.

Film on Kansas gay life to be screened in union
Shades of Gray, an Independent film about gay life in Kansas, will be shown Sunday and Monday at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Sunday's screenings begin at 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Tim DePapee, the film's director, will participate in question-andanswer sessions following each of Sunday's screenings. The film will be shown again at 7 p.m. Monday.
The film focuses on the lives of five gay Kansans. DePeape, who lives in Lawrence, also included footage of interviews with Fred Phelps in the film.
David Michael Allen, liberal arts and sciences adviser, said the film premiered last April at the Kansas City Filmmaker's Jubilee. It also was the opening event for June's Kan Film Festival in Lawrence and is an official selection in this year's International Film Festival at Brussels.
"Repeatedly, people have asked us when are we going to screen it again," he said.

Leaders broker deal to end Israel violence
Arafat: brokered temporary peace deal with Israelis
the deans or three Israeli soldiers, the government announced early Thursday, after Cabinet minister Shimon Peres met Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat, defusing an explosive situation at least temporarily.
At midday, Arafat and Israeli Prime Minister Enud
Barak will address their people by radio and announce an end to all violence.
The soldiers were the first to die in combat since Oct. 1. Six Palestinians were also killed, as armed clashes intensified in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
The Peres-Arafat meeting led to the decision to hold the fire, at least for now. Barak's office said the meeting resulted in "agreement on a series of steps ... designed to renew security cooperation and an end to violence and incitement."
The statement said retaliatory measures decided on by the Cabinet would be held up to give a chance for the violence to be stopped.
Each side blames the other for the violence. Israel says its forces have responded with restraint to Palestinian attacks. The Palestinians charge that Israel has used excessive force in putting down demonstrations.
The Israeli decision appeared to douse the fuse of a conflict that was heading quickly toward further escalation
In 35 days of clashes, at least 160 people have been killed, most of them Palestinians.

Government offers $16,000 in study abroad scholarship
By Jennifer Valadez
Students at the University of Kansas now have the opportunity to receive as much as $16,000 to study abroad through the National Security Education Program scholarship.
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Beau Pritchett, coordinator of study abroad, said the Office of Study Abroad was accepting applicants for the scholarship.
"It's an undergraduate scholarship for study abroad in countries considered to be of critical importance to U.S. security interests," he said.
some of the countries included in the scholarship are located in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa and Latin America.
Pritchett said students could receive as much as $8,000 for a semester or $16,000 for an academic year of study abroad.
Three KU students were awarded the scholarship last year, Pritchett said. They are Tracy Alexander, Berryton junior; Chester Klotz, Lawrence senior and Callie Stanley, Lee's Summit, Mo. senior.
The scholarship was established in the early '90s after the fall of the Soviet Union. The U.S. government then realized it needed people skilled in dealing with countries where America had little previous contact.
The deadline to apply is Dec. 1 and application packets are available in the Office of Study Abroad.

Residence hall women receive harassing calls
By Rob Pazell

Jacqueline Pelzel's phone rang at 3:30 a.m. almost every morning for two weeks.
When she or her roommate would answer, the same thing would blare out of the receiver; heavy breathing and loud music.
Whe Pelzel or her roommate said "hello," the caller would hang up.
"It happened for two weeks constantly," said Pelzel, Ellsworth freshman. "We'd get two or three a night, and it was always at 3:30 in the morning."
Pelzel is one of nine female KU students in five residence halls who, according to KU Public Safety Office reports, was harassed by telephone in October. Calls ranged from simple hangups to heavy breathing and threats of physical harm.
Sgt. Troy Malen said that some harassing calls were just routine
pranks but that others could be threatening.
"It gets more serious when there's heavy breathing or threats to do bodily harm," Malen said. "The crime goes from harassment to criminal threat."
He also said some of the harassments might have come inadvertently from telemarketers.
"The computer dialing network is used while the actual telemarketer might be tied up on another call." Mailen said, adding that automatic dialers sometimes called the same number many times and that there often was a delay before the telemarketer spoke.
Leah Fogelberg, Minneapolis, Minn., freshman, said the keys to her room in McCollum Hall were stolen, and she received a threatening call that night — probably from the thief.
"He asked if I wanted my keys back." Fogelberg said. "Then he said, You shouldn't get your keys stolen because that's how girls get
Fogelberg said she wasn't as scared as she was annoyed.
raned."
"It pissed me off because it was really late at night," she said. "And I was the only one in there."
If pleased me on because it was really late at night," she said. "And I was the only one in there." Mailen said students could report phone harassment to the KU Public Safety Office and Network and Telecommunications Services, which is considering implementing a caller ID system for residence hall phones.
Jacqueline Pelzel said the University of Kansas should install caller ID so students could find out who was harassing them.
Fogelberg said she and her roommate were called only once, but they reported the crime and got a phone trace because of the nature of the conversation.
"We weren't sure who took the keys," Fogelberg said. "But we a got a trace on our phone because he talked about rape, and that was kind of a red flag."

Goddesses, witches create course curiosity
'Girl version' of Western Civ interests many
By Jennifer Valadez
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students interested in women's history also can learn a thing or two about goddesses and witches.
But they may have to wait until next fall.
Women's Studies 320. From Goddesses to Witches, will be offered in the spring, but it already has a waiting list.
"I already have a list full of closed-class openers," said Jasonne Grabher O'Brien, women's studies lecturer. "We've never had this many; it shows that this many students want this sort of class."
Grabher O'Brien said the course dealt with the evolution of the female image from goddesses to witches. Coverage will begin with women recognized in religious systems as goddesses or deities, then transitioned to the end of the Middle Ages and modern period, which deals with witches.
Grabher O'Brien said the class was a survey course that covered women's history from the antiquity period — Fifth Century B.C.— to 1500.
"The reason we're looking at this period of time is that it provides a sense of women's history over periods, and we'll be able to track differences and similarities," she said.
Lisa Bitel, director of women's studies, stressed that the class focused on history.
"It's simply a history of women in premodern Europe.
but with attention to culture, religion and spirituality as well as normal history such as society and politics," she said. "I gave it the name wanting to draw people, and they expected it to be about modern witches and goddesses and those who practice wicca. But it's not; it's a history class."
Bitel said finding the larger themes of women's spirituality became a major issue in the course, which includes topics of goddess worshiping to the religious wars.
"The students will study ways in which women took place in religion, how they observed it and how they used it as a political tool," she said. "It's a girl version of Western Civ."
Bitel said she designed the course in response to Western Civilization courses, which she said left women out of the timelines. She said she hoped
students would benefit from the unique approach to history the course provided — a feminist approach that refers to both men and women, which is not usually taught.
Although the class has a waiting list, Grabber O'Brien said she wanted to keep the number of students lower than 40 because the class would be discussion-based.
"I'm hesitant to go that high," she said. "If it's much beyond 30, because of the discussion element, we'll lose that sense of community, which is important."
Grabher O'Brien said she was enthusiastic about the interest the students had about the course.
"It's an engaging subject, and the students I've talked to seem really excited about it," she said. "I'm looking forward to next semester."

Move could alienate patients, hurt students
Continued from page 1A
near future. A professor at the Med Center, who asked to remain anonymous for fear of losing his job, said he had been notified of the move.
"The University and hospital authorities have never been so clear about the place of primary care in their priorities: Do it somewhere else," he said in an e-mail message.
He also said the move had the potential to destroy the ability of both the medical school and the hospital to recruit and train resident physicians and students because they would be away from the Med Center.
Resident physicians are medical school graduates who are training in specific areas before becoming specialists. Primary care physicians provide general health care to patients.
The Med Center administration asked staff members last Wednesday for their opinions on the move, but the administration didn't tell the staff the move could be to Johnson County, Bachman said.
"The way they handled this is just ludicrous," he said. Bachman said moving the family medicine and obstetrics, and gynecology clinics would be acceptable if officials decided to keep the clinics on campus and if the new site was set up efficiently.
He said that although a cardiac transplant team would draw attention and money to the Med Center, he thought the move might not benefit staff, resident physicians, medical students and thousands of patients from Wyandotte County who make up the majority of the Med Center's patients.
"We see thousands of
patients who seek their health care through our clinic that rely on public transportation to get to the Med Center," he said. "If we move, we lose patients, and that is a slap in the face to the community that is already underserved."
Bachman said he feared the move would damage the ability of the University to interest future physicians in primary care medicine.
He said a move to Johnson County, which might happen after the first of the year, would first have to be approved by the Residency Review Committee. The committee accredits residency training programs, which certify students to be specialists. This could cause problems for students applying to resident training programs because the committee will not meet again until March.
and students could enter a program that had not been accredited.
"If we lose our accreditation, the family medical residency at the Med Center could close," he said.
Only a handful of faculty know about the possible move, Bachman said, and resident physicians aren't aware of the proposal. Bachman said that resident physicians had been kept in the dark because hospital officials started interviewing residents yesterday for programs at the school and didn't want to scare resident physicians applying to the program.
Bachman said hospital authorities were forgetting a significant function of the Med Center, which was to teach resident physicians and medical students.
Low membership doesn't bother minority Greeks

Members of historically African-American and Hispanic-American fraternities and sororities say low membership and a lack of houses don't pose problems for their organizations.
National Panhellenic Council chapters, which include historically African-American and Hispanic-American fraternities and sororites, choose to have lower membership than the historically white fraternities and sororities because it promotes closer friendship, members say.
"It allows for closer rapport with each other," said Alberta Wright, assistant director of multicultural affairs.
African-American and Hispanic American fraternities and sororites average about seven to eight people per chapter. Many historically white fraternities and sororites have more than 100 active members.
About 3,800 students are involved in the 36 historically white greek organizations, while about 70 members are involved in the 10 historically African-American and Hispanic-American fraternities and sororities on campus. However, only 680 out of the 25,920 students on campus are African-American. There are nearly 600 Hispanic Americans on campus.
Belinda Hinojos, president of Sigma Lambda Gamma, a historically Hispanic-American sorority with eight active members, said it was a positive aspect for her sorority to have so few members.
"It helps because we are close-knit," said Hinojos, Kansas City, Kan., senior. "We know everything about every girl in Sigma Lambda Gamma."
"A lot of people don't even know there's a Latina sorority on campus," she said.
Russell Hayes, public relations chairman for the NPHC and Kansas City, Kan., senior, said another reason
Hinojos said one problem her sorority had was that it didn't go through rush, therefore, it didn't get a lot of exposure.

membership was low was because some people didn't have the money or the time to join.
"We try to help with the cost, but other than that, most of the hardship goes on the student." Hayes said.
The low membership doesn't make it economically feasible for the chapters to have houses, but Hinojos said she didn't care.
"It's not a priority for us," she said. Wright, a founding member of the University's chapter of the historically African-American Sigma Gamma Rho sorority in 1976, said her sorority went to dinner with a historically white sorority that year and was amazed that many of the women didn't know each other.
Wright said low membership brought the members closer together.
"When you have those numbers, it's more like a family." Wright said.

"You wouldn't have 100 people in your family," he said.
Page said members usually stayed involved even after they graduated.
"There are just as many graduate chapters as undergraduate chapters," he said. "At white chapters, there's not a heavy emphasis on being a part of it after you leave."

Voters have more power than ever
Perspective
S
So you don't like Bush or Gore? That doesn't matter. Even without the Presidential race, this election is sti
Presidential race, this election is still the most important in years for KU students. Lawrence voters will have more power than ever on the local, state and national levels this year for three reasons:
1. The proposed zoning ordinance could raise your rent. Last night, the Lawrence planning commission discussed reducing the number of unrelated people allowed to live in houses in the city's single-family neighborhoods. If the ordinance passes, you could no longer split your rent with your three college buddies on that lovely circa-1960s house. You could split rent with only one other unrelated person. Fewer buddies to split rent with equals higher rent for you, not to mention
equals higher rent for you, not to mention
more students looking in housing. The sudden increase in housing demand means higher costs for everyone in Lawrence.
Here's the beauty of democracy. If city and county commissioners vote to kick hundreds of us or our friends out on the street, we'll vote and kick them out of office. They give KU students the shaft, we'll give them the chance to focus on their day jobs. Even if you don't care about

other races and if you couldn't make it to city hall last night, vote Nov. 7.
2. The Legislature will redistrict Kansas, which affects voter choice. Despite what candidates for the Kansas House and Senate might say, what's really at stake this year is redistricting. Every 10 years, state legislatures get to redraw the lines of congressional or state legislative districts. This "redistricting" can help or hurt a party bigtime.
A heavily Republican legislature could split Wyandotte County, a rare Kansas Democratic stronghold, into districts with larger populations of conservatives, making it impossible for Democrats to win congressional or state seats there.
Sounds far-fetched, you say? Hardly. This kind of redistricting happened after Kansas lost a congressional seat from the 1990 census. 'The Republican state legislature redrew the congressional districts and left longtime Democratic incumbent Dan Glickman of Wichita without a district he could win.
A party that strongly controls the Legislature can manipulate redistricting to undermine local voter choice and give itself an advantage for the next 10 years. This year, you're not just voting for individual legislators. You're voting to determine who draws the lines of congressional and legislative districts in Kansas for the next decade.
3. Our congressional race could have national impact. The hotly contested 3rd District U.S.House of Representatives race between Democratic U.S.Rep. Dennis Moore and Republican Kansas Rep. Phill Kline is important for two reasons.
first, it's a classic moderate-versus-radius clash. Kline is from the social conservative wing of the deeply divided Kansas House Republicans. Moore, on the other hand, won the last election because he could appeal to both moderate Republicans and Democrats, which together represent the majority in our district.
Second, this race could be nationally important. Republicans probably will keep the U.S. Senate, but they only have a thin majority in the House of Representatives. Democrats could win control of the House with a net shift of only six seats.
Why does this make re-electing Moore important? If Bush wins and Republicans keep both houses of Congress, all three branches of government would be firmly Republican — up to four Supreme Court justices are expected to be appointed by the next president. Recent history shows undivided government results in extreme legislation being enacted without needing to compromise with anyone.
Who needs a haunted house to be scared this Halloween season when we can sit at home and think about the impact of that? Reelecting Moore will encourage moderation.
If you're registered, vote on or before Nov. 7. Your vote may never hold this much power again.

Perspective
Freedom of speech includes hate speech
Some have come to view free speech less as a democratic right to be cherished and more as a dangerous weapon that can fall into the "wrong" hands. Free speech is a precious liberty. But what if it means free speech for Howard Stern, racists, Nazis, Eric Cartman and anti-Semites?
Many state universities, including KU, have adopted hate-speech regulations. Rather than promoting themselves as vehicles for stimulating discussion and debate, universities are
becoming highly regulated institutions that seek to protect students from unsolicited or offensive ideas.
former or observant
Former Chancellor Gene Budig is oft quoted: "As a university, we must allow expression of sometimes uncomfortable or controversial ideas and discoveries. But we have no obligation to provide a forum for the worn-out tokens of fear, ignorance and prejudice. They insult our intelligence; they assault our dignity. They are contrary to the nature of a university."
BLOOMSBURY
Scott Kaiser columnist opinionkanasa.com
they cannot be tolerated here."
Virtually every university today has a code of conduct governing how students may behave toward one other and toward lecturers and what they may reasonably say or write in conversation, meetings and essays.
Hate-speech regulations — by restricting the civil liberty of free expression — undermine civil rights. A goal of the civil rights movement in the 1960s was securing for all citizens the liberties protected by the Bill of Rights, including freedom of expression. At that time, protesters could expect a fire firehe to be trained on them as reward for their thoughtful display of public expression.
today, it is clear that hate speech regulations — while not as blatant as a fire hose — are aimed at denying citizens the same basic liberties that the civil rights movement fought so hard to earn for minorities.
By punishing certain forms of expression, it is
hate speech regulatory advocates who are seeking to deny liberty to a new group of ideological minorities. Thus tacitly endorsing the unjust principle that their 1960s predecessors fought against — that your right to freedom of expression depends on government's approval and group affiliation. Ironically, isn't this one of the injustices that fueled the civil rights movement in the first place?
Does a civil society need government to ban all the bad ideas? Aren't educated people able to recognize what they believe is false? Are hate speech regulations premised on the worry that people will actually believe everything they hear?
In 1971, the Supreme Court in Cohen vs. California recognized that "we cannot indulge in the facile assumption that one can forbid particular words without running a substantial risk of suppression of ideas ... [and] government might soon seize upon the censorship of particular words as a convenient guise for banning ... unpopular views."
there is no need to ban false or offensive expression because words have consequences only if we choose to give them consequences. The words themselves don't cause things to happen, but our estimation of the value and truth of those words.
It would seem that a rational person would laugh or not take offense at a blatantly erroneous comment. If a reasonable person would find the comment false, then it is difficult to see how the comment could be dangerous or worthy of censorship.
Hate speech regulations also are premised on the idea that speech needs to be restricted because people lack the capacity to make correct judgments. This does not make sense because the only way to enhance one's ability to form a correct opinion is to inform him with more speech. Restricting speech can only compromise one's decision-making.
Freedom of speech is actually the best device we have to shape our decisions and justify our beliefs.

Editorial
Casino not necessary in Lawrence
Casino would damage the character, atmosphere of Lawrence community.
The Delaware Tribe of Indians wants to build a casino in northeast Lawrence, but a casino in Lawrence would hurt the community and become an unnecessary temptation to college students.
Lawrence has an active downtown, a healthy college atmosphere and the feel of a small town in a medium-sized city. Lawrence can do without the possible crime and addiction that accompany casinos.
Although the tribe says it does not have plans to build a flashy Las Vegas-style casino, casinos are seldom anything other than the flashy, money-guzzling type.
Representatives from the tribe say Douglas County would be reimbursed for any property tax lost in the deal, but the city could not be reimbursed if the casino doesn't make any money. It may be difficult for a Lawrence casino to make enough money, given the proximity of casinos in the Kansas City area.
Planners should take a look at our neighbors in Kansas City. If they have trouble keeping their casinos running with more than one million residents, a community with less than 100,000 residents cannot be expected to support a casino. A larger city may be able to support the possible negative effects of having a casino, but a smaller community such as Lawrence would absorb the crime and debt. Illegal activity generally follows casinos, and the Lawrence community could lose its sense of a safe and healthy community if a casino were here.
The temptation to gamble may lead to addiction and debt for some college students. Although the casino could provide more than 1,400 jobs and educational scholarships for college students, jobs and scholarships are worth little compared to the number of students who may be tempted to gamble their money away.
Lawrence should be cautious in discerning which growth opportunities to embrace. In this case, the negatives effects outweigh the positives, and it would be better to allocate funding to something other than a destructive casino.

Vote trading lambasted
Secretary of State threatens legal action in Kansas
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Secretary of State Ron Thornburgh said he would take legal action against anyone in Kansas who agreed to swap votes for president in next week's election.
Some Internet sites are urging Ralph Nader supporters in states where the race is close between Democrat Al Gore and Republican George W. Bush to vote for Gore on Tuesday.
In exchange, Democrats would agree to vote for Nader — the Green Party's candidate — in states where Bush is expected to
win, such as Kansas.
Three Internet sites that arranged vote trading between backers of Gore and Nader have closed down following complaints from California election officials, but at least three others still are operating.
Thornhurgh said Wednesday he wasn't sure whether the practice was illegal, and he wasn't aware of any vote swapping in Kansas. However, he also said he would go to court if anyone tried it in the state.
"I will do everything I can to vigorously prosecute vote swapping," Thornburgh said. "The vote is a very precious instrument in democracy, and to use it in this scheme is risky at best and irresponsible at worst."

and the Green Party
Gore would gain valuable votes in close states where Nader is threatening to siphon off Democratic votes. In return, the Green Party would qualify for federal money in 2004 if Nader received 5 percent of the nonlar vote.
Thornbury said he had not looked at any of the Internet sites but was surprised to learn of their existence.
"It is one of the most amazing schemes I have ever seen in electoral politics," he said. "It just astonishes me that somebody thinks they can get away with this."
Window blinds recalled
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In its largest-ever product recall, the government says some 500 million horizontal window blinds sold during the past decade need their cords repaired because 130 babies and young children have been strangled since 1991. It is the second such recall in the past five years. Children can't use the curved windows.
Children can turn the puls corns — as well as the inner cords that adjust the slats — into nooses around their necks, the Consumer Product Safety Commission and an industry group. Window Covering Safety Council, said yesterday. About 55 million horizontal blinds are sold each year.
"It's a horrible hidden hazard that even the best parent would never think of," said Ann Brown, the safety commission's chairperson. "It's a silent death — the children can't call out — and the par-

ent comes in and finds their child hanging from the blind."
The agency first addressed the problem in 1995 by issuing a similar recall, providing repair kits to consumers and getting the blinds industry to redesign its products.
Last year, another investigation found the inner cords that adjust the slats could also endanger children.
Of the 130 deaths reported, the inner cords contributed to the strangulation of 16 children, all of whom were 9 to 17 months old and

in cribs placed next to windows. In most eases, the outer pull cords were placed out of reach, but the children pulled the inner cords into loops and were strangled.
The window coverings industry redesigned its products to remove the inner cord danger. Peter Rush, head of the Window Covering Safety Council, said consumers could visit the council's Web site at http://www.windowcoverings.org to learn how to check blinds for safety.
the safety commission advises owners of blinds to call the council toll-free at 1-800-506-4636 to request a repair kit for each set of blinds.
The commission said parents should consider buying cordless models or keep window covering cords and chains out of the reach of children, even when they climb on furniture. Cribs also should be away from blinds, and the cords should never be tied, creating another hazardous loop.
The Associated Press
A 12-year-old boy was killed in a shooting during a Halloween egg fight, and several hundred revelers pelted police officers near a college campus.
A 14-year-old boy in Atlanta shot and killed a 12-year-old boy because he was angry about being struck in a Halloween egg fight, police said. The boys' names were not released.
About 2,400 Halloween revelers mobbed streets near Southern Illinois University in Carbondale, Ill., leading to dozens of arrests.
At one point, several hundred people surrounded seven police officers, pelting them with rocks, bottles and cans while the officers fired back with mace. The Southern Illinoisan newspaper reported. More police soon moved in and broke up the crowd with tear gas.
Police in Newark, Ohio, said a 13-year old boy and a friend set up a hangman's skit Monday evening to scare trick-or-treaters. One boy stood on a plastic laundry basket to reach a noose hanging from a tree branch and fell with his head in the noose when he either slipped or the basket collapsed. He was listed in poor condition yesterday.
A 20-year-old New Bloomfield, Mo., man was charged yesterday with endangering the welfare of children by giving condoms and covered, unused syringes to trick-or-treaters.
Sheriff John Hemeyer said the man put the items in a container along with candy on the front porch of a Jefferson City home he was visiting on Tuesday and telling children to "help yourselves."

Guard wants leadership role
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas guard Kristen May likes to be the center of attention.
Whether she's on the court or dancing at Late Night, the Kansas City, Mo., sophomore wants the spotlight.
"The ball is like the spotlight," May said. "If I can take care of that and give the ball to my teammates when necessary, I'm doing my job."
May didn't have a lot of time to do her job in the early part of her freshman season and averaged less than five minutes per game.
But May turned up her game when it mattered most — during
the conference season. In Big 12 Conference games, May saw increased minutes, and her numbers went up to match.
Coach Marian Washington said that May played well down the stretch because she was gaining more confidence. She also said that May's play down the stretch was a result of her smart play and her desire to improve.
"One of the things that we try to encourage guards to do is to take more of a leadership role out there," Washington said. "I see her really responding to that challenge. She's very much willing to be a leader."
Now the confidence she built at
the end of last season has to be rebuilt in a different way. Last April during a pick-up game, May tore the anterior cruciate ligament in her right knee and spent the summer rehabilitating it. That's not to say that May doubted that she could return, but major knee surgery has no guarantees.
"I'm still a little apprehensive about my knee," she said.
Since the start of practice, May has worked on regaining confidence back in her knee, but she said some work remained.
"I haven't played in seven or eight months, so it's a new feeling," May said. "Sometimes I get a little pain from some odd movements that my knee is not actually used
May has been working every day to return her knee to its original form, and Washington said May might need to slow down.
to."
"I think she has to be patient with herself because she's wanting to do so much so quickly," Washington said.
While she was working getting her knee back to playing condition, May also worked on her shot. Now she's looking to score, as well as dish the ball off.
"I feel I've improved greatly, especially with my shot." May said. "I'm looking forward to getting in and scoring some points for the team."

Big 12 Conference previews Missouri
Women Tigers band together after loss of last season's starters
By Zac Hunter
Sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Missouri women's basketball team wants respect.
Coming into the season, Big 12 Conference coaches picked the Tigers to finish eighth, and that doesn't sit well with junior guard Natalie Bright.
"I can't wait for the season to begin," she said. "The preseason polls don't mean anything to us. If anything, it motivates us to work hard and prove them wrong."
However, the presseason ranking might be somewhat generous, considering that Missouri finished seventh last season and lost starters Julie Helm and Amy Monsees, both of whom averaged in double figures last season.
The Tigers lost eight letter winners from last season's team that went 18-12 and 7-9 in the Big 12. But Missouri's returning players include starters Bright and senior forward Amanda Lassiter.
Marlena Williams also was an inside force, averaging 11.3 points and 5.1 rebounds per game. Williams scored in double figures 23 times while starting 25 games. She showed her versatility by mixing in 40 assists, 18 blocks and 48 steals.
Athleticism may be the big difference between this year's team and
those of the past, and coach Cindy Stein said she was ready to get her team on the floor and see what they could do.
Stein also said that Missouri had to play consistently against the top teams in the conference.
Last season, the Tigers were an abysmal 1-5 against Kansas, Iowa State, Oklahoma and Texas. As a result, they ended up in the Women's National Invitational Tournament where Arkansas bounced into the second round.
"Playing in the WNIT was something we didn't want to do." Lassiter said. "We wanted to be in the NCAA tournament."

Missouri men without star guard
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Coach Quin Snyder's second year at the helm of the Missouri Tigers is shaping up much like his debut season, with one exception — his team is without its star point guard.
Keyon Dooling's departure for the NBA following his sophomore campaign left a gaping hole in the middle of Missouri's game plan.
It's not easy replacing someone who was drafted No. 10 by the NBA and was the one the team was built around, but Snyder is attempting to replace Dooling with senior point guard Brian Grawer. He has grilled Grawer to prepare him
to lead the Tigers.
"I am hard on him," Snyder said. "I hold him accountable for everything. If we get in a drill and the freshmen are late, it is Brian's fault. If he develops that mindset, he will evolve into a role I need him. In if he can take that role, we can be a good team."
The Tigers will also look to sophomore forward Kareem Rush to turn his game up a notch because Missouri lacks a dominant scorer. Snyder said junior guard Clarence Gilbert would need another confident shooting season to compliment Rush's soft shooting touch. Seniors Johnnie Parker and Tajudeen Soyoye will be expected to provide the Tigers with some muscle.
Because Missouri lacks a high-scoring offense, Snyder said his team must pride itself on its defense if it was going to win many games.
With the exception of Soyoye, size is a weakness for Missouri. It has, however, added newcomers Arthur Johnson, a 6-foot-9 forward/center and highly touted 65 guard Rickey Paulding.
Missouri received good news yesterday. Fulltpress.com reported that freshman Travon Bryant, a 6-foot-8 power forward from Long Beach, Calif., has achieved a qualifying SAT score and will be eligible to play for Missouri at the end of the semester.

Coach Roy Williams said he thought Chenowith had improved.
Sure, it was an exhibition game against a team that wasn't in top shape, but the players had big and experienced bodies. Chenwith never backed down, but admitted the real test awaited down the road.
"That's not a good indication of what it's gonna be like in the season," Chenowith said. "They've got 20 games in 20 days. They're just to pace themselves."
Two of his field goals came in the final 90 seconds of the first half, both on powerful two-handed dunks.
The trouble Williams spoke of was Chenowith's 3-for-8 shooting from the field. However, Chenowith's effort was solid.
It wasn't a spectacular night by any means, but Eric Chenowith verified to fans what his coach has raved about all year — he has drastically improved from his sub-par junior season.
Chenowith, a senior center, chipped in 11 points and swiped 15 rebounds in just 19 minutes of play during Kansas' 98-80 exhibition victory against the EA Sports/California All-Stars.
Although Chenowith said he was pleased with his preseason progress, his teammates are the ones who may appreciate it the most. Sophomore forward Nick Collison said this was just the beginning of a great senior season for Chenowith.

Senior Charlie Gruber has shown the ability to excel in big meets starting with last year's Big 12 Conference Cross Country Conference Championships and continuing through this past summer's U.S. Olympic Trials Qualifying Meet and this year's Big 12 Championships.
"He's actually played better in practice than he did tonight," Williams said. "He didn't have a very good feeling with the ball, but you could see the work he did in the offseason."
"I was pretty happy individually on Saturday," Gruber said. "I got out smart and didn't run too hard at first. That was my advantage."
For the second consecutive season, Gruber's performance has peaked at the Big 12 Championships. Gruber posted season-best times at both the 1999 and 2000 Big 12 Championships.
"I tried to be aggressive," Chenowith said. "I thought it was a good start. We got kind of sloppy at the end, but it was a good start."
"I don't think we need any more gimmicks to get Eric to play well, because he's going to play well all season," Collison said.
Last Saturday, Gruber showed no fear at the Big 12 Championships in Boulder, Colo., by leading the Jayhawk men individually with a 14th place finish. Gruber said getting off to a good start was key for him.

During a loose-ball situation midway through the half, he sprawled into the corner after the ball, corralled it and passed it to sophomore guard Kirk Hinrich. Hinrich pushed down the center of the court and fired a pass to senior forward Kenny Gregory who elevated for an Allen Fieldhouse-shaking slam that was part of a 12-3 Kansas run.
Coming into this season, Gruber was fatigued from a busy summer of running, which included an appearance at the U.S. Olympic Trials in Sacramento, Calif. Gruber sat out Kansas' first meet of the season and spent a lot of time during the first two weeks of the season getting back into cross country shape.
One minute later, Chenowith rebounded a missed jump shot by junior guard Jeff Boschee and powered to the rim for another dunk that sent Kansas into halftime with a comfortable 46-32 lead.

The District V Midwest Regionals will be Saturday, Nov. 11, in Ceder Falls, Iowa, where Kansas still can qualify for a berth to the NCAA Championships. Gruber said the Jayhawks were capable of qualifying for the NCAA Championships if the entire team performed its best.
"I'te true that we did have a lot of momentum going into Saturday," Gruber said. "But all we can do now is regroup. This is a small setback, and it isn't the end of the world. We just have to be ready for a big race at districts."
"We're still a shoot in chance for a nationals bid," Gruber said. "If all seven of us put together our best races all on the same day, we can qualify."
"I feel very good about Charlie's performance on Saturday." Clark
said. "He improved from finishing 33rd at last year's Big 12 to 14th this year. Charlie's really a half-miler guy, and for him to finish 14th is quite an accomplishment."
"We're still a shoot-in chance for a nationals bid.
If all seven of us put together our best races all on the same day, we can qualify."
The Kansas men had high hopes entering Saturday's Big 12 Championships and finished a disappointing sixth place. Gruber said although the Jayhawks were on a roll before the Big 12 Championships, Saturday's performance wouldn't kill their season.
One thing is for sure: Gruber will be ready for that chance.

'Hawks wallop All-Stars, 98-80

By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansas sportwriter
The California All-Stars weren't for real, and Eric Chenowith knew it.
"It was kind of fun," said Chenwitch, senior center. "They don't box-out and they don't run back on defense, so you can make a lot of plays."
And that's exactly what Chenowitt and the Jayhawks did, smoking the All-Stars in the first half and walking off with an easy 98-80 victory last night in front of 15,600 fans at Allen Fieldhouse.
Yet the Jayhawks weren't entirely pleased with the easy exhibition win. The Kansas players said they would need to improve before the regular season begins next week. Kansas coach Roy Williams was especially
"I did like some things out there, but I thought we were a much better shoot-
dismayed with Kansas' two-for-13 performance from three-point range.
ing team than we showed," Williams said. "We're a good shooting team and we will shoot it better."
The root of the Jayhawks' three point woes was junior guard Jeff Boschee, who didn't hit a shot from long distance in three attempts. Not far behind was senior guard Luke Axtell, who went one-for-five from behind the arc.
"Jeff and Luke are good shooters," said Nick Collison, sophomore forward. "They just weren't on tonight. It's just a matter of getting the ball to the right person."
In the first half, Axtell atoned for his outside woes by tallying eleven points, but then scored only two points — on a dunk — in the second half. In that last frame, though, Collison stepped up and finished with a game-high 15 points.
That was the kind of balanced attack that Williams said he wanted to see all season.
Of course, balanced scoring is easy to come by when you snag almost twice as many rebounds as your opponent, which Kansas did last night. Chenowith led Kansas with 15 rebounds to go along with his 11 points, and sophomore forward Drew Gooden chipped in with 14 rebounds and 14 points.
"Balanced scoring is the best kind."
Williams said. "I like the fact we have a lot of guys who can put the ball in the basket."

The Jayhawks came out from all angles at the beginning of both halves, tallying a 14-2 run a little more than five minutes into the contest. At about the same point in the second half, Kansas used a 12-3 run — sparked by two Kenny Gregory gunks — and
erased all of the game's suspense.
Williams said the only problem he had with the second run was when Axell attempted a behind-
the back pass to Gregory. The pass was deflected by the All Stars' Nick Shepard, and Williams pulled Axtell to give him a tongue-lashing.
"I told him if he made that pass, then I'd be clapping along with everyone else," Williams said. "But I also said if you're man enough to try it, then you better be man enough to face the consequences."
Williams stressed after the game that last night was a glorified practice and that fans shouldn't take too much stock in what they saw.
The Jayhawks will have another home exhibition on Saturday night against Emporia State before starting their season in one week against UCLA in New York City.

Jayhawks expecting huge, hostile crowd
By Jason Franchuk
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas football coach Terry Allen will not have to look at Saturday's weather forecast for Lincoln, Neb., because it will not matter.
At least not the way Allen thought it did in last week's home loss to Texas Tech, when only 26,000 fans showed up at Memorial Stadium — a very generous estimate, at that. Allen noted that fans might have steered clear of Lawrence because of an apparent rain storm that was coming in from the west. That left most of Memorial Stadium's north bowl vacant, and Allen thought that played a role in the outcome of the game because there was no crowd noise to hinder Tech's attack.
But except for the Jayhawks deciding whether to wear short sleeves or long, Allen can be sure to skip the Weather Channel because there are a few certainties when traveling to play the Cornhuskers. It's going to be loud. It's going to be red. And weather will not keep the 73,198 seats in Nebraska's Memorial Stadium from being filled.
"I think it's a great place to play college football," Allen
said. "Their fans have great respect for the game."
Despite all the concern of not playing in front of big home crowds this year, the Jayhawks must now go on the road again. They have been there before but haven't had to deal with a crowd as big as the one anticipated for Saturday's 2:30 p.m. kick-off.
Senior quarterback Dylen Smith agreed. His job is even tougher because he will have to try to call plays and audibles above the noise created by Nebraska screamers. If Kansas falters, the crowd becomes exponentially tougher to handle. But Smith also likes the chance to prove that last year's narrow 24-17 loss to Nebraska at Memorial Stadium was not a fluke, and that Kansas can duplicate that effort away from home.
Allen said not much could be gained from playing in front of a big crowd if it wasn't your own.

He also has a sense of history. Growing up in California, he said he used to follow the Huskers

"I think you want to play in that kind of atmosphere," Smith said.

Kansas will have to try to gain satisfaction from silence. "I don't really get caught up in the fans." Murphy said. "But to win, we need to shut them down and make them feel down."
Soccer team loses to defending Big 12 champions

The Kansas women's soccer team couldn't find the back of the net, but the sixth-year program surely found some hope for the future in previously uncharted territory.
Kansas, making its postseason debut, wasn't supposed to give any trouble to Nebraska in the opening game of the Big 12 Conference Tournament yesterday in San Antonio, Texas. But not only did the Jayhawks keep the defending champions scoreleast in the first half, but eighth-seeded Kansas also created some clear scoring chances to threaten the No. 3 team in the country. That was until the 53:59 mark, when Nebraska finally scored.
Nebraska 4
Kansas 0
It seemed that Kansas surrendered that
Kansas was eliminated from the Big 12 tourney.
"The problem was of the goals that we gave up," said Kansas coach Mark Francis. "I thought three of them were a bit soft. I was proud of them today and how we played, but we just did half the job."
moment. At the end, the scoreboard read 4-0 for the 'Huskers.
"We've got a lot of freshmen, sophomores and two juniors that are coming back next year." Francis said. "I think once you go to the first-class event, once you get experience being there, that makes you hungrier to come back."
The other half could be done next year.
"For seniors, it's nice to be able to make it in their last year and be able to play in the tournament." he said.
Francis said the first trip to the postseason tourney was meaningful for the senior players, who had worked hard to build the program.
Two of the Jayhawks' scoring chances were created by those seniors.
Senior forward Lindsey Horner found herself one-on-one with Nebraska goalie Karina LeBlanc, but could not pass the All-Big 12 second team netminder, who entered the game riding a scoreless streak of 175:44. Senior Colleen Colvin also had a chance in the second half, but her left-footed shot rolled into LeBlanca's arms at the top of the six-yard box.
Meanwhile, Nebraska forward Christine Latham capitalized on a Jayhawk miscommunication in the back about 14 minutes into the
second half Latham, Big 12 Player of the Year, won a bouncing loose ball between freshman goalkeeper Sarah Gonzalez and freshman Maggie Mason, who was playing defender for the first time this season, and put it into the Kansas goal.
"That kind of got the energy going," Latham said. "We started doing the things we knew we could do."
The rest of the game was a Nebraska scoring spree.
In the 66th minute, Latham scored her second goal of the game. Nebraska freshman Lindsey Greenwood added a goal in the 77th minute. The scoring spree ended with Nebraska freshman Christy Harms' goal in the 79th minute.
Kansas ended the year with a 7-11-2 overall record.

New boxers bounce back to the arena
But boxing is back
It is, without doubt, the most maligned sport today.
it's brutal; it's barbaric; it's corrupt.
But boxing is back.
It may not have the popular appeal of the days when the whole world hung on every flick of Muhammed Ali's butterfly wings. And the heavy-weight championship of the world will never again be the most prestigious title in sports.
but boxing is out.
"The Prince," "Sugar." "Tito," "Ferocious," "The Golden Boy," the list goes on — they are young, talented, hungry fighters. And they're not afraid to put on a show.
This crop of fighters is restoring some much needed art to the sweet science.
They dance, they flip, they rap, but best of all, they got serious skills and they like to show them off.
And in the next several weeks, the renaissance will be in full swing.
It starts Saturday night on HBO when "Sugar" Shane Mosley makes his first defense of the WBC welterweight title he took from Oscar De La Hoya this summer.
Mosley, undefeated at 35-0, outlasted De La Hoya in a 12-round battle that, by many accounts, was the best title fight in years. Now, he faces the rather lightly regarded Antonio Diaz.
This bout doesn't promise a real competitive war, but Mosley is worth watching all by himself. A technically brilliant fighter, "Sugar" is one of the classiest, well-spoken and hardworking fighters in the game. And he also has good power, ending 32 of his victories with knockouts.
Fast-forward nine days to Nov. 11.
The big boys will take the stage as heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis faced David Tua.
But the best fight in the near future is set for Dec. 2 when Felix "Tito" Trimidad and "Ferocious" Fernando Vargas take the mat.
Both are undefeated and both bring junior middleweight titles to the fold — Trinidad's WBA belt and Vargas' IBF crown. Both are slick, polished fighters.
Some people discount Lewis' greatness as a champion by pointing to the overall weakness of today's heavyweight division.
But Lewis is a great fighter. His size is exceptional, his technique spectacular. He keeps smaller men at bay with a precise and punishing jab. Often, that's all he needs to do to win, and his critics content that he should be more offensive-minded.
The contrast in styles should make this the best heavyweight fight since Evander Holyfield shocked the world with his upset win against Mike Tyson.
Offense shouldn't be a problem when Lewis defends his WBC and IBF titles against "The Terminator" Tua. 37-1.
Tua is a fighter in the Mike Tyson mold — short, compact, with scary power. Tua constantly moves forward, trying to get inside and score that devastating blow.
Trinidad's impressive resume includes victories against Oscar De La Hova and Pernell Whitaker.
These three fights give just a sample of the talented boxers who are revitalizing the sport. Others include "The Prince" Naseem Hamed, Kostya Tszyu and Zab Judah.
Vargas is younger and less experienced, but he's loaded with talent and knockout power.
And, of course, there's the troubling but endlessly intriguing shadowy presence of "iron" Mike Tyson.
Tyson indicated he might retire after his easy, and surprisingly clean, 2-round win against Andrew Golota. But he was recently spotted at a Lennox Lewis workout.
Let's get ready to rumble.

Medicine With A Small Meal If Stomach Occurs
Some students — especially those with project-oriented majors such as art, theater and architecture — turn to prescription amphetamines to stay awake beyond the normal limitations of the body during crunch times. Photo illustration by Thad Allender/KANSAN
Some turn to drugs for ALL-NIGHTERS
By Sarah Smarsh Special to the Kansan
Sherry had two days to finish her final art project. She and her coffee cup had been at the Art and Design Building until 3 a.m. every night for a week. Already beyond exhaustion, Sherry knew she could not sleep for the next 48 hours. She also knew her coffee wasn't going to cut it — neither would the No-Doz nor the caffeine pills she'd been using. So she got her hands on some Dexedrin, crushed it into a fine powder and snorted it up her nose.
Some students such as Sherry (who asked that her real name not be revealed) use or have used prescription amphetamines easily accessible forms of speed to stay awake and alert beyond the normal limitations of the human body. Sherry, a junior
majoring in jewelry design, said she thought these students were a minority. But she pointed out that the issue could be larger than it seems; such means of staying awake are hush-hush, even in social circles.
"It isn't something we all talk about," Sherry said. "We don't go telling our friends, 'Hey, I'm coked up.'"
Dave Martin. Leawood junior,
said he thought most students
found other ways to cope with all-nighters.
"No-Doz is about the farthest extent I've heard people go," Martin said.
He said a student's approach to classes was the greater issue.
"You've got to be on top of your game." he said
For a theater major such as Martin, staying on top of the game might require a balance of
attending classes all day, rehearing roles from 7 p.m. to 2 a.m., five to six days a week, and even directing a production. Factor in the other aspects of a student's life, and it's easy to see how sleep deprivation — and the ways in which students cope — can become problems.
Or are they problems?
Kate, who also asked to remain unidentified, said she knows of amphetamine abuse with drugs such as Ritalin or Addall among architecture majors such as herself. She said she had a friend who ground caffeine pills into coffee and mixed it with Jolt, an ultra high-caffeine soda.
But she takes a much milder approach to dealing with the demands of project upon project.
"I've curled up under my desk before to take a nap on the floor," Kate said. "I think that was the lowest I've ever gone."
Ritalin Adderall Dexedrine No-Doz
Chemical name Methylphenidate HCL Amphetamine mixed salts Dextroampheta- mine sulfate Caffeine
Clinical use Treatment of Attention Deficit Disorders and Narcolepsy Treatment of Attention Deficit Disorders and Narcolepsy Treatment of Attention Deficit Disorders and Narcolepsy Over-the-counter
Abuse Used as a stimulant Used as a stimulant Used as a stimulant Used as a stimulant
Side effects Nervousness, insomnia and hypersensitivity Nervousness, insomnia and hypersensitivity Nervousness, insomnia and hypersensitivity Nervousness, insomnia and hypersensitivity
Kate isn't the least bit resentful of her sleepless nights and said they were preparation for the career she hoped to establish.
John Gaunt, dean of architecture and urban design, said burning the midnight oil was necessary to achieve the perfection the trade required.
"This is an age-old aspect of the architecture culture," Gaunt said. "You use the time available to the maximum."
"Real architects do it, so it just makes sense." Kate said.
Kyle Ramsey/KANSAS
"Amphetamines have been used by architecture students for many, many years," Gaunt said. "But it would surprise me if it's very widespread."
He also said that drug abuse was, unfortunately, just as much of a tradition.
dr. Dr. Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Health Center. Rock explained that the prescription drugs at hand often are prescribed for people with Attention Deficit Disorder or other stimulation disorders. When someone without ADD takes drugs such as Ritalin, the effect is similar to that of extremely high caffeine doses. The greatest danger lies in its interaction with other medications, as well as its effects on existing health conditions. Amphetamines also increase the heart rate, creating potential cardiac problems, he said.
Widespread or not, amphetamine abuse is risky business.
For students, more traditional means of maintaining alertness do not pose as great a health threat - though they are not without embarrassing side effects.
Tim Reed, Joplin, Mo., junior,
said one of his friends used loud
music and a lot of coffee to stay
awake for four days to finish an
architecture project on time.
"He fell asleep one day at Mrs. E's eating breakfast," Reed said. "An employee had to come over and wake him up."
But whether the coping mechanism is drinking coffee or snoring Dexedrine, sleep deprivation affects areas of life beyond the classroom. John Wade, psychologist at Counseling & Psychological Services said students who didn't have a grip on their sleeping schedules experienced more difficulty getting a grasp on their personal lives.

"It can exacerbate existing problems," Wade said. "Essentially, your emotional reserve gets denied."
Sherry found that out the hard way. She said she felt the need to adopt a more sedate lifestyle to better balance classes with her
Effects on the body:
Short-term effects of amphetamine use include:

social life.
"I'm managing my time a little better," Sherry said. "I'm not blowing Adderall anymore. I feel like I'm growing up."
Time-management seems to be the best way to prevent situations in which amphetamines become an issue in the first place. This can be a particular challenge for project-oriented majors — such as art, theater and architecture.
Gaunt said that, without turning to drugs, all-nighters can be a positive thing. He cites the core similarity among majors notorious for sleep deprivation.
"They're all creative endeavors," Gaunt said. "And creativity doesn't sleep."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 2). Your determination plus practice make your aspirations achievable. Want the home of your dreams? Start planning in November. A windfall leads to new possibilities in December. Learn how to do it yourself in January. The picture's not real yet by February, but you can see it clearly. Heed a partner's stern admonition in May. Find a buried treasure in June. Go further to get what you want in July. Your friends provide the inspiration you need in September.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
You may have thought an older person didn't like you, but you may be wrong. A person who's been quick to criticize really thinks you're doing a good job. Keep it up. You might get a promotion.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Don't put off until tomorrow what you could do today, even if your mate is giving you fits. Don't be dissuaded. You can see what needs to be done better than anybody else. If you hurry, you can get it done before they realize what you're doing.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 4.
Gemini (May 21st 2019) Today is 6:
An attractive person's in your life, but you don't have time for romance. Focus on a big job, instead. Chances of making costly mistakes are high. You might make a nice profit, but not if you have to do the job over.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
You're doing a good job and getting a lot of attention. Getting into a routine is hard when things are changing all the time. If anybody can do it, you can. Let others know how tough the job is, too — subtly, of course.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Loo May 25-Aug. 22) — Today is a 8.
You may feel burdened, but don't complain too much. The workload gets easier, as somebody pitches in to help. You may be watched, with a promotion in mind. Pretend what you're doing is easy, and it might get to be that way.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
Are you the teacher's pet? Love and education are linked now. Are you learning something interesting from a person whom you find attractive? Or, do you get to be the teacher? Either looks like fun. Let your enthusiasm show.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5.
You might feel like staying in bed all day, but you'd miss a big opportunity. You can provide a service to somebody who needs it, and that could mean more money in your pocket. Besides, you always feel better when you provide help.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
You're incredibly bright. You keep it to yourself, though. Nobody else knows how smart you are. Today, try learning something you thought was too hard. You might have underestimated your abilities.
Saaittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
Segittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
If you're going to ask for money, do it first thing. As the day goes on, you'll be interested in other things, like a puzzle to be solved, for example. That could keep you busy for a few days. Get the practical stuff out of the way early.

Aauarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 9.
You're looking great. Your friends are talking about you. That's why they're gigging. Don't worry; everything they're saying is good. Why not treat them to dinner? They'll love it, and so will you. Don't forget that one special friend of yours, of course.
You're up against tough competition, but don't complain. You knew the job was dangerous when you took it. A person you don't like much tells you what to do, again. Well, best to stifle. Pick a battle you can win. This isn't it.
LION
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is an 8.
You're lucky, good looking and you have a way with words. You know just what to say — and what not to say. Don't procrastinate. Move forward passionately toward your goal. Tomorrow you may not get this great a chance.

You've heard about HIV and AIDS on television, in newspapers, in school and everywhere else you turn. But have you heard of HHV-6? Charles Ortleb thinks you should.
entertainment briefs
KU alumnus publishes fictional book about AIDS
Orteb, a 1971 graduate of the University of Kansas, just published a new book, The Closing Argument, now available as an e-book at mightwords.com and which will be available in paperback through Amazon.com later this month.
His book covers the fictional trial of Christian King, a man charged with infecting a woman with HIV. King's attorney conveys a message Orteleb thinks more people should be aware of: AIDS is not really caused by HIV, but instead a virus called HIV-6. The attorney argues that AIDS is a racist coverup and is linked to Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
"It's an emotional issue. It is the biggest scandal of your generation," Ortleb said. "The media has tried to act as a public health order, but instead is helping the government cover up the big science mistake ever. The government isn't telling the truth. They are afraid of mass panic."
Ortleb has been involved with media coverage of the AIDS virus since the early 1980s. He worked as publisher of the New York Native, a gay weekly distributed in the New York City area.
The Closing Argument is Ortleb's third book. His first two, Iron Peter and The Last Lovers on Earth also are about AIDS.

The students were planning to petition Student Senate for funding, Starrett said, and were hoping to raise $7,000 by Nov 19.

Horseman arrested for intoxicated riding
LITTLE ROCK — There's DUI — driving under the influence. Now there's RUI — riding under the influence.
An Arkansas state trooper has been suspended for allegedly confusing the two after arresting a man in September for riding a horse while intoxicated.
Jeffrey Baldridge was charged with driving while intoxicated after the horse he was riding was struck by a car on U.S. 62, state police representative Tropper Donnie Belew said Tuesday.
But state police said Trooper Jana Cordes should not have charged Balrdridge, who has since filed a lawsuit alleging Cordes violated his civil rights.
State police, in a news release Monday, said the agency did not agree with her interpretation. The law, authorities said, only applies to motor vehicle drivers.
Cordes claims she relied on an old Arkansas law that she interpreted to apply to bicycles and animals on state highways, in addition to motor vehicles.
Cordes has been suspended with pay while the agency conducts an internal investigation. She could not be reached for comment by the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on Tuesday.
The lawsuit seeks punitive and compensatory damages and attorney fees. it claims Baldridge was unlawfully arrested and charged, and contends the horse was unlawfully impounded at a veterinarian's office.
Cab driver ticketed for baby on board
CHICAGO — Cabbies are rallying in support of one of their own who was ticked because a couple forgot their 3-yearson son in his taxi.
The boy, sound asleep in the carc

ie Arshad Aziz returned to O'Hare
International Airport from dropping off
the parents in suburban Highland Park.
The parents were busy unloading luggage and were confused about whether the husband or wife had the child, police said. No action was taken against the parents.
But Aziz was ticketed because a city ordinance requires cabbies to make sure the rear of their vehicles are cleared out after dropping off a passenger. He could face a fine of up to $100 at a Nov. 30 hearing.
"it's utterly ridiculous," said Anthony Contreras, a dispatcher with Aiz's cab company. "This guy is trying to make a living."
Conterras said about 50 people had called the company after reading about the incident in the newspapers.
Men pull 18-ton truck to create world record
A feat worthy of the Guinness Book of Records.
KENOSHA, Wis. — What do you get when you tie 20 able-bodied men to an 18-ton dump truck?
The teachers, factory workers, law enforcement officers and businessmen pulled the massive truck about 3.3 miles around a parking lot for an hour Sunday.
"I didn't know if we could do it," said Rhett Bobzien, owner of a local gym. "The longest we pulled nonstop during practice was a half hour."
Guinness officials, who set rules for the truck pull, said up to 20 people had one hour to pull the truck as far as they could.
No group had ever attempted the endeavor, so any distance would set a record. Guinness officials said.
The group will send photographs, a videotape, weight verification and a document signed by a local attorney to the Guinness record-keepers in London.
Most loyal Purdue fan attends 300th game
WEST LAFAYETTE, Ind. — Wendell Wolka hasn't missed a Boloemaker football game since before most of the team's players were born.
On Saturday, the 51-year-old Purdue engineering alumnus attended his 300th consecutive football game, making him the most faithful Purdue fan alive, according to the university's athletic relations department.
Wolka, who doesn't even live in West Lafayette, hasn't missed a game — home or away — since 1974.
Wolka doesn't know the cost of such loyalty.
The obsession has carried him more than 275,000 miles in more than 26 years and cost him untold amounts of cash for tickets, food and overnight stays.

Lifelike baby doll doesn't cry or scream
SOMERVILLE, Mass. — Chatty, amiable and perky, she's pushing the boundaries of artificial intelligence. But don't foretend to replace her batteries.
A ffm called iRobot Corp. has designed what may be the most lifelike doll ever to come off a computer bench: My Real Baby, which hit stores yesterday.
The $99 doll made by Hasbro Inc., weighing in at 3 pounds and arriving in a box with a rattle, diaper and bottle, is a high-tech heavyweight. While she may look like a run-of-the-mill plaything, what sets her apart from low-touch counterparts lies under the skin.
With two microprocessors for a brain,
the doll packs a megapunch of
computer power. The doll has circuitry that
makes different facial expressions and
programs that let her emulate 16
human emotions.
She can giggle, fuss, express boredom and surprise. Her speech can evolve from that of a 6-month-old to that of a 24-month-old. She wakes up and dozes off.
Kelley Ready, a professor of anthropology at Northeastern University, said the doll may be a little too lifelong.
"If this baby is just cooling and babbling all the time, and never crying and screaming, it could give children a distorted view of what it's like to take care of a real baby," Ready said.

Local Charlie's Angels look-alike shines in Hollywood

My best friend Mimi, who attends Marquette University in Milwaukee, accompanied me. Because we've been best friends since I was 5, and she loves Tom Green, Barrymore's boyfriend, she was my first choice. We arrived Saturday afternoon and had cocktails with my native Los Angeles friends in my swanky hotel room by 6 p.m. By 7:30 that night we were at my favorite bar on the Sunset Strip. Unfortunately, by 9 p.m. we were in the emergency room of Cedars Sinai hospital because one of my friends was suffering from severe alcohol poisoning.

The next day, I was with a TV crew from Inside Edition by 4 p.m. and had met the other two winners, Susan Marshall and Lise Lefevre, the respective Cameron Diaz and Lucy Liu look-a-likes. We had a blast while we did hokey poses for the camera and were interviewed. By 6:30 p.m., about 10 of us were in the biggest limousine I had ever seen, rolling down Hollywood Boulevard on our way to the pre-
People were everywhere. Fans watched from across the street behind barricades. We were escorted down the red carpet as bulbs flashed and photographers beckoned personalities to look their way. We passed all of the still photographers who asked us to pose, smile and imitate judo chops. Right in front of us, Patrick Fugit, the young star of Cameron Crowe's Almost Famous, was being eaten alive by the press — they loved him. Matt LeBlanc, who co-stars in the movie as Lucy Liu's beau, was standing next to us.
I expected him to be like Joey, his character on Friends, but he was reserved, and I didn't see him smile once.

So after the premiere I ran to the ladies' room. I was priming in the mirror when Mimi intervened and told me to pay attention. I stopped and heard a familiar voice. I couldn't believe it. I turned around and found myself in the middle of the ladies' room in the company of Drew Barrymore and Tom Green. She was talking with friends. Finally, she stopped talking and I happened to catch her eye. I spoke up, realizing this was my only chance. "Uh, hi ... I'm sorry — I just — well — I am your look-alike." Yeah, real smooth, Erin. She came running over to me. "You're beautiful!" was the first thing she said. "I was so excited to meet you. What's your name?
Where are you from?" She gave me a huge hug.
I couldn't believe it. Drew was so amazing. I can't even remember what I said because I just went on this babbling rampage commending her as tears streamed down my cheeks. She posed for some pictures, then excused herself to use the facilities. I then joined Mimi and Tom Green. He was quiet but funny. "Tom, you are in the ladies' room." Mimi mused. "Am I actually in the ladies room or am I just in the outskirts?" he asked. It was surreal.
Mimi and I waited for our limo to take us to the after-party at the Hollywood Athletic Club, where we were interviewed and photographed again. During my final interview with Inside Edition, I looked over to see Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner and three of his busty, blonde bombshell girlfriends standing right beside me.
So that was that. The next day it was back to Kansas — boring, flat, cold Kansas.
Parody of a parody: These Angels have style but lack substance
Erin Taggart is an Overland Park sophomore.

Kansan movie critic
By Clare McLellan
Three beautiful women sport revealing outfits while employing mad martial arts skills, all filmed using peeping Tom camera angles in first-time director McG's film version of the popular '70s TV show, Charlie's Angels.
I suppose I could end this review right here and not only have given an accurate and complete description of Charlie's Angels, but also enticed a majority of the male population to beeline-it to the closest theater tomorrow to see this piece of "female asset exploitation" cinema.
But for those whose cinematic tastes are a bit more difficult to satisfy, and in an attempt to fulfill my duties as a film critic, I will delve a bit deeper.
The plot is truly not worth mentioning — that's not why anyone is going to see this movie. Most people will see Charlie's Angels because:
b. ) They were a fan of the TV show.
a. ) They want to see Cameron Diaz, Drew Barrymore and Lucy Liu prince around in revealing clothes.
Review
d. ) They got a free pass (this was my reason).
In case,however,there is some poor
b.) They were a fan of the TV show.
c.) It's the movie their date wanted to see and he's buying.
soul dying to know what this movie's about: The Angels are after some stolen high-tech software and end up trying to save their heard-bulner-season boss, Charlie. To mod-up the film from the TV show, the girls exercise their Kung Fu talents on the bad guys instead of relying on guns.
Not that this film isn't enjoyable — it definitely has its moments of humor. Tom Green's cameo as "the Chad" (Drew Barrymore's pseudo-boyfriend) is amusing. And Cameron Diaz showcasing her killer "running man" and other outdated dance moves to "Baby Got Back" is one of the funniest scenes in the movie. In general, the three angels handle their parts devilishly well.
Some other actors make notable cameos in Angels, Crispin Glover, best known for his role as George McFly in Back to the Future, turns in an unsettling performance as The Thin Man—and is almost too creepy for the light-hearted mood of the film.
Unfortunately, someone let Matt LeBlanc off the set of *Friends* to play Lucy Liu's boyfriend, and, well, that guy just isn't much of an actor.
Bill Murray's supporting role as Bosley, the Angels' go-between to Charlie, doesn't make much sense for

his character. He's too big a star with too strong a presence to take the back seat in a movie like this.
When I say "a movie like this," here's what I mean: The original Charlie's Angels series worked because it made fun of itself — the ridiculous clothes, the perpetually perfect hair and makeup, and the basic concept of gorgeous girls fighting crime. Why do we need a movie to parody a parody? What is it trying to accomplish? It just doesn't make sense.
CARLOS ANDREAS MAYORAL
But hey, with a guy presumptuous enough to go by "McG" directing, who's accusing Charlie's Angels of trying to accomplish anything artistically?
And any movie coming in under two hours these days deserves credit in my book.
To anyone out there who may still doubt the purpose of this film: Cameron Diaz frolics about in a T-shirt and boy's Underoos for several minutes in one scene and wears a head-to-toe white body suit in another. Any questions?
Lucy Liu, Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore star in the film version of the 1970s television show Charlie's Angels. Bill Murray, Tom Green and Matt LeBlanc make guest appearances in the movie. Unlike the original show, the angels use Kung Fu instead of guns to battle eviloides. Contributed art

Women prefer personality with rippling muscles
In November's issue of Ironman magazine, Mr. Olympia John Hansen from 1998 was asked, "Is it easier for body builders to attract women because of their muscles or is it just a myth?"
Hansen answered, "If you're asking if women are attracted to guys with muscles, the answer is yes! If, however, you're asking if any bodybuilder can pick up women simply because he has muscles, the answer is obviously no."
There is a lot more to it than that.
I think, in general, women find muscles on men attractive, just as men find women who are in good shape and have a nice figure attractive. Most women respond very favorably to a guy with a ripped abdomen, a big chest, muscular arms and, of course, the all-important tight glutes.
After that initial attraction, however, bodybuilders need other qualities to impress the opposite sex. If they come across as too uptight, have no sense of humor and are constantly talking about themselves, they're bound to turn off any member of the opposite sex.
I'm no expert, but I've noticed that the bodybuilders who seem to do the best with the ladies have a great sense of humor, don't take themselves too seriously and have a lot of fun. They dress in fashionable clothes instead of wearing skintight shirts, and they look at their physiques as the icing on the cake instead of the whole meal.
Women who have never dated a bodybuilder may think of them as humorless, narcissistic and uncoordinated. If you can show a woman that you are intelligent, fun and interested in things other than your own body, you should have no problems getting a date.
I'd be interested in hearing from women on this topic. Do you find muscles on a bodybuilder attractive? What other qualities are important in a man? Send your answers to locnkey@hotmail.com and I'll print the responses in a future column.
Pilgrim is a Lawrence freshman and a KU Fit instructor.

Jamie Bell portrays Billy Elliot, an 11-year-old boxer who takes up ballet when the class is forced to practice in the gym he frequents. After his mother's death sends his family into turmoil, Billy unleashes his angst in his dancing. Contributed art
Billy a pleasant twist
By Ryan Dolan
Kansan movie critic
If you want a movie to send you home sparking an uncontrollable assault against the walls of your room, then don't see Billy Elliot.
From the producers of Notting Hill and Four Weddings and a Funeral, Billy Elliot reaches out to all the shower singers and car crooners to show them what it might have been like if they had taken their one-man concerts and newfangled MTV Grind moves and channeled them into a set of enviable skills.
Billy (Jamie Bell) is an 11-year old boxer who excels more at "floating like a butterfly" than "stinging like a bee." Billy's a tough, blue-collar kid who has a little more rhythm than the rest of us. All he needs is an outlet.
Billy tries to hide his newfound passion from his father (Gary Lewis) and brother, Tony (Jamie Draven), who are coal miners involved in a volatile labor strike. The recent death of Billy's mother ratchets up the tension in the Elliot home even more. The three men, who are taking care of Billy's aging grandma (Jean Haywood), don't know what to do with their grief.
When Mrs. Wilkinson's (Julie Walters) ballet class has to move into the Rialto Gym, where Billy trains, the music and the movement intrigues him. Billy takes his boxing allowance and pays for ballet classes from the tough Mrs. Wilkinson. A few days into it, Billy tells Mrs. Wilkinson, "I feel like a sissy." Mrs. Wilkinson retorts, "Well, don't act like one."
Since Billy can't seem to get answers to any of the adolescent and adult questions that barrage him daily, he expounds all his energy perfecting pirouettes.

The rocket could be his way into college and out of the coal mines. Nominated for Best Screenplay by the Writers Guild of America.
With Billy Elliot, director Stephen Daldry composes a triumph in his feature-film debut. Assisted by two accomplished British artists, director of photography, Brian Tufano (Trainspotting), and production designer, Maria Djurkovic (Sliding Doors). Daldry paints some stunning scenes without overshadowing the story. The most remarkable scenes are shot in the alleys around Billy's house, whether it involves a chase, a runway or a road to possibilities.
For tough guys, *Billy Elliot* is the perfect date movie. You can tell your friends that your girlfriend dragged you to it and save face. I'm not responsible, however, if you get caught in the bathroom attempting a 720-degree pirouette while crashing into the shower.

Band members balance school, music
Bv Kate McCartv
Special to the Kansan
The best advice Richard Gintowt, Palatine, Ill., sophomore, ever heard was to "follow your dreams but cover your ass" from Rick Valentin of punk-pop Poster Children.
That's what Gintowt and the other two member of the band Ghosty are trying to do.
Gintowt; Andrew Connor, Sioux Falls, S.D., sophomore; and Mark Hurst, Philadelphia, Pa., freshman; describe their style as "Ghosty music" — an original mix of sounds inspired by bands such as The Who, The Clash and Wilco.
Ghosty music is optimistic and upbeat, said Gintowt, the group's drummer.
"We are college rock — college being something different from mainstream music," Gintowt said. "We exist because of all the music we listen to — The Kinks, Elliott Smith, Red House Painters, Johnny Cash, Shudder to Think, The Flaming Lips, Radiohead — but we don't sound exactly like any of them.
"Mark listens to lots of hardcore music like God Head Silo, but we certainly don't play hardcore music."
Gintowt said the differences among the band's members gave
them a good chemistry when it came to making music.
"At any rate, I find myself humming the tunes all day long, so I assume they're pretty catchy," he said.
Connor, Ghosty's lead singer, guitarist and songwriter, said group members picked the band's name because they liked made-up words. It doesn't really mean anything, he said.
Gintowt and Connor started playing together last year when they met in the KU residence halls. Hurst joined the band at the beginning of the school year when he and Gintowt realized they had similar musical interests.
Gintowt said the band's energy level had risen since Hurst joined the band.
"Mark got to be in Ghosty because of his sparkling fashion sense," Gintowt said. "It's a mix between Elvis and Bruce Lee."
The band has played on campus and at a few parties. It will perform at 11 p.m. Monday at The Bottleneck, 737 New Hampshire St.
"We're trying to build a good base of listeners." Gintowt said.
The group first performed at The Bottleneck almost two weeks ago. The bar, nearly empty for most of the evening, filled with faithful Ghosty followers at 11 p.m.
Ghosty:
When: 11 p.m. Monday
Where: The Bottleneck, 737
New Hampshire St.
When: 11 p.m. Monday
Cost: $2,18 and older.
The three students practice a few times a week at Connor's house.
When balancing music and schoolwork, Gintowt said school had to come first, although the band was a close second. He said he was a perfectionist when it came to rehearsing and that the band played a song until it was right.
Hurst is Ghosty's bassist and self-proclaimed jugernaut.
"Music is my cure for catharsis." Hurst said.
Gintowt said the hardest part about starting a band was having to find a balance between school and music.
"Ideally, we wouldn't have to balance school and the band, and we could devote all our time to music," he said. "But making a living off of being in a band is a long shot at best, and that point is at least five years down the road. So now the challenge is to find a comfortable medium."
He also said that finding people who cared about the music was

hard.
"There's so much good music out today that it's hard to catch the ear even of people who really love music." Gintowt said. "The only way to succeed, unless you're Dynamite Hack and you score a big hit doing a dopey cover of a gangster rap song, is tenacity and dedication. That's why the most rewarding thing is having your hard work pay off when somebody tells you that they dig your stuff."

Liquid Soul brings acid jazz to Bottleneck
Liquid Soul has exploded onto the music scene from a small, underground street-jazz sound in Chicago.
By Debra Steele
The band plays at 11 p.m.
tonight at The Bottleneck, 737
New Hampshire St. Tickets are
$10.
Special to the Kansan
This will be the group's first time performing in Lawrence.
Bob Torongo, Chicago senior,
is a Liquid Soul Street Team
Member, which entails volunteer-
ing to put posters up around
Lawrence and spreading the
word about the group.
"I've been listening to them
for over a year." Torongo said.
"They have great vocals and an eclectic style. You never know what they're going to do next."
Liquid Soul is a 10-piece ensemble, and its trademark is acid jazz — a mixture of jazz and urban dance music.
The band formed in 1994 with saxophonist Mars Williams as the frontman. It found a home playing at Chicago's Elbo Rohm.
The band members claim to have been influenced by many jazz greats, including Miles Davis, Dizzy Gillespie and Bill Whiters.
Liquid soul includes trumpeters, saxophonists, bassists, drummers, trombonists, rap
pers and vocalists.
It was put into the spotlight after playing at Dennis Rodman's birthday party and opening for Sting.
It also has performed twice at the South by Southwest Music Festival, and the Austin American Statesman called Liquid Soul the "the single hottest showcase of the festival."
The band has released three albums. Its debut was self-titled, followed by Make Some Noise and Here's the Deal.
Liquid Soul, loyal to its hometown fans, plays every Sunday at Chicago's Double Door Club.
An associated press writer

Other worthy candidates exist
By Chris Hopkins
Kansan online editor
Last week, I wrote about the Web presence of the major presidential candidates. Since then, I've decided I don't want to vote for either of them. Bush is an idiot riding his papy's coattails. Gore is more concerned with raising funds than standards. We need someone who will be responsible. Someone who cares.
Someone like Duke.
The former and ambassador and Hunter S. Thompson knockoff of Doonesbury fame is running a serious cybercampaign at wwwentertaindom.com/pages/d
uke2000/home.jsp. He promises to regulate marijuana and protect the small family farmers. His site has all kinds of multimedia and video and is just snazzy-looking in general. If he can run a nation like he can run
a Web site, he's got my vote.
Or maybe we need someone like Mr. T. I pity the fool who votes for the monopolistic two-party system. His Web site, www.geocities.com/Hollywood/Mansion/3141/, is at the other end of the quality spectrum, having been picked as on of the worst of the Web. But with a man like T, how could you go wrong?
There are so many candidates you never hear about because all the liberal media feed you is Gush and Bore, Nuchanan and Bader. There's also, however, Diamond

Then there's Frank Delaware. When you go to his site, www.frankdelaware.com, you
can vote for which party he should run with and who should be his vice president.
Joe Quimby, Barbie and Dave Barry, not to mention a whole slew of Star Wars characters running for president.

think Nobody should be president. Think about all the ills Nobody has cured, and all the good Nobody could do.

There are sites to back me up,
too. One, www.nobodyforpresident.net, contains a lengthy biography of Nobody. Another,
www.nobodyforpresident.org, has a history of Nobody's campaigning all the way back to 1974. Can any of the other candidates claim to have that kind of experience?
Kansan theater critic
By Amy E. Cummins
Driving was the only thing L'il Bit's family ever realistically explained to her. And Uncle Peck, who taught L'il Bit all she knows about safe driving, abused her since she was 11 years old.
Learning to drive serves as a metaphor for sexual initiation. This message is clear from the play's careful staging, set and the slides projected on a screen — the work of scenic designer Katy Seng.
One surprising part of the play is the depiction of the abuser as a human being, not just a conventional villain. In several scenes, Uncle Peck seems to have redeeming qualities, although the audience also knows the predator is victimizing his young niece. Uncle
Durham directs an excellent cast in this innovative play, which won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1997. The play features Sandi Bailey, graduate student, as L'il Bit; and Josh Meyer, Overland Park senior, as Peck. Beck Lake, Stilwell senior; Brad Danier, Lawrence junior; and Nancy Wilcox, Lawrence senior; play the Greek Chorus and reveal Li'l Bit's family background.
Profoundly disturbing issues such as these are addressed in the Inge Theatre production of Paula Vogel's play, How I Learned to Drive, directed by Leslie Atkins Durham, lecturer in the 'theater and film department.
The drama deals with L'il Bit's survival of sexual molestation, but despite its serious themes, the scatological humor and honest dialogue still inspire uneasy laughter among some audience members. The play also exposes how American society sometimes reduces women to their sexuality.
Review
Peck teaches L'il Bit to drive and encourages her college aspirations, meanwhile damaging her psychological and physical development. Tragically, L'il Bit is made to feel unjustly responsible for the abuse.
Viewers of this play cannot always agree on whether L'il Bit is a victim of rape in the play. But, by the end, she is able to assess her experience and to move forward in her life, determined to survive.
Because of the complicated portrayal of sexual abuse, talk-back sessions are conducted after every performance. Counselors and specialists from KU Counseling and Psychological Services, the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, the Rape Victim-Survivor Service and the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center are there to talk to viewers.
How I Learned to Drive is rarely performed by a university-affiliated theater. Several audience members and seasoned theatergoers at last Saturday's performance stated that Durham's production was superior to other performances they have seen of Vogel's work.
How I Learned to Drive, one of two paired plays titled "The Mammary Plays," was the most produced play in 1998 in the United States.
Vogel's success has been an inspiration to many aspiring writers and artists. As a lesbian from a working-class background, Vogel faced many challenges before earning the Pulitzer Prize in 1997.
How I Learned to Drive will be performed through this Saturday in the Inge Theatre. A few tickets still are available at the Murphy Hall Box Office (864-3982).

And if that isn't enough evidence that Fred Durst is unstable, listen to the music. Limp Bokit's third release is about as bipolar as an album can get.
Limp Bizkit — Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water
What a dumb album title.
Simply put, moments of brilliance punctuate a disc otherwise loaded with somophoric idocy.
While the group's second album, Significant Other, stood head and shoulders above the group's 1997 debut, Chocolate Starfish shows little sign of
progress. Drum obviously copied the formula for method he employed with Significant Other. Method Man and Stone Temple Pilots frontman Scott Welland once again have guest spots on the album.
And apparently, the formula for success worked; the album sold more than one million albums in its first week of release, stealing Pearl Jam's record.
A barrage of expletives greet the listener on "Hot Dog," in which Durst unloads the fword more than 50 times, has the gall to plagiarize from Nine Inch Nails "Closer." Come on, any pimply teen with a sailor's mouth can write a song like this.
Thankfully, Fred's band mates and a few guests balance out Durst's mania, Guitarist Wes Barden's riffs are the best they've ever been. DMX and Method Man jam on "Rollin" and "Getcha Groove On." But it's Welland who steals the show with his guest shot on "Hold On," by far the most serene track — and the best.
Durst is at his dumbbest when he regresses into potty-mouthed, high-pitched sing-song mode; unfortunately, he uses it liberally on Chocolate Starfish. When he's slightly more sedated, the music benefits significantly.

Burning Spear — Calling Rastafari
Chris Borniger
One of regge's best qualities is the ability to deliver strong messages in a easy, palatable manner. Burning Spear has a few things to say in his newest album, *Calling Rastafari*, and with his deliv
ery, his message goes down smooth
The album is a fine mix of easylistening tunes, praise songs and political statements. Burning Spear has done well to infuse the music with energy and spirit.
mostly concern the situation of Jamaicans in the United States. He larments, "So many different nationalities have been there too/ Never been treated like we do," in "Statue of Liberty." Along with the track, "Sons of He," Burning Spear speaks strongly about the poor treatment of African people in the United States, but the approach is never heavy handed.
One of the lighter tunes is "You Want Me To," a love song. For guys, it would be perfect to play at a romantic moment — it's about caring for that special girl and taking her on a dream vacation.
Calling Rastafari is also, obviously, devoted to Rastafarian faith. Although people listening to this music may not be Rastafarian, those songs still are enjoyable. The album won this year's Grammy in the reggae category. Check it out.

Sailing
Mark Knopfler to Philadelphia
Rock 'n' roll is typically thought of as a young man's occupation. Teen angst, wild rebellion, sex and drugs are the accouterments of the young, wrist rock 'n' roller. When a successful musician approaches middle age, he or she is usually presented with a dilemma.
Half-hearted performances in half-filled arenas overseas only hasten the musician's half-life. Many will be lumped together with other has-beens of the same ilk, all for some local classic radio station the 15th birthday celebration. Then there are those rare cases in which a musician will prove himself
resourceful and simply stick around for awhile.
X
Such is the plight of former Dire Straits frontman Mark Knoppler.
After bursting onto the scene in 1977, he established his reputation in the music industry. He created costar Diana Sibula albums.
The popular rock band eventually passed through its own dire straits, but Knopfler changed gears and set off in a new direction.
As a songwriter, he diversified his sound. Sailing to Philadelphia is his first solo album since 1996's critically acclaimed Golden Ballerina. It was the original sound set within a fresh musical context.
Sailing to Philadelphia has a nostalgic feel, and most of the songs draw on Knopffer's sensitive side. No longer a sultan of swing, Knopffer still knows how to have a rollicking good time and shows no signs of slowing down.
if one does purchase this new release, it cernaink won't be money for nothing.

Med center reps say clinic's move possible
By Melissa Davis
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Public relations representatives for the University of Kansas Medical Center acknowledged yesterday that its primary care clinics could move from their current locations. They denied, however, suggestions by several Med Center employees that the clinics would move to Johnson County.
Gary Bachman, assistant professor of family medicine, and another professor, who requested anonymity for fear of losing his job, said earlier this week they had been notified by hospital administration about a potential move of the family medicine and obstetrics and gynecology clinics away from Wyandotte County.
The clinics are housed at the Med Center in Kansas City, Kan., and could be moved because the center is bringing in a cardiac transplant team from St. Luke's Health System of Kansas City, Mo.
Bachman said he was concerned that a move away from the Med Center would hurt the Med
Center's credibility, students and patients. He said patients from Wyandotte County — who make up the majority of the Med Center's clients — would be harmed by the move since many rely on public transportation and wouldn't be able to get to Johnson County.
But Dennis McCulloch, director of public relations for the Med Center, said there had been no final discussions about where or if the clinics would be moved. He echoed a statement made Wednesday by Mary Ball, vice president of public relations and marketing, about rumors of the move being false.
"We were saying yesterday it was not true," McCulloch said. "We are saving today it's not true."
He said that although the Med Center was bringing in a cardiac transplant team, it was unclear where the team would be placed. But the family medicine and obstetrics and gynecology clinics certainly will not be moved to Johnson County, he said.
"It was never an option not to be in Wyandotte County," he said.
Lynn Bretz, interim director for University Relations, declined to comment yesterday. Chancellor Robert Hemenway could not be reached for comment, and Donald Hagen, executive vice chancellor, did not return phone calls.
Chris Hansen, vice president for ambulatory service at the Med Center, could not be reached for comment yesterday but said in a written statement that it was regretful that inaccurate and incomplete information from a few sources had given rise to unjustified concerns about family medicine at the Med Center.
"KU Med is always reviewing space allocations throughout the hospital in order to meet patient care needs," he said. "Both the hospital and the University are discussing with family medicine physicians ways to broaden their reach and patient base. These have only been preliminary discussions, and no decisions have been made."
Hansen added that the Med Center was committed to the needs of the community, family medicine and primary care, and its students and resident physicians.

Photographs of Democratic presidential candidate Al Gore with Topeka anti-gay rights activist Fred Phelps are circulating via email, but some say the photos are likely just a late campaign-season tactic to smear Gore.
The photos show the vice president with Phelps at a 1988 fundraising campaign at his son's home in Topeka. Phelps said he was a registered Democrat and supported Gore in his 1988 bid for the Democratic presidential nomination, but no longer did because Gore now supported gay rights.
"He told me personally he was opposed to the homosexual agenda on strong Bible grounds," Phelps said. "He was very articulate in opposing gay rights, and now he's the poster boy for gay rights. He's just about spun on a dime."

Convention, said about 200 people including former Gov. Joan Finney and Secretary of Agriculture Dan Glickman, attended the fund-raising campaign where the pictures were taken.
He also said that his family and members of his Westboro Baptist Church provided accommodations for 15 to 20 of Gore's campaign workers in the summer of 1988.
Burdett Loomis, professor of political science, said he didn't think the photos were a big deal, given the context.
"This is before his serious, off-the-deep-end, gay-bashing days," Loomis said. "Joan Finney is in the photo, so clearly she considered him at least vaguely acceptable."
He said the circulation of the photos was more interesting than the photos themselves.
"They're doing it without attribution to trash Gore," Loomis
said.
Michael Young, KU Young Democrats vice president, said Gore's connection with Phelps would not influence his support for Gore.
"I do not believe that this allegation, if found to be true, makes an impact now because I don't believe it's true in the year 2000," he said. "I'd be surprised, but if it was true, then people are allowed

Napster devours bandwidth breaks law, KU officials say
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Jason Krahl
While the popular program does have some valuable educational uses, especially transferring noncopyrighted material for study in the School of Music, most Napster users don't abide by federal laws governing the transfer of copyrighted material, said Marilu Goodyear, vice chancellor for information services.
Napster is by far the largest contributor to the bandwidth shortage in student housing networks, KU officials say.
Many who download copyrighted music off Napster and similar services are in violation of the federal No Electronic Theft (NET) Act of 1997. The act makes it a criminal offense to reproduce or distribute copyrighted material worth more than $1,000 retail value. While some older music is
Napster allows users to download free music in MP3 files directly from one another's hard drives.
no longer copyrighted because of its age, most new, popular music that students download is copyrighted, Goodyear said.
But in September, Oklahoma State University made headlines when campus police there seized a student's computer and accused him of distributing copyrighted music.
"Our focus is on state law and city ordinances," he said. "When you start getting into federal statutes, it becomes somebody else's ball game."
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said the office had not investigated students distributing music through Napster because federal agencies such as the FBI were responsible for enforcing the laws of the NET Act.
The law likely will not be enforced until law enforcement agencies feel pressure from the recording industry, Goodyear said. But violators face up to three years in prison for a first offense.
A number of colleges and universities have banned Napster, some using firewall systems to block its use. Kansas State University banned the program last year. A survey by the Gartner Group research firm earlier this year found that 34 percent of colleges and universities have

see the University limit Internet downloads and other high bandwidth uses than charge some students more. She said that she used the service only occasionally and that students in her residence hall might be divided on the two ideas.
"I think it's about fifty-fifty," she said. "Some would be upset about having to pay more, and some will be upset that they can't download all the music they want."

Officials try to limit residents from excessive downloading
Internet fee still under question
By Jason Krall
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Limiting Internet use and charging students extra for excessive downloading are on a list of ideas for curbing the increasing costs of Internet access in campus housing after the Student Housing
Advisory Board rejected a plan to raise Internet fees last month.
The board voted unanimously against charging students a $37 fee per semester if their hall is scheduled for rewiring of their building's computer network. McCollum and Oliver halls would have received upgrades first under the proposal.
Internet connections in campus housing have doubled in cost this year — to $90 — as the University attempts to keep up with the cost of heavy Internet use from Napster and other digital music services. Administrators still are considering an increase in the access fee, which could bring it to about $120.
The entire proposal would have cost about $2.5 million, said Michael Hevel, president of the Association of University Residence Halls and a voting member of the advisory board.
"It doesn't solve the problem." Hevel said. "We were voting to have people pay $2.5 million, but it wasn't a full plan."
"At this point, we're just asking students to be aware that this is not an unlimited resource."
Marilu Goodyear vice chancellor for information services
The ResNet Advisory Board, which oversees Internet connections in student housing, will prepare a new proposal.
Now, administrators are considering other options to keep the high cost of heavy Internet use in residence halls, Jayhawker Towers, Stouffer Place and scholarship halls from being passed on to students who use their connections moderately or very little.
Bills to the University from Internet service providers Sprint Co. and Qwest, Inc. continue to grow, thanks in large part to massive downloads from Internet music outlets such as Napster, said Marilu Goodyear, vice chancellor for information services.
One idea is to cap the bandwidth available to students so that if too much of it is being used, connections will slow and eventually stop. Goodyear said. In another scenario, students who perform large downloads would be identified as "super-users," and charged an additional fee for their use.
"At this point, we're just asking students to be aware that this is not an unlimited resource," she said.

Inmate's lawyer admits to sabotaging appeals
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — A lawyer for a death row inmate admitted sabotaging his client's appeals because he didn't like the man and thought he ought to be executed.
The disclosure came Wednesday in the case of 34-year-old Russell Tucker, who is scheduled to die Thursday, Dec. 7 for the 1994 murder of a security guard.
C-coounsel Steven Allen said he hoped that the bar considered Smith's "stellar record." He spent more than 20 years as a prosecutor and has been in private practice since 1997.
A remorseful David B. Smith said he caused his co-counsel to miss a key state Supreme Court deadline for filing one of Tucker's appeals.
Millionaire sentenced to two life-prison terms
"I consider him a very courageous person," Allen said. "He came forward and did something very few people would do."
SAN ANTONIO — A millionaire businessman was sentenced yesterday to life in prison for arranging the murder of his ex-wife while she was home with her toddler quadruplets.
U. S. District Judge Edward C. Prado gave Allen Blackthorne two life prison terms, fined him $250,000 and ordered him to pay $17,000 restitution for his role in the death of Sheila Bellush. She was shot and her throat was slit in her Sarasota, Fla., home in 1997.
After the killing, two of Bellush's 2 year-old quadruplets by her second husband were found crawling in her blood. Blackthorne has maintained his innocence.
Blackthorne made his fortune selling medical devices. His Vancouver, Wash.,based business, International Rehabilitative Sciences,sells muscle stimulators under the name RS Medical.
Republicans vow to stay to continue budget battle
WASHINGTON — House Republicans, their majority status seriously at stake in Tuesday's elections, have vowed to stay at their posts for at least a few more days to continue their budget battle with President Bill Clinton.

Body identification begins for victims of plane crash
TAIPEI, Taiwan — Sobbing and holding onto one another, relatives of Singapore Airlines crash victims yesterday began the grim process of identifying the bodies of the 81 people killed, including at least 23 Americans.

Truce delayed after bomb kills two
JERUSALEM — A thunderous car bomb killed two Israelis near a crowded Jerusalem market yesterday, escalating tensions as Israeli and Palestinian leaders put off a truce announcement meant to end five weeks of fighting.
The Associated Press
Islamic militants claimed responsibility for the blast, which killed the daughter of a right-wing Israeli political leader. Elsewhere, Palestinian areas were again aflame, with two Palestinians killed and at least 80 injured in the West Bank, doctors and rescue workers said.
The violence endangered - and may have scuttled - the latest in a series of cease-fire agreements.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak and Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat initially planned to simultaneously declare a truce at 2 p.m.
But shortly after 3 p.m., a Mazda car loaded with explosives detonated on a narrow residential street less than 200 yards from the congested Mahane Yehuda market.
Flames leaped high into the air, sending up huge black plumes of black smoke as wailing ambulances converged on the working-class area lined with old stone apartment buildings. Eleven people — including four children — were slightly injured in addition to the two killed.
One of the deceased, Ayelet Hashahar-Levy, was the daughter of Yitzhak Levy, leader of the National Religious Party. Yitzhak Levy has served as a minister in several Israeli governments. He left his post in Barak's government because of disagreements concerning the peace process.
His daughter had just moved to Jerusalem and was bringing her belongings to a house in the area at the time of the explosion, police said. One witness said he tried to pull her from the flames.
"I saw her on the ground and her legs had been blown off," Yaakov Hassoum said. "I hoped she was alive, but she was dead."
Hundreds of onlookers clogged the streets as policemen pushed the crowd back. Some young Israelis chanted, "Death to Arabs" and "We want revenge."
A group calling itself the military wing of the Islamic Jihad claimed responsibility for the attack. In a statement, the group said the bombing was carried out "in reply to the enemy's crimes against our Palestinian people" and promised more attacks.
However, neither Barak nor Arafat appeared ready to formally announce the truce last night.
Israel said it was standing by the truce reached Wednesday night in a meeting between Arafat and Israeli elder statesman Shimon Peres. The agreement was intended to stop the fighting and open the borders of closed-off Palestinian areas.
The Palestinian leadership issued a statement yesterday urging Palestinians to "stick to peaceful means" in protests, but it fell well short of what Israel expected. Arafat, who met in Gaza with the European Union peace envoy, Miguel Moratinos, said the ball was in the Israeli court.
"We are still waiting for the official response of the Israeli government, especially after we had declared our statement by the name of the Palestinian leadership," Arafat said.

Week offers opportunities for nontrads
By Laita Schutes
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
KU officials hope the first National Nontraditional Student Week will shine a spotlight on a group of students who may often feel alienated or campus.
The Association of Nontraditional Students in Higher Education and a number of other national organizations have designated next Monday through Friday Nontraditional Student Week. Campus organizations will recognize the event with various activities at the Kansas Union.
"We appreciate the chance to highlight this group of students who may often feel invisible on campus," said Laura Morgan, assistant director of the Student Development Center.
But despite their low profile, Morgan said non-traditional students compromised at least 19 percent of the student body — a total of about 3,742 students.
Because of marriage, age, children or commutes, they faced different challenges than the typical student. Morgan said.
She said that she hoped workshops and discussions throughout the week would provide such students with information about resumes and careers, writing skills and the Internet.
Discussions on nontraditional student issues, a meet-a-professor event and program about Student Union Activities for nontraditional students will also take place.
The week will end with free chili and bowling from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m. Friday at the Jaybowl.
Deena Hardie, nontraditional student senator and Lawrence senior, said that the chili feed would be a way for students to meet each other and exchange tips on how to juggle their busy lives.
"I think most nontrads on campus don't realize there's a lot of people out there just like them," she said
But he said many students did not feel the same, and the week's events would help them succeed in and after college.
Michael Roessler, a former nontraditional student who became a graduate student during the summer, said he felt plugged in to the student body through his participation in Student Senate and as president of KU Non-Trads.
The University of Kansas has recognized nontraditional students with awareness days in the past, Morgan said, but next week will be the first national event for the students.

At first glance, Mariatu Kargbo and Sia Kallie seem just like other children. They're not.
The two girls are victims of Sierra Leone's civil war. Rebel forces there have made a practice of cutting off civilians' hands in the western African nation.
Kargbo, 14, has had both of her hands amputated, and Kallie, 12, had her hand and arm bones stretched and exposed two years ago. She never healed.
Feed My Lambs International, a relief and development organization based in Raymore, Mo., brought Kargbo and Kallie to the United States three weeks ago.
Kallie had her first surgery Tuesday.
Rahle had her first surgery Tuesday. The African and African-American students department and Olivia Ceesay, Sierra Leone native and graduate student, presented a seminar yesterday on the civil war.
"Victims have had their arms, legs and ears chopped off," Ceesay said. "These victims are not people in the war front, but ordinary civilians whose towns and villages were raided by rebels."
She said international intervention was needed to end the atrocities.
"The people anticipated active U.N. involvement like the NATO involvement in Bosnia," Ceesay said. "They need both domestic and international assistance in achieving this goal."
Lonny Houk, Lambs member, said he and his wife hoped to keep the girls here permanently and put them through school. He said that most of the survivors were children.
"They heal faster." he said.
The civil war has created a mass or orphans living in the streets or in amputee camps, where Kargbo and Kallie lived for two years before coming to the United States.
"We neglect this issue here." Houk said. "Maybe because we are more interested in Harry Potter."
Debate team seeks another season worthy of bragging
- Edited by John Audlehelm
By Nathan Dayani
Special to the Kansas
Last year, the team finished the season ranked No. 5 in the country. This year, the team is ranked No.25 in the country.
The University of Kansas' tradition in college basketball is well-known, but the KU debate team has had a similar tradition of bragging rights.
"Last year, we graduated a large senior class after having one of the top teams in the country for the last couple of years." he said.
Scott Harris, assistant specialist of communications studies and the debate team's head coach, said this year's KU debate squad was younger and more inexperienced than teams in previous years when the University had some of the top teams in collegiate debate.
Harris said this would be a rebuilding year with only freshmen and sophomore debaters. However, he remains optimistic. He said he thought the 14-member team was committed, hard working and improving.
"We have a very talented group of young debaters, but it takes some time to adjust to college debate," he said.
Harris is enjoying this year's debate season, which began in late September and will end in late March. He said his perspective had changed a bit this year.
"When you have one of the top three teams in the country and you go to every tournament expecting to win, when you lose a tournament in the semifinals or quarterfinals, you go home upset," he said.
"Now every round that you win is exciting as you watch people learn and grow with the experience. It's an opportunity to get excited about each small victory."
Despite the transitional period, the debaters have remained successful.
After this fall's first tournament, at least one KU team advanced to elimination rounds in subsequent tournaments. Recently the squad advanced three teams to semifinals at the Southwest Missouri State tournament. The team competes this weekend at the University of Central Oklahoma.
Roger Saad, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, is one of the veteran debaters. He said he thought one of the squad's greatest attributes was its coaching staff.
"We have some unbelievable coaches," he said.
Along with Harris' success as a coach, the assistant coaches were great debaters in their collegiate careers, Saad said. One of the assistant coaches, Rich McCollum, a graduate research assistant, previously won the Cross Examination Debate Association national tournament.
Like Harris, Saad thinks this season has been a good learning experience and also is optimistic about the future and strengths of the squad.
"We have one of the best, if not the best, coaching staffs in the country," he said. "Our team is young, but we have a lot of talent and people who want to work, and that's a winning combination."

Coverage leaves out third party
Madison Square Garden sold out Oct. 13.Eddie Vedder, Ali DiFranco,Ben Harper,Patti Smith and even Tim
-- harper, Patti Smith and even Tim Robbins -- who can apparently carry a tune -- played to a maximum-capacity, celebrity-studied crowd. The reason? It was a benefit for the Green Party. More than 15,000 people paid an entrance donation of $20 to hear Ralph Nader, that most unlikely of pop icons, stump for democracy of, for and by the people, not monied interests. Talk about rocking the vote.
Did you hear about this gala event? Neither did I, until a friend of mine told me of her frustrations in trying to find media coverage of the rally after attending it.
Apparently few of the major New York papers saw fit to devote much copy to the event. After much searching, she finally managed to find a blurb on Reuters, which would arguably cover your sweet 16 with the proper press releases.
Ramona DeNies columnist opinion@kansan.com

I hope you also heard of Nader's forced exit by three armed bodyguards from viewing the televised debates at Wake Forest University as a ticket-holding audience member. Or did you not hear that bit of trivia? Funny, given that such over-publicized trivia is Bush's micro-uni
of certain polysyllabic words makes for heated dinner conversation across America.
Which brings us to a particularly sad state of affairs in American political coverage. When, exactly, does it make sense to forswar on devoting press to the campaigns of third-party candidates? Certainly it didn't in '92, when Ross Perot wagged his fingers at Clinton and Bush on millions of American television screens and went on to win 19 percent of the popular vote.
Apparently such a major whiteout of news today must make sense to somebody somewhere. As Nader continues to grow in popularity, coverage of Green Party events continues to be minimal. Crucial news providers such as the New York Times, the Washington Post, CNN and NBC have proven terribly negligent in covering even the highlights of Nader's campaign.
What motives could exist to compel America's cherished free press to whittle down their campaign coverage to promote an almost exclusively bipartisan campaign? Perhaps we see a glimmer of motive in the events of '92. A wild card such as Perot taking 19 percent of the vote sure makes a mockery of the American electoral system, right? After all, real politicians use bar graphs, not pie charts.
And oh, those elephant ears ... Perhaps these mainstream media players decided upon strategic simplification of the political process to appeal to a public baffled by policy. After all, airbrushing worked for your grandmother's senior portrait, didn't it? Or could such self-censorship of mainstream media possibly be due to pressure from powerful political and economic interest groups — groups invested in a future involving one or either of the major-party candidates?
A calculated result of the lack of coverage on Nader is, of course, the public's potential dismissal of the candidate as a valid option.
But the turnouts for Green Party super-rallies prove another reality — one in which Nader is very much a valid voting option, despite wilful ignorance by major news providers. Merely five days after addressing a capacity crowd at Madison Square Garden, Nader spoke again to an exuberant audience of more than 5,000 in Austin, Tex.
Similar rallies have taken place in Seattle, Chicago, Boston, Minneapolis, Dallas and San Francisco, among other cities. The Madison Square Gardens rally — the largest turnout yet for any Election 2000 campaign event regardless of candidate — was organized just two weeks prior to the event.
such an immediate response — given the minimal press and choreographing — indicates the undeniable emergence of a voting bloc motivated beyond convenience and ease in accessing information. And that in itself is a most newsworthy trend in America today.

"Now for God's sake!" the boards, syndicates, multinational corporations and their apologists will say, "your'e infringing on our right to freedom of speech." But just whose rights would be infringed? Will Coke be oppressed? Will Nike be oppressed? Just who is Coke? Who is Nike? Can
I meet them? Can I shake their hands? No, I cannot. This is because they are not human beings. They are business arrangements.
No one is suggesting that the actual people who run these businesses not be allowed to vote, or even to submit moderate amounts of money to political campaigns. No one is trying to make them less than equal. Rather, the McCain-Feingold bill, which would ban the unlimited, unregulated donations to political parties known as soft money, would simply prevent them from being more equal than the rest of us.
Are you tired of feeling like everyone with any power is looking to pigeon hole you into a product market so that you can be bought and sold? Campaign finance reform can help.
One must understand that this inequality pervades every political arena. Are you a parent who feels powerless against the onslaught of human degradation and swill put upon us by the entertainment industry, an industry loathe to take responsibility and that only wants your dollars? Campaign finance reform can help.
Are you tired of watching as the Great Economic Engine of Progress sells the earth from under yourself and your grandchildren forever? Campaign finance reform can help.
I have come to believe that initiatives like the McCain-Feingold bill are all that matters in our democracy right now. They are a fundamental step in ensuring our government is truly for the people.
Remember, corporations exist only to make money. They are not your mother or grandfather or even benevolent dictators.

DA's decision magnifies victim's plight
Sexual assault victim's trauma was reinforced by decision not to file charges
The local District Attorney's office last week decided not to file charges of sexual assault against the two KU football players on the grounds of lack of sufficient evidence. Case closed.
However, it is unlikely that the closing of the case has provided closure for anyone, except perhaps for the accused and the KU Athletics Department.
Though not able to sustain the filing of official charges, certain facts in the case raise questions about the innocence of the two football players.
One puzzling aspect of the case is the fact that Coach Terry Allen punished his players, however lenient the punishment may have been. Allen must have thought his players were indeed guilty of something if he felt they deserved some sort of punishment.
Since the allegations were of sexual assault, one could reach the conclusion that the action worthy of punishment was indeed sexual assault.
According to the DA's office, the time lapse between the alleged crime and when it was reported to the police are the main reasons for the lack of sufficient evidence. It is true that in cases of sexual assault, the victim has the greatest chance for justice if he or she reports to the police immediately. But if victims of sexual assault know beforehand that they are more likely to face character assassination than their aggressors are to face punishment, more cases will go unreported, and more aggressors will escape punishment.
This case has set another such precedent.
Though the decision is final, the district attorney should have pushed for a different outcome. Not only has one woman been disregarded after putting herself on the line for justice, two "alleged" sexual predators have gone free.

Letters to the editor
Voters have other options
I was a bit horrified to read Karen Boyd's recent article, "Vote 'none of the above' in race for the presidency."
Ms. Boyd briefly lists four candidates running for office, and then bemoans her fate at having such a poor selection to choose from. These are the only people running for president! For those voters who can't find anything they like about Bush, Gore, Nader or Buchanan, there are plenty more to choose from. The other main candidates are Harry Browne (Libertarian Party), John Hagelin (Natural Law Party), David McKeynolds (Socialist Party) and Howard Phillips (Constitution Party). A brief Internet search will yield dozens of sites that list and analyze the views of these candidate
Of course, there is no way we can know if Ms. Boyd would consider any of these candidates worthy of being president. She hasn't really said what it is that makes a good president, except to say that "rich boys" are definitely out. Well, middle-class presidential candidates are pretty hard to come by these days; even Ralph Nader is a multi millionaire. If you're going to vote, you'll have to vote on the issues, not on the candidate's economic status.
Being a good American doesn't just mean watching the presidential debates between Republicans and Democrats and talking to the Green Party tables on campus. If you are disenchanted with the candidates you see, look beyond the mainstream choices offered to us. Voting "none of the above" out of disgust is the only sure way to throw away your vote.

Med Center employee clarifies statements in Thursday article
Some clarification and corrections are due regarding yesterday's article about the clinics at the Med Center. If I said that the resident physicians had been kept in the dark about the proposed move, I misspoke. The residency faculty and apparently the medical school's administration as well had been kept in the dark about this plan. In fact, many of the resident physicians had heard of the proposal within hours of the time their faculty had learned of it.
And while this came up at a potentially difficult time for recruiting new residents, there has been no consideration of keeping this information from those applicants. Our challenge in communication to our staff and students is that something is happening about which we have been offered remarkably little opportunity to participate in or reliable information to base our actions upon. I suspect that the disclosure of this poorly planned and executed act by hospital administration may in the long run benefit the primary care residencies by focusing attention on their importance and value to the future health of the people of Kansas. University administration seems to be responding appropriately, and a number of state legislators have also taken up the cause.
As established by the state legislature, there is a clear division of responsibility and accountability between the medical school and the hospital. The past week's remarkable set of events seemed to grow out at least some measure of misunderstanding and miscommunication of missions.
While it remains unclear about when and where the clinics will relocate, it appears that the hospital is, this week anyway, now working with the school to find appropriate space for continued primary care operations somewhere on the campus of the medical center. Handled intelligently, such a move could certainly benefit the provision of primary health care education at the Medical Center.

Kline's campaign too invasive
Phill Kline has successfully taken political advertising to a new low. Not content to merely mudsling in radio and TV ads, he now has apparently sunk to combining the annoyances of telemarketing and political advertisements. I've received two telephone calls in the last two days, both being "important messages about Dennis Moore." The ensuing telephone calls have been nothing but a rehash of Mr. Kline's mudslinging ads. I am offended that a person running for office would utilize this method of "advertising." It's one thing to have to hear these messages on TV or radio; it's quite another to force the electorate to hear them via their telephone.
Mr. Kline, your complete disregard for my privacy has allowed this former undecided voter to decide which candidate will get my vote.

Feminism misguided in Womyn Take Back the Night
Is there any spectacle in America more bizarre than that of ideologically crazed feminists rampaging down a street screaming over their right to kill unborn children? Well, there is one that is close, the spectacle of Take Back the Night.
While watching from my upstairs window on Massachusetts Street, the procession below, while nowhere as malignant, still looked a little too much like the midnight torch-lit parades of the early Nazis, and there are some similarities that concern me.
First, the demonization of other groups — in the case of the Nazi, the Jews in this case, the American male. In place of the pagan symbol of the Swastika, the gender feminist symbol is three women holding up the moon, evoking latter-day earth goddess roaming through the American campus. In fact, women centers on campus do run "moon groups" dedicated to the pagan nature goddesses and teaching that prehistoric Europe was a peaceful, egalitarian, matriarchal society that worshiped the goddesses, until the wicked patriarchy forced them out. Said the famous anthropologist, Margaret Mead, of this, "claims made about societies run by women are nonsense; we have no reason to believe they ever existed."
For 10 years, Take Back the Night has been the largest annual demonstration on the American campus, based on the wildly exaggerated claim by Gloria Steinem in Ms. magazine in 1985 that one out of four female students gets raped. While I don't have the latest figures, between 1983 and 1992, only two rapes were reported to the Princeton campus security, and at Berkeley, with 14,000 female students, only two were reported in 1990.
The problem comes from the interpretation by the gender feminists of rape. In a study by Neil Gilbert, professor of social science at Berkeley, he found that in the Ms. study, 73 percent of the women categorized as rape victims had not, in fact, denied their experience as such. That interpretation came from Mary Koss, the feminist psychologist who conducted the study. These were not self-proclaimed victims. They were victims according to someone else. Gilbert also found that 42 percent of the students it identified as rape victims later had sex with the same men who had supposedly raped them.
Someone is "finding" the rape crisis and finding it for a purpose — to promote the ideological agenda of the feminist movement, conjured up to justify a broader critique of society with rape as the primary proof of male aggression against women.
So, instead of celebrating women's strength once a year, feminist leaders in Take Back the Night emphasize women's vulnerability, with everyone glowing in their status as victims, the image of helplessness and passivity, a temporary hypocritical charge to strengthen the gender feminists charge of patriarchal oppression (which, of course, is nonsense.)
Gender feminists set up female students for the
purpose of pursuing their real agenda, the same values of the '60sthat betrayed the freedom of the South Vietnamese, anti-middle class, antidemocratic, anti-religious, anti-patriotic, anti-Western and anti-intellectual.
Now, if there is to be a response to this article from a feminist, it is guaranteed to begin, "I am enraged." Feminists are perpetually constipated with "outrage." The movement keeps itself alive by a steady infusion of rage — not to mention falsehoods, irrationality and self pity, all substitutes for accomplishment.
And the most rabid fundamentalist has nothing on a gender feminist in full-blown indignation in response to criticism. I suggest what Harry Truman used to say: "If you can't take the kitchen, at least stay out of the heat."

Local attitude toward sexual assault undeniably despicable
In regard to this whole mess of the football players who "allegedly" sexually and physically assaulted the female soccer player, I have been angry, disgusted, saddened and now I am frankly outraged.
Who are all these wolves in sheep's clothing who flee outrage at the "mockery of the justice system?" These are the same people that immediately turn around and write things like "To the soccer player: I think you made an error in judgment but ..." Why do you feel that the soccer player made an error in judgment? Because she didn't immediately report the assault or because she reported it to people in the Athletics Department first (people she probably trusted to treat her with the same respect and concern they would supposedly treat any other athlete who had concerns about fellow athletes)? Do any of you people who insist on blaming this girl, the victim, I might add, realize that while you are outraged at the state of justice in our society, you are helping to perpetuate the very same rape culture and rape myths that make victims reluctant to report their assaults and/or prosecute them?
Quite obviously, those people who insist on a victim-blaming approach toward what amounts to violent sex crimes have never been raped, sexually assaulted or battered. There is a culture of shame and stigma that often attaches itself more to the rape victim than to the rapists themselves.
Questions abound from law enforcement and lawyers such as "How much did you have to drink?" or, "Why were you alone with this person?" or "What were you wearing?" that force the victims of such crimes into feelings of guilt and depression. "Maybe I could have fought harder" or "I should not have worn that skirt" are the sort of things victims are made to think in this society after being violently attacked because rape and sexual assault couldn't possibly be the fault of the perpetrators of such crimes, right?
Wrong. No matter what a woman (or any person, for that matter) does, what she wears, or how she does or does not report the crime committed against her, she is still not at fault. No means no, and if you are unable to say no, then you are unable to yes, and that means no. Obviously there are many people on campus and in the community who have no idea what is like to be too scared, ashamed or intimidated to speak up. Just because it took the soccer player some time to find her voice does not mean that she doesn't deserve to have one.
Finally, I would like to say shame on the UDK for something serious and real. Shame on you for publishing comments and stories that have perpetuated rape culture and myths and aided in the perpetration of violence against women in the media and the revictimization of victims. I hope to see more sensitivity in the future toward a population we rarely acknowledge with empathy in the U.S.: victims of sex crimes.

Bush admits to 25-year-old DUI
The Associated Press
WEST ALLIS, Wis. — Texas Gov. George W. Bush said yesterday he was arrested and pleaded guilty nearly 25 years ago to driving while under the influence of alcohol.
Confirming reports that surfaced five days before Election Day, the GOP presidential nominee said in a hurriedly arranged news conference, "I've often times said that years ago I made some mistakes. I occasionally drank too much, and I did on that night. I regret that it happened."
The Sept. 4, 1976, incident first was reported by Fox News. Bush, who was 30 years old at the time, said he had chosen to keep the incident private, but his hand was forced by the news outlets.
— days before the election."
Suggesting that politics may have played a role in the incident surfacing now, Bush said, "I think that's an interesting question. Why now?
For months, the GOP nominee has refused to answer questions about
indiscretions," including whether he used illegal drugs in the 1960s and early 1970s. He continued to avoid specifics last night, saying he has "been straightforward with the people, saying that I used to drink too much
MICHAEL J. CABOT
in the past. I'm straightforward with people saying I don't drink now."
Bush: paid a fine and had driving privileges revoked.
Chris Lehane, representative for the Gore campaign, said, "We had absolutely nothing to do with this."
Bush's campaign staff jumped into action after the news broke, tracking down the arresting officer and quickly arranging a rare news conference for the Texas governor—his first in a month.
Aides said Bush was pulled aside near his family's Kennebunkport, Maine, summer home after visiting a bar with friends and a family member during the Labor Day weekend.
Representative Mindy Tucker said Bush, who had been drinking beer, paid a $150 fine and had his driving privileges revoked in the state of Maine for a short period. His drivers' license in Texas, where Bush lived at the time, was not revoked or suspended, she said.
"I didn't want to talk about this in front of my daughters," said Bush, who is father of 18-year-old twins.
Calvin Bridges, identified as the arresting officer'by the Bush campaign and documents made available by the Bush campaign, said in a telephone interview that he recalls driving home from work after midnight and spotting a car slipping briefly onto the shoulder before getting back on the road.
Bush, the driver, failed a road sobriety test and a second test in the police station, registering a 0.10 blood-alcohol level — the legal limit at the time. Bridges said.
Asked about Bush's demeanor, the retired officer said, "The man was, and I say this without being facetious, a picture of integrity. He gave no resistance. He was very cooperative."
The GOP presidential nominee, 54,
has said he quit drinking the day
after his 40th birthday — July 6, 1988.
Bush's running mate Dick Cheney, 59, had two driving while intoxicated offenses when he was in his early 20s, in 1962 and 1963, according to his press secretary Juleanna Glover Weiss. She couldn't provide details.
Former professor appeals decision
A former University of Kansas law professor is urging an appeals court to reinstate his lawsuit against the University, The Topeka Capital-Journal reported yesterday.
Emil A. Tonkovich was fired in 1993, nine months after a student charged that he demanded sex from her and she complied because she thought it might harm her grade if she refused.
Tonkovich contends that U.S. District Judge G. Thomas Van Bebber ered in throwing out his lawsuit against KU regents, administrators and professors last February.
Tonkovich wrote a 68-page argument which he recently filed at the 10th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver.
The Capital-Journal said Tonkovich wanted to get the case out of Kansas, where judges may be partial because of connections to the law school. Tonkovich is the husband of Douglas County District Attorney Christine Tonkovich.
Manhattan Project report copies helped educate Iraqi bombmaker
The Associated Press
— Kansan staff report
WASHINGTON — A former high-ranking official in Iraq's nuclear weapons program says he got American help in designing a bomb for Saddam Hussein: library copies of reports on the 1940s Manhattan Project.
One of only three or four nuclear physicists in Iraq when the bomb project began in the 1970s, Khidhir Hamza, a nuclear physicist who defected in 1994, says he found the Manhattan Project report at Iraq's atomic energy library "in a corner with a pile of dust on them, sitting there telling me exactly what to do."
The Manhattan Project was the crash U.S. government program in which scientists developed the atomic bomb and produced the two that were dropped on the Japanese cities Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end World War II. In a speech at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, Hamza did not say how the Iraqi library got the reports, which like much other information are readily available
around the world now.
He has said previously, however, that Iraq had a program before the 1991 Persian Gulf War of searching open literature and getting close to people in the United States who had classified information. Specifically, Iraqi students in the United States combed university libraries for bomb-building information, and Iraqi agents and scientists collected data at American scientific conferences and elsewhere, he has said.
Hamza, who co-authored the just-released book Saddam's Bombmaker, said Iraqi scientists and engineers concealed their work from international inspectors by simply locking doors and leading inspectors past them.
Hamza said he believes Iraq could build a nuclear weapon "within months" if it got fissionable material from Russia or on the black market. Without that, he said, it would need to rebuild destroyed factories to produce its own material, which would require two or three years.

Momentum builds for coalition's cause
NATO countries stress need for international nuclear disarmament
The Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — A coalition of countries pressing for total nuclear disarmament has won votes from the United States and NATO countries for a resolution seeking to cut nuclear arsenals, a top U.N. official said yesterday.
The resolution of the New Agenda Coalition was adopted with 146 votes in favor at Wednesday's close of the annual session of the U.N. disarmament committee. Last year, it only received 90 "yes" votes.
Underssecretary-General for Disarmament, Jayantha Dhanapala, attributed the significant increase in this year's vote to the outcome of a U.N. conference in May reviewing progress on implementing the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
That conference ended with a pledge by the five main nuclear powers — the United States, Britain, France, Russia and China — to make an unequivocal undertaking to eliminate their nuclear arsenals.
Russia and France were among the eight countries that abstained from the vote, which now goes to the full General Assembly.
India and Pakistan, which conducted rival nuclear tests in 1988, and Israel, which is believed to have nuclear weapons capability, voted against the resolution. None joined the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty.
The resolution of the New Agenda group, which includes South Africa, Brazil, Ireland, Egypt, New Zealand, Mexico and Sweden, was one of 49 adopted by the committee in its deliberations.
One resolution sponsored by Japan and Australia took the agreements reached at the May conference further by setting a date 2005 — for the conclusion of negotiations for a treaty banning the production of fissile material, the key building block of nuclear weapons.
The United States, Israel and Micronesia voted against a resolution cosponsored by Russia, China and Belarus calling for the United States to refrain from deploying a national missile defense system.
the resolution welcomed President Clinton's decision to put off deployment, which would require changes to the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty, considered the cornerstone of arms control agreements.
Fijian soldiers retake barracks
The Associated Press
SUVA, Fiji — Elite soldiers who apparently feared being drummed out of the army because a May coup seized Fiji's main military barracks yesterday and took hostages but were flushed out by regular army troops in gun battles.
Eight people were killed, including five rebellious soldiers, and another 14 soldiers and eight civilians were injured, said a military representative, Maj. Howard Politini.
The mutiny began when 40 soldiers from the army's Counter Revolutionary Warfare unit seized the officers' mess at the barracks, took five officers hostage and demanded negotiations with top officers.
Troops loyal to interim Prime Minister Laisena Qarase stormed into the barracks in an all-out attack, capturing an unspecified number of rebellious soldiers and freeing the five hostages, Politini told Fili Radio.
The motives of the rebellious soldiers remained unclear, but speculation was that at least eight of them feared they would be kicked out of the army for their role in a May 19 coup in this Pacific island nation.
The coup, which toppled the government of Prime Minister Mahendra Chaudhry, was masterminded by George Speight, who said he wanted to rein in the large ethnic Indian minority.
ruji, a nation of 320 islands about 2,250 miles northeast of Sydney, Australia, is ruled by a military-installed civilian government that has pledged to hold elections within two years but which also says it will reserve the top political jobs for indigenous Fijians.

For two KU students, college is a place to build belief and culture

like Lee and Sarah Shik share a dream.
But there is more that connects these two than future career plans. They also devote time to KU religious organizations as student leaders.
They both want to help the environment through the legal profession. Lee, a Lawrence sophomore, and Shik, an Overland Park senior, study English at the University of Kansas, with hopes of moving on to law school.
The pair face difficulties as both college students and leaders of faith. They find themselves still exploring their own ideas about religion.
"I will always be Jewish. I will always have ties to Israel," said Shik, president of the Hillel Foundation, the Jewish student organization. "I feel a very close bond to the Jewish community. I am not very religious, though. My biggest focus is trying to be a good person."
A transformation of faith
Lee is co-coordinating the Ecumenical Christian Ministries' trip to Abiquiu, N.M., this year. Lee attended the same alternative spring break trip last year. Lee and fellow student coordinator Erica Dresslaer, Wichita senior, started promoting the trip this fall with pamphlets and testimonials. He said the real work would be the spring informational meetings about the cultural beliefs of their destination.
Dresslaer, who also made the trip, noticed Lee's growing faith during the week. Lee is trying to give others that same opportunity. Dresslaer said.
After last year's trip, Lee found another way to describe him-
"I think what is so great about Mike is his enthusiasm," she said. "He is making this a positive experience for everyone."

to pass the time of those.
A meeting in New Mexico with ECMs director, the Rev. Thad Holcombe, changed his mind about the title.
"Typically, clergymen are seen as pretty uptight," Lee said. "Thad is so open to what students go through. He has been the main catalyst for

my involvement in ECM."
Lee did not learn about Christianity as a child. His father taught him about Eastern thought, especially Zen Buddhism. Lee said he found that peace could come through nature — still one of his strongest beliefs.

"Mike is a great photographer," Holcombe said. "He is also a great leader. He is open to others and their ideas. Mike is articulate and relates well with all people."
With taking on the Christian faith, Lee said he did not want to lead other people's lives for them or try to push his religion on them. He said college was a time for exploration and questioning, not only of religion but of life.
Lee said he didn't consider it a sin to drink or go to bars — he said it was part of the learning process. If people want to participate in religion, they must seek it out for themselves, Lee said.
people's faith. You invite us to Lee does not abide by one church's doctrines. He instead combines portions of Eastern thought, transcendentalism and Christianity. While he learned Eastern thought early in life, he explored the other two on his own, wanting to reach a greater spirituality. The transcendentalist ideas of peace and civil disobedience coincide with the ideas of the Gospels, Lee said. Thus, by weaving many different religions into his faith, he is a Christian but is not defined by it.
"I think a student has to choose to be active in religion," Lee said. "It is not an easy time for us. Just everyday pressures test people's faith. You have to be strong."
"I consider myself a religious man, but more than that, a spiritual one," he said.
Connecting with culture
snik has also put her faith into practice in the University setting.
Hillel helped start a national peace effort last week with its white ribbon campaign. With the antagonism in the Middle East threatening to spread to campus, the Jewish student group decided to take action. Hillel did not counteract the antiIsrael protest at Wescoe Hall on Thursday. Instead, it called for a cease-fire for the ravaged land, handing out ribbons and trying to unify people on campus, she said. Other chapters of the
group across the nation have followed KU's lead.
"I am very proud of the way they handled the situation," said Susan Shafer-Landau, executive director of Hillel. "There were some conflicts within our own group on how to approach the rally. We did not want to engage in any action that might lead to violence as on some other campuses. They went back and forth, but what ultimately came to be was that everyone wanted peace. The ribbons gave them the ability to reach out to people."
Shik doesn't know if peace can ever come to her father's homeland. Part Israeli, to Shik the struggles in the Middle East are deeply personal to Shik, with several of her family members having served the army.
She does not favor the hardline pro-Israel stance that some of her faith do.
"I think it makes me more objective that I am so deeply involved," she said. "It is easy to give your opinion when you are not. When I walk down the streets of Jerusalem, Palestinians and Israelis interact with each other all the time. You can't be that brutal when you live on the same block. It is so complex."
The first-time president does not like such weighty issues to consume her group's attention. Shik said she tried to keep things on a lighter note, wanting people to enjoy their time with the group.
She starts meetings of Hillel by having everyone announce his or her favorite song or television show of the 1980s, said Heather Karlin, Hillel's religious chairperson and Atlanta junior. Another time Shik made everyone pick a fruit or vegetable they most represent and why.
Since joining the group last year, she said Hillel had provided a "home away from home." She went to a picnic the beginning of her junior year and kept coming back for more.
She said Hillel was an umbrella organization — if its members want to get involved with politics, the environment or other social issues, the Jewish group can help them. Although she can find a myriad of things to do there, she has reconnected with people sharing her background. The Jewish people in general are a close-knit group, and she has found a community of those connected through culture, she said.
connected in all ways. "To some people, Judaism is more cultural than faith," she said. "There are a lot of cultural things that separate us from other people."
For right now, Shik falls in the cultural category. She finds the shared experiences comforting but does not consider herself extremely religious. She looks at college as a time for exploration into different ideas, which is why religion is not a central issue for her right now.
"One of things I realize is that school is something that is passing," she said. "You have your religion the rest of your life. You have faith your whole life."

Norris on quest to find himself
By Jason Franchuk sports@kansan.com Kansan writerwriter
The posters, pictures and promise that accompanied Kansas senior running back Moran Norris' leap to star status last year were nice, but a teammate worried it would go to some people's heads.
Senior quarterback Dylan Smith said he had no fear of Norris becoming star-struck and complacent. But he knew that Norris' emerging popularity would give this year's opponents something to think about.
After sitting on the bench or blocking his first two seasons, Norris became a bonafide running back and was heralded by one analyst as potentially the top fullback prospect going into the NFL draft following this season. But as the publicity surrounded Norris, college defenses figured they would follow.
This season, amid all the hyperbole, Norris admittedly has been lost. Here's the milk-carton description:
Born: 6-16-78
Height: 6-2. Weight: 245
Height of 0.25m Note: Able to plow through defenses and bench press various compact cars.
Last seen: On Kansas sideline last
"I was hurt and I was depressed. It was tough to stand on the sideline, knowing that I could help the team if I was healthy."
Moran Norris senior running back
Saturday in 45-39 loss to Texas Tech. By his own admission, this year has been disappointing for Norris.
After a variety of injuries depleted Kansas' backfield last year, Norris was asked to take some handoffs. The experiment worked. He averaged nearly 80 yards rushing during the last seven games, including at least one touchdown in the final six out of seven. He started nine games, rushing 107 times for 547 yards.
Kansas coach Terry Allen had plans for his new running back this year tgat were as big as Norris' legs. Last year, Norris got his chance because small, quick senior running back David Winbush was sporadically injured. This year, Allen figured he had two different styles of runners.
"There's a time and place for both," Allen said.
This year has been a role reversal.
This year has been a rote reversal. Winbush has stayed healthy, carrying the ball 126 times for 588 yards. Norris led the team in carries the second game of the year against Alabama Birmingham (24 for 84) and again against K-State with (14 for 45). Either Winbush or Smith have rushed the most in Kansas' other seven games.
"It's not what I expected," Norris said. "I expected a lot more of myself. But they know my moves."
Norris might be a senior, but he's really in his second year as a running back after converting from a tight end and full-time blocker. And this season teams have had a better idea how to stop him.
Norris had four carries against Colorado two weeks ago, leaving the game in the first quarter with a sprained ankle which also kept him sidelined in last Saturday's loss. Missing that game hurt the most for Norris: Kansas was 4-3, and a win would have helped its goal of six wins and bowl-eligibility.
"I was hurt and I was depressed," he said. "It was tough to stand on the sideline, knowing that I could help the team if I was healthy."

Woodard awarded 'dream' induction into Kansas City Walk of Stars
By Zac Hunter

Kansan sportswriter
No one embodies Kansas women's basketball more than former player and assistant coach Lynette Woodard.
Today she will be honored with induction into the Kansas City Walk of Stars at the Gem Theater in Kansas City, Mo. Woodard is being inducted along with former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas and former Oakland Raiders and Kansas City Royals player Bo Jackson.
She was obviously taken aback by the award.
"This is something that you always dream

"We are so thrilled about Lynette's success," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "Lynette is one of the most brilliant sports figures to come out of this area. It is exciting that she is the first woman to be inducted."
She helped lead the United States to the gold medal in the '84 Olympics in Los Angeles, but was unable to play in the '80 Moscow games because of the American boycott.

The Walk of Stars is not the only time Woodard has been the first woman to break through an all-male barrier. She is the only woman to have her jersey retired in Allen Fieldhouse.
The reason her No. 31 is hanging from the Fieldhouse rafters is simple: she owned women's basketball from 1978-81.
Voters across the Kansas City area chose all three inductees - the 10th group to receive the honor.
Making Woodard's induction even more special is the fact she is the first woman voted on to the Walk of Stars.
Woodard scored an incredible 3,649 points in her career with the Jayhawks, along with 1,714 rebounds and 522 steals in 139 games.

'Hawks hope to fine-tune against Hornets tomorrow
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
- Edited by Clay McCuistion
Following a Wednesday roasting of the California All-Stars in their exhibition opener, the Jayhawks will finish the exhibition season when they aim to smoke Emporia State at 8 tomorrow night at Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas knows its recipe for success means attention to details.
The Jayhawks, ranked No. 1 in yesterday's Big 12 media poll, want to emphasize the "little things" that could prove to be the difference in March. Little things such as offensive sets and in-bounds plays. Little things like deciding on a starting lineup.
Following Kansas' game against the All-Stars on Wednesday, coach Roy Williams admitted his team needed more stringent attention to detail — particularly on offense.
"We've got a few set things in, and a couple of times we did a good job with the execution of those and got good shots," he said. "Yet we had one out of bounds play that we ran three times in a row and didn't get it right. As a matter of fact, Kenny Gregory messed it up twice, and he's only been doing the same play for three years."
Against the All-Stars, Gregory,
junior guard Jeff Boschee, sophomore
guard Kirk Hinrich, sophomore for-
ward Drew Gooden and senior center
Eric Chenwit started the game.
"As you can see, we started five different guys in the second half, so nobody has been chosen," Williams said. "I really do not have any method I'm going to use to choose a starting lineup, I'm just going to wait and see. One of the factors is definitely going to be the defensive grades for the game. I might start the guys with the best defensive grades."
To start the second half, Gregory and Gooden sat down while junior forward Luke Axteell and sophomore forward Nick Collison got the nod.
But Williams insisted it was defense — not offense — that would decide the starting lineup for tomorrow night's game against the Hornets. But as for the regular season, he said he still had no idea who would start.
"I thought Kirk worked awfully hard out there," he said. "Without looking at the tape, I'm sure Kirk graded positively."
Still, Williams insisted his starting lineup was unimportant -- especially considering the practice-like atmosphere of these exhibition games.
Williams said it could be totally different tomorrow.
But Williams all but confirmed that Hinrich's spot in the starting five was just about sewn up.
"As I told the guys, who starts is completely immaterial," he said. "You
can't find any basketball people who say it's important. Most of the time, those seven guys are going to be about equal in minutes played."
And those seven will have plenty to work on tomorrow night. Following Wednesday's game, Williams said that his team must improve defensively.
"Two things that worry me a great deal was allowing them to shoot 29 free throws, which usually means you're going to lose the game," he said. "And we've got to do a better job of getting to the basketball and defending their three point shooters than we did."
Senior center Eric Chenowith said fans could look for that improvement tomorrow — despite exhibition games'
relative lack of importance.
"It's not hard to get up for these games," he said. "No. 1, coach is watching you, so he's going to get on you. Second of all, you're playing in front of 16,000 people, so they see it, too. We just want to improve every day, and I think we've improved."
Improvement will be key, because the Jayhawks' next contest will be against UCLA at Madison Square Garden in New York City for the official start of the season.
Whether Kansas starts off the season cooking or if the team fails to rise could depend on how well they pay attention to detail against Emporia State.

NFL selection of Super Bowl sites remains short on kicks
Jacksonville, Detroit, Houston.
No, these aren't the names of the three most boring cities in the United States.
You got it: snore cities.
No — wait — yes these are the names of the three most boring cities in the United States and they're also the names of the 2004, 2005 and 2006 Super Bowl cities that were announced Wednesday.
Now, I'm not trying to be judgmental. OK, yes I am.
The Super Bowl is supposed to be the highlight of the football season, pitting the two best teams against each other in a game that hails the winner and forgets about the loser two hours later. So in order to draw a large crowd, the owners need to pick an exciting city.
First, there's Jacksonville.
So what were they thinking with these latest selections? Seems as though they hit their heads on the same pole that prompted Jeff Carey to shave his head at Late Night with Roy Williams.
It's in Florida, so it has good weather, has good-looking people, is close to Disney World and has a nice backdrop for any scandal that could come out of the post-Super Bowl parties.
While a seaside view may be romantic, seasickness and stinky fish are the first things that come to mind.
On the downside, Jacksonville is so tiny population-wise that the city will dock at least 10 cruise ships near Alltel Stadium on the St. John's River to provide the necessary hotel rooms to accommodate an expected large crowd.
Wayne Weaver, the owner of the Jaguars, said this Super Bowl selection made Jacksonville a first-tier city. If that's true, then Milli Vanilli was robbed of its Grammy — not too likely.
Jacksonville beat out Miami, which has played host to eight Super Bowls, in a closely contested race for the 2005 game. Will Smith and I will both take Miami instead of J-town any day.
After the sleeper in north Florida, football fans get to travel to Detroit.
football fans get to the Detroit is getting its second Super Bowl — the 1962 game was played at the suburban Pontiac Silverdome.
The 2006 game will be at a new downtown stadium, the domed 65,000-seat Ford Field.
The NFL raised some concerns about Detroit's ability to meet the requirement for 17,500 hotel rooms within an hour's drive of the stadium. How about the ability to entertain those brave souls? Have cheese-eating or car-making contests? Sounds like a party to me.
Now here's the hippest city in the trio, and that's sad. Houston.
Houston first played host to the Super Bowl in 1974 at Rice Stadium, and that's basically the highlight of its existence since Warren Moon left.
I've never been there, but I've heard the city is uglier than a Kansas State cheerleader.
We all know Texas is an abination that should have seceded years ago. Why torment Super Bowl-goers to the halftime show and Houston?
If I had to pick the next three sites, these three would not be on the top of my list.
Try these instead: New York, a town that honors bat-throwing Roger Clemens; Los Angeles, a city more phoney than the Bears' passing game; and Walla Walla, Washington, because I just like the way it sounds.
So don't book any airline tickets for me to fly to the future sites...I think I have to wash my hair that day.

Aries (march 21) is Sunday.
All of a sudden, everything looks easy. Something that was almost unbearable yesterday looks funny now. A difficult phase is over, but you aren't in the clear yet. Don't say anything snotty to a person who could hurt your chance to advance.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Does somebody owe you money? This is a good day to ask for it. Don't be embarrassed. Think of it like you're cleaning up loose odds and ends.
Actually, the person who owes you may have forgot ten about it and may be glad you sent a reminder.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
You'll get luckier in love soon. The real benefits show up this weekend, so make a date. Tonight could be difficult, but tomorrow is excellent. Getting together Sunday will be difficult too, unless you already are together, of course.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Others may compliment your talents, but don't let it go to your head. You make it look like it's easy while just the opposite is true. Better practice so you can perform to your expectations.

Top recruit takes time to make up his mind
Don't abandon Plan A quite yet.
Aaron Miles, a 6-foot point guard from Portland, Ore., who is one of Kansas' top recruits, is taking his time deciding between Kansas and Arizona. But that might not be all bad news for the Jahawks.
Miles visited Arizona last weekend and said he would have an announcement before Wednesday's start of the fall signing period.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be for entertainment purposes only.
"Have help on Rivals100hoops.com said not to worry about Miles' drawn-out decision. He said that Miles didn't have a good visit to Arizona and he could commit to Kansas as soon as today.
Meanwhile, Keith Langford, a 6-foot-4 forward/guard from Crowley, Texas, will be in town this weekend for the Jayhawks' exhibition game against Emporia State. And he may not leave Kansas without committing to the Jayhawks.
Fastbreak Recruiting reported yesterday that Langford would give Kansas a verbal commitment this weekend unless "something goes terribly wrong."
Langford visited Cincinnati last weekend and apparently had a good time, but reportedly Kansas still has the edge for his services.
Another Jayhawk recruit, 6-foot-4 guard Jeff Hawkins from Shawnee, attended the Kansas exhibition game on Wednesday night.
Media ranks 'Hawks at top of the Big 12
the Kansas bandwagon just keeps getting more crowded.
Just weeks after the Big 12 Conference coaches picked Kansas to win the conference title, the Big 12 media followed suit, naming Kansas as its favorite.
Kansas received 17 out of a possible 22 first place votes and received a total of 258 points in the poll.
Oklahoma finished second in the poll with 235 points, while Missouri checked in at third with 214. Kansas State brought up the rear with a mere 38 points in the poll.
but the media's emulation didn't stop there.
Collison scored 15 points and nabbed four rebounds in the Jayhawks' 98-80 exhibition drumming of the California All-Stars on Wednesday night. Gooden also performed well in the exhibition, totaling 14 points and 14 rebounds, mostly in the first half.
Sophomore forwards Drew Gooden and Nick Collison — who already earned preseason All-Big 12 honors from the coaches — cleaned up the same awards from the media, Gooden and Collison join Iowa State's Jamaal Tinsley. Missouri's Kareem Rush and Nebraska's Kimi Friend in receiving the preseason honors.
The media tabbed Tinsley its pre-season player of the year.

Player of the Year goes to first baseman
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Colorado's Todd Helton, who led the major leagues in batting after hitting. 400 as late as Aug. 21, was voted The Associated Press Major League Player of the Year yesterday.
The 27-year-old first baseman received 21 of 106 votes in nationwide balloting by writers and broadcasters.
Oakland first baseman Jason Giambi was second with 15 votes, followed by San Francisco outfielder Barry Bonds, Boston pitcher Pedro Martinez and Seattle shortstop Alex Rodriguez, all tied for third with 12 votes.
"Trust me, I'd much rather be in the Yankees' shoes," Helton said Wednesday when informed of his victory.
Helton wound up hitting 372, winning his first National League batting title, and led the major leagues with 147 RBI. He had 42 homers, led the majors in slugging percentage (.696) and total bases (405), and topped the NL in on-base percentage (.463), hits (216) and batting average with runners in scoring position (.392).
His 62 doubles were the most in
"It's hard to be a road
It's hard to be a road hitter when you hit at Coors Field. When you see all these green spaces to get base hits,you have a great attitude getting in
the box.'
Todd Telton Colorado first baseman
the major leagues since 1936, when Joe Medwick had 64 and Charlie Gehringer 62.
In just his third full season in major leagues, Helton hit .391 at Coors Field in Denver and batted .353 on the road, up from .252 last year.
"It's hard to be a road hitter when you hit at Coors Field," Helfon said. "When you see all these green spaces to get base hits, you have a great attitude getting in the box. That's half the battle. On the road, you don't see that.
"One of my goals coming into the season was to hit better on the road," he said. "It's all mental. The last couple of months, I enjoyed hitting on the road better. People were telling me I was the only person who couldn't hit at Coors Field."
Despite Helton's big season, Colorado went 82-80, finishing fourth in the NL West. 15 games behind division-leading San Francisco.
"When you're losing, stats really don't matter," he said. "You go out there to win. The really good teams, they go through bad periods, too, but they know how to come out of them and minimize that. A couple bad stretches, we weren't able to get out of, and basically that was the season there."
Helton raised his career average of .334, second among active players behind Tony Gwynn (.338). Helton hit .512 in May (42 for 82) with 11 nomers and 26 RBI, and .476 in August (50 for 105) with seven nomers and 32 RBI. He has a .395 career average in August.
He's about to head to the Caribbean on his honeymoon, and already has started offseason workouts in preparation for spring training. He switched his weight training program after the 1999 season, when he hit .320.
"The last two seasons, I started real slow, just because I lifted a lot of weights," he said. "It got my upper body so tight, my swing was tight. I went to an Olympic-type lifting program. It makes you more flexible."
Martinez won the award last year and Rodriguez won in 1996. Bonds won in both 1992 and 1993.

Emporia State fights injuries as game with Kansas looms
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
There is an evident buzz surrounding Emporia State coach Marc Comstock and his players as they prepare for tomorrow's exhibition game against Kansas.
The 7 p.m. game in Allen Fieldhouse will mark the first time the Hornets have taken the floor this season.
Emporia State will make the most of the experience, Comstock said, and Texas A&M transfer T.J. Brown, junior guard, also will take the floor for the first time in a Hornets jersey.
"Hopefully we're going to get a lot out of it," Comstock said. "We've tried to sit down and come up with nine or 10 things that we're going to try to do that are going to make us better. We can't go up there and just not get something out of it."
He said he was not concerned with what Kansas threw at his team. He only cared about what his team can do to improve itself.
"We're not going to spend a lot of time over the next two or three days trying to defend KU's stuff or preparing for them," Comstock said. "We're
going to go up there and try to execute our stuff offensively and defensively. We're going to be concerned with some things that they do because they're awful good, but we want to come out of it being a little bit better of a team than we were going into it."
A depleted roster for Emporia State, however, should make the task a little taller than Kansas' height advantage.
"We think we've got a real nice Division II team, but we have been hit by the injury bug a little bit," Comstock said.
Senior Benny Theriot. Emporia State's leading scorer and rebounder last season, had surgery for a broken foot in Topeka on Wednesday. Theriot will miss the entire season and was granted a medical redshirt.
Theriot's not the only wounded Hornet. Junior guard Shawn Kinder will not play either. He had compartment syndrome surgery — the same surgery that sidelined Kansas freshman Mario Kinsey last month.
"We've got a couple guys nicked up," Comstock said. "We're a little thin, but we like our team, and we think we're going to have a pretty competitive Division II team."
Speaking of thin, Emporia State will
also face a difficult match-up in the post. Its tallest player is 6-foot-9 junior center Brad Emme. He will have to deal with the Kansas front line of senior Eric Chenowith, junior Jeff Carey and sophomores Nick Collison and Drew Gooden.
California All-Stars coach Phil Bryant, whose team lost to Kansas 98-80 on Wednesday, said it would be tough for any team to match Kansas' interior players.
"It's a huge factor, their post play is because they're all solid post players," Bryant said. "They can put Chenowith in there or they can put Carey, Gooden or Collison in there. They shoot the ball well and they run their stuff well."
Ultimately, Comstock said he just hopes his team plays hard.
"We're going to try very hard for 40 minutes to do some things that we can control, in terms of how we play," Comstock said. "Are we gonna be able to play them as competitively as the California All-Stars? I doubt that. But, we can't waste 40 minutes of one of our two scrimmages just going in there and playing the game and not trying to get better."

Big 12 Conference basketball season preview
Buffalo men expect better season
By Michael Riga
By Michael Rigg sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportswriter
In the high country of the Boulder flatirons, the expectations are equally as lofty.
"I'm excited about the group of men on our team and I think we have a chance to make some strides this season," said Colorado coach Ricardo Patton. "For the first time in my five years, I feel we finally have all the players with both feet heading in the right direction."
For the Buffaloes, that direction is a spot in the NCAA Tournament, where Colorado hasn't been since Chauncey Billups led the Buffaloes to the second round in 1997. After appearing in the National Invitational Tournament the past two seasons, the Buffaloes are convinced they can break into the upper echelon of the Big 12 Conference.
But in order to do that, Colorado must fill the Buffalo-chip sized shoes left by feisty guard Jaquay Walls, who is now playing for the NBA's Indiana Pacers. To counter for Walls' departure, Colorado is counting on increased production from guard Jose Winston and forwards Stephane Pelle and Jamahl Mosley to pick up the scoring slack and lift to
Buffaloes on their shoulders.
"I've been preparing myself for this over the last few seasons," Winston said. "I just want to be an extension of coach Patton. I just want to win games and help our team do that in any way that I can."
"I think we have the best set of wings since I have been here in Colorado." Patton said. "The only question is their youth. Down the road there will be no doubt about them being great basketball players."
Patton also emphasized the importance of this group of returners.
But perhaps the biggest question marks for the Buffaloos' season is the four newcomers to the team. The freshman class of Chevis Brimmer, Justin Harbert, Michel Morandais, and Blair Wilson was ranked as one of the highest in Colorado history.
"Mihal is a guy that is inexperienced but at some point will be special in this league," Patton said. "He's only a freshman. Blair has shown signs of being a good player. He moves without the ball and will help us this year along with the numerous other new faces."
But whether Patton's Buffaloes will become the talk of the conference remains to be seen.

Women work to regain elite status
Big 12 Conference basketball season preview

Just four seasons ago, the Buffaloes finished the conference season with a 12-4 record and advanced to the NCAA tournament. That was the last of six straight NCAA tournament appearances that included three Big 8 titles.
Colorado wants to regain its status among the elite in the Big 12 Conference.
Since then the Buffaloes have barely cracked the top 10 in the conference, including a 10th place finish last year, with an dismal 4-12 record in the Big 12.
This season, the expectations are a little higher, as the Big 12 coaches picked Colorado to finish sixth.
What's the difference between this year's team and last year's?
Colorado coach Ceal Barry said it was finally having some experienced players on the roster.
One of those upperclassman that can play is the team's leading scorer from a year ago, junior Jenny
"It is the first time in four years that we have upperclassmen on the roster," she said. "We have juniors and seniors with experience that can play."
Roulier. She averaged 14.9 points per game last season, and said this year's team would be much better than in her two previous seasons.
"Last year we ended the season on a positive note," she said. "Then this year started and we felt like a new team. We feel that we can erase the 10-19 record from last year."
The Buffaloes have lost only one player from last season and return nine players, including all five starters.
"She is the glue of this team and it will be huge to have her back," she said. "She is a silent leader for us both on and off the court."
Even though sophomore guard Linde Lappe wasn't a starter, Roulier said she could be the key to the season.
"We can't foul on the road and must shoot better than 70 percent at our end of the foul line," Barry said. "If we can do those things maybe we will finish high and go to play in the postseason."
Those nine players accounted for 100 percent of Colorado's points, but even that doesn't guarantee success in the Big 12.
Lappe averaged 10.7 points, 4.4 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game last season.
'Cats hope triangle offense helps
By Michael Rigg
Kansan sportswriter
In Manhattan, it doesn't take much to keep the basketball fans happy.
Granted, the Wildcats have a strong tradition, but these days — when Kansas State fans worry more about the BCS than the NIT — Wildcat backers would be happy with a .500 season and an occasional challenge of the hated Kansas Jayhawks.
Unfortunately, K-State didn't even whiff medocrity last season, finishing 19-19, and the Wildcats haven't defeated Kansas since 1994.
So the Wildcats decided it was time for a change. Tom Asbury was fired last April and replaced by former Chicago Bulls assistant Jim Woolridge.
He said he wanted to rebuild the K-State program one day at a time.
"We talk about being better than we were yesterday," Woolridge said. "We also preach about the team approach, in that we all have to sacrifice something to make the whole better."
Good thing, too. Because there's a whole lot of improvement to be made.
K-State finished dead last in the Big 12 Conference in defense last season, and their offense wasn't much better, finishing tenth. To cure the stagnant Wildcat offense, Woolridge instituted the famed triangle offense that helped the Bulls win six NBA titles.
But the triangle offense is difficult to learn, and the four newcomers and the nine returnees in the K- State lineup have been trying their best to catch on.
"Learning a new system is all mental," said senior forward Kelvin Howell. "If you listen to the coaches, the transition is easier than you think."
Woolridge agreed the transition in the offense is going smoothly.
"I think it's a great format." Woolridge said. "You can see improvements in this offense. I wouldn't agree that it's difficult. It's teaching basketball, and some will pick it up quicker than others do."
The new offense has also forced the Wildcats to develop more of a team approach to the game. The K-State players admit that there is no "go-to" player on the team, so the Wildcats will count on a balanced approach, featuring guard Galen Morrison and junior college All-American Larry Reid, among others.

K-State women trade size for speed

Kansan sportswriter
Kansas State is looking to shed its old image. Last season, the Wildcats had a bulky front court that pounded the ball inside and wasn't very mobile. This season the 'Cats want to find the fifth gear they've been missing.
"I definitely think we have more versatility and athleticism this year than in previous years that I have been here," senior guard Kim Woodlee said. Coach Deb Patterson said Kansas State would have a different approach on offense.
"We are changing in the way we play to some extent on the offensive end of the floor because of the versatility that our younger and newer players are bringing to the program." Patterson said.
The Wildcats' change is similar to that of Kansas because of all the new players Kansas State has on its roster. Six newcomers will team up with five returning players, and they will try to get Kansas State out of the middle of the pack.
Last season the Cats finished eight in the Big 12 Conference with a 6-10 conference record and were 13-17 overall.
While Kansas State is replacing size with speed, it will have to make up for some of its scoring. The Wildcats lost three players from last year's front-court that combined for 35 points per game, including forward Nicky Ramage, who averaged 13.2.
Woodle returns as one of the conference's best three-point shooters because of her 207 career three-pointers and her 42.8 shooting percentage from beyond the arc.
Another player Kansas State will lean heavily upon is junior forward Kristin Rethm. She will help to replace the losses inside, but is also another threat from the outside. Rethm nailed 41.1 percent from three-point range, and averaged more than two three-pointers per game.
"I know we will be forced to play a lot of freshmen or players who have no experience in the front line," Patterson said. "How they will be I don't know. And whether our seventh and eighth and ninth players will emerge as consistent performers and producers, again because they are young, is a question mark."

Big 12 Football
'Hawks prep for 'Huskers
Rv Allan Devie
By Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
The Nebraska Cornhuskers have beaten the Kansas football team 31 consecutive times every year since 1968.
However, Kansas coach Terry Allen only is responsible for the last three of those defeats, and his Jayhawks actually came within a touchdown of beating Nebraska last year, losing 24-17 at Memorial Stadium.
Tomorrow, Kansas (4-4, 2-3 Big 12 Conference) will try to handle Nebraska in Lincoln, Neb. The No. 5 Cornhuskers (7-1, 4-1) will be out to embarrass the Jayhawks and impress the pollsters after losing to No. 1 Oklahoma 31-14 last Saturday in Norman, Okla.
Allen said he was aware Nebraska might think it has something to prove and the Jayhawks would be ready for the challenge.
"We get the pleasure of playing Nebraska after its loss," Allen said. "We will need to be prepared for their explosive offense. This team has been able to overcome adversity well this season, and we will give our best effort on Saturday."
The Kansas vs. Nebraska series has a long history. The Jayhawk-Cornushorne rivalry is tied for the third-longest in Division I A history, at 106 games. It is the longest continuous series to
Division I-A. The two teams have played against each other every year since 1906 — 94 seasons.
Nebraska coach Frank Solich said the Jayhawks' ability wouldn't surprise his team.
"I think Kansas is a very good football team." Solich said. "They are a team that is putting points on the board. On both sides of the ball, they are playing very physical football.
"Of course, if you look at how they played us
Or course, if you look last year, they gave us a great effort. That was just a very good ball game, a very hard-fought contest. One that, as you well know, could have went either way, so we are sure that's the Kansas team that will show up on Saturday."
N Truckers
The Jayhawk defense will be severely challenged by the run-oriented Cornhusker offense, which leads the nation in rushing offense with an average of 356.6 yards per game. Nebraska is also third in the nation in total offense and fourth in scoring offense.
Senior running back Dan Alexander leads the team in rushing with 807 yards on 133 carries. He averages 100.9 yards per game and 6.1 yards per carry.
Junior quarterback Eric Crouch is second in
rushing, with 677 yards, and has scored 12 touchdowns. Backup running back Correll Buckhalter, a senior, sees a lot of action and has 570 yards rushing, an average of 71.2 yards per game. He averages 7.3 yards per carry.
The Cornhuskers don't pass much — only about 15 attempts per game. Crouch has completed only 48 percent of his passes but does have 10 touchdown passes and only six interceptions.
Nebraska's defense isn't as dominating as it has been in the recent past, but the Cornhuskers still rank 18th in the nation in scoring defense, allowing only 16.9 points per game. The Cornhuskers rank 21st in total defense, yielding an average of 305.8 yards per game.
Nebraska defensive back Troy Watchorn's five interceptions rank sixth in the nation in average interceptions per game, but he doesn't even start.
Solich said the key to stopping the Jayhawk offense was keeping senior quarterback Dylen Smith under control.
"As most offenses do, it starts with the quarterback," Solich said. "Smith is an outstanding quarterback. He can hurt you running. He can hurt you throwing. He's got a great arm and he's got excellent speed. If you just look at our game last year, you saw him do it all. You saw him scramble and make big plays off the scramble."

Norris ready to help Jayhawks

As of Wednesday, Norris listed himself at 70 percent and likely to play at Nebraska. Allen would like to see him get the ball but said he thought that more than 10 carries might be too much strain.
Last year, Norris' size allowed him to go through the Cornhuskers defense for 80 yards on 17 carries. His performance allowed Kansas to sustain drives and keep the game close, which Kansas eventually lost 24-17.
Earlier this season, a picture was published with Norris in an Ancient Greek setting raising a large ball painted as a globe. Carrying the world on his shoulders, he was supposed to be Atlas, the titan from Greek mythology.
But Kansas need a different kind of atlas for tomorrow's 2:30 p.m. game at Nebraska.
Norris has been lost. He wants to be found.
"I hope I'm ready to go full-throttle and help this team," he said.

Texas needs to win quarterback battle for Big 12 South title
By Allan Davis sports@kanson.com Kansan sportwriter
No. 20 Texas (6-2, 4-1 Big 12 Conference) still could win the Big 12 South if it beats Texas Tech (6-3, 2-3) this week, wins at Kansas on Saturday, Nov. 11 and then wins its home game against No. 24 Texas A&M on Friday, Nov. 24. However, No. 1 Oklahoma needs to lose to both Texas Tech and Texas A&M for this scenario to come true.
This game also features two of the Big 12's leading passers. Red Raider quarterback Kliff Kingsbury has four 300-yard passing games this season and had 405 yards against Kansas last Saturday.
Texas' quarterback Major Applewhite leads the Big 12 in touchdown passes with 18, and also
is the Big 12
career pass
yards leader
with 7,810
yards.
Iowa State (6-
2, 3-2) at No. 19 Kansas State (7-2,
3-2)
Kansas State still could win the Big 12 North by winning the remainder of its games, including a bout against Nebraska on Saturday, Nov. 11. But the Wildcats need to get past the Cyclones first.
K-State shouldn't take Iowa State lightly because last year in Ames, Iowa, the Cyclones led 28-7 at halftime. Unfortunately for Iowa State, they had to play the second half, and the Wildcats rallied for a 35-28 victory.
Iowa State running back Ennis Haywood is eighth in the nation and leads the Big 12 in rushing, averaging 133 yards per game. However, he will face a strong challenge — K-State yields an average of only 84.2 yards rushing per game.
On defense for the Wildcats, defensive tackle Mario Fatafehi has 55 tackles this season, including 27 unassisted tackles. He also has 8.5 sacks.
No. 24 Texas A&M (6-2, 4-1) at OKlahoma State (2-5, 0-4)
The Aggies still could win the Big 12 South if they beat the Cowboys, win a home game against No. 1 Oklahoma on Saturday, Nov. 11
and then win at No. 20 Texas.
Aggie quarterback Mark Farris continues to perform well in his first season as a starter. He has completed 141 of his 230 attempts, gaining an average of 224.5 yards per game.
Cowboy wide receiver Gabe Lindsay, younger brother of sidelined quarterback Tony Lindsay, leads Oklahoma State in receiving with 23 catches.
No. 1. Oklahma (7-0, 4-0) at Baylor
(26-2, 0-5)
Oklahoma has beaten Baylor all nine times the two teams have played and probably will make it 10-0 tomorrow.
Oklahoma quarterback Josh Heupel is making a strong case for All-America mention and perhaps Heisman Trophy consideration. He is fourth in the nation in passing efficiency and leads the Big 12 in
12 CONFERENCE
p assing g yardage with an average of 313.4 yards per game.
Heupel has
completed 67.2 percent of his 244 pass attempts and has thrown 12 touchdown passes. And, just as important, the Sooners are unbeaten and have wins against Texas, K-State and Nebraska.
Baylor won only one game last year but started 2-1 this season before dropping its last five games. The Bears never recovered from the loss of starting quarterback Greg Cicero to an injury early in the season.
Colorado (2-6, 2-3) at Missouri (2-6,
1-4)
Missouri quarterback Kirk Farmer, who broke his collarbone Sept. 30 against Nebraska, may play this week. He is listed as questionable.
Tiger defensive end Justin Smith has made 12 tackles in each of his last two games.
Buffalo freshman quarterback Craig Ochs will seek to repeat the 336-yard passing day he had last week against Oklahoma State. He also ran for 96 yards.
The game also features a matchup of cousins. Missouri strong safety Gary Anthony is likely to bump into his cousin, Colorado running back Cortlen Johnson.

Hawks ready for Bears' solid defense

Senior outside hitter Amy Myatt spikes the ball over an opponent. Myatt is third in the Big 12 Conference in kills per game. The volleyball team will play Baylor this weekend, whose Stevie Nicholas is No. 1 kills. Kansan file photo

Kansan sportswriter
Come this weekend, Roy's boys won't be the only ones nursing floor burns.
That's because the Kansas volleyball players plan to be diving all across the court when they take on the Baylor Bears at 2 p.m. tomorrow.
"Baylor plays great defense," said senior outside hitter Nancy Bell. "We'll have to match them dig for dig."
The Bears are ranked fourth in the Big 12 Conference in digs at 17.06 digs per game, while the Jayhawks are seventh with 15.61.
But digging the ball off the floor won't be the only thing that the Jayhawks have to worry about—the Bears have a full arsenal of ball killers too.
In fact, Baylor's freshman outside hitter Stevie Nicholas has quite the swing, allowing her to knock down enough balls to be
the best in the Big 12 Conference. Nicholas is No. 1 in kills per game in the conference with 5.76. Furthermore, this season the Bears have out-killed opponents by more than 200 kills, a sizable margin compared with Kansas, which has outscored its opponents by 88 kills.
However, Nicholas could find herself in a smack-down shoot out. The Jayhawks' senior outside hitter Amy Myatt is third in kills, bringing down 4.78 kills in a game.
This is where the digs become important: The one who digs prevents the kill.
"They have a lot of good go-to players," said Molly LaMere, junior setter. "We need to dig as much as they do."
Kansas put up a good fight earlier this season in a close match against Baylor on Sept. 27 in Waco, Texas. There the 'Hawks fell in five games 8-15, 15-1, 6-16, 17-15, 8-15. However, Myatt won
the shootout in Waco, killing a game-high 28 balls. Also in that game, Bell and senior middle blocker Danielle Geronymo recorded double-doubles. Geronymo had 15 kills and 11 digs, while Bell claimed 13 kills and 10 digs of her own.
"Especially with a win like tonight's, where everyone gets to play, it gives you confidence for the next game," LaMere said after Tuesday's match.
With how close the score was in teams' last meeting, as well as Kansas' shut-out of Iowa State Tuesday night, the Jayhawks are preparing for one confident fight.
And, as the season winds down, both teams are looking toward tomorrow's match up as a key match for a NCAA tournament birth.
"They're fighting to get into the NCAA tournament, and we're a team with an outside chance," Bechard said. "This is a huge match."

So, how does a 70-year-old grandpa with only a handful of years left in his coaching career convince a recruit that he, not Tommy, has the player's best long-term interests in mind?
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — If the idea of a father coaching against his son seems awkward, consider the scene in a handful of living rooms scattered across the South last winter.
Walking out the front door after making his pitch would be Florida State's chief recruiter, Bobby Bowden. Walking in would be his son, Tommy Bowden of Clemson.
"I always say, 'Ask Terry,'" Bobby Bowden said, referring to another son, who left Auburn unceremoniously two seasons ago. "Terry used to say he'd be around longer than me, and where's he right now?"
Bowden says that kind of tongue-in-cheek, but there's some truth there, and an even deeper reality beyond that. The recruiting game is almost always personal, and now it's a high-stakes family affair between Clemson and Florida State.
That's especially true now that No. 10 Clemson (8-1, 6-1) has emerged as the main threat to No.4 Florida State (8-1, 6-0) in the Atlantic Coast Conference.
The recruiting trail gives way to the football field tomorrow, when father and son meet again, in Bowden Bowl II.
"I don't think you ever really get used to it," Tommy Bowden said. "It's just not a normal occurrence."
Ann Bowden will be sitting in the stands as her husband and son square off in just the second fatherson coaching matchup in major college football history.
In the first meeting last year, there was history on the line. In addition to the first-of-its-kind matchup, Bobby Bowden was trying to become the fifth Division I-A coach to reach 300 victories.
This time, it's the future at stake.
This time, it's the future at stake. Because, as much as the share of the ACC title that's essentially riding on this game, this is a chance for Clemson to truly re-enter the landscape of college football powerhouses. It's a land the Tigers helped define decades ago, only to see the program ravaged by years of scandal and struggle.
"I know what's on the line for us," Tommy Bowden said. "But there are other things that need to be accomplished before that."
Still, it's a testament to Tommy that he has taken this program so far in such a short time.
Were it not for a spectaculare catch by Georgia Tech's Kerry Watkins last week in the waning moments, the Tigers would come here undefeated and this game would truly be a national-title playoff game.
Either way, Clemson would have been considered a major underdog
— the Seminoles are 18 1/2-point favorites — simply because of the program Bobby Bowden has built in the last 25 years.
In an era where storied programs fall and rise and fall again — see Alabama and Oklahoma this year
— FSU maintains its high status.
The Seminoles have won at least a share of the ACC title every year since they entered in 1992.
they have yet to lose a conference home game, an impressive feat no matter what the critics say about the strength of the conference.
These are daunting facts for anyone who thinks about knocking off the Seminoles. And the foundation is built not as much on Bobby Bowden's Xs and Os, but on his power of personality, a trait that hits home in the living rooms of those recruits, then pays off on campus and on the scoreboard.
"If you're going to beat them, you have to play a lot of people," said Georgia Tech's George O'Leary, the last coach thought to be the big threat to Bowden and FSU. "You have to get your depth to where you can play people and not have a major drop-off between the first and second teams. Because that's what you're really facing when you play Florida State."
The overriding feeling is that Tommy Bowden hasn't reached that point yet, but he's getting close.
If he does knock off Florida State, there's some sentiment, especially among those who know these coaches best, that the end might follow shortly for daddy.
"My mother is 100 percent Florida State." Terry Bowden said. "It's not the boy's time to beat the old man. My parents are smart enough to know that people will quickly want to put you out to pasture when you lose one or two games."
"You Don't Have to Give to the United Way but...

Robert Redford's golfing fairy tale, The Legend of Bagger Vance, is classy, dignified, eminently big-hearted. It's also simple-minded to the point of banality.
UM, I FORGOT WHAT WE'RE DOING.
I'M SHOWING YOU THEOR LIKE THE UMPTENTH TIME!
Bagger Vance pretty but boring
The Associated Press
Even so, it's hard to resist falling in step with the onscreen onlookers who crowd the links to follow a washed-up golfer as he tries to exorcise his demons and reclaim the promise his life once held.
Matt Damon stars as Rannulph Junuh, the coulda-been pro golfer who dutifully goes off to the trenches in World War I. Traumatized after his entire company is killed, Rannulph vanishes for 10 years, leaving behind his golf career and fiancee Adele Invergordon (Charlize Theron).
Jack Lemmon delivers an engaging cameo as the elderly Hardy and provides genteel voice-overs that nudge the story along.
The story unfolds through the eyes of young Hardy Greaves (newcomer J. Michael Moncrief), a boy who signs on as Rannulph's deputy caddy and whose life becomes indelibly imprinted by the hopefulness Bagger preaches.
So begins Rannulph's resurrection under the tutelage of a mysterious caddy named Bagger Vance (Will Smith), who appears out of the night to spout Zen pat-phrases intended to put the zing back in Rannulph's swing — and his life.
*Bagger Vance*, on the other hand, is goodness and mercy incarnate. It's tempting to characterize *Bagger Vance* as a throwback to a simpler era of moviemaking, but Hollywood has rarely been this simple, this benign.
Conveniently, he returns home just as Adele is looking for ways to hang on to the lavish golf resort her father opened as the Depression hit. Adele convinces two top golfers (Bruce McGill and Joel Gretsch) to compete at her place, but the city fathers insist that a local boy must join the big golf exhibition.
No villains, just a man and his own phantoms, surrounded by a decent lot of folks — friends, strangers, even competitors — cheering him on.
Director Redford's characters and Depression-era Southern settings are so richly and lovingly crafted that they largely compensate for the movie's New Age motivational babble and the shallow artifice of its story.
It's a metaphor we'd all like to live.

Arizona ready for huge season
The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — Lute Olson has coached three Final Four teams. He's won a national championship. He's got 422 victories in 17 seasons at Arizona.
This season's Wildcats could be better than any version before them. They're certainly not the most modest.
Wildcats center Loren Woods says Arizona could be the best college basketball team — ever.
Anything short of a national title will be a disappointment.
Edgerson
"With a team with this talent and such character, there's no reason for us not to win it," said forward Gene Edwards.
Everybody from last year's 27-7 team returns — and then some.
ARIZONA
WILDCATS
All five starters are nominees for the John Wooden Award as player
of the year, something that's never happened in the award's history.
At 65, Olson says he has no plans to retire. With the kind of recruiting machine he has in Tucson, who could blame him? He's never had this much talent.
"This one has fewer question marks than probably any team that we've had." he said.
In the middle is smooth, agile 7-1 Woods, who last season set an NCAA record with 14 blocked shots against Oregon. Arizona was a serious national title threat until Woods went down with a back injury and missed the final eight games. After offseason surgery, he said he's stronger than ever.
"If we win the national championship and we play to the level we're capable of playing, then we will be the greatest team ever." Woods said.
The guards are sophomores Jason Gardner and Gilbert Arenas, as athletic a pair as there is in college basketball.
The 5-foot-10 Gardner came back with a shaved head and noticeably more muscles.
"He's our buff midget," said teammate Richard Jefferson. "You need your point guard to be tough, to be gritty. You need him to work harder than everyone else."
Gardner and the supremely athletic Arenas worked all summer on improving their outside shots. Every day for two months, Arenas said, he would arrive at 7 a.m. to practice shooting with ex-player and current graduate assistant Josh Pastner, then at midnight, he would be back on the court for more shooting practice.
"Everybody knows we can win it." Arenas said. "We've just got to be ready. We can't look past anybody."
The quietest member of the starting five is 6-7,238-pound Michael Wright, the strong power forward with a soft midrange jumper. Wright averaged 14.8 points and was the leading reboucher in his two seasons at Arizona.
Then there's Jefferson, maybe the most talented of them all. The 6-7 junior, who missed 13 games last season with a broken foot, can shoot from long range and soar high above the basket inside.
Off the bench are Luke Walton and Justin Wessel, who both moved into starting spots a year ago when injuries sidelined Jefferson and Woods. Then there's the 6-foot-6, 237-pound Edgerson (about 7-feet if you count his giant Afro), who returns for his senior season after taking last year off to complete his teaching degree. Edgerson, a tough-guy leader, played on Arizona's 1997 national championship team.
"I know I can come back to the team and help us win with something special, and that something special will be my all-out hustle and intensity throughout the whole game," Edgerson said. "Guys vibe off of that."
and 6-6 freshman guard Travis Hanour was one of the country's most-recruited prep players.
Lamont Frazier will back up Gardner after missing last season with academic and health problems,
"We've got everything." Gardner said. "We've got an inside game. We've got an outside game. We've got quickness. We've got strength. It's going to be hard for anybody to match up with us."
The team is so deep that Rick Anderson, part of the regular rotation in 1999-2000, has decided to sit out this season as a redshirt because of a lack of playing time.
"You may never see a collection of talent like this again," said Jim Rosborough, Olson's longtime assistant. "You go back to the great UNLV teams, the great Duke teams, the great Indiana team with Kent Benson and Scotty May. You look out here one through five, and then six through 10. I have never seen anything like it."
The Wildcats will have several early tests. They open the season Monday, Nov. 20 at the Maui Invitational, where the competition includes Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland and Louisville. They play Purdue in Indianapolis on Saturday, Nov. 25.
On Thursday, Dec. 9, Arizona plays at Connecticut, and on Saturday, Dec. 16, the Wildcats play Illinois in Chicago. Louisiana State comes to Tucson on Wednesday, Dec. 20.
"It's a very difficult schedule, but I think anything less than that would have been very unfair to this group and their development." Olson said.
With more depth, Olson hopes to hold down the playing time for Gardner, who averaged 36.6 minutes a game last season. Fewer minutes for Gardner, Olson said, would allow the team to increase the tempo.
The result could be spectacular:
"Only time will tell how great we will be, but in order to be a great team, you have to win a national championship." Jefferson said.
"When that's said and done, we can start rating ourselves. This year we know that if we just stay injury-free, it will be very hard to stop us."
First baseman ends 15-year career
The Associated Press
The announcement was a surprise, considering the way Clark played during the final two months of the season while subbing for Mark McGwire.
ST. LOUIS — Cardinals first baseman Will Clark, known for his intense stare and sweet left-handed swing, retired yesterday, ending a 15-year career that began in San Francisco and included stops in Texas and Baltimore.
"In every player's career, sooner or later, you're going to have to make a decision to move on." Clark said. "The first part of my life was based on being a baseball player. The second part of my life is going to be based on being a daddy and a husband."
Clark, 36, hit .345 with 12 home runs and 42 RBI for the Cardinals, who acquired him July 31 from Baltimore.
Clark lived up to his nickname. The Thrill, in his first at-bat with the club hitting a pinch
the club, hitting a pinch-homer. He then homered in each of his first four starts.
"We were looking forward to having Will come back," said Cardinals general manager Walt Jocketty. "What he added to our club the second half really put us over the top."
ST LOUIS
CARDINALS
He also hit 345 in the postseason, and his three-run first-inning homer off Atlanta's Tom Glavine in Game 2 of the National League division series helped send St. Louis into its first league championship series since 1996.
"I just want to say thank you to the Cardinals organization, which allowed me to have a lot, a lot of fun the last two months of the 2000 season," Clark said.
While Clark said he'd been thinking about retirement for some time, he made the decision last weekend after talking to his family, Jocketty and manager Tony La Russa. The rigors of traveling and playing the game every day, combined with having 36 bone chips removed from his left elbow from 1996 to 1999, led to Clark's choice to leave the game.
"I can still hit, I can still play, still field my position," Clark said. "But also at the same time, this is the right time for me to exit."
McGwire underwent knee surgery last month, and hopes to be ready for spring training. Even if he's not, Clark said he won't be back.
"I'll come in and shake his hand, and give everybody high-fives and pump them up, but I not going to run out there on the field," Clark said.
Clark admitted he was tempted stay with the Cardinals, who lost to the Mets 4-1 in the National League Championship Series. The Cardinals are expected to push for free agent pitcher Mike Hampton and, with a healthy McGwire, should be a World Series contender in 2001.
"The one thing I played this long for was to get a World Series ring. That was my ultimate goal," Clark said. "I wasn't able to achieve it, but I've been close."
Clark spent eight years with the Giants before moving on to Texas in 1994 and Baltimore in 1999. He ends his career with a .303 batting average, 284 home runs and 2,176 RBI.
"I admire Will for making a tough decision at a time when he clearly had other baseball options," said Clark's agent, Jeff Moorad. "I had two other teams who asked why we hadn't filed for free agency, because they were interested in Will."
While looking forward to his first summer off since 1980, Clark made it clear yesterday he planned to stick around the game, although he didn't express much interest in managing.
"I would say I'm pretty much committed to the Cardinals, and that's about it." Clark said. "From what the Cardinals showed me in my short 2 1/2 months with them, believe me, they deserve all my loyalty."
Jocketyt said Clark would be welcome in the Cardinals organization, and Clark, who will be put on the voluntary retired list, promised Jocketyt he'd call soon.
A six-time All-Star, Clark was the MVP of the 1989 National League Championship Series for San Francisco.

Offense: Nebraska is third nationally in total offense (477.9 yards per game). Kansas found its passing attack late in last week's return to Texas Tech. The Jayhawks will need the return of running back Moran Norris and some carryover from last week's near come- back to stand a chance.
Advantage: Nebraska.
Defense: Kansas takes pleasure in stopping the run, it will get plenty of chances against the No. 1. rushing team in the country. Advantage: Even.

Nebraska went to Norman, Oka, and the Oklahoma Sooners wacked them 31-14.
Special Teams: Allen made it clear he did not need to be reminded of Bobby Newcombe's punt return for a Nebraska touchdown in last year's 24-17 win against Kansas.
Advantage: Nebraska.
Intangibles: Kansas spent practice yesterday with sound blaring at the stadium to try to mimic what it will face in Nebraska. But the "huskers are coming off a loss, and they have lost three times at home in the past 11 seasons. Advantage: Nebraska.
Coaches: Frank Solich still can offer his No. 5 team some incentive: Kick butt, and they might get back into the national title hunt. Kansas is clinging to bowl hopes, and Jayhawks coach Terry Aliy may have lost some momentum after last week. Advantage: Nebraska.

Virginia Tech quarterback questionable for tomorrow
BLACKSBURG, Va. — Michael Vick, despite exercising his injured ankle on a trampoline, failed to meet his own deadline for returning to football practice in time to expect to start when No. 2 Virginia Tech plays at No. 3 Miami tomorrow.
But Vick, recuperating from a sprained right ankle suffered last week against Pittsburgh, still hasn't been ruled out as the starter.
The Associated Press
Vick, whose game centers on speed and elusiveness, got his first chance to try a special brace molded to his foot Wednesday, and he used it while jumping on a mini-trampline. He also threw lightly.
yet," said coach Frank Beamer before his quarterback skipped practice Wednesday. "We're planning on Dave Meyer being our quarterback, but we'll have to wait and see."
"We haven't named a starting quarterback
"I'm better, but I'm still not able to do what Ido." he said.
Earlier this week, Vick said he thought he would have to return to practice by
Wednesday if he expected to start against the Hurricanes.
Beamer has said all week the Hokies have to plan as if Meyer will start their toughest game of the season, a game likely to decide the conference title and knock the loser from the national championship race.
Meyer, a fifth-year senior, was 7-for-13 for 114 yards in the 37-3 win against Pittsburgh, driving the Hokies to the last-minute field goal.
The Hokies, winners of five straight against Miami in one of the college game's growing rivalries, would love to have Vick.
a leading Heisman Trophy candidate and one of football's most exciting players.
"He's still improving day to day, but it's a long way from doing what he needs to do in a game," said trainer Mike Goforth. "We're going to have to see how he looks in warm-ups."
With Vick's availability in question, the Hokies have second-string tailback Andre Kendrick taking some snaps at quarterback as an emergency third-stringer behind Meyer and Grant Noel. Kendrick was an all-state high school quarterback at E.C. Glass
High School in Lynchburg, Va., in 1995.
Also Wednesday, three other Hokies nursing injuries returned to practice, but wide receivers Andre Davis and Emmett Johnson and linebacker Ben Taylor all were restricted to limited contact.
Davis, who has missed 11/2 games with bursitis in his left ankle, still is listed as day-to-day. Goforth said, while the other two should be ready tomorrow. Taylor sprained his right ankle in practice Tuesday, and Johnson has a bruised right quadriceps and strained left shoulder.

Rules raise admissions standards
Administrators say it's still too early to assess impact
By Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
As the University of Kansas begins to evaluate applications from its first class of freshman admitted using qualified admissions standards, administrators are waiting to see how those new standards will mold the pool of applicants.
High school seniors in Kansas must meet minimum college prep test scores and high school curriculum requirements for the first time. Previously, the only admission requirement for instate students to Kansas Regents universities was a diploma from an accredited Kansas high school. The state was
the last in the nation to adopt qualified standards for its universities.
The requirements are expected to raise KU's rank among public universities nationwide and to increase enrollment at community colleges around the state by students who do not meet the new standards.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost, said KU's rankings should improve because schools could be ranked on their selectivity.
"Since we've been nonselective up to this point, that has hurt us in the national ranking of the undergraduate program," she said. "We certainly think it will increase the quality of the students who are admitted."
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions, said it was difficult to tell yet how the new standards would affect the number of applications to KU. Many of the students who have applied by November of their senior year of high school were on a college preparatory track that had helped them meet the requirements,
"Since we've been nonselective up to this point, that has hurt us in the national ranking of the undergraduate program." Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett
associate provost
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett
"It's still a little early to tell," he said. "We'll have to look at the whole year before we determine what the impact is for the University of Kansas."
The new standards allow in-state students to qualify for admission in one of four ways—by ranking in the top third of their high school class, by scoring a minimum of 21 on the ACT, by scoring a minimum of 970 on the SAT or by completing a college preparatory curriculum. The curriculum includes four
years of English, three years of natural sciences, math, and social studies, and one year of computer technology, with a 2.0 grade point average on a 4.0 scale.
Students who didn't qualify for admission under the new standards would be encouraged to enroll at community colleges so they can transfer to Regents universities better-prepared, Cerveny said.
"This is really allowing us to serve more of a counselor role to help students prepare for college appropriately, and, in situations where they haven't, we can direct them to a community college where they can remove the deficiency and prepare to apply to the University," he said.
The college prep curriculum is the same that KU already requires for out-of-state students, with the addition of computer technology and minus two years of a foreign language. The computer technology requirement, which

Unique martini bar offers sophisticated downtown option
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
An upscale martini bar offers another option in the increasingly competitive downtown Lawrence night scene.
Singer said they spent more than two months cleaning and remodeling the building, which now has a new floor, bar and kitchen.
Raoul's Velvet Room, 815 New Hampshire St., opened Friday in the former home of Dos Hombres. This location is the second Raoul's — the first opened in Overland Park in January 1999, said Jeff Singer, one of the co-owners.
He said their market research showed people, especially women, were looking for a nicer place to go out and Raoul's would fill that niche in Lawrence. Singer said he expected an older crowd early in the evening and a volunteer crowd later at night.
"When we saw this location we said, "This is it." Singer said. "We felt Lawrence is ready for something different from the normal college bar."
"Women said, 'We're all dressed up and have nowhere to go,'" he said. "Now there's a place that they can go that's nice."
Singer said Raoul's didn't just feature a large selection of martinis and top-shelf liquors, but the full package, which during the next few weeks would include appetizers, gourmet pizza and a full dinner menu, similar to the Overland Park location. There
also will be live music on Fridays and Saturdays and new art periodically.
Singer said that during training, he emphasized customer service with his employees.
"We want a place that Lawrence can be proud of," Singer said. Sarah Stiefel, Madisonville, Ky., senior, went to the bar during the weekend and said the crowd seemed older, but she expected as time went on, more students would begin going there.
"They've changed it and made it nice in there," she said. "It was nice for cocktails and drinks, and dancing."
Stiefel said she might not go back because the drink prices were a little steep.
"As a student, I don't feel like it's in my budget," she said.
Andy Sandate, Newton senior, said he went to Raoul's on Friday because he'd heard of the Overland Park location and wanted to see what the Lawrence location was like.
"I was impressed," he said. "I liked the atmosphere they were going for. It was different than your typical sports bar or college bar kind of thing."
Sandate said he was glad to see more variety in downtown Lawrence and would visit Raoul's again.
"It's nice to offer alternatives to students," he said. "It's definitely a place to run back and forth to." Raoul's Velvet Room is open seven days a week, 4:44 p.m. to 2 a.m.

Task force pursuing discount plan for students
Bv Kursten Phelps
Kansan staff writer
By Kursten Phelps writer@kansan.com
Students may be able to save a few bucks on lunch or a pair of jeans next semester if a Student Senate task force has its way.
A discount card task force, headed by Marlon Marshall, St. Louis senior and student body vice president, has contacted about 35 local business to establish discounts for students who show their KUIDs.
Possible participants include Sylas & Maddy's Home Made Ice Cream, 1014 Massachusetts St., The Buckle, 805 Massachusetts St., Jimmy John's Gourmet Sub Shop, 1447 W. 23rd St., Juice Stop, 812 Massachusetts St. and 3514 Clinton Parkway, and Quinton's Bar and Dell, 615 Massachusetts St.
"We highlighted businesses that we feel a majority of KU students would love to get discounts at, like food and clothing places." Marshall said.
Once agreements with businesses were reached, he said, the task force would advertise the participating businesses. He said he hoped the discounts would be available when students returned for the spring semester.
"I think the city of Lawrence is very important for students, and I think it would be good if businesses started to appeal to students." White said. "It would raise their business, and as a student, I would be personally affected by the discounts."
Marshall said the potential discounts would vary from business to business. Some stores may offer a discount on anything in the store, while others may offer specials on specific items.
Kelsi White, Easton, Mass., sophomore, residential senator and member of the task force, said a student discount program would improve the relationship between the KU and Lawrence communities.
She said most of the businesses contacted were receptive to the task force's proposal.
"A lot of them are eager to work with students," White said. "We called a business that was already actually doing it without us asking because they noticed the need for student discounts."
"College students are so poor. Any extra money we can save will help us," she said. "Going to a movie, you save $2 or $3 dollars, and that's a day's lunch or a couple extra gallons of gas in my car."
Shelby Gigous, Topeka freshman, said she would take advantage of discounts similar to the current movie theater student discount.
"It's a further effort to work for students to get them tangible things," Marshall said. "Hopefully it will be a success they can see next semester."

Students cited after using tree branch as microphone
By Rob Pazell writer@kansan.com Kansan Staff writer
Four University of Kansas students' singing performance late Thursday night received poor reviews from Lawrence police, who cited one woman for criminal damage to property in front of a shop on Massachusetts Street.
The four women were walking home from downtown when they put on an impromptu performance of "Who Let the Dogs Out." One woman grabbed a branch from a potted tree in front of Englewood Florist, 939 Massachusetts St., and used it as a makeshift microphone.
Gina Matteoni, Olathe senior, said she and her friends were just having a little fun while walking home.
A Lawrence police officer saw the activity, flashed his lights and stopped the group. The officer eventually cited the woman for criminal damage to the plant, and she must now appear in court for the misdemeanor offense.
"We were just joking around," she said. "We were entertaining passers-by, then a cop car pulled up as we were leaving."
Lawrence Police Det. M.T. Brown defended his officers and the property owner.
"Whoever planted the tree might want to know who broke it." Brown said, adding that the officers were well within their bounds to cite the women. "It was his district, and he was there."
Matteoni said the police officer pointed to the wrong person and the officer responded by telling the women, "he knew what he saw."
"We told them this isn't the singer, and he got defensive," Matteoni said. "He talked to the wrong girl, but he didn't care."
Matteoni said she and her friends knew they were being giddy, but she didn't think the behavior was that bad.
"We apologized and knew we were being silly," she said. "We were innocent girls walking home safe, but he still got on his walkie-talkie and called for backup."
Brooke Gugat, Colorado Springs, Colo., senior, said the rest of the group was holding back laughter when she asked the officer for a warning.
"I told him that he should re-evaluate his time on a Thursday night in Lawrence," Gugat said. "He responded saying that they weren't the only two cops in Lawrence. I thought it was pathetic."
Brown said even though the crime could seem insignificant, it was the officer's duty to stop and cite the woman.
"It may fall pretty low on the priority list," Brown said. "But if an officer observes it, he's not going to turn his head."

KU on Wheels to offer free rides to polls
KU on Wheels buses will be free tomorrow and the Transportation Board hopes it will help get more students to the polls to vote.
Holly Krebs, transportation coordinator, said the decision came after one student suggested it to the board. The buses will be free all day and run the normal routes, many of which pass by schools and other polling sites.
"We have no clue what sort of effect this will have," Krebs said. "We felt like this was the best step we can take to help students vote."

Wichita manufacturers seeking employees
WICHTH — A booming general aviation industry has left Raytheon Aircraft Co., Cessna Aircraft Co. and Bombardier Aerospace seeking employees as they try to fill record backlogs of orders and put out new products at a brisk pace.
The three Wichita manufacturers are pulling out all the stops because their ability to meet current demand and grow in the future hinges on their ability to find workers.
Together, the three plane makers figure they will add more than 1,500 jobs in 2001. Cessna plans to add 800 to 1,000 new positions, Raytheon more than 500 and Bombardier will add several hundred.
The majority of the openings are in production areas, such as in sheet metal assembly. The companies also need line assemblers, flight line mechanics, inspectors, upholsterers and avionics technicians.

Wrestler's family settles wrongful death lawsuit
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The family of wrestler Owen Hart, who died in a batched stunt last year, has settled a wrongful death lawsuit against the World Wrestling Federation and the city.
Hart, known as the Blue Blazer,
died May 23, 1999, when he plunged
78 feet after the quick-release mechanism on his harness prematurely opened as he was being lowered into the ring.
The 46-count suit was filed by Hart's widow, two children and his parents, and contended the stunt was dangerous and poorly planned and the harness system was defective.
The settlement, which needs court approval, was filed with the Missouri Court of Appeals. The appeals court had been scheduled to hold a hearing in a dispute over a document in the case.
Absentee ballots could delay election results
SACRAMENTO — A record 3.2 million Californians have requested absentee ballots for tomorrow's election, which could leave the results of close races throughout the state in doubt for days or even weeks.
More than 1 million of those absent tee ballots, or nearly 10 percent of the 12 million votes expected in California, will not be counted on election night, according to county election officials surveyed by The Associated Press.
The election results also could be delayed in New York's contentious Senate race between first lady Hillary Rodham Clinton and Rep. Rick Lazio.
Last week, at the request of both sides, a judge ordered all absentee ballots locked up — unopened and uncounted — until at least Nov. 9, two days after the election.
It could mean a delay in the results but as state Board of Elections spokesman Lee Daghilan put it, the order "eliminates any question that there would be any attempt to stuff the ballot box."
Scientists say corpses can supply brain cells
It turns out even cadavers can supply the incredibly versatile brain stem cells — master cells which can turn into different kinds of brain and nerve cells — once thought available only from fetal tissue.

So can skin. And it appears that just about every bone stem cell can
be tweaked to produce brain cells. Several reports to the Society for Neuroscience seem to offer yet more possible solutions to the ethical dilemma blocking stem cell studies which use human fetal tissue.
But they are not yet solutions and may never be, said McKay and two other scientists who discussed their findings at a news conference yesterday at the society's annual meeting.
Gage's research used bits of tissue taken soon after death from children and young adults who had died of various neurological diseases.
Civilians wounded in Sierra Leone protest
WORLD
FREETOWN, Sierra Leone — U.N. peace keepers and Sierra Leone police opened fire yesterday to disperse hundreds of tire-burning youths demanding the lifting of a cuffw.
British soldiers tried to calm the pre-dawn demonstration stemming from public anger over a spate of armed robberies during curfew hours, which the government of this war-ravaged West African nation has imposed in an effort to prevent rebel attacks.
At least 13 civilians, including two children, were wounded.
The rebels, who have murdered tens of thousands of civilians and intentionally maimed many more in a campaign of terror, renewed Sierra Leone's eight-year civil war in May by advancing on the capital and capturing some 500 U.N. troops.
The 1.3,000-strong peacekeeping force, the world's largest current U.N. deployment, has been riven with organizational problems and infighting. Two major contributors, India and Jordan, have announced they would pull out.
Emperor's funeral held 25 years after his death
ADDIS ABABA, Ethiopia — Bells toled and thousands of Ethiopians wailed and applauded yesterday as Haile Selassie, their last emperor, was finally laid to rest 25 years after his mysterious death.
As leaders of the Ethiopian Orthodox Church stood by, resplendent in their colorful robes, elderly veterans of Ethiopia's 1936 to 1941 struggle against Italian occupation carried the coffin — draped in the nation's red, green and gold flag — up the steps of Trinity Cathedral.
The emperor's family, friends and associates embraced at their first public gathering since 1974, when he was overthrown by Marxist military officers.

New CLAS listserv aims to inform
By Jennifer Valadez writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
College of Liberal Arts and Sciences administrators are hoping a new listserv will be effective in informing students about academic information.
Students in the college should be getting e-mails in the next few weeks letting them know they have been added to the list.
Sam Christy-Dangermond, college reports specialist who worked with Academic Computing Services to create the list, said it would provide students with information about academic deadlines such as class withdrawal, credit/no credit dates and graduation information.
"It's an easy, accessible way to distribute information to students," she said. "It seems like email has become a great way of communicating, and we hope students will get a lot out of it."
Pam Houston, director of college undergraduate services, said the
list was designed because college administrators wanted to prevent students from missing important deadlines.
"Through the years, we see too many students coming in too late," she said. "It's just as upsetting to us as well as students that we can't help them the way we're supposed to."
Cindy Terrazas, Leoti sophmore, said the list would be useful in distributing academic information.
"It sounds like a good idea, and it will be really helpful to people in the college," she said. "I like being informed and aware of these sort of things."
Christy-Dangermond said prior to establishing the listserv, the college had attempted to reach students through mass e-mails. However, she said it proved to be inconvenient because some students were receiving the same message more than once. But a listserv eliminates duplicate email addresses.
"With the list, we can control the distribution of information to a mass amount of people," she said.
Christy-Dangermond said there would be four lists, dividing undergraduate students in the college by level in order to distribute information accordingly.
Houston emphasized the college was not using the list to distribute junk mail and students would have the option to unsubscribe to the list.
"This is just another avenue to send important academic information," she said. "We want this to be the least intrusive way to reach students and will be using it sparingly, but we hope effectively."
Amber Sellers, Wichita sophomore, said the list was a good idea but felt the college administration should find additional ways to reach out to students.
"The administration should do programs for all students to meet and discuss what's going on in the college," she said.

Want to know who's going to win the election? Read on. Looking at the debates is a good place to start.
Bush chose not to immerse himself in the specifics of policy so much as offer a broad philosophy and vision; his rhetoric, while far from bumbling, was indeed plain. He took a low-key approach. David Gergen, an old wiseman type who has worked for both Democratic and Republican presidents, even said Bush looked "sleepy."
Gore certainly gave the impression that he was smart – in an overbearing and often rude way. Those who misread the debate might have seen competence and aggression.
ing "knowledge and intellectual depth" and opined that his "uneven, lackadaisical performance through most of the campaign, capped by some of the least impressive debate performances in memory, raise questions about how well prepared Bush might be for the Oval Office and, frankly, how much he really wants the job."
Bush's lead has been small but steady since those head-to-head meetings, and my own theory is that the discerning and perhaps unconsciously wise electorate shares my own view of the debates.
Wise? The editors of *The Kansas City Star* certainly think not. In its editorial endorsing the Vice President, the Star lambasted Bush as lack-

debates that showed Vice President Gore consistently ahead.
Gore could probably spew forth more numbers concerning the intricacies of the federal budget than could Bush, thereby proving his superior "knowledge and intellectual depth." Of course, it also confirms what most have suspected of Gore all along: that he is wokish and weird and fails to decipher the forest from the trees. The forest in this case is a confident, guiding philosophy of government yielding sound judgment — not position papers. Clinton/Gore governing judgment has always been an extension of campaign strategy.
This view is not altogether incorrect. Gore admittedly yells louder at rallies. Is this a good thing?
In other words, voters prefer Bush because he holds no aspiration to churn out complex analysis of policy. His calm, good-natured demeanor and a rhetoric of principle rather than specifics communicates two messages: that he is a transparently good man and that his judgment can be trusted. Bush, for instance, opposes the government taxing any more than one-third of any individual's income. He opposes higher tax rates because to tax any greater percentage is wrong. The people nod collectively.
The Star has endorsed him because he would make a fine city manager. But the people do not want a manager, they want a president.
The news media fight off brain cramps reconciling the fact that while voters seem to favor Gore on the issues, they say they will vote for Bush. Experts shrug and chalk it up to Bush's "likeability," but it goes deeper than this. Voters like Bush because he is a balanced, normal man and they suspect Congress, aides and foreign leaders will like and respect him. They also suspect the two-term governor with a Harvard MBA and experience flying sophisticated warplanes is not a moron.
The lessons bequeathed to the country by our current leader should serve as sufficient instruction that unusual desire for power and extraordinary intelligence are irrelevant as indicators for presidential fitness. Decisions and leadership skill flow from character, judgment and philosophy — not IQ. Presidents should be chosen based on the same.
The people must choose rulers based not only on what the candidates say they know about issues, but also on what kinds of decision-makers they would be when faced with the unexpected. Will memorizing facts in a memo help Al Gore lead the country into a necessary but unpopular war? Will it help him to rally. inspire — lead?

Perspective
Nader supporters waste time tweaking kansan.com poll
W with the 2000 presidential election ending tomorrow, the Green party has scored a victory in polls
They won a resounding 93 percent of the
vote in the kansan.com poll, as you can see above.
Aside from that, we see that, as in other polls, Bush and Gore remain deadlocked, although in this poll they're tied at two percent.
My God, how will they recover in time?
We also see that voter apathy has disappeared, with every single visitor to kansan.com planning to cast a ballot in the presidential race.
I'd have to give that poll a margin of error of, oh, 90 percent. Maybe I'm just being paranoid, but I think the poll may have been adjusted.

While I appreciate the fact that the Nader brigade is devoted enough and thought the kansan.com poll was influential enough to warrant over 4,000 votes, I still didn't vote for Nader on Friday.
I have a little trouble voting for someone whose minions encourage this sort of
Results, of course, are not scientific. Numbers don't add up to 100 because of rounding.

fuzzy math. And somehow, I don't think these absurdly distorted numbers are going to change anyone's mind.
Besides, there are better, quicker, more effective ways to get your word out. The fact of the matter is the Green Party has tried everything and it is not going to win. The chance of hitting that magic five percent when it earns federal matching funds in the next election is sketchy at best.
How would Nader have liked it if I had spliced a kansan.com logo into a Green Party TV commercial?
Either way, I don't particularly appreciate having the site screwed with.
Really, it's even sadder than the majorpart last-ditch efforts of the last week, the decades-old Gore-Phelps photos and Bush's 25-year-old conviction for driving under the influence of alcohol.
It realizes that, like it or not, the twoparty system is going to be in place for at least one more election.
Speaking of which, next week's kansan.com poll is about whether a prior conviction should be relevant to a candidate's capacity to hold public office.
All this silly poll manuevering can be described as an act of desperation.
As always, kansan.com encourages you to voice your opinion by voting.

Editorial
Commission should reject housing plan
Lawrence City Commission should follow planners' vote against proposed ordinance.
The Planning Commission wisely questioned the ability of the city to enforce the proposed ordinance. Serious inconsistencies in the ordinance's enforcement could lead to discrimination against students or nonstudents. Lawrence is home to many people who aren't students, work full-time and live in households of more than two people. The Planning Commission said the city should enforce laws already in place before adding new ones.
The Lawrence City Commission should take note of the Planning Commission's vote Wednesday that would protect the housing of University of Kansas students and the vibrancy of the Lawrence community. In a 5-3 decision, the Planning Commission voted to recommend that the city not adopt a proposed housing ordinance that would limit the number of unrelated persons living together from four to two in single-family neighborhoods.
Of benefit to both students and Lawrence residents was the Planning Commission's unanimous decision to investigate parking regulations, landlord registration and city-code enforcement. Before pinning the problem of run-down housing on students, the city should do a better job of forcing landlords to maintain the buildings they own. After all, the larger pattern of disrepair that some neighborhoods have fallen into is the result of landlord negligence.
It is important to maintain the vibrancy of neighborhoods in the center of town, for families and students. But harmonious housing doesn't have to come at the expense of any one group.
The large number of students who attended the Planning Commission's meeting on Wednesday showed that students care about their rights and their effect within the community. Lawrence is a vibrant community because of the interaction between KU students and residents. The City Commission should not let the proposed housing ordinance change our community for the worse.

Experiences shape graduate's book

Kansan staff writer
Laura Moriarty is blending her life experiences with a little bit of fiction as she works on a coming-of-age novel set in a town based on Lawrence.
When Moriarty came to the University of Kansas, she wanted to become a doctor. But the KU graduate is focusing solely on writing for one year at Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, N.H.
She was awarded with the George Bennett Writing Fellowship this year.
"I have all this time to think and work," she said. "It's really wonderful and I'm trying to make the most of it."
Morlarty said the novel dealt with the learning experiences of "Annabelle Bucknow," the main character who is told at a young age
by a teacher that she's "blessed" because of her intelligence.
"Because of her age, she takes more stock in it as she should," Moriarty said. "The rest of the book has her realizing, as she grows up, that she hasn't been blessed."
She said she got the idea for the main character from the people she encountered while working in Kansas City, Kan., and Lawrence as a social worker.
readers in their late teens into adulthood.
"I got ideas for the story from social work, but also from writing other stories," said Moriarty, who earned a bachelor of social welfare in Social Work and a master's in English at KU. "Some of the story is from my life, and some is not."
The story is based in the fictitious town of Kerrville, which Moriarty said was modeled after Lawrence.
"It's not like a 'Sweet Valley High' book or others like that," Moriarty
She described the book as mainstream fiction that would appeal to
She said she couldn't give an exact description as to what the book was about.
"When people ask what it's about, I worry when I can't tell them exactly." she said. "But
Yours sincerely
Mrs.
Moriarty: wrote a novel set in a town based on Lawrence
then I think of the books I've read and can see that they're not as easily figured out either."
Moriarty said the book was being
edited, in part by KU professors, and would be finished by the end of the year. She has not yet decided on a title.
Bill Ewing, Phillips Exeter Academy representative, said Moriarty had been a positive asset to the program at the academy.
"She's a very approachable and enthusiastic person who relates well with the students," he said. "She'll be a great resource for writers here in offering feedback."
Tom Lorenz, an English department associate chair who has helped edit the book, said he enjoyed working with Moriarty.
"She's really bright and talented and is open to changes in the work," he said. "When she's finally finished with it, I think it's going to be published. It's extremely funny and very human."

Standards to take effect in 2001
also replaces foreign language in the out-of-state curriculum criteria, could be reconsidered by the state legislature, Cerveny said.
"The state was somewhat progressive in saying, 'We want to make sure our students who go to college know how to use computers,'" he said. "But what I think we're finding is that most students have had computer technology not in high school or even middle school, but in elementary school."
The requirement also can be met through a proficiency exam. Standards for out-of-state admission have not changed — nonresidents still must complete the college prep track with a 2.5
GPA, score a 24 on the ACT or a 1090 on the SAT, or rank in the top third of their class.
The new standards were approved by the State Legislature in 1996, but the legislation made the class of 2001 the first to be admitted to Kansas universities with qualified admissions.
This year's applicants were just entering high school at the time, so they were the first class to have enough advance notice about the new requirements to prepare for them in high school. Cerveny said.
The six universities operating under the new standards are KU, Kansas State, Emporia State, Fort Hays State, Pittsburg State and Wichita State.

Williams happy with team effort

Like the Emporia State players who made the 80-mile drive with him, Corky, the Hornet mascot, just couldn't get his head on straight Saturday night.
Because of an error in manufacturing, the only way the student wearing the giant bee's head could see was to slant the hornet's mouth up, making the bee stare at the Allen Fieldhouse ceiling.
Unfortunately for Emporia State, Corky wasn't the only Hornet caught stargazing
So Corky stood in the southeast corner of the fieldhouse all night long, his head reared back, his giant plastic eyes gazing at the rafters above.

The Jayhawks led from beginning to end, helping the Jayhawks rack up one of their largest margins of victory.
Indeed, nothing could go wrong for Kansas, which shot 63 percent from the floor and hardly broke a sweat in its victory against the Hornets, a Division II team.
"A lot of fun things went on," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "I still think we gained something from it, but it was one of those weird nights. (Senior forward) Kenny Gregory banks one from the corner for three and misses a dunk, and those are two things that don't usually happen. But we had some good performances and I think we gained something from this

game."
Saturday's game was one of the wellrounded team efforts that Williams praises.
While senior forward Luke Axtell led the Jayhawks with 19 points, six other Kansas players — Gregory, senior center Eric Chenowith, junior guard Jeff Boschee, sophomore forwards Nick Collison and Drew Gooden and freshman guard Mario Kinsey — also tallied double digit scores in the rout.
Boscheh hit all five of his three point attempts, a complete contrast to his 2-of-9 shooting performance in the Jayhawks' first exhibition on Wednesday.
"It was just one of those nights when my shot was feeling good," he said. "I think my legs weren't under me in the first game, and that was the difference. And tonight was more a game-like situation. It's likely you won't be able to do that every night, but it's great when you can."
Still, Williams said the spread-out scoring and the statistical dominance — such as the Hornets' 25 percent shooting — said more about the caliber of the competition and less about the Jayhawks.
"We're more gifted," he said. "We have better size, speed and quickness, and it's hard to shoot the ball against taller and quicker players."
Kansas plays its first regular season game on Thursday night against UCLA in New York City.

Nebraska obliterates injury-laden Kansas

Saturday's 56-17 win against Kansas was an execution.
By Jason Franchuk
sports@kansan.com
LINCOLN, Neb. — If Nebraskans side with George W. Bush and Bush sides with the death penalty, then there can be no confusion where Cornhusker football fans stand on the issue.
Three hundred-yard rushers, 506 yards of total offense and Nebraska playing after its first loss of the season was more than enough to suck the life out of Kansas.
It was capital punishment in Nebraska's capital city. Kansas was shut out in two out of the last three meetings. But the Jayhawks had no problem pointing this one out as the most lopsided loss.
"In my four years, that was the most dominating Nebraska football team that I have seen," Kansas coach Terry Allen said. "They just totally took it to us offensively."
The game's tone was summed up in the first five minutes. The Jayhawks went three-and-out on their first drive and punted. Nebraska had six consecutive rushes from Dan Alexander and capped the drive with a one-yard touchdown from quarterback Eric Crouch. Nebraska could run through or around the Jayhawks' defense. Kansas simply had no options to stop Nebraska.

nose guard Nate Dwyer said. "We'd line up in one thing, Crouch would come to the line and audible to something else. It was like they were one step ahead of us all day."
The loss was painful both figuratively and literally. Six Jayhawks left the game early with injuries. Along with Dwyer (knee bruise), junior defensive back Andrew Davison (neck injury), junior offensive linebacker Algie Atkinson (lower bruise), junior defensive end Ervin Holloman (stinger), senior offensive tackle John Oddonetto (right ankle sprain) and senior running back David Winbush (right ankle sprain) all left early.
Kansas, 4-5 with two games remaining, must win Saturday's game against Texas to keep bowl-eligibility hopes alive. Senior fullback Moran Norris, who Allen was very optimistic about in the days leading up to the game, was not able to play. He participated in pregame drills with his ankle heavily taped, but did not make sufficient progress to play. Instead, freshman fullback Reggie Duncan rushed 11 times for 96 yards and one touchdown.
But he was not fooled by the success. Most of it came in the second half, when Nebraska was already giving its hordes of backups a chance to play.
It was not a quick, painless death. It took
three hours and 10 minutes on ABC for plenty to watch.
"We got us served an old-fashioned butt whipping." Duncan said.

yhawks get hard-fought revenge against Bears
by carla warner
Sports Columnist
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team's post-match sub sandwiches had a mild taste of revenge after an exhausting three-game shutout against Baylor on Saturday.
After falling to the Bears in five games earlier this season in Waco, Texas, the Jayhawks fought their way to a 16-14, 15-6, 15-12 victory at the Horelli Family Athletic Center.
"It was just revenge." said Jennifer Kraft, sophomore defensive specialist. "We executed our game plan perfectly."
Kansas 3
Baylor 0
(16-14, 15-6, 15-12)
Being defense-oriented not only allowed the Jayhawks to discourage the Bears in the numbers game, but also allowed the team to control Baylor's freshman phenomenon Stevie Nicholas. Nicholas, an outside hitter, leads the Big 12
"Against Baylor we wanted to out-dig them," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We had $3 digs to their 50, so that was huge for us."
The Jayhawks' game plan was to beat the Bears at their strength defense.
Nicholas ended the match with 16 kills and 11 digs. Her sister, junior middle blocker Sunny Nicholas, was second for the Bears in kills with 10.
Conference in kills per game with 5.76. She had 25 kills when Baylor and Kansas last met Sept. 27.
"We made her earn her kills in game one and two," Bechard said.
The Bears focused heavily on senior outside hitter Amy Myatt, whose 28 kills in their earlier meeting almost cost Baylor the match.
The task of killing the ball shifted to the opposite side of the court and into Nancy Bell's waiting hands.
"Bell was outstanding today,"
Bechard said. "She had 17 kills and 18 dies."
Indeed, the senior outside hitter led the Jayhawks in kills and digs and finished a close second in hitting percentage with 457.
Second to Bell in kills was senior middle blocker Daniel Geronymo, who brought in 13 kills and a team-topping. 600 hitting percentage.

These skills were especially important in several off-kilter latters where it seemed that every player was diving for a ball.
"It was a team effort," Bell said. "We were executing skills that we hadn't been executing in practice."
lies than we have (this season)." Bechard said. "They just keep coming at you."
Now, after coming out on top two matches in a row, the 'Hawks are ready to teach another lesson in revenge in Lubock, Texas, and possibly make their way to the NCAA tournament.
The Jayhawks are now 13-11 and 6-9 in the Big 12 going into Wednesday's road game at Texas Tech. Kansas fell to the Red Raiders in another close one — a five-game loss — right after it fell to Baylor.

"We need a winning record to get to the NCAAs," Kraft said. "So any game we can take right now is important."

Football-crazed Lincoln makes columnist glad to return home
The rest of the weekend went downhill from there.
LINCOLN, Neb. — I saw a gorgeous blonde who was half-naked during the first 30 minutes I was in Lincoln.
Lincoln isn't exactly hell, but it's not purgatory either. If it weren't for the Cornhuskers, these people might eat each other alive. But the Cornhuskers are for real, so there is peace in the city.
Oh, I suppose I should explain the partially-nude woman. Jason Franchuk, the Kansan's football reporter, and I went to do some indepth investigative reporting on the drinking establishments in Lincoln. We found a parking space, and I hopped out of Franchuk's jeep. Boom — half-naked woman.
on, IMemory, so she said,
So I'm thinking
Lincoln is great. The women are
gorgeous, partially clothed and
even polite.
I think she was using the parking lot for a restroom, and then strolled over to the jeep to greet us before remembering to pull her pants back up.
After she put her pants back on,
she introduced herself and told me
I was her new friend. She wanted me
to go to the next bar with her,
but if anyone was to ask, I was
supposed to say I was from Iowa, not
Kansas.
Meanwhile, back home, our attendance dropped from the week we beat Colorado to the week we played Texas Tech. As much as I can't stand George W. Bush, I'm reminded of fuzzy math. And go ahead and call my sports editor and tell her I'm a liberal. See if I care.
Doesn't matter, there was a record crowd this week.
I don't care how attractive a woman is; I'm not about to tell anyone I'm from Iowa. So we ditched her once we found the nearest bar. The rest of the women I met in
Lincoln all wore pants, by the way.
That's enough about naked women. What about Nebraska football?
Nebraska football should be called Nebraska life. This is a place where old "Husker coaches don't retire, they just run for elected office. Exactly 78,096 people packed Memorial Stadium, and I counted about 12 people who weren't wearing red or white. Eric Crouch is a football god, the fans are his parishioners and the stadium is his temple. This was the 238th consecutive sellout, and the view from the press box was dizzying.
Is it just me, or did Nebraska lose to Oklahoma last week?
Did you know you can buy a Nebraska hat with any player's number on it? You can buy a No. 1 hat if you're an I-back Thunder Collins fan, a No. 10 hat if you like backup quarterback Jammal Lord, or even a No. 99 hat for left rush end Adrian Warrior.
I think if Kansas football did this, the only hats they'd sell is to the players' moms.
If you watched five minutes of the game, you got the gist of it.
Dylen Smith threw the ball well for the most part, and his receivers did their best to get open. David Winbush lost almost a yard every time he touched the ball.
Nebraska never hunted. Not once.
Nebraska never punted. Not once.
There's another thing you should know about Lincoln. The bars close there at i.a.m. I guess it has something to do with Nebraska being a communist state.
They're pretty caught up in it too. Many of the people there wear shirts proclaiming their allegiance to the "Big Red."
Man, I'm glad to be home.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 6). If at first you don't succeed, try another tactic. Don't take a risk with your savings in October or November, either. The money's coming in, but it sure can slip through your fingers fast in December. In February, stick with what you've got, even if it's not what you want. By March you and a loved one will find new options. The old-fashioned ways work best in May, and you might strike it rich from an old well around June. It's a win by July; you've worried enough by then. Count your blessings and give thanks in October.
Aries (March 21-April 19) - Today is a 5.
Expect confusion and change relating to money. You could experience a financial loss regarding an overseas deal or the purchase of an import. Turn this potential loss into profit by heeding an older person's advice.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) - Today is a 7.
Your plans with friends could go awry. If you're stubborn enough to keep going, you may still achieve your goals. The longer you hang on, the more likely you are to get what you want.
Semini (May 21-June 21) - Today is a 5.
You're generally lucky, but don't push your luck now. An annoying co-worker is probably right. Do whatever needs to be done and cooperate with everyone. Share your feelings and stand up for your rights some other time.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) - Todav is an 8.
Even though things go wrong for others, you'll land buttered side up. Trust your intuition in a difficult situation. It could help you get around a traffic jam or a log jam, and that could save you lots of time and money.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) - Today is a 6.
You may want something special for your home, but take care. Do a lot of shopping if other people's money is involved. That includes the bank's. Everybody's telling you what to do, but you're the one who has to live with your decision.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) - Today is a 7.
16-29, 3-17, 22 - Today is a 7.
Friends might steer you in the right direction, and you need all the help you can get. Should you work more? Spend more? Play or study? Maybe you should forget it all and take a bike tour of Europe.
Wanna know what to do? Ask your mom.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 5.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) - Today is a 5.
Work interferes with travel today and might even keep you from going to lunch with a dear friend.
Do errands another time, too. You should make big bucks, though, and that makes it all worth while.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) - Today is an 8.
If you're worried enough about losing money, you may try to make some, instead. You could turn a tidy profit today, through a combination of skill and luck. Yes, you might have to pull a few strings.
You're good at that.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) - Today is an 8.
This is a hectic day at work. Everybody's trying out new ideas, most of which don't work. Before you waste more time, consult a person who he's been here before. Experience pays. Use somebody else's
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) - Today is a 5.
Your first suggestion may not work, and your second idea could flop, too. Instead of getting depressed, ask for input. A person who's been nagging at you might be right. Let go of foolish pride and do what works.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) - Today is a 5.
A fool and his or her money are soon parted.
Don't let that be you today. Don't make a loan that
will never be repaid. Stop pouring money down a
hole. It's OK if you end up with some in your pocket.
That isn't cheating.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 7.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) - Today is a 7.
Everybody may demand a lot from you, but you're not alone. A far-away friend is feeding you helpful information. It's like having your own teleprompter. Don't be scared, even if the stakes are high. The odds are in your favor.

Crider: was the only Jayhawk not to play Saturday.
Sull, Kansas coach Roy Williams insisted Crider wasn't going anywhere.
"I just chose not to play him," he said, when pressed for an explanation at the post-game press conference.
But when a small group of reporters pestered him afterward for
Y
further explanation, Williams grew more defensive,
"I stated it before, I just didn't feel like playing him," he said. "As far as you know, I could have chosen not to play him because he spilled steak sauce on my pants, or something like that. If something happens, I'll let you know."
A Horton native, Crider is the only in-state scholarship player on the Jayhawk roster. He was not available for comment after the game.
Decisions imminent for Kansas recruits
Keith Langford, a 6-foot-4 forward/guard from Crowley, Texas, sat behind the Kansas bench Saturday night and smiled when the fieldhouse faithful started chanting, "We want Langford."
There was no official word on a Langford commitment as of late Sunday night, even though it was rumored his commitment to Kansas was imminent.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be
read for entertainment purposes only.
Meanwhile, another Jayhawk recruit, 6-foot guard Aaron Miles of Portland, Ore., has scheduled a press conference for 1.
The return of five starters and coach Roy Williams wasn't enough to place Kansas atop the first ESPN/USA Today coaches' poll released Thursday night.
Arizona received a verbal commitment yesterday from Chicago's 5-10 point guard Will Bynum, opening the door for Miles' commitment to Kansas.
Duke, which knocked Kansas out of the NCAA Tournament last season, returns four starters and is ranked second in the poll. Stanford checked in at third; North Carolina, fresh off a surprising run to the 2000 Final Four, is ranked fourth; and defending national champion Michigan State came in fifth.
Arizona got the nod for the top spot for the second time in four years. The Wildcats feature star senior forward Loren Woods and return all five starters from last season's 27-7 team.
The Jayhawks are just behind the Spartans at sixth in the poll. Maryland, Tennessee, Illinois and Seton Hall round out the top ten.
The only other team in the poll from the Big 1.2 Conference is Iowa State, which is ranked No. 23. Fellow conference teams Missouri, Oklahoma State and Texas received votes in the poll but will begin the season unranked.

'Hawks beat Wildcats in fall's last regatta
ROWING
The Kansas rowing team beat Kansas State 15-11 for its second straight Sunflower Showdown victory Saturday at Burcham Park.
Saturday, the Wildcats finished with a 6-minute, 41.6 time, roughly four seconds ahead of the Jayhawks (6:45.7), K-State had a four-seat lead on Kansas for most of the race.
Still, some Jayhawks weren't exuberant after the regatta. The first varsity eight boat lost to Kansas State for the first time since April 1998.
The 'Hawks had won four straight in that event, twice in both fall and spring seasons.
Kansas had victories in five events; the second varsity eight (5 points), first novice eight (5), varsity four (3), novice four (1) and the third novice eight (1).
Although her boat couldn't put more icing on the Kansas cake, first varsity coxswain Jen Page said her boat's loss would motivate her rowers.
The Sunflower Showdown was a change of pace for both teams. Fall seasons primarily consist of three-mile head regattas with winding curves. Saturday's race was a 2,000-meter sprint race, identical to spring racing, when the NCAA championships occur.
Kansas coach Rob Catthot said he saw the regatta as an opportunity to improve the rowers' technique and gain experience.

"Our loss just makes us work that much harder, Page said. "Everybody will be thinking about it all winter long."
The Sunflower Showdown was the last regatta of the fall season for Kansas.

third round loss to fourth-seeded Alena Jeinkimov of Kansas State, 6-2, 6-1
Also on the singles side, junior Sekulov advanced to the third round before losing to the third seed, Alexsandra Durska of Tulsa, 6-2, 6-4.
No Kansas doubles team made it past the third round. Freshman Emily Haylock and sophomore Kim Lorenz pulled off a second-round upset against 11th-seeded Cassie Kasteler and Brooke Wilkinson of Utah, 8-6. But they couldn't overcome the eighth-seeded Melissa Mendieta and Viviana Mracnoca of Oklahoma, falling 9-7 in the third round.
Brandon Stinnett
The women's team received a pair of victories from sophomore Beth Schryer in the 500 and 1,000 freestyle events but lost to the Tigers 170-130. The men's team also got two victories from sophomore Brian Soria and swept the 500 and 1,000 freestyles, but also lost 181-119.
Three juniors also pulled in victories for the women. Junior Sarah Holke won the 200 butterfly, junior Carrie Kirchman captured the 100 free title and junior Rebecca McFall won the one-meter springboard competition.
The Kansas swimming and diving team had several impressive individual performances but came up short as a team against Missouri on Saturday in Columbia, Mo.
"We had a hard week of training and really came out and raced, but Missouri just had a better day," said Kansas women's coach Cathy Burgess. "We won five events and did well really in the distance races, but you need to win more than five events to win a dual meet."

Hornets cherish small victories
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
When Division II Emporia State came to Allen Fieldhouse to play projected Top 10 Kansas, coach Marc Comstock didn't think his team had a chance of winning. It didn't.
"We don't even consider that as an option," Comstock said. "What we tried to do was find some small victories and tried to play the game in segments from timeout to timeout and see how we did in that segment."
"Obviously, it's a tough environment for any team, but we don't play in front of 16,000 people in a full year." Comstock said. "It's a tough way to start with a new team and a young team to come into an environment like this and have much success."
The exhibition was the Emporia State's first game of the season. There are just four returnees to the Hornets squad, slated ninth out of 10 in its conference. If that's not enough adversity, the rowdy crowd of 16,300 fans made the task even more difficult.
The crowd welcomed Emporia State loudly and let the Hornets hear it when their shots were off the mark. No one was yelled at more than Hornet junior Matt Haynes, whose first-half air ball made him the target of fans' harassment. He said he didn't
Small victories aside, the Jayhawks mauled the Hornets 120-61.
au Marché the European market 19 W. 9th St.
mind the heckling.
"It was my little way of knowing they were acknowledging me," Haynes said. "I'll never play in a situation like this. You have to cherish this moment."
Haynes earned his moments to cherish, too. After enduring "air ball" chants for half the game, he knocked down a pair of three-pointers in the second half. Haynes finished the game 3-15 from the field.
Center Brad Emme was another player who had some moments of glory despite his on-court challenge. He blocked a shot by Eric Chenowith and another by Drew Gooden before fouling out after playing just 12 total minutes. He was also 1-3 from the field.
"I think if you do anything good against us, if you're a Division II school, it's got to give you a lot of confidence," Chenowith said. "If they know they can do something well against Kansas then they know they can do it well against anybody."
"Eric Chenowith was my biggest challenge." Emme said. "A lot of my teammates had been giving me crap and were telling me that Chenowith was going to dunk on me. I told them he wasn't. I just wanted to show them that I wasn't all talk. Sure, I fouled out early, but it was a great experience."
Chenwith said he thought Emporia State could learn a lot from its experience and apply what it learned during the season.
"This is a thrill for our guys," Comstock said. "Our in-staters dream of getting out there and playing in front of 16,000 people. They'll remember this game more than they'll remember any other game they play at Emporia State. I'm sure they all had somebody tape the game for them."
Comstock said despite the height disadvantage and intimidating atmosphere, his team enjoyed its visit to Allen Fieldhouse.

State Representative Forty Fourth
"We're having a ball." Goodman said Wednesday morning, only hours before Normal, Ohio would make its bow. It airs on Fox at 7:30 p.m.
Goodman is an actor people love. His warmest reception was enjoyed as Dan Conner, the family man on ABC's Roseanne.
NEW YORK—Just out, the reviews were awful. Reports of trouble had dogged John Goodman's embryonic sitcom for months.
Now, three years after Roseanne left the air, Goodman is back with another TV series. This time, he plays a husband and father who left home after realizing he is gay.
Joely Fisher and her push-up bra portray Butch's sister. Orson Bean is his homophobic father. Mo Gaffney plays his bitter, remarried ex-wife. And that's just a sample of what Butch is walking into.
The Associated Press
Goodman returns in unusual sitcom
"He has had a very rough time with his sexuality and the guilt that came with hurting the people he loved." Goodman said.
"Now he has come back to try to make amends. But his family has to understand that it's nobody's fault. It's not a lifestyle choice, it just is. And then we see how many laughs we can have with that."
Normal, Ohio even is shot on the same Los Angeles studio lot where, for nearly a decade, Goodman reported for work on Roseanne.
"We had a ball on Roseanne, goofing around every day," he said. "I'd see if I could get Roseanne to pee in her pants, laughing so hard."
Cheered by the memory, he reached back further, back to his years at Southwest Missouri State College. It was there he first threw himself into acting, where theater consumed the former jock.
His thought trailed off. He managed a laugh. "It's only a TV show."
"Doors started opening, secrets started being discovered." Goodman recalled, almost mystically. "A lot of that magic is gone now. I miss it."

'Hawks reflect on successes
By Yoishitaka Ebisawa sports@kansan.com
Kanson writerspirit
Asked if this past season was the most successful in the Kansas women's soccer team's six-year history, coach Mark Francis started to ponder.
And there was a good reason for the second-ear coach to think.
On paper, Kansas, who ended the season Wednesday with a 7-11-2 record, doesn't seem as successful as last year's team, which set or matched school records in wins (8), home wins (5), conference wins (3), points (87) and assists (29).
But these numbers don't tell how the Jahwacks played this year.
"I think we were more competitive this year, even in the games we lost," Francis said. "A lot of games we lost in the conference, we lost by a goal. Yeah, I would say this was a better year for us overall than last year. Obviously in the conference, we finished one place higher than we did last year and we made the tournament, which we didn't do last year."
Qualifying for the Big 12 Tournament had been the team's goal since the Big 12 Conference established the postseason tournament in 1996, but Kansas didn't achieve the goal until this year when the Hawks finished eighth in the conference.
Although the Jayhawks lost to
Nebraska 4-0 in the first round, the 'Hawks battled hard and held the No. 3 Cornhuskers scoreless until the 54 minute.

lost 4-0 to Illinois two days later. Francis said after the Illinois game it was hard to imagine this was the same Kansas team that was on the field against Northwestern.
One of the most consistent contributors to the team was senior forward Colleen Colvin, who played all 20 contests and led the team with 14 points on five goals and four assists. Colvin, who also holds team records in career points and goals, said the 2000 season was her best season in four years.
"My freshman year was pretty strong but we didn't have as good of a team as we have this year," she said. "This is the best team I've played on."
At the other end of the field, Brown, who transferred from Portland before the 2000 spring semester, started all 20 games and had an award-winning year.
Brown said the team's first trip to the postseason tournament would help the Jayhawks rise to the next level.
"The experience each one of us gained will help us be more focused next year," she said. "Not only have we realized what it takes to make it to the tournament but also how important it is to win games within the season."

Big 12 Football Cornhusker rushers quell Jayhawks
By Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Going into Saturday's game against Nebraska, the Kansas football team knew what it had to do to win.
The Jayhawks' best chance for victory was to get ahead of the Cornhuskers early and force them to abandon their powerful running game in favor of a catch-up passing attack.
It didn't happen.
The No. 4 'Huskers (8-1, 5-1 Big 12 Conference) scored the first five times they had the ball and jumped out to a 35-3 halftime advantage. Nebraska ran for 281 yards in the first half while holding the Jayhawks to 1 net yard rushing.
By the end of the game, Nebraska had amassed 507 yards rushing, completed seven of the eight attempted passes and rolled to a 56-17 win against the Jayhawks (4-5, 2-4).
127 yards on 13 carries and scored four touchdowns.
Three Cornhuskers finished with 100 yards or more rushing. Quarterback Eric Crouch ran the option effectively and finished with
35
Running back Dan Alexander, who weighs 245 pounds, ran with power through the Kansas defense and gained 119 yards rushing on 15 carries. Correll Buckhalter, Alexander's backup, rushed 16 times for 100 yards.
The Jayhawks' running game was hampered by the absence of senior fullback Moran Norris, who said his injured ankle kept him out of his second consecutive game.
"I just couldn't go today," he said. "But there's two games left, and hopefully I'll be able to go in those."
Nebraska running back Dan Alexander pushes past Kansas' defense. He gained 119 yards rushing on 15 carries Saturday in Lincoln, Neb. Photo by Aaron Lindberg/KANSAN
Kansas senior quarterback Dylen Smith, who ran for 29 yards, said the Jayhawks anticipated that Norris would miss the game.
"We prepared like he wasn't going to play." Smith said.
Senior running back David Winbush injured his ankle fairly early, stayed in the game for a while and finished with only six carries for negative 5 yards.
The Jayhawks' running game had a bright spot. Redshirt freshman Reggie Duncan, Wnbush's backup.
broke away for a 34-yard run in the fourth quarter and accumulated 96 yards rushing. Some of his yardage came after Nebraska began rotating its second-team defenders into the game.
Duncan said he had been ready to
play Nebraska.
"I knew I was going to play," he said. "Coach talked to me earlier in the week. With Moran's injury, I knew I was going to be able to get in to play."

the Longhorns led 26-17.
No. 19 Texas 29, Texas Tech 17
Stockton tied a school record by kicking five field goals.
Texas running back back Hodges Mitchell run for 292 yards and two touchdowns, helping No. 19 Texas rally from a third-quarter deficit and overcome Texas Tech 29-17 in Lubbock, Texas, on Saturday night.
Texas quarterback Major Applewhite left the game in the third quarter because of an injured knee.
Red Raider running back Ricky Williams had put Texas Tech (6-4, 2-4 Big 12 Conference) ahead 17-16 when he scored on a 1 yard run with 10:35 to play in the third quarter.
The Longhorns (7,2, 5-1) regained the lead on Kris Stockton's 36-yard field goal on the next series. Mitchell scored on a 14-yard run with 2.07 remaining in the third quarter, and

No. 18 Kansas State 56, Iowa State 10
Kansas State (6-2, 4-2) made Iowa State (6-3, 3-3) look bad in Manhattan on Saturday.
The Wildcats will play No. 4 Nebraska on Saturday in Manhattan. The winner of that game will likely capture the Big 12 North championship.
The Cyclones, who had already clinched their first winning season since 1989, were never in the game—the Wildcats scored early and often. K-State's Josh Scooby ran for 149 vards and four touchdowns.
No. 23 Texas A&M 21, Oklahoma State 16
Texas A&M (7-2, 5-1) stopped Oklahoma State (2-6, 0-5) at the Aggie 15-yard line with 37 seconds to play, hanging on to win in Stillwater, Okla.
Cowboy Gabe Lindsay returned a punt 57 yards for a touchdown in the fourth quarter, but the Cowboys failed on a 2-point conversion attempt and still trailed 21-16 with 8:41 to play.
Texas A&M plays No.1 Oklahoma in College Station, Texas, on Saturday.
No. 1.Oklahoma 56, Baylor 7
Oklahoma (8-0, 5-0) and the best team in the Big 12, had little trouble against Baylor (2-7, 0-6), possibly the worst team in the Big 12.
Oklahoma quarterback Josh
Heupel passed for 314 yards and three touchdowns in the first half, helping the Sooners to a 42-0 halftime lead against Baylor in Waco, Texas.
The Bears have now lost 19 consecutive Big 12 games and have scored only one offensive touchdown in their last five games.
Colorado 28, Missouri 18
The Buffaloes scored 21 points as a result of three Tiger turnovers.
Colorado (3-6, 3-3) built a 28-6 half time lead and held on, beating Missouri (2-6, 1-5) in Columbia, Mo.
Missouri closed to 28-16 in the fourth quarter, and with 6:46 left to play. Buffalo punter Jeremy Flores deliberately took a safety to make the score 28-18.

And the winner is ...
Because of the Electoral College, the candidate who gets the most votes for president this year may not win
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Tiffany Walter, Wichita senior, said she'll vote today, even though her vote didn't matter much.
She's not apathetic about civic participation, but she says the electoral college — a uniquely American phenomenon — means that her Democratic vote in a solidly Republican state won't mean much in determining the next president of the United States.
When voters go to the polls today they will see names like A Gore, George W. Bush and Ralph Nader on the ballot, but Kansans will actually be voting for a group of six electors, who they probably don't even know, and who will ultimately decide who wins the presidency.
U. S. presidential elections are decided by the electoral college instead of by direct popular vote. This means the states decide the winner, not individual citizens.
The Electoral College has often been overlooked in presidential elections, but with this year's tight race between Gore and Bush, the system is garnering more attention than usual because today's winner might not be the one who the most people vote for.
How it works
The electoral college operates on a winner-takes-all approach. Each state is allotted a certain number of electors, based on its number of U.S. representatives and senators. That means Kansas has six electors, while California has 54.
The candidate who wins the most votes in each state gets all the elector votes. So if Bush beats Gore in Kansas by just one vote, he would get all six Kansas electoral votes.
The electors will meet Dec. 18 in Washington, D.C., to make official the elected winner, who will be the candidate winning the majority of

elector votes. If no one wins a majority, the House of Representatives select the winner.
presentatives select the winner. Why it works
Allan Cigler, professor of political science, said the writers of the Constitution established the electoral college as a safeguard against the masses electing a dominant, dictatorial leader like the King of England.
"We live in an age where I think democracy has a strong association with the idea of one person-one vote," Cigler said. "We've had instances in the past where a person became president who didn't win the popular vote, and some question whether people would accept those decisions very easily today."
Cigler said that although critics argued that the electoral college tended to focus candidates' attention on larger states like California, Florida and Texas, the system had some advantages.
"It's very important in retaining the two-party system, if one likes the two-party system." Cigler said. "The electoral college certainly makes it very difficult, even for regionally strong third party candidate to compete. The likely winner will have to have satisfied a large proportion of a diverse country."
Cigler also said a purely popular vote could result in negative side-
effects on American politics.
"It would maybe even emphasize more the importance of money and television, a lot of things people don't like," he said. "The popular vote might make the TV media image play a larger role. Basically candidates could be able to buy attention and some really able people who are not good with that media would not do very well."
With the polls going into today's election neck-and-neck, political analysts are predicting the best chance in decades that one candidate will win the election by getting the most electoral votes without actually getting the most direct popular votes.
The split-vote possibility
That's a possibility because if Gore, for example, were to win big electoral states by a small margin, but Bush won the small electoral states by larger margins, Bush could win more actual popular votes.
"There's a higher probability of that happening than anytime I can remember since 1960," Cigler said. "If it would happen, I suspect Bush to get the popular vote and Gore to win the electoral college because some of the very big states like Pennsylvania and Florida are liable to be very close."

Recordings say registration card required to vote
See CANDIDATES on page 3A
By Lauren Brandenburg

Kanson staff writer
A phone call yesterday almost convinced Elizabeth Conners that she couldn't vote today.
Conners, Omaha, Neb., freshman received a call that was a recorded message claiming to represent the Democratic Action League. The recording said she needed her voter registration card to vote.
"It made me look frantically for my card because I knew I had set it on my desk," Conners said. "I started panicking because I thought I couldn't vote."
Conners said that at least 40 other students on her residence hall floor received the same call and that the
targets were Democrats.
Julie Merz, Ballwin, Mo., senior and president of the KU Young Democrats, said the recorded message was incorrect — she said that the process was quicker if the voter had a form of identification but that none was required.
Merz, county Democratic field coordinator, said her committee had spoken with the secretary of state and was doing all it could to let voters know the message was false. It was not known, however, who was behind the calls.
"It's dirty politics at its worst, so we'll get to the bottom of it," she said.
Merz said the message qualified as voter suppression and, in a worst-case scenario, could change some election results.
Conners said the recording stressed the necessity of the voter registration card at least five times and said it was important to bring the card to comply with election laws.
"If I was someone a little more naive, I probably would have not gone out and voted." Conners said. "That's just wrong."
Jim Jesse, a Lawrence resident who is involved with the local Democratic party and has run for office before, said he thought the calls were meant to keep Democrats away from the polls. Jesse said that voters do not need the registration card or a identification to vote.
Many University of Kansas students also received e-mails from the Libertarian Party and Chris Mina, asking them to vote for him in the 3rd district congressional race, which included Dennis Moore (D-Lenexa) and Phill Kline (R-Shawnee), and the Libertarian Party.
Provost David Shulenburger said the mass e-mailing was unauthorized by the University but was unsure whether the University would take any action.

Downtown construction disrupts parking
By Matt Merkel-Hess
Kansan staff writer
Downtown construction has created a parking headache for business owners and customers on the east side of the 900 block of Massachusetts Street.
This afternoon, the City Commission will meet with the business owners to try and find a solution to the parking problems. Today's meeting is at 4 p.m. because of the election.
The problems began two weeks ago with construction of the Lawrence Arts Center and a 514-space parking garage on the 900 block of New Hampshire Street. The construction, which is expected to take a year, resulted in the loss of 94 spaces in the free, two-hour city lot and more than 100 spaces in private lots on New Hampshire Street.
To mitigate the loss of parking and alley access for service vehicles, the city converted 15 spaces on Massachusetts Street into 30-minute parking and four spots into a 15-minute loading zone. The 30-minute spaces are located in front of the First Bank tower, 900 Massachusetts St., and the loading zone spaces are in front of Saffees Inc. and Larry's Barber Shop, at 922 and 924
This afternoon, the City Commission will conduct a hearing to consider alternative locations for the loading zone, which include moving the zone in front of Pizza Hut, 934 Massachusetts St., or dividing it into two zones.
Massachusetts St.
Jason Schreiner, a manager at Milton's Coffee and Wine, 920 Massachusetts St., questioned the placement of the loading zone, which he said was usually empty.
"I'd like to see them disperse these zones throughout the block," he said. "It would be more helpful for the businesses and people trying to find a place to park."
find a place to park.
Schreiner said that while Milton's had not experienced a decline in business, it had been more difficult for customers who needed more than 30 minutes to eat lunch to find a parking space. He said the city could have done a better job of working with the existing businesses to resolve parking problems before construction started.
"There's no one glove that rats everybody down there — that's the problem," he said. "We're
Mike Wilden, city manager, said the city noti fied business of what the changes were going to be.
"There's going to be a disruption, and it won't be perfect," Schreiner said. "But they could have done a better job of working with us."

trying to look for a solution that more people can accept."
Terri Wilson, a sales manager at Everything But Ice, 936 Massachusetts St., said she hadn't heard any complaints from customers and plenty of parking was available, especially early in the morning and after 4 p.m.
"I think for a lot of people it's real inconvenient," she said. "It's such a toss-up because regardless of what's goes on, the city will not be able to please everyone."

Union's open house to have election theme
Student Union Activities and the Kansas Union want to make election day a little more entertaining for students.
The Union, which normally sponsors a fall open house, decided to give today's open house an election theme, said Rachel Comish, SUA public relations coordinator and CoachJunior. The open house is from 11.a.m. to 3.p.m. today.
Activities for the open house include a political joke contest and photo opportunities with people donning Al Gore and George W. Bush masks. Representatives from the College Republicans, KU Young Democrats and KU Green Party also have been invited to sponsor booths, Cornish said.
"The goal behind it is to make people more aware that it's election day," Cornish said. "Students can tend to get caught up in the week and forget to go and vote. But we're trying to make it a little bit of a social event, too."

KU student receives threatening note on car
A 29-year-old KU student received a threatening on her car between 9 p.m. Saturday and noon Sunday in the 1100 block of Mississippi Street, Lawrence police said.
Police were continuing investigation yesterday.
Det. Michael Viebrock said the note threatened physical violence against the student if she and her roommate continued to use two parking places in the apartment complex parking lot.
Sorority files report after property stolen
A chenwood end table, wooden Trojan horse and Georgia O'Keefe picture were stolen from the entry of the Kappa Delta sorority house, 1602 High Dr., within the last two weeks, Lawrence police said.
Det. Michael Vibrock said the sorority thought the theft was a fraternity prank and expected the items would be returned. When the items were not returned by last Friday, the sorority decided to file a report.

FDA warns consumers to check medicine labels
Consumers confused by the government's warning to avoid a common over-the-counter drug ingredient can simply check the labels, because all drugs must list their ingredients.
Look for phenylpropanolamine, also called PPA. The Food and Drug Administration advised consumers not to use products containing PPA because it can cause strokes.
PPA is found in oral decongestants, but many cold remedies use the safe alternative pseudoephedrine, so look for that name in the ingredient list instead. Nasal sprays are another alternative.
But PPA also is the only nonprescription appetite suppressant sold. So the FDA said dieters should call their doctors about prescription-only alternative drugs.
PPA is in dozens of products — such as the diet pills Dexatrim and Acutrim. But particularly for cold remedies, there are many formulas of each brand name and every formula doesn't contain PPA.
The FDA is answering PPA questions toll-free at 1-888-INFO-FDA. A direct line, though it is not toll-free, is 1-301-827-4570.
Term limit preferences may become public
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court heard a dispute yesterday about a ballot issue that has fallen out of fashion in many states — term limits.
The court is expected to decide by summer whether states can require congressional candidates to actively support term restrictions or be branded as opponents of the cause on state-issued election ballots.
Supporters say labeling a candidate as for or against term limits will help voters by providing more information. Opponents say the labels are an unconstitutional limit on candidates' free speech and an improper use of the ballot to promote an idea backed by the state government.
Firsttime candidates are asked to take a term limit vow. Next to decliners' names appear the words "Declined to Pledge to Support Term Limits."
State-imposed limits on how long politicians may serve in office was a national phenomenon in the 1990s. Voters in 23 states signed on to the idea, according to the advocacy group U.S. Term Limits.
Nader concludes rallies with celebrities' help
WASHINGTON — Ralph Nader concluded his series of arena rallies in the nation's capital, where he and celebrity friends rejected claims that votes for the Green Party presidential candidate would spoil the election chances of Democrat Al Gore.

celebrities lending support included actor Danny Glover, rock star Adam Yauch of the Beastie Boys and Harvard University professor Cornell West.
Buchanan wraps up sagging campaign
ROMULUS, Mich. — Pat Buchanan says a third party may be the wrong way to reach the American people.
"If you don't win on Tuesday, Mr. Gore, it won't be because of Ralph Nader," he said. "It will be because of you."
Buchanan, who left the Republicans to run as the Reform Party presidential candidate, predicted a narrow win for the GOP's George W. Bush on Tuesday.
Roughly 8,000 people paid $10 apiece to hear Nader speak Sunday at his final "super rally" at the MCI Arena. Other
As for his own campaign, lagging with 1 percent or less in national polls, he was clearly having second thoughts about running as a third-party candidate.
"I've decided that a presidential campaign is really not a place where great ideas and great issues can be best advanced," said Buchanan, who sought the Republican presidential nomination in 1992 and 1996. He spoke at a suburban Detroit news conference Monday before flying to New York, where he wrapped up his campaign with stops in Rochester and Buffalo.
Most national polls show the former talk show host and Nixon White House aide getting about 1 percent support, trailing Green Party candidate Ralph Nader's 4 percent to 5 percent and out of sight of Bush and Gore.

Palestinians complain about U.S. mediation
JERUSALEM — Before planned Mideast peace talks in Washington, the Palestinians complained that U.S. mediation has been ineffective. The Palestinians demanded that the European Union, Russia and the United Nations be asked to join the talks.

Bush, Gore make final push on election eve
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — With the presidential contest still neck and neck a day before the nation votes, Al Gore and George W. Bush made their final sustained pushes yesterday through battleground states.
Republican Bush promised a sprint to the finish, while Gore

supporters and reach still-undecided voters.
Leaving Florida for the last time before the election, Bush told reporters, "We've laid the groundwork for victory, now it's up (to us) to get people to the poll."
Bush said he was excited heading into today's election.
"I trust the people," Bush said. "I trust they have heard our mess
sage. And tomorrow I believe we're going to have a good day. People got to go vote. My supporters have got to make sure they show up."
Bush was avoiding the tightest battleground states — Michigan and Pennsylvania, for example — sticking an election-eve thumb in the eye of Democrats by visiting Arkansas and Tennessee, the home turfs of President Clinton and Gore, respectively.
Appearing on NBC's "Today" show, Bush strategist Karl Rove said Republicans were concentrating on get-out-the-vote efforts in the campaign's last 10 days. They placed 70 million phone calls to voters, sent out 110 million pieces of mail and mobilized 243,000 volunteers in 28 battleground states.
While both had full schedules yesterday, Gore went a step further, campaigning around the clock and appearing with wife, Tipper, on all three networks' morning shows. In a wind-blown cold rain, he addressed about 100 campaign volunteers yesterday
morning in Waterloo, Iowa.
"You are the ones who are going to make a difference in this race," he said. "That's what's going to put this race."
The closeness of the election, he said, means that voter turnout will be key and volunteer operations essential. "Once again, it's in your hands, and I know it's in good hands," Gore said.

ing, Gore stood under a black umbrella meeting workers as they reported for shift at a John Deere tractor plant. He grinned when a red pickup truck slowed in the street and its driver shouted, "Give George Bush hell tomorrow!"
Gore was campaigning in Missouri, Michigan and Florida — including a dawn gathering at a Tampa, Fla., coffee shop — before heading home to Tennessee to vote and await the returns.
Bush spent the night in Orlando after a five-city blitz through Florida, the most populous swing state. Yesterday, the Texas governor was campaigning in Tennessee, Wisconsin, Iowa and Arkansas before returning to his home in Austin, Texas.
Florida is crucial to Bush's hopes of capturing the White House, but polls continue to show a close race.

Joseph Lieberman visited a local Democratic headquarters in St. Paul., Minn., dialing 85-year-old Marie Connelly.
"Hey Marie, believe it or not, this

Connelly said she was voting for him and Gore. Lieberman told her, "Ah, you are wonderful. You made my morning. I love you."
In Las Vegas, Bush running mate Dick Cheney picked up the phone and told a voter, "Hello, this is Dick Cheney—no, I really am—it really is me. Need a ride to the polls or anything?"
Cheney later told volunteers, "Tomorrow marks the end of the Clinton-Gore era."
Pre-election surveys suggested the battle could be the closest in generations, and indeed the Senate and the House were up for grabs, too, with Republicans seeking to retain control.
National polls gave a narrow edge to Bush in the presidential race, but Gore's support in large battleground states made for an unpredictable race to 270 electoral votes and victory.
Clinton, Lazio seek supporters

ALBANY, N.Y. — The most-watched Senate race in the country roared through its final hours yesterday, with Hillary Rodham Clinton planning rallies in cities from one end of the state to the other, and Rick Lazio hustling for votes in the suburbs.

"I've felt like the underdog throughout the entire race," Lazio told reporters while campaigning in the Hudson Valley town of Chester. "We were up against a lot, but you know what I have faith in?"
Three new polls were released yesterday, with one showing the first lady opening up a double-digit lead over her Republican rival. The two others had the race remaining very close.
Clinton and her supporters, meanwhile, were predicting victory.
"I'll fight for you, I'll stick with you, I will go to the U.S. Senate and work my heart out for you!" Clinton told supporters in Albany. The first lady appeared energized despite a schedule that has

Lazio looked tired, but hustled throughout the day, with stops in and around New York City. At some of the stops, he was joined by two of his most prominent Republican supporters. Gov. George Pataki and New York City Mayor Rudolph Gluani.
The race is one of the costliest Senate campaigns in history, with the candidates
spending $78 million through mid October.
Candidates vie for larger states' votes
Kansas traditionally lean toward one party. The last time Kansas' electoral votes went toward a Democratic presidential candidate was in 1964 when it elected Lyndon B. Johnson.
Continued from page 1A
"The electoral college is kind of a rip," Walter said. "My vote is not going to count because it's pretty much a sweep with Kansas being solidly Republican. Anyone that's a Democrat here pretty much doesn't count when it comes to the presidential election."
But Nick Johnson, Kansas City, Mo. senior, said that although his specific vote in today's election might not determine the winner, every vote still mattered.
"If everyone took that same attitude that their vote didn't count, there would be no democracy," he said.
Walling said the electoral college did not disrupt the democratic process.
"The system is completely based on the participation of the masses. Maybe it's an ideal thing to say, but I think if anyone votes for anything, it's not a wasted vote," he
said. "It's not about winning or losing in the grand scheme of things, it's a question of does the citizenry participate."
Cigler said the electoral system tended to lead candidates to overlook states such as Kansas — states heavily geared toward one party with a small number of electoral votes. But he said the candidates would probably not pay much more attention if the elections were strictly based on a popular vote.
"Even if it changed to a popular election, there would still be more campaigning in big states," Cigler said.
In the future
Although many people dislike the notion of the electoral college, Walling said it would be difficult to change the system.
"People might be intuitively offended by someone winning that didn't win the popular vote, but I don't know how likely is it that a constitutional amendment is passed," Walling said. "Think about how many amendments there are. There have only been 27 ever, and 10 of those basically came with the Constitution, so there's been 17 in 200 years. I don't know how likely that is to happen."
Cigler said if today's winner didn't win the popular vote, there would be discussion in Congress of modifying the system. One possibility, he said, would be to make the electoral college a proportional system. For example, if a candidate won two-thirds of a state's vote, he or she would get two-thirds of the electoral votes instead of all of them.
"Everybody's going to have a different view, but sometimes you have to be careful what you wish for," Cigler said. "Tallying votes and whoever gets the most wins is probably more democratic, but that changes the way politics is conducted. It moves it away from party politics to mass media politics."
"The bottom line is that it's more likely to happen now than in a very long time. Generally we don't have elections this close," Wailing said. "People are not used to close elections, and people are getting afraid that someone who doesn't win the popular vote will win the election."
Walling said the issue was under scrutiny this year only because of the close race.

Ashcroft was flying yesterday to rallies in six cities, after stumping Sunday alongside former President Bush in St. Louis and telling a national television audience of his determination to "carry forth on the issues."
Questions dogged Ashcroft about the challenge he faces today from the late Gov. Mel Carnahan, the Democratic nominee who died in a plane crash three weeks ago.
He is also implicitly challenged by Carnahan's widow, Jean, who has agreed to accept an appointment as senator if her late husband outpollts Ashcroft. Mel Carnahan died after a deadline for changing Tuesday's ballot.
Mrs. Carnahan has won the endorsement of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, which said in an editorial Sunday that she and her husband had been devoted "to progressive values and a view of government that appeals to the better angels of our nature." The Kansas City Star endorsed Ashcroft last week, saying he was more experienced.
Ashcroft said he "hasn't wasted one second" thinking about a legal challenge if he loses to Mel Carnahan. The senator said on ABC's This Week with Sam Donaldson and Cokie Roberts that "the people will settle this issue, and I trust the people to do so and very frankly, this is a distraction."
Mrs. Carnahan, who has never sought or held elected office, told ABC that a legal challenge would be viewed in Missouri as an attempt to "thwart the will" of voters.
The ABC program was the only political stage shared so far by Mrs. Carnahan, 66.

and Ashcroft, 58, but they had no exchanges. Mrs. Carnahan's interview was just her second public appearance in a week; the first was a brief news conference announcing her acceptance of Wilson's appointment offer. She had no other public appearances scheduled through Election Day, Tony Wyche, spokesman for Mel Carnahan's campaign, said Sunday night.
Some voters said they deserved to know more about the woman who could be senator.
"Just because she was his wife isn't enough. If my doctor died, I wouldn't want his wife to operate on me," said Bob Baysinger, 57, a land developer from Jefferson City who supports Ashcroft.
Mrs. Carnahan has said she shared her husband's values and positions. Democrats were sympathetic about her decision to stay in seclusion, noting the widow's still-recent loss of her husband of 46 years and the couple's eldest son, Roger, in the Oct. 16 crash that also killed campaign adviser Chris Sifford.
On ABC, Ashcroft repeated his assertion that suspending his campaign after the plane crash hurt him politically. Democrats and political analysts said Ashcroft had little choice to avoid appearing insensitive.
"We gave a week away of the campaign by doing what was right," he said.
Rick Hardy, a political scientist at the University of Missouri in Columbia who ran twice unsuccessfully for Congress as a Republican, said Ashcroft had three opponents: "Mel Carnahan in death, Jean Carnahan in dignity and the media who cannot resist the story and keep it before voters."
As Sheriff, Rick Trapp will focus on fighting the profileration of methamphetamine, confronting the problem of youth violence, providing the best law enforcement training in Kansas, attracting and retaining the highest quality personnel and maintaining the Douglas County jail in a

Perspective
Cast a vote that reflects principles, not 'reality'
Election Day is here. And we hear from the media that most Americans, especially young people, do not vote. They are apathetic and cynical. Here we are, a college campus, filled with these very same people.
For comments, contact Ben Embry or Emily Hughey at 864-4924 or e-mail opinion@kansan.com
Is this the way we should be: cynical? No. College is supposed to be filled with the young and idealistic. Today, though, idealistic is practically a naughty word. Almost automatically, naive is attached to it. So we fall under the trap of believing that ideals cannot be implemented into life, that we must be "realistic." We must put up with the failure to run things according to an ideal. We must accept the shortcomings of our leaders. This idea is given to us constantly as elections come up.
Don't throw away your vote, people say. In other words, don't vote for what you believe; be realistic. Probably the best argument I could present to convince you of the fallacy of the wasted vote comes from an episode of The Simpsons.
Two aliens kidnap Bill Clinton and Bob Dole (during the '96 election), make copies of their bodies and run for president in place of them:

Homer:
America, take a look at your beloved candidates.
They're nothing but hideous.
space reptiles, [unmasks them; audience gasps in terror]
Kodos: It's true. We are aliens.
But what are you going to do about it? It's a two-party system; you have to vote for one of us.
[murmurs]
First man. He's right; this is a two-norty system.
Second man. Well, I believe I'll vote for a third-party candidate.
Kang: Go ahead. Throw your vote away. [Kang and Kodos laugh out loud]
The next day, Kodos announces the result: "All hail, President King." The field in front of the Capitol has now become a working ground where altens whip humans and use them to carry materials. The Simpson family is working, too, with Homer and the kids carrying wood and Marge pushing a wheelbarrow of cinder blocks with Maggie on top.
Homer: Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.
Marge: I don't understand why we have to build a ray gun to aim at a planet I never even heard of.
People have forgotten what voting is supposed to be about. Voting is not important because it decides who is elected. Voting is important because it is your official voice, your chance to give your opinion.
Change never comes about by voting for those who keep doing the same thing. Besides, Kansas hasn't given its electoral votes to a non-Republican in decades. So your vote, when it comes down to who will be elected, means nothing. But as a statement of your beliefs, it means everything. No one will know that when you vote for Al Gore, it's because you don't like George Bush, or vice versa. Instead, it is interpreted as support for the candidate's proposals.
I can't urge you enough to vote for what you believe. Vote for your ideals. Don't vote for "the lesser of two evils" just to be "realistic."
HA! YOU'RE SO ASHAMED OF THE PRESIDENT,
YOUR CAMPAIGN DOESN'T EVEN WANT

Gore presents clear choice for president
Al Gore is the best candidate to succeed Bill Clinton as the next U.S. president by virtue of his commitment to middle-class families, his sound education platform, his vast political and foreign policy experience, his environmental record and his stance on a abortion.
Al Gore's tax cuts cater to middle-class families more than Bush's plan. Gore's cuts include making the Child and Dependent Care Tax Credit refundable to working families. He also will offer tax relief to stay-at-home parents.
Bush's bloated plan includes cutting the maximum tax rate for the middle class down to 25 percent from its current 28 to 31 percent. Most of his massive cuts would go to the wealthy.
On education, both plan to improve teacher quality, classroom conditions and pay. Bush proposes a $3 billion Education Technology Fund to ensure technology boosts achievement, while Gore proposes a $170 billion dollar plan to raise teacher pay, bring more attention to special education programs and make higher education more affordable.
But Bush has a poor education record in many respects in Texas, which ranked 48th out of the 50 states in high school completion during his tenure as governor. Additionally, Texas educators saw their salaries dip 1.1 percent from 1998 to 1999 — a fact that only worsens the dead-last ranking Texas had in teacher salaries and benefits.
Gore and Bush have different amounts of political experience. Gore, as vice president, is
ahead of the game in foreign policy, given his experience with peace-making in Northern Ireland, the Balkans and other war-torn regions.
In addition, many have dubbed Bush the "Texecutioner" for his record of 144 executions since he took office. Bush's mentality toward those executed is scary at times, as he dismisses evidence that could prove innocence and will not translate well in the nation's capital.
Al Gore fits better with middle-class citizens, has better experience behind him and has a platform that should function better than Bush's. His education platform is inserting the help in the right places, and his Republican rival's statistics speak for themselves. Gore is the more sound choice for 2000.
Ben Tatar for the editorial board
Incumbent Moore deserves another round
We endorse Dennis Moore (D-Lenexa) for the 3rd congressional district of Kansas.
Moore is a native Kansan; he graduated from the University of Kansas in 1967 and obtained his law degree from Washburn University in 1970. He served in the U.S. Army and spent 13 years as the Johnson County district attorney.
Moore's key issues are the greatest reason to re-elect him. Moore has voted to fund the federal lawsuit against the big tobacco corporations, and on numerous occasions, he has voted to ease the federal tax burden on Kansans.
Moore is serving his first term in the House of Representatives and proving his leadership.
Moore has sponsored legislation prohibiting violent juvenile criminals from possessing firearms, creating tax incentives for small business health plans and establishing child-proof caps on gasoline containers.
His challenger, Phill Kline (R.Shawnee), also earned a degree from the University. But his political past shows an unwillingness to compromise on his conservative views — unlike Moore, who has worked with both parties in his time in the House.
Although many congressional leaders are apt to spend the projected budget surplus, Moore takes a responsible position. If re-elected, Moore would advocate paying down the national debt, which would reduce interest rates and improve the economy.
ty of education in Kansas. Specifically, he called upon his colleagues in Congress to vote to provide the increased funding for special education that was promised in 1975.
Most importantly, Moore has worked to pass a patient's bill of rights. He was part of a bipartisan coalition in 1999 that passed a managed-care reform bill. With another term in the House, Moore would make greater strides towards health care reform.
Moore is committed to improving the quali-
In 1988, the 3rd district sent Moore to Congress, and he has represented Kansas well. He has worked with both parties and put the interests of his district first. We should send Moore back for another term.

Letters to the Editor
Bush's DUI, cover-up reflects poorly on leadership ability
When allegations arose that Governor George W. Bush was charged and punished with driving under the influence, the governor confessed to this past action. Bush also blamed Vice President Al Gore's campaign with the conspiracy of this issue surfacing days before the election. Al Gore should not be held accountable for Bush's mistakes and Bush's decision not to make this announcement prior to the leak.
How dare the Republican Party continue to and fully emphasize the demoralization that occurred in the White House when their own supported candidate for presidency does not even know when to draw the line. Sexual misconduct and substance abuse problems are two very distinct issues but they are comparable. They both rely on morals and values that the two political speaches preach.
Gore has strongly stressed his separation from President Clinton and the Lewinsky situation in this campaign and has made this irrebutably apparent. Focusing on the issues has been this candidate's real drive, and personality aside, he could stand up to be a decent president.
Bush chose to endanger the lives of others when he chose to drive under the influence. He still will not admit to his prior drug abuse problems, which are already publicly acknowledged. Contemplating the detrimental effects this potential president would have as a role model on future generations is especially undesirable.
Now, it is time for the voters to choose the respectable candidate that will inevitably affect the lives of other's across the nation. Al Gore is the best candidate for this ideal.

Both Democrats, Republicans solicit votes via the telephone
In the Nov. 3 Kansan, Jason Fendrick wrote a letter criticizing Phill Kline's campaign for making phone calls to him concerning the 3rd District congressional race. It hardly seems fair to present only one side of the picture, so I thought I would try to fill in what he left out.
The Democrats do the same thing. I received a call today asking me to vote for three Democrats
— including Kline's opponent — two of whom I am not eligible to vote for. Somehow that seems even worse than simply calling with campaign information. The Democrats didn't even give me reasons to vote for them.
Even worse, I later received an e-mail from a Libertarian candidate for U.S. Congress — via my KU e-mail account. I don't know if he took my address from KU sources (of questionable legality), but he surely wanted my vote. Even though I'm out of his district.
So the actions of Kline's campaign don't seem to be too unusual. Perhaps Fendrick needs to learn a bit more about politics before he decides to vote based on phone calls.

Use of organization's name damages credibility, hurts mission
Well, Leonard Magruder was right, I'm enraged. Oh, I was only slightly annoyed at his treatment of gender issues and somewhat appalled by his pseudo-intellectual rhetoric. I didn't get mad until he had the nerve to sign his screw, "Leonard Magruader, President, Sons and Daughters of Vietnam Veterans."
Even though his letter (Kansan, Nov. 3) was ill conceived, I forgive Magruder for being wrong. What I can't forgive him for is his sleazy attempt to steal the patriotism of Vietnam veterans and graft it to his own reactionary agenda. The treatment of U.S. servicemen during Vietnam was a national embarrassment. When veterans or their children meet and discuss these issues, it preserves our national memory and ensures that the same mistakes will not be made again.
However, Magruder's attempt to the his dislike of the feminist movement to the experience of soldiers in Vietnam is disingenuous and insulting. In fact, Vietnam gets only a single off-handed reference in his entire diatribe. Magruder's attempt to legitimize his ridiculous positions by signing the name of an unrelated organization is intolerable. Doing so undermines both the credibility and the mission of Sons and Daughters of Vietnam Veterans.

Letter reveals writer's ignorance, intolerance of women's movement
Frankly, Leonard, I'm not so much constipated with outrage, as I am disgusted and saddened by your ill-informed, misogynistic letter to the editor (Kansan, Nov. 3). I actually felt a bit nauseated after my first read-through, but I have now composed myself enough to respond.
Oh, where to start.
First, how dare you suggest that that number of claims of rape is wildly exaggerated. So sweet of you to offer those misrepresentative statistics from Berkeley and Princeton. I mean, we all know that rapes only "count" when they're reported to campus security, right? Just because the rapes weren't reported doesn't mean they didn't happen. And what about the other hundreds of millions of women who don't attend one of those two universities? Here are some real statistics for you (according to the U.S. Department of Justice):
- Somewhere in America, a woman is raped every two minutes.
In 1996, 307,000 women were victims of rape, attempted rape or sexual assault.
In 1996, only 31 percent of raps were actually reported to law enforcement officials.
elected in two minor congressional elections
One in six rape victims is under the age of 12.
The most startling aspect of sex crimes is how many go unreported, many because of fear of reprisal from the assailant. What's also sad is how many women are raped or sexually assaulted and don't even realize it because of our society's inept definitions of those terms.
So, we feminists are pretty much just making up the rape crisis to further our male-bashing agendas? Well, Leonard, don't forget to mention how we also "found" the domestic violence crisis, the female genital mutilation crisis and the dowry deaths crisis, just to name a few more. Oh yes, we've been busy "finding" these hundreds of millions of victims, just to promote our agenda.
And I really wish that you would have elaborated on how the feminist movement betrays the freedom of the South Vietnamese, the middle class, democracy, religion, patriotism and intellectualism. I have to admit, I'm a little confused there.
So, let me ask you, Leonard, have you ever been to Womyn Take Back the Night? I'm going to assume no, because if you had, you would know that the night is NOT about emphasizing vulnerability or basking in the status of "victim."
It's actually just the opposite. Suzanne Stutman, professor of women's studies at Penn State University, put it best when she said "we must march, we must protest, we must legislate, we must raise our voices into the darkness so that no children be allowed to fall, no victims surrender in silence and shame. In doing so, we take back the night."
Explain to me how that's passive. If you felt so concerned that night, watching from your upstairs window, then we were obviously doing something right. Did you feel a little uneasy? Scared that your role as oppressor will be taken from you? You should be.

more issues had to be brought up. We have made it known that we are not all happy out there. We have made it clear that people are getting tired of the corporate-dominated system and want a change. If you don't believe that, go listen to Gore's speeches before and after the Democratic convention. He became an instant egalitarian. We will exit this election as one of the most powerful watchdog groups in the nation. We will also have, by our estimation, our five percent of the vote
Green Party refuses to be strawman of Gore platform, Democratic Party
Since the beginning of our campaign for Ralph Nader, we in the Green Party have altered the course of the election. We have made it so that
The recent anger we have felt from the Democrats has resulted in paranail and blame to immense levels, most recently in this very paper. The Kansan poll showed Nader with 98 percent. One of the editors, mad because someone must have tampered with it, sent out a fairly personal attack on Nader supporters. First, yes, someone probably did mess with the poll. That is not hard to see. But the Green party did not sanction it.
A week ago, there were about 130 votes and Nader was around 53 percent. This actually agrees with a recent Time magazine online poll of over a million people, which prevented people from voting more than once. This is not to say that we have 53 percent of the vote; rather, it tells you what party has the most people out there looking for information. We were disappointed in the results of the Kansan poll as well, because we believe Nader would have done very well without the repeated votes.
Second, and most importantly, polls are extremely misleading. They must be watched with extreme caution. Not only are they easy to tamper with, but they are imperfect in form. We should always look at the criteria, and where the responses come from. For instance, the criteria for a Gallup poll this summer required that a person had voted in the past two presidential elections. This eliminates the majority of college age voters as well as many disenfranchised voters who may vote now.
The first thing to point out is that we are not wayward Democrats. We are not votes being stolen from Gore. We are the Green Party. If there was only a choice between Gore and Bush, most of us would not vote for the office of president at all. In the recent weeks there has been a mounting disturbance amongst the Democrats. Gore has decided that the reason he is behind in the polls is not because his record is awful or that people don't trust him, but because the Greens are taking "his" votes away. This is a bizarre concept to hold in what is, ostensibly, a democracy. We were under the impression that our votes belong to us. Apparently Gore disagrees. So much for free speech.
We are members of the Green party. We are not "minions," but rather free thinkers. Not one of us is here for a less-than-thought-out reason. There also is no one who completely agrees with Nader on all issues. This not a sign of mistrust, or lack of enthusiasm, but merely differing opinions. Nader comes closer to our beliefs than any of the others, including all other independents. For this reason, we support him.
Here is the point: If Gore were a person we agreed with, then we would vote for him. He is not. He has neglected most of the issues he ran on in the past. We are not lost Democrats. We will vote our conscience and encourage others to do so also. We do not appreciate the sudden hatred. If Gore loses the election, it is his own fault for ignoring large parts of the population, not ours for being those parts. We are here to stay. We will be making our voice heard from here on out. In the words of Gandhi: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win."

Former KU law professor appealing lawsuit's dismissal
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A former University of Kansas professor of law has filed an appeal with the U.S. Tenth Circuit District Court, saying that the University of Kansas violated his 14th Amendment rights to due process and equal protection.
Emil Tonkovich, husband of District Attorney Christine Tonkovich and former professor of law at the University, was dismissed from the University in 1993
after a student complained that she felt compelled to comply with Tonkovich's sexual solicitations because she was concerned about her grade. The University conducted a nine-month hearing.
Tonkovich is seeking damages, reinstatement and back pay.
Timothy Mustaine, who represents Bob Jerry, former dean of the University Law School, said Tonkovich wanted his due process and equal protection claims reinstated against Chancellor Hemenway in his official capacity. Tonkovich filed a lawsuit in 1995
against approximately 30 people employed by the University, Mustaine said.
Mustaine said Tonkovich's due process complaint said that things Tonkovich thought should happen during his University hearings did not happen and that the panel was biased against him. Tonkovich's equal protection claim said that he was treated differently than other professors who dated students.
Earlier, the Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals dismissed a First Amendment complaint also made by Tonkovich.
After the Court of Appeals dismissed Tonkovich's First Amendment claim, the defendants asked that his due process and equal protection claims also be dismissed. The Court dismissed the claims, saying that the Due Process Clause was not a guarantee against incorrect or ill-advised personnel decisions. The Court also said that the clause did not guarantee that the University would reach a result Tonkvich agreed with.
Mustaine said the defendants felt that the Court already decided the claims in the first appeal, and the
precedent set was that Tonkovich's rights were not violated.
"He is saying that the first appea really did not decide that nobody violated his rights," Mustaine said. "We think it's quite clear that is exactly what the first appeal decided."
The defendants include Jerry, faculty members who solicited student complaints against Tonkovich, five faculty members on a tenure-and-related-problems committee who heard the case in the early '90s, a group of University counsel who presented the case for
the chancellor, people who were on the Board of Trustees that turned down Tonkovich's appeal, chancellors Budig and Hemenway, and others in the chancellor's office.
Tonkovich referred all questions to his attorney, Richard P. Hutchison of the Landmark Legal Foundation in Kansas City, Mo., who did not return phone calls Friday or yesterday.
Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, deferred all comment to Mustaine.

Med Center leaders hope heart, lung programs will boost rank
By Melissa Davis
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Administrators at the University of Kansas Medical Center hope that new heart and lung programs will propel their existing cardiology program to a top rank nationally.
Two cardiac care groups, MidAmerica Cardiology and MidAmerica Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgeons, are teaming up to build a cardiology and cardiovascular surgery program at the Med Center.
Steven Owens, president of the MAC board of directors, said MAC decided on the Med Center because of its upstanding reputation.
"We've been successful in working with hospitals to build other quality cardiac programs, but KU Med is uniquely capable of developing easily accessible, high-quality care for patients and their families." Owens said in a written statement.
Donald Hagen, executive vice chancel
lor, said the physicians would phase in their move into the Med Center within the next few months. The MAC program will be located in Shawnee at KU MedWest. MATCS will open in 2001 somewhere on the main campus in Kansas City, Kan., Hagen said, but no final decisions have been made regarding its exact location.
Several professors at the Med Center had reported last week that the MAC would displace the family medicine and obstetrics and gynecology clinics on the Med Center campus and that those clinics would be moved to Johnson County, away from their primary patient bases in Wyandotte County. But Med Center officials denied suggestions that those clinics would move off campus.
Hagen said the new program, the 22 cardiologists from MAC and three surgeons from MATCS would benefit the Med Center by making its cardiology program stronger.
"I think we now have enough providers so the whole program will be very strong to meet demands," Hagen
said. "We will be stronger than ever. We have not been this strong since the '70s."
Hagen said he envisioned the programs providing the Med Center with a great opportunity to develop a new kind of heart program.
"We have excellent researchers at the Med Center moving forward in research and education — top in the country," he said.
Hagen said the new programs would work together with the Med Center and create fine cardiology research.
"It's going to be a nice combination," he said. "We are going to develop new skills needed for cardiology."
The new physicians will be members of the Med Center for the teaching and research portion of the center.
According to a press release sent by the Med Center, no financial details about the move have been disclosed, but officials said the Med Center would be prepared to make whatever investment necessary to build a center.

One of the biggest myths about greek organizations is that they only throw wild parties.
But National Pan-Hellenic fraternities and sororites are designed for a different purpose, minority members say.
"There's a lot more focus on community service," said Robert Page, director of multicultural affairs.
Shyra McGee, president of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority and Wichita senior, said there was more to her sorority than the social aspects. Other members agreed that the main goal of historically African-American and Latino organizations was to positively impact the community.
"We're trying to help each other and help the community," said Marcus McLaughlin, Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity member and Kansas City, Kan., senior.
Despite low membership — there are only 70 members in the ten organizations combined — they still make a big impact on Lawrence.
"It doesn't matter how many people there are, it matters the difference you make," McGee said.
Two members of Sigma Gamma Rho adopted four families for Christmas last year, McGee said.
“It’s a small group, but imagine the difference they're making to those families,” she said.
Mccge said Sigma Gamma Rho had also sponsored minority students in the past, buying all their school supplies and clothes.
To raise money for their philanthropies, the organizations do everything from having parties at Burge Union to working at concessions stands during home football games, McLaughlin said.
The Burge Union parties aren't profitable as they were during the last school year. McLaughlin said, because of restrictions put in place after a student was shot Jan. 23 at a party sponsored by Alpha Phi Alpha fraternity. A ban was on parties at the Kansas and Burge unions after the shooting and was lifted in May.
Students who attend the parties must now pass through metal detectors and present a KUID to be admitted. The group who sponsors the parties must also pay for security.
"That cuts into the money we would make." McLaughlin said.
McLaughlin also said attendance to the parties was down this year because the new restrictions made some students uncomfortable.
But McLaughlin said they would still have parties at the Unions.
"We want everyone on campus to have fun," he said. "That's one reason not to give up on it."

Big 12 Basketball Guards bolster Sooners
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson blended perfectly with the other Big 12 Conference basketball coaches at Media Dav.
He had the look: tan suit, blue-collared shirt and a tie. A few player representatives were at his side.
He had the presence; shaking hands, being polite and making sure not to make any enemies prior to the season.
But most noticeably, he had the talk. Sampson sounded like every coach prior to the season as he spoke of question marks in the post and optimism about his team's season potential.
"We have pretty good potential." Sampson said. "The good news this year is that we have a very good group of guards back, but our front line is brand new. The last few years I didn't worry about our front line because of Eduardo (Najera). He was
a tremendous security blanket."
Although Najera is gone, Sampson has a new blanket to snuggle with—his guards.
Sophomore Hollis Price returns and is expected to start at point guard, Sampson said. Junior J.R. Raymond has the starting nod at shooting guard and senior Nolan Johnson and senior three-point specialist Tim Heskett are competing for major minutes.
Heskett said the number of experienced guards returning would only benefit the Sooners.
"It's good to have all the guards back this season," Heskett said. "It really helps with our depth and team confidence. Experience at that position will be a big key for us. We are going to miss the guys from last year because they had great leadership and on-court presence for us, but we will need to step up this year."
While Sampson said he was comfortable with his guards, post play was of prime concern. Oklahoma
lost its leader in Najera and its tallest players on this year's team stand just 6-foot-9. He can rest easy, though, knowing the potential 6-foot-8 junior college transfer Aaron McGhee brings to the Sooners. McGhee averaged 26.5 points and nine rebounds per game last year in junior college ball and was the MVP of the national junior college tournament.
The most experienced returning post player is 6-foot-6 senior Jameel Heywood. He backed up Najera, a third-team All-American, last year and will compete for the starting job at small forward.
Sampson, said his post players were tough but would have to compete even harder in order to overcome their size disadvantage.
"On our front line we don't have a lot of size and strength, but we have a lot of pretty good players," Sampson said. "If we can keep them healthy, we'll have a pretty good year."
Women hope to stay at top

Oklahoma women's basketball is not glowing with tradition.
The Sooners have been to a postseason tournament six times, and half of those were to the WNIT.
But last year Oklahoma found itself in a tie for the Big 12 Conference title and advanced to the NCAA tournament for the third time in school history. The Sooners eventually advanced to the Sweet 16 before being knocked out by Connecticut.
Now Oklahoma is trying to prove that last year's 25-win season — the most victories in school history — was not a fluke.
That all starts with a tough preseason schedule that will get the
Sooners primed for conference play.
"I think within that schedule are a lot of challenges that will prove to be tremendous opportunities for our basketball program," said Oklahoma coach Sherrie Coale.
After trading a fifth-place finish in 1990 for a share of the Big 12 crown in 2000, Coale has seen her players return with a renewed work ethic that she hasn't seen before.
"Kids exploded in the weight room, showed terrific work ethic in conditioning, and there was an amazing amount of understanding going on through our individual workouts." Coale said.
The reason for the resurgence in the gym was simple. When the Sooners came across Connecticut, a perennial women's basketball juggernaut, they were trounced by 22 points.
"It was a wake-up call that maybe I wasn't practicing and playing as hard as I can," said junior guard LaNoisea Caufield.
All the conditioning in the world, however, won't replace Phylesha Whale. Whaley was the top scorer on last year's team, averaging 20.8 points a game.
The good news is that Whaley is the only starter from last season not returning, and the Sooners have their entire backcourt coming back.
Those 20 points will most likely be trickled down to the top two returning scorers, Caufield and fellow junior guard Stacey Dales. The two combined for 28 points per game and will have to carry more of the offensive load if Oklahoma is to remain at the top of the Big 12.

YOU GOTTA LOVE A
GIRL WHO NEGOTIATES.
Picture A1 and Tipping Gore, or George and Laura Bush, as a sitcom couple who leave the West Wing at the end of the day for the typical sitcom living room with chairs and a couch. A lot is up in the air about Family First three months before it goes on the air, starting with the obvious — who's going to be the first family.
"I don't think I'm going to," Stone said. "No blood on my hands."
President to be center of sitcom
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Trey Parker and Matt Stone are having a party tonight to watch election returns, and not because they have a deep interest in tax policy or Social security reform.
The South Park creators have signed a deal with Comedy Central to produce Family First, which they describe as a subversive comedy series about the life of the next president. It's scheduled to make its debut Feb. 28.
Both men said they were not even going to take the time to influence who would be the stars of their next series by voting.
The winner of the presidential election between George W. Bush and Al Gore will be the lead character of their new sitcom.
episodes, pulling all nighters to meet deadlines. Working with real actors provides no such luxury.
It's been a nerve-racking few months preparing for Family First. In September, when Gore was riding high in the polls, Parker and Stone were collecting material expecting the series to be about him. Bush's comeback caused some panic, but lately they're feeling comfortable there will be enough material no matter who wins tonight.
"I just don't like working with people," Parker said, only half-jokingly. "Working with cardboard cutouts is great."
Parker and Stone pitched their idea to other television networks, and said NBC was interested. But after friends told them they would likely sacrifice creative freedom at a broadcast network, they decided to stick with Comedy Central. Parker and Stone also think working with Comedy Central would make it easier to continue with South Park, which they are under contract to produce for three more years.

Eight days ago, forward Sharonne Spencer ended her season for the Kansas women's basketball team when she blew out her right knee.
In a week, she will have surgery and begin her comeback for the 2001-02 season.

"It kind of snapped like a slingshot," Spencer said.
The snaps and pops were a result of her anterior cruciate ligament and lateral meniscus tearing. She also damaged her medial collateral ligament.
This was to be Spencer's first season playing for the 'Hawks. She didn't play last season because of the NCAA partial qualifier rule.
"I'm disappointed that I can't play this year," Spencer said. "But in a way, I don't really know what I am missing yet, so I can't be real mad."
While Spencer is keeping in good spirits, coach Marian Washington said it was difficult to see someone go through such a horrible injury.
One thing keeping Spencer in better spirits is her teammates' support. She
said a couple of her teammates even help out with the laundry.
"Everyone has been real supportive," Spencer said. "Anything I need, I can call them any time of the day, and they'll come help me out."
While she attends practices with a smile, Spencer said she couldn't wait to get the surgery finished and continue rehabilitation.
“It’s not that I’m anxious, but I just want to get it over with,” she said.
Spencer said she found inspiration in her teammate, sophomore Kristen May, who tore the ACL in her left knee last April and is already back and ready to play.

Soccer club qualifies for nationals

By Michael Sudhalter
Kanson sportswriter
sports@kanson.com
The Kansas men's soccer club wore out their legs and questioned their own endurance after a 48-hour, five-game stretch at the Midwestern Regional Qualifying Round Oct. 28-29 in Lubbock, Texas.
The Jayhawks won their first four games and qualified for the 16-team national tournament Nov. 16-18 in Austin, Texas. In the first round, the team defeated heavily favored Baylor 2-1 and Texas-EI Paso 1-0. The 'Hawks then defeated Southwest Texas State 3-0 and league rival Wichita State 3-1 before falling to host Tech Tech 4-0.
"Baylor was looking past us, and we surprised them," Coffin said. "We can surprise teams if they look past us."
together and ielled at regionals."
While the club lacks the formal guidance of a coach, they have found sufficient leadership skills from players such as Coffin and Chris Pirotte, Olathe graduate student.
"Since we don't have a coach, organization has been a challenge," said Jared Coffin, Stamford, Conn., junior and club president. "Other teams have coaches, trainers and travel more often."
"Although we lost our core players from last year, this team has stepped up and performed well," Pirotte said.
Coffin said the benefits of not having a coach were that higher ranked teams tended to underestimate the Jayhawks' ability to win.
Piratte, who was a member of the club two years ago when it competed at nationals in Phoenix, said he was impressed with this year's group.
Piratete also said that this team, unlike the 1988 squad that lost to Weber State in the quarterfinals, qualified for nationals instead of making it by default.
"Qualification made it a big step," Pirotte said. "This team really came
To continue their solid play, the Jayhawks will increase their number of practices from three to four days per week until the national tournament. The team is expected to run sprints to boost their endurance for its trip to Austin.
The Jayhawks have accomplished this without an key element. Unlike many of the teams they compete against, the Jayhawks do not have a coaching staff.
While the club does not know which top-notch soccer teams it will face, many team members would like to have a
rematch with Midwest Regional Champion Texas Tech.
"I think that we need to play Texas Tech early in the tournament while we are fresh." Coffin said.
Greg Bowlin, Parkville, Mo., senior,
said the Jayhawks matched up better
against the Red Raiders than the 4-0 final
score indicated.
"I would say we are just as good as
Texas Tech," Bowlin said. "The only difference is that they have more endurance then we do."
Pirlette said he agreed that Texas Tech was in better condition entering the Midwest Championship round, but he was optimistic about the next challenge.
"We need good play and a little bit of luck to succeed at nationals," Pirotte said.

Portland point guard commits to'Hawks
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
For backcourt help on the eve of the election, Kansas coach Roy Williams enlisted the help of a Democrat.
Aaron Miles, a guard for the Jefferson High Democrats in Portland, Ore., gave Williams a nonbinding verbal commitment at a press conference yesterday afternoon. Miles chose Kansas instead of Arizona, UCLA and Duke.
Miles' commitment had been rumored since Oct. 15, when Miles' best friend and teammate, shooting guard Michael Lee, committed to Williams' program.
But with the 6-foot Miles, the Jayhawks now have one of the top point guards in the nation. A highly-recruited talent in the style of former Jayhawk Jacque Vaughn, Miles was ranked as the fourth-best point guard in the nation by FoxSports.com. As a junior last season, Miles averaged 12 points and six assists per game.
With one recruit in the bag, Williams waits for another player to make his decision. Keith Langford, a 6-foot-4 guard/forward from Crowley, Texas, may be joining Miles at Kansas next season. Langford averaged 19 points per game for North Crowley High last season.
"He is the best player in the nation at point guard," Berry told the Portland Oregonian. "He can score when he wants, but he gets everyone involved with his passing. When you can dominate a game the way Aaron does, it really says a lot about a player's basketball IQ."
Todd Berry coaches the Democrats and the Portland Elite team Miles played on last summer.
Langford told online magazine Fastbreak Recruiting last week that he would commit to Kansas unless something went wrong during his visit last weekend.
His commitment would fill the fourth of five scholarship positions Kansas has to offer for next season.
Along with Miles and Lee,
Leavenworth forward Wayne Simlen has also committed to the Jayhawks. The commitments can become official on Wednesday, the first day of the fall early-signing period.
In the first Associated Press poll of the season, released yesterday, the Jayhawks were ranked No. 7 in the nation. The coach's poll, which came out last week, ranked Kansas No. 6.

Promoters try to curb lackluster attendance

In light of disappointing ticket sales this season, the ticket office is trying different ways to lure fans to the football team's home finale Saturday against Texas.
By Jason Franchuk sports at kansas.com
Kansas sportwriter
Sports Columnist
Rick Mullen, director of promotions, would like to see a larger crowd in Memorial Stadium this week. Kansas drew 32,600 fans against Colorado, but managed only 26,000 fans two weeks ago against Texas Tech in arguably Kansas' most important game of the season. Perhaps the reason was the best college football game of the year, Nebraska at Oklahoma, was taking place simultaneously. Or perhaps it was the overcast weather that threatened a rainstorm from the west.
The Jayhawks were 4-3 when they played the Red Raiders and only two games away from being bowl-eligible. Kansas, now 4-5, is still able to qualify for a bowl game, but it must defeat both No. 19 Texas at Memorial Stadium and Iowa State in the regular-season finale in Ames, Iowa.
The promotions department has a $60 package that includes a ticket for two early-season men's basketball games against North Dakota, Boise State and Washburn. A ticket for the Texas-Kansas football game is included. That deal has worked, according to Mullen, because of the unusually high number of November games
the basketball team will play.
Mullen estimated that between 25,000 to 27,000 tickets have been sold for the Texas game so far, and said some deals aimed at selling tickets have helped.
the basketball team will play. Also, any University student who has a ticket for the Texas game will be allowed to bring another student along for free.
"It's the final home game, and we'd like to have a lot of people there to watch it," Mullen said.
Kansas coach Terry Allen has remained neutral on the issue, not wanting to insult the die-hard fans. He has expressed concern, however, that a small crowd affected the outcome of the game against Texas Tech because there was no real home-field advantage to rattle the Red Raiders.
Shawn Linenburger
Kansas senior safety Carl Nesmith has been the most vocal player of the lack of fun
"We can't get any fans to come to our games," Nesmith said. "All we have is each other."
Mullen said he was surprised sales had been low for games against Texas teams, which ordinarily draw more fans. He did not think, however, that the reason for the apathy in football was because of the beginning of basketball season. Even though the argument could be made that many people had limited income and would choose one sport or the other.
Football season-ticket sales were up by about 500 this year compared to last year, Mullen said.

Cornhuskers excel in most sports; maybe it's the bugs
Trivia time — name the Nebraska nickname before the school was called the Cornhuskers.
Answer: Bugeaters. Whoa.
If you didn't hear enough about the athletic powerhouse to the north that dismantled the Jayhawk football team on Saturday, here's some more literature.
The Nebraska media guide gave no history lesson why Nebraska made a mascot change in 1899, so I will give you a possible scenario for the switch from insect eaters to manual laborers.
A massive grasshopper infestation in the late 1800s threatened corn crops across Nebraska. The only solution to combat the insects was to consume them.
Once the grasshopper problem was resolved, field upon field of corn grew in Nebraska. The increase in corn called for an increase in workers, thus most Nebraskans became Cornhuskers.
Pick a sport, and there's a good chance the 'Huskers excel in it.
But although citizens in Big Red country have a disturbing cult following, Nebraska's athletic programs are even scarier.
Whatever the nickname, Nebraska is in its own world. They pledge allegiance to the red in every sport imaginable. Having one major university in a state can do that to people.
Volleyball. Three NCAA title game appearances and one national championship in 1995. The 'Huskers have 21 conference titles as well.
Football. Yeah, that's pretty much a given. Nebraska has 38 all-time bowl appearances, including 31 consecutive and five national championships.
Wrestling. The 'Huskers haven't finished the season lower than 17th nationally since 1989. They finished in eighth place as a team in last year's NCAA championships.
**Women's soccer.** Nebraska was 23-1 in 1996 and is ranked No. 3 nationally this season going into the NCAA tournament.
**Women's rifle.** This sport was added a year ago. There are only 10 such teams in the nation, so they fall into national prominence. I heard Charlton Heston will pull the first trigger at a future Nebraska home event.
- Women's bowling. Nebraska bowlers finished last season as the No. 3 team in the nation after taking third at the Intercollegiate Bowling Championships.
Softball. Nebraska went 39-6 last season, won the Big 12 Conference title and reached the NCAA's final 16.
Baseball. A school-record 51 wins last season helped the 'Huskers to a second straight Big 12 crown. Nebraska was three runs shy of the team's first College World Series berth.
Track and field. The women's team finished in sixth place at the NCAA championships in the spring. The team also ranked No. 2 in the power rankings, which evaluates top two finishes in events. The men finished No. 9 in the same category.
Women's gymnastics. In 25 years of existence, the women's team has reached the NCAA regionals 17 times. Two years ago, the team had a fourth-place finish at nationals.
There are more storied Nebraska teams, but the above list gives one a pretty good idea of the success that oozes from Lincoln. Neb. Perhaps this explains why fans up north eat, breathe and sleep Nebraska sports.
If the teams are so great, why not support them? Maybe Nebraska fans have ample amounts of money to spend as well. What other team brings thousands upon thousands of fans to every road football game?
I enjoy despising Nebraska, but the school's amazing athletic success deserves respect.
And who knows, maybe there's something in the food in Lincoln that gives them the edge.
Maybe they still eat bugs.

Bush hangs on for victory

2000

The Associated Press
After a long, seesaw night of vote counting,
George W. Bush snuck past Al Gore to take the
seat in the White House.
It came down to the wire and the race hung in the balance over Florida.
The race was still up for grabs as votes were counted around the nation, and at 1:15 this morning. Bush could finally celebrate a nailbiter victory — one determined by one of the narrowest margins in recent history.
Gore won big battlegrounds in Pennsylvania, Michigan and California while Bush claimed Texas, Ohio and a string of smaller states, including Gore's Tennessee. Florida was pivotal and chaotic; news organizations said on one point that Gore was the winner, but the results were thrown into doubt as more votes were counted and Bush forced ahead.
Green Party candidate Ralph Nader was at 3 percent of the national vote, but doing well enough in Iowa, New Hampshire and Oregon to potentially tie those states to Bush.
Ever confident, Bush went out for dinner and awaited final returns.
"I don't believe some of these states that they called, like Florida," said the Texas governor.
Regarding the vice president, Bush said, "I've run against a formidable opponent."
The presidential race—among the closest in a generation —foretold the end to Bill Clinton's turbulent eight years in office.
As the anxiety mounted, Bush changed his plans to watch the returns with a large group of family and friends at a hotel. He opted instead for the seclusion of the governor's mansion.
Gore aides called for fresh troops for New Hampshire get out the vote operations. The Ted Kennedy campaign sent 250 or so volunteers — all that for four electoral votes.
No vote was overlooked. Party sources say
Interviews as voters left their polling places by Voter News Service said that a candidate's position on issues was more influential than
his personal qualities, and about one in five voters didn't make up their minds until the last week. Many of those tipped toward Gore.
Voters who cared most about Medicare and prescription drugs, Social Security, health care and the economy tended to favor Gore. Both candidates were seen as good for schools.
Individual considerations had an impact: Voters who cared most about a candidate's honesty favored Bush and those who wanted a president with experience mostly sided with Gore.

Students have mixed reaction to Bush win

As last night's election straddled the tightrope between candidates Al Gore and George W. Bush, students reacted to one of the closest contests in recent history that ultimately hinged on who would take Florida.
"I think it's one of the closest races I've seen since I've been alive," said Marshall Gross, Overland Park senior.
At 1:15 this morning, Bush was declared president of the United States, after taking Florida's electoral votes.
While the pundits pandered to the television audiences earlier in the evening, University of Kansas students showed their support for their sides. KU Young Democrats partied at Milton Coffee & Wine, 920 Massachusetts St. and the KU Young Republicans at a party in Kansas City for Phill Kline, 3rd District House of Representatives Republican candidate.
Eric Ohlsen Utica, Neb., senior and member of the KU Young Republicans kept a tense eye on the election as the results were tabulated. When Bush was announced as the winner, he joined the rest of the enthusiastic

Moore fights off Republican challenger
By Rob Pazell and Leita Schuites
writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writers
Dennis Moore edged Phill Kline for the 3rd Congressional District seat last night in one of Kansas' tightest races.
With 98 percent of the returns in, Moore had won 151,556 votes and Kline 140,200—a difference of 11,356 votes.
Incumbent Democrat Moore supported using the projected surplus for debt reduction rather than tax relief. He also supported local education but said the government needed to play a role in modernizing schools with more technology going into the classrooms. Moore won the seat in 1998, edging Republican Vince Snowbarer in another close race.
His victory speech last night at the Ritz Charles in Overland Park remembered the 1998 campaign.
"I thought nothing could be better than two years ago, and this is even better," he said. "Thank you."
But Moore added that the election's results reflected voter reaction to Kline's campaign tactics.
Moore's speech began after a phone call from Kline, who conceded the election.
"Sometimes he was up and everyone was happy," Sternberg said. "Then it got down to the wire and we all got concerned. When you hear those results, though, you have to realize that Phill fought well and campaigned well."
"I do want to say Phill was very gracious in his concession tonight," Moore said. "I mean that very seriously."
"Voters regret negative campaigns," he
said.
Moore listed tax cuts, reduction of the national debt and HMO reforms as priorities for his new term. He said that Kansans were tired of partisan politics, and that he would work to represent an American agenda.
Edited by Erin McDaniel
Kline campaigned to cut taxes and supported using the budget surplus for further tax relief. He also supported local education and said the federal government should play a limited role in schools. Kline was re-elected four consecutive times to the Kansas House of Representatives.
Kline received the news in his camp at the DoubleTree Hotel in Overland Park and gave an emotional address to end his run.
"Part of leadership is recognizing defeat," Kline said. "I stand here in victory because we stood up for what we believe in."
Kline said that he was exhausted after his campaign and that the time off would serve him well.
"I'm going to get a good night sleep tonight; then I'm going to spend some wonderful time with my family," Kline said.
Joe Walberg, Shawne senior and vicechairman of College Republicans, said the tightness of the race made it difficult to build expectations.
"It was so close you didn't have any expectations of a winner or a loser," Walberg said.
Jonathan Sternberg, Leawood sophmore, worked on Kline's campaign and said the ups and downs of the polls made it a night of mixed emotions.
Student voters turn out strongly
By Kursten Phelps

Kansan staff writer
More than 400 students filed through Allen Fieldhouse yesterday, but they weren't there for a basketball game.
The fieldhouse was the official polling site for residents of Daisy Hill residence halls, Jayhawker Towers and Oliver Hall.
Polling judges said the fieldhouse site had about 1,050 registered voters. By 3:30 p.m. yesterday, more than 400 had already voted and a line of about 30 students stretched beyond the voting booths.
"It's going good," polling judge Art Haug said. "They won't let us rest."
The convenient location made the decision to go to the polls easier, said Jason Barricklow, Newton senior.
"I probably would have voted anyway, but it would have been a
lot more annoying," said Barricklow, an Oliver Hall resident.
Barricklow said he voted for Republican George W. Bush because he agreed with the Republican standpoint on the issues.
Barricklow said he was eligible to vote four years ago, but didn't. The difference today, he said, was that he registered in time, thanks to a campus voter registration drive.
"The U.S. is one of the countries where we have the opportunity to vote," he said. "You have to exercise that right."
Psachal Calloway, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore, said she voted for Democrat Al Gore.
"He seems the most honest and will help all people," Calloway said. "I didn't like Bush, and his son seems to act just like him."
Callaway said she voted because it was a way to effect change.
"Especially because I'm African-
Roommates Bethany Duncan and Amanda Baker said they both voted for George W. Bush and made the trip to the polls together.
"I don't really like either of them, but I think Bush is the lesser of the two evils," said Baker, Effingham freshman.
American, we've fought so hard to get the vote. If I didn't vote, what's the purpose?" Calloway said.
Duncan, also an Effingham freshman, said she voted to voice her opinion as a young person.
"It's our duty. I wanted to vote to get my say in so that we don't let all the adults run everything," Duncan said. "A lot of stuff is going to affect us."
Mike Delaney, Prairie Village freshman who voted for Gore, said he probably wouldn't have cast his ballot if he had to go to an off-campus polling site.
"I voted for Gore because we'd be in trouble with Bush," Delaney said. "Bush just doesn't look like a very smart man."

Seminar will focus on control information
Members of the KU community can participate in a day-long seminar today, "From Crisis to Reform; Scholarly Communications and the Tempe Principles," to discuss who should publish and control the publication terms of scholarly information.
Richard Fyffe, assistant dean for scholarly publications, said that rising
journal costs from the last decade were making it difficult for libraries to continue subscribing to scholarly publications, which means less publications are available for students and staff.
"The problem of rising costs is not one that librarians can solve themselves," Fyffe said. "We need to work collaboratively with the scholars to find solutions that work for all of us."
The Provost's Office and the KU Libraries will sponsor the seminar, which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union. Interested participants can attend all or part of the seminar.
The seminar is open to the entire KU community including faculty, students and staff.

Former student jailed for probation violation
Gregory Lee Hunsucker II was booked into the Douglas County Jail at 1:14 p.m. Monday on suspicion of violating his probation.
Twentyyear-old Hunsucker, Lenexa, was a University of Kansas student in 1998 when he was accused of raping a female student in Ellsworth Hall. He was tried on the rape charge twice, in June and September 1999, and the trials ended with hung juries both times.
Hunsucker also was charged with sexually battering a female student in Ellsworth on the same day and furnishing alcohol to a minor. He pleaded guilty to furnishing alcohol to a minor, and the jury in the first trial found him not guilty of sexual assault.
Hunsucker was released from the jail at 5:23 p.m. Monday on $352.50 bond. His first appearance is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Monday.
Hunsucker no longer attends the University.

Fires on Ohio Street cause little damage
Fire trucks were called to a private residence on the 1300 block of Ohio Street at 8:06 last night. Officials were called after a student from K.K. Amini Scholarship Hall noticed a small fire across the street on the house's back porch. Capt. Shaun Coffey of the Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Department said the fire had caused no injuries and had done minimal damage.
The cause of the fire still is under investigation.
Another fire was reported on the 1400 block of Ohio Street around 10 p.m. last night. A woman's Geo Metro was reported burning, Lawrence police said. Police said the cause of the fire was not known but said it loked like somebody tried to light the car on fire and burglarize it.
James Lasley, Moran junior, said he saw a Caucasian male run across the parking lot, jump a wall and then run up the hill toward Stevenson Scholarship Hall.
"I've seen people jog to their car because it's cold before but never at a dead sprint and jump a fence." Lasley said. "He acted really suspicious, looking around and behind him."

NASA hacker pleads guilty to invading computer systems
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A 20-year-old computer hacker pleaded guilty to federal charges of infiltrating sensitive computer systems, including those at Stanford University and NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif.
Jason Allen Diekman of Mission Viejo, Calif. entered a written plea Monday after negotiating with prosecutors. Sentencing was set for Feb. 5.
Diekman was charged with illegal hacking and using stolen credit card numbers to buy more than $6,000 worth of stereo speakers, clothing and computer equipment.
Prosecutors said Diekman hacked into "hundreds, maybe thousands" of computers during a two-year period, compromising systems at UCLA, Harvard, Cornell, University of California, San
Diego, and California State Fullerton.
The most serious invasions were at the National Aeronautics and Space Administration's Jet Propulsion Laboratory and Stanford. The lab's two computers were broken into at the "root level," which gives an intruder the ability to create, delete or modify files and to alter security on the system.
Diekman, using the nickname Shadow Knight, also gained control of 24 computer systems at Stanford, including two owned by NASA that contained flight control software for the agency's satellites. He didn't disrupt NASA operations, prosecutors said.
Diekman was taken into federal custody in September and held without ball. He had been jailed in Orange County since August on unrelated charges.

Stouffer residents denied 2-for-1 parking
By Rob Pazell
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The Parking Board yesterday denied Stouffer Place residents' request for "two-for-one" parking passes, leaving residents to turn to the Department of Student Housing for a compromise.
Two-for-one permits would allow the married residents of Stouffer Place to get two spaces for two vehicles for the price of a regular permit.
The motion was sent before the Parking Board Rules Committee, which decided that this request would set a precedent prompting similar requests from married students living in other University housing. The board voted 4-3, with two members abstaining.
Beverly Nightingale, rules committee member, said she supported the request before the rules committee meeting but changed her mind when she considered the ramifications.
"This would open the door to allow income-based parking," Nightingale said. "I don't want to set a precedent for allowing a discount based on income."
Morris Faiman, chairman of the rules committee, said the problem should be handled by the residents and student housing
"Bottom line, it's a Stouffer Place problem," said Faiman, who voted against the request. "We ask them to meet with Ken Stoner and look for an alternative plan."
Stoner, director of student housing, said the housing department could not finalize any decisions on the request.
"My board can make recommendations," Stoner said. "But parking decides ultimately."
Stouffer Place has requested purchasing two parking passes for the price of one for three years, and the parking board has denied it each time. The request would have cut down on the cost of living for Stouffer Place and Sunflower Apartment residents with low incomes.
Trisha Kroll, president of the Stouffer Neighborhood Association, said she was optimistic about yesterday's close decision in comparison with the past.
"We've done this for three years, and it's been a quick and dirty decision," Kroll said. "This time it seems like they want to look for a compromise."
A potential compromise presented would be for residents to pay full price for one pass, and half price for the second pass. Kroil, who plans to talk to Stoner tomorrow, would welcome this idea.
"It would be better than what it is now," Kroll said. "It's a step in the right direction."

Former Med Center chairwoman resigns
Handling of clinic's possible relocation prompted decision
By Melissa Davis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff write
Jane Murray, former chairwoman for the University of Kansas Medical Center's family medicine department, resigned last week as a part-time professor, saying the administrators had "broken the last straw."
Murray said she resigned Oct. 30 because of the center's plans to move the family medicine and obstetrician and gynecology clinics from Wyandotte County to Johnson County.
But public relations representatives from the Med Center, including Dennis McCulloch, director of public relations, said the move was a rumor.
"It was never an option not to be in Wyandotte County," he said.
"To say it was never their intention is called lying," she said.
Murray was chairwoman of the center's family medicine department for seven years, from 1991 to 1997. Although Murray stepped down from her position in December 1997, she maintained faculty status as an unpaid professor working with resident physicians.
Murray said she had written her resignation because talks of a move proved to her that administrators didn't care about the family medicine clinics.
"I think a lot of problems at KU Med are in terms of leadership
"I think a lot of problems at KU Med are in terms of leadership with minimal vision and, now we see, with minimal honesty."

with minimal vision and, now we see, with minimal honesty," she said.
Murray said she had stayed with the Med Center because she wanted to teach but changed her mind after many problems started to stack up including:
Dismissal of a faculty member who was responsible for placement of resident physicians in rural areas.
- Assignments of the dismissed faculty members given to a clerical worker.
Failure to employ a permanent chairman for the family medicine department.
"I really didn't want my name affiliated with a place that I really couldn't trust." Murray said.
Donald Hagen, executive vice chancellor, said it was unfortunate that Murray resigned because the move to Johnson County was just a rumor.
Hagen said that someone had mentioned as a possibility a clinic that the University owned in Johnson County but that no decision to move there had ever been made.
"Someone became overzealous, then everyone thought it was going to happen, but no final decisions had been made," he said. "We are redesigning a new space
for family medicine."
Hagen said that the new clinic would be renovated and occupied in five to six months and that it would be on the ground floor of a campus location.
But Murray said the administration was back-tracking when the story broke in the Kansan to avoid heat from the community.
"I don't understand then why they took the current chairwoman to look at possible space to move the clinics," she said.
Hagen confirmed that a new cardiology clinic would occupy the current family medicine space. Hagen said the clinic never planned to move off campus.
"We could never move the clinic off campus," he said. "We need the Med Center on campus for students, professors and patients."
City projects to brook rising water demand
By Matt Merkel-Hess
Edited by Erin McDaniel
Kansan staff writer
The Bowersock Dam needs a facelift, and city commissioners hope to operate soon.
The constant wash of the Kansas River has eroded the concrete-and-stone dam, which had its last significant repair in 1978 when the Massachusetts Street bridge was built.
The commission voted for a $1 million repair plan yesterday recommended by Black & Veatch, a Kansas City, Mo., engineering company. The dam is owned by the city and leased to the Bowersock Mills and Power Co.
Improving the dam is vital for the power mill and maintaining a high water level for the upstream intake of the city's Kaw River Water Treatment Plant, said Chris Stewart, water systems engineer.
"If the dam wasn't there the water levels would be too low with our current intake system." he said.
Black & Veatch estimated a new intake to accommodate a lower river level would cost between $12 million and $18 million.
The city plans to repair the dam this winter while the river levels are low. Stewart said the next steps would be hiring an engineer and getting the project approved with the state.
The commission also approved a city staff recommendation to expand the Clinton Water Treatment Plant — a project originally planned for 2002. The Clinton plant treats more than a third of the city's water supply.
The city will begin the first phase of the project immediately, increasing the plant's supply from 10 to 15 million gallons per day. The project will cost about $6.7 million.
During the past three years, the city's demand for water has increased, hitting record levels this summer.
The capacity of the two water plants is 28.5 million gallons per day, which was exceeded once this summer by almost one million gallons. A pump failure during a peak-use time would require forced rationing. Stewart said.
"With both water plants, we could just about meet the demands this year," he said. The second phase of the Clinton Lake project will now start in 2005 and will increase the plant's capacity from 15 to 20 million gallons per day.
In other action:
Commissioners approved leasing office space from the Lawrence Riverfront Plaza to accommodate housing and neighborhood development, as well as fire, housing and environmental inspectors and a city training room.

DO NOT DIGGE
OR STEER AWAY
The commission met with business owners from the 900 block of Massachusetts Street to resolve problems with temporary parking created to mitigate lost parking spots on the 900 block of New Hampshire because of construction. After debate among the business owners, the commission approved moving the block of four 15-minute loading zone spots to halfway between the crosswalk of the 900 block of Massachusetts Street and the intersection of Massachusetts and 10th streets.

Nontraditional student finds niche through organizations
50-year-old adjusts to university life
By Jennifer Valdez

Kansas staff writer
Deena Hardie says it's weird being a college student but never getting gardened when she tries to buy beer.
it's one of the many things that separates Hardie, a 50-year-old nontraditional student, from other students at the University of Kansas. She said she often thought she was socially out-of-place on campus.
"It's not like you're coming into a situation where you already know people," she said. "When you're out of town, out of state or generation, it's different, and getting involved in student organizations was
really wonderful for me."

as a nontraditional student in these organizations gave her a perspective different from other

After graduating from high school in the late '70s, Hardie moved to New York. She ended up working 20 years on Wall Street as an institutional stock broker.
"After high school, I wanted to have fun, make a lot of money and live in New York, so I did," she said.
Hardie moved back to Kansas in 1997 and started classes at the University of Kansas in Spring 1998. Some of the reasons Hardie moved back were to take care of her mother and to expose her daughter to the Midwest.
"I thought my daughter would like to see Kansas, and she likes it here," she said.

Her daughter, Lauren Hardie-Vallone, is a freshman at the University.
Hardie is majoring in history with a focus in East Asian studies. When she graduates in May with a bachelor's degree, Hardie said she would like to pursue a career in portfolio management, where she would manage investors' money in stocks. Hardie said she liked working in stocks because it wasn't a gender-competitive field.
"It's a great job for women because there's no pay discrepancy," she said. "Finance is talent-based, not gender-based, and that's hard to find."
Shyra McGee, Wichita senior, works with Hardie in KU Nontrads.
"She was always supportive of nontraditional students and was a 'getting-things-done' sort of person," McGee said. "She's very open-minded, and that's what we appreciate."
Hardie said she appreciated the opportunities the University provided for nontraditional students such as the on-campus day care center, tutoring services and organizations such as KU Nontrads.
"With an organization like Nontrads, it's great because it's a great resource center," she said. "It's not like dealing with the University; it's dealing with people who are going through the same things."
"The University is doing a good job in accommodating nontrads. They're bending over backward for us, and it warms my heart."

Former residents continue disputes
By J.D. McKee
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Although two months have passed, the song remains the same for former Jefferson Commons residents who said they were overcharged for damage to their apartments.
Jeremy Arthur, who used to live in the complex, said many former residents still disputed charges and have refused to pay.
"I'm currently writing letters back and forth with them," said Arthur, Erie senior.
Several former tenants have complained that Jefferson Commons, 2511 W. 31st St., took their $275 deposits and charged them sometimes hunderds of dollars extra upon move-out without justification. They say Jefferson Commons sent letters to former residents threatening to sue if the charges weren't paid right away and would not discuss the matter on the phone.
Eve Horn, vice president and divisional manager for property management within the student housing division of JPI, which owns Jefferson Commons, said if tenants felt they were wrongly charged, management would go through the bills again.
Horn said that the charges were usually for damages to the complex.
"If we didn't have to do the work, they shouldn't have been charred," she said.
"If they damage the unit, we're going to charge them for it," she said.
Arthur said that Jefferson Commons did agree take a minimal amount off his charge but that it was not enough to placate him.
Arthur said he didn't agree with the fees.
"The amounts they charged were excessive." he said.
Cornell Mayfield, tenant and landlord counselor for Housing and Credit Counseling. Inc., said the tenants shouldn't allow that.
Arthur said he and his roommates had hired a carpet cleaner before they moved out but were still charged for having the carpet cleaned.
"They should go to small claims court to get that back," he said.
Arthur said the Better Business Bureau called in the complaints, but Joyce Woodard, president of the bureau, said there had not been a trend of major complaints about Jefferson Commons.
"There has not been a pattern of outstanding problems." she said.
Arthur said that although many had chose to dispute the charges, others had paid.
"That's probably what I'll do," Arthur said. "it's easier to pay than to get a lawyer."
Arthur said he was angry about the way the complex took advantage of tenants.
"It works out in their favor." he said. "If they threaten this out of college students who have other things on their mind and don't how this works."

First-time voter learns lessons of democracy
I'd been a long time since I'd been that excited to receive a sticker.
A smiling woman with a gray up-do and a scarf plumming around her neck like a red, white and blue lion's mane handed it to me. Instead of finding a place for it in a dog-eared Hello Kitty sticker book, I slapped it proudly on my chest. "I voted" it read.
"I voted." it read.
It was my first time ... obviously. The permanent half-simile on my face compared with the scolls of seasoned voters in the hour-long line surely blew my cover. But I didn't care. I was voting in my first presidential election. Finally, "Enlivening" appropriately describes the first-time-voter feeling. For 18 years I was kept silent. Although given the opportunity to voice my opinion in high school political science classes, I said nothing that had any official impact. For the three years since age 18, I've
been living under a political regime whose inception I had nothing to do with. Finally, at age 21, I have a voice, no matter how debatable it might be in this election.

I arrived at the polls Saturday with other advance voters. Upon entering the building, I got in line and it looked long — long enough to inspire one prospective voter to ask just how long.
Emily Hughey opinion editor opinion@kansas.com
A man looked at his watch and stamped his foot while another woman gave a loud, throaty sigh before both of them returned to their respective cars. I exchanged smiles with the recoiled volunteer and moved two steps ahead in the line.
"About an hour or so," the volunteer at the door answered sheepish.
An hour of standing gives you good time to think. It was one last chance to contemplate the issues and to let my mind wander. Although my decision already was made, the "your vote doesn't really count" devil on one shoulder batted with the idealist "you can still make a difference" angel on the other.
I stayed in line amid cranky suburban parents with their soccer-uniformed children, jolly-looking grandparents explaining the voting process to 7-year-olds, and 20 something students in ragged sweets browsing catalogs.
"Save some time," the devil said. "The Electoral College determines it all anyway."
The angel countered, "It's your civic duty and freedom to vote. The popular vote counts for something."
Despite the glares, heavy sighs and rolling eyes around me, the scene was heartening. Kids played in the halls, strangers casually discussed partisan issues and people read the morning paper. Blank-faced little kids stood in line at the Kids Voting polls so they could fill in the blanks and get free popcorn when they finished. Some people made plans to charter a plane on their cell phones while others in tattered sweat pants and old shoes stood empty-handed.
The spectrum of people at the polls refreshed me. Although no one appeared to be the same, and not everybody had the same motivations, every individual had at least one thing in common: They were all there to vote. Even though I didn't agree with a word the red-headed woman preached behind me, nor with the more delicate rhetoric of the middle-aged couple ahead of me, it didn't matter. It was enough to know that, no matter what any of us believed, we could let it be known officially.
When I ultimately reached the large, square room filled with rows of royal-blue plastic voting booths, I gave a satisfied laugh to myself. As I approached the front of the room, an elderly man waved me to the ballot table. He must have caught me smiling.
"Black marker's already in there waiting for you. miss." he said.
"Hello there," he said exuberantly. After handing me the ballot and the envelope and directing me to a booth, he winked.
I pored over the ballot, making sure each circle I chose was darkened like the example sheet posted in the booth. Then, after looking over it once more, I sealed the envelope, put it in the box and looked up to meet the glance of a gray-haired woman with sparkling eyes.
"Have a sticker, honey," she said, reaching out her hand.
"Thanks," I said with a grin. I then walked past the other voters and out the building feeling like a citizen with a voice ... finally.

Certain phrases carry unexpected meanings
Choosing just the right word can make a "B" paper an "A" paper, or it can help us break the news to someone a little more smoothly. Choosing the wrong word (especially in a foreign language) sometimes has humorous results. Poor word choice doesn't usually have serious implications.
But a Coca-Cola ad that has run in the Kansas this semester chose the wrong
"caught red handed"
carried serious consequences.

"Caught red handed" was one of several offensive terms used in common discourse that DPET discussed. The
term has two possible origins, she said. It could be of European origin, referring to being caught with bloody hands after a murder. The other explanation, which more people seem to accept, is that "caught red handed" refers to Native Americans and the misperception that they are prone to stealing.
Either way, the phrase took on a whole new meaning for me after hearing this. Like other words, it has become such a part of common speech that its origins
Erinn Barcomb
readers'

reader@erinn.com/kansan.com
have been forgotten by many people. How many people in junior high and high school knew that when saying they were "gypping" class they were using a phrase derived from negative assumptions about gypsies?
In discussions of racism and prejudice, we often talk about people being ignorant. Generally we conjure up the image of someone who is stubborn and refuses to learn or change his or her ways. Many times, though, ignorance is just a matter of not knowing, especially when we are removed from the origins of a phrase like "caught red handed."
In conversation, such a slip-up would be embarrassing and offensive for the people involved. When the phrase is used in an advertisement circulated across campus, the mistake becomes more difficult to forgive. I'm thankful that the ad has changed its tone and now uses the phrase "caught in the red zone."
Although the Kansan news staff isn't involved with the creation or placement of ads, we have to take some responsibility for content. In many ways, I think advertising has the potential to be more disturbing and offensive than news or opinion content that readers disagree with. News and opinion have a basis in reality. With advertising, we are free to create whatever scene, scenario or image we want, no matter how far from reality.
As readers, we need to evaluate ads with the critical eye we use to look at news and opinion pieces.
As people fighting ignorance, we need to choose our words carefully.

Post-election season calls for activism
Editorial
Voters can't stop being involved just because the election is finished.
The elections are over, and soon there will be a new president-elect with new ideals and a new vision for the future of America. Once each person cast his or her vote, there was no way that the decision could be reversed as to who would serve the next term as President of the United States.
There are many ways to become involved, not only at the federal level, but also at the state and local levels as well. This week we did not vote just for president but also for Congress and many other officials. This was the time to exercise your right to vote and have a voice in what would occur in the next four years.
Whether the next president is Gore or Bush, we should not let that discourage us from continuing to work for our own beliefs concerning different issues. Continue to support your candidate and do what you can to stay involved in the politics of the nation.
Many people will be disheartened if their candidate is not elected, but that should not make a person apathetic to what happens next. The fact that their candidate is not in office should motivate them to get out there and work even more to endorse their party and their candidates for office.
The new president will change the way things are in this country and that is why it is important that Americans exercise their right to take part in elections and express to their representatives what they would like to see happen for the country. That is the only way to get anything done, and we are very lucky, as American citizens, to have that right. People should not dwell on the outcome of the election, but rather look into the future and find ways to make a difference, even if only a small one.

Republicans retain control of U.S. Congress
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Republicans defeated Democrats for continued control of the House yesterday, winning five seats in the East but giving two back in New York and Dklahoma. Democrats looked to California for offsetting gains.
On a night extremely kind to incumbents, three Republican lawmakers easily turned aside well-financed Democratic challengers in Kentucky.
Two House Democrats were turned out of office. Rep. Sam Gejdenson lost a bid for an 11th term in Connecticut, and first-term Democrat Rush Holt lost in New Jersey by fewer than 1,000 votes out of 290,000 cast.
Republicans also won Democratic open seats in Pennsylvania, New York and Virginia.
Voter News Service projected
Republicans would retain control, based on interviews with voters as they left the polls across the country.
Well after 1 a.m. in the East, the national trend showed Republicans had won 202 seats and were leading for 21 more, with 218 required to seal control. Democrats had won 180 seats, and were leading for 30 more.
Democrats needed to gain eight seats to guarantee a majority in the House that convenes in January.
Republicans had won five seats formerly held by Democrats, and were leading for three more.
Democrats had won two seats formerly, in GOP hands, and were leading for six more.
A Republican victory would mean a new term as speaker for Dennis Hastert of Illinois, re-elected easily to an eight term in the House.
The Democratic leader, Dick Gehardt of Missouri, was leading
in his bid for a new term, his 13th and carefully watching the national trend to see whether he would regain the gavel he handed over to the Republicans nearly six years ago.
Retirements brought new blood into the House.
Former University of Nebraska football coach Tom Osborne easily held an open seat for the Republicans with 82 percent of the vote — a rout not unlike some that his teams administered on the gridiron.
All 435 House seats were on the ballot, but the two sides focused their attention on 40 or so highly competitive races likely to determine which party would hold power alongside a new president.
In Oklahoma, Democrat Brad Carson claimed an open seat that Republicans had won in their 1994 landslide. The incumbent, Rep. Tom
Coburn, retired after adhering to a self-imposed limit of three terms. Democrats found success in an open Long Island seat, winning a complicated five-way race.
But Republicans took away a seat in Pennsylvania, where a veteran Democrat opted for an ultimately unsuccessful bid for a Senate seat; and another in New York, claiming the seat held by Rep. Michael Forbes, a Republican-turned Democrat. In Virginia, the GOP also won a seat vacated by veteran Democrat Owen Pickett.
The GOP also mounted a strong challenge for a Democratic open seat in Missouri, and narrowly held onto a seat vacated by a veteran Republican lawmaker in Florida who unsuccessfully sought a Senate seat.
In polling place interviews during the day, a majority of voters said government is doing too many
things better left to businesses and individuals. Voters who felt that way favored Republican candidates for the House. Those who thought government should do more to solve problems sided with Democrats.
The poll, conducted by Voter News Service, found that Republicans fared best among voters who listed taxes as the most important issue. Democrats led among voters who named Medicare, prescription drugs, the economy and jobs, education and Social Security. VNS is a consortium of the Associated Press and the television networks.
The most closely watched contests were scattered in all regions of the country. California, the most populous state, had five competitive seats, and offered Democrats the prospects of several gains.
Dozens of incumbents in each party were coasting to new terms by lopsided margins. In Virginia's
northern suburbs, Democratic Rep. Jim Moran and Republican Rep. Tom Davis were coasting to re-election with roughly two-thirds of the vote - in adjoining districts.
Much of the action revolved around open seats, the 26 districts where Republican incumbents were not on the ballot and nine where Democrats were not. A small number of incumbents in each party faced strenuous challenges, as well.
As the polls closed on the costliest campaign in history, Democrats needed to pick up eight seats to dislodge the Republicans and regain the power they lost in the GOP landslide of 1994.
The expiring House includes 222 Republicans, 209 Democrats, two independents, one siding with each party, and two vacancies, also split between the parties. One Democrat. Rep. Jim Trafficant, has said he will support a Republican for speaker.

enthusiastic Republican crowd who were clapping and yelling. "I'm thrilled" he said.
Ohlsen said even though Bush was not always a perfect person, he would make the perfect president.
"He has made his mistakes in the past, but people fail to realize that everyone makes mistake," Ohlsen said." I know Bush will surround himself with qualified people, because one person cannot be an expert on everything." Peter Gogol dropped his head in his hands when the result was announced.

"That's Nader's fault," said Gogol, Cranston, R.I. freshman and member of the Young Democrats' executive committee.
"They're bringing out their constituency well, as well as being able to draw in independent voters." he said.
Still the race was close.
Joe Walberg, Shawnee senior and vice-chair of the Young Republicans said that the close race showed that both candidates ran a good race.
Jesse Oehlert, KU Young Democrats secretary and Haven junior, said he was worried about the implications of last night's results.
"I'm afraid there's going to be one party dominating the legislative and executive branches," Oehlert said. "With the appointment of judges that's going to come, one party could dominate all three branches, and that will have a big impact on the future. A lot hinges on the balance of power."

Nader falls short of 5 percent threshold

Its candidate had no chance of winning the presidency, but that didn't stop the KU Green Party from having a victory party last night.
Members of the KU Green Party are happy that their candidate, Ralph Nader, raised important issues in the campaign, even though he only won about 2 percent of the popular vote.
Nader needed to receive 5 percent of the popular vote for the Green Party to be eligible for federal funds in the 2014 presidential election.
Dawn Stender, Palatine, Ill.
senior, said it didn't matter.
"It won't hurt our spirit," she said. "It's just one obstacle among other ones."
Nader drew the most votes in states like Colorado, Nevada. New Hampshire, Oregon, Washington and Wisconsin.
"We think he had a great campain," said Dalyn Cook, Colorado Springs, Colo., sophomore and Nader supporter. "Irrespective of what happens in the polls, Nader has scored some major victories."
Cook said Nader brought up issues the other two major candidates avoided, like corporate crime,
corporate welfare and living wages.
"We know we're not going to win the presidency," said Aaron Jacobs, Leawood freshman. "The election is about becoming a third party watchdog of whoever wins."
Members of the KU Green Party said they would use the election as a stepping stone to build the party as an alternative to the Democrats and Republicans.
"For us, it's a beginning, a start of a progressive movement," Cook said.
Jacobs said he hoped it would be the beginning of more choices in elections.
"Nader kept saying if you vote for
the lesser of two evils, you confirm that you're going to have worse candidates and you're supporting it," Jacobs said.
Jacobs also said the KU Green Party was more active than the other KU political groups.
"One lady said the only reason she voted for Nader was because of how dedicated the KU Greens are," he said.
Jacobs said the party would still be active in non-election years to get voters motivated to make a change and not settle for mediocrity.

ST. LOUIS — A live incumbent found himself defeated by a dead challenger Tuesday night in a pivotal U.S. Senate election transformed by tragedy during the campaign's final days.
Carnahan wins Missouri Senate race

Late Democratic Gov. Mel Carnahan edged out Republican incumbent John Ashcroft early this morning with 50.3 percent of the vote, compared to Ashcroft's 48.5 percent.
Carnahan's 68-year-old widow, Jean, will inherit the seat after declaring herself strong enough to accept appointment to a two-year Senate term. She was at home in Rolla Tuesday night.
The crash occurred too late to revise the ballot. No one had ever posthumously won election to the Senate, though voters on at least three occasions sent deceased candidates to the House.
The plane crash that killed Democratic Gov. Mel Carnahan,
his son and an alce last month turned his nationally watched contest against Republican Sen. John Ashcroft from notoriously bitter to blazer.
Ashcroft, 58, took an eight-day hiatus from campaigning, which he said hurt him when polls gave the deceased governor an edge.
Meanwhile, amid a grassroots effort to maintain momentum for the Carnahan name, the late governor's campaign spent $700,000 to broadcast a direct appeal from Mrs. Carnahan to keep her husband's vision alive.
He resumed with an ad featuring former Sen. John Danforth making this cryptic assertion: "What's happening today to John Ashcroft is just not right."
Ashcroft and GOP backers also attacked the media, saying journalists were suppressing his message.
Carnahan did best among younger voters and moderates, according to exit polling by Voter News Service. The poll of 1,444 Missouri voters found suburbanites favored Ashcroft, while Carnahan held the cities and the two split the rural vote.
In St. Louis, long lines of voters led a state judge, at Democrats' request, to order the city to keep its polls open until 10 p.m., three extra hours. A shortage of booths, ballots, judges and equipment had vexed the city throughout the day.
or minus 3.5 percentage points.
The two campaigns raised an estimated $16 million.
The sampling error was plus
But the Board of Election Commissioners appealed swiftly, and a three-judge panel of the Missouri Court of Appeals ordered the polls closed immediately — after they had been open nearly an extra hour.
The petition was filed by Congressional candidate William Lacy Clay, the Missouri Democratic Committee and the Gore-Lieberman campaign.

KANSAS CITY Mo
KANSAS CITY, Mo.
Republican Jim Talent, the city congressman, rolled surprising rural strength into a narrow lead for governor Tuesday, as Democrat Bob Holden exuded confidence that St. Louis votes would give him a victory.
With 86 percent of 4,450 precincts reporting, Talent and Holden were tied at 49 percent each, though Holden was leading by about 2,200 votes at 1 a.m.
At least that many ballots were still uncounted in the largest metropolitan areas. Holden told his cheering backers in St. Louis: "I didn't promise you we'd win by a landslide. I just promised you we'd win."
If he continued rolling up St. Louis votes, Holden declared, "You're looking at the next governor of Missouri."
Talent also waited with his supporters, who kept chanting and applauding. "I'm on the edge, waiting for the outcome," Talent said shortly before midnight.
Winning would assure Talent of a place in Missouri history; no St. Louis area candidate had been elected governor since World War II.
Votes were still out in the Kansas City and St. Louis Democratic strongholds, and an exit poll gave Holden, the two-term state treasurer, a 58 percent to 40 percent lead over Talent in the metropolitan areas.
But Talent led in the Voter News Service exit poll in rural Missouri, outpacing Ozarks-reared Holden 52 percent to 46 percent outstate. Talent also led in suburban areas, 58 percent to 38 percent.
"I feel very good but I always believed that basically the same issues and positions would resonate everywhere," Talent said in an interview. He had stressed education and highway building. "I feel a great deal of peace and satisfaction over this whole thing."
Holden, the two-term state treasurer, was smiling as he went toe-toe-
oe with Talent across the state.
Tiny Gentry County in northwest Missouri was a symbol of the race's closeness: Holden carried it by one vote, 1,523-1,522, with all ballots counted.
Holden depended upon help from Democrats in the city of St. Louis, where extremely long lines at polling places prompted his party to persuade a circuit judge to issue an order keeping polls open three hours late.
But the city election board rushed to a state appeals court panel, which ordered doors closed on city polls around 7:40 p.m. Still, an unknown number of city voters apparently were able to get into line to vote after 7 p.m.
Holden campaign manager Richard Martin said keeping polls open later gave voters "an opportunity to do their constitutional duty."
And, Martin said in deep understatement, "these St. Louis votes can make the difference."
Holden attributed part of the higher turnout to renewed voter commitment following the plane crash death of Democratic Gov. Mel Carnahan, the party's U.S. Senate nominee.
Talent, four-term representative from Chesterfield, said Carnahan's death Oct. 16 overshadowed the closing stretch of races for governor and other offices.
Still, he and Holden, who calls Jefferson City home, kept slugging about education and taxes, highways and values.
The other nominees for governor were John M. Swenson, Libertarian Party; Richard L. Smith, Constitution Party; Richard Allen Kline, Reform Party; and Lavoy "Zakl Baruti" Reed, Green Party. The Rev. Larry Rice, television evangelist and homeless advocate, was running as an independent.

NEW YORK — For the first time in his political life, the label "candidate" did not apply to Bill Clinton and there was little for him to do on Election Day beyond root from afar for his vice president and in person for his wife — the only first lady ever elected to public office.
After a day at their home in Chappaqua, the president and daughter Chelsea accompanied first
lady Hillary R o d h a m Clinton to down t own Manhattan to celebrate her historic victory over Rep. Rick Lazio in the New York Senate race.
Cheers echoed through the cavernous atrium of the Grand Hyatt Hotel as the

Hillary Clinton will be first First Lady elected to public office
first lady's supporters, watching televised reports, learned she had won. The Clintonts were in an upstairs suite watching returns and planned to greet those crowds later.
"He's very pleased. He's very excited. He's thrilled." White House press secretary Jake Siewert said of the president's reaction to the first lady's victory.
Almost as soon as the sun crested above the trees Tuesday, Clinton, his wife and their daughter were at Douglas Grafflin Elementary School in Chappaqua, casting their ballots for her and the Democratic presidential ticket of Al Gore and Joe Lieberman.
"You can't put me down as undecided," the president said as he emerged from behind the booth curtain.
With that, Clinton began his official journey to the sidelines. Still, he firmly rejected the lame duck label: "Some people thought I was a lame duck in '95. It just keep quacking. I've got another 10 weeks to quack."
Clinton called radio stations in targeted states to encourage voter turnout.
In an interview with New York station WBAI, Clinton turned combative after the host suggested that Green Party candidate Ralph Nader's supporters believe Clinton was "responsible for taking the Democratic Party to the right."
"What is the measure of taking the Democratic Party to the right?" Clinton asked, and launched into a defense of his policies.
"Now I have talked to you a long time," Clinton said. "It's Election Day, there is a lot of other people in America. I've got to go."
While Democratic throngs converged on Nashville, Tenn., for Gore's big night, Clinton said he didn't miss being on the ballot. "I've had my time, and it was a good time," he said late Monday. But he also admitted he felt "a little bit" wistful.
"I don't think I'm going to be running for anything. I'm just going to try to be a good citizen," Clinton mused while greeting a crowd outside the polling station where the first family voted. "I am going to be happy doing whatever I do. I've had a great life. I've been very lucky."
Mrs. Clinton was as ebullient as her husband was reflective. Chelsea, 20, emerged from the booth, signed an autograph for a poll worker then got a hug from her father while her mother voted. The resident voted

last, taking only a few seconds to cast his ballot.
En route to Chappaqua on Monday night, Clinton pledged to "manage the transition well" for whichever candidate wins the election, but indicated he didn't plan to go gently into lame-duckdom.

Flooding continues in Italy and Britain
LONDON — Relentless rains, already blamed for 19 deaths across Europe, triggered further flooding in Britain and landslides in northern Italy yesterday with no end to the bad weather in sight, officials said.
The Associated Press
In northern Italy, scores of people evacuated their homes as storms triggered floods and landslides. Three people, including an elderly man who drowned in his home, died Monday in Liguria, the area around Genoa hit hard by recent bad weather.
Britain, where 12 people have died since storms first struck last week, continued to bear the brunt of the rains, with 43 severe flood warnings of "imminent danger" to life and property in effect on 29 rivers. Thousands fled their homes.
Three others have died in France and one in Ireland.

In Italy's center-southern Abruzzo region, a man was missing after his fishing boat went down in a storm off the coast of Vasto in the Adriatic Sea. Off the Tuscan coast, a merchant mariner from Cape Verde also was lost in rough weather.

Officials scrambled to fortify flood defenses and evacuate those most at risk from flooding.
The driving rain was forecast to continue across much of Europe this week.
The worst-hit areas yesterday were northeast England and eastern Scotland, where several main roads were cut off. Officials said more than 5,000 properties have been flooded nationwide. More than 2,000 people were being evacuated from their homes in Yorkshire, northern England, yesterday evening.
The government will make 3,000 vacant Ministry of Defense homes available to displaced flood victims, Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott announced late yesterday.
Britain's Environment Agency chief executive, Ed Gallagher, said that some flood victims may not be able to return to their homes for up to nine months because of polluted water seeping into wells.
In the northern city of York, one of the hardest hit by the floods, the River Ouse was receding from its Saturday peak, the highest since 1625, but officials feared the new rain could cause it to rise again and topple water-logged fortifications.
Yugoslavian inmates riot for change
The Associated Press
NIS, Yugoslavia — Protests at two prisons in Yugoslavia turned ugly yesterday, with shots fired, buildings set ablaze and a female inmate reporting an "orgy of rape" as Serbs went on a rampage to demand better jail conditions and amnesty for certain convictions.
The unrest, which began Sunday with a riot at a third prison, presented the latest challenge to new President Vojislav Kostunica. Even as his government tries to consolidate its authority, it faces a decade of pent-up discontent accumulated under the previous regime that now threatens to spill over into growing
The riots at Pozarevac, Nis and Sremska Mitrovica appear linked by demands focusing on an end to alleged ill treatment and inclusion of Serbs jailed for criminal activities into a proposed amnesty law that would free Kosovo Albanians.
anarchy.
Witnesses outside the prison in Pozarevac, about 50 miles east of Belgrade, saw flames shooting from at least four buildings in the compound yesterday and heard gunfire immediately afterward. The fires appeared to have burned out or been doused several hours later.
In the southern city of Nis, where inmates rioted Monday, a female prisoner told reporters the rioters
were raping and molesting the women inmates.
"They broke into our ward and it's now hell inside," said Bosiljka Sumas.
Sumas said one of her friends had smuggled her out of the prison, but gave no details.
"The ringleaders are forcing other prisoners into rape," she said. "They are also fighting among themselves." Later, corrections officials said four other women also managed to leave the prison, leaving three inside.
About 1,000 inmates at Nis began a hunger strike Monday in a show of solidarity with Serbian prisoners in the northern city of Sremska
Mitrovica. The inmates in Sremska Mitrovica began rioting late Sunday; they claimed they were beaten by guards and demanded an expansion of the proposed amnesty law.
The amnesty law, suggested Kostunina, is still at the discussion stage. It would affect ethnic Albanians arrested for activity in or support of the rebel Kosovo Liberation Army, which disbanded after Milosevic's troops withdrew from the Serb province of Kosovo in June 1999 under a peace deal to end NATO's 78-day bombing campaign. Tensions have remained high between Serbs and ethnic Albanians, who constitute a majority of Kosovo's population.
Crane rips open Singapore Airlines plane in crash

TAOYUAN, Taiwan
Investigators confirmed for the first time yesterday that it was the crane that ripped open the belly of the jumbo jet as it hurtled down the wrong runway. Eighty-two people died in the fiery takeoff attempt.
scattered pink and purple socks,
and a mangled construction crane.
One week after the deadly crash of a Singapore Airlines jetliner, the airport runway remains an eerie memorial of melted suitcases, crumpled shirts, a Hello Kitty doll,
Musical scores apparently left by passengers littered the runway and a makeshift Buddhist altar was arranged near the plane's nose.
"Bodies just began to fall out." David Lee, an investigator with Taiwan's Aviation Safety Council, told reporters at Chiang Kai-shek Airport during the first close public look at the runway wreckage.
Last week crash experts confirmed that the pilot picked the
wrong runway and there was a series of collisions as the plane speed down the airstrip.
Seconds after the jet began its takeoff, a front wheel hit a concrete barrier about 4,950 feet down the runway. Then the plane slammed into a crane that peeled open its underside. Lee said.
The question experts are trying to answer is why the pilot thought he was on the correct runway.
Kay Yong, managing director of the Aviation Safety Council, said
the probe is focusing on whether the closed runway — which was parallel to the plane's assigned runway — was improperly lit, inviting the pilot to make the fatal choice Oct. 31 during a storm.
Taiwan authorities ordered the pilot and two co-pilots to remain in Taiwan indefinitely to help with the investigation, Singapore Airlines said. Their movements have not been restricted and their passports have not been confiscated, the airline said.

By Shawn Hutchinson writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Leonard Krishtalka sat in his office in Dyche Hall last week, trying to think above the rumble of the construction.
Dyche Hall, home to the Natural History Museum and the Biodiversity Research Center, is undergoing slight renovations. Workers moved slabs and cut boards as hammers and nails flew every which way.
The noise probably made it difficult for Kristalka to hear the thoughts moving back and forth in his mind. Kristalka, director of the Natural History Museum and the Biodiversity Research Center, did his best to answer why he came to the University of Kansas.
Krishtalka paused for a second before answering.
"I long knew this was the best university Natural History Museum research center in the country and it was a privilege to be able to lead it," he said. "It was a wonderful opportunity."
The administration side of things
While he was growing up in Montreal, Krishtalka decided that he wanted to be a paleontologist, studying the history and evolution of life on earth.
He got his bachelor's and master's degrees at the University of Alberta in Canada. He started his Ph.D. at the University of Kansas in 1971, then completed it at Texas Tech University in 1975.
He spent the next several years working as a paleontologist. He
traveled the globe, spending time in Western Canada, the inter-mountain region of the United States, East Africa, North Africa, Europe and China.
"Then about 10 years ago, I turned my attention toward the administration side of things," Krishhtala said. "I wanted to provide to others the same opportunities that had been provided to me."
He worked as a curator at the Carnegie Museum in Pittsburgh, where he also was the assistant director for
"He's not only open
ideas, he's also posing new ideas all the time. He's very innovative. He's taking us to whole new places and leading us down new roads."
Linda Trueb professor of ecology and evolutionary biology
science. He also became a professor at the University of Pittsburgh.
Eventually, he came to the University of Kansas, where he is in his sixth year as the director of the Natural History Museum and the Biodiversity Research Center and a professor of ecology and evolutionary Biology.
"He's not only open to ideas, he's also posing new ideas all the time," said Linda Trueb, a fellow professor of ecology and evolutionary biology. "He's very innovative. He's taking us to whole new places and leading us down new roads."
It is Krishtalka's job to make sure all this goes off without a hitch.
A center of excellence
I think my ultimate duty is to lead the museum in its education, research and public service enterprise so that it best fulfills the mission of the University." Krishtalka said. "And we're happy to have one of the centers of excellence at the University of Kansas."
The Natural History Museum and the Biodiversity Research Center's mission at the University is to study the life of the planet for the benefit of the earth and its inhabitants.
But Kristalta admits that he isn't solely responsible for that center of excellence. He gives credit to the museum's curators, the professors, and all of the graduate students who come to the University each year to study biodiversity research.
All those people add up to a successful scientific equation.
"I think that the readers need to know that the museum is like a proverbial iceberg," Krishtalka said. "One-ninth shows about the surface — that's the displays and all the educational programs for school children and adults — but the eight-ninths below the surface is really the bulk of our activities. It involves an enormous amount of research into the plants and animals of the world. And an enormous amount of educational activities in training graduate students and scientists."
Snectacular vision
It's the renowned diorama that helps make up the center lobby of the Museum in Dyche Hall.
By now, the noise outside Krishtalka's office has quieted down, the momentary silence giving him the perfect opportunity to focus on the one-ninth portion of the iceberg.
The diorama incorporates North American plants and animals in their natural environment, and it might be what the museum's best known exhibit. It was put together in 1893 for the Kansas entry into the World's Fair by Lewis Lindsay Dyche — the man for whom Dyche Hall is named.
But Krishtalka thinks for a while and answers.
Kristalta is asked to name his favorite exhibit in the Natural History Museum. It's not such an easy question. It's probably like a parent having to pick a favorite child, or Joe Montana having to pick his favorite Super Bowl ring. It's hard to just pick one.

"The artistry involved, the vision involved, is quite spectacular." Krishtalka said. "In one diorama, he is depicting the life of North America starting in the Arctic and extending all the way to the equator. I mean, this is 1893, and he has put together a diorama that's basically what one would see today on the Discovery Channel."
An embarrassing decision
Leonard Kristhalka is in his sixth year as the director of the Natural History Museum and the Biodiversity Research Center, and is also a professor of Ecology and Evolutionary Biology. As the director of the Natural History Museum, Kristhalka oversees about 350 exhibits. Portrait by Knig Krug/KANSAN
The Kansas State Board of Education voted last year to not require the teaching of evolution in public schools. Some were pleased, some were peeved.
But this story isn't all roses.
As somebody who lives and breathes the idea of evolution, Kristalka was affected more than a lot of people.
"The Kansas State Board of Education's decision a year ago was an embarrassment," Krishtalka said. "Kansans deserve a real scientific education."
Kristaltaka said his job hasn't been made any more difficult because of the decision, but said he would like to see the decision reversed in the future. He said it might just happen considering that three of the four candidates who voted for the new science standards were defeated in the primaries.
natural history
"In that election. I think Kansas showed two things," Krishtalka
Museum director looks to future through the past
said. "One, they don't appreciate being made a fool of nationally and internationally. And second, that they cherish and value the best possible education for their school children. Especially in science, because our society is increasingly a technological one and a scientific one. If we don't educate our children to thrive in an increasingly scientific educational society, then we are cheating our own children."
Glancing into the future
Krishtalka can see into the future. He looks out at the six buildings that make up the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center — Dyche Hall, Lippincott Hall, Snow Hall, Haworth Hall, Lindley Hall, and the Bridwell Botany Laboratory on West Campus — and knows that a lot of things need updating.
He said the museum was in the process of changing all of the label copy in each of the about 350 exhibits to update the information. He said he was especially excited about a female dinosaur
that was being put together. The dinosaur, a 60-foot behemoth found in Wyoming, was so large it had to be mounted in a crouching position.
Katie Reitz, Seneca senior, works at the Natural History Museum with Krishtalka. She said she noticed his dedication to the future of the past.
"He looks toward the future when he plans things," Reitz said. "He's very dedicated to doing research."
Kristaltak took one brief and final glance into the future as the noise outside his office grew once again.
"The 21st Century is going to be the century of the environment," he said. "And the Natural History Museum, with its accumulated knowledge of the earth's plants and animals and their inter-relationships, is poised to provide the knowledge and inform the solutions that this coming century is going to demand."

An impressive resume
The four teams taking part in the Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic each possess a storied history of college basketball success

its region, and all have storied histories that read like a "who's who" of college basketball. A conversation about these programs wouldn't be complete without names such as Wilt Chamberlain, John Wooden, Adolph Rupp and Felipe Lopez. Indeed, all four programs can stake a claim to be the king of the college basketball mountain.
Kansas: It goes way back
The Jayhawk tradition traces all the way back to the game's founder, James Naismith, who brought the game to Kansas from Massachusetts in 1898 when he accepted a teaching position at the University. One of Naismith's pupils, Phog Allen, was an innovator of basketball coaching, and Kansas' famed basketball venue — Allen Fieldhouse — was named in his honor.
Jayhawks have won four NCAA titles, most recently in 1988, and sport the nation's third highest all-time winning percentage, compiling a mark of .699. Kansas also has been home to some college basketball's all-time greatest players, with Wilt Chamberlain, Jo Jo White and Danny Manning all calling Lawrence home during college.

UCLA: Decades of dominance

Legendary coach John Wooden's name alone sets UCLA above the crowd. Wooden was the general behind the first 10 championships, all won during a 12-year span.
Since those two decades of dominance UCLA has slipped from its pedestal, but recent recruitment of young McDonald's All-Americans has helped put the Bruins back on the map. Those current players understand and respect the tradition of their school's past.

Ankle injury keeps Axtell out of Classic
'Hawks relish rematch with Tech
Senior guard Luke Axell will have to wait a while longer to make his return to the Kansas lineup.
Axtell, who missed the final 14 games of last season because of an undisclosed medical condition, sprained his ankle in practice yesterday and will not play in the Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic tomorrow and Friday. X-Rays on Axtell's ankle did not show any broken bones, but Axtell will not even make the trip to New York for the tournament.
The injury delays what has been a promising fall for Axtell. He led the team in scoring with 19 points in the Jayhawks' exhibition win against Emporia State on Saturday night and appeared to be playing the best basketball of his career. During the summer, Axtell traveled to Europe with a group of Big 12 Conference All-Stars, but missed the final two games of the tour because of a pulled groin.
Before the season, Axtell said he was ready for the physical strains of the upcoming year.
"I've worked3 hard over the offseason to get healthy and I feel like I have," Axtell said. "I'm ready to be a contributor to this team."

By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Facing 6-foot-7 gigantress Colleen Smith for the second time in just more than a month, the Kansas volleyball team is ready to take on the sky-high outside hitter/middle blocker and her Texas Tech teammates. The match will be at 7 tonight at the United Spirit Arena in Lubbock, Texas.
Goliath isn't looking so big now.
And Kansas did take some shots earlier in the season when it lost in a close five games to the Red Raiders in Lawrence 11-15, 15-5, 15-7, 12-15, 6-15. Five Jayhawks were in double-digits in kills, led by senior outside hitter Amy Myatt's 19 and senior middle blocker Danielle Geronymo's 18.
"They try to get the matchups they want," Bechard said. "They want their best blockers on our best hitters."
Bechard said Kansas needed outside hitters Amy Myatt and Nancy Bell to play well for the team to be effective, but also needed others to step up a bit and take some shots.
Meanwhile, the 'Hawks (14-10, 5-10) have lost six and won three since the Tech loss, including two shutouts in a row going into tonight's match. They defeated Iowa State on Oct. 31 and Baylor on Nov. 4. Kansas fell to Baylor in five games Sept. 27, just before their last Texas Tech loss. The Jayhawks
Since beating Kansas, the Red Raiders have won five and lost five, putting them at a 20-6 record and 8-6 in the Big 12 Conference. Three of those matches went into five games, of which Tech won only one.
plan on using momentum from their victory against the Bears to try to top Texas Tech.
For Texas Tech, Smith put in 24 kills, while sophomore outside hitter Melissa McGehee came off an ankle injury in the first game to smack down 23. Junior outside hitter Heather Hughes-Justice added four service aces and is ranked No. 1 in service aces at .68 per game.
"We need to play with intensity." Bell said. "It's a rough place to play, but I think the Baylor win gave us the confidence to go down there and play well."
To play well means to keep the quick-striking Tech offense from being successful.
"Our goal will be to extend the rallies," Bechard said. "Because they want to keep, it short and end the rally as soon as possible."
Beating the Red Raiders could help the Jayhawks to a NCAA tournament berth, which they narrowly missed in 1999.

See page 4B
"We have no choice but to really finish strong," Bechard said. "Texas Tech is already a lock into the NCAA tournament, so showing the NCAA committee that we can beat a team like that late in the season might help our chances."

Crimson Girls work hard but don't get many rewards
It's 6 p.m. Do you know where your
Crimson Girls are?
Odds are they're practicing somewhere on campus. Staci Johnson, co-captain of the Crimson Girls, invites me to practice at some random room in Murphy Hall. Two e-mails later, they've moved to the South end of Allen Fieldhouse.
By practice time, they've migrated to the Horejsi Center. If that would have fell through, they would have found somewhere else, maybe behind that hot dog stand in Wescoe Terrace. They don't care; wherever there's room, they'll get together to practice.
So, why a Crimson Girl column?
Besides surrounding myself with attractive women, there are a couple of legit reasons.
The thank you note the Crimson Girls sent me had an effect, too. Turns out that 10 out of 12 Crimson Girls prefer Seth Jones columns to other columns.
If you read my column a couple weeks ago that lambasted Late Night as being less entertaining than a Kevin Smith film, then you know I also talked up the Crimson Girls. The reader reaction to my Crimson Girl-love was very positive. It seemed that most people I talked to after that column wanted "Más Crimson Girls, por favor." So I'm here to deliver más Crimson Girls, for my people.
I've already ordered new business cards with that figure printed directly below my name.
Now, for a pop quiz. How much do the Crimson Girls get in scholarships? A.) Full-ride plus money earned from appearance fees, B.) Full-ride, C.) Half their education paid for, D.) Maybe two text books, depending on price.
The correct answer is D. That was something of a shock to me. I figured, they're the Crimson Girls, they've got skills, we hook them up. Heck, for all I knew, we recruited them.
Truth is, they have open tryouts. And if you made it your freshman year and sophomore year, there's still no guarantee that you'll make it your junior or senior year. About 70 women attend the first day of tryouts, then they cut down to 30. The next couple of days they cut 10 more, and once it's down to 20, they go through personality interviews. The final personality cut takes them down to 12.
At practice yesterday, the girls were preparing for Saturday's halftime show at Memorial Stadium. They also were beginning training for Nationals, which takes place Jan. 11 to 13 in Orlando, Fla. During Christmas break, they take Dec. 24 to 26 off. Aside from that, they practice six hours a day the rest of break. As a result of that work, they took ninth place last year at Nationals, but they're determined to do better this year.
To get the money to go to Florida, they have to work. That means clinics, selling and signing posters, and making public appearances. Crown Chevrolet, for example, loves to hire the Crimson Girls whenever there's a reason to celebrate. They fetch about $100 when they make an appearance.
I asked if they did house parties because I happen to have one coming up. They laughed as if I were joking. (Sometimes I hate my funny-guy reputation.)
So they practice a lot. People don't recognize them. So why do they do it?
"Standing in front of the entire crowd when we're doing the alma mater, and everyone is doing it together," said sophomore Lauren Murphy. "It gives you the biggest rush."
That rush might not sound like enough reward to some people. Regardless, I'm glad they do what they do.

Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
Travel isn't a good idea although you might eventually get through. Why bother? Even a phone call might take two or three tries. But your fingers getting tired from punching radial is better than you being stuck for hours in traffic.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a b. You're looking good, but that's not enough. Be careful with your money. Somebody you love wants something you can't afford. You make a good impression on an older person with your recent work. Don't spend this raise before you get it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.

Virao (Aua. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.

Applewhite sprains knee, won't play this weekend
AUSTIN — Once again, Chris Simms is the starting quarterback for Texas. This time, it's not because it's his turn in the rotation
major Applewhite, who assumed the starting duties when the No. 19 Longhorns scrapped their system of rotating quarterbacks four games ago, sprained his right knee in a 29-17 win at Texas Tech and will not play Saturday at Kansas.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Coach Mack Brown said the injury did not require surgery but could be bad enough to keep Applewhite also out of the regular season finale Friday, Nov. 24 against No. 23 Texas &M.

He returned from surgery in time for the regular season but spent the first five games splitting time with Simms, a sophomore who was the nation's top high school recruit two years ago. Simms started three of Texas' first four games.
Texas' career passing leader as a junior, Applewhite tore a ligament in his left knee in a 27-6 loss to Arkansas in the Cotton Bowl back in January.

Applewhite has thrown for 2,164 yards and 18 touchdowns with seven interceptions this season. Simms has passed for 441 yards with three touchdowns.
Applewhite sprained the knee when he fell on the artificial turf of Tech's Jones Stadium in the third quarter. Simms came in with Texas leading 19-17 and completed his only two passes for 18 yards.
PONTIAC, Mich. — Bobby Ross, mentally and physically drained after 3 1/2 years, resigned as coach of the Detroit Lions and was replaced by assistant Gary Moeller. Moeller was fired as Michigan's coach in 1995 days after his arrest during a disturbance at a Detroit-area restaurant.
Ross, 63, compiled a 27-30 regular-season record with Detroit and an 0-2 mark from playoff appearances in 1997 and last season. The Lions are 5-4 this year.
Ross led the San Diego Chargers to the 1995 Super Bowl, five years after taking Georgia Tech to the national championship.

ST. LOUIS — Already minus injured quarterback Kurt Warner, the St. Louis Rams now will be without star running back Marshall Faulk for at least two more games. Faulk, who leads the NFL with 1,326 yards rushing and receiving, will be sidelined 2-4 weeks after having arthroscopic surgery to remove cartilage from his sore right knee.
Rams' Faulk remains injured with sore knee
The Rams also released kicker Pete Stoyanovich, a day after he missed two field-goal attempts in a loss to Carolina. Rams coach Mike Martz said the NFC West leaders would sign Jef Hall, who was with the team in training camp.

Senior captain finishes golf career
By Michael Sudhalter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's golf program has changed during the past few seasons, but senior captain Ashely Bishop has always been a talented player and leader.
Bishop, one of only two seniors on a nine-member team and the only golfer who has been with the Jayhawks for four years, has competed in every tournament the Jayhawks have played in since fall 1997.
"Ashely is the only player that has been here for a long amount of time," said women's golf coach Nicole Hollingsworth. "She works extremely hard at her golf game."

Bishop was the top finisher in

Classic in Myrtle Beach, S.C. and tying for 28th of 233 at the Big 12 Preview in Waco, Texas.
Bishop, who has played golf competitively since she was 10 years old, said she enjoys the annual tournament that is played in her backyard. Bishop's parents own the "Legends of Indiana" golf course, where she shot a 231 total and placed 45th out of 231 on Oct. 9-10 in Franklin, Ind.
Many of the other players on the Kansas team look to Bishop for guidance, support and team leadership.
"When she goes to a tournament and shoots a good score, it makes us want to do the same," said Kristy Straub, a redshirt sophomore.
While Bishop said she embraces her leadership role, she recalls important lessons she learned as a freshman .
"I feel like I had to adjust and become mentally tougher for the competitive college game," Bishop said.
Bishop said the experience of competing in collegiate golf for three and a half years had helped her.
"I learned a lot about composition and how to act on the course," she said. "Some of the younger players see that and try to follow."
While Bishop said she didn't plan to compete at a professional level, she said she thought her golf experience would be an asset to her professional career.
"I feel like I had to adjust and become mentally tougher for the competitive college games."
Bishop, a business communications major, has made the Big 12 Conference AllAcademic Squad and Jayhawk Scholars every semester she has been at the University.
While she may impress business clients with her golf game in the near future, Bishop has set her immediate goals on the spring semester.
"One of our goals for this season is to have a stronger finish at the final tournament," she said.

St. John's: The recurring fad
St. John's may have the largest recruiting advantage of the four programs, being located in New York City. Still, the Red Storm has become known for its solid, not spectacular seasons, strong coaching and strong runs in March.
Historically, the Red Storm's coaches have been, well, legendary. Buck Freeman, Joe Lapchick, Frank McGuire and Lou Carneseca all have called St. John's home, and the Red Storm bench now is guarded by the powerful Mike Jarvis.
With great coaches have come great players, ranging from Chris Mullin to Malik Sealy. The Red Storm also have the fifth-most victories among Division I basketball programs, with more than 1,600, and play their home games in one of college basketball's most famous venues, Madison Square Garden.
Kentucky forward Tayshaun Prince. whose Wildcats will play St. John's at the Garden tomorrow, said he couldn't wait to set foot on the Garden's hallowed ground.
"The greatest basketball players of all time have played on that court, and it's going to be a great experience," Prince said. "I expect our freshmen to be nervous, but once they get settled they'll be fine. Not many basketball players can say they played their first college game at the Garden."
But despite the top-notch arena and all the accolades, St. John's may never truly be considered among the basketball elite until
it reaches another Final Four — something the Red Storm hasn't done since 1985.
Kentucky: The ageless wonder
For additional Big 12 basketball previews See page 8A
You do the math.
The Wildcats have more wins than any other team in NCAA history. They have more NCAA Tournament appearances, more tournament victories and have played in more NCAA Tournament games than any other school.
Kentucky has won seven national championships, second only to UCLA. Only two other teams have visited the Final Four more times than Kentucky.
Kentucky basketball has also had its share of winners. Legendary coach Adolph Rupp is the second-winningest coach in college hoops history, logging 876 victories. Boston Celtics coach Rick Pitino also stormed the sidelines for eight years.
Along these coaches' benches have sat great players, namely Pat Riley, Bill Spivey, Dan Issel, Sam Bowie and Jamal Mashburn. All were All-Americans, and Riley has carried the winning tradition to the NBA, where he is No. 2 in all-time coaching victories.
Years of success and years of brilliance on the sidelines are both traditions that have put Kentucky basketball near the top of the college hoops world. Coach Tubby Smith and his 1998 national championship are carrying that tradition into a new era.

Keith Langford's recruitment mostly was more defined by lack of drama because it was rumored for weeks he would attend Kansas.
Still, the rumors didn't stop Langford from drawing out his decision, burning the midnight oil on Monday night before deciding to be a Javhawk.
The reason behind the late night antics was that Langford, who practiced until 9 p.m. Monday, had to inform Kansas coach Roy Williams and Cincinnati coach Bob Huggins of his decision.
"This decision was not a very easy one, but it was the right one for me," Langford told Fastbreak Recruiting.
Langford chose Kansas instead of Cincinnati, Oklahoma, Baylor and Mississippi. He originally committed to Mississippi before reneging on his verbal commitment.
The reason, Langford said, was proximity. His mother will drive to Lawrence from her home in Crowley, Texas, for several of his home games, and the Jayhawks take regular trips to Norman,
Of course, it didn't hurt that the Kansas fans chanted "We want Langford" when he attended the Jayhawks' game against Emporia State on Saturday.
Okla., and Austin, Texas.
"My visit went real well." Langford said. "The players were real cool, and the fans were great, too. Lawrence reminds me of Crowley, only bigger."
During his visit, Langford said he started a friendship with sophomore forward Drew Gooden, and he already befriended fellow Kansas recruit Aaron Miles.
"Me and Drew Gooden talked about rooming together next year," Langford said. "And I got to know Aaron Miles at Nike camp, so I'm looking forward to playing with him and the other guys."
Langford, a 6-foot-4 guard/forward, averaged 19 points per game for North Crowley High last season. Unlike Miles, Langford is not considered to be one of the nation's top 25 players. But recruiting guru Bob Gibbons said Langford should be a nice pickup for Kansas.
"In Langford, Kansas gets a player who has excellent range on his jump shot and is also effective at taking his man off the dribble and going strong to the basket," Gibbons stated on his Web site.
All the Jayhawks signings should become official today, the first day high school seniors can sign letters of intent. Along with Langford and Miles, Kansas also should receive letters of intent from shooting guard Michael Lee of Portland, Ore., and Leavenworth forward Wayne Simien. If all four sign today, then Kansas
— which still has one more scholarship to give out — should have a recruiting class ranked in the top five nationally.
Kansas basketball notes
Ichabod Crider? Kansas coach Roy Williams has yet to announce anything officially, but junior guard John Crider's Jayhawk playing days appear to be numbered.
Crider didn't practice with the team on Monday night, and the Jayhawks were still unsure whether Crider would accompany the team to New York.
Rumors have surfaced Crider will transfer sometime soon — possibly to Washburn University. The rumors started after Crider was shut out of the Jayhawks' exhibition game against Emporia State on Saturday night. In the 69-point Kansas victory, Crider was the only Jayhawk not to play.
Kentucky to be a hurdle for St. John's

The second game of tomorrow's Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic will pin No. 1 Kentucky against No. 5 St. John's — with those rankings being for all-time wins, not season expectations
But in the spirit of this marquee matchup, the similarities stop there.
After being a frequent visitor to the Top 10 in the 1950s, St. John's became just another blip on the map and made a few scattered appearances during the early 1990s.
The Red Storm returned again in 1999 and 2000. Coach Mike Jarvis' teams were legitimate Final Four threats, but this year all of the key components are gone. Sophomore point guard Erick Barkley jumped ship for the NBA, and seniors Lavor Postell, Chudney Gray and Bootsy Thornton all completed their athletic eligibility.
A new group of Johnnies will take the court tomorrow night against Kentucky, and it will look nothing like last year's streaky team. Jarvis started three freshmen in his team's 86-80 exhibition win against the California All-Stars. Freshmen
Willie Shaw, Kyle Cuffe and Omar Cook started and saw significant minutes, and the team has only one senior, Reggie Jessie. Cook led the team in scoring and rebounding with 25 and seven, respectively.
Jarvis said that he was happy to have his team open its season at the Classic and that the field of teams would be an excellent early-season challenge for his young players.
"We're thrilled to be a part of this magnificent field, playing teams the caliber of Kentucky, Kansas and UCLA, but more importantly, proceeds from the event will be dedicated to supporting cures-for cancer." Jarvis said.
The Red Storm will need to find a way to stop a relatively experienced Kentucky team first.
The Wildcats also have just one senior, point guard Saul Smith. In its favor, though, Kentucky returns experienced sophomores and juniors in guard Keith Bogans and forwards Marvin Stone and Tayshaun Prince.
Also in the mix is freshman forward Jason Parker. He had signed with North Carolina before the Tar Heels backed out on his scholarship and Kentucky scooped him up. He is expected to see significant
Tubby Smith Kentucky coach
playing time and make an immediate impact on the Wildcats, coach Tubby Smith said.
"We're going to be thrown into the fire quickly."
"We're lucky to have Jason Parker." Smith said. "He's really physical around the bucket and will provide defensive and offensive pressure inside."
Regardless of the experienced players returning, Smith said he was concerned with the quick start to the season against such difficult competition, especially considering his team lost two of its key returnees during the offseason.
"We're going to be thrown into the fire quickly with the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic," Smith said. "I like our team, but we're still young. We've lost Desmond Allison and Jules Camara also, and Jules had more experience than all of our post people combined."

Guards: Kansas is stocked at the guard position, and all of the guards have a good touch from the outside. The Basketball Travelers love to shoot from long range but are highly inaccurate. Advantage: Kansas
Forwards: The Travelers' best player is power forward Ester Lodi, but she will not be able to match-up with Jaclyn Johnson on the inside. Soft defense by the Hungarians will let the Jeyhawks dominate Inside. Advantage: Kansas

Kansas football roster full of Texans
By Allan Davis

For the past two years, Texas has proven to be a happy hunting ground for Jayhawk recruiters because a significant portion of the Kansas football recruiting classes have been drawn from Texas.
Without dispute, the Kansas football team has a definite Texas flavor — the Javahawks have 30 Texans on their roster.
Jayhawks have so Texans on their roster. Some of the Texans playing key roles for the Jayhawks include senior running back David Winbush, senior fullback Moran Norris, junior linebacker Marcus Rogers, senior linebacker Chaz Murphy, sophomore center Nick Smith, sophomore offensive guard Kyle Grady, junior defensive end De'Nard Whitfield, senior safety Kareem High, senior tight end Jason Gulley and sophomore tight end David Hurst.
Hurst, who is from Austin, Texas, said Saturday's game had a special significance for him because he grew up with some of the Texas players and knew them personally.
"I can't wait. It's my hometown," he said.
Even though four Big 12 Conference schools and some Western Athletic Conferences teams are in Texas, Hurst said he decided to come to Kansas instead of staving closer to home.
"I wanted to get out of Texas," he said. "I
wanted to see what else was out there. That's one of the main reasons I came here. This was a Big 12 school, so I knew I would get to come back to Texas and play. This was a nice fit for me."
Norris, who is from Houston, said
Kansas' quality academics and football success were the determining factors in his coming to Kansas instead of attending a Texas school.
Then there's the Killeen connection.
Seven Jayhawks come from Killeen,
Texas, including Winbush, running back
Reggie Duncan and defensive back Carl
Ivev.
Kansas assistant and wide receivers coach Darrell Wyatt, who graduated from high school in Killeen, is behind the Killeen-to-Lawrence pipeline. Wyatt joined the Kansas staff before the 1997 season and helped recruit Winbush and eventually the other six Jayhawks from Killeen, located about 60 miles from Austin.
Winbush said one reason he decided not to stay in Texas was because the schools recruiting him wanted an early commitment to attend.
"Back when I was getting recruited, a lot of people wanted you to commit early," he said. "I went to visit Texas A&M, and they wanted me to commit. That was my first visit. TCU was real big on me. Texas tried to recruit me late. This was just the best situation for me, so I came up here."

Experience helps coach relate to runners
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
Stanley Redwine's first season as Kansas cross country coach has been a learning experience for him and his runners.
Redwine took the helm as the cross country and track coach early this summer with no knowledge of the squads, so he knew his first season at Kansas would be a challenge.
"Starting off the year, I was
just trying to get an understanding of the athletes," he said. "I think we're still even in learning about each other."
Before coming to Kansas, Redwine served as cross country and track coach for six years at the University of Tulsa. Although he was not looking to move, Redwine said the Kansas offer was too good to refuse.
"We have an administration that is willing to support us in our effort to become the best
team we can be," he said.
"Living in Lawrence is great; my family has had no problems here."
Before his coaching career at Tulsa, Redwine was an assistant coach at his alma mater, the University of Arkansas. He was a world-class middle distance runner in the mid-1980s at Arkansas. He won a silver medal in the 800 meters in the 1994 Goodwill Games and fifth in the 800 at the 1996 Olympic Trials in Atlanta.
Junior Charlie Gruber said Redwine's experiences as a runner made it easier for Redwine to relate to his runners.
"It's real neat that he's done it all," Gruber said. "He was a great middle-distance runner and he already knows what it takes to get to the top. It's also funny to hear old stories he has to tell about it."
Redwine came to Kansas looking to rebuild a cross country and track program. He said building Kansas into a national
contender was definitely possible, but the process could take time.
With the District V Regionals coming up on Saturday in Cedar Falls, Iowa, Redwine said a great performance and an NCAA Championships berth would cap off the season.
"I'd like to think that our season is not over." Redwine said. "We've gotten so much better individually and as a team so far, I think we can do it."

Women anticipate exhibition play
By Zac Hunter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
By Zac Hunter
After nearly a month of pounding on each other in practice, the Kansas women's basketball team finally gets to pound on someone else.
The Jayhawks play their first exhibition game of the season against the Basketball Travelers at 7:05 tonight at Allen Fieldhouse, and players and coaches said they couldn't be happier that the season has finally rolled around.
"It will be nice for them to play,someone that doesn't know them as well," coach Marian Washington said.
While Washington said she wanted to see how the 'Hawks respond to a game situation, the players have a different motivation for wanting the season to start.
"We're ready to get out there and beat on somebody other than ourselves," senior guard Jennifer Jackson said. "We've beat on each other every day in practice, and we've yet to have all 14 of our players on the same side going against somebody else."
That beating took its toll when sophomore forward Sharonne Spencer was lost for the season with an injured knee. Now, the

Jayhawks are even thinner at the forward spot, which could create some problems with the large and mobile front-court of the Travelers.
However, whatever problems occur in the frontcourt will be minimal because of the Travelers' propensity to shoot from the outside. In a 40-point loss to Iowa State on Saturday, the Travelers took 24 threepoint shots and made just five.
Those outside shooters will give the new guards on the team a chance to test their perimeter defense. Juniors KC Hilgenkamp and Fernanda Bosi as well as freshman Lella Mengic will see time at either the point or shooting guard position.
"We know they have a lot of long-range shooters, so we've got to get out there and pressure them outside," Jackson said.
While Kansas overmatches the Travelers in most aspects of the game, certain match-up problems can make tonight's game exciting for the players.
"I think it's going to be a good game for us," Jackson said.

Spice Girls release new album, Forever
NEW YORK — How long does it take before Spices get stale?
Virgin records has shipped 500,000 advance copies of the album to stores — a modest figure for a group with record sales of 38 million copies worldwide. Ray Cooper, co-president of Virgin Records America, said the company plans to build on the record.
The Associated Press
The U.S. recording industry will find out this week when the Spice Girls return with their third album, Forever. One of the best-selling pop acts in the world just two years ago, the group's profile has waned since they went on hiatus.
"I'm happy that it's doing well overseas, but I want it to do well over here to just shut down some of the critics," he said.
"People move on to something new very fast," said producer Rodney Jerkins, who worked on six tracks of the new album. "You can't leave your fans hanging for too long because they will find something new to grab on."
For many of the Spice Girls' core fan base — preteen girls — that something has been teen idols such as Britney Spears, 'N Sync and Destiny's Child.
"Holler" has already reached No.1 in Britain, where the Spice Girls remain popular. But the true test will come in the United States. Jerkins said.
In response to the changing landscape, the Spice Girls have tried to redefine themselves. They've stopped using their Spice nicknames, toned down their outlandish clothes, and attempted to gain credibility by working with superproducers like Jerkins and Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, who have worked with artists including Toni Braxton and Janet Jackson.
The new album's first single, "Holler," has a mid-tempo groove that could appeal to both adult contemporary and pop radio outlets.
The Spice Girls burst onto the American pop scene in late 1996 with the bouncy dance hit "Wannabe." Although dismissed by some critics as forgettable, their album Spice sold millions of copies. So did the followup, Spice World. The Spice Girls even made a campy movie, Spice World, which poked fun at their massive success.
"They can't stay making records for little kids all of their lives," Jerkins said of the women, all in their mid-20s. "That's what Britney and 'N Sync and Christina (Aguilera) are there for now."

Full competition, benefits coming for Kansans
On October 26, Southwestern Bell Kansas took what we hope will be the final step toward garnering some giant benefits — like more choices and better value - for Kansas telephone customers. That's the day we filed our application with the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) to offer long-distance service here in Kansas.
A. J. M.
Approval of our application will mean another, Debbie Vignatelli better long-distance choice for Kansas consumers one with simple, no-gimmicks service plans, competitive rates and top-quality service.
In Texas, where its FCC application was approved last June. Southwestern Bell Texas is offering basic residential long-distance service for 9 cents a minute — one rate for all calls, anytime, in- or out-of-state — with no monthly fee.
With our entrance into the long-distance market here, Southwestern Bell Kansas will have similar, easy-to-understand plans — as well as one-stop shopping for all communications and entertainment services available to customers like you.
The main regulatory requirement for approval is that our local telephone markets must be open to competitors. In Kansas, they are. In fact, we currently have competitors in 100 percent of our wire centers and 100 percent of the counties served by Southwestern Bell.
Add the Kansas Corporation Commission's recent endorsement of our application, and we're hopeful that Southwestern Bell Kansas will be entering our state's long-distance market by early next year.
For now, it's the FCC's call. But soon, we hope the calls are yours through Southwestern Bell Kansas long-distance service.

MLB Rookie of the Year
Mariners' pitcher earns award
The Associated Press
SEATTLE — Kazuhiro Sasaki's forkball dazzled American League hitters. It also caught the attention of the Rookie of the Year voters.
After helping pitch Seattle within two victories of what would have been the city's first World Series, the Mariners' closer became the second-oldest winner of the rookie award in baseball history.
The 32-year-old Sasaki went from Yokohama of Japan's Central League to become the AL Rookie of the Year in voting by the Baseball Writers Association of America. The award was announced Monday.
The only older player than Sasaki to win a rookie award was former Negro leagues star Sam Jethroe, who was 33 days older in 1950 when he won the National League honor playing for the Boston Braves.
With 37 saves in 40 chances, Sasaki was a key player in the Mariners' third postseason appearance in six seasons. The right-hander helped the Mariners beat the Chicago White Sox in their AL division series and go to six games in the American League Championship
AMERICAN LEAGUE
Series against the New York Yankees.
Series against the New York Rangers. Sasaki's outstanding season for Seattle proved to be another shot in the arm for Japan's baseball reputation. Japan's Hideo Nomo was the NL Rookie of the Year for the Los Angeles Dodgers in 1995.
Sasaki took a gamble after pitching 10 seasons in Yokohama, where he was a six-year All-Star and his nation's career saves leader. He decided to see if he was good enough to pitch effectively in the majors and signed as a free agent with the Mariners in December.
Sasaki was more than effective, principally because of his forkball.
Sasaki did not expect to get the Rookie
of the Year award because he didn't think enough of the voters would recognize him as a rookie.
Instead, he overwhelmingly finished first in the voting, ahead of outfielders Terrence Long of Oakland and Mark Quinn of Kansas City.
Sasaki, who received 17 first-place votes, five seconds and four thirds for 104 points, was in Fukuoka, Japan, with a major league All-Star team, when he learned the news.
Sasaki was the first pitcher to win the AL rookie award since Baltimore's Gregg Olson in 1989. For the Mariners, he was 2-5 with a 3.16 ERA, and his saves total was the third-highest in the AL, behind Detroit's Todd Jones and Boston's Derek Lowe, who each had 42.
He became the second player for the Mariners to win the AL Rookie award. First baseman Alvin Davis won it in 1984.
Sasaki is friends with Ichiro Suzuki, who has won seven straight Pacific League batting titles and whose rights are up for auction among major league teams. The 27-year-old outfielder could be the first Japanese non-pitcher in the major leagues.
Braves' teenage shortstop receives 25 first place votes
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Atlanta Braves shortstop Rafael Furcal was a runaway winner yesterday in voting for the National League Rookie of the Year.
The only player listed on all 32 ballots, Furcal received six seconds and one third for 144 points.
Furcal, who hit 295 with 40 steals in 54 chances, received 25 of 32 first-place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
SINCE 1904
NATIONAL
LEAGUE
IN AMERICA
Rick Ankiel of the St. Louis Cardinals, who gained notoriety during the playoffs by becoming the first pitcher in 110 years to throw five wild pitches in one inning, was second with 87 points, getting six
firsts, 17 seconds and six thirds.
Furcal, whose claimed age of 19 has been disputed, became the first middle infielder to win the NL award since Steve Sax of Los Angeles in 1982. He became the sixth Braves player to win, joining Alvin Dark (1948), Sam Jethroe (1960). Earl Williams (1971), Bob Horner (1978) and David Justice (1990).
Ankiel was 11-7 with a 8.50 ERA and 194 strikeouts in 175 innings, helping St. Louis win the NL Central.
While he batted .306 against right-handers, he slumped to .250 against left-handers.
After spending 1999 at Class A, Furcal led NL rookies in runs (87), walks (73), steals and on-base percentage .(394). He had only four homers — all in September — and 37 RBI.
That was overshadowed by his performance in the third inning of the Cardinals' postseason opener, when he became only the second pitcher in major league history to throw five wild pitches, joining Bert Cunningham, who did it for Buffalo of the Players League on Sept. 15, 1890.

Big 12 basketball season previews
Texas to deal with void Longhorn women strive for past glory
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The youth movement has struck the rest of the Big 12 Conference, and the Texas Longhorns are no exception.
Center Chris Mihm left for the NBA following his All-American junior season, and senior forward Gabe Monueke graduated, leaving a void in the middle of the Longhorn offense.
Coach Rick Barnes said he was not concerned with the loss of his dominant veterans.
"We have a lot of young guys," Barnes said. "But this could be a blessing for us. Getting them experience is a key to our success this season. We will count heavily on our veterans this season to carry us until our newcomers become comfortable and get into the flow of a college basketball season atmosphere."
The veterans, who will be leaned heavily upon, are junior forward Chris Owens, who started 16 games last year, and sophomore forward Chris Ogden. Owens is 4-foot 9, and Ogden stands 6-7. But despite them, the only roster player with much height is 6-10 freshman center Jason Klotz.
"We are going to be an up and down team," Owens said. "We'll get the ball up the floor. I think we'll be versatile. We want to do things to make it hard for other people to stop us. We need to utilize our weapons."
Perhaps the most dangerous weapon Texas will have is junior guard/forward Maurice Evans, a transfer from Wichita State. As a sophomore at Wichita State, Evans ranked ninth in the nation in scoring with a 22.6 points per game average. He chose to transfer after repeated arguments and misunderstandings with his former coach.
That offensive explosiveness that he brings to the team has both conference coaches and media outlets listing Evans as their choice for preseason Big 12 Conference forward of the Year honors.
Evans said he understood that he would be expected to be a scorer.
"I am trying not to focus on that with as youthful as we are this year," Evans said. "We didn't win that much at Wichita State, and I want to win. I want to come here and contribute in any way I can."
That method of contribution will be scoring, something Evans isn't concerned with after practicing against Mihm and Muoneke last year.
"It made me thankful to be at Texas because playing against the quality of players in practice last year gave me a taste of what to expect this year," he said.

Texas women's basketball can be broken into two different eras; pre Big 12 Conference and post Big 12.
The pre-Big 12 years were great for the Longhorns when they were in the Southwest Conference with fellow Big 12 schools Baylor, Texas Tech and Texas A&M, along with Houston, Rice, Southern Methodist and Texas Christian. Texas won 10 conference titles and never finished below fourth place. Perhaps the greatest example of the Longhorns' dominance is the fact that they didn't lose a SWC game in the first eight years of the conference's existence.
Now, the once-untouchable Longhorns are suffering through some lean years. They finished second in the Big 12 in 1997, but they haven't finished higher than
fourth since.
If Texas is to make a run at its first Big 12 title, it will have to do it without the services of Edwina Brown. She averaged 21.2 points per game last season, and was the team's go-to player.
But losing Brown wasn't necessarily a bad thing, according to coach Jody Conradt.
"There were times when Edwina went to the bench for various reasons, and I thought that we were a very good team for short periods of time without her." Conradt said.
Texas will have to permanently adjust to those periods to have success, and senior guard JoRuth Woods, senior guard, said that the Longhorns would use balance to counter the loss of Brown.
"I don't think we will have a specific go-to player," she said. "It will depend upon who is hot in a particular game."
Woods will be a big factor for the Longhorns this year. She averaged 8.7 points and pulled down 6.3 rebounds per game.
In its favor, Texas does have four returning starters and a total of 11 players from last season. However, the returning talent won't help without maximum effort from the Longhorns.
"We have worked on putting ourselves in a position to be more consistent," said junior forward Tracy Cook. "We didn't have 15 players committed to being consistent."
Conradt said she already noticed a difference from last year.
"They stayed in Austin this summer, organized themselves, worked out and are in the best physical condition and more mentally ready to start the season as any team I can remember for a while," she said.

Texas Tech hopes to improve, curb injuries
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Ace bandages and hydrogen peroxide may be the Most Valuable Players for Texas Tech men's basketball team this season considering all of the painful losses and injuries it has endured.
The Red Raiders lost four starters from last year's team that managed just a 12-16 overall record, 3-13 in the Big 12 Conference for an 11th place finish. Making the pain worse is that one of those losses is Rayford Young, last season's leading scorer at 17.8 points per game. Second leading scorer Mario Layne also graduated. So did third leading scorer James Ware.
The low-powered Red Raider offense returns just 35 percent of its scoring. Most of that is handled by 6-foot-11 junior center Andy Ellis. He averaged 16.9 points per game, but played in just 14 outings because of a dislocated shoulder.
Ellis said he developed a left-handed shot that should increase his offensive production.
"I'm just trying to make the best of the time I have before the season." Ellis said. "I've been working on my left-handed shots in practice; that should help."
Senior forward Cliff Owens also returns after recovering from preseason ankle surgery last year. His absence, along with the injury to Ellis, left a soft interior on the Texas Tech offensive front.
Coach James Dickey said his team must stay healthy this year.
"Our theme at the end of the season last year and the beginning of this one was Rehab and Recruit," Dickey said. "It is critical that we stay healthy this year. Our freshman class must also step up because we know the challenges that are ahead of us."
Those challenges are the rest of the teams in the Big 12 Conference. Dickey said he thought his team
should have stacked up better in the league last year.
Outside production also will be an area the Red Raiders must succeed in at order to increase from critical to stable condition in the Big 12.
"We are going to throw the ball inside, but we have to have consistency on the outside." Dickey said. "Jayson Mitchell shot it good at times last year. We are going to have to find the people to put the points on the board from the outside consistently."
Dickey said those long range shooters might come in the forms of junior guard Moses Malone, Jr. and senior forward Jayson Mitchell.
Mitchell said the outside game would be key for the Red Raiders this year.
"We have several players that are good from the outside," Mitchell said. "That will give us some quality points each game."

The last time the Texas Tech women's basketball team didn't win 20 games in a season was 1989.
That was also the last time the Lady Raiders failed to qualify for the NCAA tournament.
Since 1983, Tech has racked up eight conference championships. Five of those were in the former Southwest Conference, and in the last three years the Lady Raiders have done no worse that tie for a share of the Big 12 Conference title.
"I hope that at some point your program gets to a point where people feel like you are going to be able to recruit well enough to keep it going year after year," said coach Marsha Sharp.
The Tech program is at the point where it can recruit players that keep it among the Big 12 elite
every year. Its recruiting power comes is evident in its ability to sign six freshmen, all from Texas.
Sharp said she got exactly the players she wanted from within the state, so there was no need to continue pursuing other players.
Those six freshmen will help replace three seniors from last year's team and also will have the burden of heavy expectations. Tech is ranked No. 16 in the Associated Press press season and is also a favorite to contend for the Biz 12 title.
"They're living up to their reputation, and I'm excited for our team and for them," said senior Katrisa O'Neal. "They're a big reason why we're ranked."
However, Sharp also knows that the other Big 12 teams are just waiting to knock the Lady Raiders down.
"This is a pretty unforgiving conference and you can have a good basketball team and not finish very high," Sharp said.
Tech will provide one of the major challenges for co-defending Big 12 champion Iowa State. The Cyclones and the Lady Raiders will play on the last week of the season, and that game probably will have championship implications.
The 25-point truncating Iowa State dropped on Texas Tech last season cost the Lady Raiders the conference crown. So it may be a good thing that they are starting with a clean slate, bringing in six newcomers and replacing three seniors.
"We lost three big seniors, but we know that the year before we were able to overcome the loss of seniors the year before," said sophomore Plenette Pierson.
Pierson added that the season would be determined by the contributions by the six Texas freshmen.

Local voters picked Gore despite state going to Bush
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
George W. Bush may have won Kansas, but unofficial results show Douglas County voters and Daisy Hill residents preferred Al Gore.
Voter turnout at the Allen Fieldhouse polling site, where residents of Daisy Hill, Oliver and Nismith halls voted, was 71 percent Tuesday, with 710 of the 994 registered voters casting ballots, said Jo Dalquest. Douglas County deputy county clerk.
Democratic candidate Gore won the fieldhouse vote with 339 votes, while Republican candidate Bush garnered 231 votes at the site. Green Party candidate Ralph Nader pulled in 117 votes.
Molly Gise, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore and Tempipl resident assistant, said she didn't mind the long line

good for student voters
Four years ago, 702 of 1,399 registered voters cast ballots at the fieldhouse, an above 50 percent turnout rate. In that election, President Bill Clinton got the most votes with 341, or 49 percent of the vote. Bob Dole's 226 votes earned him 32 percent of the total votes.
"I'm sure some people were cranky," she said. "I imagine they thought they were going to just go in and leave pretty quickly. I was just happy to see a bunch of us out there."
Gise said a 70 percent turnout rate at the fieldhouse was
"I don't imagine that 70 percent of all registered voters voted yesterday," she said. "It's especially cool because students are known to be the most apathetic of voters."
Other polling sites serving student-heavy parts of Lawrence were the Central United Methodist Church, 1501 Mass. St., where scholarship hall residents and some Oread neighborhood residents voted. The South Park Recreation Center, 1141 Mass. St.; Plymouth Congregational Church, 928 Vermont St.; Lawrence Arts Center; 200 W. 9th St.; Hillcrest Elementary School, 1045 Hilltop St.; and the St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Road, also were polling sites that served student-heavy neighborhoods.
Voter turnout at the fieldhouse lagged just behind Douglas County's 82 percent turnout. Gore won 46 percent of the county's vote, logging 19,903 votes. Bush was not far behind, registering 18,583, or 43 percent, of the vote. Nader pulled in nearly 10 percent of the vote, receiving 4,158 votes.
Dalquest said the turnout in the county was average for a presidential election.
Travis Dowdy, Worland, Wyo., senior and Oliver Hall resident assistant, said he wasn't surprised the fieldhouse exit poll differed from the overall Kansas vote.
"I figured Bush would end up winning the state because Kansas is such a Republican state," Dowdy said. "But we have a lot of views on campus. We had people from all over country that went and voted, not just people from Kansas."

Campus political groups still eagerly awaiting election recount results

Though KU Young Democrats refused to give up hope yesterday that Al Gore could win the White House, College Republicans were certain preliminary declarations George W. Bush had wrapped up the presidency were on target.
In an election for the history books, Bush cautiously claimed victory yesterday, but Gore portrayed the outcome as uncertain and said Florida's crucial recount should be conducted "without any rush to judgment."
Democrats said it could be days or weeks before the nation knew its next president.
"It's surreal," said Julie Merz, president of Young Democrats and St. Louis senior. "I can't articulate it more than that. It's driving me crazy, and I think it's driving all the Young Democrats crazy. Not knowing kills you."
Election officials yesterday were reviewing vote totals that appeared to give Bush a narrow win in Florida. The state's 25 electoral votes remain the margin of victory as both Bush and Gore were agonizing close to the 270 required to win the White House. The Associated Press tally showed Bush leading by about 1,700 popular votes out of 6 million cast in the state.
"I think in the end he'll win," said Tim Burger, chairman of the College Republicans and Lenexa senior. "With the exception of the early news reports, which were totally inaccurate. Bush has been up in Florida since about 9 p.m. central time Tuesday. They never had a count that put Gore up."
first in more than a century — to win the presidency despite coming in second in popular votes.
Paul Johnson, professor of political science, said he was intrigued by the idea Gore could win the popular vote and not win the election.
If Bush wins Florida and Gore's lead in the national popular vote holds, Bush would be the fourth man in history — the
"I think it's neat," he said. "We've always talked about the possibility that the person with the most votes might not win. My prediction is that if it happens we'll see a constitutional amendment to significantly change or abolish the electoral college."

potential ballot abuses and questioned the motives of Florida's GOP secretary of state, Gore's staff said a legal challenge was one onton.
Bush's brother Jeb, governor of Florida,
said the recount would be completed by this evening, but Democrats suggested that might not be the end.
"I can't say for certainty when this will be over," said Gore campaign chairman William Daley. "This is the beginning of the process, not the end of the process."

University sees a drop in tenured female faculty for last year
By Jason Kraff
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
As the University of Kansas has worked to increase gender equity in faculty, growing numbers of women faculty members have not been accompanied by a jump in the number of tenured women.
In Fall 1999, the most recent year for which numbers were available, 203 of the University's 455 female faculty members were tenured, about 44.6 percent. In 1998, despite a net gain of 37 more women faculty members than 1997, just 45.7 percent were tenured.
But in 1989, when there were just 290 women, 137 of them, or 47.2 percent, were tenured.
Tenured faculty receive better benefits and higher pay. Normally, after serving for five or six years, assistant and associate professors apply for tenure status.
Danielle Dempsey-Swopes, associate director of equal opportunity, said that thus far, that office's recommendations to the University had focused on recruiting new women faculty members, which must happen before they could achieve tenure.
"Right now, we're getting more women in the pipeline," she said. "In many disciplines, we still struggle to get them into the University, particularly in some of the sciences, engineering and business."
Part of the reason may be that gender equity in faculty does not carry the incentives for student recruitment as other equal opportunity issues, such as increasing minority representation in faculty.
Stacey White is one of two female faculty members in the Urban Planning Program in the School of Architecture. With 15 total faculty members, the program is among the most heavily male-dominated on campus.
In her fourth year at the University, White said she didn't think her presence encouraged women to enroll in urban planning courses.
"I don't know if I could say that gender makeup of faculty is an important factor for students who come here," she said.

Student Senate rejects funding bill
Bv Kursten Phelos
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Student Senate rejected a bill last night to fund LeaderShape, a leadership program, out of the Senate reserve account, making it unlikely that the program will take place this year at the University.
Revenues from the University's contract with Coca-Cola had financed the weeklong program during its first three years at the University. Last spring, the administration decided not to allocate that money to the program, and the KU Endowment Association could not find the $3,000 needed in time to sponsor it in January, said Ben Walker, student body president. The bill was reduced to $28,611 after the costs of food and T-shirts were removed.
The reserve account, which has a balance of $428,000, has money that student organizations are granted but do not use. That money comes from the student activity fee that students pay each semester.
Walker said he didn't like the idea of funding the program out of the reserve account but said keeping LeaderShape running this year was more important.
"This program has changed a lot of lives, more than any pencil sharpener or clock or bench." Fuchs said.
Erin Simpson, off campus senator, said it was the University's responsibility, not Senate's, to find new funding for the program.
"What kind of administrative incompetence are we subsidizing by funding LeaderShape?" Simpson said. "I'm sick of paying fees that we weren't supposed to, and I'm sick of funding programs the University says it's committed to. The Student Senate activity fee is not meant to subsidize University departments
But Tanisha Jones, holdover senator, said the program was too selective to use reserve-account money.
"I went to LeaderShape, and I'm not going to say it wasn't an amazing experience," Jones said. "But to pay $30,000 for 65 people for six days, you cannot say that's not selective. Are we going to spend 11.5 percent of the reserve account on 65 people?"
Kim Fuchs, Student Executive Committee chairman, said although only 65 people participated in the annual program, its effects were campus wide, making it a good candidate for reserve account money.
What's next: The KU Endowment Association will seek outside funding to finance the program in January 2002.
STUDENT SENATE MEETING
What happened? Student Senate rejected a bill that would have funded leader Shape, a week-long leadership program, with $28,611 by a 25 to 26 vote. Two senators abstained. What it means: The University likely will not have the program this year.
who have screwed up."
Walker said that the bill would have funded the program only for this year and that the program provided tools for students to be leaders that could not be provided by other leadership programs.
Ideas for programs such as Colors of KU, an upcoming diversity workshop, came out of orrior LeaderShape programs, he said.
.
But Mark Bradshaw, holdover senator; said it wasn't vital to have the program every year. "We don't offer valuable experiences like clockwork;" Bradshaw said. "We need to make sure we spend the money in the best way possible."

Group to raise money for military school protest
Latin American Solidarity will be having a fundraiser at Coco Loco Mexican Cafe, 943 Massachusetts St., from 10 tonight to 2 a.m. tomorrow.
Money from the event will go toward a trip the group is taking to Fort Benning, Ga., to protest the School of Americas, a military school that trains Latin-American soldiers. Graduates from the school have high records of human-rights violations and have been trained in torture and interrogation techniques.
Joanna Griffin, president of Latin American Solidarity and Wichita junior, said 28 members from the group would attend the nonviolent protest Nov. 17 to Nov. 21 in Fort Benning.
"The protest is to object to the school being a taxpayer-run school that teaches torture techniques," she said. "This is a good cause and this will be one our main fund-raisers for it."
Griffin said space was available for anyone interested in attending the protest.
Tickets for tonight's event are $7.

Republicans make gains in Kansas legislature
TOPEKA — Despite the close outcome in some races, the overall picture is clear: Republicans gained ground in the Legislature and Democrats hit their lowest point since 1972 in the Senate.
"Of course I'm disappointed," said state democratic chairman Tom Sawyer. "We had hoped to do better. The turnout for the presidential election was a negative factor."
Republicans increased their Senate margin by three to 30-10 and had a net gain of two House seats for a 79-46 edge when the Legislature convenes Jan. 8.
The GOP hadn't done as well in Senate races in a generation. From 1969 through 1972, Republicans held 32 seats to Democrats' 8. The all-time low for Democrats is one seat, in 1947-48.
When the Legislature convenes, the Senate will have 15 new faces — 14 Republicans and one Democrat, with six moving up from the House. The only new Democrat is Rep. David Haley of Kansas City, who will replace retiring Sen. Sherman Jones, D-Kansas City.
In the House, there's a chance Republicans could pick up another Democratic seat to push their total to 80. They picked up three seats and lost one to Democrats, for the net gain of 79.

Holden defeats Talent for Missouri governor
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri's $16 million governor's race came to a close with Democrat Bob Holden winning against Republican Jim Talent.
Voters weighed in Tuesday for the only poll that mattered in record numbers for a presidential election year. Holden attributed the higher turnout to renewed voter commitment following the plane crash death of Democratic Gov. Mel Camahan, the party's U.S. Senate nominee.
Talent, U.S. representative from Chesterfield, said Cahman's Oct. 16 death overshadowed the closing stretch of races for governor and other offices.
Still he and Holden, the two-term state treasurer from Jefferson City, kept slugging about education, taxes, highways and values.
Talent faced an extra burden in his first statewide campaign: no St. Louis-area candidate had been elected to the office since World War II.
Wall Street optimistic about election results
NEW YORK — No matter who won the White House, Wall Street got what it wanted in Tuesday's election: a Congress so closely divided it likely will mean business as usual in the new administration.
With continued Republican majorities in the House and Senate, investors expected little change in the way government operates for the next four years.
"We're setting things up for a nice year-end rally," said Arthur Hogan, chief market analyst at Jefferies & Co. "There's such a razor-thin Republican majority that whoever wins (the presidency) is going to have a great deal of difficulty moving forward with much of their agenda. That gridlock is something Wall Street likes to see."
There were no assurances, however that the stock market's volatility was finished.
Stocks fluctuated yesterday after election officials said it likely would be at least another day before they knew the winner of Florida's electoral votes, which will determine the next president.
The Dow finished down 45.12 at 10,907.06 after briefly hitting 11,000 earlier in the day. The tech-dominated Nasdaq closed down 184.09 at 3,231.70.
Three states elect women governors
Ruth Ann Minner began working in the Delaware statehouse as a receptionist in the 1970s. Judy Martz entered Montana politics just four
years ago after helping run a garbage business.
Now both lieutenant governors have been promoted to their states' highest office and have helped give the nation more women governors — five — than ever before.
In all, three women were among the 11 gubernatorial victors in Tuesday's elections; the other was New Hampshire's Democratic incumbent, Jeanne Shaheen. They join two serving Republican governors, Christine Todd Whitman of New Jersey and Jane Hull of Arizona.
Two other women ran strong majorparty campaigns, but lost in high-profile races.
North Dakota's Heidi Heitkamp, a democrat diagnosed with breast cancer in September, lost to Republican banker John Hoeven. In Vermont, Democratic Gov. Howard Dean survived a challenge from Republican Ruth Dwyer, who opposed a Dean-backed bill that extended domestic partnership rights to gay couples.
Violence ignites again in West Bank, Gaza
WORLD
JERUSALEM — Violence flared in the West Bank and Gaza Strip yesterday, even as Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat headed for Washington to consult with President Clinton. Palestinian gunmen killed a customs worker on her way to work, and four Palestinians were shot dead in clashes.
The Palestinian leader flew to Cairo to meet with Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak — the main sponsor, with Clinton, of the peace process — and then to Britain for a meeting with Prime Minister Tony Blair.
Arafat, who spoke with Blair during a three-hour London stop, "underlined the important role which Britain and the European Union could play in support of the peace process," a Blair representative said. No further details were known.
The Palestinian leader was due in Washington by nightfall, and he will meet with Clinton today. Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak was to meet with Clinton on Sunday.
"I go to Washington to ensure that the end of violence that was agreed on at Sharm el-Sheik is carried out if that is possible. That is all," he said, referring to a truce mediated last month by Clinton in Evot.
Barak said on Israeli television he would not ask for resumption of peace negotiations.
Although the Palestinians have said they wouldn't declare statehood on Nov. 15 — the 12th anniversary of a symbolic independence declaration Arafat made in exile — they did say they could do so without prior notice.

REAL money catching on slowly
By Matt Merkel-Hess
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Less than three months after its inception, the local currency known as REAL dollars shows signs of losing its training wheels.
Organizers said $6,500 of the currency was in circulation, and more than 60 businesses now accept the $1, $3 and $10 REAL money, which stands for Real Economic Alternatives in Lawrence.
Some businesses have experienced frequent use of the local money, but others are waiting for the currency to have an effect.
"We just haven't seen the participation that we had hoped or expected," said
Richard Payton, an office manager at M & M Office Supply, 623 Massachusetts St.
M Office Supply, 623 Massachusetts St.
He said there had been four or five purchases totaling less than $50 REAL dollars.
"We have no problem accepting them, and we think it's a pretty good idea," he said. "But I think more businesses in Lawrence need to participate and get involved to make it a successful venture."
At Free State Brewing Company, 636 Massachusetts St., owner Chuck Magerl said $900 to $1,000 REAL dollars had flowed through his business during the past month.
For now, Magerl said Free State was maintaining relationships with suppliers and using REAL dollars if possible. But when choosing new suppliers in the

You can exchange Real Estate money for REAL dollars at the Free State Credit Union, 901 Mississippi St. or at Liberty Hill, 642 Massachusetts St.

future, he said local businesses that accepted REAL dollars would play a part in their decision. In turn, Free State has used the dollars for change, office and hardware supplies, and as a portion of salaries if employees requested it, Magerl said.
John Cougher, a member of the REAL
dollar sponsoring group, the Lawrence Trade Organization, said there still was the big task of educating the public and businesses. But Coughler said he was happy with the response so far and thought it had drawn attention to local businesses.
Bill Sepic, president and chief executive officer of the Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, said he was not familiar with the specifics of REAL dollars but that it did give a tracking system to how much money was kept in town.
"It's very difficult to say that it's increasing sales, but it does draw attention to certain merchants," he said. "I appreciate the effort and applaud the initiative to keep money in Lawrence."

Unhealthy eating habits lead to unwanted pounds
By Meghan Bainum
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
John Darling, Leavenworth
junior, has a confession to make.
"I've fallen madly in love with Betty Crocker," he said, "and her Hamburger Helper."
Like many college students, Darling eats on the run because of his busy schedule.
Darling said Hamburger Helper dinners were filling, cheap and fast.
"You could eat well cheaply," he said. "But it would require an enormous investment in time to go foraging."
She said many college students struggled with their weight because they did not eat a balanced diet with fruits and vegetables.
Ordering pizza seems easier than creating a healthy meal. But Ann Chapman, nutrition coordinator at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said pizza and Hamburger Helper might increase students' waist sizes more than their free time.
"If your whole meal is mac and cheese, you'll eat the whole box," Chapman said. "But if you take the time to eat an apple or a bunch of baby carrots, you'll fill
up on those foods, so you'll only eat half the box."
Chapman also said some college students exercised less than they did in high school but still ate the same amount of food or more.
One of the biggest culprits in the battle of the bulge is alcohol and the root-drinking munchies.
Michelle Sanford, Littleton,
Colo., freshman, said she was
fighting off the dreaded freshman
15.
Sanford, who said she never drank before coming to college, compensates by working out at least four times a week and eating salads instead of fried food at Mrs. E's. Still, temptation sometimes wins.
"You can go to E's with the mindset that you're just going to have salad, but the second you smell the other food and see it, your mouth waters," she said. "And then you're like, 'All right, I'll have a hamburger.'"
But students such as Darling, who used to live in a scholarship hall, long for the days of prepared meals.
He said it was easier to eat healthier when fruits, vegetables and unboxed meals were easily available.
But Darling said his diet was
EATING HEALTHY:
1. Don't skip meals: This will lead
to late-night pigouts.
2. Eat fruits and vegetables: Stay away from fried or boxed foods.
1. away from tired or boxed 2. Follow the food pyramid;
2 to 3 servings from the dairy and protein group
3 to 5 servings from the vegetable group
2 to 4 servings from the fruit group
6 to 11 servings from the grains group.
Small servings from the fats group
4. Prepare your lunch the night before to save time.
5. Stock up on convenient, portable foods that can be eaten on the ao.
6. Prepare and freeze several healthy meals on the weekend to be eaten throughout the week.

Reliable Kansas votes Bush ticket
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — On the most suspenseful night in American politics since Dewey didn't defeat Truman, there was one headline that could safely be written evn before the polls closed: BUSH WINS KANSAS.
The Texas governor's 57 percent share of the vote in Kansas wasn't the biggest in the country — Wyoming and Idaho both went 69 for Bush — but the Sunflower State remains as reliable an entry in the Republican win column as any the GOP can wish.
Bush took Kansas without even campaigning in the state
"He didn't come ask for our votes because we were already giving them," said Joe Aistrup, professor of political science and director of the Docking Institute of Public Affairs at Fort Hays State University.
"Kansas has such a long history of voting for Republican candidates that when it does not, it's truly news," he said.
Of the 35 presidential elections since Kansas gained statehood in 1861, Bush's victory was the 28th by a Republican candidate. That includes 1948, when some
Americans went to bed on election night thinking Republican Thomas Dewey had defeated Democrat Harry Truman.
Demographics, the makeup of the electorate by race and other distinguishing factors are part of the answer.
What's behind the GOP's hold on the Sunflower State?
The Kansas electorate is mostly Caucasian — 89 percent Caucasian in Tuesday's turnout, to just 5 percent black and 5 percent Hispanic, according to a Voter News Service exit poll of 734 Kansans as they left voting boots Tuesday. Results were subject to sampling error of plus or minus 5 percentage points for all voters, higher for subgroups.
"Demographically, we don't have the large minority population the more industrial states have," said Mel Kahn, professor of political science at Wichita State University. "And we're not as industrialized as the larger states. Those are characteristics that usually go with the more Democratic states. The labor union movement here is nothing like what you find in the East Coast or the industrialized Midwest."
Number of women on tenure track stagnant
Continued from page 1A
But as the percentage of female faculty members has climbed, the portion of men who are tenured has been steady.
Of 943 male faculty counted in fall of 1999,672,or 71.3 percent, were tenured.In 1989,715 of 987 men were tenured,about 72.4 percent.
Though women were not taking more tenured jobs in that 10-year period, they went from representing about 23 percent of KU faculty to about 32.5 percent.
Sandra Gautt, assistant provost,
said that while the proportion of
women who were tenured hadn't risen, the University had focused on increasing the number of women on a tenure track by awarding them either assistant or associate professorships.
"While we continue to hire more women, we clearly have more who are tenured or are tenured track positions," she said. "Over the last 10 years, you've seen a commitment to an increase in overall hiring of women."
But Kim Roddis, professor of civil engineering, said she had been happy with the growing number of women in faculty positions. In August, Roddis became the first woman to receive tenure in the School of Engineering. When she came to the University 13 years ago, she was the department of civil engineering's first female faculty member. Now, she is accompanied by six other members in the school.
"For me, personally, the system has worked fine." Roddis said. "My department and the school clearly are trying to do the right thing to be able to allow both men and women to go through the tenure process."

1998 446 204 45.7

While the number of female faculty members has doubled in the last ten years, the percentage of women who are tenured has remained stagnant.

People should adopt crusade against SOA
presiding of church. The previous day, he had begged the El Salvadoran army to end its repression of his fellow citizens. His assassins were soldiers, graduates of the United States Army School of the Americas
On March 23,1980, Archbishop Oscar Romero was shot and killed while presiding over mass in his El
Nine months later, 767 people, mostly women and children, were massacred in El Mozote, El Salvador. They were murdered by a special counterinsurgency battalion trained under the supervision of United States military advisers. Many of them were graduates of the School of the Americas.
Today, you, a U.S. taxpayer, fund the School of the Americas (SOA) located in
1973
Fort Behnigh, Georgia.
Known in Latin
America as "the school of the assassins," this institution trains Latin American soldiers in counterinsurgency,
infantry tactics, military intelligence, anti-narcotics and commando operations. Many of its graduates, such as those who massacred the people of El Mozote and Archbishop Oscar Romero, are infamous human-rights abusers.
Holy Worthen guest columnist opinion.com/iansan.com
The SOA originally began in Panama in 1946 as a means of professionalizing Latin American armies. Throughout the 1960s, its purpose was to thwart Cold War threats in Latin America and "democratize" the region. In 1984, the SOA was relocated to Georgia. With the end of the cold war, SOA's emphasis has shifted to the "war on drugs."
Upon viewing the violent history and repressive nature of many of its graduates, it is evident that the SOA is not an innocent promoter of democracy. Instead, many SOA graduates act as U.S. government and corporate puppets. They often oppress their people so that the masses remain poor and powerless. The wealth lies in the hands of a privileged few, and the people and the land fall prev to global corporate initiatives.
As the violence surmounts, the U.S. public has become increasingly aware of the atrocities that SOA graduates commit. They have begun to speak, protest and denounce U.S. government support of such an entity. In 1990, the SOA Watch was formed to monitor and raise public awareness of the SOA. Last November, a group of KU students joined more than 12,000 people at the gates to Fort Benning and demanded the closure of the school. Over 4,400 of these protesters risked arrest by walking onto the base in a solemn funeral procession in memory of those who have been murdered by SOA graduates.
Thanks to action like this, members of Congress are beginning to listen to the voices of their voters. Recently, Congress narrowly missed passing a bill that supported closure of the school.
We, as U.S. citizens, have the responsibility to take action against the SOA. We should speak for the voiceless, for those who are silenced by the barrel of a gun. Too many innocent victims have died at the hands of men trained with the support of our tax dollars.
I urge you to write your representatives, and I invite you to join me and thousands of others at the gates of Fort Benning this November. As Oscar Romero stated in his final plea, "In the name of God, in the name of this suffering people whose cry rises to heaven more loudly each day, I implore you, I beg you, I order you: Stop the repression." It is time to say no to the SOA. It is time to end bloodshed in the name of democracy.
Latin American Solidarity is a KU student organization and will be organizing a trip with SOA Watch of Kansas to protest the SOA in Fort Benning November 17-19. For more information, e-mail hworth@ukans.edu,or access the Web site at www.soaw.org.

Kansan report card
Pass:
High student voter turnout. 710 residence hall students showed up to vote at Allen Fieldhouse Tuesday night. Is the Baby Boomers' progeny becoming less apathetic?
Jackass. MTV has a new show featuring the zany antics of a bunch of "real" people. Up next on the History Channel, Benjamin Franklin will ride a motorcycle through a series of flaming hoops.
Lawrence Planning Commission. The Planning Commission voted against the proposed housing ordinance last week that would limit the number of unrelated people living in a single-family residence from four to two.
Fail:
The Electoral College. Where else in the democratic world is there a possibility that the people's first choice in a presidential election won't be a nation's leader? Time for some constitutional revision.
Blair Witch II: Book of Shadows. In an unprecedented attempt to capitalize on the success of the first one, producers have created a Blair Witch sequel in which horror-flick gore takes the place of innovate filmmaking and creativity.
Kansas Secretary of State. Ron Thombergh. He threatened to "gigorously prosecute" anyone in Kansas who agreed to swap votes for the presidential election. How about we prosecute the Secretary of State for idle threats and harassment. (Note: It's not even illegal.)
Perspective
Printing deadlines make for interesting headlines
I'm most of us are familiar with the photograph of Harry Truman triumphantly holding up a copy of the Chicago Tribute, with a headline wrongly declaring Dewey as the election winner. Depending on what happens in Florida, Al Gore might be able to do that with the
Kursan, as well as many other newspapers across the nation.
For most newspapers, the news that the election results weren't decisive after all came too late.
Tuesday night, Bob Woodward of the Washington Post told Larry King that the people he really felt sorry for were the newspaper editors trying to write yesterday's headlines. As difficult as that decision is to make, I'm sure George and AI were sweating a lot more than we were.
Anyone who stayed up
Anyone who stayed up watching the results come in Tuesday night knows the numbers are neck and neck most of the night. Elections are one of those areas newspapers cover that aren't cut and dried. They run late, and they aren't always finished when you think they are.

Tuesday night, Kansan staff members stayed up watching the networks and the Associated Press wire to see if the race would come to an end. Although the Kansan's deadline to get the paper to the Lawrence Journal-World printing press is usually 1 a.m., we waited until 1.55 a.m. We checked the networks and the wire, finally
sensing the paper with the information we knew to be true at the time — Bush won.
Unfortunately, in the early hours of the morning, that changed. By the time you picked up your copy on the way to class yesterday morning, the race again was up in the air.
What's wrong with newspapers, anyway?
Being weighed down by printing deadlines is newspaper's obvious weakness. The ability to publish updates on the Web has been a godsend for printed media. Sure, television has the advantage when it comes to updates, but I'd rather have to make last-minute, deadline decisions than have to carry on with endless commentary and banter, even when no new results come in for hours.
It's not that we don't have a clue how to cover an election. The logistics of creating a printed product limit the amount of revision we can do at the eleventh hour.
With the limitations of newspapers also come benefits. Newspaper articles can give an in-depth account of an event, the kind of information you'd have to watch hours and hours of televised coverage to get. Aside from some obvious flaws, I hope today's paper provided good coverage of election highlights. The Kansan also has something you won't find on network television or in other papers — coverage of your reactions and involvement as students.
Although the complications of this year's elections make producing newspapers difficult, they certainly make for interesting news. As things change and results come in, check out the Kansan for election coverage with a campus spin. We're doing the best we can — under the circumstances.

Editorial
Businesses need to be responsible
Recent spate of incidents raise the bar on corporate government accountability.
Whether it is another round of Firestone recalls or a doomed Russian submarine, this year's news events remind us that corporations and governments need to take responsibility for their actions and be accountable to the people.
A month ago when the Russian submarine Kursk sank and the fate of its crew was unknown, not only did Russian President Putin stay on his vacation, but the government refused to accept help, perhaps to keep safe certain military secrets.
Responsibility, whether corporate or governmental, means more than just apologizing or assigning blame. Responsibility means taking the proper steps after an incident occurs to maintain credibility and prevent further calamities.
In the midst of Firestone Tires' media-escalated recalls, Ford ran commercials of Chief Executive Officer Jacques Nasser explaining the issue.
Many said the apology came too late. It was followed by more recalls and fatalities. Stories surfaced of substandard tires sold to meet deadlines.
Add United Airlines apologizing for canceled flights and Microsoft for breaking antitrust laws, the public wonders why corporations put themselves in positions where they must issue优意法-lamed and insincere apologies, face lawsuits and lose revenue.
But the public also can learn from the recent rash of recalls: No product, regardless of warnings, is completely safe. Faulty tires or not, driving always can threaten your safety.
Common sense teaches us that taking responsibility for one's actions, on all levels, is the only way to avoid catastrophe.

GOP still in control after narrow victory
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — In an election that was generally friendly to incumbents, Republicans narrowly retained their grip on the House of Representatives, extending their reign to eight years.
With two races still undecided yesterday, Republicans picked up enough Democratic seats to offset their losses and win the 218 seats necessary for control. Democrats needed a net gain of at least eight seats to regain the majority they lost in 1994.
At 6:30 a.m. Central Time, Republicans held 220 seats and were leading in one of the remaining races, with Democrats holding 211 seats and leading in one other
— a trend that would give them a net pickup of two. Two independents, one reliably siding with each party, won their reelection bids.
"We figured it was going to be close," said House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-Ill., who currently presides over a House with 222 Republicans, 209 Democrats, two independents and two vacancies.
Virginia Republican Rep. Tom Davis, the chair of the National Republican Congressional Committee, claimed victory despite the narrow control in the House.
"House Democrats have lost their once-in-a-generation chance to win back control of the House," Davis said.
The undecided seats were held by incumbents: Republican Clay Shaw of Florida and Democrat Rush Holl of New Jersey. Both were too close to call and some recounts were likely.
In early morning results, Republican Mike Rogers defeated Democrat Dianne Byrum, picking up a Michigan seat vacated by Debbie Stabenow, who won a
Senate seat. California Democrat Jane Harman defeated Republican incumbent Steve Kuykendall to return to the seat she gave up two years ago in an unsuccessful bid for governor.
Republican incumbents Brian Bilbray of California and Jay Dickey of Arkansas and Democrats Sam Gejdenson of Connecticut and David Minge of Minnesota were defeated.
Besides their Connecticut victory, Republicans won Democratic open seats in Pennsylvania, New York, Virginia and Missouri. The victory by Shelley Moore Capito in West Virginia's 2nd District was the GOP's first for the House in that state in 18 years.
In an interview, Hastert attributed the GOP's ability to hold the House to an agenda that included balancing the federal budget, paying down public debt and ensuring local control of education. Hastert also helped soften the image of the GOP compared with the anti-government revolutionaries that took the House in 1994 behind Newt Gingrich.
"I've tried to make the House work. I think that's what the people want," said Hastert, who won reelection to an eighth term from Illinois. "A lot of the people who were shrill aren't there any more." The Democratic leader, Dick Gephardt of Missouri, won his 13th term, but fell agonizingly short of his goal of regaining the majority his party lost in 1994. Still, the Democrats could console themselves with some victories.
In Oklahoma, Democrat Brad Carson claimed an open seat that Republicans had won in their 1994 landslide. The incumbent, Rep Tom Coburn, retired after adhering to a self-imposed limit of three terms.
Late, close election a burden for media
NEW YORK — TV networks declared George W. Bush the president-elect, then took it back during a bizarre night of election coverage that left everyone, including newscasters, flabbergasted.
The Associated Press
Newspapers across the country didn't have it any easier. They pushed back deadlines, slowed press runs and planned extra editions. But with the presidential race coming down to the wire and deadlines looming, many papers went to bed — prematurely declaring Bush the winner, even as Florida's crucial votes were still being counted.
"BUSH WINS!" the bold red headline screamed from the New York Post.
"BUSH TRIUMPHS," proclaimed The Charleston Gazette in West Virginia.
After holding out most of the night, The New York Times' Web site around 3 a.m. finally declared: "Bush Captures the White House." About an hour later, The Times' site pronounced the race "tight."
The Times said it released about 100,000 newspapers with headlines saying Bush "appears" to have won. The first paragraph said Bush "was elected the 43rd president of the United States by one of the tightest margins in history."
In Chicago, both papers hedged their bets. The Sun-Times avoided the subject with the lead headline "Hillary Wins," and the Tribune said, "As close as it gets."
The Associated Press did not declare a winner early yesterday, despite TV network projections.
In downtown Raleigh, N.C., Clyde Wagner was scoping up copies of The News & Observer with the headline "Bush Wins." The paper said more than half the press run
used that headline before it was replaced with "Bush Leads."
"I don't know if these will be collector's items, but I'm trying," Wagner said.
The premature headlines were reminiscent of the Chicago Daily Tribune's infamous 1948 gaffe, "Dewey Defeats Truman." Except this time, Gore himself conceded defeat — giving Bush a congratulatory telephone call. He later called back to retract the concession.
"We stopped the presses, and pulled back just about all of them," said Matthew V. Storin, editor of The Boston Globe, which ran the early headline: "It's Bush in a tight one." "We had about 20,000 either on trucks or around the (loading) dock. We pulled back just about all, but there's no way to be absolutely sure."
The only things that seemed sure: a recount in Florida and a political night no one would ever forget.
"I hope it will be two-out-of-three and not three-out-of-five," CBS anchor Dan Rather said in a wry reference to the networks' twice-retracted call for the winner of the pivotal Florida race — first giving it to Al Gore, then to Bush, before returning the state to the undecided column.
Al Ortiz, executive producer of CBS' election coverage, said the network believed when it called the race for Bush his lead in Florida was too big to overcome. But CBS miscalculated how many Gore votes were still uncounted, he said.
"It looked like a solid margin that was going to hold." Ortiz said.
Said NBC election producer Jeff Zucker, "We made mistakes. But we made mistakes on good faith based on bad information. If you make a mistake and own up to it, that's fine."

Bruins rely on senior guard
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
NEW YORK — When UCLA steps on the court tonight against Kansas, its hopes of a grand season opening will rest on the shoulders of one man — senior point guard Earl Watson.
which he is proud of.
Although he clearly is not a superhero, given the rich tradition of UCLA basketball, he has managed to have some super accomplishments.
Most notably, he has started every game of his college career and is a preseason All-American nominee. If he starts every game this year, Watson will have started more games than any Bruin,
"It's very special to me," Watson said. "I would take great pride in that. It is hitting me so quick that I don't realize how great it is, but I'm not taking it for granted."
Coach Steve Lavin doesn't take Watson for granted either. He said he had asked for even more out of his team captain.
"Watching him grow and develop during the last four years has been as rewarding as anything I've been involved with in my coaching career," Lavin said. "Still, my expectations are high of Earl, but I think he is capable of shouldering that as a senior."
Lavin said Watson must step up for his team to be successful. But
against Kansas, he will need some of Watson's sidekicks to step up, particularly his post players, led by junior center Dan Gadzuric and sophomore forward Jason Kapono.
Lavin said his big men must step to the front of the stage because of Kansas' dominant post play. Kansas' big men pound the glass, he said.
"We have to stop them by committee, or collectively," Lavin said. "We can't expect any one of our guys to shut down their front line, but by committee, we can play good defense and minimize their size and strength."
Watson said the challenge of Kansas would be tough, but he said
it was a great way to open the season.
"There is no better way to start of the season than by playing the best teams right at the start," Watson said. "You want to have equal balance so you can get better by beating the great teams. I expect to see a little bit of everything in this game."
Lavin said that the stage was set for an exciting season opener.
"The lights are on, it's on TV and it's gonna be a packed house," Lavin said. "It's where you can really accelerate your team. If you can't get excited — as a player or coach — about this game, then I think you've got to check for a pulse."
'Hawk overcomes first-game jitters

When junior guard KC Hilgenkamp suited up in her Jayhawk uniform for last night's game, she would it be a special one. It would be the first time she would play as a Jayhawk.
Not only was it her first game for the Jayhawks, but she was in the starting lineup. It wasn't a big deal to the transfer from Hutchinson County Community College that she started: what mattered was how she played.
Hilgenkamp scored seven points, seven assists and four steals in her debut last night, helping the women's basketball team defeat the Basketball Travelers 69-50.
"I was really impressed that even though we had our first-game jitters and a little bit of miscommunication in the first half, we really seemed to pick it up and fight through what we were going through." Jackson said.
Hilgenkamp said she had first-game jitters like her teammates, but as she eventually was able to relax.
"I think it was first-game jitters for everybody," Hilgenkamp said. "As the game went on, I got back into rhythm."
Jennifer Jackson, senior guard, said she noticed the team's jitters and its effect on the team's performance.
Hilgenkamp said she was pleased with her performance and was able to contribute.
"I was pretty happy," Hilgenkamp said. "I think as the year goes on, I will get more rhythm."
Kansas coach Marian Washington noticed Hilgenkamp's improvement during the game.
"I thought players like KC got better with the time they played on the floor, and that's encouraging," Washington said. "KC started to become more intense and relax more as the game went on."
Hilgenkamp said the exhibition game helped her and her teammates find where they were as a team.
"It also helps you see what you can work on and improve on," she said.
Hilgenkamp chose to play at the University of Kansas for various reasons.
"I've always like KU since I was little." Hilgenkamp said. "I liked the traditions and coach Washington. I have a lot of respect for her."

Kansas volleyball team shutout by Texas Tech
The Kansas volleyball team took a hard fall last night, courtesy of a shutout by Texas Tech in Lubbock, Texas.
"We struggled out of the gates," said coach Ray Beachard. "Texas Tech really overmatched us. It looked like we were ready to go, but we didn't respond."
Kansas dropped game scores of 15-1, 15-5 and 15-11 at the United Spirit Arena. The Jayhawks fell to 14-11 overall and 5-11 in the Big 12 Conference, while the Red Raiders improved to 21-6 and 9-6. The Jayhawks also lost to the Red Raiders on Sept. 30 in Lawrence in a five-game decision.
Kansas was led by senior outside hitter Amy Myatt, who recorded 11 kills. Sophomore defensive specialist Jamie Morningstar added Kansas' only two service aces.
However, Kansas' bests paled in comparison to Texas Tech's top showings.
Senior outside hitter Colleen Smith used her 6-foot-7 frame and smacked down 20 kills. As a team, the Red Raiders recorded five service aces.
"It took us a game and a half to get organized," Bechard said. "It was disappointing, but we didn't have an answer for them."
The 'Hawks meet Kansas State at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.

In the Jayhawks' final exhibition game, Kansas waxed instate Division II floe Emporia State 120-51. Seven Jayhawks scored in double figures — led by senior guard Luke Axtell"s 19 points — in a game that wasn't as close as the score indicated.
The Bruins defeated Team Concept 11.8-6 in their final exhibition game, leading one to wonder if their foes understood the "concept" of defense, UCLA started the game on a 25-0 run and shot 59 percent from the field, as the Bruins gained momentum heading into the regular season.

Jayhawks look to pounce on Bruins
Continued from page 8A
**Crider Stays Home** Another player who didn't make the trip to the Big Apple was junior guard John Crider, who reportedly had been seeking a transfer. Williams said Crider had suffered a thigh bruise and probably wouldn't have played, but the Jayhawk coach said
the injury was not the entire reason Crider failed to make the trib.
"It was just as much as for his thigh bruise," Williams said. "Why bring a guy who wasn't able to practice? That's part of it, but I'm not saving that's all of it."
Williams Awaits Recruits Williams still had not received the letters of intent for the four
Jayhawk recruits and was unable to comment about the possible new signings. He said he hadn't received the letters because he was halfway across the country, not because the recruits failed to send them in.
Williams said he expected to introduce the new Jayhawks — who reportedly are Aaron Miles,
Michael Lee, Keith Langford and Wayne Simlin — early next week
This is it? The Jayhawks' trip to New York hasn't left much time for fun. The Kansas coaches and players visited the New York Stock Exchange and went to a New York Knicks game yesterday, but no other tourist-like activities were planned for the Jayhawks.

Kansas prepares for UCLA
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
NEW YORK — Somehow, Drew Gooden and Eric Cowenwith both had to travel to the biggest city on the East Coast to try and send a message back west.
Growing up in California, both Gooden and Chenowith were force-fed UCLA basketball. Both were recruited by the Bruins at some point in their careers. And tonight, when their Jayhawks play UCLA at Madison Square Garden in New York, both want to let everyone in California know how well they're doing.
"I think it's a big challenge for me because I really want to beat UCLA," said Chenowith, a senior center. "I grew up in California, and I'm a (Bruins coach Steve) Lavin fan, but I'm not a UCLA fan. And I really want to win."
Chenowith's hatred of Bruin colors contrasts Gooden, who said tonight's game was an opportunity to play against the team he rooted for growing up.
"Everyone was a UCLA fan at some point, because they dominated," said Gooden, sophomore forward. "They had a good tradition on the west coast. But now I'm at Kansas, so I can't root for them anymore."
In fact, Gooden's adoration of the Bruins and
More information For additional information on the Jayhawks' trip to the Big Apple, See page 24.
The No. 19-ranked Bruins are not an easy eoy to start a season, and, if nothing else, UCLA almost certainly will pose more of a challenge than the Jayhawks' two exhibition opponents, the California All-Stars and Emporia State.
"Playing in the league, I was like, I didn't know Baylor was in the Big 12." Gooden said. "But I know a lot about UCLA. I know that there has been a great stock of players that have come out of there, and they have a good stock of players this year."
the Pac-10 was so great he didn't even know the schools in the Big 12 Conference, even as recently as last season.
"We haven't faced anybody yet that's going to go to the offensive backboards like UCLA's going to go," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "We've got to concentrate and cut down on our second shots."
The Jayhawks will tip off their season at 5:30 tonight on ESPN2.
Kansas Game Notes
Axtell Still Alling Williams continued to
lament the loss of senior forward Luke Axtell yesterday. Axtell sprained his ankle in practice by landing on Gooden's foot Tuesday, and didn't make the trip to New York.
"He hurt it about an hour before practice ended, and it swelled up about as big as I've ever seen," Williams said. "The doctor thought it would just get worse if he got on an airplane and it went through pressure changes. That's not crying before the battle, it's just saying facts, and we would love to have him for the first two games."
Williams also pondered who would replace Axtell in the Kansas lineup. Since Axtell was injured so close to the game, the Jayhawks worked overtime yesterday at the New Jersey Nets' practice facility to help find a replacement.
"We had some problems trying to figure out what we were going to do." Williams said. "The other [small forward] is Kenny Gregory. After Kenny do you go to Bryant Nash, a freshman, who's wide-eyed and bushy tailed? Or do you go with Mario Kinsey and slide down Jeff Boschese and Kirk Hinrich? Or do you go with Drew Gooden and put him in a position he's never played before?"

In the first half of Kansas 69-50 exhibition victory last night, the Basketball Travelers should have been nicknamed after another basketball violation — the Basketball Personal Fouls.
The Travelers tallied 15 foils in the first half alone. They did, however, manage to tone down their grabbing and hooking in the second half, adding six more foils and finishing the game with 21.
Kansas junior center Kristin Geoffroy said the Travelers tended to take extra liberties with their

in the first half.
The 19-point win suggested Kansas handled the Travelers easily, but the 'Hawks found themselves trailing by three points at halftime. They were down by as many as 16 points toward the end of the first half
But neither the screens nor Kansas' paltry first-half shooting could keep the Jayhawks from winning the game.
Kansas found itself picking up the intensity and carried it into the second half.
"Our defense wasn't very effective, for the most part, in the first half," said Kansas coach Marian Washington.
Kansas allowed only 12 second-half points and awoke from its offensive slumber, shooting 48 percent from the field. The 'Hawks shot a frigid 36 percent in the first half.
Washington said the Travelers jumped out to such a wide lead because they were doing a good job of moving without the ball, whereas the 'Hawks weren't keeping up.
That 86 percent would have been much worse had it not been for the shooting of Geoffroy. She was 3-4 from the field in the first half and ended with 16.
"Late in the first half they finally found themselves playing a little better defense." Washington said.
The offensive leader for Kansas was senior forward Jaclyn Johnson. She lit up the Travelers for

Bad-luck charm advises Williams
Dear Coach Williams.
You know how these things work. I write this column directly to you; you read it; a couple of tears are probably shed; you gain inspiration; you go win your game tonight against UCLA in the Coaches vs. Cancer Classic in New York.
But I guarantee that's not going to happen with this column. First, you're in New York right now and there's a 99.9 percent chance you won't even read this column. Second, I'm not good at giving out words of inspiration. And third, I bring bad luck to your basketball team, so it's best if you stay away from me altogether.
Last semester, I was the men's basketball reporter for the Kansan. You might remember me. That day when you blew off steam at the Kansan during a press conference, I was the guy who was the scapegoat. A Kansan sportswriter had written a column ripping Lester Earl, you took offense, then voiced your complaints to me, Yeah, I'm that guy.
To get on with my story, I was physically present at your remaining 20 games last season
— including those devastating losses on the road to Missouri, Texas, Iowa, Iowa State and Oklahoma State. Never in my life had I seen a Kansas team get demolished the way it did on the road last season. So I place all the blame on me. It was my fault. That's the only way I can explain it — I'm bad luck.
It's probably a good thing, then,
that you are in New York right
now, and I'm here in Lawrence.
The way I figure it, now that I'm
out of the picture, it's smooth
sailing for Kansas basketball.
But that won't prevent me from giving you a few tidbits of advice heading into this new season. And for what it's worth, if you lose tonight against UCLA or tomorrow against St. John's or Kentucky, the blame
Shawn Hutchinson

A. R. S.
Advice tidbit No. 3 — When you're facing UCLA tonight and you don't see JaRon Rush on the sideline for the Bruins, don't laugh too hard. Rush's story is a tragic one. He leaves UCLA early, declares for the NBA Draft, doesn't get drafted, then decides to play this season for Kansas City's new ABA franchise, the Knights.
is no longer on me. It falls on that guy wearing the Kansas jersey with the No. 44 on it.
Advice tidbit No. 1 — This should be the season Kansas re-establishes itself as a Big 12 Conference and national power. The Big 12 is relatively weak this season compared to last, and your non-conference schedule isn't as harsh as last season, either. I'm not really giving you any advice here. Just stating the obvious.
Advice tidbit No. 2—When you travel to Winston-Salem, N.C., next month to take on Wake Forest, avoid at all costs the IHOP directly across from the Lawrence-Joel Coliseum. I ate last March during the NCAA Tournament. To put things in perspective, that particular IHOP apparently is in such a bad neighborhood it uses a security guard as a hostess.
Well, what the heck. Laugh all you want. It is pretty funny. So, that's about all I have to write. To recap — I'm bad luck, blame that No. 44 guy if you lose, don't eat at IHOP, and laugh hysterically at Jakron. Oh, and finally, bring home a couple of wins.

'Hawks must beat 'Horns to keep bowl hopes alive
The Kansas football team has been here before, even if the details are a little fuzzy because it was a long time ago.
Along with the typical Senior Day memories, the Jayhawks who started their collegiate careers in 1997 might have visions of a game at Texas. It seemed like just the beginning then but has turned into so much more of a lost opportunity as the program has plateaued.
Kansas was 5-5 going into the Texas game, the final regular season contest. A win would have sent the Jayhawks to a bowl. But a 45-31 loss squelched those hopes.
Running back Ricky Williams, who would win the Heisman trophy as college football's best player in 1998, enjoyed a stellar game for a team that was already out of bowl contention after suffering a subpar year. Kansas coach Terry Allen recalled his team maintaining an early lead. Then Williams was done with his one-quarter suspension.
"I think he ran for 279 yards against us." Allen said. "I remember thinking, 'Wow, is that guy good.'"
Allen overestimated Williams' talent a little. Williams actually ran for 222 yards.
But the fact remains that since that game, Kansas has not come so close to reaching the post-season.
This is a second chance of sorts. If Kansas can win Saturday, then the last four years hinge on one game next Saturday at Iowa State.
"We figured that was just the start," said senior running back David Winbush. "We might be considered the team that was always this close.
There have been some games along the way that we probably should have won. But we can't look back now."
"If we're 5-5 at that point," Winbush said, "I feel like we have to get it done. We have to go up there and get a win. I'm not looking ahead though."
Allen said he was confident if Kansas can knock off No. 19 Texas, next week would be a success, too.
"I feel strongly that if we can get a victory here," Allen said. "Then we can get the victory next week."
Winbush, from Killeen, Texas,
remembered the Texas game,
too. That was the best game of
his freshman year. He rushed 11
times for 87 yards and a touchdown.
He thought it was just the
beginning for himself and the
seemingly fledgling program.
But 4-7 and 5-7 records the last
two years have brought
Winbush's career to this point
— another big game against Texas for a native Texan.
Winbush said he did not think as much about the loss then. The reaction was a shrug then. There were supposed to be plenty more chances to reach the post-season in the last three years. It has not been that way — until now.
He was hurt the Jayhawks have already let two games slip away against his home-state teams Southern Methodist and Texas Tech.
"We have a shot." Winbush said. "And that's all we can ask for."

One good beer deserves another
Kansan staffers search town for the best beer
The tasters:
Erin H. Barcomb — Started drinking party keg beer — Icehouse and Natty Light — but now I like dark, rich beers like Guinness and Boulevard Oatmeal Stout. My favorite beer is 75th Street Brewery Raspberry Wheat.
BriAnne Hess — I have always liked to experience the different nuances of beer — stout, amber, porter, wheat. Not big on the bitter taste of the pale ales (too much hops for me). Drink Miller Lite when I'm on a budget but venture into the ambers and other darker beers when the weather turns cold. Favorites: Shiner Bock and Molson Ice.
Amanda Kaschube — I'm a wussy drinker — I'll drink the occasional Corona with lime, Bud Light when it's dollar bottle night or Honey Brown. I know, I'm real tough. What can I say, I'm a girl. I prefer hard alcohol to beer normally; I'll take a vodka Seven, tequila sunrise or mudslide anyday. But, I sucked it up for the brewpub crawl and actually found a few beers that I wouldn't mind drinking on a regular basis. I took the wheats and pale ales, no dark stouts for me. So if you're an amateur, take my advice.
Emily Hughey — Mainly a wine drinker — reds more than whites. Whiskey and Coke are good, too. Beer is usually a back-up for when my pocketbook is light. However, I've been contemplating acquiring an appreciation of beer. I like light beers and un-beer types. When I drink beer, it's usually the generic "lights" — Bud and Coors lights and an occasional Corona.

Ad Astra Ale ●●○○
Appearance — A bit lighter than the other brews. It reminded me of a pair of earrings I once had. The taste was lighter too — like cotton that fluffs up as it goes down. Pleasant.
Aftertaste — Slightly bitter (Hughey).
Appearance — Amber, like the color of wood.
Taste — Smooth, with a hint of bitterness.
Wheat State Golden ○○○○
Aftertaste — Smoky and cleans the palate — a great follow to the artichoke dip (Hughev).
Appearance — Lightest out of all the beers on the table. A little yellow-orange.
Taste — Smooth going down right away, like the first beer you'd drink when you turn 21. Doesn't really hit you with any big zest, so would probably take awhile to kick in.
Aftertaste — Sweet, but not gaggy sweet. Still a little pungent. This beer would be a little intimidated freshman boy when compared to the lagers (Kaschube).
John Brown Ale
Appearance --- Reddish-orange, thirdlightest.
Taste — Really easy going down, good on a fall afternoon or while tailoring.
Aftertaste — Not too sweet, very yummy. I'm a wuss when it comes to semi-dark beers, but I liked it better than the Wheat State Golden. Appears thick, but tastes light. On the tall-dark-and-handsome scale, this beer is a boy with edge but refined clothes taste, such as Banana Republic (Kaschube). CornbermudPale Ale ****
CopperheadPale Ale ●●●○○
Appearance — Orange-ish yellow
Taste — Sweet, fruity. The body
would be mild and pungent.
Aftertaste — Bitter and fruity (Barcomb).
Owd Mac's Imperial
Appearance — Served in a snifter because of its high alcohol content (10 percent compared to the 5 to 6 percents of the other brews). Looks like brandy.
Taste — Like a sugary aperitif. Hints of aged grape and an aroma that slightly sings the nose (Hughey). Molasses-y and wintery (Barcomb).

Appearance -- Like cloudy iced tea. Taste -- Smooth and exotic; sweet, like honey (Barcomb).
Oatmeal Stout ●●●●●
Appearance — Dark — root beer brown. Reminds me of the first snowfall when you're sitting in front of a fire. Jesse Fitzpatrick, waiter, described it as tall, dark and handsome.
Taste — Smooth, earthy and mellow. Better with every drink. Basically a standard stout — very smooth and mild.
Aftertaste — Very little (Hess)
Ironman Imperial Stout ●●●●●
Appearance — It's a seasonal beer, darker and thicker than the Oatmeal. Was double-brewed.
Taste — Made with three different malts and four different hops. It's thicker and smoother than the Oatmeal and sweeter because of the additional malt. It's tall dark and handsome — but hurrier.
Aftertaste - Less hoppy (bitter) than the Oatmeal (Hess).

Taste — A lemonade stand for grownups. Barely a beer taste. It's a drink for people for those who, like me, beer is their second choice. Sweet. It tastes like FantaLimon with a little-less carbonation (Hughey).
Quantrill's Red ○○○○○
Taste — Clean taste, not too obtrusive or hony.
Aftertaste — It stays with you awhile, but it's not too bad. I couldn't chug it, but it works well if you're in a deep conversation where you drink every few minutes. Pace yourself (Kaschube).

Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
An older person is trying to talk you into taking on more responsibility. More money doesn't seem to be involved, so you're resisting. Don't settle for a deal that won't be good for you. Being nice is OK, but don't be a doormat.

Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.

Next week's question:
Runner proposes during marathon
But Terry O'Brien, of Moore, S.C., had something special on his mind other than completing the 26.2-mile road race through the streets of New York. He was hearing wedding bells.
NEW YORK — A little more than halfway through the New York City Marathon, a runner's thoughts can drift to all sorts of things, and lack of oxygen can make one a little giddy.
At mile 16, the 36-year-old O'Brien, pulled out a ring and dropped to one knee in front of Janelle Billingsly, 30. The pair had just celebrated their fourth year of dating.
"I was caught completely off guard," Billingsly told the Herald-Journal of Spartanburg, S.C.
Billingsly said O'Brien's sweaty, disheveled appearance didn't sway her answer.
"I said yes," she said. "I most definitely said yes."
"We wouldn't kid about that," said
And before she knew it, her betrothed was off and running again. There still were 10 more miles to be run.
Despite the breather, O'Brien finished the marathon in 3 hours, 55 minutes.
Liar's Hall of Fame relocates — really
DANNEBROG, Neb. — Now this is the truth: The National Lairs' Hall of Fame has moved.
Gaylord Mickelson, host of the hall's new home, to be christened Nov. 12.
The hall of fame was founded in 1986 by humorist, author and former CBS Sunday Morning regular Roger Welsch. It had been located in the corner of the Big Table Tavern in this central Nebraska community of about 320.
But new tavern owners have development plans that don't include the hall's 50 items, Mickelsen said. So, at Welsch's request, the fibbers "paraphernalia" — including a two-way hammer, stink bait, cowboy bubble bath and books on tail tales — have been moved to the Lille Mermaid gift shop that Mickelsen and his wife own.
Soap in bathrooms cause for celebration
After an eight-year battle, the College of the Holy Cross has decided to install soap dispensers in 61 common bathrooms in residence halls on campus. Students will no longer have to bring their own soap to the bathrooms.
WORCESTER, Mass. — College students were in a lather because they couldn't have soap. Now their bubble troubles are gone: The suds are back.
College representative Katherine B. McNamara said the maintenance staff was afraid vandals would use the soap to jeopardize the student safety, possibly lubricating the floors. Cost also was a factor.
"They are saying it's being done in spite of what students tried to do, not because of it," said Kevin P. Long, a junior who is co-chairman of the Student
Government Association. "They can dress it up however they want. As long as there's soap in the bathrooms, that's cool."
Passing test equals trip to Dick's Drive-In
SEATTLE — The signs said it all: "I passed the WASL, and I'm going to Dick's!"
With that, nearly all of the 68 Nathan Hale High School juniors who last spring passed the four sections of the Washington Assessment of Student Learning paraded from the school to a Dick's Drive-In.
The high schoolers were rewarded with burgers for their standardized test scores.
Escorting them on the one-mile walk Wednesday was the school band, six police officers on motorcycles and two on horses.
The tests, designed to measure proficiency in mathematics, reading, writing and listening, are administered annually to fourth-, seventh- and 10th-graders. Starting with the class of 2008, students will have to pass all four parts of the 10th-grade exams to graduate.
Restaurant drops Flinstones attire
CANASTOTA, N.Y. — Yabba-dabbadon't, say lawyers for Warner Brothers, who threatened legal action against a restaurant unless it stopped advertising with imagery from The
Oddities
Flintstones.
Deano's Blues and BBQs has decided to stave off a copyright lawsuit by dumping its dinosaur logo, which looked a little too much like the Flintstones' cartoon pet. Dino.
After a competitor sent pictures of Deano's logo to Warner, the entertainment giant threatened to sue unless the design was dropped. Deano's unveiled a replacement logo featuring a caveman, said co-owner Colleen Cooper.
Cooper said a Warner lawyer told her she could keep generic prehistoric themes, just drop the references to The Flintstones. That also meant employees had to stop wearing a Dino costume every time children came into the restaurant.
Robbers scared off by startled customer
CANTON, Ohio — A woman spewed a cuss word and scared two masked men at a bank out of their apparent holdup plans, the FBI said.
Agents think the men fled when they heard the surprised customer outside the United Bank on Thursday, said Mitchell Marrone, who heads the FBI office in Canton.
The woman was about to enter the lobby of the bank when she noticed two men across the parking lot wearing stocking-cap masks. Although she saw no weapon, she alerted bank employees, who called police.
FBI agents and city police could not find the would-be robbers.

Bluegrass band picks its way to town
By Brad Weiner Special to the Kansan
I'll just use the text as it is.
Bluegrass music is back.
Yender Mountain String Band, a Colorado-based group, will perform for the first time in Kansas tonight at The Jazzhaus. The band is recognized for its ubeart acoustic sounds. Contributed art
Bluegrass music is back.
Anyone wanting to dispute that should take it up with Yonder Mountain String Band, which will amble into Lawrence tonight armed with acoustic instruments and the virtuosity to get skeptics on their feet.
Yonder Mountain formed in Nederland, Colo., two years ago.
The quartet takes the stage at 10 p.m. at The Jazzhaus, 928 1/2
Missoula hosts. Tickets are $4
Tonight will be its first performance in Kansas.
If accumulated a fan base that catapulted ly from small Colorado gigs to Colorado festival slots at High Sierra, Berkfest and the Telluride Bluegrass Festival.
The band's drive-without-drums theory plays exactly how it sounds.
With all acoustic instruments and little amplification, the band is known for getting audiences dancing to the usually subdued sound of traditional bluegrass.
The band consists of Jeff Austin, mandolin; Ben Kaufman, bass; Adam Aijala, guitar; and Dave Johnston on banio.
Although there are only four official members, they often pick with the finest bluegrass musicians in the country. Pete
Wernick, Leftover Salmon,
Mike Marshall and most
recently, mandolin virtuoso
David "Dawg" Grisman.
Vonder Mountain released one CD, *Elevation*, a collection of 15 tracks brimming with fanatic banjo breakdowns (such as the hilarious "Mental Breakdown"), beautiful ballads about defunct relationships and the standard western motifs of sheriffs, outlaws and running from the law.
According to a review by Tom Reid, "this acoustic quartet has made a scientific breakthrough by proving that wood does indeed conduct electricity."
Although the band has a solid repertoire of originals, it shuffles some covers into the deck from eclectic acts such as Ozzy Osborne, Pink Floyd, Peter Tosh and the Grateful Dead.
Yonder Mountain String Band also plays from a large
vocabulary of standard bluegrass songs, which will please the palettes of people who love pickin'.
Yonder Mountain has effectively mastered the acoustic Appalachian sound and drenched it with the clean, cold snow of the Rockies making a hybrid so contagious and beautiful it will keep listeners smiling for weeks.

Oscar-winning guitarist grooves at the Granada
By Katie Nelson
Special to the Kansan
a goofy wave, a shrug of his narrow shoulders, and he's gone.
Was that really Elliott Smith on stage with the greasy, stringy hair and scraggly beard? The guy who finally gained some well-deserved recognition after being featured on the Good Will Hunting soundtrack, but now shuns the tracks as if it was the plague? Yep. It was him all right.
Saturday night, Elliott Smith played to a sold-out crowd at the Granada. Grandaddy, a California-based band opened. Touring for his fifth solo album, Figure 8, Smith is now taking part in a month-long,
cross-country tour. The night before, he played Chicago, the following night, Denver.
Smith is a Portland-based indie-rocker whom many remember as the white tuxedo-clad musician at the Oscars in March 1998. He performed "Miss Misery" from the Good Will Hunting soundtrack that night after he was nominated for the Oscar for original song. At the Granada, Smith opened with a shocker version of "Needle in the Hay." The studio version is a quiet piece from his self-titled album, but Saturday night it turned raw with the help of Smith's touring band.
"His current touring band is really tight," said Brendan Bourke, of Girlie Action
Review
Media Smith's publicist.
This was evident in the execution of its music. It had a rigid, more rocked-out sound than Smith's solo albums, but it worked.
whereas most bands make records and then make unplugged versions of their work. Smith is doing just the opposite. The show had a much harsher sound, with Smith using an electric guitar instead of the acoustic fans of his older work have grown accustomed to.
Smith played most of his new album as well as multiple tunes from XO and Either/Or. "Division Day," a song from Figure 8 was especially good.
Gone was the mellow, almost mournful sound of his first albums, Roman Candle, Elliott Smith and Either/Or. His show
He was soft spoken and didn't have much stage presence, but the intensity of the music and his discerning smile readily made up for that.
Saturday night and his newer albums showed a newer, brasher side of his music.
During his first encore, he slipped on an acoustic guitar and strummed out several tunes. It was a looser, kinder sound. The group closed the second encore with a cover of Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper."

Electrasy — In Here We Fall
Produced by Matthew Wilder, who was partially responsible for the creation of No Doubt's breakthrough album Tragic Kingdom, In Here We Fall progresses with a different feel for each song.
The opening track, "Renegades," begins with a sharply regulated dance beat, then slowly coalesces into an explosive piece of pop melody and expression.
Electrasy is a band of many musical faces. On its U.S. debut album, In Here We Fall, the lines of strong guitar driven rock, pulsing dance music and hio-hop into a sense of musical dynamism.

"Morning Afterglow," then glands incendiary intensity in the trip-hip tugworm "Foot Soldierz" a few tracks later.
The lyrics penned by Nisbet provide a window to an emotional gamut, ranging from the gidi

U2 — All That You Can't Leave Behind
Patrick Cady
The conscience of '80s rock resurfaced last week with the release of U2's newest CD, All That You Can't Leave Behind.
The omnipresent frontman, Bono, weaves his musings of his midlife crisis and social activism with the post-modern electronic synthesis found in Achtune Baby and Zoopora.
The question is: Does anyone care?
"I'm just trying to find a decent melody — a song that I can sing in my own company," crooned Bono in "Stuck in a Moment."
U2 sees perplexed and lost in the Inspiral bath of pop music spawned by Disney's Mickey
A. L. R. A. O. W. S. B. H. G. M. T. U. P. E. N. D. F. G. H. J. K. L. M. N. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.
Bono, guitarist for the Edge, and uber-producer, Brian Eno generate some leads in their first release "Elevator."
Edge, and uber-producer,
Brian Eno generate some terrific, upbeat ballads in their first releases "Beautiful Day," and "Elevator."
U2 may lose younger listeners with its some what preachy tone found in the middle of songs such as the bizarre, "Wild Honey," which brings to mind '70s harmony-driven groups such as
the Mamas and the Papas. They are refreshing, but dangerously close to being outdated and cliched.
the 11-song CD should have ended with the killer 10th track, "New York." Bono's spin on the song popularized by Frank Sinatra. America's favorite Irish-born rock star accurately updates the essence of what the Big Apple is today, while wondering if that's where he lost his fans. MTV's show, Total Request Live, and its host, Carson Daly, have helped propel Britney, Christina and the boy bands to millions of dollars in sales, while being totally devoid of serious content.
It's ironic because the transformed Times Square, which is the show's backdrop, was largely restored by the very company that spawned pop music's heatens, Disney.
Old U2 fans and the uninitiated Gen Yers can't go wrong with picking up All That You Can Behind.

Oh. Canada. Land of the 50 percent income tax and universal healthcare.
It could also be the home of a lot of American democrats soon, if the free for All is any indication. It seems like no matter what party you're a part of, you're threatening to leave the country if the other guy wins. So I did a little research to help people with their travel plans.
For those who don't like the selections I've made below, check out the CIA world fact-
book (www.odci.gov/cia/publications/factbook) for other options. It has everything from Andorra to Antartica.
The Canadian Web site, www.canada.gc.ca, is comprehensive, a model for the sort of site President Clinton proposed this summer. It's basically a clearinghouse for anything and everything anyone could want to know about Canada, like the liberals are very firmly in control. Gore wouldn't have a problem getting elected there.
For Bush fans, there aren't a lot of good options if Gore wins Florida. The U.S. is quite conservative compared to European nations. But Japan (the Prime Minister's site) is www.sorifu.go.jp) is known for the strong work ethic and respect for big business of its people. Japan's government has traditionally worked very closely with industry to build up the economy.
One can almost hear the kol swimming in their fountains.
Besides, how much more bourgeoisie can you get than a country with a Bureau of Decorations? It shows — its site is very pretty.
Nader's brigades fell a little short of the five-percent mark in the election and failed to earn federal-matching funds. If the electoral college falls in the United States, the Greens will be a much more viable contestant.
Until then, could I suggest Germany (www.bundesregierung.de)? Their electoral system leaves a lot more room for third parties; in fact, the Greens control 6.7 percent of their equivalent of the House. The site has plenty of information in English, and the menu system looks incredible and is easy to use.
For Buchanan voters, I thought of a country where separation of church and state is not a problem, and where the media is not allowed to pollute the minds of children — scenic Algerian While I couldn't find an official government Web site, I was able to find the site of their statistics department, www.ons.dz. It's got info in Arabic, if you're so inclined.
Of course, you could go to Siberia, but for the sake of fairness and getting everyone really far apart. I found a place in South America. Of course, there is always Antartica...
Finally, for Libertarians, I suggest Paraguay (presidencia.gov.py). Why? Well, the population is a meager 13 per square kilometer, and much of that is concentrated in Asunción, the capital city. In other words, it wouldn't be hard to get out where nobody would interfere with or even care about what you do.
Finally, just in case you're waffling, you might want to take a look at www.whitehouse.gov and reassure your faith in the red, white and blue. I mean, how much can one man do to ruin an entire country?
Guess we'll find out soon, but first we need to know who'll be doing the ruining. Keep watching the Kansan and kansan.com, and we'll let you know as soon as we can. Hopkins is a Gresham, Ore., senior in journalism.

Resting muscles important when weight training
Fitness Columnist Daivd Pilgram
jayplay@kansan.com
Plateau is the topic of discussion for this week's issue. For those of you who don't know what that is, just ask more-seasoned weightlifters, and they will tell you.
If you go to the gym for several weeks and see no improvement in weight or size, you might be reaching a plateau or a halt in gains. This is because you aren't allowing your body to rest enough and your muscles to rebuild.
Another reason may be the lack of variation in your routine, which limits muscles' response to exercise. Lee Priest, a fitness professional who appears in most major fitness magazines, has one sure-fire fix to this problem
A temporary routine change can shock your system into a response. Don't worry about overtraining, you will have a week for each muscle group to repair itself. The six-day training cycle consists of: day one, legs; day two, back; day three, chest; day four, shoulders; day five, arms; and day six, rest.
Day six is considered a workout day, even though you don't go to the gym, because rest is as important as exercise.
This routine can be highly effective if you use these days to isolate each muscle group, but you may want to cut your gym time down to 30 minutes instead of a full hour because of the intensity of the workouts.
Doing this routine for a couple of weeks may help you realize the importance of concentrating on each muscle. Try it out and see what you think.
Write me and let me know if it helps you out.
Try to learn a variety of lifts for each muscle group to add some variety to your workout — it will help get you excited about going to the gym.

Family finds joy in caring for local pets
By Fay Brody
Special to the Kansan
"I always call them my babies," said Margaret Middleton, owner of Morning Star Pet Care Center.
Her family run business has been part of the Lawrence community for 17 years. Morning Star provides kennel services, dog training and tender-loving care for each animal.
"Our goal is to board animals that belong to people of our community and give them peace of mind while on vacation." Middleton sald.
Owning a pet-care center can entail around-the-clock work. The animals must be fed, given medicine if necessary, walked, cleaned and watered.
The owners also must change the cats' litter boxes as the phones ring all day long. Middleton also does paperwork, pays bills and greets the new animals.
Margaret and her husband came to Lawrence from Chicago in 1983 with thier son, Jim, and daughter, Maryann, and have never considered going back.
"We've always loved animals, and my children have grown up with dogs," she said.
Jim came first and worked with the previous owners. The USDA and veterinarians have helped the family successfully run the company and care for the animals for the past 17 years.
Middleton said she had rewarding experiences every day. A boxer boarding at the center recently had puppies, and the Middletons were there to witness the births.
"It is very rewarding to go to the kennel each day." she said.
Customers are important to Middleton. She works to accommodate the wishes of the pet owners, often providing special food for animals or being responsible for medicine.
"I work with customers varying from college students to senior citizens," she said.
lege-age students to senior citizens," she said. Middleton now is preparing for one of the busiest seasons of the year. With Thanksgiving and Christmas approaching, the 100 available spaces at the kennel usually are full by the second week in December, she said.

"Hollar" has already reached No.1 in Britain, where the Spice Girls remain popular.
Virgin records has shipped 500,000 advance copies of the album to stores — a modest figure for a group with record sales of 38 million copies worldwide.
Since then, Ginger Spice, aka Geri Halliwell, left the group in 1998. The remaining four took a break while Victoria Beckham (Posh Spice) and Melanie B (Scary Spice) got married and had children (Melanie B is getting a divorce). They also pursued solo projects.
Spice Girls take shot at reclaiming fan base
Associated Press
The Spice Girls burst onto the American pop scene in late 1996 with the bouncy dance hit, "Wannabe." Although dismissed by some critics as forgettable, their album, *Spice*, went on to sell millions of copies. So did their next album, *Spice World*.
NEW YORK — How long does it take before Spices get stale?
"They can't stay making records for little kids all of their lives," Jerkins said of the women, all in their mid-20s. "That's what Britney and 'N Sync and Christina (Agulilera) are there for now. The Spice Girls have to keep reinventing themselves and taking themselves to a different level."
The new album's first single, "Holler," has a midtempo groove that could appeal to both adult contemporary and pop radio outlets.
The U.S. recording industry will find out this week when the Spice Girls return with their third album, Forever. One of the best-selling pop acts in the world just two years ago, the group's profile has waned since it went on hiatus.
"People move on to something new very fast," said producer Rodney Jerkins, who worked on six tracks of the new album. "You can't leave your fans hanging for too long, because they will find something new to grab on to."
In response to the changing landscape, the Spice Girls have tried to redefine themselves. They've stopped using their Spice nicknames, toned down their outlandish clothes and attempted to gain credibility by working with superproducers.
For many of the Spice Girls' core fan base — preteen girls — that something has been teen idols such as Brittany Spears and 'N Sync.

The lovable "Billy Elliot," about an 11-year-old dancer, launches the film careers of the amazing young actor Jamie Bell and celebrated stage director Stephen Daldry. Already a smash in Britain, it may be the biggest sleeper since "The Full Monty."
Billy Elliot is an 11-year-old English coal miner's son with an unexpected gift, and passion, for ballet. It's a name you will remember, and not just because the movie "Billy Elliot" bears his moniker. As played by a wonderful 13-year-old newcomer named Jamie Bell, he may be the most endearing prepubescent hero since the disarming Swedish waif in "My Life as a Dog" 15 years ago. And this delightful film, with its surprising depth charges of emotion, has the feel of a movie that's going to lodge itself in the public's affections for a long time to come.
FALL'S MUST-SEE FILM!
To say that "Billy Elliot" is a crowd pleaser is a no-brainer, but it doesn't do the movie justice,
and it doesn't convey just how passionately audiences take this small English film to heart. In Britain, where it was No.1 its opening weekend, it surpassed the opening numbers for "Four Weddings and a Funeral" and almost equaled those for "The Full Monty"-the two most successful British films to date. The London critics have been raving, and even the hippest moviegoers have been spotted dabbing their eyes with hankies as they emerge from Billy's excellent adventure.-A movie so artfully made, so deeply charming, so heartfelt, it's not only pointless to resist, it's damn near impossible. -David Ansen

Tomorrow:
"City Mysteries of the Gilded Age" lecture by Alan Trachtenberg. 7 p.m. at Spencer Museum of Art auditorium. Free.
Adam Sandler showed a goofy, endearing charm in *The Wedding Singer* and had some funny moments in *Billy Madison*. But watching his new movie, *Little Nicky*, is like spending 84 minutes in hell, and not just because it's set in the underworld.

Matthew Hemenway, master's recital, 7:30 p.m. at Swartwout Recital Hall, Murphy Hall.
Sandler's Nicky goes up in flames
But Sandler has amassed an enormous cast of stars for a nonstop stream of cameos, including fellow Saturday Night Live alums Dana Carvey, Jon Lovitz and Kevin Nealon.
As Nicky, the son of Satan (Harvey Keitel), Sandler is just creepy, all twisted and hunched with a forced speech impediment that sounds like a bad James Carmey impression.
The Associated Press
Here's the plot: Satan sends Nicky to New York City to fetch his two brothers, Adrian (Rhs fans of Notting

Saturday:
Tonight:
*Hill* and Cassius (Tom "Tiny" Lister), who are out spreading evil.
Nicky is a little slow, but he gets help from Beefy, a talking bulldog (voiced by Robert Smigel). Beefy guides Nicky through the mean streets of New York, helps him find an apartment and introduces him to the wonders of fast-food chicken. (A warning to parents: Don't let the cute, talking dog fool you. This is not a movie for kids. Beefy likes to curse, toss back shots at strip clubs and accost poodles on the sidewalk).
Book signing with Dave Lingo, author of *Earth Vote.* 1 to 3 p.m. at Borders Bookstore.
The film, directed by Steven Brill (who wrote the three *Mighty Ducks* movies), has no real structure. It staggers from one scene to the next, simply to showcase big-name stars overacting in bizarre scenarios. After only an hour, the movie feels too long.
Then, after all the crass, vulgar humor, there's almost a religious battle

between good and evil as Nicky (now a good person) fights his evil brothers for control of the souls of the people on earth. This feels totally out of place.

Sunday:
Reese Witerspoon provides one of the film's few bright spots as a bubbly angel who giggles with her girlfriends and watches Nicky from heaven. But Patricia Arquette is seriously miscast as an awkward design student, and her meek character gets lost in the sea of over-the-top performances.

The talking bulldog alone would probably draw throngs of people to the multiplexes. But a talking buldog engaging in naughty activities in an Adam Sandler movie about the devil should mean big box-office dollars, despite what any evil critics may say.

Behind the Brew
Local brewers provide insight about their favorite pints
By BriAnne Hess
Jayplay editor
The head brewers at the three Lawrence breweries are the masterminds behind what comes out of the tap.
Steve Bradt, brewer at Free State Brewing Co., 636 Massachusetts St., has spent his entire 12-year brewing career at Free State.
"I kind of lucked into it," he said. "I started as a bartender when we opened here, and soon, I was working as an assistant brewer."
Since then, Bradt has taken courses in browing science at the Siebel
bre science at the Siebe Institute in Chicago, and he said he generally came up with Free State's recipes and beer ideas. He said his favorite Free State beer on tap was the Copperhead Pale Ale.
"I'm kind of a hophead," Bradt said. "I like hoppy beers, and I like the balance of hops in the beer."
His favorite specialty brew is the Barleywine — a strong beer that is aged a
long time.
"We have some still in storage that
from malted grains — typically malted barley. The sweet liquid, called wort, is boiled with hops to balance its sweetness and add different flavors and aromas to the beer. After the wt sugars are boiled, they are fermented by the yeast. The byproduct of fermentation produces carbon dioxide, creating carbonation and alcohol. For ales, it takes two weeks before the beer is ready to pour at the bar.
"We have some still in storage that dates back to 1997," he said. "We brew some every year, and it changes a lot over time. It's a very complex beer — a contemplative drink."
The brewing process entails extracting a sweet liquid
oel
Bradt's Ironman Imperial Stout, an ale, takes longer because it's a stronger beer. Lagers take about a month from start to finish, he said.
"We have an Owd Mac's imperial that is double-aged because it goes through an additional aging process in an old whisky barrel," he said.
One of the brewing containers sits in the bar area at the Brown Bear Brewing Co., 729 Massachusetts St. The rest of the brewery is housed downstairs. Photo by Brad
in addition to Free State, other options for micro-brewed beer have popped up in Lawrence.
Bradt said the brewing equipment at Free State was worth between a quarter- and a half-million dollars.
Ian Adams has been the brewer at Brown Bear Brewing Co., 729 Massachusetts St., for two-and-a-half years. He said he started as a waiter at another brewery and fell in love with beer there.
"I annoyed the brewers enough that they started teaching me how to do it," he said.
Adams writes the Brown Bear beer
sessions and researches them
"I start working with the formulas — weight and the hops and the water chemistry," Adams said. "It's a fun little process." Adams said it took him about
dams said it took him about three months to write a recipe because he tried to find detailed information about the type of beer he's going to brew. He there was a series of books he used in which each volume focused on a specific beer.
Brewing normally takes eight to nine hours. Then, the beer ferments for two to three days and conditions for two weeks in an icehouse before it's put on tap. Specialty brews can condition for longer — Adams said the Russian Imperial Stout was in Brown Bear's icehouse for nine months.
Adams said his favorite standard brew was Josiah Miller's IPA.
"I love hops," he said. "I like the flavor, and it goes well with Mexican food."
His favorite seasonal beer also is a hop-filled brew, the American Pale Ale, he said.
mud weed, the American Pale Ale, he said. "I have a feeling it might be popping around quite a bit," he said. "We're having a lot of沸腾 on it."
The original brewer at Sports Page Brewery, 3512 Clinton Parkway, has returned and is in the process of brewing more beer.
Four home-brewed beers are available at Sports Page, including the recently added Honey Wheat, said Bill Salem, day manager. Crimson, an amber brew, will be ready next week.

Confusion surrounds vote-recount debacle
By Leita Schultes
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Americans still do not know who their next president will be, but for some students at the University of Kansas, the election is a thing of the past.
Robin Sullivan, Kansas City, Kan., senior and College Republicans member, said she had lost interest in the 24-hour coverage of Florida's results.
Sullivan said the election had been so drawn out and the candidates were so similar that the winner of the presidency was of only minor significance.
But for Florida vote counters, the race was tight and serious.
George W. Bush's lead against AI Gore shrank to fewer than 300 votes yesterday by unofficial count, along with allegations of irregularities swirling and ballots from overseas residents still to be counted.
Recount results from 66 of the state's 67 counties gave Republican Bush a lead of 229 votes out of nearly 6 million cast, according to an unofficial tally by The Associated Press. The original "final" margin had been reported at 1,784.
The official recount lagged behind, and Secretary of State Katherine Harris told an early evening news conference that it could be as late as next Tuesday before the state had certified ballot results from 61 counties. She also pointed out that it would take even longer — at
least until Nov. 17 — to tabulate ballots cast by Floridians overseas and postmarked by Election Day.
The Gore campaign has criticized the ballots used in Palm Beach County as confusing, and has asked for a hand count of votes cast there and in three other counties. Palm Beach County agreed to hand-count ballots in three precincts tomorrow.
There also is a legal challenge pending in state court with the support of Democrats who say a poor ballot design in Palm Beach County led some Gore supporters to inadvertently mark their ballots for Pat Buchanan.
But Aaron Profitt, Overland Park senior, said ballots were typically confusing, and it was the voter's responsibility to read and understand them.
"I'm not all up at arms about potential misvoting." he said.

Harris said that thus far 53 of Florida's 67 counties had forwarded recount materials to the state.
Peter Gogol, Cranston, R.I., freshman and a member of Young Democrats, said Gore picked up a couple of thousand votes during the recount and said he hoped this election would cause people to question the system and hold vote counters more accountable.
In addition to the partial recount-by-hand in Palm Beach County, the board in Broward County arranged a meeting for today to discuss the Gore campaign's request for a manual recount there.

Protesters question election

For the first time in more than a century, the presidency could go to the candidate who didn't win the popular vote, leaving some University of Kansas students questioning the electoral process.
Protesters gathered outside Watson Library last night to draw awareness to what they call a suspicious form of voting. The electoral college, rather than popular vote, ultimately will decide whether George W. Bush or Al Gore will become the next president.
Kiran Jayaram, Kansas City, Mo., graduate student, organized the protest. Jayaram has questioned the electoral college process for years.
"The people should decide, not the process," he said to a small crowd last night.
Jayaram said the protest was not about parti-sanship, but about his objections to an outdated process.
The electoral college consists of representatives from each state who vote on behalf of the citizens of that state. The number of electors from each state is equal to the number of state representatives and senators from that state.
The final decision in the presidential election rests with Florida. Whoever wins the state's 25 electoral votes will surpass the crucial 270-vote mark needed to win the race.
Jayaram told fellow protesters that the slogan, "One person, one vote," did not seem to apply to this year's election.

"Approximately 19,000 votes were thrown out in Florida," he said. "If one person has one vote, then who says we no longer count?"

so close and that the process needed to be over.
Jeremy Gander, Osatwatomie senior and protester, said he thought the electoral college should split votes within states so it represented the people and so a candidate didn't take all.
Jayaram said the electoral college had gained more attention this year because the election was so close and that the process needed to be revised

The freshman experience II
Editor's note: During Hawk Week, the Kansan asked a group of new students to start recording their experiences and thoughts about their new lives at the University of Kansas.
The Kansan wanted to see the University through the eyes of students from different backgrounds and to gauge their initial reactions to the University and the people here as the students experienced the transition that comes with life at the University.
The Kansan, first ran excerpts of the journal entries of five freshmen Sept. 27, just after their first month at University. What follows is the second installment of excerpts, which include the students' reflections on their first experiences with college midterms.
Today was the first time I thought of my Aunt Joyce since the funeral. I still miss her, so I wonder how Dad is coping. Death seems so surreal, like the person went on a trip and will be back later but never gets here ... My ENG 102 teacher lost his father. I know I would crack. To lose your parent, you lose that source of advice and counsel ...

I still don't have a clue what I want to do with my life. But college is really changing some of my views of life, and I have faith that God is shaping me for the future ...

New ventilation system sought to ensure animal safety
By Meghan Bainum
Kansan staff writer
The KU Animal Care Unit is requesting a new $1 million ventilation system to ensure the safety of animals used in its experiments.
The system, known as a HVAC (heating, ventilation and air conditioning unit), is responsible for the temperature and humidity regulation and the fresh-air flow in the ACU.
Jim Long, assistant provost for planning and facilities operation, said the HVAC system had been in place for 20 to 25 years and needed to be replaced.
In a letter to Long, Jim Bresnahan, director of the ACU, said failure of the HVAC system in the ACU was possible and could pose a threat to animal life and scientific data. Bresnahan declined to comment.
Steve Benedict, associate professor of molecular bioscience and chairman of KU's Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee, said the animals would be
taken somewhere else if a HVAC failure occurred.
Benedict said the possible problems with the HVAC system were not surprising to those in the Animal Care Unit. System problems had been patched by facilities operations personnel as they were found by a faculty committee designated to ensure the ACU runs properly.
In the letter, Bresnan said he hired a professional consultant to look at the system who found several problems, including obsolete and worn-down system parts.
But Benedict said a HVAC failure was not imminent.
“It’s not like this thing is going to fall out of the ceiling tomorrow.” Benedict said. “Five years from now, it’ll be a huge deal if we don’t do something.”
Bresnahan stated the consultant said that it no longer was cost effective to patch the system and that a new system was needed.
Long said the HVAC replacement request was on a list of repair and rehabilitation projects the University was considering to finance. The request would go before an
Benedict said funding for the project could come from a University fund where serious projects were prioritized, and the plan was to complete the project within three years.
annual committee to decide how much would be financed if needed.
Benedict said he was happy with how the situation was being handled by the University.
"This is perhaps the most caring institution about animals that I've been associated with," Benedict said.

A story in yesterday's Kansan — "University sees a drop in tenured female faculty for last year" — contained misinformation. The headline and opening paragraph implied that the number of tenured female faculty has dropped in the past. Though the number of tenured female faculty dropped by one between 1998 and 1999, the number has increased steadily during the past decade. However, the percentage of tenured female faculty actually has decreased gradually compared with the overall number of female faculty.
Furthermore, while there may be a handful of associate professors who do not have tenure, for the most part, associate professors are tenured.
Also, Kim Roddis, professor of civil engineering, became the first woman to be named a full professor in the school of engineering when she was promoted in August.

Grant for Med Center benefits area hospitals
The University of Kansas Medical Center received a $54,200 grant to help test hearing in infants.
The grant came from the L.W. and Dolpha Baehr Foundation and will help purchase equipment to test children younger than 6 years old. Other Kansas City hospitals, as well as the Med Center, also will use the new equipment. The new equipment will test brain stems and internal ear responses to sound. John Scarffe, director of communications at the KU Endowment Center said the grant would benefit the University and people in the Kansas City area.
"The grant will enhance the ability for the University of Kansas to treat hearing problems, especially those in infants," Scarfe said.

Drivers in fatal accident both plead no contest
Billy Breedio, 43, of Kansas City, Mc., pleaded no contest Wednesday to vehicular homicide in the death of University of Kansas student Laura Leiffwich.
Sentencing is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 1.
Sentencing is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 1 in Leawood County court.
Alex Wolfson, Omaha, Neb., sophmore, already had pleaded no contest to the same charge on Oct. 27. Sentencing in his case is scheduled for Friday, Dec. 8.
An Aug. 12 altercation between Breedlove and Wolfson, which occurred seven miles east of Lawrence on Interstate 70, led to an accident involving Wolfson's car and a semi truck. Leffwich, Skokie, Ill., sophomore, was a passenger in Wolfson's car and died the following day from injuries sustained in the accident.
Vehicular homicide is a misdemeanor that carries a maximum sentence of up to one year in jail and $2,500 in fines.
Frank Kohl, Leavenworth County prosecutor, said a no contest plea meant that the defendant did not dispute the charge but also did not admit guilt. A guilty plea could be used against the defendants in a civil trial.
Prosecutors dropped charges against Breedlove for leaving the scene of an injury accident and following too closely.

Elementary students get head start with voting
Not everyone who filled out a ballot in Tuesday's election was 18 or older.
KU students helped elementary students practice voting in an area program that allowed children to cast votes at some polls around Lawrence. The goal is to get children in the habit of voting so they will continue to vote when they turn 18.
"We are trying to get kids excited to vote," said Michelle Black, co-director of the Center for Community Outreach, who served on the committee for the program.
Gretchen Gray, Kansas City, Kan., junior, volunteered to help children vote at the rolls at Allen Fieldhouse.
"Kids come to the polls just like their parents," Gray said. "Now they get to fill out a ballot while their parents are filling out theirs. We help them get started, then they fill out the ballot on their own."
"There has always been a good turnout," she said. "There were 5,000 participants in the 1996 election."
Black said that Lawrence started the program in 1992 and that it had seen a lot of youth participants.
Black said the number of child voters and their election results were not available yet, but the turnout was high.

Palestinian gunman killed by Israeli army
BEIT SAHOUR, West Bank — Israel helicopters swooped down on a pickup truck yesterday and fired rockets at a Palestinian gunman the army had been tracking for days, an attack Israel said signals a new policy targeting organizers of recent violence.
The killing of Hussein Abayat, described by Israel as the "terrorist mastermind" responsible for the deaths of three of its soldiers, came on the day President Clinton launched his latest attempt to salvage the peace process, meeting with Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat in Washington.
Despite Prime Minister Ehud Barak's earlier pledges not to take pre-emptive actions — a policy he had said would destroy prospects for a return to the negotiating table — the move was a concession to army chiefs who have been eager to strike the Palestinians with greater force.

Property rights policy approved
University Council yesterday approved a new intellectual property rights policy for the University, which has added provisions to protect the rights of faculty members who publish their research online and who invent new online teaching tools.
By Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Jason Krall writer@kansan.com
The policy allows the University to use tools such as video conferencing and streaming media programs to work with students online, without paying royalties to KU faculty members who develop them.
Much like under the previous intellectual property policy, the University can claim partial ownership of some copyrighted faculty work if state funds or other KU resources are used to develop the work.
Edward Meyen, professor of special education and member of the council, said students and faculty had the same rights to profit from their own material as they did under the previous
policy, but the new policy outlines rights to technology-based copyrighted and patented materials.
"With instructors developing online courses, we needed a new policy to protect the institution and the creators." Meyen said.
Alan Black, professor of architecture, said the University's right to student work allowed the work of architecture students to be used in exhibitions, displays and for accreditations for the School of Architecture.
"What's horrible for a scholar is those godawful prices we pay for journals, and this is an attempt to break that up," Shulenburger said. He also addressed the issue at Faculty Convocation earlier this year.
Several provisions guarantee the University's right to nonprofit use of manuscripts, articles in journals and artistic works of faculty members. Provost David Shulenburger said the policy should prevent faculty from having to pay publishers to use their own published work in class.

Senate tries reaching out to students
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Students will be able to put faces to their senators' names Monday and Tuesday, when Student Senate sponsors an outreach drive.
Senators will answer questions and hear student input at a table in the Kansas Union lobby from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m each day, said Kim Fuchs, Senate Executive Committee chairwoman.
Fuchs said applications for replacement senator seats also would be available at the table. She said there were at least four vacant seats that needed to be filled.
"It's still important for us to touch base with the people that we represent," Fuchs said. "Just because it isn't the beginning or end of the year, we want to let our constituents know that we are out there."
J. D. Jenkins, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and member of Senate's outreach board, said Senate had improved its efforts to reach out to students. He said those efforts included Senate's outreach week at the beginning of the semester, informing students about last week's city planning commission meeting that addressed a proposed housing ordinance change, as well as an upcoming newsletter.
"There's been a lot more outreach than in years past, but we've still got a long ways to go." Jenkins said. Jenkins said the newsletter, which should be distributed in December, would include updates of projects and programs that Senate executive staff, Student Legislative Awareness Board and the Center for Community Outreach were working on.
"I think it's important to try to do outreach because a lot of times, around election time, we hear students saying Student Senate never comes out of their office in the Union except at elections," Jenkins said. "We're trying to be more visible so students know we are out there. Come talk to us. Give us a suggestion. We're just trying to make ourselves more accessible."
Fuchs said reaching out to constituents was important because students often did not come to senators with concerns or questions.
we want to be out there and available to talk about the issues, especially things like how students want to spend the reserve account," Fuchs said. Jenkins he hoped students would talk to senators next week.
"I hope people passing by see the table and come up and give us suggestions, tell us what we're doing that they like or don't like," he said. "We also want to get the word out better about how Senate works. There's still a lot of people who don't know what we do."

I've been making decent grades here, but I haven't fully applied myself to my studies. I seem to be so carefree with things. Being late to class isn't a big deal anymore. Doing
homework is optional, and people's opinions of me matter less and less. I think the reason I'm not stressed out lies mostly in the fact that I don't care about a lot of things. I'm making all B's, so it's not like there's an urgency to improve my grades. Maybe Thanksgiving Break will give me back my drive ...
That's another thing. I don't know what to expect of going home again. Everyone got postcards in the mail giving advice of how to behave at home. It said stuff such as "Don't stay out all night," "Respect the rules," "Clean up after yourself," "Be a good houseguard" — how common sense is that! I thought it was weird. My worries are about the things I don't expect. I don't think I've changed so much to the point of begin obnoxious to my parents. I'm sure I'll get annoyed at some point, though ...
Well, thus far, college has offered many "firsts" for me, one of which was donating blood, which I did today. Even though I spent more than an hour at the Union, it didn't seem that long.

myself. it was a feeling I hope every one can enjoy some day ...
Something I've noticed about this campus has been bothering me for a while. Being in college, one would think that these young adults, regardless of how conservative/liberal a lifestyle, would exude a sense of self-confidence. Then why, I ask, doesn't anybody look a person in the face as they walk by?
I can count the number of times somebody looks me in the eye in a day on one hand. And if somebody nods, smiles or (gasp) says "hello." I almost fall over from the shock. To me, acknowledging someone on the street is not only a way of showing them respect for who they are, but also a way to show confidence in yourself. Walking with your head held high is a thing of the past. And why is that?
Ah, the hell that is midterms.
Nothing like a frantic two weeks that causes severe sleep deprivation and crankiness to liven up a semester. huh? I guess this gives me decent insight on how finals will be. Only about 10 times more hectic, that is...
I don't have the answer, but if you see me on campus, ask me. I'll at least took you in the eye when I say, "I don't know"...

Issues get lost as candidates race for votes
Amid all the voting chaos, America has a new leader deep in its pockets. In any case, I cannot say I am satisfied, nor can I say that I was impressed with each politician's savvy for spewing out plans, numbers and promises. I felt deceived and threatened as a citizen of this country, and I can honestly say that I wasn't fooled by the "smile and wave technique" that was used by every candidate.
From state to state, candidates campaigned vigorously, disguising fixations of an oligarchy with empty promises of a democracy. The majority of these campaigns had a tendency to "lure" citizens into the ideology of democracy. However, these citizens will be let down when they come to the realization their voice is only a soft echo in a Grand Canyon of desperate political cries.
The supposed government of this country is simply this: Power emanates from the people A government where the people choose, correct?
Well, my "choice" to watch regular program-
These misleading campaigns tend to replace allegiance and moral ethics with blind faith in a blindfolded search to find the perfect man to fix material problems rather than focus on social dilemmas.

mng on my television is snatched away when my television set is bombarded by some presidential debate between two conformist, so-called leaders who irresistibly tag a budget onto every social problem in America.
I'm sorry, but my destiny as a citizen in this country is far more important than a debate about putting a cap on campaign financing or funding for some space station on a planet I'll never see.
This is one of the main reasons why so many people neglected to treat the vote with importance. People did not want to vote. They wanted to believe. In triumph or defeat, votes represented by a legitimate believer are far more sincere and effective than votes of those that have invested no heart into their decisions
If you believe in yourself, you expect yourself to do the best at whatever it is you do, correct? On the other hand, don't you expect this government to lead this country to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness?" Sure you do. So naturally, you shouldn't believe in it until it does. There is no reason why your self-efficacy shouldn't reflect the efficiency of your government. With that in mind, I urge you to take a strong look at the people who pleaded for your vote. Did you believe in them?
Historically, were these politicians any different than any other past politicians who have had the power to simply stroke their pen across a designated line in order to sign a law or bill? The campaign trail can seem dreadfully inviting at times, but out of any of today's presidential candidates, who wanted to make amends now? With that said, I challenge the notion that society cannot change overnight.
No thanks to every president before Woodrow Wilson, it took 145 years for women to gain their right to vote. During the 175 years before Dwight D. Eisenhower's presidency, the American school system was racially segregated. Above all, during the 187 years before Lyndon Johnson's presidency, not one president other than John F. Kennedy might have given thought to asking for passage of a civil rights law. There is no reason why these issues should have taken so long to be given a fair look.
This substantial evidence proves that any issue can be resolved overnight. Because of ignorance, major laws in American history took hundreds of years to be given a just look at. Even today, society hasn't soaked up the principles. An overnight change is what this country needs. Spontaneity is a cunning eye-opener.
The facts are frightening and certainly do not reflect that of a democracy. This is why I had a hard time "believing" in any of the candidates. They hadn't shown themselves to be any different from any past candidates and winners, whom have never led the nation according to the wants and needs of its citizens. So, assuming that there is a next time ... believe before you vote, or don't vote at all!

Alternative Break opens student's eyes to problems
Pay to do community service? What a rip off.
Behold one of my friend's reactions when I told him I was going on Alternative Spring Break in Detroit a couple of years ago.
Though I was excited about my trip, I had to admit my itinerary looked like the worst deal ever: Paying to do volunteer work sounds fishy, trading in the prospect of frosty brews for Kool-Aid is a throw-back to
pre-21 days and frozen Detroit is hardly the hot spot for college kids on spring break.
Despite my buddy's disgust, I went through with it; I paid the money, I did the service and I loved it enough to go on a second trip. In Detroit, I taught conflict resolution to grade school kids; last spring, I went to Houston and helped teach eighth-grade English in an underfunded middle school.
Before I went on these breaks, I would have characterized myself as a socially concerned individual, yet issues of education, the environment, health care, poverty and multiculturalism seemed somewhat distant and abstract.
Eric
Snider
guest columnist
opinion@kansan.com
break experiences changed my perspective about education and my idea of personal responsibility.
After working with the kids in schools I visited, I saw first-hand not only how all
These alternative
these social issues affected these children but also how these problems affect me. I learned many life lessons during these trips, lessons more valuable than any check I can ever write — let alone the few bucks my friend scoffed at when I first told him my plans.
My new understanding began with the help of Alternative Breaks on the KU campus.
Students have the opportunity to learn about these important social and environmental issues in a meaningful way by participating in the trips Alternative Breaks offers during winter and spring breaks, and on six weekends throughout each semester. The program is rooted in the philosophy of service-learning; therefore, I applied my classroom knowledge and skills at the service agencies I visited.
In some ways, Alternative Breaks is a lot like MTV's Road Rules or Real World. It is the true story of eight to 10 KU students picked to ride in a van to see what happens when they give of their time and start doing service.
Did I go on an Alternative Break and save the world while my friends were drinking beer on the couch or running sand through their toes in Cancun? Clearly not.
I've become friends with KU students whom I may never have met had I not gone on the trips. The van ride might not have the zany Road Rules challenges, and the accommodations might not compare to a New Orleans mansion or a New York loft, but the primary idea of bringing different people together holds true.
Did I internalize the lessons from my text books, better understand the news, touch a few lives and reevaluate my priorities? Definitely yes.

Editorial
Vote trading is a legal compromise
Kansas Secretary of State said he'd prosecute those who trade votes in elections.
No. If vote trading is bribery, then campaigning is bribery. The statute vote traders would be prosecuted under defines bribery as offering or agreeing to accept any benefits as consideration to or from any person to vote for a candidate.
Secretary of State Ron Thornberg claimed he would vigorously prosecute anyone who traded their vote online. The crime they would be charged with is election bribery. Is vote trading really bribery? Does it violate our sacred democratic institutions?
Under this definition of bribery, "any person" could be George W. Bush. "Any benefit" could be his promise to citizens to invest part of their tax money into the market. Several Kansas voters accepted this benefit in consideration for voting for Bush.
If the Secretary of State urges the Attorney General to prosecute a single Nader Trader, it's only fair he also urge the state to drag Bush down here to stand trial for election bribery. Gore should come, too, since he promised to put Social Security in a lock box.
The notion of charging vote traders with bribery is as ridiculous as charging legislators with bribery. The national and state legislatures trade votes all the time as part of the democratic process of compromise. In an ideal world, we'd send representatives to the legislature, and they'd vote Kansas' conscience on every issue, and we'd vote for the candidate we want, not against the one we fear most.
But politics is a realistic business so compromises have to be made. Legislators have to make deals and vote to establish coalitions, and the people must do the same. So long as an outmoded structure such as the Electoral College makes some votes worthless, to preserve the will of the people, trading is a fair scheme.

Feature Perspective
Fake mullet quickly prompts stereotypes
First, the basics; for Halloween, my stylist. Steve, glued 20 inches of real human hair to my skull in an attempt to create the greatest mullet the campus of the University of Kansas had ever seen.
Did you point? Did you laugh? Were you one of three wanna-be Prada models who tried to beat me up at a local bar and dell? Or, did you just utter the words 'white trash' as I walked past?
If you said yes to any
If you said yes to all of these questions, thanks, you helped me write this article (especially the poser-model dudes). Many of you might have noticed my hair grew 20 inches in the back and remained short in the front last week.
Why? Quite simply, to challenge all the beautiful people on this campus.
PETER T
My goal was not to ridicule the true mullet wearing members of our society. Instead I was trying to assimilate, to become the stereotype that forced people to stare.
Lucas Krump guest columnist opinio@kansan.com
By trade I am a lawn-mower. For the last eight years, I have sweated behind a 48-inch Encore mower, driven a big truck, stepped in dog crap and enjoined every minute of it.
As the proud owner of a lawn and landscaping business, I have already been subjected to the stares and unwarranted traffic stops as I drive through affluent neighborhoods. I have heard customers gasp in astonishment when I tell them yes, I am a college student.
It is the behavior of people who only know me by the appearance of my profession that spurred a desire within me to embrace the social construction so many of you call, "white trash."
Yes, on Halloween I played the role of the truck driving, Billy Ray Cyrus fan. Everyone laughed, took a picture and told me how I looked like real "white trash." As if comparing someone to human discharge is responsible to be funny.
As I entered into, let's just call it "the Peach Pit" on a solo mission. Three Brandon Walsh impersonators gave me a hard stare. No comments, just the typical "you-mow-lawn's" look I have experienced while building my lawn care empire.
After a beer, I left, only to hear the comment:
"Mullet trash, drink somewhere else." Not believing my ears. I asked, "What?"
"We're not going to beat you up, we're going to kill you, mullet trash" screamed Brandon.
was it true? Was the mullet, the white-trash appearance, so challenging to these three close-minded boneheads that they had just threatened my life? Fearing a coup of my beautiful locks, I ran. But the mullet behind me would stay.
For the next three days, I was content living my life with a mullet. People encouraged me to wear "white trash" clothes and act like "trash" (whatever that is suppose to be).
I changed nothing; my mullet was not about playing the part of "white trash" so many of us have created. It was about challenging people, how they would treat me.
Could the masses of people so consumed by appearance accept an individual who appeared not to be?
As I strolled down Jayhawk Boulevard days after Halloween, I could not help but notice the stares. Then I heard the comment "white trash" whispered behind my back.
I was overjoyed. I had become the stereotype.
To this behind-the-back talking individual I present the question: What is white trash? Is white trash someone from a different socioeconomic background, from a different part of town? Is white burger the person who makes your cheese-burger or mows your lawn?
All I presented to the world during my four-day experiment was a mullet, a hairstyle. People who knew nothing about me, my family or my home felt perfectly comfortable openly degrading me.
Soon, the mullet was removed and I returned to my normal self. But I could not help thinking about what had just transpired. Was it really true? Were people on this campus really this close minded?
Did you see me and think "white trash"? If so, ask yourself "why?"
The University of Kansas provides us with the education to be successful. We must down our own stereotypes and social constructions so we as individuals can accept all individuals without classifying them with meaningless adjectives. I urge my fellow classmates to look past the profession, the appearance the mullet and learn to accept all human beings.

Letter to the editor
Columnist ignores other side of conflict in the Middle East
After reading your blatantly racist and bigoted column ("Appeasement a poor tactic in Middle East," October 28), we feel a response is necessary.
First off, let's clear up one important thing. Mitchell is Jewish, and Dario is Roman Catholic.
Mr. McCool, you seem to be blind to several sides of this issue. First of all, neither side in this endeavor has done anything resembling a decent
job of upholding their agreements. The Israelis see the Palestinians living among them as second-class citizens. They always have, despite equal status under the law. Israel is not an innocent party by any means. The Palestinians, though, have abandoned Yasser Arafat as a leader because they see him as making too many concessions to Israel. Thus, there is no real Palestinian authority with which Israel may negotiate in good faith.
That being said, the hatred the Palestinians show in their sermons is also echoed in kind by some extremist Jews. This latest round of violence was instigated by a Jew attempting to visit the Temple Mount, a site closed to Jewish visitors. Whether that is right is beyond the scope of this discussion. The fact remains, however, that Ariel Sharon had no business being in an Arab-controlled area at great risk to himself, and evidently, the entire regional stability. Ariel Sharon is one of the leaders of an extremist faction within Israel that has openly called for the expulsion of the Palestinians.
Israel has successfully implemented peace accords with nations such as Egypt and Jordan. Anwar Sadat was assassinated by extremists within his government for brokering the Camp David accords. The Jordanians and the Israelis have had a very good relationship since signing their peace accords in 1994, Yitzhak Rabin signed these accords with King Hussein I and was himself assassinated by Yigal Amir, an extremist Jew who felt he had to stop the peace process at any cost.
Another thing to consider is not all Israelis and Palestinians want all this violence. There are many people on both sides of the violence who just want it to end and want peace. You have made a rather arrogant presumption by assuming the actions of a few dictate the feelings of the whole.
Israel has not acted honorably in all aspects of the latest round of violence, or any other. They have recently been shelling and bombing Palestinian police stations, and other Palestinian Authority buildings. They have sent tanks against civilians. Remember how the world reacted when China did the same thing in Tiannan Square? They have killed innocent civilians who were not involved in the violence. And yes, Palestinians have killed innocent Israeli citizens, too. Nobody's hands are clean in this tragedy.
Lastly, the anti-Semitism displayed by the Palestinians is nothing new for the Jews. Jews have been persecuted as a religious group since Abraham migrated from Canaan to Egypt. Jews have faced horrors from Babylonian and Roman persecution - and survived. Jews have dealt with Russian pogroms and Christian crusaders - and survived. Hitler certainly did not begin anything new, and no one in the Arab world will, to quote your own words, "finish what was begun at Auschwitz." Survival is not the issue here. Peace is.

It's a paradox coiffed into an enigma.
Perhaps that's why the mirror inspires such attention. Reactions to the short-on-top, long-in-back hairstyle are as varied as the terminology applied to it. Whether you call it a bi-level, a Camaro cut, a mudflap or a neckwarmer, it's bound to be met with a hum, humor, disdain, perhaps even aggression.
And though the heyday of the mullet may have passed, it continues to occupy a place — however suspect — in our cultural psyche.
"I've been a big fan of mullets." Krump said. "I kind of wanted to identify with those people."

Lucas Krump, Overland Park junior, knows first-hand the effect a mullet can have on people. A self-described "mullet enthusiast," Krump had extensions of real human hair glued to the back of his head to create a mullet, which he wore for several days last week as part of an experiment. (Exactly what the experiment contributed to the good of humanity is still debatable.)

He found that he wasn't alone in his affinity for the mullet.
have been pretty supportive. But Krump also encountered some negative reactions. On Halloween night at a downtown bar, Krump's mullet nearly got him in a fight.
He found that he wasn't alone in his affinity for the milieu. "It's turned a lot of heads," Krump said, "and overall, people have been pretty supportive."
He said he was sporting the mullet at Quinton's. 615 Massachusetts St., and was "playing the part, being loud," when some other patrons took offense to his presence.
Especially his mullet.
"They weren't having it," Krump said. "They really wanted to fight about the mullet. They said something like, 'Go drink with your own type.' I could see it getting ripped off my head."
John Ewing, Columbia, Mo., senior, is familiar with the litany of stereotypes attached to the mullet. He, too, had one for Halloween. But his was real and entirely for the purpose of a costume.
"Generally, the lower rungs of society — not necessarily just militia men," he said. "My friend went as a heavy-metal rocker."
But while mullets often draw unfavorable associations, some people view mults as symbols of fun and outrageousness.
Mark Toepfer is one of four seniors at Kansas State University who have formed an informal Mullet Club. None of the members has a real mullet, but they occasionally pay homage to the style with mullet wigs worn for festive forays into Aggleville.
Toefer said the club was embraced by Manhattan's bar patrons who were generally "pretty accepting of diversity."
Mullet slang:
par ents who wield a sword. A real mullet takes a lot of dedication, Toefer said. And he's yet to go for the style because he said he realized the cut came with some baggage.
"It's not a dying breed," he said. "It's a trend we're trying to bring back. It'll never completely be gone."
But Toefer said he thought there would always be some place for the mullet.
"I haven't because I'm a business major," Toepfer said. "It doesn't go with the professional world."
bring back. It'd never compare Hillaire Wheeler, a hairstylist at Strands, 201 W. Eighth St. said she saw fewer mullets than in the past, but she still had a client who wore one.
She said a "modified mullet" was making a modest comeback, citing a recent Brad Pitt haircut that was a little longer in back.
"I've been cutting the back shorter and shorter," Wheeler said. "I don't want him looking like Billy Ray Cyrus."
In the October issue of W, a snooty fashion magazine, an article gushes over actor Jared Leto's "newly blond, streaked and tufted mullet haircut." Leto's mullet, according to the article, makes him "otherworldly beautiful and Brit-pop edgy."
Wheeler said, however, that the hairstyle wasn't necessarily linked to one look or stereotype.
Seven (the shape of the number)
Neckwarmer
10-90 (a numerical proportion of the amount of hair on top to that in the back) Achy-breaky-bad-mistaky
But the traditional mullet most likely will be relegated to the pages of the numerous satirical Web sites dedicated to mullet culture. And that style may continue to be pushed to the fringes of acceptability.

'Hawks need healthy victory against 'Cats
By Sarah Warren
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Revenge. take two.
Last Saturday, the Kansas volleyball team avenged an earlier loss to Baylor by busting the Bears' winning wishes in a 3-0 shellacking at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center.
Now, Kansas State will have the bull's-eye painted on its chest when it enters Horejsi at 7 p.m. tomorrow.
"Out of all the teams in the Big 12, this is the one we want to beat," said Jennifer Kraft, sophomore defensive specialist. "There's just something about them that makes our skin crawl."
In addition to the biological reactions that plague the Jayhawks when they play the Wildcats, there are the mental effects. The sweet side of the team disappears, and the vitriolic side rears its ugly head.
Kansas is about to take no prisoners.
"We want this one," Kraft said. "They're in-state, and they hurt us earlier."
But the Jayhawks have their work out for them against K-State.

"They beat ranked Missouri (No 23) Wednesday night, so they might be ranked sometime in the near future," said Kansas coach Ray Bechard.
It doesn't help that Wildcat junior outside hitter Liz Wegner is second in kills per game in the Big 12 — just ahead of No. 3 Amy Myatt, a senior outside hitter for the Jawhaws.
"Wegener is definitely a factor." Bechard said. "Tm sure they definently look to her for leadership and as a play maker."
Wegner is a major part of the Wildcats' strength — the side out.

"Kansas State's not very physical, but they are a very good side-out and rally team." Bechard said. "They can convert."
"You can have a lot of opportunities to take advantage of in digs." Kraft said. "They just want to side-out every time."
However, as a defensive specialist, Kraft said she welcomed the opportunity to face a great side-out team. That means more chances for her to take a kill away from Wegner or other Kansas State swingers.
The Jayhawks are going to model their play after last Saturday's victory, instead of Wednesday's loss to Texas Tech.
For Kraft, being consistent in wins means having consistent levels of determination, too.
"They swing hard every single time, and we've just got to answer back," she said. "We can't let up at all."
"We were disappointed with how we played Wednesday, so now we just hope that we can play our very best against Kansas State," Bechard said. "Baylor was a good outing for us, but we have to be consistent with our wins and play."

'Hawks outlast Bruins
Kansas shows determination in 99-98 victory
By Michael Rigg
Kansan sportswriter
NEW YORK — The Jayhawks opened their exhibition schedule by flexing their muscles, but they started the regular season by showing their guts.
Playing against an obscene amount of foul trouble, a surging UCLA Bruins team and without senior forward Luke Axtell, Kansas gutted out a 99-98 victory against UCLA last night in Madison Square Garden that showed the Jayhawks' character as much as their savvy.
Kansas had a 10-point lead with a little more than nine minutes to go in the contest, but the Bruins battled back and tied the game at 87 five minutes later. UCLA matched blows with the Jayhawks down the stretch, but a clutch performance by sophomore forward Drew Gooden and four pressure-packed free throws by junior guard Jeff Boschee sealed the deal for the seventh-ranked Jayhawks.
"It showed some guts," said senior forward Kenny Gregory, who led the Jayhawk scorers with 24 points. "Last year, it was almost like we didn't want those games. But this season, everything's different."
"I was talking with Kenny with about four minutes to go, and I told him, 'there's no way we're losing this game,'" he said. "We'll have
Gooden agreed.
Gooden and the Jayhawks wouldn't have
been put in that precarious position if UCLA didn't shoot a lights-out 54 percent from three-point range. The Bruins' strategy was simple: Shoot from the perimeter, and, on the rare occasions they missed, have freshman T.J. Cummings in position for the putback.
And it worked to near-perfection. UCLA sophomore Jason Kapono hit six three-pointers en route to tallying 22 points in the game, and Cummings racked up 24 points against Kansas underneath the basket.
Space for Cummings was cleared, in part, to the new emphasis in college basketball on rough play. While Kansas coach Roy Williams was one of the coaches who complained loudest about the rough play, it was his Jayhawks who were victimized in the season opener. Four Kansas players had four fouls each at game's end, and senior center Eric Chenowith fouled out of the contest with under a minute to go.
"I thought there were several times tonight underneath the basket that wouldn't have been called in the past," Williams said. "But I ask you, wouldn't you rather watch that than a game that's 19-17 at half-time?"
Still, Williams defended the new rules, which turned last night's game into a defenseless free-throw contest.
Because of the constant fouling, the Jayhawks allowed the most points since 1990 when they fell to Oklahoma. 100-78. Still, Gooden said the Jayhawks just need
ed to continue what they did last night — just not how they did it.
"We focus on our principals in practice." Gooden said. "We just have to stick to those. But if we go out and play like we did tonight, we're not going to be very successful."
Kansas Game Notes
■ Kenny uses the force: How much did Gregory miss Axtell? Well, the senior forward played 37 minutes last night and didn't rest in the second half.
"I missed him a whole lot," Gregory said.
"A couple of times I didn't get much rest.
At times, I was a little tired, so I sucked it up and tried to be tough."
Gregory also tallied seven rebounds and nalled three-pointers, but he was zero-for-3 from the free-throw line.
Welcome 'The Hawk' On the recruiting trail, Jeff Hawkins, a 5-foot-10 guard from Summer Academy in Kansas City, Kan., will walk-on and redshirt next season. Hawkins will then be on scholarship the following year.
Hawkins' agreement to walk on means the Jayhawks still have one more scholarship to fill this year.
November Magic: Last night represented the Jayhawks' 30th- straight win in the month of November. It was also Kansas' first win against a ranked opponent away from Allen Fieldhouse since the Jayhawks beat Oklahoma State at the Big 12 Conference Tournament in 1999.

Jayhawks campaign for fans against 'Horns

Kansas sportwriter
His campaign goal: Kansas coach Terry Allen wants to get Kansas' football team to a postseason game for the first time since 1995. But Kansas must win the next two debates to qualify.
You've already heard from Republicans and George W., Democrats and Al, the Green Party and Ralph — now a post-election word from the Jayhawks and Terry.
His plan: A victory at 1 p.m. tomorrow against No. 19 Texas. The rally will be held at Jayhawk party headquarters, Memorial Stadium. The game will be the final one at home for 20 seniors, nine of whom were Allen's recruits when he arrived in 1987.
weather tomorrow. The Jayhawks, Allen said, would have an advantage playing a Texas team that wasn't used to the cold. But Allen will trade that in for sunshine and a bigger crowd.
"Hopefully the weather will clear so we can get us as good a crowd out there as possible." Allen said.
The campaign strategy is a reform of sorts. Kansas would love bad
Another belief Kansas has is finance reform. Ticket sales and attendance have lagged more than expected, so the promotions department has set up ways to attract more delegates.
Kansas has 30 Texans on its roster, so even Longhorns fans will be welcome — kind of.
University students who have a ticket can bring a friend for free. There are packages combining tickets to two early-season basketball games and a ticket to the Texas game. The game has been designated Youth Football Day, where high school, junior high and youth teams will be admitted for free.
"I guess it will kill of be a homestate game for us," said freshman running back Reggie Duncan, who hails from Killeen. "But we'd rather have the place filled with our fans."
"It's been the same the last two weeks." Norris said.
One of Kansas' biggest hopes is that one of its running mates is ready to go. Moran Norris has missed the last two weeks with a sprained ankle. He's hoping to play in his final home game. However, he has not been encouraged by the progress of his injury.
But the Jayhawks want support.
And no more absentee votes.
This is a winner-take-all game for Kanss. The Jayhawks win, Allen said he believed his team would win at Iowa State next week and become bowl-eligible.

Gore even listed his top 10 athletes on ESPN's Web site.
George W. Bush used to own the Texas Rangers, and Al Gore used to play basketball at Harvard. Those are two sports guys.
The similarities are eerie. Maybe they should make campaigning the newest pay-per-view sport.
Both the candidates and the Sunshine State have had their fair share of police problems, dynasties and weird outcomes.
No surprise: Election rests on strange, shady Florida
So with all the sports knowledge — and I use that word lightly when speaking of George W. — between the two main candidates, it's no surprise the first election of the new millennium came down to the state of Florida.
First off, the convictions.
There are some allegations that Gore affiliates may have bought votes in various states by offering packs of cigarettes in exchange for a vote for Mr. Personality. You know, he did invent them.
Bush was convicted of a DUI eons ago, but it only surfaced last week. Cover-up? Possibly. But read his lips he didn't mean to and he's sorry.
More important are the sports dynasties. Just the mention of Don Shula and the Miami Dolphins would have scared the cleats off some pro teams. FSU has dominated the college field for a while, the Miami Heat caught some fire when they obtained Alonzo Mourning and the Orlando Magic have more eye candy with the addition of Grant Hill.
If only the football players at the University of Miami were so apologetic.
Remember those Miami-Notre Dame t-shirts that said "Catholics vs. Convicts"? The Hurricanes had as much hoodlum activity in the late '80s as electoral votes needed to win an election.
Then there's Florida State — can you say 10 to 15 years? The Seminoles are as old as some of the candidates, and their thug mentality could be football's version of mudslinging.
So the edge in convictions would have to go to Florida — extra points for creativity with Darryl Strawberry's drug bust in Tampa while he was under house arrest. He and Bush have a lot in common. Maybe the former Yankee snorted those missing ballots in Florida.
But just like the election, nothing is for certain.
Both Florida and the two candidates stem from a long line of winning traditions. George W. — Papa Bush was President. Big Al — Father Gore was a Tennessee senator. But those account for little in the voter's mind when it's voting time.
What about those dynasties?
There's a history lesson here about dynasties, kids: Don't rely on history to win an election.
A year after the Florida Marlins won the World Series, they traded their whole team away and fell hard and fast. See, recounts aren't always good.
So here's your last useless tidbit about Florida: Kenny Gregory wants to live in Miami if he could.
Florida — dynasties, place of convictions and election results. And those results aren't going to be in until Nov. 17, far too long for me to wait to put the final spin on the whole Florida/campaign connection.
What an oddly-shaped and ever-connecting state.

Women's team lands high school recruits
The Kansas women's basketball team picked up two recruits for next year's team.
Blue Valley North High School guard Blair Waltz led her team to the state playoffs three times, which includes two Kansas state championships. Last season, she was named to the Kansas City Star All-Metro first team after averaging 12 points and five rebounds per game.
"She is one of the top long-range shooters and has the ability to create off the dribble," said Kansas coach Marian Washington.
The second player to sign was Chelsey Thompson. She plays at DuPont High School in Louisville, Ky.
Thompson averaged 13 points and 6.5 rebounds last season and is a candidate for Miss Kentucky Basketball.
Washington said she could play anywhere from point guard to small forward for the 'Hawks next season.

Bowling teams hope to continue success
The University of Kansas bowling teams will be in Chicago to compete in the Brunswick Great Lakes Collegiate Team Classic Nov. 4.
The men's team will try to continue the momentum it gained by finishing fourth at the Midstates Collegiate Tournament in Topeka.

"I was pleased with how we performed at Mid-States, and I am looking forward to improving on that performance," said Tom Partridge, Olathe senior.
The teams fared well last year in Chicago. The men's team finished 20th out of 52 teams, while the women finished 11th out of 27 teams.
Mike Keeler, St. Louis junior, led the men's team last year averaging 219 a game, which was third overall in the tournament.
The teams have implemented new practice routines since the tournament in Topeka to try to help them finish higher in Chicago.
The women were lead by Christy Distier, a Shawnee second-year pharmacy student, with a 199 average that was 15th overall in the tournament.
Coach Mike Fine said the teams had improved from last year's performances as well as the performance to Topeka.
"We see this as an opportunity to measure ourselves against the best in the country." Fine said. "We feel our bowling program is one of the elite programs, and this will be a chance to validate this."

Strawberry jailed after leaving rehab center
The former New York Yankees slugger was sentenced yesterday to 30 days, with credit for the 15 days he already has served.
TAMPA, Fla. — A judge jailed Darryl Strawberry for at least another week and told him to resume treatment for colon cancer as soon as possible "or you are history."
Noting a doctor's testimony that Strawberry will die if he doesn't resume the chemotherapy he abandoned after being jailed, Judge Florence Foster told him to resume the treatments as soon as possible
With time served and other considerations of the Hillsborough County jail system, Strawberry could be free in about 10 days. An exact date was not set at the hearing.
"You have got to get the therapy or you are history," she said.
Once out, Strawberry, who also is fighting a cocaine addiction, must return to a private substance-abuse treatment center where he had been serving house arrest for violating probation from a street-drug case.
He wounded in jail because he left the center, HealthCare Connections of Tampa Inc., in late October for a binge of cocaine and Xanax.
He is to wear an electronic monitor, and if he leaves again, the judge promised him prison.
The judge also ordered Strawberry to undergo random drug tests three times a week and to attend Narcotics Anonymous meetings at the center.

Jayhawk swimmers prepare for Southwest Missouri State
sports@kansan.com
By Karen Donnelly
Special to the Kansan
University of Kansas swimners have high expectations of turning around last week's loss to Missouri as they prepare for battle against Southwest Missouri State today in home waters.
The dual meet against the Bears starts at 6 p.m., marking the fourth home meet for the Jayhawks at Robinson Natatorium.
"We expect Southwest Missouri State to swim very well against us," said Kansas men's coach Doug Dickinson.
The Kansas men's team stands unbeaten in series history against Southwest Missouri State, going 9-0 in dual meets in the series, which began in 1976. The two teams have not met since Nov. 23, 1997, when the Jayhawks stomped the Bears 148-88 in Springfield, Mo.
Missouri swept Kansas at the Jayhawks' last meet Nov. 4 in Columbia, Mo. The Missouri men's team defeated the Jayhawks 181-19, while the Tiger's women's team secured a 170-130 victory.
The Kansas men's team will look for another strong performance today from sophomore Brian Soria. He won both the 500 and 1,000 freestyle last week against Missouri.
Today marks the first-ever meeting between the Jayhawk women's team and the Bears.
"The girls are excited because we're facing a team we haven't seen before," said Kansas women's coach Cathy Burvess.
Sophomore Beth Schryer and freshman Sarah Ross lead the Kansas women in both the 500 and

Other strong performers for the Jayhawk women could be junior Sarah Holke, who won the 200 fly last week in Columbia; junior Carrie Kirkham, who won the 100 free; and junior Rebecca McFall on the one-meter springboard.
"They are looking forward to racing and coming back to Robinson and meeting a new team," Burgess said.

Last chance looms for cross country teams

Tomorrow means now or never for the Kansas cross country teams.
The Jayhawks will participate in the Midwest Regionals tomorrow in Ceder Falls, Iowa, and without a strong performance, tomorrow could be their last competition of the season.
Midwest Regionals are the official qualifiers for the NCAA Championships. Along with Kansas, all the Division I schools in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Oklahoma and Nebraska will make up the field at the Midwest Regionals. The top two teams and top 10 individual finishers from each region across the country
will receive automatic bids to the NCAA Championships. At-large berths then are offered to several schools following the regionals based on previous performances.
The Kansas men finished sixth in the Big 12 Conference Championships Oct. 28 and still are in the thick of the race for an NCAA berth. Coach Stanley Redwine said the right effort and timing from his runners could be the key for qualifying.
"We ran very well at conference, and to get to the NCAA meet, we will need to have the best meet of the year," he said. "But I wouldn't put it past this team to do that exact thing."
Redwine said that although a team berth might still be a long-shot, having a couple of runners qualify individually was a likely
CROSS COUNTRY
Who: All Division I schools in Iowa, Nebraska, Oklahoma, Missouri and Kansas.
What: The Midwest Regional When: Tomorrow
Where: Cedar Falls, Iowa, at Northern Iowa University.
Significance: The top two men's and women's teams and top 10 men's and women's individuals automatically qualify for the NCAA Championships in Ames, Iowa.
"Our goal is to qualify some individuals for the NCAA meet and hopefully a team," he said.
possibility.
The Kansas women finished 11th at the Big 12 Conference Championship, but junior Katy Elsemengard said that would not
discourage the Kansas women's hopes.
"We did not run well at conference this year, but regionals should not be as tough," she said. "If we can all race well on the same day, we'll have a shot to do well on Saturday."
Redwine agreed that the women would all have to step up tomorrow to be successful, but he also said that he was proud of the overall season performances.
"I definitely feel that we can finish in the middle of the pack," Redwine said. "When you have four freshmen, two sophomores and a junior, that would be a pretty good season for such a young team. People should look for great things from this team in the future."

Titans character plays it smooth
LOS ANGELES — Jack Wagner is smooth. As Jack Williams on NBC's new prime-time soap, *Titans*, he'd like to be even smoother.
Wagner is tactful about the plot development that removed King and made him kingin.
ANY IDEA WHEN ITLL BE SPONTANEOUS AGAIN?
When Titans debuted, Perry King was head of the Williams clan and corporation. Younger brother Jack showed up for an episode of the character Richard's wedding to a much younger woman, and then he vanished back to Europe.
"It just brightened a horrible day," she said. "We love him."
"I don't know how that all came about," he said. "You never really know."
Script supervisor Mary Donner, who worked with Wagner on *Melrose Place*, says she learned he was cast on *Titans* while she was at the doctor's office for a mammography.
Now Richard is dead. He died — in the customary style of Aaron Spelling's glossy nighttime soaps — overdoing it with his young bride, Heather, played by Yasmine Bleeth. So Jack is back, conveniently on cue for November sweeps.
This isn't wagner's first nighttime soap. He played Dr. Peter Burns on Spelling's Melrose Place from 1994-1999. There he was the lover. Here he is the boss.
The Associated Press
He's amused to find himself marked as a veteran.
Maturity has not dented his blond, hit-the-jackpot, good looks.
"Ithe cast, they are so young," Wagner, 41, said. "Being literally 'married to Heather Locklear two years ago and coming in for my first read-through (here), these two beautiful young girls call me Uncle Jack. Is there a typo there? Do I get my walker now?"
Williams is the chief executive officer of Williams Global Enterprises and patriarch of the tempestuous family made filthy rich by the company's fast-track deals. *Titans* airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. EST.
"It is so not my nature to use business dialogue," he said. "I am much more a tongue-in-cheek kind of guy. I am trying to handle the dialogue so Williams is never really in search of what he wants to say when he's got his business face on. So the dialogue is clipped; the dialogue is smooth."

Longhorns' star out of action
By Allan Davis

When No. 19 Texas lines up to battle Kansas tomorrow, it will be without one of its most productive players.
Junior quarterback Major Applewhite, 1999 co-Big 12 Conference Offensive Player of the Year, strained his right knee last Saturday against Texas Tech and is out of action for at least a week.
Instead, Kansas will have to deal with sophomore Chris Simms, who started and split time with Applewhite — until Oklahoma trounced the Longhorns 63-14 on Oct. 7 in Dallas. After that, Applewhite became the starter and got most of
the playing time, leading the Longhorns to four consecutive wins. This coach Mack Brown said he
Texas coach Mack Brown said he anticibated Simms would perform.
"When Chris played early, we weren't very good on offense," Brown said. "I think it has helped our offense in that we have simplified some things, are more physical and are running the ball a lot better. As a result, it's a lot better time for Chris to step in than earlier in the year."
Kansas coach Terry Allen said the Jayhawks would be prepared for what the 6-foot-5 Simms brought to the game.
"They do basically the same stuff with him," Allen said. "You just have to take into consideration that he's left-handed and Major's
right-handed."
Allen said one effect of the left-handed quarterback would be that some of Texas' plays would flow to the left rather than the right.
Because Simms be startling, the Longhorns can be expected to rely more on their running game. Simms attempted only two passes after he replaced the injured Applewhite, but Texas running back Hodges Mitchell ran a school record 45 times for 229 yards and two touchdowns.
Allen said he was aware Texas had a strong running game.
"Id like to think we can stand in there against Texas and defend the run, but it will be a physical ball game," he said.

The Big 12 Conference North Division title will be on the line tomorrow when No. 4 Nebraska (8-1, 5-1 Big 12) meets No. 16 Kansas State (8-2, 4-2) in Manhattan. The winner will likely capture the Big 12 North title.
Both teams have strong offenses Nebraska is fourth in the nation in scoring with an average of 43.8 points per game and K-State fifth with 43.3 points per game.
No. 1. Oklahoma (8-0, 5-0) at No. 23
Texas M&B (7-2, 5-1)
Texas A&M must win to have a chance at the Big 12 South Division title.
Aggie running back Ja'Mar
Toombs has already scored 12 rushing touchdowns. Quarterback Mark Farris' main target is Robert Ferguson, a junior wide receiver who has five touchdowns and 50 receptions for 780 yards.
Sooner quarterback Josh Heupel is fourth in the nation in passing efficiency and has thrown 15 touchdown passes.
Iowa State (6-3, 3-3) at Colorado
(3-6, 3-3)
Iowa State is already bowl-eligible, but a strong finish will mean a more prestigious bowl placement.
Colorado is playing for pride because, with six losses, the Buffs are inelegible for a postseason game.
Iowa State quarterback Sage Rosenfels is 28th nationally in total offense, averaging 238.8 yards.
Oklahoma State (2-6, 0-5) at Texas Tech (6-4, 2-4)
Oklahoma State coach Bob Simmons has announced his intention to resign at the end of the season. His teams have won just 29 games in seven seasons.
missouri (2-7, 1-5) at Baylor (2-7, 0-6)
Tiger coach Larry Smith has already announced his intention to return next year, but Missouri has a 32-45 record during his tenure.
Texas Tech needs one more win to become bowl-elegant for the ninth time in 10 years.
Missouri (2.7, 1.5) at Bowling Green
Missouri's junior defensive end Justin Smith leads the Tigers with 76 tackles and 5.5 sacks while Baylor's Kris Micheau, a senior linebacker, leads the Bears with 77 tackles.

Kansan sportswriter
NEW YORK — UCLA's guards were lethal weapons, but the Bruins' perimeter play wasn't enough, letting No. 7 Kansas dodge a bullet and win 99-88 at Madison Square Garden last night.
After falling into an early 16-2 hole, senior point guard Earl Watson, junior guard Billy Knight and sophomore forward Jason Kapono helped No. 19 UCLA jump back into the game. Three-pointers by Knight, Watson and Kapono helped pull the Bruins within eight.
Watson said once Kapono started finding his mark, it opened his game up, too.
"Jason and myself had good chemistry with each other," Watson said. "We know we need to be a scoring punch from the outside so we can open up play inside for T.J. (Cummings) and Dan
The Bruins may be far from meeting those goals, but they almost achieved another one — hunting down the Jayhawks.
Kapono said although three-point shooting kept the team in the game, it was also its biggest nemesis in creating the early deficit.
"We just needed to come out playing more solid because we came out too flashy," Kapono said. "I jacked a three (on the first possession) and started going crazy fast. Things like that add up to being down by 16, and then you're always climbing back."
UCLA continued climbing, though. Kapono nailed two more threes, and Watson added a second by halftime, leaving the Bruins down by six.
The firing squad continued shooting in the second half, including Kapono hitting three more from behind the arc. He hit six of nine
trey attempts for the night, and Watson was on target on three of six attempts. For the night, UCLA shot 54.2 percent from three-point range.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he hoped his team didn't often face a team as deadly from long range.
"They were seven-for-nine from three-point range in the second half, and we'll hopefully not face that again this season," Williams said.
A calf cramp midway through the second half wasn't enough to stop Watson. He spent just 46 seconds on the bench before returning.
Following Kansas junior guard Jeff Boschee's game-clinching free throws with 3.2 seconds remaining, Watson nailed a three from just inside half court as time expired.
UCLA coach Steve Lavin said he felt bad for his players.
"I'm disappointed for our players because they competed their fannies off," Lavin said. "They played hard, defended OK and shot very well. Earl was tremendous."
Red Storm awaits Jayhawks
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
NEW YORK— On Wednesday, St. John's coach Mike Jarvis and Kansas coach Roy Williams traded barbs at a press conference.
Tomorrow, they'll do battle on the basketball court.
Following a bizarre meet-the-media event at the New York City Stock Exchange in which Jarvis jokingly called Williams "old" and Williams retorted by making fun of the young age of Jarvis' wife, the Jayhawks and the Red Storm prepare to duel for the championship of the Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic.
any film of the Red Storm before last night's game against UCLA.
"If the players) can tell you who will start, they can tell you more than I can," Williams said. "Because I have not looked at one second of film."
Although the two coaches apparently know each other well, the two teams may not be quite as familiar. Kansas and St. John's haven't met since 1989, when the Jayhawks prevailed 66-57.
Adding to the unfamiliarity is the fact the 'Hawks won't start preparing for the Red Storm until this afternoon, just hours before game time. The only slight edge the Red Storm may have is Jarvis coached Kansas junior forward Nick Collision on the USA Basketball Men's Select team during the summer.
In fact, Williams didn't look at
Collison and the Kansas front line will be a main point of emphasis for Jarvis, who said he was impressed with the size of the Kansas forwards and center Eric Chenowith.
"You've got two choices when you go against size," Jarvis said. "You can try and match up size for size, and that's very difficult to do unless your big men are as good as theirs. Or you can go small and
make them match up to you. We'll probably do a little of both."
The Red Storm, meanwhile, will be riding an emotional high after downing Kentucky last night, 62-61. St. John's never held the lead until five seconds to go, when forward Anthony Glover was fouled on a layup attempt and hit the ensuing free throw for the winning margin.
Adding to the emotion, St. John's will be playing on its home court in front of what will certainly be a hostile crowd.
"St. John's will definitely have the crowd behind them, so it will be tough," said Collison.
Of course, the two teams do have a history. The Clyde Lovellette-led Jayhawks downed St. John's 80-53 to capture the 1952 NCAA title.
The consolation game, played right before the Kansas-St. John's affair, will feature the Wildcats against the UCLA Bruins. That game will start at 5:30 p.m.

New city bus service to launch next month
Bv Matt Merkel-Hess
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The new Lawrence Transit System will begin rolling Saturday, Dec. 16.
Last week, 11 of the 12 leased city buses arrived. Training has begun with the transit provider, MV Transportation, 930 E. 30th St.
Karin Rexroad, Lawrence public transit administrator, said MV was in the process of hiring full- and part-time employees for the bus system.
"It's just a very good feeling that we finally have all the pieces in place and we're going to be able to offer this service to the citizens of Lawrence." she said.
Rexroad said the Lawrence Transit would compliment and enhance KU on Wheels.
She said the student usage would probably be slow during winter break, but she expected more student riders next semester.
"In the future, it's obviously going to open opportunities to students to go places they can't go with KU on Wheels," she said.
LAWRENCE TRANSIT SYSTEM
the Lawrence Transit System, which
starting in a month, will:
provide eight fixed routes and paratransit (off-route, on-demand) service. One route will go from downtown, through campus and to the South Iront Street shopping area.
run from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Monday through Friday, and 7
a.m. to 8 a.m. Saturday
cost 50 cents for patrons ages 6 through 60
cost 25 cents for ages 60 and older and disabled riders
be free for children younger than 6
cost $1 for nontransit rides
The Lawrence Transit System will have eight fixed routes and will operate from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. Saturday. Rexroad said changes in time of service could be made, depending on demand.
Holly Krebs, KU on Wheels coordinator, said that the city's later night hours and Saturday service would be beneficial to students and
that Saferide already gave students an option for late-night transportation.
"I think that the city is recognizing that this is a startup system and they don't want to overextend themselves," she said. "They aren't ruling out the possibility of doing a night system somewhere down the road. They're not sure how the regular system is going to work."
The city will operate the system with the 12 leased buses until the city's buses are delivered, starting with two buses in July.
There will also be a companion service for paratransit riders, similar to the current on-demand service provided by Kaw Regional Transit. MV Transportation will certify eligibility for the paratransit service, which provides off-route and on-demand rides.
The Lawrence Transit System will cost 50 cents per ride for passengers 6 years and older, 25 cents for riders with disabilities and those older than 60, and $1 for paratransit. Children younger than 6 will ride for free.

Candidates marshal legal forces in Florida
The Associated Press
The legal skirmishing quickened yesterday in the overtime race for the White House as Republicans warned that painstaking recounts in Democratic-dominated counties expose Florida to political "mischief" and human error. Democrats said they expected America's next president would be determined "in a matter of days — not weeks, not months."
Updated voting figures in Florida gave Republican George W. Bush a 284-vote margin out of some 6 million votes cast with recounts underway in four jurisdictions. Democrat Al Gore leads in the nationwide popular vote, but the Electoral College tally is so close that whoever takes Florida almost certainly will win.
Bush's legal team planned to argue today before a Clinton-appointed judge that manual recounts in only four of 67 counties would constitute unequal treatment under the 14th Amendment. Baker suggested Democrats who controlled the four counties could play favorites.
Both parties previewed their legal strategies for a federal court hearing tomorrow on Bush's request to block manual recounts. Top Bush adviser James A. Baker III described the five-day Florida standoff as "a black mark on our democracy and on our process."
If Bush fails to win an injunction against the manual counts, a prospect even GOP officials say is likely, his next step would be fateful. Senior strategists say Bush is likely to seek recounts in some GOP-dominated Florida counties if the Gore-backed recounts and overseas baloting put him in danger of losing the lead.
Baker threatened to demand recounts in close-voting states won by Gore, such as Iowa, Wisconsin, Oregon — or too-close-to-call New Mexico.
However, Bush would have to win Oregon, Iowa, New Mexico and Wisconsin to claim the White House without Florida — a long shot given that Gore is leading by
FLORIDA RECOUNT
What's next: Recounts pending, overseas ballots are due at Florida election offices by midnight Friday. State officials plan to count them quickly but have not announced a deadline.
5. 000 or more votes in all these states but New Mexico
What happened: Updated voting figures in Florida yesterday gave Republican George W. Bush a 288-vote margin out of about 6 million votes cast. Recounts supported by Democrat Al Gore are still underway in four counties. The Bush camp plans to argue today in Miami before a federal judge that manual recounts in four of 67 counties would constitute unequal treatment under the 14th Amendment.
What it means: The judge will consider the Bush campaign's request for a court order blocking the manual recounts from continuing in Florida's close vote. Gore leads in the nationwide popular vote, but the winner of the state will most likely gain an electoral college majority to become the nation's 43rd president.
If Gore still trails when those totals are published, he might be inclined to concede.
Not counting the Sunshine State, Bush carried 29 states for 246 electoral votes. Gore, who added Oregon to his column on Friday, counted 19 states plus the District of Columbia for 262 electoral votes, with 270 needed for victory. Bush led in New Mexico, but the state remained too close to call. Its five electoral votes would not be decisive.
Overseas ballots are due at Florida election offices by midnight Friday. State officials plan to count them quickly but have not announced a schedule.
"We're not talking about a long delay here," said Warren Christopher, former secretary of state in the Clinton administration, said. "I think it's a matter of days — not weeks, not months — but days before we reach a result.

Students use online resources to find relationships
By Meghan Bainum
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Mike Davis wasn't looking for much when he logged onto his computer and directed his browser to Yahoo.
Maybe it was the late hour. Maybe it was the tinge in the air. Davis said he had used Yahoo many times before, but he decided to try something a little different with the site.
He decided to look for women.
"I was bored," Davis, Wichita senior, said. "I just decided to look through the personals."
Although Davis said he never had trouble approaching women in person, he was intrigued by the online world of possibilities at his fingertips.
What he found when he looked through the personal ads from women all around the Lawrence and Kansas City area was an ad from me.
He found that I, a curious student looking to procrastinate and maybe
meet some men in the process, had posted a personal ad a week earlier. For some reason, something in the ad caught his eye, and he decided to respond.
We met in person a couple of emails and phone calls later.
Now, Davis savs. we are dating.
"It stopped being an Internet relationship after the first couple of days we hung out," he said. "We're dating now. I'm interested to see where it leads."

Senate instrumental in bus debut
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Editor's note: This is the first of a five-part series this week examining whether Student Senate has an impact on average students' lives.
In one month, students will get the citywide public transportation they asked for during the April 1999 Student Senate elections.
Holly Krebs, campus transportation coordinator, said Senate played a key role as a liaison between students and city officials in the process that began with discussions and will end with 12 leased city buses rolling on Dec. 16.
"We, as students, came in at a really good time when the issue was really ripe," Krebs said. "Everything just came together at one point in time. Citizens, city commission candidates and students were all talking about it at the same time."
on the issue.
The public transportation question has been an ongoing saga in the Lawrence community. Senate's involvement came in the form of a resolution and a student referendum

much in support of this." Krebs said. "We have been representing a quarter of the town."
She said when the citywide bus system became a reality. Senate should continue to serve as a communication link between the city and students.
Does Student SENATE make a difference
"Our role after this will be to make sure that the system serves students well and eventually will be coordinated with KU on Wheels so it is convenient and serves all of students' needs," Krebs said.
Erin Simpson, off campus senator and member of the transportation task force, said although the drive within Senate to get a citywide bus system was spurred by a few people. Senate as a whole lent more credibility to their efforts.
"Holly Krebs and Nicole Skalla (former campus transportation coordinator) had the force of personality, but as individual citizens they couldn't have gotten it done." Simpson said. "The fact that they ran a bus service, which no one in the city was doing at time, helped their credibility."
City Commissioner Marty Kennedy, mayor in April 1999 when students passed the referendum supporting a citywide bus system, said although a bus system was a city priority anyway. Senate played an important role in the plans coming to fruition.
"We really appreciate their participation in the process," he said. "The information they gave us was very valuable because they represent a large part of the community."

Kansan wins prestigious college journalism award
The University Daily Kansan won an award Saturday considered by many to be the top prize in college journalism.
The Associated Collegiate Press awarded a 2000 Pacemaker Award, often called the Pulitzer Prize of college journalism, to the Kansan at a convention in Washington, D.C.
Papers were judged on overall quality of selected issues from the last academic year. The Kansan competed against other daily newspapers at four-year schools. Five other newspapers also won Pacemakers in that category.
The Kansan won four national Pacemaker awards in the 1990s but had not won one since 1995.
"This is a tribute to all the people on staff last year," said Nathan Willis, Kansan editor. "It takes a lot of good people to put together an outstanding paper. Many of them from last year are still on staff, but many are not, and it's too bad they don't get to see this reward for their hard work. We hope we're continuing and building on the tradition of quality they established."
The other five newspapers to receive awards in the four-year, daily category were the student newspapers of Kansas State University. Indiana University, Ball State University, the University of Iowa and Oklahoma State University.

Food will be served. There will also be a workshop for students to discuss hunger and poverty.
This year's event would focus on global rather than local issues, said Heather Greene, Lawrence senior and co-coordinator of Concerned, Active and Aware Students.
"Hopefully, students will become more aware of global economic issues such as unequal distribution of wealth and resources in the world market, while also keeping in mind that hunger and homelessness affect us on a local level as well," she said.
Greene said last year's event had about 30 participants. She said that she hoped to improve participation this year but that the quality of discussion and exchange of ideas were of primary importance.

U.S. Jews have chance to strengthen Israeli ties
CHICAGO — A gathering of Jewish leaders from around the world once intended to celebrate the Middle East peace process — has become a forum for U.S. Jews to show their allegiance to Israel, organizers said yesterday.
The General Assembly of United Jewish Communities, which runs through Wednesday, is "ground zero for North American Jews at a time when we stand to show solidarity with Israel," said Michael Kotzin, a local Jewish Federation official.
With violence continuing between Israelis and Palestinians in the West Bank, Gaza Strip and Israel, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak was scheduled to address about 5,000 people at a conference-sponsored rally today.

Clinton plans visit to Vietnam
WASHINGTON — During the Vietnam War, a youthful Bill Clinton denounced the draft and avoided military service. Now, in the waning days of his presidency, he will become the first U.S. president to visit communist Vietnam since the end of a war that divided America.
The Associated Press
As a college student, Clinton wrote a paper that called Selective Service "illegitimate." At age 54, the two-term president is playing conciliator, helping Vietnam further end its isolation and participate in the global economy.
"It's a step to heal wounds that have not healed within our country, remove rifts that still divide," said Douglas Eakeley, a classmate of Clinton's at Britain's Oxford University where Clinton protested the war.
Eakeley suggested it was good the United States was sending to Vietnam a leader who had not
participated in a war in which 58,000 Americans and about 3 million Vietnamese died.
"In some ways, it helps the reconciliation process," he said.
It will involve talks about a trade agreement both governments still must approve, human rights and unfinished business from the war, which ended when communist forces captured the capital of South Vietnam on April 30, 1975. At that time, Clinton was teaching law at the University of Arkansas.
The president's three-day visit that begins Thursday is largely symbolic.
Nearly two decades later, when Clinton became president, America still had neither trade nor diplomatic relations with Vietnam. Under Clinton's watch, a trade embargo ended in 1994, diplomatic relations were restored in 1985 and the first postwar American ambassador — former POW Douglas "Pete" Peterson — set up residence in Hanoi.

Sophomore runner qualifies for Boston race in New York
By Leita Schultes writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Sometimes a few minutes can make all the difference — iust ask Melissa Strader.
Strader didn't expect to qualify.
On Nov. 5, the Wellington freshman ran in the New York Marathon and qualified for the Boston Marathon, registering a time of three hours, 38 minutes and nine seconds. The cutoff for her age group was 3:40.
She said while running the eighth mile she did not think that she would finish. But the next thing she knew, she was at mile 18 and decided to speed up for the last leg of the 26.2 mile race.
Crowd support helped her keep going.
"I was just excited to finish, and I wanted to qualify for Boston," she said.
"You don't really even notice that you're running that far," she said, "the streets are crammed the whole 26.2 miles." She also said that spectators yelled encouragement and called out the names printed on the
out the names printed on the
hacks of the runners' shirts
backs of the Runners shifts.
New York's was actually Strader's second marathon.
In June she ran a marathon in San Diego with her roommate, Stacy Fagan, also a Wellington freshman. The two women have run together since seventh grade.
Fagan said people thought the two were crazy and often asked why they ran.
P. L. H.
"We say, 'We enjoy it,'" she said.
Strider; will run as many as 50 miles a week for training
Fagan said she ran marathons because she liked
the sense of accomplishment and excitement from the crowd. She's planning to run another in early spring and hopes to also qualify for Boston, which is in April 2001.
Although Fagan did not run in New York, Strader's mother did. Strader said 100,000 people applied for the marathon, but only 30,000 were picked by lottery to run.
Once the race began, the two split up.
But though Strader ran the more competitive race, she said recreation was still her motive to train and compete.
"It's real relaxing to me," she said, adding that as an art and design major running was a good way to come up with ideas. "It's a good way to clear your mind when you get stressed out."
Strader said she planned to keep training for the Boston Marathon, which means she'll start out at 20 miles each week and build to 50 — a time commitment comparable to another three-credit class and all its homework.
At her peak, Strader runs four to eight miles each weekday and 12 to 22 on the weekends, tapering down the last few weeks before the race
Strader said she had no plans to stop running and she would like to qualify for the Boston Marathon in every division — all the way up to age 90.
"I think running's good for you and it's something I enjoy," she said.

STATEMENT OF RENTAL POLICY
GAIN
There is no gain in this transaction because the premises are occupied and there are no payments made for them.
PAYMENT
There is no payment in this transaction because the premises are occupied and there are no payments made for them.
EQUAL RIGHTS
There are equal rights in the possession of the premises, regardless of whether the property is owned or rented.
TO Witness I May Contend:
On the seventh of October of 2000, I moved my rental deposit two an expressive assertion. Following the payment of the bill, I received the STATUTE landlord's gift. Thank you for your kindness! You were not accustomed to a co-owner. Cash was not accepted as a co-owner.
After writing my permission, I asked Bertie Flake, I precluded to leasehold the premises on the right-hand side. The notice was very disapproachable and professional when it increased my concern that there would be no parking for the premises there than there. After a memorable time, I realized that the agreement became unlikely. After the situation would be taken care of, that acceded to be the end of action for me. My permission also required my attention and I reported Room Use for place for me. Hence, if the area posted do not have any sort of Bertie Flake permission, I furnished it. If I furnished it should be tented that approved, and it was before a date, I took responsibility for the parking arrangement in the back of the walk. I furnished it is timely, and Bertie Flake please properly.
I will provide the more general about my car being loved, hear the loss. It made me need and enjoy both the profession and nothing was visibly done to comply with it. I personally pay my rent every month, and feel a strong part of the profession did not have any sort of Bertie Flake permission, I furnished it. If I furnished it should be tented that approved, and it was before a date, I took responsibility for the parking arrangement in the back of the walk. I furnished it is timely, and Bertie Flake please properly.
The paying move has been addressed by tenant and needs to be resolved immediately.
Sincerely,
[Signature]

Apartment parking lacking
Nonresidents limit available spaces at Berkeley Flats
By Rob Pazell
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Raymond DuVale stood in the parking lot of Berkeley Flats apartment complex at 8:30 a.m. Saturday Oct. 21 before the Colorado football game at neighboring Memorial Stadium.
He wasn't standing outside to watch the band or tailgate. He was saving his and fellow residents' parking spaces.
"A lot of people were parking there that didn't have property affiliation — neither a guest nor a tenant," DuVale said. "Some of them said they had been parking here for the past three games."
DuVale has lived at Berkeley Flats, 1123 Indiana St. just east of Memorial Stadium, since 1998. He said there had been problems with nonresidents parking in the lots both on school days and game days because of the apartments' location near the KU campus.
Those problems prompted management at Berkeley Flats to issue new
parking permits.
Mandy Whitehead, general manager of Berkeley Flats and Trailridge Apartments, 2500 W. 6th St., said management issued the new passes, which are colored stickers with residents' apartment numbers on them, because the previous passes weren't working.
"We had parking passes which were black and white paper but people would just photocopy them," Whitehead said. "They weren't as effective as we wanted them to be so we ordered new ones."
She said the new parking passes were available, but they weren't going to enforce a tow away rule until all the residents with vehicles had registered their cars with the office and picked up their passes.
But it took all semester to get the permits in. Now that the final home football game has been played, the residents can pick up their permits.
When DuVale couldn't get an answer, he took his own actions to remedy the problem. He began a petition — which he didn't give to management because the permits finally arrived — signed by residents who were also aware of the problem.
"One hundred percent of the people who were presented the petition signed it," he said.
Jessica Zahn, Berkeley Flats resident
"If you leave during the day, especially during classes,you know there won't be a spot.In the morning it's really bad."
Jessica Zahn
Berkeley Flats resident and Wamego junior
and Wamego junior, said the parking situation was frustrating.
"If you leave during the day, especially during classes, you know there won't be a spot," she said. "In the morning its really bad."
Zahn, like DuVale, voiced her complaints to the office numerous times.
Whitehead said Berkeley Flats had an open parking policy which did not assign a specific space for residents.
"If someone chooses to leave, game day or not, they're not necessarily guaranteed their spot," she said.
DuVale said he stopped his petitioning because the parking permits were now available, but it was still a problem until everyone received their passes.
"I'm in a watchdog position here now," he said. "Right now I'm waiting to see what happens."

FDA may ban drug linked with strokes
By Melissa Davis
writer@kansan.som
Kansan staff writer
Phenylpropanolamine, or PPA, can be found in over-the-counter drugs like Dexatrim, Alka Seltzer and Robitussim.
Last month the Food and Drug Administration said a drug found in many cough suppressants and diet drugs had been linked with hemorrhagic stroke, which is bleeding in the brain.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said college students were at a high risk, especially during the cold and flu season.
"These questions weren't raised looking at elders but healthy young adults, which reflects on the student population," he said.
Rock said the drug was widespread because it was once thought to be helpful.
"One reason PPA drugs are so commonly present is because it was thought to be beneficial and relatively safe," he said. "But new studies and reports suggest the risks outweigh the benefits."
The FDA is expected to prohibit the use of the drug in nonprescription medicines after reports found a significant increase in hemorrhagic strokes in both appetite suppressant users and first-time users of cough/cold remedies containing the drug.
The FDA now estimates that PPA was responsible for 200 to 500 strokes a year among 18- to 49-year-olds, many of whom were women.
The Office of Post-Marketing Drug Risk Assessment said the drug affected the central nervous system to decrease appetite and relieve nasal congestion by reducing the swelling of blood vessels in the nose.
Rock said he had never seen a patient because of this and that the chance of stroke was small. However, he and Watkins recommend people use alternative drug products.
For any questions or concerns or for more information about alternative drugs, contact Watkins at 864-9500.

Students dance night away for fund-raiser
Bv J.D. McKee
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students danced it up on Friday night to help raise money for Habitat for Humanity, an organization that sells homes on an interest-free mortgage to area residents in financial need.
The Panhellenic and Interfraternity councils sponsored a dance-a-thon to raise money to help build a house for a local family as part of their House that Greeks Built project.
Graham Heaven, community service director for the Interfraternity Council and Shawnee junior, said it was a benefit to have a centralized event to raise the money.
"In the past we've had many little events to raise money," he said. "It definitely added to the experience to have a centralized fund-raiser."
Mandy Pitler, community service director for Panhellenic and Wichita senior, said the goal
About 45 couples attended the event and paid $80 per pair, all of which went to Habitat. The councils also raised money through donations collected in sorority and fraternity houses.
was to raise between $8,000 and $10,000 to go toward the house in Lawrence, which will cost about $45,000 to build. Although they fell short of that goal, raising just more than $6,000, all of that money will go to Habitat.
Andre Ballaert, director of the Lawrence chapter of Habitat for Humanity, said the dance-a-thon was the beginning of a campaign Habitat for Humanity would work on with both councils.
"The goal is to build a minimum of one house a year," Ballaert said. "I think they can raise enough money for two this year."
Heaven also thought the goal was possible.
Heaven also thought the goal was possible. "I think we have the potential to build two houses," he said. "It all depends on how big KU's heart is on this cause."
The dance started at 5 p.m. and lasted six hours. Students won prizes based on dancing the entire six hours, how enthusiastically they danced and how much money they raised for the cause outside of their entrance fee. Prizes included gift certificates to Blockbuster Video, restaurants and round-trip tickets from Vanguard Airlines to anywhere in the United States.
Several dance groups, such as the KU Ballroom Dancers and the Crimson Girls, taught various dance styles throughout the night. Music ranging from hip-hop to swing was played.
"Every single group that came in was strictly on a volunteer basis." Heaven said. "This wouldn't be what it is without them."
Effie Presswood, recipient of the House that Greeks Built last year, spoke to students about how happy her family was to have the house built for them.
"It wouldn't be possible without their help," she said.
Presswood said she was impressed with the number of students who came.
"Especially on a Friday night when they could be doing something else," she said.
"They don't have to dance continuously, but it's set up so they will." Pitler said.
Melanie Burgess, Kansas City, Mo., senior, said she enjoyed Presswood's speech.

"It pumped everyone up," she said. "It had a big impact."

Election raises critical issues for Bush, Gore
Ideally feel for both George W. Bush and Al Gore. Whoover of them takes office — and as I write this, the issue is still in doubt — a large percentage of the population will view them as an illegitimate usurper who only stole the office by means of technicalities and dirty tricks. What a stain on your record before you've even taken office!
For the loser, it will be even worse.
If Gore wins, put yourself in Bush's shoes -- forever remembering that golden moment late Tuesday night when the networks had declared him the winner, the newspapers were printing "BUSH ELECTED," the champagne was flowing and the nations of the world were calling to congratulate him. For one brief moment, he was the president-
elect of the United States. To have that snatched away...
— how could you ever recover from that? Worse, the person responsible for the ballots was a Democrat. Theresa Lepore.
Lepore's inept performance — approving a ballot that violates Florida election law is no credit to the Democratic Party. She may have single-handedly changed American history by her negligence.
And how much worse will it be for Gore? Only a partisan or a fool would believe that a district of elderly Jewish voters backed Buchanan in those numbers. The ballots were confusing and misleading because we know for a fact that many voters, by their own panicked admission, were confused and misled. To be denied victory even
while winning the popular vote — and, had the ballots been in order, the electoral vote
There are lessons to be learned here.

There are no signs that either Bush or Gore knowingly contributed to the fiasco in Florida. Both men are, in the end, the victims of this. Each will be hurt by this gross miscarriage of democracy, to lesser or greater extent.
There are lessons to be learned here. First, that leaving the election of federal officials in the hands of literally hundreds of local counties across the nation is a recipe for corruption, incompetence and disaster. Reports that African-American voters in the panhandle were defrauded and turned away did not surprise me. I also wouldn't be surprised if I were told that the machines of large urban areas had stuffed boxes or defrauded voters. Federal elections should be handled federally, with a standardized ballot for the entire nation and vigilant oversight.
Second, the electoral college system needs a long, hard look. Even if it is retained, it should be reformed. The very fact that electors are not legally bound to vote the way their voters tell them is a frightening hole in our democracy and one that should be patched. An 18th-century electoral system has no place in a 21st-century election.
Third, the news networks and their pollsters need a lesson in responsibility and civics. On Tuesday, I watched Florida change colors like a traffic light. Bush was actually declared as the winner while the election was in doubt; Florida was handed to both parties and retracted each time. A bemused Tom Brokaw made one of the great lines of the night: "Well, folks, the networks givev, and the networks taketh away." Perhaps the networks should not be so free with their gifts.
Last, it behooves us all to remain calm and support the electoral process. This may mean that the vote will have to be counted yet again by hand, or even retaken. We should not shy away from this. The candidate who truly won, whoever he may be, need having nothing to fear in a Palm Beach revote. If he truly did carry the area the first time, he will undoubtedly do so the second — the voters are the same. The only difference that could emerge would be due to the process having been derailed the first time and the will of the people denied. And that is something that all of us, Democrats or Republicans, should guard against.

Perspective
Mainstream music denies listeners of enlightenment
Radiohead's Thom Yorke has said that much of modern rock radio, especially in America, is unoriginal and boring. I tend to agree with Yorke, and my conclusion was further confirmed after the music died in Lawrence last year, with the change in format of a local radio station. Many die-hard modern/alternative rock fans may scout me at when I say that I liked the old LAZER. But I know that many of my friends also did. However, now we're all glad the format
changed — we have a new love at 90.7 on the FM dial.
Enter KJHK.
I hope these letters are familiar to KU students. KJHJK is the student-run radio station on campus. KJHJK is well known across the nation as the first radio station to broadcast live on the Internet, which allows many alumni who get withdraw from finding out about recent KU news to listen in from a distance. I know that my cousin loves the broadcasts of KU sporting events that

tainment, something that not many other stations in the area offer. Not many of us can relate to what radio used to be like in the early 1900s. The radio was the centerpiece in many family rooms, not the television, it hadn't even been conceived yet. The Feng Shui of the time would allow house wives to accommodate guests while they huddled around this little noise box to listen not only to music but also news, comedy shows and sports. I am no historian, but somewhere along the timeline radio made the switch from multidimensional entertainment to bland formats with a single concentration.
Sports, jazz, hip-hop, talk and rock — the spectrum is almost fully covered all in one package at KJHK. Commercial-driven radio has gone away from this concept of diverse programming because of profits made on advertising. Advertisers are more than willing to shell out big bucks for ad space on a radio station that fits their demographic.
Possibly one of the most annoying sayings on the radio is the obligatory "30 minutes of commercial-free rock," or the "no talk, no commercial hour of music." Radio stations aren't about bringing you music anymore; it's about keeping you listening long enough so you'll here Company X's ad. I encourage you to listen critically next time you turn on the radio. You already own that Britney Spears CD. Do you really have to sit through commercials and music that sound the same just so you can hear "Oops, I did it again..." for a cheap thrill?
Expand your horizons; turn on a meaningful station. Sure, you may not know who the Chainsaw Kittens are, or you may not like the Wu-Tang Clan. But you may find that the versatile sounds emanating from your radio are a nice change from your regular radio station. Let's get back to appreciating what our grandparents had going for them: quality radio.

Editorial
Close races show voters' importance
Presidential contest makes convincing case for an active electorate.
Nov. 7, 2000 will go down in American history as the date of one of the most amazing and exciting elections ever. Those who partook in the process should be proud, and those who did not should be ashamed that they abandoned their civic duty, for in this election every vote did count.
A look at various races proves just how historic this election was. The popular vote in the presidential race was the closest since 1960, and although it is difficult to draw any firm conclusions, a third-party candidate could have cost a major-party candidate the election, an infrequent occurrence in American politics. Even less frequent is a difference between winners of the electoral and popular vote, as may happen in this election.
Other races set precedents. A sitting First Lady won a Senate seat. In Missouri, a deceased governor was elected to the Senate. Although legal questions still surround the election, the outcome was truly astounding.
This election proved once and for all that every vote does count and that those who sacrificed their right to vote could alter the results. Those Kansas residents who chose not to vote because Kansas has only six electoral votes and historically goes Republican should realize that small states can have influence, and surprise shifts in political behavior can occur. West Virginia is traditionally Democratic and should have been safe territory for Gore this year, but instead Bush captured the state's five electoral votes. New Hampshire, Arkansas, and Nevada were all small tossup states that contributed to Bush's vote count, making the race that much closer.
Statistics suggest that this election saw only a minuscule increase in voter turnout. For an election as close and important as this one, that is disappointing. To those who abdicated their right to vote, this should be a lesson. They missed out on contributing to a very thrilling process.

Mentor program helps ease transfer for Haskell students
Bv Jennifer Valadez
Kansan staff writer
Students transferring from Haskell Indian Nations University will receive a helping hand from departments at the University of Kansas.
Staff from the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center and the Office of Admissions and Scholarships will go to Haskell Wednesday to assist and advise students in their transfers to KU.
The advising is part of the Haskell Mentor Program, which began at the advising center four years ago.
"It was developed to satisfy the need to assist students from Haskell in successfully transferring to KU in their first year," said Gloria Flores, director of the program and associate director for the center.
She said the transfer students were provided with a mentor during their first year at the University. The mentor could be a center staff member or student who had previously made the transition from Haskell.
"At the request of the student, we can seek out a faculty member who can also assist them," Flores said.
She said a Student Senate Educational Opportunity Fund grant provided the new students with $150-book scholarships.
"We provide some financial support because a lot of Haskell students don't have to pay as much for school," Flores said. "It's quite a drastic change coming to KU. It's a bigger jump financially, so we try to ease that in their first semester."
expected to attend the University next fall.
Flores said 13 students transferred from Haskell last year and three transfers were
Lisa Beck, assistant director of admissions and scholarships, said she would attend the advising day at Haskell. She handles transfer recruitment for the office.
Flores said she was looking for ways to expand and improve the mentor program to provide more resources throughout the year for the new students.
"This is my first time going out there for the program," she said. "I'm hoping to help the students transfer to KU smoothly."
"We would like to provide additional scholarships for the future, so we're looking for more sponsorship and grants," she said. "We hope to have more programs that may assist them, such as workshops that they may benefit from, that will help them in their transition."

Reporter finds love through the Internet
Continued from page 1A
It's definitely a 21st-century romance, but something that is still a little bit taboo and creepy for many people.
Davis said his friends couldn't believe he went online to find his latest dating interest.
"My friends made royal fun of me," he said. "They just couldn't believe I'd met a girl off the Internet. They though it was kind of sad."
Despite the negative stereotypes, more and more college students are turning to online ways of finding love.
This follows a trend in the rise of home computer and Internet popularity.
According to a study in American Psychologist, the journal for the American Psychology Association, more and more people are using the Internet.
In 1998, about 40 percent of all S. households owned a personal computer. About one third of those homes also had Internet hookups.
The University computer labs and ethernet hookups in campus housing provide KU students with easy ways to get turned on to other people online.
Many students like Stacey Love, Overland Park senior, look to the Internet to meet friends — romantic or not.
She said she had met people from all around the world in chat rooms and through personal ads. She
said, despite many stereotypes, the people she met were usually fun, sane and exactly who they said they were.
"It's just a bunch of people who don't know people in the area," Love said. "It's a great way to get to know somebody or talk to somebody."
Ann Brill, associate professor of journalism who specializes in online journalism, said Internet relationships were not much different than relationships that started in person. And, generally, they had the same problems and successes as other relationships.
"I've heard stories about how things turn out OK," she said. "I also heard stories where things didn't turn out so well, but those
are situations you hear about in other getting-to-know-you situations, too."
Brill said she knew several people, including her niece, who had married or were getting married to people they originally met on the Internet.
But even though Davis' foray into the world of Internet dating has turned out moderately successful so far, he warned people not to take things from online to real world too quickly.
"You hear all these horror stories about people meeting all these weird freaks," he said. "If you have them come to your house they may stay longer than you would like."

Fumes delay Austrian cable car recovery effort
The Associated Press
KAPRUN, Austria — Relatives and friends who had waited through the night in this Alpine village began to get word yesterday whether their loved ones were among the dead in a cable car fire that killed about 170 people in a mountain tunnel.
With the village hall draped in black and candles burning on shop steps, shattered townfolk gathered in the Kaprun church for Sunday Mass. As they mourned, emergency crews tried to reach the spot where scores of people, many children and teenagers, were killed
Saturday by smoke and flames.
"We understand Christ's wail on the cross; 'My God, why have you forsaken me?' priest Peter Hofer said in his sermon.
Others gave thanks after realizing their loved ones were safe.
"My son is, thank God, all right," said Gottfried Nindl. His boy had planned to go on the cable car with his friends, but didn't because they had slept too late.
The car, pulled on rails underground for most of the 3,200 yards up the Kitzsteinhorn mountain to a glacier region, stopped, blazing, about 600 yards inside a mountain tunnel Saturday morning. The
cause of the fire has not been determined.
Rescuers could not reach the victims as the fire raged on. Passengers tried to flee through the deep tunnel, but most were felled by the thick smoke and flames. Eighteen people survived, mainly by fleeing downwards in the tunnel where the smoke was thinner.
It was still unclear how many people were in the cable car, but it was believed it had a capacity of 180 people and was full.
The retrieval of the bodies was delayed by toxic fumes inside the tunnel and the need to secure the charred car. Chief firefighter
Anton Brandauer said the tunnel was now almost smoke-free and the retrieval of the bodies could begin.
But as night rolled in, other officials said the accident site remained too dangerous, suggesting recovery efforts could be delayed until today.
Once the remains of the victims are brought into town, authorities plan to set up a large tent in the town center where relatives and friends can say final farewells.
Authorities said yesterday they had identified 155 of the victims with near certainty. Among them were 52 Austrians, 42 Germans, 10 Japanese, eight Americans, two
Slovenes and a Croat. Authorities had not yet established the nationalities of the remaining 40 people.
The victims were identified by eliminating those who had returned alive from a list of 2,500 people who had taken the cable car up the slope before the fire.
Three U.S. army personnel were confirmed among the dead. The Americans were part of a group of mostly military personnel from Wuerzburg, Germany, and their families, said Maj. Drew Stathis, a member of the group.
Erik Buxbaum, Austria's public security chief, said the fire may have started before the cable car disappeared into the mountainside.
couple and a man and his son.
"We have received information that the light of a fire was already visible to outside witnesses as the train was entering the tunnel," he said.
Buxbaum said when the car operator noticed the blaze, it was too late. Other officials later said it appeared the fire broke out at the rear end of the cable car.
The Austrian government declared Saturday and yesterday national days of mourning.
USS Cole bombing suspect detailed
The Associated Press
ADEN, Yemen — Last month's deadly USS Cole attack was masterminded by an Arab man who telephoned the bombers from the United Arab Emirates, a source close to the investigation said yesterday.
A suspect now in detention in Yemen said the attackers received their instructions and finances from the Arab man, a veteran of the 1800s Afghan war against the Soviets, said the source, speaking on condition of anonymity. He did not give the man's nationality.
The detained suspect admitted to purchasing the attack boat used in the bombing in the Emirates, said the source. He also bought a video
camera to record the attack, but got nervous and left the city the day before the Oct. 12 boat bombing, the Yemeni source added.
The source did not say if the suspect met the mastermind while he was in the Emirates. He said the group worked in small cells of two or three people, and many suspects did not know each other.
Suicide bombers in a small, explosives-laden boat apparently approached the Cole while it was refueling in Aden harbor and detonated the explosives, ripping a 40-foot-by-40-foot hole in the steel hull. The blast killed 17 American sailors and injured 39.
Yesterday, the London-based Arabic-language newspaper Asharq Al-Awsat published a statement by
Rifai Ahmed Taha, a former leader of the Egyptian Al-Gamma'al-Islamiya (Islamic Group), that said the boat used in the attack was locally made and powered by an engine cannibalized from a farm tractor.
Taha said the operation cost between $5,000 and $10,000.
About 60 suspects remained behind bars after more than 20 were released, the official said on condition of anonymity. Police on Friday jailed an Islamic Jihad suspect they had been pursuing since Tuesday. The suspect escaped from jail in 1993
The debris and the car that pulled the boat to the port were shipped yesterday to the United States for further forensic tests, a Yemeni official said.
after being convicted of blowing up two Aden hotels frequented by foreigners.
The Islamic Jihad was formed by Arab veterans of the Afghan war and is linked to Osama bin Laden, America's ton terror suspect.
The Yemen official said American investigators were allowed this week to interview witnesses and to show composite sketches to suspects and ewitnesses.
Reports in the U.S. media have suggested strained relations between the FBI and the State Department over how far to push the Yemeni government for increased access to suspects and sources. Some FBI officials reportedly believe that some evidence may implicate high-ranking Yemeni officials.
OPEC offers no relief for soaring oil prices
The Associated Press
VIENNA, Austria - OPEC will hold oil production steady until cartel members meet again in January to assess crude prices. Kuwait's oil minister said yesterday, offering little hope of relief for consumers buffeted by soaring oil prices.
Sheik Saud Nasser al-Sabah of Kuwait made the announcement after an informal meeting of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, whose every word and action is scrutinized regarding how it will affect the price of crude, which is hovering near 10-year highs.
OPEC ministers said they would meet again Wednesday, Jan. 17 to examine oil prices and possibly talk about a production cut.
Member countries still need to approve yesterday's decisions at an official meeting this morning.
Also yesterday, members of the oil cartel seemed to back away from a March agreement whereby production increases and decreases would be triggered automatically using a price-sensitive formula.
While OPEC still seeks to keep prices for its basket of crudes between $22 and $28 a barrel, Saudi Oil Minister Ali Naimi said production increases would be decided by ministers, not necessarily by the formula — the so-called price-band mechanism. That formula requires OPEC to add 500,000 barrels to its daily production if the average price for OPEC crude exceeds $28 for 20 consecutive trading days.
"The price band mechanism is
still in place but it doesn't replace good judgment," Naimi said after delegates broke up the informal policy meeting yesterday afternoon.
OPEC has already boosted output four times this year, bringing an extra 3.7 million barrels a day into the market. The cartel worries that another boost right now could swamp the market and cause prices to suddenly plummet if demand subsides as expected in the spring.
"We have said that we want to assess the impact of these increments on the market — it takes time to determine the effects," Naimi said.
At yesterday's informal session,
OPEC ministers also said they
would name Venezuelan Oil
Minister Ali Rodriguez the car-
tel's next secretary-general. Rodriguez will replace Nigerian Rilwan Lukman starting Monday, Jan. 1. Lukman's term ended in September 1999, but he has continued to serve because OPEC's 11 member countries could not agree on a successor.
OPEC is concerned about an expected price collapse brought on as winter demand for heating oil evaporates with warm spring weather. The cartel was burned by a dramatic plunge in demand after boosting output in December 1997 — right before the financial crisis in Asia and an abnormally warm winter caused demand to shrivel.
One year later, prices dropped to about $10 a barrel, battering oildependent OPEC members, who produce almost 40 percent of the world's crude.
Global warming talks to target emissions rules
The Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — As some 10,000 people open a major U.N. conference to draft rules on slowing global warming, differences remain vast on greenhouse gas emissions and there are concerns everything the parties have agreed to so far could unravel.
The problem some 100 participants will tackle when the two-week meeting begins today is stark: Most scientists now agree our cars, factories and power plants are pumping so much heat-trapping gas into the air that we are changing the world's climate, causing severe storms and droughts. New weather patterns threaten to extinguish animal species, submerge coastal areas and low islands and cause dramatic changes in the way we live.
The 1990s were the warmest 10 years in a millennium, and 1998 was the warmest year on record. Researchers said winters in the northern hemisphere were 18 days shorter than 150 years ago.
Yet despite three years of quiet negotiations to address the problem of emissions, countries disagree on crucial issues. Among them is whether nations falling short of their own emission reduction targets can strike deals with those able to reduce more than is required. The United States — the world's largest polluter — is arguing against the European Union for unrestricted trading of "credits."
"The Hague is about making sure the Kyoto
agreements are not reopened for debate.It's about putting them into practice."
Jan Pronk
practice"
Jan Pronk conference chairman and Dutch environment minister
The conference brings together government ministers, bureaucrats, environmentalists, lobbyists, students and a new breed of businessmen—pollution traders.
The road to The Hague began at the Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro in 1992 when world leaders, alarmed by predictions of a climatic apocalypse, pledged to combat global warming.
Five years later, negotiators met in Kyoto, Japan, and agreed that the total amount of greenhouse gases released each year into the atmosphere should fall to 5.2 percent less than it was in 1990. The target date was set for 2012.
To meet that goal, the Kyoto Protocol needs to come into force by 2002. The agreement is yet to be ratified by any industrial nation.
"The Hague is about making sure the Kyoto agreements are not reopened for debate. It's about putting them into practice," said Jan Pronk, the conference chairman and Dutch environment minister.

Congress to resume
Iffy election complicates budget fights
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Lameduck sessions of Congress are always unpredictable, but the one starting this week could prove even more muddled because of the unsettled presidential election.
Top Democrats seem ready to settle and leave town quickly. With President Clinton still in office, they appear eager to shake hands on a huge education, health and labor bill that
Neither party's congressional leaders know whether it makes sense to resolve budget fights quickly or try delaying a deal until the next administration — with either Republican George W. Bush or Democrat Al Gore in the White House on Jan. 20, inauguration day.
was nearly completed before Congress left town on Nov. 3 for the elections.
"There's an array of issues that have to be addressed. I don't think we can leave without having addressed them." Senate Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said yesterday on CBS "Face the Nation. Earlier, he said, "It will take give on both sides, but I think we can do that."
Five of the 13 annual spending bills for fiscal 2001, which began Oct. 1, are hanging. They cover seven Cabinet departments, dozens of smaller agencies, congressional operations, and the District of Columbia's budget.
Also unresolved are a $240 billion, 10-year tax bill; an increase in the minimum wage; higher Medicare reimbursements for health care providers; disputes over immigration and workplace injuries; and an intelligence agencies' bill that Clinton vetoed because it would have criminalized the leaking of some government secrets.
The Senate's top Republican, Trent Lott of Mississippi, raised the possibility on Fox News Sunday that lawmakers would "set aside those issues where we're not going to come to agreement and pass what we can."
Last Tuesday, voters elected a new Congress that will give Republicans even narrower majorities in the House and Senate than they held this year. After many months without even speaking to House Speaker Dennis Hastert, R-III, House Minority Leader Dick Gephardt, D-Mo., called Hastert after Election Day and tentatively arranged a meeting for this week.
"I think we can get a lot of work done." Gephardt said yesterday on ABC's This Week, adding that he hoped the four leaders could all sit down.
Republicans, however, seem undecided about how quickly to proceed and are unlikely to make decisions until they meet among themselves. The House returns today, the Senate tomorrow.
Split Senate may create unity
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Senate's Republican leader said yesterday that the GOP must think "innovatively" and be ready to work with Democrats in the aftermath of an election that could evenly split the chamber next year.
The top Democrat suggested a "power-sharing arrangement" between the parties and saw the opportunity for "real partisanship."
Republicans now hold a 54-46 edge. But after last Tuesday's voting, their advantage slipped to 50-49.
with the Washington state senatorial race still undecided.
The GOP will maintain control even if Democratic challenger Maria Cantwell beats current Washington Sen. Slade Gorton, splitting the Senate 50-50.
If Republican George W. Bush is the next president, Vice President Dick Cheney would act as Senate president and control the tie-breaking vote. And if Al Gore is elected, Connecticut Sen. Joseph Lieberman would become vice president, but the state's Republican governor would
Both Majority Leader Trent Lott, R-Miss., and Minority Leader Tom Daschle, D-S.D., said the parties would have to work closely to avoid gridlock.
name Lieberman's Republican successor, giving the GOP a 51-49 edge.
When the new session begins in January, one of the Senate's first tasks will be to vote on committee assignments. This is extremely important because the majority party traditionally picks the chairmen and gets an edge in numbers, allowing it to set the agenda and decide what issues and bills get priority.
Hillary denies harboring desire for presidency
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — When Hillary Clinton was growing up, she wrote to NASA about becoming an astronaut. The letter sent back said girls need not apply.
Clinton made it into the history books anyway, not as the first female astronaut, but as the only first lady to ever win elective office.
Now the question is whether she will she run for president.

No." she declared at her first post-election news
"No," she declared conference. "I'm going to serve my six years as junior senator from New York."
Of course, the first lady and her husband are famous for choosing their words carefully. That "six years" clause does not rule out the possibility of a presidential run in 2008, or even 2012.

But many experts think the "Hillary haters" who fueled Senate opponent Rick Lazio's campaign with $33 million would make it impossible for her to do nationally what she did here.
"I think it's unlikely she could get elected president," said Nelson Warfield, a Republican consultant and Bob Dole's former press secretary. "She's just such a polarizing candidate."
Clinton has already started to make her presence felt. On Friday, she proposed abolishing the Electoral College. Considering she has not even been sworn in yet, a proposal to amend the Constitution seemed like a bold way to launch her tenure.

Sen. Trent Lott, R-Miss., the Senate majority leader, has already set the tone for her reception, warning her to get used to being "one of 100 coequals. Getting a lot of attention and getting something done in the Senate don't always go hand-inhand. If she's smart, she'll keep a pretty low profile."
But don't tell that to the voters back in New York.
But don't tell that to the voters back in New York. "We need an intelligent woman who is not a puppet of the good old boys," said Anne Jorgensen, a teaching assistant who attended one of Clinton's last rallies before the election in unstate Binghamton.
Cora Olin, who heard Clinton speak in a Bronx church last month, agreed.
"She is going to be the first woman president," she said.

This is a great question that affects a lot of women at the college level, whether they are freshmen or seniors. Although you shouldn't spend too much time obsessing about your diet, here are some simple things to remember when you sit down to a meal or grab a snack:
Hi Lisa,
Don't skip meals (including breakfast). Grab a granola bar, a container of yogurt. or a bagel if you don't have time to sit down and eat. Running on empty is bad for your metabolism and can adversely affect your ability to concentrate.In fact eating five or six small meals (instead of two or three big ones) each day will increase your metabolism and help your body burn calories even if you're just sitting in class!
X Remember that fad diets don't work. Even if everyone in the dorm swears that the all-broccoli diet is the fast track to skinny thighs, remember that it's never a good idea to deprive your body of any food group. Eating in moderation is the key to a healthy diet.
X Do you suffer from bloating and cramping during your period? Sugar, alcohol, and caffeine have been shown to increase the severity of PMS and menstrual symptoms. To help you feel better during this time make sure you drink plenty of water. snack on fruit, and eat nutritious foods. Another way to feel comfortable is to use Playtex tampons - they really are so comfortable you can't even feel them.
X A hamburger doesn't have to be a guilty pleasure. Red meat can be a healthy part of your diet as long as you don't eat it every day. Try turkey burgers or chicken tacos as an alternative.
Try to have some low fat or skim milk once a day. Women are particularly in need of calcium during their college years to build bone mass and avoid osteoporosis (weak bones) later in life. If you don't want to drink a glass of milk, remember that yogurt or milk on your cereal counts as well.
X Always grab a piece of fruit or carrot stick when you're leaving the dining hall. Even if you don't want it right away,keep it in your room or backpack for a snack.Keep low-fat snacks like pretzels,graham crackers,trail mix,or raisins in you room for late night munchies so you won't be as likely to order pizza or raid the candy machine.
Finally, there will be plenty of opportunities for late-night ice cream,between class candy bars,and emergency fast food runs. You don't have to stay away from these things all the time,just listen to your body and keep your diet as balanced as possible.

Kansas takes bite out of St. John's in tourney final
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
NEW YORK — The New York fans yelled for them to "go back to the south," and one local newspaper misidentified their hometown as Manhattan, Kan.
The Big Apple wasn't prepared for the Jayhawks, but Kansas was more than ready for New York.

But it didn't come easily.
For the second time in two nights, the Javahawks built
a double-digit lead, got in foul trouble, watched their opponents whittle the lead away and then hung on for the victory.
In fact, the issue was still very much in doubt when Red Storm forward Anthony Glover's layup sliced an 11-point lead to just two with less than two minutes to play.
But an arching, fall-away shot by Jayhawk sophomore forward Drew Gooden on the other end lifted the Kansas lead back to 77-73. When Gooden snagged a rebound on the other end and drew the foul, the game was effectively out of reach.
For Kansas coach Roy Williams, the 2-0 start in the Big Apple showed a lot about his
team, which played with March fire instead of November timidness.
"Our team learned a lot about itself." Williams said. "We were exposed to a lot of different things in this tournament and I think that's important this time of year."
Indeed, Gooden was exposed to every emotion on Friday. He didn't start against St. John's — Williams said his defense wasn't strong enough — and was pulled just minutes before hitting his clutch shot after trying to dribble through St. John's guards Cook and Willie Shaw.
"I took him out and kind of chewed him," Williams said. "There's no way a 6-foot 9 guy should spin dribble through traffic like that. At that stage of the game, you don't make hard plays. You make easy plays."
The easy play was exactly what senior forward Kenny Gregory made all night against St. John's. After wowing the Garden crowd with multiple Empire State Building-sized dunks in the first half, Cook and Gregory talked all game, trying to intimidate each other. But freshman Cook was no witty match for senior Gregory.
Still. Cook scored 17 points against the Jayhawks and was named to the all-tournament team.
"Coach told us before the game they'd try to intimidate us," Gregory said. "Cook told me we play the best ball in New York. I said, 'We play basketball in Ohio and Kansas, too.' I thought it all was kind of cute."
Kansas' championship proved it was ready for the bright lights of New York in the middle of November.

Texas loss dashes Kansas' bowl hopes
By Jason Franchuk
Kansan sportwriter
The last thing Kansas football coach Terry Allen wanted Saturday was to hear his team spouting off cliches.
Kansan sportwriter
Such is life, however, when there's nothing new to say.
With one game left, the Jayhawks spoke about pride, playing for fun and trying to end the season on a positive note.
It all sounded sweet, but one fact remains: Kansas' 51-16 loss to Texas on Saturday ended its hopes of going to a bowl game.
At 4-6 and 2-5 in Big 12 Conference games, Kansas is malleible for postseason play for the fifth consecutive year.
"We're out of a bowl game," senior quarterback Dylen Smith said. "That's frustrating for me. We thought all year we could go to one. I was confident going into this game, but we got whipped.
Kansas jumped out to a 14-0 lead after freshman wide receiver Derick Mills' 28-yard touchdown run and junior cornerback Andrew Davison's 43-yard interception return for a touchdown.
That was not the case early.

It was a glorious moment for the. Javhawa.

Give No. 19 Texas credit.
Give No. 18 Years of Creation.
It was playing with the backup Simms, instead of injured starter Major Applewhite. Simms completed 10 of 18 passes for 240 yards and two touchdowns. And he did it against a team in desperate need for a win, playing in miserably cold weather with basically no audience — a paltry crowd of 27,200.
"We could have easily been flat," Texas coach Mack Brown said. "There was no one in the stands. KU was fighting for a bowl game, and it was cold. So it would have been natural for us to take today off."
Now Kansas enters its final week of practice preparing for the Cyclones, a team that has already qualified for the postseason. Allen admitted that emotionally preparing his team to go on the road for a meaningless game would be "a challenge."

But after a disappointing showing on Senior Day at home, the Jayhawks spoke about trying to finish on a high note.
"We've got 20 seniors." Hurst said. "We want to do it for the seniors. If we don't, that's pretty selfish. You always want to end the season with a win."

Wildcats shut out Jayhawk volleyball a second time
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
By Sarah Warren
Kansas was also shut out on Oct.
It was a case of the "coulda, shoulda, wouldas" for the Kansas volleyball team this weekend.
The Jayhawks fell in three games, 15-12, 8-15, 15-1, to the Kansas State Wildcats on Saturday night at the Horesei Family Athletics Center. The loss dropped the Jayhawks to 14-12 and 5-12 in the Big 12 Conference.
4 in Manhattan.
"The first time we played them we were more aggressive," said Danielle Geronymo, senior middle blocker. "This time we didn't finish. We just didn't respond."
The Jayhawks had a strong start, scoring the first three points in game one, but Kansas State then matched, scoring three straight.
The two teams were tied 3-4 for a series of nine side outs before Kansas finally scored. The teams exchanged the lead point-for-point

until the sats went on a fourpoint streak, making the score 9-12. "I'm real disappointed," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We had our opportunities, but they just got better, better, better."
The Jayhawks kept it close for most of the second game, but just when they would start to extend their lead beyond two points the
sen had a team-high 16 kills, plus four digs and six block assists. Geronnyo led the team with a .500 hitting percentage — 15 kills — and eight digs. Senior outside hitter Amy Mvyt added 11 kills.
"It's a match that we could have had," said Nancy Bell, senior outside hitter. "We had our chances in game one and we just couldn't finish. That's a trend this season."
Kansas will next play the Texas Longhorns in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday night. Kansas fell to Texas in five games when the two teams last met on Oct. 7 in Lawrence.
We had a couple of kids with
high efficiency." Bechard said. "But we need to find more of a balance. We had miscommunication and some hesitation."

Seniors end where they began with a loss
It's unfortunate but undeniable — Saturday's 51-16 trouncing at the hands of Texas was a fitting send-off for Kansas seniors.
The Senior Day game was a microcosm of each of the four years the team spent with Kansas coach Terry Allen.
It started with high hopes but was quickly brought crashing to earth with the reality of the team's weaknesses. By the time it was all over, a bowl bid out of the question.
The Jayhawks stormed out of the gate on their first drive and scored on a lightning-quick end-around by freshman wide receive Derick Mills. The 29-yard sideline scamper was his first career touchdown, and it had Kansas fans searching their programs and wondering, "Who the heck was that?"
It wasn't long before they had even more reason to be excited. On Texas' next drive senior defensive back Andrew Davison actually looked like he might be "the best cornerback in the Big 12 Conference" (his words) when he picked off a Texas pass and took it 43 yards for a score.
The Hawks were on top 14-0 less than five minutes into the game.
You couldn't have written a better start to the Senior Day game.
start to the Senior Day game.
But, as it has been each year for these guys, the final act in this play read more like a tragedy — or perhaps a farce.
After being intercepted, Texas quarterback Chris Simms inserted a big pin into Davison's overinflated ego. On the Longhorn's next drive, Simms victimized Davison with a 43-yard pass to receiver Roy Williams. Texas capitalized with a field goal.
Simms again saw Williams matched up against Davison on the next Texas drive. This time they connected in the end zone for a 38-yd score.
How about a 34-yard pass from Simms to Williams over Davison that got the ball down to the Kansas 2 yard line?
fast-forward to the second quarter with the score tied 16-16.
Davison was matched (read: mismatched) with Williams on one again. Sims saw it, took his time and floated a bomb that went for a 65 yard score.
The Simms-to-Williams-over-Davison combination racked up 180 yards and accounted directly for 12 points and indirectly for another 11.
Follow that with an easy touchdown run, and the 14-0 Jayhawk lead reversed into a 30-16 lead for the Longhorns.
So what did Texas do when it had the ball and time dwindling away in the first half?
Division wasn't so lucky to blame.
His case was just an example of the larger problem with Kansas' corner-backs: They are just too short.
Simms was just throwing the ball high and letting Williams jump up over Davison for the catch.
The defense didn't have any success stopping the run either. Texas churned up the turf to the tune of 396 rushing yards. Toss in 241 passing yards, and the Longhorns had a robust offensive output of 637 yards. Curb
Ouch.
That's definitely not the note on which the Jayhawk seniors wanted to exit Memorial Stadium. Fittingly, there weren't many people there to see it. Only a meager crowd braved the cold to bid farewell to the seniors.
Perhaps a cold aluminum bench and a mediocre football team just didn't seem as inviting after watching an outstanding basketball team from a warm couch the night before.
So our football seniors ended up where they started out: on the short end of the stick and in the shadow of the basketball team.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 13). The money you invest this year could make your future warm and snugly. Don't just toss your money away. Learn to do it right. The worries you have in November are your motivation. A loss in December can be forestalled with planning. Learn from a real sweet heart in January. Real estate's a good investment in February. Work more to earn more in April. Refly on an expert's advice in May. More treasure can be found in a familiar place in June. Travel with a wise woman in July. A friend's thoughtless comment tweaks you into action in October.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
You're smart, and you're learning quickly, too.
Keeping a secret is difficult. Don't let on how much you know, for a while. You don't want to get an innocent bystander into trouble. Discretion, now, is the better part of valor.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
A partner's wishes are your command.
Unfortunately, your money's involved. Are you paying for the date? You probably can afford it, so don't complain. Be the big spender and make a loved one feel special.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
You might be tapped for an overtime assignment.
You're the best person for the job, but you don't think so. Is that because you're trying to leave town early, to visit a friend? Show you're the best choice by being super-efficient.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) --- Today is a 6. Your head's full of dreams of the perfect home, but your roommate is on a different wavelength. Convincing this person that you're right is worth the trouble. That's especially true if you're talking about renovation or a move.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
Success can be yours if you push. You're sometimes shy about saying what you want; you don't let people know how smart you are, either. Well, cut it out. Be bold, and you could get the promotion or job you richly deserve.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 6.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
**Lora (Sep. 25-Oct 22) — today is a d@b.**
Have you been daydreaming about far horizons, but does a lack of funds have you stopped? Don't give up on the goal. Try something you've never done before. Other people have, so how hard can it be? Start by talking with somebody who knows.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
Follow the money trail, and you'll find out who's got it stashed away and who's all talk. Don't tell them how much you've got; that's none of their business. The more you know about their business, though, the better off you'll be.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
P
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — I agree it is a 5.
You've got something stashed away that could be useful. It could be the clue you need to put the puzzle together. A friend can get you headed in the right direction. A partner can help you figure out what to do next.
R
男女同床
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
---
Separation from a person you care about may have you stressed. If you can't get there, maybe they could come to you. Entertaining a dear friend at your house would work out fine for you both.
Lion
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
An initial setback might slow you down, but don't give up. You often come up with your best ideas when you're under stress. Go over your notes again. You might have missed something.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
If you think there's a mistake, check with an older friend or your supervisor. Don't repeat the same error over and over again. Trust a hunch and find out if the instructions you've been given are right.
Don't follow blindly; watch where you're going.

BASKETBALL
Crider could transfer to Washburn soon
He was in Topeka on Friday meeting with Washburn coach Bob Chipman and touring the campus, Crider, a backup point guard from Horton, said he was frustrated with playing time and had been seeking a transfer. According to a source in the Athletics Department, all that's holding up the announcement of Crider's transfer to Washburn is a meeting between Kansas coach Roy Williams and the school officers that will oversee Crider's transfer.
In his first two seasons, Crider played 56 minutes and made one field goal. This year, he was held out of the Jayhawks' exhibition against Emporia State.
The Washburn Ichabads will play in Lawrence on Nov. 25 — and junior guard John Crider could be with them.
JUSTICE
Last week, Crider didn't even travel with the Jayhawks to New York, where they captured the championship of the Coaches vs. Cancer classic.
In other news, the letters of intent that will make Aaron Miles, Michael Lee, Wayne Simim and Keith Langford official Jayhawks should be announced today.
Williams has been pestered by questions ever since the game against the Hornets, and on Friday he still didn't confirm Crider's transfer.
The Jayhawks' trip to New York was the only obstacle holding up the announcement of the four new signees.

Chicago QB Miller ruptures Achilles tendon
ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — Chicago Bears quarterback Jim Miller will be out six to seven months because of a ruptured left Achilles' tendon suffered in yesterday's 20-3 loss to Buffalo.
NFL
He will undergo surgery within the next 48 hours, Bears trainer Tim Bream said.
Miller was hurt when he began to scramble out of bounds deep in Buffalo territory in the second quarter It was originally
C
thought Miller suffered the injury when Bills lineman Shawn Price rolled onto the back of Miller's feet after he went down. However, the quarterback said he knew he injured himself as soon as he began to scramble.
Miller was making his second start in place of Cade McNown, out because of a separated shoulder. Miller went 9-for-13 for 40 yards against Buffalo. The game was tied 3-3 at the time of his injury.
Chicago was left with Shane Matthews, who made his season debut. Matthews is in his seventh NFL season and got his most playing time last year, starting seven games. He led the team by going 167-for-275 for 1,645 yards passing.
Williams breaks ankle may be out for season
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Ricky Williams broke his left ankle yesterday against Carolina, sidelining the New Orleans Saints running back for perhaps the rest of the regular season
The preliminary diagnosis was that Williams, who reached 1,000 yards rushing for the season on his final carry of the
20-10 victory, will be out six to eight weeks.
The second-year running back and 1998 Heisman Trophy winner needed 93 yards to hit the 1,000 mark. He got there on a one-yard rush with a little over six minutes to play, but was injured and left the game.
Williams had an assortment of injuries throughout his rookie season, limiting him to 253 attempts and 884 yards rushing. He already has 251 attempts this year.
Davenport beats Hingis claims another tourney
TENNIS
VILLANOVA, Pa. — Lindsay Davenport beat Martina Hinges 7-6 (9-7), 6-4 yesterday and won the Advanta Championships, defeating the Swiss star in the title match for the second straight year.
It was the fourth championship of the year for Davenport, ranked No. 2 in the world.
against Conchita Martinez, heads into this week's season-ending Chase Championships in New York with consecutive tournament victories.
Davenport, coming off a dominating performance in the semifinals
Hingls, No. 1 in the world, twice rallied from match point, and reeled off nine straight points before losing serve in the final game.
Davenport came back from double set point and won the tlebreaker in the first set after twice falling to capitalize when she was serving. She repeatedly frustrated Hingis throughout the 85-minute match with a strong backhand and powerful serve.
TRACK
OSLO, Norway — An international agency will consider today whether to take control of drug-testing of American track and field athletes, a move prompted by allegations the U.S. federation covered up positive cases.
The World Anti-Doping Agency will examine a proposal from USA Track & Field to take control of its entire drug-control program, which could be extended to all countries and all sports.
The credibility of the U.S. system came under fire during the Sydney Olympics with accusations by the International Amateur Athletic Federation that USATF had suppressed 15 positive tests in the past two years.
Agency ponders control of U.S.-athlete drug tests
The pressure intensified after news leaked out that shot putter C.J. Hunter, husband of spinner Marion Jones, had tested positive four times for the steroid nandrolone last summer.

Gregory dazzles crowd
Tournament MVP's show silences Red Storm fans
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com
By Chris Wristen
Kansan sportswriter
NEW YORK — With a possible NBA career ahead, Kenny Gregory gave the Madison Square Garden crowd a glimpse into the future, putting on a show in No. 7 Kansas' 82-74 victory against St. John's on Friday night.
After the Jayhawks fell behind 10-4 early, Gregory ignited an 18-4 Kansas run with a towering one-handed slam 3:28 into the game. That quieted the raucous crowd begging to see the Red Storm pull off its second upset in two days after beating No. 12 Kentucky on Thursday.
"I'm one of those crazy guys; I think one of the greatest sounds in the world is listening to the other team's crowd get quiet," Kansas coach Roy Williams said.
Although his initial dunk silenced the crowd, Gregory, a senior forward, wowed it with two more dunks, alley-oops from sophomores Kirk Hinrich and Drew Gooden that brought the rival fans to their feet in appreciation.
Gregory said the noisy crowd and main-stage court,were a welcomed early-season challenge.
"The atmosphere was real tough because it was basically a home game for St. John's, so the atmosphere seemed like it was kind of like a
March Madness game," Gregory said.
"This is a great feeling to come out this early in the year and be on the road playing tough games, and close games at that, and showing great composition. That's a good sign that it's something we can build on," he said. "I hope we just (keep getting) better and better as the season goes on, and hopefully we can peak at the right time."
If Gregory hasn't peaked yet, that will be great news for the 'Hawks. His 17 points Friday and 24 against UCLA on Thursday make him the Jayhawks' offensive leader. He also knocked down two 3-pointers on Thursday, providing hope he has developed an outside game. All contributed to his selection as the Most Valuable Player of the Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic.
"The most important thing is that we got two big-time victories this early in the season," Gregory said. "Being MVP is just icing on the cake.
"I worked harder this summer than I have any summer. I'm just trying to be a lot more allaround player, shooting jump shots, taking it to the basket, getting rebounds and whatever is needed at the time."
What's been needed, in addition to scoring, has been rebounding and free-throw shooting. Gregory had seven rebounds against UCLA and 10 against St. John's. Williams said that had been Gregory's greatest off-season improvement.
"I think he's bought into the offensive rebounding idea more than he ever has," Williams said. "(Friday night) he had five offensive rebounds, and I think two or three were for
baskets. He's worked hard in the offseason, and he's worked extremely hard in the preseason. A lot of that (improvement) comes after he sweats, and I think he put in the sweat."
Gregory did some off-season sweating at the charity stripe, too, and it paid off. He has been known for his free-throw blunders in the past, but Gregory responded against St. John's, converting on three of four attempts including one down the stretch. That improvement has him poised to become the clutch player Gregory said he hoped to be.
"I feel a lot more comfortable (at the free throw line), and I'm thankful that coach feels confident in me to leave me out there in the stretch when it's needed," he said.

Baylor men look for small steps
Bv Michael Riaa
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
This season, the Baylor Bears will have a certain New Kids on the Block flavor.
The progressive rebuilding of the Baylor program means the Bears and coach Dave Bliss will have to take steps step by step.
Last season, Baylor just wanted to avoid being the laughingstock of the Big 12. This year, Bliss is focusing on reasonable goals for his team, such as finishing .500 and being considered for the National Invitational Tournament.
"We have no delusions this year any more than we did last year," he said. "We know a little bit better what we have to do and what we are capable of doing. Doing it is quite another thing."
Baylor is looking up at most of the Big 12 Conference after Finish
ing 14-15 overall last season and tallying four wins against the rest of the conference.
Still, 412 in Big 12 play is better than the 0-16 mark the Bears posted two seasons ago, and it's those baby steps that Bliss said he hoped his team would continue to take.
"There are some tremendous teams in the Big 12." Bliss said. "One of the main reasons that we're at Baylor is the opportunity to compete against the best and in one of the best conferences. We're excited."
A veteran core features senior guard DeMarcus Minor and senior forward Terry Black. The two paced a heady Baylor team last season that nearly knocked off Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse and downed Texas Tech twice.
Throw in sophomore guard Wendell Greenleaf, junior forward Greg Dayls — who followed Bliss
to Baylor from New Mexico — and sophomore 7-foot-2 center John Flippen, and the Bears have a starting five who can compete with nearly anybody in the conference.
But the Bears lost five players from last year and will have to suit up eight newcomers.
Minor said veterans and newcomers has meshed well.
"With the players that we have coming back this season, we seem to be a real family and have a positive attitude coming out of our locker room," he said. "Our new-comers will all have a chance to contribute this season."
Especially Davis, a player for whom Bliss said he had high hopes. But he dislocated his shoulder in a preseason practice and may not be ready when the Bears open up their season against Arkansas-Pine Bluff on Wednesday, Nov. 22.

New coach gives women confidence
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
By Zoc Hunter
Baylor's women's team won only two conference games last season, and since it began playing women's basketball it hasn't finished better than fifth in either the Southwest or the Big 12 conferences.
Why all the confidence this season?
There's a new attitude. First-year coach Kim Mulkey-Robertson comes from a college basketball juggernaut. She spent 19 years with Louisiana Tech as a player and assistant coach.
She couldn't come with a better resume. She was a part of 11 Final Four teams and three national championships and is a member of the Women's Basketball Hall of Fame.
"I will try to bring over some of the successes and attitudes I've seen at Louisiana Tech." Mulkey-Robertson said. "And things I've learned by some of the great coaches I've played for, like Pat Summit, of course I will try to emulate."
The change of pace and attitude is working already. Junior forward Danielle Crockrom said the Bears were ready to begin working toward the top of the conference.
"She brings new motivation to the system and believes in us," Crockrom said. "We are excited, and we are going to work very hard."
The Bears are returning four starters, but the difference is the newcomers. Baylor had one of the best recruiting seasons of anyone in the nation. The Bears got junior guard Sheila Lambert, preseason favorite for newcomer of the year. Playing for Grayson County College last season, she averaged 23.2 points, 6.1 rebounds and 7.9 assists.
Despite the influx of talent, Mulkey-Robertson said she was realistic about the Bears' chances this season.
"What this team lacks offensively we have to make up for defensively. If the kids buy into it, we'll be in a lot of ball games where we might be overmatched talent-wise," Mulkey-Robertson said.
"With winning comes fan support, television coverage, playoffs and better recruiting," she said. "But this basketball team will not be measured in wins, but rather in number of games that they truly compete in." The way Baylor is going to compete in games is through defense. Mulkey-Robertson said that most of the Bears' practices focused on defense and that it would serve them greatly down the road.

Aggies pin hopes on King
Bv Chris Wristen

There's a good reason Texas A&M coach Melvin Watkins spends most of his time talking about super sophomore guard Bernard King and not speaking of team expectations — Watkins isn't sure what to make of his squad.
"I if say we'll win 12 to 15 games then that may be selling us short," Watkins said. "On the other side, if I said 20 or so it might be a little bit more than we can handle right now. We are just going to take it one game at a time, one step at a time and hopefully have some fun with this."
Fun may be a good place to start, especially since the Aggies have All-Big 12 Conference nominee King back for another year. He is arguably the best player to wear an A&M jersey in years, averaging almost 17 points per game as a freshman. Watkins said that King's instant offense put some excitement back into the program but that he would have to adjust his role this season.
"For us to be a good team, Bernard does need to take on a different role, and that may mean that his scoring
does have to come down some," Watkins said. "We went to Bernard too much and forced him to take bad shots at times. That's not good basketball, but when your options are limited, you do what you've got to do."
Two more options exist this year. Sophomore guard Jamaal Gilchrist and freshman forward Nick Anderson will both be expected to produce on offense, and that is a challenge Gilchrist said he was prepared for as the second-leading returning scorer on the team.
"As a freshman, I didn't have the mental edge," Gilchrist said. "As a sophomore, I now know what I need to do, and being mentally tough will help me go out and do it."
Anderson, at 6-foot-6, is one of the top-rated recruits to come to College Station, Texas. He was a Parade All-American and national Top 40 player coming out of high school.
"Coach has brought in some players that can score," King said. "When teams try to double-team me, I can just dish to them and they can put it in the hole."
King said the addition of Anderson and freshmen Nolan Butterfras and Dylan Leal would give the team a more balanced offense.

Texas A&M should find another team to pick on this year because the Aggies won't be pounding on Baylor any more.
Despite winning only five conference games in the last two seasons, the Aggies have shown improvement under third-year coach Peggie Gillom. Last year, they won four more games than they did the previous year. If A&M can do that again, it might find itself climbing out of the
Of A&M's three conference wins last season, two of them came at the expense of the Bears. This season, Baylor has improved, so the Aggies will have to find a team to beat or find themselves winless in the Big 12 Conference.
cellar
But Big 12 coaches don't think so. The Aggies were picked to finish last this year, but the team's players and coaches are hoping to prove the other coaches wrong.
"We were picked last in the Big 12 Conference, but our team is really upbeat about the season, and we want to come out and show that we won't be the last team in the Big 12." Gillom said. Senior Brandy Jones said she
Senior Brandy Jones said she took the coaches poll personally.
"It makes us mad, but we need to go out and prove ourselves on the court." she said.
That may be easier said than done. The Aggies lost two players that averaged in double figures last year and now have five freshmen that must contribute if they want to prove they're not the worst team in the conference.
A&M changed styles because of necessity.
Although wins are not guaranteed, the Aggies promise to be a different team this year. They are looking to have a more run-and-gun style, abandoning the half-court style they used to run.
"The kids I recruited this year are athletes who run up and down the floor, so you to adjust to the kids that we have," Gillom said.
Jones said A&M would definitely be a running team.
"We have a lot of athletes and are going to stress defense and pushing the ball up the court," she said.
Jones will be a big part of that up-tempo offense. She averaged 9.1 points, 3.48 assists and started every game last season.

No. 9 Kansas State (9-2, 5-2 Big 12 Conference)
too a giant step toward claiming the Big 12
North Division title, beating No. 10 Nebraska
(9-2, 5-2) 29-28 Saturday in Manhattan.
Nebraska's Kevun
Nebraska's Keyuo Craver returned a blocked punt 12 yards for a touchdown early in the first quarter, but the Wildcat defense stymied the Cornhusher offense for most of the game allowing only 105 total yards in the first three quarters.
C
The 'Huskers finally got their power-running attack going in the fourth quarter. Running back Dan Alexander began finding holes in the K-State defense, and Nebraska quickly rallied from a 23-14 deficit to a 28-23 lead with 9:53 remaining in the game.
However, K-State's Jonathan Beasley con
nected with wide receiver Quincy Morgan for a 12-yard touchdown, putting the Wildcats ahead 29-28 with 2:32 left in the game. The Wildcats attempted a two-point conversion but were unsuccessful.
Nebraska had two more possessions before the end of the game but was unable to capitalize on either.
K-State needs only a win at Missouri to claim the Big 12 North title.
No.3, Oklahoma 35, No.21, Texas A&M 31.
In College Station, Texas, the Sooners (9-0, 6-0) rallied from a 31-24 first-quarter deficit, staying unbeaten and eliminating Texas A&M (7-3, 5-2) from the Big 12 South Division title chase.
The Sooners' Torrance Marshall returned an interception 41 yards for a touchdown with 7:18 to play, completing Oklahoma's comeback. Quentin Griffin, Oklahoma running back, had just scored on a 2-yard run with 7:43 to play, setting the stage for Marshall's game-winning play.
Iowa State 35, Colorado 27
Oklahoma can clinch the Big 12 South title by beating Texas Tech on Saturday in Norman, Okla.
Iowa State (7-3, 4-3) battled both Colorado (3-7,
3-4) and a snowstorm in Boulder, Colo., and came away with a 35-27 win.
The Buffalooes had four turnovers, including a lost fumble at the Iowa State 10-yard line with 149 to play.
Cyclone quarterback Sage Rosenfelt, better known for his passing, ran for 140 yards and

Texas Tech is bow eligible. Because of its 12- game schedule, it needed seven wins to qualify.

Jayhawk ice hockey club flogs hapless Shockers

The Kansas club ice hockey team celebrated Saturday after pummeling Wichita State 9-0 at the Ice Midwest Arena in Overland Park.
Not even a delayed start time of 11 p.m. could stop Kansas' multifaceted game plan.
The Jayhawks displayed consistency on offense and defense, scoring three goals per period, and goalkeepers Matt McSorley, St. Louis freshman, and Elliot Botten, Plymouth, Minn., sohomore, collaborated for a shutout.
"This win helps our confidence as we prepare to go on the road," said Tim McShane, Milwaukee senior.
The depth of the Jayhawk squad made up for lack of support at the arena. While keeping the puck near the Shockers' goal for nearly the entire game, six different Kansas players scored goals in the game including Matt Clark, Eden Prairie, Minn., junior, who scored three for a hat trick.
Amir Shah, St. Louis sophomore, had two goals while Tyler Brookfield, Fairway senior captain Brian Luhman, Eden Prairie, Minn., junior, Ryan Rutzick, Hopkins, Minn., freshman and Daniel Saillier, Overland Park junior, each scored a goal.
Defensively, the Jayhawks held Wichita State to only a handful of shots on goal with the efforts of Brookfield, Luhman, McShane and Jeff Engel, St. Louis junior, and Richard Garnett, St. Louis sophomore. Coach Bruce Bamlett said he was
Coach Bruce Bamlett ne he was pleased with the team's overall effort.
we had a great game from the goalies and the defense tonight," said Bamlett. "Wichita State is a rivalry for some of our players from Wichita."
Coach Bamlett also said he was glad the Kansas scoring fest provided playing time for all members of the squad.
While Wichita State may not have provided stiff competition for the Jayhawks, McShane jokingly used the game as a measuring stick to last year's Kansas victory.
"Last year we only beat them 6-0, so I guess we are improving," McShane said.
While they enjoy playing at the brand new Ice Midwest Arena in Overland Park, some members of the team said a home arena in Lawrence would be beneficial.
"It would be nice if Ice Midwest was in Lawrence," said McShane. "We would get more support there."
The Hawks will travel to Chicago next weekend to take on Robert Morris College in their third contest of the season.

Defense produces early but can't knock out 'Horns
By Allan Davis

Kansan sportswriter
If the Texas-Kansas football game on Saturday had been a boxing match, it could be said the Jayhawks knocked the Longhorns down twice in the first round.
Kansas jumped out to a 14-0 lead in the first five minutes of the game and the defense helped the Jayhawks gain that early lead, putting nine points on the board against Texas.
Two Jayhawk defensive backs returned interceptions for scores Saturday. Junior cornerback Andrew Davison picked off a pass in the first quarter and returned it 43 yards for a touchdown, giving the Jayhawks a 14-0 lead.
Davison said he was able to tell by watching where Texas quarterback Chris Simms was going to throw the ball.
I just made a good read on it," Davison said. "The quarterback was looking at the receiver all day. I just looked at his eyes off the snap and broke on the ball and made a play off of it."
Senior free safety Carl Nesmith scored the other two points after the Longhorns had scored a touchdown, closing the gap to 14.9, and decided to go for a two-point conversion.
However, Nesmith had a different idea. He snagged the attempted two-point conversion pass in the end zone and returned it more than 100 vards for two points for the Jayhawks.
Nesmith said the Jayhawks weren't expecting a two-point conversion attempt but adjusted in time.
"We were coming out for a (extra point kick) block," Nesmith said. "We didn't know that they
were going for two. We just yelled out a play, and the quarterback broke contain. He was rolling out, looking for someone to throw to, and I just was trying to read him a little bit. I was going one way and he threw it the other way, so that's why I only caught it with one hand. I just saw linemen in front of me and I (ran) down the field. I had fun. That was my first touchdown ever playing here." At that point, the Joukhuws led 169.
However, the Longhorns survived the early knockdowns, got off the canvas, and when the match was done, Texas had won on points 51-16. It was a unanimous decision. Even Kansas coach Terry Allen agreed the Jayhawks had been beaten.
"It was a tough one," Allen said. "We had some chances. We had some opportunities. We got the early lead and made a few plays. When we had a chance to slow them down a little bit, maybe get some momentum going our way, they came up and made plays against us. It was a pretty tough go out there because it was such an emotional roller coaster that happened throughout the first half."
After Nesmith's interception return made the score 16-9, Texas exploited chinks in the Jayhawk defense's armor the rest of the game, rolling up 396 yards rushing and 241 passing — a total of 637 yards.
Nesmith came up with another interception and said it was the result of a mistake by Simms.
"I think it was really a bad throw from the quarterback more than me reading." Nesmith said. "I was just playing my house, and he just threw it in my house, and I just saw it coming and went and got it."

Women float, men sink in meet
By Karen Donnelly Special to the Kansas
The Kansas women's swimming and diving squad crushed Southwest Missouri State on Friday night, but the men's squad was defeated in home waters at Robinson Natatorium.
A first-time meet between Kansas women and Southwest Missouri State ended in a 141-102 victory for the Javahawks.
"The team was excited to face a new team and we did very well," said Kansas women's coach Cathy Burges.
Jayhawk women posted their best scores ever Friday night. Sophomore Beth Schryer, junior Carrie Kirkham and sophomore Heldi Landhern each posted two individual wins.
"We had some season-best times and were able to have our swimmers gain experience in different events that they had been working on," Burgess said.
Schryer seized Kansas' first event of

the competition, winning the 1000 freestyle in 10:29.30. She placed first in the 200 butterfly with a time of 2:07.02.
Kirkham placed first in the 100 freestyle with a time of 52.91 and the 200 freestyle with a time of 1:55.46. She also helped the Jayhawks win the 400 medley relay.
Landherd took home both the 200 individual medley and the 200 backstroke for the Jayhawks. She won the 200 IM in 2:11.45 and opened a strong lead in the 200 backstroke, putting her in first place with a time of 209.63.
"Going into the meet we were really uncertain because we had never competed against SMSU, but we pulled everything together really well," senior Carolyn Grevers said.
She placed second in both of her individual events — the 500 freestyle and the 200 IM. She also had a hand in the victorious 400 free relay, which delivered an overall time of 3:36.31.
Other individual event winners included Klm Waite in the 50 freestyle, Rebecca McFall on the one-meter springboard, Ross in the 500 freestyle, Misejka on the three-meter dive and Kristen Johnson in the 200 breaststroke. The Jayhawk women also won the 400 freestyle relay and the 400 medley relay.
The Kansas men's swimming and diving team ended its meet by falling to SMSU. 140-92.
The Jayhawk women will travel next to Minneapolis to compete in the Minnesota Invitational from Friday, Nov. 17 to Sunday, Nov. 19.
"No one likes losing a dual meet, but I saw positive signs that we are progressing and will swim really well at the end of the year," Kansas men's coach Doug Dickinson said.
Sophomore Brian Soria performed well again for the Jayhawks. He
swept the 500 and 1000 freestyle races, giving him five out of six wins in the two events for the season.
Soria trailed early in the 1000, but his steady stroke allowed him to take the lead and finish in 9:27.66. He, along with fellow Jayhawk senior Jon Reyes, engaged in a three-way battle in the 500 freestyle with only 1.01 seconds between each swimmer. Soria finished first in the 500 in 4:38.36 with Reyes close behind in third place.
Carr took first place in the 100 freestyle in 47.09 seconds.
Senior Chad Sunderland and senior Jason Carr also captured victories for Kansas. Sunderland won the 200 breaststroke in 2:08.19, only one tenth of a second in front of the Bears' David Nielsen.
The Kansas men's swimming and diving team will prepare to take a trip to Dickinson's alma mater, the University of Texas, to compete in the Texas Invitational from Friday. Dec. 1 to Sunday, Dec. 3.

Kansas improves during fall season
One Jayhawk meets NCAA qualifications
It was a bittersweet ending for most of the Kansas cross country team at the District V Regionals on Saturday in Cedar Falls, Iowa.
With the exception of junior Charlie Gruber, Kansas closed out a season that saw many young runners gain valuable experience.
Both Kansas teams failed to place in the top two, while Gruber placed fourth in the men's race and was the

Coach Stanley Redwine said the Kansas men and women accomplished their goal of improving.
The Kansas men improved on their 11th place showing at districts last year with an 8th place finish Saturday.
"It shows that our men are better than last year," Redwine said. "We didn't qualify anyone for the NCAA's last year, and this year we qualified one."
Gruber and fellow juniors Brent Behrens and Mark Menefee were the top three placing Kansas men.
Oklahoma and Missouri earned places in the NCAA Championships by finishing first and second.
Freshman Paige Higgins led the way for the Kansas women with a
69th place finish. Higgins, sophomore Bridget Morrisey and freshman Laura Lavoie were the top three finishers, leading Kansas to 13th place.
Redwine said Higgins came ready to run.
"She had a great conference race and was prepared for Saturday." Redwine said. "The majority of our women's team is very young, and we still placed better than last year."
Both teams will practice for the indoor season while Gruber prepares for the NCAA Championships on Monday, Nov. 20 in Ames, Iowa.

Heavyweight beats Tua, ready to take on Tyson
The Associated Press
LAS VEGAS — Lennox Lewis still doesn't want to pick on someone his own size.
He wants to pick on Mike Tyson.
The 6-foot-5 WBC-IBF heavyweight champion made $8.5 million for dominating David Tua, who at 5-10 is about Tyson's height. Lewis can make a lot more for fighting Tuson.
Lewis thinks a Tyson match can be made, despite his being under contract to HBO and Tyson being aligned with Showtime.

Lewis: wants to fight Mike Tyson on Showtime
It would be a highly anticipated fight, but so was Saturday night's bout in the Mandalay Bay Events Center, which Lewis won on a one-sided decision. It was a boxing clinic. The fans had wanted a brawl.
Lewis, jabbing and moving, shooting occasional right leads and crisp combinations did what he had to do
In his two previous fights, Lewis scored second-round knockouts against 6-7 Michael Grant and Francois Botha, also 6-feet-plus.
— keep the challenger at a distance and off balance.
The champion has admitted that in the past he's had problems with shorter opponents. So against Tua, he came up with a game plan that reduced his risks and drove the challenger to the point of frustration. Tua never got inside long enough for Lewis to even attempt his effective right uppercut.
"I felt the amount of punches I threw was sufficient," said Lewis, who was always aware of Tua's vaunted left hook and refused to take risks.
"He was winning the fight sufficiently with his left jab," said Emanuel Steward, Lewis' trainer.
A CompuBox punch analysis credited Lewis with landing 213 jabs, while Tua's total of jabs and power punches landed was only 110. EFicient is that Lewis uses
Lewis' only loss came when he was knocked down and stopped in the second round by Oliver McCall after he had thrown a long, lazy right hand in 1994. Lewis said he learned a lesson in that fight, and that lesson seems to be in the back of his mind every time he enters the ring.
"I kept my right hand up," said Lewis, who made Tua, who counts on the hook, into a one-armed fighter.
Tyson is anything but a one-armed fighter. He can take out an opponent with either hand. But Tyson probably doesn't take as good a punch as Tua, who has never been down as a pro, and Tua was hit with numerous stiff labs and several solid rights.
"Lennox Lewis is a great champion."
Tua said.

"The Government of the Republic of Egypt maintained control over the archaeological digs and Dr. Hawass and his team were responsible for the excavation and preparation of all finds featured on the special."
NEW YORK — A much-watched Fox TV special that promised viewers the first look at ancient relics bamboozed them instead, according to an Inside Edition report scheduled to air this week.
Fox, which has broadcast such questionable "reality" fare as Who Wants to Marry a Multi-Millionaire and World's Scariest Police Shootouts responded in a statement to The Associated Press:
Opening the special because Inside Edition focused on the first special because it had some huge problems, investigative producer Mike Corn said.
The Inside Edition report airs tomorrow in most cities.
Opening the Lost Tombs was seen in more than 10 million homes. It was followed by a sequel last May, Opening of the Tombs of the Golden Mummies: Live!
Fox special buried truth, report says
Asked whether he actually discovered the mummy live on camera, Hawass said, "No, that burial chamber belonged to a tomb that I found a month before the show."
One of the night's "discoveries," the tomb of a pharaoh queen, was actually discovered in the 1800s, Corn said, with published maps of it long available.
The Fox special was "playing up to the audience," 'Who knows what we're going to find?' Corn said. "But anybody with a library card could tell what they were going to find."
Opening the Lost Tombs: Live From Egypt, broadcast in March 1999, showed an archaeologist creeping through two Egyptian tombs and uncovering a mummy, skeletons and pottery believed to be 5,000 years old.
The Associated Press
He added: "If you are a good archaeologist, you never open something live. If you open a sarcophagus like this live, you ruin the whole thing."
But Zahi Hawass told Inside Edition he knew what Fox's cameras would show him finding even before the broadcast.

Big 12 basketball season previews
Cowboys expect tough season Cowgirls target flaws
By Chris Wristen
Kansan sportswriter
It's going to be a difficult semester for the Cowboys.
Course No. 1 is experience. Oklahoma State returns just three scholarship players from last year's 27-7 team that made it to the Elite Eight in the NCAA Tournament. Of those three, junior forward Fredrik Jonzen and sophomore forward Andre Williams are the only two who made significant contributions.
"This is the youngest team I have ever coached." coach Eddie Sutton said. "Our young players are talented but have a ways to go. It has been a lot of fun, though. I have always thought of myself as a teacher and I have gotten the opportunity to be a teacher."
Course No. 2 is teaching players to be on time. That is a challenge considering Gallagher-Iba Arena is still under construction and it will be December before the Cowboys can
practice on their home floor. Until then, the team is forced to practice at nearby high schools and junior high schools.
"We feel like a bunch of gypsies; we are practicing all over town." Sutton said. "It's going to be a marvelous facility, but it's testing our patience."
Williams said the change of location had been a major inconvenience.
"I haven't been late yet, but it is frustrating," he said. "I have to wake up every morning to see where we are at or check what time we are practicing at night."
He also has to introduce himself to nearly everyone he passes the ball to, because there are 12 new players on the Cowboy roster. They may be new, but Sutton said he expected his newcomers to make an immediate impact, especially his back court.
"Victor (Williams) and Maurice (Baker) are talented because of their quickness, and because of that quickness we can groom them," he said. "(They) will make us better in the
back court and defensively. They can shoot better free throws than my point guard last year (Doug Gottlieb)."
That may be so, but replacing athletic rim-rattler Desmond Mason is the bigger challenge. That is where Williams will be relied upon. He said he knew he would also be depended on for leadership.
Ultimately, Sutton said his team would need Jonzen to have a break through season in order for it to compete in the conference. Jonzen said he didn't see himself as the answer to Oklahoma State's offensive woes but would need to be part of the solution.
"With all of the new guys, they look at me and I have to know what to do now," Williams said.
"Of course it is a challenge," he said. "Since there are a lot of new guys we are going to need contributions from many people. We don't have a natural scorer, so everybody will have to step up."
It's not easy being at the bottom of the Big 12 Conference, and it won't get any easier this season for Oklahoma State.

The good news for the Cowgirls is that they return four starters. The bad news is that the one starter they don't return is second team All-Big 12 guard Jennifer Crow. "We do miss Jen this year," junior forward Kara Faulk said. "But as a team we're really close, we're coming together and we'll pick up the slack."
By Zac Hunter
last season, Crow was the Oklahoma State offense. She averaged 21.1 points per game, ranking second in the conference. Only one other returning player averaged more than 10 points per game.
Coach Dick Halterman said filling Crow's shooting guard spot
would be a huge key for the season.
"Our big question marks right now are the two and three (positions)," he said. "How good we are there will probably determine how good we are because we are defini-
ning going to have a better inside game than we have had for two or three years."
In her last five games she averaged 15 points and will have to continue that if the team is to improve on its 5-11 record in the Big 12.
Part of that improved inside game is junior center Jessica Bates. She only started 14 games last season, but turned her game up a notch in the last couple weeks of conference play.
"One, you get one or two games behind you, and you gain confidence in the next games," she said. "Once you have a few big games, it gets a lot easier after that."
Perhaps the most exciting aspect of the Cowgirls' season will be
"We do miss Jen (Crow)
"We do miss Jen (Crow) this year. But as a team we're really close, we're coming together and we'll pick up the slack."
Kara Faulk junior forward
their chance to play in the newly renovated Gallagher-Iba Arena. While Oklahoma State is currently practicing at another facility, the arena should be ready sometime in December.
"It is going to be a phenomenal place when they get done with it," Halterman said. "It is a new year for us, and I think that always brings a lot of excitement also." — Edited by Casey Franklin

Students anticipate end to presidency hoopla
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
As the election debacle drags on, University of Kansas students say they are ready for the presidential free for all to end.
There is no immediate end in sight, because overseas ballots will not be counted until after Friday.
Meghan Tebo, Bennington freshman, said all the election news coverage was getting old.
"It is fair to count the votes, but everyone's put their life on hold," she said. "I just think they should pick a president."
Adrian Erlinger, St. Louis junior, said he thought news media were too busy jumping to conclusions and time should be taken to count the Florida ballots accurately.
"The reason why there's a debate right now is we just wanted it done too quick," he said. "We have a stable system, and things are going to work out."
In Tallahassee, Florida's Republican secretary of state said the states' 67 counties must finish recounting votes by 5 p.m. today. Al Gore's advisers decried the decision as "arbittary and unreasonable" and promised court action.
Volusia County, one of four Democratic-leaning counties recounting votes, sued in state court yesterday for the right to complete and certify its manual count regardless of the deadline and to bar the state from ignoring its results.
The county asked for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction to block the state from enforcing the deadline. Democratic lawyers sought to join the case and asked a judge to delay his hearing
"It is fair to count the votes, but everyone's put their life on hold.I just think they should pick a president."

until later in the day to give them time to prepare their case.
The deadline is a major roadblock for Gore because some of the manual recounts requested by Democrats probably cannot be completed by then. The state warned that counties that don't certify their vote by the deadline "shall be ignored."
"The electoral process is a balance between the desire of each individual voter to have his or her intended vote recorded and the right of the public to a clear, final result within a reasonable time," said Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris, explaining the deadline. "The process of counting and recounting the votes cast on Election Day must end.
Harris said she expected to certify the election results Saturday afternoon.
Aaron Akins, Olathe senior, said he thought deciding between a manual recount and a machine count was a messy problem.
"Do we trust a machine or do we trust a person?" he said.
Akins said regardless of the outcome, he thought the next president's image was going to be weakened in the United States and abroad by the lack of a conclusive victory.
"Neither of these guys is going to
have any political clout," he said. "Other countries will look at this and think, 'This guy has got to be a wimp.'"
Ishita Banerjee, Calcutta, India, junior, said although she couldn't vote in the election, she,and her family in Calcutta, were following the election coverage. She said people in India were interested in who the next president would be because of the increased number of people from India moving to the United States for jobs.
"This is being telecast everywhere," she said. "It is really important for us to see who is going to be president."
Palm Beach — another county involved in manual recounts — also indicated it would legally challenge any imposed deadline.
Election officials in Palm Beach County said workers would start hand counting about 425,000 ballots this morning and expected to continue through Sunday.
The county canvassing board unanimously voted yesterday, before Harris's statement, to ask her and the attorney general for an advisory opinion on whether today's deadline can be extended.
The other two counties, Broward and Miami-Dade, had not yet begun recounts, with Broward starting a manual recount of sample precincts Monday and Miami-Dade with a hearing scheduled Tuesday on the question.
Bush has a 388-vote lead in the decisive state, with the manual recounts and the overseas ballots that are due Friday the biggest remaining issues.

Election shifts stocks
By LD McKee
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The confusion resulting from the presidential elections has not only caused uncertainty about who will lead the country, but it has also caused uncertainty for the stock market and its investors.
The market has been in a steady decline since the elections on Nov. 7. Analysts attribute this to the split voters' opinions about the issues and candidates in the elections.
The market plummeted immediately after republican candidate George W. Bush was declared the winner early Wednesday morning but rebounded after that decision was overturned.
"We shouldn't read too much into the initial reaction," said Paul Koch, professor of business. "Investors were understanding the election was so close that whoever would win would not have a mandate from the people."
Koch also said the fact that there was no clear majority in Congress for the president to work with created additional uncertainty.
"Uncertainty is not good for the market," he said.
Since the elections, the Dow Jones has dropped about 435 points, from about 10,952 points on Nov. 7 to about 10,517 yesterday, and the Nasdaq has dropped about 449 points, from about 3,415 points on Nov. 7 to about 2,966 yesterday.
Willy Chen, Topeka sophomore, isn't worried about the recent drop.
Chen, who invests mostly in technology stocks, said he didn't think his stocks would be affected by either Bush or democratic candidate AI Gore taking office, even though he had lost about $1,000 in the past week.
"It's investors being stupid and panicking over nothing," he said.
"Tech will always go forward," Chen said. "It doesn't depend on who's in office."
Ryan Gerstner, Frankfort senior, also has seen his stocks drop in the past week. He said his portfolio had dropped about 10 percent since the election, although he said he wasn't concerned.
"Once everything gets resolved, market will rebound." he said.
Gerstner said he wouldn't alter his investment strategy depending on who eventually won the presidency.
"It's not going to affect my portfolio either way," he said. "I think most people will use their same strategy."

Koch said the Bush administration indicated it would have more conservative policies that would benefit most industries. He said Gore had given mixed signals about attitudes toward businesses.
"None of us knows whether this was just rhetoric on both sides to get elected or whether meaningful reform will come or meaningful tax cuts will come," Koch said. "It depends on who is elected."

Writing helpers outgrow Roosts
writer@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
KU Writer's Roosts are seeing record numbers of students this semester and hoping to expand. But students looking for help with papers face longer waits to see a writing consultant, and the main roost has outgrown its location.
After helping out on 1,100 visits from student last fall, the centers have done about 1,000 so far this semester and expect the count to reach 1,500 by semester's end.
Emily Donnelli, writing consultant for the roosts and Platte City, Mo., graduate student in English, said students without appointments were having to wait for help for the first time this semester. Consultants
sometimes visit with two students at once who are working on the same assignment.
Donnelli said that while consultants helped with mechanics such as proper citation and grammar, their main purpose was to help writers with organization, clarity and flow.
"At the core of our philosophy is that all writers need other writers," she said. "When someone else reads your paper, it brings a new perspective."
Michele Eodice, director of the KU Writing Center, which oversees the roosts, said she was hoping to secure more funding to hire new consultants next year.
She said she hoped to move the Wescoe roost to a larger room elsewhere in the building. When the School of Education moves
from Bailey Hall to J.R. Pearson Hall this spring, some departments moving from Wescoe to Bailey could free up room for the roost to expand, Eodice said.
A constant flow of students has kept the roosts busy as more instructors either require students to get help there or offer them extra credit for making visits.
Alan Diehl, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, waited in the Wescoe roost yesterday for help on an essay on Jane Austen's *Pride and Prejudice*. Diehl said his English 102 instructor required the visit.
After their first visit, students also can seek help through the center's online writing lab at www.ukans.edu/~writing. Students can submit their papers online and receive
feedback within 48 hours.
feedback within 48 hours.
The guidance students receive online is similar to what they get in person.
"We're not an editing service," Donnelli said. "We won't fix all your commas and e-mail you a perfect paper back."
The roosts, launched in 1998, added a location at GSP-Corbin Hall this semester. Like the roost at Templin Hall, students use the Corbin location because it stays open late and is closer for off-campus students than the main roost in Wescoe Hall, Eodice said. Evening roosts are held from 7 to 10 p.m. in Corbin on Wednesday, in Templin on Tuesdays and Thursdays, and at Watson Library on Sundays and Mondays.

Future of Student Senate campus safety board depends on fee
Board's input about emergency lighting could be eliminated
By Kursten Phipps
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Student Senate currently has a say in campus safety decisions, thanks to the $1 campus lighting fee students pay each semester.
The University matches those dollars, and because student money is involved, Student Senate and Senate's campus safety board have a stronger voice in decisions on how that money is spent, said Nooshin Soltani, the
board's chairperson.
But Senate's role in deciding where blue emergency phones and new lights are placed may change, she said, if the fee is allowed to expire this year.
The fee would have to pass legislation to be renewed. If the fee is allowed to expire, Soltani said, the board probably would no longer exist and Senate would not have the same input it has now.
"It's a difficult situation because with the campus lighting, the campus safety advisory board is able to do different things pertaining to safety," Soltani said.
John Mullens, assistant director of the office of public safety, said Senate's biggest contribution was its involvement in the lighting fee.
gotten as far as we have," Mullens said. "Part of that has been the student fee associated with it. Basically, the projects progressed twice as fast as they would have with what the University normally would have been able to afford."
"Their participation with the lighting projects has been the reason why we've

also should assess student concerns about safety.
"We need to first address student concerns and the difference between what areas are actually unsafe compared to what areas people feel unsafe, then try
Bankston said a comprehensive campus safety survey completed last year showed property crimes, not personal crimes, to be the biggest problem on campus.
According to Office of Public Safety statistics, reported incidents of burglary dropped from 103 to 73 last year. Aggravated assaults dropped from 13 in 1997 to four in 1998 and 1999. Reported rapes also dropped from seven in 1998 to one in each of the past two years.
to address those concerns somehow," she said.
Another major campus safety initiative Senate was involved in was the implementation of SafeRide, which provides free rides for students at night. Senate has discussed expanding its service but has not done so yet, Bankston said.
"We found out that it's exorbitantly expensive and only serves a small number of students," she said. "It wasn't in the best interest of students and was not a responsible use of student fee money."
Senate also had proposed initiating SafeWalk, a program that would provide escorts for students walking on campus at night, but Bankston said it wasn't feasible.
"The money just hasn't been there to expand SafeRide," she said.
Bankston said campus safety would be an ongoing issue that always could be improved.
"We need to work on the perception of safety," she said. "If a student doesn't feel safe, it's just as bad as actually not being safe."

Battery, other charges lead to student arrest
A 22-year-old KU student was arrested Saturday morning on charges of battering a law enforcement officer, criminal trespassing and obstructing the legal process, the Douglas County Sheriff's Office said.
Sheriff Loren Anderson said the man was involved in a verbal disagreement with some people in the lobby of the jail. The group moved to the parking lot, and a sheriff's deputy asked the man to leave.
Anderson said the man would not leave and reached for the deputy's weapon, but the deputy was not wearing his weapon. The man grabbed the deputy's clothes.
Anderson said the deputy was not iniured.
The deputy arrested Bryan Patrick Cardwell, Lawrence senior. He was released at 1:43 p.m. Saturday and will appear in court tomorrow.

Clinton plan protects national forest land
WASHINGTON — The Clinton administration yesterday expanded a plan to restrict logging, mining and road building on some of the nation's most pristine and remote national forest land.
the plan, which still could be revised, would protect 58.5 million acres, an area nearly the size of Oregon that encompasses almost a third of all national forest land. The major change from the original proposal announced in May was the inclusion of 9.3 million acres in the Tongass National Forest in Alaska.
Administration officials changed the plan after receiving more than 1.5 million comments at public hearings and through written corre spondence, agency officials said.
Environmentalists have been pressing for years for a ban on road-building because they believe the pathways increase erosion, disrupt wildlife habitat and make it easier for logging trucks and mining operators to reach remote public lands.
Committee considering new Web site suffixes
MARINA DEL REY, Calif. — With some 20 million dot-com addresses now registered, any moderately easy-to-remember internet name is apt to be claimed by now.
So why not try something more exotic? There's .tv from the Pacific island of Tuvalu, .to from Tonga, and .cc from the Cocos Islands. Or how about .md from the former Soviet republic of Moldova or .tm from Turkmenistan?
As the Internet's oversight body meets in Marina del Rey this week to consider adding new suffixes to the current selection, some small nations have already cashed in on their digital assets.
They are selling their surplus addresses in deals that have netted them millions of dollars enough to pay for schools, medical care, even free or subsidized Internet access via satellite to islands that cables cannot reach.
California to initiate drug treatment plan
SAN FRANCISCO — California, which jails more drug users per capita than any other state, now must quickly change course and implement the most ambitious drug treatment program in U.S. history.
Last week's passage of Proposition 36, a sweeping initiative requiring treatment instead of imprisonment for an estimated 36,000 drug users each year, thrusts California into mostly uncharted territory.
But as counties rush to make the change by July 1, they can learn from San Francisco, which has bucked the state for years by diverting nonviolent drug offenders into treatment, and Arizona, where voters approved a similar initiative four years ago.
Arizona hands out movie and sporting event tickets and holds picnics for drug offenders who complete treatment programs — anything to reward them for staying clean with the threat of jail no longer hanging over their heads.
Hundreds pay tribute at entertainer's memorial
LOS ANGELES — Hundreds gathered to pay tribute to entertainer Steve Allen and celebrate "a life truly well lived."
Allen, who died Oct. 30 at age 78 of an apparent heart attack, was remembered not only as a talented comedian, musician, composer and author, but also as a man of integrity.
Many of Hollywood's enduring stars, including Milton Berle, Tim Conway, Don Knotts, Valerie Harper and Jerry Stiller, attended the memorial service Sunday at the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences in North Hollywood.
Allen's most enduring legacy was
his creation of The Tonight Show in 1953. The comedian played the piano, chatted with guests, commented on current events and took to the street to interview passersby. His style set the format for today's talk shows.
Recovery of bodies from cable car begins
KAPRUN, Austria — Recovery teams removed the first bodies yesterday of at least 155 people killed after a cable car caught fire as it pulled them through a mountain tunnel toward their ski destination.
The tunnel finally freed of smoke Sunday, more than a day after the fire that destroyed the Kitzsteinhorn cable car. Rescuers entered from the top end to avoid any risk of the car slipping downhill.
The cause of the fire remained unclear. Authorities also were uncertain about the total number of people who boarded the cable car Saturday morning, but said the identities of 155 victims were near certain. Among them were 52 Austrians, 42 Germans, 10 Japanese, eight Americans, two Slovenes and a Croat.
Authorities had names but no nationalities for the remaining 40 missing people.

Mexico ruling party will not regain control
GUADALAJARA Mexico
GUADALAJARA, Mexico — Mexico's ruling party fought to win back powerful Jalisco state Sunday, but exit polls indicated that the conservative party of President-elect Vicente Fox would be around for another six years.
Jalisco's elections were an important test for the Institutional Revolutionary Party, or PRI, which has been struggling since July when it lost its first presidential race in seven decades.
But they served just as much as a test of Fox's National Action Party, which took power in Jalisco in 1995 and has since faced criticism that it has fallen into the same corruption and incompetence that voters had associated with the PRI.
The exit polls showed Francisco Ramirez of National Action, known as the PAN, beating out Jorge Arana of the PRI. Raul Vargas of the leftist Democratic Revolution Party was a distant third in all the polls.

Less popular languages overlooked
By Rob Pazell
A. K. P.
writer @ kansan.com
Kansan staff writer

There's more to Danish culture than pastries and Haus Christian Anderson, and Lene Askbo said students could overcome this stereotype and others by taking the less popular foreign language classes offered at the University of Kansas.
"They just don't know about it." Askboa said of many American students. "People think of a pastry and that's about it."
Askbo teaches Danish 104, one of many language classes offered at the University that students may overlook for what many language teachers refer to as the "big three": Spanish, German and French.
Many of these classes have significantly fewer students than the big three — Askbo's class has only two students enrolled — leaving some teachers to believe that students just aren't aware of the languages.
Askbo, who was born in Denmark, said she wanted to heighten awareness of the Danish language and culture because learning about a lesser-known language could help combat discrimination.
"It's not only being able to say a few sentences," Askbo said. "You get to know how people think."
Kelly Crowder, Colorado Springs,
Colo., freshman, is one of two students in Askbo's class and is planning to study abroad in Copenhagen, Denmark. She said taking Danish in a class with only two students was better than the more popular languages because she had a lot of one-on-one work with the teacher.
"If we're lost or confused, we can
take the time to ask for help." Crowder said. "Whereas in a class with 30 students, it's just more uncomfortable."
Edith Clowes, director of undergraduate studies in Slavic languages and literatures, said Russian generally yielded 16 to 17 students in each class, but other languages such as Serbo-Croation, Polish and Czech had a lower turnout.
She said when a student took a language class with higher enrollment the student tended to want to be anonymous and uninvolved. Clowes said smaller classes provided more
of an opportunity to speak the language.
"If you really want to learn, you move ahead faster and use the language more, which is the high of learning languages." Clowes said.
Keith McMahon, chairperson of the East Asian languages and cultures department, said East Asian languages had nothing in common with English, which may scare away some students.
"Americans are very language-ny," McMahon said. "They lack courage when it comes to learning a language."
Peter Ukopodku, chairperson of African and African American studies, said the number of students who took African languages fluctuated every semester, but he said it was valuable for American students to learn other languages because of the United States' leadership role throughout the rest of the world.
"How can a country be a superpower in the world if they don't know other parts of the world?" Ukpokodu said. "If you know the language, you know the people and their culture."

Andy. Knopp, Manhattan freshman, spends his Wednesday afternoons at Pincknev Elementary School.
"I'm really interested to hear the kids' opinions on the presidential campaigns." Knopp said.
Knopp is part of Students Tutoring for Literacy, a Center for Community Outreach program. He volunteers one hour a week during the Boys and Girls Club After School Program at Pinckney, 810 W. Sixth St., teaching third-through sixth-graders about government and the electoral process.
The students wrote letters to the Lawrence Journal-World before the elections, giving their opinions about the candidates. Knopp said their interest showed that people didn't have to be 18 to have an interest in the election.
Students Tutoring for Literacy helps both children and adults develop their reading, writing, speaking and learning skills. The goal is to better enable them to succeed in school, find employment and function in their communities.
"They are learning about the political process and getting early exposure, so they will become more likely to get involved in their government at a local and national level," he said.
Shawna Smith, Students Tutoring for Literacy coordinator and Hays junior, said the literacy training could entail specific tasks.
"Sometimes, all the participant wants to be able to do is read the Bible or fill out a job application," she said.
Students Tutoring for Literacy has about 75 volunteers. They travel to 13 different sites and typically work with the students either one-on-one or in groups for two hours a week.
Volunteers are available to tutor students on everything from reading to computers on weekdavs from 8 a.m. to 9 p.m.
Many of the programs allow volunteers to help teachers in the classroom or even teach lessons. Other programs help adults study for their G.E.D.s or teach them English as a second language.
Lana Moaveni, Students Tutoring for Literacy coordinator and Leawood junior, said she had been tutoring for seven years.
"Literacy is a slow process," she said. "You learn patience and how to look at things from different angles. The best reward is when the person you are tutoring really listens and finally gets it. It's a wonderful feeling."
Watkins to help smokers quit

By Melissa Davis
Matt Hohl started smoking in high school for many reasons, but increasing his risk for lung cancer, emphysema and many other detrimental side effects was not one of them. And that is why he's going to quit — on Thursday.
Hohl, Prairie Village senior, said he didn't know if he was addicted but knew he wanted to quit sometime in the future. This week he is going to try to stop with the help of Watkins Memorial Health Center's peer advisers.
The peer advisers, a group of students who help educate other students about health issues, decided to sponsor Hohl in conjunction with American Cancer's Society's Great American Smokeout this Thursday.
Janis Ellis-Claypool, health educator, said sponsoring meant the peer advisers would act as a support group while he tried to quit. This national day to quit smoking encourages people across America to stop smoking for one day in hopes that it will be forever.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins, said many students didn't realize that cigarettes were not only addicting, but deadly.
Hohl said he knew the side effects of smoking, but he started anyway, thinking he could quit at any time. According to the American Cancer Society, nearly one in five people in the United States — more than 400,000 people each year — will die from the use of tobacco. Based on research from the same statistic, a smoker could lose an average of 20 to 25 years from his life, meaning almost half of all smokers will die prematurely.
Rock said cigarette smoke and second-hand smoke not only significantly increased a person's risk of cancer and other irreversible harmful effects, but also could intensify other health problems.
"Smoking is an added burden to those with allergies and asthma," he said. "Second-hand smoke can magnify these symptoms."
But Watkins wants to help. The Great American Smokeout is a good time for students, friends and family members to quit smoking.
Health Promotions will be at Wescoe Beach and Watkins
WAYS TO HELP YOURSELF QUIT SMOKING
- List your reasons for quitting; refer to them whenever you feel the urge to smoke.
- Save your tobacco money in a separate jar or bank. Use it to buy yourself something special at the end of six months.
- Chew sugarless gum or munch on low-fat snacks when you get the urge to smoke or chew.
- Never carry matches or a lighter with you.

Ellis-Claypool said smoking affected everyone, even nonsmokers. She encouraged students to stop by and learn more about tobacco and its dangers.
Thursday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., registering smokers and nonsmokers for prizes and giving out free stop-smoking survival kits to help students try to quit.

F&O director learns the ropes
By Luke Wetzel Special to the Kansan
Facilities Operations — the department on campus that handles everything from electrical outlet repairs to building renovations — is moving forward with a new director.
Doug Riat officially assumed his duties July 1 and has since been planning for upcoming projects and reviewing processes recommended by last year's task force.
"A lot of what the year has been for me is getting a good understanding of the department and seeing what we can do." Riat said.
Upcoming projects include putting a corridor in Malot Hall that meets fire codes and converting the auditorium in Bailey Hall to offices — both $200,000 renovations.
Another project this year involves moving University Relations to the old Hilltop Child Development Center building
Although F&O handles
some of the University's construction programs, Riat said his primary obligation was to the variety of campus maintenance requests. About 140 of F&O's 400 employees work in housekeeping, he said.
"Today, it may be roof leaks," he said. "The next day, it may be landscaping issues or cleaning chemicals. Each day is so much different than the one before."
Riał said improvements this year came as a result of a task force that assessed the organization and business procedures of F&O and Design and Construction Management.
Changes in F&O include a new project manager position, a new utilities manager position and the zone maintenance program, which breaks down the campus into specific areas for designated F&O maintenance staff to cover.
"The good side of that is you have a fairly fast response time." Riat said.
Riat said his 15 years as
an assistant director at Design and Construction Management — the design and planning arm of construction — acquainted him with construction operations at the University.
"I very much like buildings and facilities and the infrastructure," he said. Jim Long, assistant provost, said Riat's experience made him a good candidate for job.
"I think Doug is a quiet, purposeful, organized and effective director," Long said. "He works very hard with his staff to provide services for the broad spectrum of the academic community. To do that, he has an excellent staff."
Riat also was quick to point out the loyalty and dedication of the FeO staff.
"There's a great group of people," Riat said. "They have a lot of talent and take a lot of pride in their work. I would like to improve our perception as a quality service provider to the University."

Dear pathetic wall of Stull. Well, old friend, you seem to have made quite a name for yourself. And as I stand before your crumbling frame, I find it all a little hard to believe.
Maybe you really are one of the gateways to hell, and maybe this elusive "devil child" really does drop in each Halloween. Just because I haven't personally visited one of Satan's equinoctial black masses doesn't mean they don't occur.
By now, Stull, you have probably heard these legends whispered by the uninvited visitors you entertain most every weekend in October. The stories are hard to ignore, retold in local newspapers, listed in anthologies of haunted places and passed from one folklorist to the next.
n't ever a believer. Far from it. Back in my day, I was your biggest fan this side of Highway 40. You should have seen me the first time I heard about you, my horrified face glowing in the campfire. Through friends' accounts, Internet sites and repeated listening to Black Sabbath, I learned everything about you I possibly could.
But like so many ambitious ghost-chasers before and after me, I had to see you for myself.
Just between you and me, I don't buy it
I remember my first trip on a rainy afternoon in July. My friend Dave and I parked on the side of the road and climbed the barbed wire fence. In the field behind you, we thought we saw the devil. Turns out it was just a man in a red flannel shirt, but the archetypal flash of color was enough to increase our pulses.

were thrown against your walls. I was told about the mysterious stairway that led to the underworld. I read about the old pine tree cut down by the authorities to quiet rumors about its haunted properties.
The second time I went was only a day later. After hearing my story, my other friends wanted to see you, too. I had already had my fun and was content to leave it at that. I went anyway.
Quite frankly, I was disappointed when I stepped inside your walls. Broken glass and budding trees were surrounded by spray-painted tributes to Korn and a few crude pentagrams. There was no real cause for concern. I offered Dave an empty Heineken bottle to throw, but he declined.
"My arms are too short to box with God," he said. I shrugged. It was up to me to put your evil to the test. I stood about 15 feet back and threw as hard as I could. I bounced. We ran.

I heard about the bottles that wouldn't break no matter how hard they
This time we didn't pull any punches. We drove right through the main gate, parking at the top of the cemetery. We threw more bottles, finally getting them to break. But even at midnight, there wasn't anything to be afraid of. It was only when we walked back to the car that the terror set in.
Down the hill from where we stood, two men were locking the cemetery gate with us inside.
Todd and I ran to his car while the men got in a truck and drove away. I managed to open the gate. Just as I got back in the car, the truck drove back toward us. Todd signaled left. The car moved in position to follow. We inched forward, turning right at the last second. The driver switched to reverse, driving backward alongside us for at least 10 seconds, yelling out his window from under a dark, wide-brimmed hat. He chased us all the way to Topeka.
I'm not the only one this has happened to. Year after year until 1989 — when deputies were stationed to hand out trespassing tickets
were crowds wearing masks — crowds have stood on your front lawn on Halloween, drinking beer and waiting for some kind of phantasmagoric pyrotechnics. But no dice. Satan has repeatedly left them in the lurch. The disappointment is equal to staying up and waiting for the tooth fairy, only to have your parents make you to bed halfway through the night. It hurts for a while, but you get over it.
Your legend will probably never die, at least not until they quit releasing Blair Witch films. But with another Halloween come and gone, students should consider that some spirits might be better off left alone — especially the ones that probably don't exist.
Now, I don't care what kinds of coyote noises people hear when they visit you. Cops and irritated farmers are the only things to be afraid of. If people want to visit a really scary, ominous place, they should check out the Watson library stacks or one of the local Taco Bells.

Election debacle calls for Electoral College ban
The Electoral College always existed without being noticed by most people. It was a mere constitutional formality that never made a difference — at least during the lifetime of anyone reading this column.
The question that arises after this crazy election is, "Who designed the Electoral College?"
If I didn't know the answer, I would be tempted to say it was someone such as Forrest Gump, Bill Gates or some Harvard statistics professor.
But who really designed the Electoral College?
The Founding Fathers, to the surprise of many, is the answer.
The Founding Fathers were theoretically a group of well-intentioned men who had to decide the electoral system that this country would adopt.
They had three options: the people, the Congress and the electors. The Founding Fathers chose the electors. But that was centuries ago.
However, they created most of the institutions Americans still cherish, and that's only one reason why most people in this country never questioned what the Founding Fathers did before this election.
Some of these men were presidents, while others founded Ivy League colleges such as the University of Pennsylvania. They were smart people. But this election hasn't been good for them.
I didn't have any civics classes in the United States, so it was only a couple of years ago that I learned that the so-called biggest democracy in the world decided its future by a weird system, which doesn't care how the majority of its people vote.
Cássio
Furtado

ogition@khanan.com
And a few days ago, I became aware that the United States still uses machines dating from the 1960s and 1970s to count its ballots. It's clearly not the Founding Fathers' fault.
I would say the reason for this mess — or history being made, as many say — is more on the hands of thousands of politicians who have been around since the Founding Fathers left the political scene to enter the history books.
The United States created the Internet but wasn't capable of replacing this system with one that treats everyone as having the same importance when deciding the country's future. This is wrong.
The Founding Fathers did what was best at the time, and that worked for a long time. This entire issue is a matter of realizing the Constitution is not perfect and immutable. The Electoral College should be respected now no matter who gets elected — but it should
There is no better way of deciding an election than making people have the same importance, no matter where they live. This election has been a worldwide joke, mainly because of the Electoral College.
— no matter who gets elected — but it should be abolished as soon as possible.
Elections are not supposed to involve complicated math. They should be very simple and straightforward: one person, one vote.
This was demonstrated by the Cuban and Russian offers to send observers to make sure that the will of the people is respected, by the number of lawsuits that are taking place and by the absurdity of even contemplating having a new election.
Florida's voters are not more important than you. This entire embarrassment to the United States wouldn't have happened if your vote really counted. The people decided overwhelmingly in favor of Al Gore, and the people's will is in serious risk of not being respected because of the Electoral College.

Editorial
Cyberscam shows peril of Internet
Fifteen-year-old scam artist swindles Internet investors, revealing online dangers.
The Securities and Exchange Commission wrapped up a massive pump-and-dump scheme involving 15-year-old Jonathan Lebed just weeks ago, ending a scam that left Lebed richer in the pocket and Internet investors angered.
Many investors said the scam took advantage of the industry and the market, while Lebed clung to youth and curiosity as his excuse. Both sides help reiterate that online transactions and communication has its risks.
The New Jersey teen was accused of posting false Internet stock tips on message boards and then selling his shares to curious investors at well above the prevailing market price. He bought massive amounts of small-company stock and then sent as many as 500 messages with fictitious names to Web sites, sometimes stating that the stock is expected to go up by 1,000 percent. While some investors bought his shares and some of the stocks went belly-up, Lebed was making thousands of dollars a day.
Although the SEC fixed Lebed more than $280,000 of his manipulated earnings, he was allowed to keep more than $500,000. In addition to returning some of the money to the U.S. Treasury, Lebed had to agree to a cease-and-desist order which, if broken, would lead to more serious consequences. There is no penalty against the companies that Lebed earned money off of or the investors who acted on anonymous Internet messages.
The Internet is a bathroom wall. People may simply read the messages, write or act on the messages, or choose to not participate at all. Whichever method of action is taken, it needs to be realized that falsehoods and truth often are blurred. Just as one cannot be sure who wrote a certain statement on a bathroom wall, one must question the truth behind a message on the Internet.
All Lebed is guilty of is lying. The decision made by Internet investors to jump on posted messages is not Lebed's fault, but the investors'. Most upset by this scam labeled Lebed as a thief, but it was gullibility that convicted investors this time.

Skier tried for 'reckless' death
Officials charge Colorado man in fatal collision
The Associated Press
EAGLE, Colo. — A man whose deadly collision with another skier at Vail prompted a safety crackdown by Colorado resorts went on trial for manslaughter yesterday, with prosecutors saying he ignored poor snow conditions as he sped down the mountain.
Nathan Hall, 21, collided with Allan Cobb, 33, after finishing his shift as a lift operator in April 1997. Cobb died a few minutes later.
Because it was the last day of the season, Hall should have known the snow was heavy and wet, like "mashed potatoes," prosecutor John Clune said during opening statements.
"He was bombing down the mountain," Clune said. "He was reckless. That is why
Allan isn't with us."
Defense attorney Brett Heckman asked the jury to recall popular opinion in the days before Michael Kennedy and Sonny Bono were killed in ski accidents.
"The evidence of skier safety awareness was not, unfortunately, as it is now," he said. "This has happened to anybody who skis."
Heckman has called the collision an accident and said skiing is a sport that carries an inherent danger.
Cobb's family sued Vail Resorts and won a settlement of an undisclosed amount. Hall is charged with reckless manslaughter, possession of alcohol by a minor and possession of marijuana. If convicted, he faces up to six years in prison.
Two courts dismissed the charges, ruling a reasonable person would not have expected skiing too fast to cause another person's death. But the Colorado Supreme Court overturned those decisions, setting the stage for Hall's trial.
The case is being closely watched amid growing complaints about speedy skiers and snowboarders. After Cobb's death, many Colorado resorts tightened their

James Chalat, who specializes in ski law, said the trial could affect the image of ski areas that are trying to portray a safe environment.
safety policies, threatening to strip season passes from hotdogging skiers and snowboarders. The National Ski Areas Association launched a safety awareness campaign a year ago.
"It will be a huge advantage for Colorado ski areas for the public to view Colorado as a state willing to enforce safe skiing policy with the full force of the law," he said. "Killing someone recklessly is not part of skiing."
The ski industry has put a priority on safety in recent years, with Vail creating a squad to catch speedy skiers and snowboarders. The number of deaths nationally declined from 39 in 1998-99 to 30 last year.
Group sues for pirated software
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A software trade group that conducted an online anti-piracy sting sued 13 Americans yesterday, alleging they sold bootleg software worth tens of thousands of dollars on Internet auction sites.
The Business Software Alliance, which represents software companies such as Microsoft Corp., Macromedia Inc. and Adobe Systems Inc., conducted the worldwide sting operation to fend off pirates and educate consumers. CD-ROM recorders and high-speed Internet connections have made it easy for bootleggers to peddle illegally copied software quickly and cheaply.
"Many of the people who once sold
pirated software programs at flea markets have now moved to Internet auction sites in the hopes of reaching online consumers," said Bob Kruger, vice president of enforcement at the BSA. "In the great majority of cases, what you see is not what you get, and what you get is illegal."
The sting is a new angle to the group's efforts, which has targeted Web sites and chat channels. Just last month, the Federal Trade Commission listed auction scams among its top 10 "dot-con" ploys for consumers to avoid.
The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, was brought after the Washington-based BSA paid about $1,600 during several months for software that sells in stores
for more than $50,000. The defendants face damages of up to $150,000 for each program they sold.
In most cases, the software was shown in online advertisements in a boxed package, but arrived as a single CD-ROM with the program name and its serial number written in marker on one side of the disk.
By punishing the defendants, the BSA hopes the effort will show consumers how they can be taken online. While the programs are cheap, Kruger warns that consumers won't get product support or upgrade offers, and the CD-ROMs are likely to contain viruses.
"In some cases, you can make the case that the consumer is as much of a victim as the publisher," Kruger said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Americans to pay a penny more for stamps
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — For the second time in two years, Americans are being asked to spend a penny more to mail a letter.
First-class stamps will cost 34 cents and other postal service rates will increase, but 20-cent postcards will remain unchanged. The price hikes are likely to take effect in early January.
After months of hearings and deliberations, the independent Postal Rate Commission approved the new rates yesterday to offset rising costs. But it rejected some of the Postal Service's proposed higher rates — such as a penny more to send postcards and one cent more for a letter's second ounce.
The commission also for the first time set a one-pound Priority Mail rate of $3.50. Until now, people sending anything up to two pounds have paid the $3.20 two-pound rate. It also raised the two-pound rate to $3.95.
"While rates will go up, they will go up not quite as much as the Postal Service proposed," said commission chairperson Edward Gleiman.
Beyond the penny increase, each additional ounce of first-class postage, up to 11 ounces, will be shaved from 22 cents to 21
cents.
The Postal Service had hoped for a 6 percent increase overall in postage rates for all classes of mail, but the five-member commission granted only a 4.6 percent overall increase.
By law, the Postal Service's budget must break even each year, and the commission decided that could be done with a smaller increase.
It is now up to the post office Board of Governors to decide when the higher rates will go into effect. That decision likely will occur at its scheduled meeting the first week of December.
Student dies from drinking
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A University of Michigan engineering student died yesterday after celebrating his 21st birthday with 20 shots of scotch in 10 minutes, police said.
The Associated Press
Byung Soo Kim was blue and unconscious when he was found early Saturday. He died at a hospital, where he had been admitted with a blood-alcohol level of 0.39 percent, nearly four times the legal limit for driving, police said.
Eleven friends had gathered in an apartment building Friday night to celebrate Kim's birthday. Police said Kim was trying to down a shot for every year of his life but passed out after the 20th drink.
Friends told investigators they put him in the back bedroom and discovered he was not breathing when they checked on him an hour later.
"If he was 20, there would be a lot more to investigate," said Sgt. Michael Logghe. "Since he's 21 and allegedly made the purchase legally himself, there's no crime in what occurred."
BRADENTON, Fla. — A teenage driver seriously injured in an accident is suing the city because a police officer failed to arrest him for drunken driving minutes before the crash.
The Associated Press
Richard L. Garcia filed suit last week, alleging that officers who found him in a 1999 disturbance told him to drive home. He crashed his car minutes later, rupturing his aorta.
"He's got a plastic aorta now," said attorney Wade Thompson. "For a (teen-ager), that's pretty wicked."
Drunken driver sues police after accident
Garcia and his mother, Betty Hernandez, are seeking damages exceeding $15,000. They said Garcia's medical bills are nearing $100,000.
City officials declined to comment.
Police went to a home at 1:20 a.m. Feb. 9, 1999, after a man found Garcia climbing into his step-daughter's window. She had apparently invited him in, police said.

Thompson said Garcia, then 16, was obviously drunk — he stumbled, his car was parked cockeyed and numerous open beer cans were visible in the vehicle. But the officers let him drive away he said.
"They walked him to his car and put him in," Thompson said.
A few minutes after Garcia drove away from the girl's home, he missed a curve and slammed into a tree.
Bradenton officer Robert Semler made no mention in his report that Garcia was drunk. Semler later resigned from the department after admitting to a cocaine habit.
Garcia's blood-alcohol level was found to be double the legal limit for adults and almost 10 times the limit for minors. He later pleaded guilty to drunken driving and received one year probation and a fine.

Officials charge Colorado man in fatal collision
The Associated Press
EAGLE, Colo. — A man whose deadly collision with another skier at Vail prompted a safety crackdown by Colorado resorts went on trial for manslaughter yesterday, with prosecutors saying he ignored poor snow conditions as he sped down the mountain.
Nathan Hall, 21, collided with Allan Cobb, 33, after finishing his shift as a lift operator in April 1997. Cobb died a few minutes later.
Because it was the last day of the season, Hall should have known the snow was heavy and wet, like "mashed potatoes," prosecutor John Clune said during opening statements.
"He was bombing down the mountain," Clune said. "He was reckless. That is why
Allan isn't with us."
Defense attorney Brett Heckman asked the jury to recall popular opinion in the days before Michael Kennedy and Sonny Bono were killed in ski accidents.
"The evidence of skier safety awareness was not, unfortunately, as it is now," he said. "This has happened to anybody who skis."
Heckman has called the collision an accident and said skiing is a sport that carries an inherent danger.
Cobb's family sued Vail Resorts and won a settlement of an undisclosed amount. Hall is charged with reckless manslaughter, possession of alcohol by a minor and possession of marijuana. If convicted, he faces up to six years in prison.
Two courts dismissed the charges, ruling a reasonable person would not have expected skiing too fast to cause another person's death. But the Colorado Supreme Court overturned those decisions, setting the stage for Hall's trial.
The case is being closely watched amid growing complaints about speedy skiers and snowboarders. After Cobb's death, many Colorado resorts tightened their

safety policies, threatening to strip season passes from hotdogging skiers and snowboarders. The National Ski Areas Association launched a safety awareness campaign a year ago.
James Chalat, who specializes in ski law, said the trial could affect the image of ski areas that are trying to portray a safe environment.
"It will be a huge advantage for Colorado ski areas for the public to view Colorado as a state willing to enforce safe skiing policy with the full force of the law," he said. "Killing someone recklessly is not part of skiing."
The ski industry has put a priority on safety in recent years, with Vail creating a squad to catch speedy skiers and snowboarders. The number of deaths nationally declined from 39 in 1998-99 to 30 last year.
Group sues for pirated software
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A software trade group that conducted an online anti-piracy sting sued 13 Americans yesterday, alleging they sold bootleg software worth tens of thousands of dollars on Internet auction sites.
The Business Software Alliance, which represents software companies such as Microsoft Corp., Macromedia Inc. and Adobe Systems Inc., conducted the worldwide sting operation to fend off pirates and educate consumers. CD-ROM recorders and high-speed Internet connections have made it easy for bootleggers to peddle illegally copied software quickly and cheaply.
"Many of the people who once sold
pirated software programs at flea markets have now moved to Internet auction sites in the hopes of reaching online consumers," said Bob Kruger, vice president of enforcement at the BSA. "In the great majority of cases, what you see is not what you get, and what you get is illegal."
The sting is a new angle to the group's efforts, which has targeted Web sites and chat channels. Just last month, the Federal Trade Commission listed auction scams among its top 10 "dot-con" ploys for consumers to avoid.
The suit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California, was brought after the Washington-based BSA paid about $1,600 during several months for software that sells in stores
for more than $50,000. The defendants face damages of up to $150,000 for each program they sold.
In most cases, the software was shown in online advertisements in a boxed package, but arrived as a single CD-ROM with the program name and its serial number written in marker on one side of the disk.
By punishing the defendants, the BSA hopes the effort will show consumers how they can be taken online. While the programs are cheap, Kruger warns that consumers won't get product support or upgrade offers, and the CD-ROMs are likely to contain viruses.
"In some cases, you can make the case that the consumer is as much of a victim as the publisher," Kruger said in an interview with The Associated Press.
Americans to pay a penny more for stamps
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — For the second time in two years, Americans are being asked to spend a penny more to mail a letter.
First-class stamps will cost 34 cents and other postal service rates will increase, but 20-cent postcards will remain unchanged. The price hikes are likely to take effect in early January.
After months of hearings and deliberations, the independent Postal Rate Commission approved the new rates yesterday to offset rising costs. But it rejected some of the Postal Service's proposed higher rates — such as a penny more to send postcards and one cent more for a letter's second ounce.
The commission also for the first time set a one-pound Priority Mail rate of $3.50. Until now, people sending anything up to two pounds have paid the $3.20 two-pound rate. It also raised the two-pound rate to $3.95.
"While rates will go up, they will go up not quite as much as the Postal Service proposed," said commission chairperson Edward Gleiman.
Beyond the penny increase, each additional ounce of first-class postage, up to 11 ounces, will be shaved from 22 cents to 21
cents.
The Postal Service had hoped for a 6 percent increase overall in postage rates for all classes of mail, but the five-member commission granted only a 4.6 percent overall increase.
By law, the Postal Service's budget must break even each year, and the commission decided that could be done with a smaller increase.
It is now up to the post office Board of Governors to decide when the higher rates will go into effect. That decision likely will occur at its scheduled meeting the first week of December.
Student dies from drinking
ANN ARBOR, Mich. — A University of Michigan engineering student died yesterday after celebrating his 21st birthday with 20 shots of scotch in 10 minutes, police said.
The Associated Press
Byung Soo Kim was blue and unconscious when he was found early Saturday. He died at a hospital, where he had been admitted with a blood-alcohol level of 0.39 percent, nearly four times the legal limit for driving, police said.
Eleven friends had gathered in an apartment building Friday night to celebrate Kim's birthday. Police said Kim was trying to down a shot for every year of his life but passed out after the 20th drink.
Friends told investigators they put him in the back bedroom and discovered he was not breathing when they checked on him an hour later.
"If he was 20, there would be a lot more to investigate," said Sgt. Michael Loghge. "Since he's 21 and allegedly made the purchase legally himself, there's no crime in what occurred."
The Associated Press
BRADENTON, Fla. — A teenage driver seriously injured in an accident is suing the city because a police officer failed to arrest him for drunken driving minutes before the crash.
Drunken driver sues police after accident
Richard L. Garcia filed suit last week, alleging that officers who found him in a 1999 disturbance told him to drive home. He crashed his car minutes later, rupturing his aorta.
"He's got a plastic aorta now," said attorney Wade Thompson. "For a (teen-ager), that's pretty wicked."
Garcia and his mother, Betty Hernandez, are seeking damages exceeding $15,000. They said Garcia's medical bills are nearing $100,000.
City officials declined to comment
Police went to a home at 1:20 a.m. Feb. 9, 1999,
after a man found Garcia climbing into his step-
daughter's window. She had apparently invited
him in, police said.
Thompson said Garcia, then 16, was obviously drunk — he stumbled, his car was parked cockeyed and numerous open beer cans were visible in the vehicle. But the officers let him drive away, he said.
"They walked him to his car and put him in." Thompson said.
A few minutes after Garcia drove away from the girl's home, he missed a curve and slammed into a tree.
Bradenton officer Robert Semler made no mention in his report that Garcia was drunk. Semler later resigned from the department after admitting to a crack cocaine habit.
Garcia's blood-alcohol level was found to be double the legal limit for adults and almost 10 times the limit for minors. He later pleaded guilty to drunken driving and received one year probation and a fine.

Putin suggests deeper nuclear cuts
The Associated Press
MOSCOW — In a bold new arms control gambit, Russian President Vladimir Putin said yesterday that Russia and the United States could make drastic cuts in their nuclear arsenals far beyond existing proposals.
Putin, who is pushing to downsize a huge military that Russia can no longer afford, said the former Cold War opponents need not stop at the 1,500-warhead limit Russia has been advocating up until now. He did not propose any specific numbers.
"It's not the limit," he said in a statement issued by the Kremlin. "We are ready to consider lower levels in the future. We don't see reasons which would hamper further deep cuts in strategic offensive weapons. There should be no pause in nuclear disarmament."

After years of delay, Russia's parliament in April ratified the START II arms reduction treaty, which would roughly halve arsenals to about 3,500 warheads each. As soon as the treaty has into effect, the sides have tentatively agreed to go ahead with a START III treaty that envisages further cuts, from 2,000 to 2,500 warheads.
about $5.1 billion on defense -- compared with annual U.S. defense spending of around $290 billion.
Analysts say the United States has roughly 7,500 nuclear weapons, while Russia has between 6,000 and 7,000. START II has not taken effect, because the Russian parliament added conditions not yet ratified by the U.S. Senate.
Last week, Putin approved a military reform plan that would cut the 3 million uniformed and civilian personnel in the overall military establishment by about 20 percent.
The cash-strapped Russian government is under pressure to cut military spending, which makes up one third of the federal budget even though Russia spends only
Most experts believe that Russia wants deep nuclear cuts because it can't afford to keep up its forces even at START II levels and wants to preserve nuclear equality with the United States. Russia has only been able to build a handful of nuclear missiles in recent years, too few to replace the hundreds of weapons approaching the ends of their service lives.
"It's very important for Russia to persuade the United States to also cut its arsenals, to avoid a unilateral disarmament," said Dmitry Trenin, an analyst for the Carnegie Endowment.
World Court hears case about U.S. death penalty
The Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Angered by Arizona's execution of two of its German-born citizens, Germany accused the United States yesterday of breaking international law.
In a case before the World Court, Germany sued the United States about the executions of brothers Walter and Karl LaGrand, who were condemned for the 1982 murder of a bank manager during a botched robbery in Arizona and put to death in 1999 despite vigorous German protests.
Germany maintained in a document summarizing the case that poverty and inadequate counsel are key factors in determining whether capital punishment is sought, imposed or carried out in America.
The suit, which comes at a time of increasing protests worldwide against U.S. executions of foreign nationals, does not contest the United States' right to use the death penalty but contends the LaGrands' rights were violated when they were detained without the option of contacting their consular representative as required by the 1963 Vienna Convention on Consular Relations.
"This state of affairs is of great significance ... especially when irreversible decisions such as the imposition and execution of the death penalty are at stake," said Gerhard
"This state of affairs is of great significance ... especially when irreversible decisions such as the imposition and execution of the death penalty are at stake"
Gerhard Westidickenberg chief representative of the German government
Westdickenberg said Arizona officials were aware of the LaGrands' German nationality in April 1982 but did not inform the German consulate of the detention until 1992.

State Department legal adviser James H.
Tessin will give the U.S. response today.
Germany said proper consular aid could have saved the convicts' lives. Germany wants the court to declare that the United States "violated its international legal obligations."
The German delegation also demands that America pay unspecified reparations and guarantee that the acts will not be repeated.
German youths sentenced after Algerian's death
COTTBUS, Germany — A German court convicted eight youths of manslaughter yesterday in the death of an Algerian who was fatally injured while fleeing a group of neo-Nazis.
Only three received jail terms,prompting outrage from the victim's family.
The Associated Press
Three men received 2-3 year sentences, while five received probation. Three other youths were convicted of causing bodily harm and were either given warnings or probation. The men ranged in age from 18 to 21.
Police said the youths chased Omar Ben Noul, 28, and two friends by car through the eastern German town of Guben at night following a dispute at a disco on Feb. 13. 1990
They shouted racist insults out the windows, then tried to block the man's way. Terrified, Noul broke through a glass door at a housing project, severing an artery. He bled to death in the building's vestibule.
The Cottbus state court sentenced Daniel Rausher, 20, to three years in prison and Denny Tarnick, 20, to two years and eight months. Alexander Bode, 21, drew a two-year term. These three men received jail terms because they were charged with additional racist attacks.
Parliament President Wolfgang Thierse had called the trial's 17-month-duration scandalous and said the defendants could hardly feel punished if "they go back home every evening and, in effect, celebrate their return as a victory."

Shockers still hopeful, despite rank
The Associated Press
WICHITA, Kan. — First-year Wichita State basketball coach Mark Turgeon understands why his Shockers are picked last in the Missouri Valley Conference — but he doesn't see them as a last-place team.
The Shockers were ninth last season in the 10-team league and lost their best player, Jason Perez, the 1997 MVC freshman of the year. But Turgeon expects steady progress from his 12-17 team.
"I've been pleasantly surprised at the skill level of our players," said Turgeon, who played at Kansas and
coached at Jacksonville (Ala.) State before moving to Wichita. "We know that our
wsu
national perception is not great, but right now there is a lot of hope and optimism."
The Shockers open the regular season at home against Kansas State on Tuesday, Nov. 21.
"There's a lot of competitiveness on our team," center Willie Davis said. "The players all want to turn this around."
Turgeon will count heavily on
seniors Troy Mack, O.J. Robinson and Michael Phillips, and junior Craig Steven, Terrell Benton and Davis.
"When I got here all I heard was how the post players weren't that good," Turgeon said. "That's not what I found. All five of our post players have been doing well, especially Trov."
Newcomers include C.C. McFall, who led Southeastern of Iowa to the national junior college championship last season, and Duke Tshomba, a native of Brussels, Belgium, who played at Santa Monica, Calif., Junior College.
"I think the new players are going to surprise some people," Benton said. "I'm fully confident in the players that Coach Turgeon brought in here."
While Turgeon says nothing would make him happier than to beat Kansas State Tuesday and Oklahoma State on Wednesday, Dec. 6, he knows it will take some time and patience before the Shockers win regularly.
"We have a lot of versatility which means we can go big, slow or fast," he said. "It is a comfortable feeling as a coach, but it's going to take time for us to figure all of it out."
Martinez wins second Cy Young award
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Pedro Martinez became the first pitcher to win the American League Cy Young award unanimously in consecutive years.
Martinez, who has won three Cy Youngs in the past four seasons, received all 28 votes for 140 points in voting released yesterday by the Baseball Writers'
Association of America.
"I'm really honored and flattered to be chosen unanimously as the winner." Martinez said. "It is equally special and equally important to last year."
Oakland's Tim Hudson finished second with 54 points, getting 16 seconds and six thirds. David Wells of Toronto was third with 46 points, followed by Andy Pettitt of the Yankees (7)
and Detroit's Todd Jones (3).
This was just the fourth time a pitcher won outright back-to-back Cy Young Awards in the AL. Roger Clemens, the pitcher Martinez replaced in Boston, did it in 1968-67 with the Red Sox and 1997-98 for Toronto. Jim Palmer won in 1975-76 for Baltimore.
Detroit's Denny McLain won the Cy Young in 1969
Martinez went 18-6 with a 1.74 ERA—nearly two runs better than Clemens' second-best AL mark of 3.70. It was the lowest ERA by an AL starter since Luis Tiant's 1.60 ERA in 1968.
to the wins from last year. I haven't compared the numbers."
"This is equally as good a season, maybe better," Martinez said. "There are other things that contribute
Last year, Martinez went 23-4 with a 2.07 ERA to become only the fourth pitcher to win the AL Cy Young Award unanimously. He also joined Gaylord Perry and Randy Johnson as the only pitchers to win the honor in each league. Martinez won it in 1997 for Montreal.
Weary Chiefs knocked down by young 49ers
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — As Jim Mora rebuilt the San Francisco 49ers defense during the last two seasons, the defensive coordinator begged fans for patience with his young, raw players.
For one day at least,he waited no longer.
Spearheaded by Lance Schulters' vicious hits and a pass rush led by Bryant Young, the defense played
its best game in nearly a year,
helping San Francisco beat the
Kansas City Chiefs 21-7 on Sunday.
"We've been (waiting) to see this since draft day." Mora said.
Charlie Garner rushed for 102 yards and a touchdown, and Jeff Garcia threw for 244 yards and ran for two more scores helping the 49ers (3-8) snap their five-game losing streak and knock the Chiefs (5-5) even further behind Oakland in the AFC West race.
Improbably, San Francisco's defense — the league's worst in six statistical categories — dominated Kansas City's offense, which managed just 290 yards. The Chiefs had scored 109 points in their past three games, and passed for a team-record 504 yards last week against the Raiders.
Young had two critical sacks in the fourth quarter for the 49ers, who hadn't held a team to seven points since the Atlanta Falcons,
next week's opponent, managed just one TD on Dec. 12, 1999.
The Chiefs gained just 107 yards in the first half and needed Donnell Bennett's 1-yard TD run with 6:27 left to avoid being shut out.
"When you start the game and you don't get that really good feeling, you get a little bit worried about it," Chiefs coach Gunther Cunningham said. "I just don't feel like we're clicking, and we certainly didn't today."
Miami, Florida State switch poll positions
The Associated Press
No debate this week. Miami moved ahead of Florida State into second place in the Bowl Championship Series standings.
Miami (0-1), with its 35-7 victory against Pittsburgh (5-4), moved ahead of Florida State by 48 points.
Oklahoma (9-0), with its come-from-behind 35-31 victory against Texas A&M, remained first in the standings that determine who plays in a national title game, while Florida State (10-1) fell to third after a less-than-dominating 35-6 win against Wake Forest (1-8).
For two weeks, Oklahoma,
Miami and Florida State were 1-2-3
in the AP media poll and the USA
Today'ESPN coaches polls.
More changes are coming next week after Florida (9-1), fourth in the BCS standings, plays at Florida State Saturday.
The teams that finish 1-2 in the final BCS standings, which will be released Sunday, Dec. 3, will play in a national title game in the Orange Bowl on Wednesday, Jan. 3. The standings are based on a formula that incorporates the AP poll plus the coaches' poll, eight computer rankings, schedule strength and number of losses.
The BCS was created two years ago to come up with a national title game without instituting a playoff. After the top two teams are decided, the remaining BCS games select from the remaining pool of qualified teams.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 14).
Set long-range goals. November is perfect for planning; you’re full of ideas. Clean out the well in December so I’ll produce what you need for a long time. You love learning in January; practice new skills then. Don’t travel, though. A setback in February’s tough, but you can get past it. Save time in March for romance. Hustle up new business in April and do it in May. Stash away a fortune in June. A message is more likely to get through in July than you are. Assess your progress in October and make plans for the next phase.
Aries (March 21-April 19)
Today is a 4. You need to move carefully. It will be easy to hurt people's feelings and hard to make up. Others have expectations; some you know about and some you don't. Pretend you're walking through a minefield and you should do fine.
Taurus (April 20-May 20)
Today is an 8. Some people are having a tough time, but you seem to be above the fray. Your experience and a good partner's help give you a definite advantage. Use it to assist somebody who's quickly becoming overwhelmed.
Gemini (May 21-June 21)
Today is a 5. Be careful. Stay out of traffic and don't make assumptions. Don't take anybody or anything for granted. Call to remind people of things they said they'd do and places they said they'd be. It's more work for you, but your chances of success will improve.
Cancer (June 22-July 22)
Today is a 6. A disagreement with a roommate could disrupt your shopping trip. To avoid a confrontation, pay separately for the special items that you want. If you don't get everything talked out tonight, don't worry. Sleep on it. Things will look better in the morning.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22)
Today is a 6. Don't get your hopes up too high. That raise you were looking for may not come through for a while. That doesn't mean you won't get it eventually. Be patient and don't let your imagination run wild. Your plans may take a little longer than expected.
Today is a 4. You want to be assertive, but it's not a good idea. Others are a little edgy. You don't need to raise your voice. Stifle, and you're more likely to get your point across without ruffling as many feathers.
Today is a 4. An older person, a woman most likely, is liable to say something nasty. You want to snap back, but that's not a good idea. Don't tell anybody what you really think, especially this person who's being irritated. This is a test.
Today is a 7. You're strong and you have a good team on your side. You have a good partner, too. Don't spend too much money, though. An item you're not familiar with may cost a lot less than advertised. Offer your good advice to a friend who's having troubles.
Today is a 3. Something you've been told isn't true. It doesn't matter if the person who told you out-ranks you. Don't gamble, either. Keep your money in your pocket and your opinion to yourself. Check with other sources on that information you're wondering about.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19)
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21)
Today is a 7. You're good at choosing your words. That's the challenge. Rumors spread like wildfire when tensions are high. Pull rank, if necessary, to stay in control. Don't get people upset by telling them something they don't need to know yet.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18)
Aquarius 2014 Oct. 10
Today is a 3. Your fantasy doesn't match reality yet. Your latest innovative idea needs to stay on hold just a little longer. The person who's paying the bills isn't going for it.
You won't lose a thing by waiting.
I PROPOSE WE CELL WEB
SITES A NEW WAY...
Today is a 6. This isn't a good day to travel. The meeting you're planning to attend won't turn out as well as expected, anyway. Can you get a rain check? Somebody you care about would like to tell you a story. It would be nice if you could be there to hear it.

LOS ANGELES — Hollywood has served up enough turkeys for one year. After a so-so year of movies, the industry hits the home stretch with one of the most promising slates of holiday films in recent times.
Holiday movies expected to revive box office revenues
From now through year's end, though, box-office analysts and studio executives expect audiences to crowd cinemas for a stream of big movies.
Like the children's book and the 1960s TV cartoon on which it is based, the movie has charms that will appeal to young and old.
This year has produced solid hits, but movie attendance is down and the box office is only now recovering from a midsummer drought.
The Associated Press
Meet the Parents and Charlie's Angels helped prime things, and the holiday movie season begins in earnest this weekend as Jim Carrey visits Whoville, the Rugrats visit Paris and Arnold Schwarzenegger visits a cloning clinic and busts up the joint.
"Everybody, even as early as late last year, we were looking at this
"It evolved pretty naturally out of the spirit of Dr. Seuss," said Grinch director Ron Howard "The reason his stuff endures so well is it's smart and it's funny. It doesn't really talk down to kids, and, therefore, adults see a lot of wit and ideas and comedy in it."
The Grinch has built up a psychological "callus against all the people who shunned him." Carrey said at the movie's premiere. "Cindy Lou comes along like some sort of emotional pedicure and scrapes him down to the nerve."
November and saying this is going to be an incredible month, and even the whole holiday season in general," said Robert Bucksbaum, who tracks the box office for Reel Source Inc. "From now until basically the end of the year, we're going to have one hit after another."

As soon as bowls were gone, the Kansas football team has struggled to find motivation to finish the season with a victory in years past.
So motivation is exactly what the Jayhawks are looking for as they prepare for their season finale against Iowa State Saturday in Ames, Iowa.
Kansas is 1-2 in season finals under coach Terry Allen, including a loss two years ago at Iowa State. Kansas won last year's game at home against Iowa State, 91-26, finishing the season 5-7.
Kansas has a history of either winning big or losing big during the season, so the nail-biter against the Cyclones was an exciting finish to the season. The outcome was not determined until Carl Nesmith's blocked field goal late in the fourth quarter.
"That was a fun game for us," Nesmith said.
At the time, Kansas thought the win would offer some type of momentum toward this season.
But this year, perhaps only Iowa State took anything away from last
year's finale. Iowa State is 7-3 and bowl-elegible, while the Jayhawks, 4-6, will finish with no postseason game to look forward to.
In Kansas' defense, however, the Jayhawks are 3-2 under Allen in games after bowl eligibility is no longer an issue. Last year, Kansas lost to Nebraska, 24-17, ending its postseason aspirations, but bounced back and won two of its last three games.
Kansas and Iowa State have had similar histories the past four years, but Iowa State is finally enjoying the fruits of a breakthrough year.
"Iowa State has done a great job this season of getting themselves into a position to go to a bowl game." Allen said.
Kansas had plenty of time to absorb the thought of its bowl hopes being shattered in Saturday's 51-16 loss to Texas. Naturally, there was still some shock left over. After playing well in must-win games earlier this year, the Longhorns just had too much bower.
"After we beat Missouri and Colorado, we thought we had this thing turned around," said Kansas cornerback Andrew Davison.
One smart cookie: Kansas senior linebacker Tim Bowers has been selected to the 2000 Verizon Academic All-District VII football team. The group was picked by the College Sports Information Directors of America.
Briefly ...
This marks the third time Bowers has been selected. Bowers, a two-year starter at linebacker, has a 3.22 grade point average in political science and premedicine. He has started all 10 games this year and ranks second among linebackers in tackles.
And the winners are Kansas' coaches named the following award-winners after Saturday's game: Carl Nesmith, defensive player of the game; Derick Mills, offensive player of the game; Termaine Fulton, special-teams player of the game; Kareem High, hit of the game for his first-quarter shot on Texas running back Hodges Mitchell; Andrew Davison, play of the game for his 43-yard interception-return touchdown; and tight end Jason Farley and linebacker Randy Withers, scout teams of the week.

Tournament frustrates bowlers
The University of Kansas bowling teams never got the ball rolling the right way this weekend at the Great Lakes Collegiate Tournament in Chicago.
The Kansas men's team finished 14th out of 40 teams, and the women finished 14th out of 25 teams.
However, Partridge said he was not happy with how the team bowled overall.
Tom Partridge, Olathe senior, led the men's team, averaging 212 per game. Marc D'Errico, Rochester, N.Y., freshman, and Jesse James, Lawrence sophomore, averaged 202 a game, placing them 43rd and 45th out of 247 bowlers.
"I think we showed some positive signs, but we are clearly not where we want to be right now," he said. "Overall, I was disappointed with how we did."
One reason for the disappointing performance was that the teams were not familiar with the lane condition. The lanes were applied with more oil than was standard at most tournaments.
The Midwestern schools flexed their muscles with Central Missouri State and Wichita State finishing first and second. Nebraska finished fifth overall.
"I felt they performed well on the condition we faced, and we battled through some of the deficiencies we have on the team right now," said assistant coach Brian Schmidtberger.
Tiffany McBurney, Albany, Ore., junior, led the Kansas women. McBurney finished 28th out of 159 bowlers with a 183 average. Barri Forkos, Hanover Park, Ill., senior, finished 37th with an average of 179 a game.
Forkos said the team needed to practice more for it to achieve the level it was reaching for.
"Once our women's team focuses our practices on meticulously watching each other's games and can help each other make adjustments, then we will be competitive
Nebraska, Wichita State and Central Missouri State paced the women's field, finishing first, second and fourth respectively.
at any tournament." Forkos said.
The coaches from the Kansas bowling teams agreed that more practice was needed for the teams to improve before the next tournament.
"We need to work on accuracy and consistency drills," Schmidtbterger said. "We (the men's team) wanted to finish higher than we did, but we understand that it is a long year."
The teams will compete in the National Collegiate Match Games Sunday, Nov. 26, and Monday, Nov. 27, in St. Louis.
Coach Mike Fine said more communication and better shots were a must for the teams in St. Louis.
TRIVIA ANSWER: Kansas City Cheffs' Len Dawson
"We need to continue to work on our communication between the team and make better shots to be more competitive in the future," he said.

Freshmen get chance to shine
By Michael Riag
sports@kanson.com
Kanson sportswriter
Forget about getting tossed into the fire.
For Kansas basketball freshmen Mario Kinsey and Bryant Nash, last week was like sitting in Bremuda for a week without sunscreen, getting thrown back in time and subjected to Quantrill's burning of Lawrence, getting basted and cooked for Thanksgiving dinner, and then getting tossed into the fire.
Most freshmen start their college careers with relative anonymity at home, beating up on one of those schools with a hyphen or a direction — such as southwest or northwest or just west — in their names.
But Kinsey and Nash started their college basketball lives on national television, at Madison Square Garden in New York, playing the likes of UCLA and St. John's.
To make matters more intimidat
ing, an injury to forward Luke Axtell and foul trouble by point guard Kirk Hinrich meant the two not only had to play a lot, but were relied on to become key elements in the Kansas wins.
With the two victories, the Jayhawks jumped three spots in the Associated Press poll to No. 4—and they may not have escaped New York unscathed without both freshmen.
Point guard Kinsey logged 17 minutes against St. John's on Friday, scoring four points to go along with four assists. Forward Nash, meanwhile, didn't play as much, but scored his first points as a collegian with a key dunk as St. John's was surging with just under seven minutes to go in the first half.
"Coming here, I really didn't think I'd get so much playing time this early," Kinsey said. "It meant a lot."
Throughout Friday's game,
Kinsey was matched against talkative
St. John's freshman Omar
Cook. Kinsey, who also is known to be confident, didn't back down from Cook's attempts to intimidate. In fact, Kinsey relished the role of helping limit Cook to 6-for-20 shooting from the floor.
"A lot of people say I'm conceived, but I'd just say I'm confident," Kinsey said. "I know deep inside that I have the ability to compete."
Nash's ego is a complete U-turn from that of Kinsey. A subdued Texan, the backup forward calls reporters "sir" and "ma'm" while answering questions with a subdued expression.
The Jayhawks may need Nash more in the coming weeks. Axell's sprained ankle will keep him sidelined until after Thanksgiving. But instead of lamenting the loss, Kansas is just giving thanks for its two freshmen.
"I'm still trying to adjust," Nash said.

Experience expected to guide lacrosse club
By Michael Sudhalter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter

The Kansas women's lacrosse club will rely on the experience of 15 returning members to compete in the nation's No.5 regional division this spring.
The team hopes to build on a two-game split with Truman State in a fall exhibition game as it heads into the spring season. But if Kansas wants to have a successful season, it will have to build its team unity and integrate 10 new members into the program.

Our main recruiting areas are St. Louis and Denver," Wiley said. "But we also have Kansas natives who pick up the game when they come to college. Lacrosse is right on the edge of exploding in the Midwest."
The Jayhawks return an unproven goalkeeper who hails from the heart of a lacrosse hotbed.
Coach Dave Wiley, who played lacrosse at Division III Wittenburg, is entering his fourth season of coaching at Kansas. Wiley said players were recruited from other Midwestern areas, and the team also included inexperienced Kansans.
Amy Fortney, Syracuse, N.Y., junior, transferred to Kansas from Hamilton College in upstate New York where she did not play lacrosse competitively. But Fortney played the sport as a youth; lacrosse was a unit in her gym classes.
Fortney said she embraced the challenge of being the goalkeeper in a fast-paced sport.
"It is a challenge to read other teams' offenses and to keep the defense informed." Fortney said. "This team has a lot of potential."
To reach its full potential, the club must develop its team unity. Some team members have learned the difference between a team sport and an individual one.
"Lacrosse is an exciting team sport," said Jill Tisdale, lawrence junior. "It has been a big adjustment from the individual game of tennis."
Lauren Waterson, Manhattan sophomore and a former high school swimmer, said she enjoyed the team atmosphere.
"Lacrosse has a lot less individual focus than swimming did," Waterson said. "It is nice to be part of a team again."
The Hawks have set a goal of placing second in their seven-team division, which is made up of Illinois, Iowa, Knox College, Missouri, Truman State and Washington University of St. Louis.
Jesse Bird, Olathe sophomore and club co-president, said the club would like to finish higher than in previous seasons.
If the club reaches its goal, it will travel to Toledo, Ohio, this spring for the Women's Collegiate Lacrosse League Championships.

Women's basketball defeats Travelers
By Zac Hunter
Sure, the 19-point victory wasn't spectacular; the Jayhawks were down by double-digits in the first half and trailed by three at halftime. But the second half was a different story, as they outscored their Hungarian guests by 22 points in the last 20 minutes.
After the Kansas women's basketball team beat the Basketball Travelers 69-50 Wednesday, there was an air of subdued confidence among the players.

Kansan sportswriter
The confidence came from the fact that the Kansas starting lineup had minimal time to practice as a group.
"Those five people only practiced together once, and we were able to click and read each other so well," said senior forward Jaclyn Johnson.
Coach Marian Washington said she hadn't known who her starters would be until the day of the game, and no positions had
been solidified yet.
"I didn't go with a specific lineup until today," she said. "I worked with a certain crew yesterday, but I'm still not sure about who I'm going to start, particularly in the five spot."
The confidence also comes from the five newcomers who got into the game and all managed to contribute in some way. Junior guard KC Hilgenkamp had seven points and six assists. Freshman guard Lella Mengtic and junior guard Fernanda Bosi combined for 28 minutes against the Travelers.
Senior guard Jennifer Jackson said the team had its weak moments, but everyone pulled together in the second half to get the win.
"Getting out there and doing it for the first time was something that we had to go through," Jackson said. "I'm glad it's over so we can move on from here."
So where do the 'Hawks go from here?
According to Johnson, they have nowhere to so but up. She said the team
would be incredible when the players got more familiar with each other.
Before the game, Washington said this game served as a good chance to learn about her team's strengths and weaknesses.
The biggest weakness was the first-half defense. The Jayhawks didn't get back on defense, so the Travelers took many uncontested shots. The visitors pushed the tempo, and Kansas didn't respond very well.
Facing a substantial deficit in the first half, the 'Hawks found a way to turn the game around and wound up running away with it.
"When you are scrambling, you really have to talk, and I don't think we that we communicated very well until the second half." Washington said.
But through that weakness, Washington may have found one of Kansas' greatest strengths — resiliency.
"To their credit, they didn't give up." Washington said of her team.

Monday Night Football linked to low test scores on Tuesdays
If you haven't heard the late-breaking news, it has now been declared official — Monday Night Football and low test scores are related.
See if this sounds familiar: You're sitting at home on a Monday night before a big test. You're cramming, things are going pretty well, and then you turn on MNF and all hell breaks loose. You stop studying and thus begin the journey down the road to that D-.
Sure, some people could argue if you kept up on your reading during the semester, you wouldn't need to cram the night before a big test. But that's not really the point.
Students will have plenty of time to cram the night before, grades will improve and graduation rates will increase.
An easier solution would be for professors to eliminate tests on Tuesdays during football season. Just push the tests back a couple of days to Thursday.
This is what transpires during a typical Monday night study session for fans of MNF.
(F.Y.I. For women reading this column, substitute the name "some hunky football player" for "Melissa Stark"):
8:04 p.m. — Turn on the television, pat yourself on the back because you're studying so hard you forgot what time it was and thus missed the beginning of *MNF*. You nestle in for a long night of studying.
8:06 p.m. — Commercial break. You use the time wisely and finish up chapter four in your book on Nietzsche.
8:08 p.m. — MNF comes back on; you put the book down. Sideline reporter Melissa Stark makes appearance.
8:17 p.m. — Opposing team scores touchdown. You vow that once the home team scores, you'll turn off the television and hit the books for good.
8:38 p.m. — Home team scores; television stays on.
8:46 p.m. — End of first quarter. You reason because you have watched one quarter, another quarter couldn't hurt.
9:33 p.m. — Halftime. You use the time to take a short 10-minute nap to rejuvenate your fried-out brain cells.
9:47 p.m. — Wake up late; third quarter has already started. Kick yourself for missing latest appearance of Melissa Stark.
10:01-10:10 p.m. — Both teams exchange field goals. Get confused when Dennis Miller compares it to how wedding vows were exchanged in Semitic Akkadian culture back in ancient times.
10:23 p.m. — Come back inside after taking out trash; kick yourself for missing latest appearance of Melissa Stark.
10:24 p.m. — Roll your eyes while sideline reporter Eric Dickerson tries to explain that a running back's chief responsibility is to run the ball.
11:03 p.m. — Two-minute warning.
Find your book on Nietzsche buried under bag of Cheetos and latest issue of Sports Illustrated.
11:11 p.m. -- End of game. Decide you're too beat from the game to study, so you go to bed. Proceed to get a D- on test the next day.
That's about the extent of the research. I would have had more, but I had to finish this column before MNF came on last night. But, obviously, there's enough information here to prove that there is a problem somewhere.
Eliminate tests on Tuesdays, and the problem will be solved.

Pharmacies pull dangerous drug
By Melissa Davis
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
After the Food and Drug Administration's recall last week of the drug phenyl-propanolamine — or PPA — local pharmacies are pulling the drug off their shelves.
The recall came after the FDA estimated that PPA, a drug found in many popular cold suppressants like Robitussin CF, Alka-Seltzer and numerous diet pills, was responsible for 200 to 500 strokes a year among 18 to 49-year-olds.
The advisory board for the FDA suggested that pharmacies pull the drugs containing PPA because new studies showed the drug was linked to hemorrhagic stroke, or bleeding in the brain, especially in women.
Laura Hibberts pharmacist at SuperTarget, 3201 Iowa St., said the store
pulled the drugs containing PPA yesterday after the FDA sent out a nationwide recall to the pharmacies, requiring that the drug be pulled from the shelves.
Hibberts said Dexatrim, Acutrim, Robitussin CF, Dimetap, Contact and some Alka-Seltzer products were all pulled, leaving large holes on the shelves with signs explaining why they were pulled.
Wal-Mart, 3300 Iowa St., was one of many pharmacies that pulled products containing PPA from its shelves last Tuesday because of the FDA recommendations, said Angel Furman, pharmacist at Wal-Mart.
"People come in looking for their usual decongestants and notice they are gone, but we explain to them why and offer an alternative," she said.
Furman said there was only one alternative to the PPA decongestants, pseudophedrine. The drug was banned by

the International Olympic Committee and cost Romanian gymnast Andreaa Raducan her all-around medal.
Pseudoephedrine is the active ingredient in Sudafe.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that the drug was banned because it was considered a performance-enhancing drug, not because it
was unsafe.
Amanda Stinger, Kansas City, Mo., senior, said she knew that products containing PPA were unsafe because her friends would "Robo-trip" on Robitussin cough syrup by drinking a whole bottle, causing hallucinations.
"I don't abuse Robitussin, but I would use the recommended dosage if I was sick," she said. "I'm not scared."
Rock recommended that students not take any drugs containing PPA, even if they took the recommended dosage. He said taking more than the recommended dose could increase the changes of damaging side effects.
"If the FDA says there is a risk of stroke with the suggested dose, then if an individual takes significantly more, that cannot be safe," Rock said.

Aerobatics pilot conquers sky
Engineering student overcomes tragedy excels in classroom
By Brooke Hesler Special to the Kansan
When Grant Wittenborn flies his plane upside down, turns loops and does rolls, he doesn't get nauseous. But the fear is there.
Wittenborn. Olathe senior and aerobatics pilot, watched his flight instructor die in a stunt plane crash. His instructor had put his plane into a tailspin — with the plane spinning its center of gravity going downwards. But he couldn't pull out of it, and his plane crashed into the ground.
Wittenborn was only 16 years old when he witnessed the accident.
But the tragedy hasn't kept Wittenborn from pursuing his love of flying. It's in his blood.
"It was the first time I've seen an accident happen," he said. "It stuck with me forever. I can still picture it. I can still see it in my mind."
Wittenborn's father, a Trans World Airlines pilot, was his first teacher. He took Wittenborn up in a plane when he was 12.
"Anything you can picture us doing, we can do it." Wittenborn said.
"That was it," he said. "I was hooked." Wittenborn and his father both compete in aerobatic flying competitions.
In August, they competed against each other in a competition. Wittenborn said he was surprised when he placed second, beating his father, who placed sixth.
"I pretty much rub it in whenever I can," Wittenborn said. "My dad has thousands of hours in the air. I only have about 300. I was surprised when I came in ahead."
Although flying has its moments of glory, that's not to say Wittenborn never gets anxious.
He knows people other than his instructor who have died in accidents. And he has had his own scary experiences.
Once, when he and friend Dan Missimer were trying to land a plane.
they both became disoriented. Missimer, Leawood sophomore, said weather conditions were bad. Rain and heavy fog had made for low visibility. The two relied on the plane's instruments to make the landing.
Missimer said he was glad Wittenborn was in the pilot's seat.
When it came time for college, Wittenborn decided he wanted to study either aviation or aerospace engineering. The decision was a tough one.
"He's a really smart guy." Missimer said. "He's got a cool head, and he's really laid back. I would want him in the pilot's seat over a lot of people."
"I decided not to study aviation because if I had a heart attack when I was 30 and I couldn't fly anymore, then
"He's got a cool head, and he's really laid back. I would want him in the pilot's seat over a lot of people." Dan Missimer
I'd be out of a job permanently," he said. Wittenborn said he liked his aerospace classes even though they were time-consuming.
"To know you're in one of the toughest majors here and you're succeeding — that's pretty gratifying," he said.
Last year was particularly challenging,
but one of Wittenborn's professors, Mark Ewing, said he did very well.
"Junior year, students usually take five very difficult classes," said Ewing, associate professor of aerospace engineering. "I see students in the computer lab at all hours of the night. Grant is a very good student though. If he's got time to be flying airplanes and keeping his grades up, he's done really good."
But although Wittenborn loves engineering, his real passion is flying. It's something he inherited from a person he calls his biggest mentor — his dad.
"He's my best teacher, but he's also the hardest on me," he said. "He always knows when to push harder and when to lay off. He's probably my biggest fan."

Costs clip temperature in campus buildings
By Jason Krali
Kansas staff writer
As Matt Lewis works on lithography in the Art and Design Building late at night, he often shivers from the cold.
"A warmer environment is more conducive towards creativity," the Lecompton sophomore said. "I think that the students who use buildings all night should have the same advantages as those who use them during the day."
But campus buildings won't be warming up any time soon. Provost David Shulenburger issued a memo to deans and department chairs Monday ordering that thermostats be set to 68 degrees during the day and 60 degrees at night and on weekends to curb rising natural gas costs for heating.
The memo states that the University stands to pay about $2.37 million for natural gas this year, an increase of almost $1 million from last year.
Gas prices have risen from $3.20 per thousand cubic feet to $5.29, beginning with November's bill, Shulenburger said. The increase reflects rising natural gas costs across the country.
Jim Long, assistant provest, said that thermostats would be set at 60 degrees overnight for art and architecture studios and other late-night facilities but that the thermostats would be turned up if students and faculty complained that the buildings were too cold.
"What we've asked people to do is to let us know of special situations where the temperature may be too low." Long said.
The memo also asks staff members not to use space heaters.
Long said he had received about 125 responses from faculty since a memo last month that warned that the University might have to cut back on natural gas. He said some had complained that their rooms were too cold, while others said the heat was set too high.
During winter break, from Dec. 22 to Jan. 9, thermostats will be set at 65 degrees from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. when the buildings are open. The temperature will be dropped to 55 degrees overnight, according to the memo.
Long said that the thermostats could be set higher during winter break if temperatures got too cold.
"We're just going to try that," he said.
Sarah Brown, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said she thought 68 degrees was warm enough for classrooms, labs and studios, but 60 degrees would be too cold.
"If it's really cold outside, I like to have it a little warmer," she said. "I like it between 65 and 70."

Cartoons draw pleasure for some students
By Meghan Bainum
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
After a day full of adult stuff such as class and work, many KU students want to kick back, relax and turn on the TV.
Ross said her cartoon of choice was the Powerpuff Girls — a show that features three crime-fighting kindergarten girls with superpowers such as the ability to speak with squirrels.
"It's fun to watch." Ross said. "It's fun to have something that's kind of stupid and fun to take my mind off of other stressful things."
But students such as Haley Ross, Dodge City junior, don't channel-surf to MTV, CNN or ESPN — they head straight for The Cartoon Network
"It's kind of what every little girl aspires to be: to save the world, right all wrongs, fly around and stuff like that." Ross said.
The crime-fighting tots have won more hearts than Ross'. Kent Johnson, executive team leader at Super Target, 3201 Iowa street, said Powerpuff
"We had a lot of guys buying Powerpuff Halloween costumes," Johnson said. "We do see some people come in that like to press the envelope and want to buy some pretty bizarre things, things you wouldn't wear if you were in college."
Girl merchandise was popular with college students, though they might have difficulty finding something in the right size.
Johnson also said trading cards based on popular cartoons such as Pokémon and Digimon were also fairly big sellers with college students.
Cartoons aren't just for kids anymore, Ross said.
"There's a nostalgia factor for watching Superfriends, but it's a terrible show," he said.
"A lot of college students watch Cartoon Network," she said. "Everybody likes cartoons." However, many students such as Chris Eckert, Toneka senior, aren't as focused on one show.
Eckert said he liked to watch rums of whatever was playing late at night on the Cartoon Network. He said cartoons he remembered from childhood still held a place in his heart, though they might be badly made by today's standards.
"They're not pretentious," he said. "It's a quick 5,15,30 minutes of entertainment on TV that you don't have to pay attention to. And it's more visually appealing than most live-action television."
Even if the cartoon is bad, Eckert said, it's still preferable to many shows with real people in them, such as Dawson's Creek or the X-Files.
"The animation is bad, the story is ridiculous. Batman Beyond is a much more entertaining, better cartoon."
The Powerpuff Girls were so appealing to Ross that she impulsively got a small tattoo of Buttercup, her favorite character, on her stomach. Ross said she realized that the cartoon's popularity was probably just a fad and that the crime-fighting kindergartners she loved so much wouldn't be gracing the airwaves forever.
A
But that's not curbing her affinity for animation.
"There's no reason I shouldn't be able to still do things like this now," Ross said. "I know lots of people who like cartoons."

Iraq attempts to ease U.N. sanctions, isolation
WORLD
UNITED NATIONS — With help from Russia, France and the Arab world, Iraq has ended a de facto air travel embargo. Now it's chipping away at 10-year-old U.N. economic sanctions and seeking more control of its oil riches. Baghdad's high-profile campaign to end its long diplomatic isolation appears to be gaining momentum. Long-closed borders with Jordan and Saudi Arabia are opening up to U.N. approved goods. Dozens of businessmen, officials, scientists, artists and athletes have traveled to Iraq for the first time since its 1990 invasion of Kuwait. Baghdad demanded — and is getting — payment for oil sales in euros instead U.S. dollars, the hated currency of an enemy state.
Peru's president's ally ousted from Congress
LIMA, Peru — Hours after an embattled President Alberto Fujimori left Peru on a diplomatic trip, lawmakers ousted his key ally from her post as Congress president Monday, opening the way for debate on whether to remove Fujimori as well. Fujimori's departure to two summits — one in Brunei and the other in Panama — came amid a growing corruption scandal swirling around his former spy chief and top aide, Vfadimi Montesinos. The scandal weakened Fujimori, forcing his announcement in September that he would step down next July after new elections in the spring. Lawmakers voted 64-51 to remove Martha Hildebrandt, one of Fujimori's staunchest allies, as president of Congress.
MP3.com settles with Universal
Associated Press
NEW YORK — The embattled online music service MP3.com settled its dispute with the last of five major record labels yesterday, agreeing to pay $53.4 million to Universal Music Group for access to its songs.

Universal is the world's largest record company, with such artists as Dr. Dre, Eminem and Shania Twain.
The settlement was announced as testimony began in the damages phase of a federal trial that already had determined MP3.com willfully violated Universal's copyrights.
to buy a stake in MP3.com. MP3.com chief executive Michael Robertson said.
Under the settlement,
Universal also will get the right
"Our shareholders should be excited about today's development," Robertson said. "It gets us out of the courtroom and into the business of delivering digital music."
The company earlier had reached settlements with the four other major companies — Warner Music Group, BMG, EMI and Sony Music Entertainment — and had arranged licensing deals with each of them.
Hadrian Katz, Universal's lawyer, declined to comment outside court.
MP3.com was sued by the
record labels for its My.MP3.com service, which allows computer users to listen to CDs over the Internet. Members must first prove they paid for the recording by briefly inserting the CD into a computer's CD-ROM drive.
U. S. District Judge Jed S. Rakoff ruled in September that MP3.com had intentionally violated the copyrights of the music companies. He awarded Universal $25,000 per CD — or up to $250 million by Universal's count.
The overall amount of the settlements has not been disclosed, but Robertson said it falls within the $170 million the company set aside for legal costs.

Senate has influence on academic issues
By Kursten Phelps writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
Editor's note: This is the third in a series of five stories examining Student Senate's impact on students.
Student Senate candidates annually campaign to implement online enrollment to ease the pain of enrolling for students. But students still deal with long lines, permits to enroll and dean stamps.
Senators also have said they wanted to give students who give a less-than-starlar performance in a class a second chance to salvage their grade point averages. But the old system of averaging the high and low grades of a retaken course is still in place.
Ben Walker, student body president, said although students couldn't yet see the results of Senate's efforts, it had made an impact on academic issues that affect students.
"I think sometimes people look at it wrong," Walker said. "They look at the final authority, and Student Senate honestly doesn't have much final authority. We do have significant influence as far as being a
voice to the administration, a voice to the state legislature and to the Board of Regents to act on behalf of students. There aren't very many things in the world that you don't have to get others to agree on before it happens."
Does Student SENATE make a difference
Plans to implement an online enrollment system have been in the works since 1997, when the University purchased PeopleSoft, a software program capable of handling online enrollment, said Richard Morrell, university registrar.
Problems with the software and budgetary concerns have caused delays in the debut of online enrollment. The system had been set to launch next fall, but that is not certain, Morrell said.
"It's probably the biggest information technology project the University has ever taken on," Morrell said. "When I know when the budget is settled, I'll know when the deadlines are."
Walker said Senate had played a role in the issue even though it didn't take any direct action.
"Clearly, it's an administrative issue," Walker said. "The student government is not going to program computers or do anything logistically. At the same time, it's a
STUDENT SENATE'S IMPACT Online Enrollment
What Student Senate did: Voiced student concern about delays in the implementation of an online enrollment system to the administration.
What does it mean for students: Senate has had little direct involvement in the implementation of the system.
Revised course retake policy
What Senate did: Passed a petition last year to change the current policy, which averages the grades earned for a class taken twice. The proposed policy would only figure the highest grade into a student's grade point average.
What's next: The proposal was not approved by the administration, but was sent back to the University Council for more revisions.
very important issue for students, and Senate has continually expressed that to the administration. There's a lot to be said about that kind of power — expressing an opinion even though we can't actually take action."
Morrell agreed.
"It's important to know that student leaders see this as a critical issue," Murrell said. "The fiscal resources involved in this are out of the realm of student government to help."
Revising the course retake policy is an issue that Senate has had a more direct impact on. Walker said.
"Senate was pretty much exclusively responsible for beginning the discussion," Walker said.
Now, the University averages the two grades received if a student retakes a course. Last year, Senate passed a petition to change the policy so that the highest grade earned would be figured into the student's GPA, instead of the average.
The proposal passed through University governance, but the administration was concerned that it would allow students who had committed academic misconduct to retake a class to earn a better grade and sent the proposal back to University Council for revision.
Walker said a final decision on the course retake policy probably would not be made until the end of the school year.
"It's disappointing that it didn't make it all the way through, but I'd rather take our time and get it right and work out all the kinks," Walker said. "A lot of students will benefit from it. It helps those students who have a bad semester. It lets them fix those mistakes and prevents one semester from ruining their college career."

Business school adds Internet emphasis
Jumping on the information superhighway is about to get easier for University of Kansas business students.
By Brandon Stinnett Special to the Kansan
Because of a new Internet business concentration offered by the School of Business, graduate students now will have the opportunity to take classes at KU's Lawrence and Edwards campuses that will be geared toward using and understanding new technology in the business world.
Doug Houston, director of the KU master of business administration program, said the school decided to add the concentration to help students keep up with the ever-changing business world.
"As the Internet exploded a few years ago, it changed the way you do business." Houston said. "Nothing stays the same anymore."
The school has been working to add technology-based courses to its curriculum during the past two years, and more Internetbusiness courses are in developmental stages.
Houston said the school planned to offer eight courses for graduate students who wanted the Internet business concentration. Not all courses will be available when the concentration is first offered this spring, though. Students will be required to complete 12 hours for the concentration.
"This is a work in progress, and it will probably remain a work in progress." Houston said. "The world is always changing."
The school is looking to outside companies to help develop courses for the concentration. Houston said the school wanted to develop a program with area businesses that allowed students to work with them to gain experience using technology in the business world.
"We hope to have much input from the
companies that are involved with (e-business)," Houston said. "Those people are the ones we will depend on to develop new curriculum."
Abbishek Saraff, a Madris, India graduate student, said he wished the school would have instituted an Internet business concentration a long time ago. Saraff graduates in December, so he won't be able to take advantage of the new concentration.
As Internet businesses continue to develop, Sarafa thinks it's important for students to learn how technology affects business.
"There are some courses I've taken that should have gone toward e-business," Saraff said. "I think it is a good idea. I think it should have been done much earlier."
"With the new economy, almost every business is developing an e-business strategy," Saraff said. "It's not just a separate industry. It's entering into every industry." — Edited by Amy Rondahl
City searches for solution to traffic flow
By Matt Merkel-Hess
Kansan staff writer
With the demise of the South Lawrence Trafficway, city and county commissioners are looking at other alternatives to improving traffic flow on 31st Street.
At last night's city commission meeting, commissioners approved a request for an engineering study that would evaluate intersection improvements, widening the road and possibly making an eastern extension from Haskell Avenue to Kansas Highway 10.

Improvements to 31st Street
Mike Wildgen, city manager, said traffic was increasing, and that something needed to be done.
"There's still major issues in terms of traffic volume and traffic intensity on the southern parts of town," he said. "We're looking at other ways to try and deal with that problem."
The City Commission is studying ways to improve traffic on 31st Street. One proposal would widen the road and create an extension from Haskell Avenue to Kansas Highway 10
David Geyer, chairman of the Indian Hills Neighborhood Association, said he was worried that a wider, more developed 31st Street would increase traffic and encourage commercial growth on Louisiana Street.
The city will receive bids and decide on an engineering firm in December.
"The biggest problem we have is if we expand it and make it bigger, it's going to turn into another 23rd Street," Geyer said.
The neighborhood association sent a letter to the city requesting a moratorium on development from 31st Street south to the Wakarusa River until a comprehensive plan was created.
Melissa Carr/KANSAN
The study will cover 31st Street from Iowa Street to K-10 and include:
Studies of intersections and projected traffic volumes.
Environmental impact of the improvement.
Impact on neighborhood traffic.
Preliminary estimate of construction cost.
What options are available to reduce traffic if 31st Street is not improved or extended.
City Commissioner Marty Kennedy said any expansion would not widen the right-of-way or infringe upon the wetlands between Louisiana Street and Haskell Avenue.
"It's a major east-west access road," he said. "It needs to be improved for safety factors for the community to travel on it." In other action:
The commission approved relocation of Fire & Medical Station No. 2 from 1941 Haskell St. to 21st and Harper streets. The project cost is $2 million and the new station is being built to adjust and increase the present fire and medical service, said Jim McSwain, fire chief. The last fire station was built in 1962. The relocation is the first in a three-phase plan, which includes the relocation of Station 4 from 2819 Stonebarn Terrace, to 21st Street and Wakaraura, and the construction of Station 5 at 21st and Iowa streets.
■ The commission approved city acquisition of 40 acres southeast of the city for future park land. The land costs $11,100 per acre for a total cost of $484,000 and is located at the northeast intersection of East 1700 and North 1300 roads, about one mile east of the Prairie Park Elementary School.

Editorial board: Selection process should be amended
Electoral College has outlived purpose
There is a place in our country for the Electoral College.
It's called the Smithsonian, where the relics of American history are stashed. The prospect of Bush being a president who lost the popular vote spells doom for the next four years of federal government.
Perhaps the Electoral College made things easier in a pre-telecommunication age. Our Founding Fathers didn't trust the mass electorate — old, white, land-owning men. So we have a system of presidential elections in the hands of a few.
Today, women, minorities and the poor can vote, and we value democracy much more than the Founding Fathers did in the late 18th century. Any president who loses the popular vote but wins the presidency will divide the government and the country.
Clinton didn't win a majority of the popular vote in 1992 or 1996 against two substantial candidates, and it generated resentment for his administration.
The good that can come of this
year's election is a move to change the Electoral College. If we don't eliminate it outright, we should substantially revise it.
The best solution may be to adopt a constitutional amendment that apportion votes such as in Maine and Nebraska. Those states are not winner-take-all; they split the electoral votes between candidates, according to congressional districts.
Electoral votes are determined by a state's number of senators and representatives in Congress, with each state having a number of electors roughly proportionate to its population. As a result, most states are effectively ignored by the candidates, as they are seen as irrelevant.
The Electoral College's "democratic deficit" is compounded by a winner-take-all policy, in which the candidate with the mo*
electoral votes wins, even if that number is smaller than a majority of the popular vote.
Under the revised system, a candidates can lose the state overall, but they can still pick up a significant number of electoral votes based on the congressional districts where they have a majority.
This system makes a single vote matter more and allows the electoral vote to mirror the popular vote. We don't want to abolish the system altogether,but we must improve it to avoid serious crises like the one we're in now.
The United States should abandon the antiquated, undemocratic institution that is the Electoral College. The voting system in the United States should reflect the egalitarian principles upon which the nation was founded.
Brett Watson for the editorial board
Dissenting: Electoral College fulfills practical purposes
Process helps maintain democratic government
Common sense tells us that the winner of the popular vote should be president; after all, we are a democracy and in a democracy "the will of the people" should prevail. Abolishing the Electoral College also may have some beneficial consequences, such as encouraging voter participation in states like Kansas where one party is dominant, the winner is pre-ordained, and voting seems inconsequential.
However, reaching an informed judgment about the Electoral College requires a deeper analysis than common sense and a broader consideration of the full range of consequences that can accompany institutional change. Here are some things that need to be considered.
Most broadly, the concept of "the will of the people" — which the Electoral College is said to violate — is dubious. We think that the highest votegetter represents the "will of the people," but
which candidate is the highest vote-getter often depends on the rules and proc-
FLORIDA
popular result of last week's election was: Gore 49 percent; Bush 48 percent; Buchanan 3 percent. If we used a "plurality voting rule," the winner would be Gore, because he had the most votes. But if we used a "majority-rule system," we would need a run-off election between Bush and Gore to see who would get a majority in a two-person race. If Buchanan supporters cast their votes for Bush in the run-off, Bush would win. In this contrived but plausible example, neither Gore nor Bush is the clear public choice, the unambiguous "will of the people."
It all depends on electoral rules. From this perspective, the Electoral College is just another way of adding up votes. And it seems no more likely to misrepresent "the will of the people" than majority-rule or plurality-rule systems.
Judgments about the Electoral College might then come down to its practical consequences. In this regard, the following might be said of the Electoral College:
- It helps preserve the role of the states in our federal system and in our lives as citizens. When our country was formed, it was agreed that the states (rather than individual citizens) would choose the president. The United States is a nation of states, not an aggregation of individuals.
It helps prevent the development of an imperial president. Winners of a direct popular vote for the presidency, unlike members of Congress, could more plausibly claim a national popular mandate for his or her agenda. This might tilt the balance of power between the legislative and executive branch toward the latter, even though democracies prefer legislative preeminence.
It reduces the influence of uninformed, self- interested voters — an aim sought and an argument made by the founding fathers.
■ It encourages candidates to understand the diversity of needs and interests that exist across the states, rather than focus on "the median voter" in the United States as a whole.
It helps legitimate electoral outcomes whenever very close popular votes are converted into more definitive winning margins in the Electoral College.
It plays a significant role in maintaining the most enduring and stable democracy the world has ever known.
Critics of the Electoral College must deal thoughtfully with the truth and importance of these and similar claims that will be made on both sides of the issue.

Confusion about slander plagues Free for All line
Surprise, surprise. The Free for All is a subject of contention yet again. Since there's been some confusion about our policy against slander in the opinion line, I feel like I need to explain what the policy means.
A reader, who hasn't left her name, called the Kansan several times to ask why we allow slanderous comments in the Free for All. A message printed in Friday's Free for All asked us exactly what our definition of
sinner is. Anointmous reader, I hope you're reading this.
The offending Free for All comment read something to the effect that if minority students want to be in classes with more people like themselves, they should attend a university with a larger minority population than we have at the University of Kansas. Although the comment offended this reader, and probably more who haven't said anything, you can't argue against the comment's
Erin R. Barcomb

To be slander, it would have to defame someone. In other words, to leave a slanderous comment, a caller would have to name someone in particular and say something untrue that would cause reasonable people to think less of that person, such as "The Kansan readers' rep performs Satanic rituals on chickens on the loading dock behind Stauffer-Flint Hall." Simply having an opinion about what university students should
merits on the basis of slander.
attend isn't slanderous, even if it's offensive.
Moreover, we don't know the speaker's intent. He or she could be a white supremacist with an agenda to eliminate minority students from the University. Or, he or she could have been offering a suggestion for people who feel excluded on our campus, where minority recruitment and retention remain concerns year after year.
If the Kansan were to screen all comments that could offend someone, somewhere, there probably wouldn't be much to read in the Free for All except some insipid debate about whether broccoli resembles trees. Determining what is and isn't offensive puts a lot of power controlling free speech in the hands of a few of us. To me, that's offensive.
The Free for All doesn't represent the opinions of us on staff. It's about the views of the other tens of thousands of students you sit next to in class, eat with at the union or ride with on the bus. Although the Kansan gives your classmates and roommates a platform to make offensive comments, the ideas are theirs, not ours.
Although we can seek retribution if someone lowers our reputation or communicates something about us that is untrue, the First Amendment doesn't protect us from being offended. If it did, the marketplace of ideas would turn into a communist-era breadline, where we're handed uniform, pre-approved ideas. Being offended isn't the end of the world. It's how we know the First Amendment works.
Media law and ethics can be confusing. The precise definitions of slander and libel aren't necessarily common knowledge. But offensiveness of the message isn't anywhere in their criteria.

Greek councils choose presidents
By J.D. McKee
Kansan staff writer
writer@kansan.com
Although the more famous national presidential election has resulted in mass confusion, the PanHellenic Council and Interfraternity Council elections went off without a hitch.
The PHC and IFC executive board members handed their positions to the next class of officers last night in a ceremony at the Jayhawk Room in the Kansas Union.
Laurel Brinkman, Geneva, Ill., Junior, and Chris Mandernach, Lee Summit, Mo., junior, took over as presidents of the PHC and IFC, respectively.
Executive officers are elected by a delegate for each sorority and a delegate and the chapter president for each fraternity.
Both were looking forward to new challenges for the greek community.
"One of the main things I'm looking forward to is increasing the interaction with non-greek students," Mandernach said.
He said he hoped to encourage non-greeks to take part in the various philanthropies and community service projects the greek community was involved in.
Mandernach also was aware of greek stereotypes.
"We can't eradicate stereotypes," he said. "Stereotypes are based on lack of knowledge about the greek community. We want to make the public more aware of what we stand for."
Brinkman said one of the challenges the PHC would face next year would be the change in the recruitment process, which used to occur before school started.
"Next year, recruitment will be the two weeks following Labor Day," Brinkman said.
She said the PHC also must decide if it wanted to accept a new sorority in the next three
The outgoing board members were emotional in relinquishing their roles, but confident in the incoming officers.
years.
"It was a lot harder for me to catch up." MacRoberts said. "There was a big learning curve to overcome."
Sam MacRoberts, outgoing IFC president and Leawood senior, became President in April — as opposed to the traditional inauguration in November — after former IFC president Chace Ramey resigned because of his involvement with a party where minors were served alcohol.
Juliette Ast, outgoing PHC president and Wichita senior, said she was most proud of the changes made in the recruitment process and the dance-a-thon philanthropy for Habitat for Humanity.
"The potential for that philanthropy is huge." she said.

Terminally ill don't want to be a burden
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — A majority of terminally ill patients say the options of euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide should be available to Americans although very few would consider such choices themselves, says one of a series of major new studies on how we die.
When it comes to improving end-of-life care, "euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide are largely irrelevant," concluded Ezekiel Emanuel of the National Institutes of Health, who led the first study to track terminally ill patients' opinions on the subject during a number of months.
In fact, dying Americans have priorities — such as spending final time with loved ones and preparing for death — far more important than euthanasia, say studies published in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
But "a collusion of silence," in which doctors and patients don't discuss impending death, means that too often people don't have time to prepare, said Timothy Quill of the University of Rochester.
Consider how one doctor struggled to tell a longtime lung-disease patient that he had only a few months left:
"Every day, I worried that he'd come in with pneumonia by ambulance in the middle of the night and I wouldn't hear until the morning that he'd been intubated," said the physician, identified as Dr. G. "...I knew this was not what he wanted, so I needed to get it settled."
It was weeks before doctor and patient finally got Mr. B's treatment wishes recorded.
got him B's treatment wishes recorded.
For children, it can be even longer: One study found parents realized, on average, 106 days before their child's death that cancer would claim him or her — while their doctors knew 100 days before that. It wasn't clear if parental denial or doctors' reluctance to break the news was to blame.
And many doctors don't realize other elements that dying patients list as most important to their last days, such as being mentally aware at the end, not being a burden on family and come to peace with God, another study found.
How to care for dying people, to ease their pain and try for the most peaceful death, is a growing concern. Nearly 80 percent of Americans die in hospitals or nursing homes, very often bedridden, incontinent and in pain. Yet very few write "advance directives" outlining if they want heroic lifesaving measures, and most "do not resuscitate" orders and moves to hospices are made just before death.
Such grim statistics fuel public debate over physician-assisted suicide. Polls suggest between 60 and 70 percent of Americans feel terminally ill people in pain should be able to end their lives, with a doctor's help if needed. Oregon is the only state where physician-assisted suicide is legal; 43 people have used the law to die since it passed in 1997.
To see how the terminally ill really feel about suicide, Emanuel tracked 988 dying cancer
patients for six months. Sixty percent said euthanasia or physician-assisted suicide should be an available option.
But initially, only 10.6 percent admitted considering it for themselves. Two to six months later, half of those people had abandoned the idea. Another 29 people who hadn't initially considered ending their lives had started considering it.
Only 1.6 percent of patients discussed the option with doctors, and 2.5 percent hoarded painkillers in case they decided to try suicide.
Of the 256 deaths during Emanuel's study, one patient died from physician-assisted suicide. Another tried to kill himself but failed. A third repeatedly asked her family and doctor for help in dying, but they refused and she ultimately died at home.
The surprise, Emanuel said: Pain wasn't the biggest influence on who considered suicide — depression and feeling burdensome to family were the biggest factors.
Anyone nearing death is sad, but full-scale depression needs treatment to improve the quality of remaining life. Emanuel stressed.
Better communication — among doctors, patients and caregivers — also is crucial, he added, citing a patient who considered suicide because she felt she was too much of a burden on her husband. "He was just heartbroken" when Emanuel revealed his wife's fear. "What could be more important for him than caring for his wife of 50 years?"

Shooting for thrills
Intramural basketball to begin season with holiday tournament
By Aaron Johnson
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
As the fall intramural season comes to an end, many participants are looking forward to intramural basketball.
For many that enjoyment comes courtesy of the intramural pre-holiday basketball tournament.
Intramural sports director Jason Krone said basketball was the most popular sport on the schedule, and this year's tournament does not look to disappoint.
Rachel Moluf, Attica sophomore and intramural participant in volleyball, basketball and softball, said she was not surprised basketball was the most popular sporting event at Kansas because of the school's strong basketball tradition.
"Basketball is the highlight of the intramural season," said Moluf, who is also sports chair for Miller Scholarship Hall. "We have had a really big increase in participation for basketball."
Some players have been shooting for the
championship since their freshman year.
"After playing three years of intramail basketball, this year looks to be promising come tournament time," said Brent Kaltz, Plymouth, Minn., senior.
Kaitz said that KU intramural basketball teams were traditionally talented. Because of the tough competition, he said he would be proud if his team placed.
Moluf expects her team to perform well. "A little recruiting has put our team in good shape," she said.
The pre-holiday tournament is considered a warm-up for the regular season in the spring semester and a way for recreation services to prepare their officials for the regular season.
The tournament's setup goes as follows: men's, women's and co-rec teams will compete in separate single-elimination tournaments.
Participating teams should be prepared to play Monday through Friday from 5 p.m. to midnight and Saturday and Sunday from 1 p.m. to 11 p.m.
For those who haven't put together a team, the chance is still available. Sign-ups for the pre-holiday tournament will end today.
Those interested in playing or officiating can stop by the rec services office at 208 Robinson or call 864-3546.
Arizona's Johnson wins third Cy Young
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Arizona's Randy Johnson was the winner of the National League Cy Young Award yesterday, his second straight award and third of his career.
Johnson, who also won the 1995 award with Seattle, received 22 of 32 first-place votes in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. Johnson, 37, also got seven seconds and two thirds for 133 points.
"There was a lot of competition this year," Johnson said. "Every year as I get older, it is harder to put the numbers up."
Johnson joined Maddux and Sandy Koufax as the only back-to-back winners in the National League. Maddux won four straight from 1992-95 and Koufax won in 1965-66. Johnson also
became the eighth pitcher to win three Cy Youngs in his career. Boston's Pedro Martinez won his third Monday.
Roger Clemens has five, followed by Steve Carlton and Maddux with four each. Koufax, Tom Seaver and Jim Palmer also have three.
After going 14-2 with a 1.80 ERA' before the All-Star break, Johnson faltered down the stretch. He won only five times in his final 16 starks, going 5-5 with a 3.81 ERA.
"I wish I had finished stronger, but I still feel that from start to finish it was a pretty good year," Johnson said. "I was extremely blessed in the first half and things didn't go as well in the second half."
Johnson got a $500,000 bonus for winning on top of his $12.35 million salary.

Runner will compete in NCAAs
The future is looking bright for the Kansas cross country teams.
By Ryan Malashock
By Ryan Malshack
sports@Kansas.com
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas concluded its season Saturday at the District V Regionals in Cedar Falls, Iowa, where junior Charlie Gruber qualified for the NCAA Championships individually and will compete Monday in Ames, Iowa.
For the rest of the cross country teams, Saturday's finale served as a starting point for next year. The Jayhawk men and women return every scoring runner next season and should move up in the Big 12 Conference ranks, said assistant coach Doug Clark.
"We had no seniors in our top seven this year and feel really good about that for next season," Clark said. "Both teams improved and we're right on the brink of respectability."
Freshman Paige Higgins, the top Jayhawk finisher at the District V Regionals, said the lack of senior leadership had hurt Kansas this year but would pay off in the long run.
"Having no seniors was hard this year, that makes next year excited." Higgins said. "That made us step up more this year, and the juniors really stepped into that role this year."
Higgins and fellow freshmen Lauren Brownrigg and Laura Lavoie established themselves as a strong class for the future. Lavoe led Kansas in every meet except for the District V Regionals. Sophomore Bridget Morissey and juniors Katy Eisenmenger and Eve Lamborn were other consistent runners for the Jayhawk women this year.
"Giving us another year to improve and train will only make us better."
"We need more consistency and that comes with experience," Clark said. "We never had five people run good on the same day. 80 percent of coaches around the country would probably also say that, but the other 20 percent are the teams that are at nationals."
Brent Behrens junior cross country runner
Although the Kansas women still will be relatively young next season, a veteran men's team will be primed for a run at the NCAA Championships. This year's junior class of Gruber, Brent Behrens, Pete Prince, Mark Menefee and Brent Blachy will give the Kansas men the strong senior leadership needed to succeed.
"Giving us another year to improve and train will only make us better," Behrens said. "There is really not any one thing for us to work on in the offseason other than just to keep training hard."
Clark said next year could be the Jayhawk men's chance to break onto the national scene.
"Next season could be great for the men," Clark said. "With their experience they should make a run at the NCAA Championships."
Kansas junior Derec Lacio runs for the finish line at the Bob Timmons Invitational in Lawrence earlier this year. The men's and women's cross country teams will return every scoring runner next season and hope that, by doing so, they can move up in the ranks. Kansas file photo

Juco star leads Kansas golfers
By Michael Sudholter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's golf team has found a new leader.
Travis Hurst, Erie junior and a former junior college All-American, has exceeded the expectations of everyone, including Kansas coach Ross Randall.
"Iknew he'd be a good player, but no one thought he'd be this good this soon." Randall said.
Hurst, a heavily recruited golfer, won the Class 3A state championship at Erie High School as a junior and was named the Jayhawk Conference Player of the Year at Butler County Community College last year.
"I had a lot of offers from different schools, but once Coach Randall start
ed talking to me, I knew Kansas was where I wanted to so." Hurst said.
Hurst won his first Division I tournament, the Purina Classic at Missouri Bluffs Golf Course in St. Charles, Mo., on October 9-10. He finished the tournament registering a score of 206 and a 68.6 average.
Hurst continued his ride at the season finale in Palo Alto, Calif.
Hurst, who finished the season with a 71.5 average, placed in the top 10 in all four tournaments. In the final tournament of the season, Hurst finished third while leading the Jayhawks to a fourth-place tie at the Stanford-Nelson Invitational at Palo Alto.
Hurst said he aspires to clinch more tournament victories.
"We want to be Big 12 Champions and hopefully compete for the national championship," he said.
Randall said Hurst's leadership was crucial to the team's success in the spring season.
"Travis has made himself visible on the national scene," said Randall. "He has helped the team because his scores have been so good in
KNU
ROTE
all of the tournaments."
In Kansas, Hurst said he enjoyed Wolf Creek in Oathe and Terradyne, Butter County's home course.
"Inveness, in Toledo, Ohio, is my favorite course," said Hurst. "Every part of that course is beautiful, and there is a lot of tradition there."
Hurst, a former All-State basketball
player at Erie High School, said he enjoyed team sports but welcomed the challenge of an individual sport.
"The biggest challenge of an individual sport is yourself," said Hurst. "You have nobody to blame but yourself."
Hurst said he hopes to play on the PGA tour after graduating from Kansas. He hopes to use his talent to return the golf team to the NCAA championships, which it won two years ago.
He said the team could reach its goals this season.
"Any one of our top players can win a tourney on any weekend," said Hurst. "When we all click, I don't think anybody can stop you."
The Jayhawks will have the chance to prove themselves this spring when they compete at the Rice Invitational in Houston on February 12-13.

Big 12 teams struggle in exhibitions
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Bv Chris Wristen
The equation seems so easy;
exhibition game equals easy win.
Apparently some of the teams in the Big 12 Conference don't come equipped with math majors because their equations haven't added up. Four conference teams lost exhibition games during the weekend and are off to shaky starts, while a few of the others squeaked out wins. Kansas, Missouri, Baylor and Colorado all won in impressive fashion in their exhibitions.
Two of those teams that lost Kansas State and Nebraska, were ranked in the bottom four in the conference by the coaches, but Oklahoma and Oklahoma State were both top six conference selections, thus causing some early concern about the Big 12's status as a powerful basketball conference.
No. 4 Kansas (2-0) got its regular
season under way last week by capturing the Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic title in New York, defeating now No. 14 UCLA and new No. 24 St. John's.
BIG 12 NORTH
Kansas was led by tournament MVP senior forward Kenny Gregory's 41 points in the two games. Sophomore forward Drew Gooden also earned all-tournament team status.
Missouri is still in its exhibition season but played like a well-seasoned veteran squad in routing Team Fokus 110-79 on Sunday. Sophomore forward Kareem Rush led the Tigers with 23 points and 13 rebounds.
Coach Quin Snyder said that he was disappointed with his team but that it finally was playing to its potential.
"We've been practicing for a month, and I have not felt good the other times we've put on a uniform," Snyder said.
Colorado was also on the winning circuit. The Buffaloes sent the Basketball Travelers packing 99-75 and then defeated the EA
Sports All-Stars 93-86 last weekend.
- Iowa State defeated Global Sports 85-72 in an exhibition victory. Sophomore guard Brandon Hawkins made his first career start and led the Cyclones with 12 points and six assists.
The new coaches in the north division both started their careers in a fashion both schools are accustomed to — losing.
Jim Woolridge's Kansas State Wildcats lost to Global Sports 78-73 in overtime. Nebraska coach Barry Collier found a similar result against the same team, losing 76-62. The Cornhuskers trailed 39-24 at halftime and never recovered.
BIG 12 SOUTH
Junior forward Chris Owens led the Longhorns with 28 points and eight rebounds, and junior guard
Texas opened its regular season at the Preseason NIT tournament by beating Navy 79-65.
and preseason conference newcomer of the year Maurice Evans scored 13 points in his Texas debut.
Texas A&M squeaked past Australia's Team Ezybonds 79-77 last week, and Baylor beat the same team 93-63. Texas A&M sophomore guard Bernard King drained a jump shot from the free throw line with 2.6 seconds remaining, capping the victory.
Coach Melvin Watkins said he wasn't satisfied with his team's performance.
"Lately, practice has not been as good but that has been partly due to all of the injuries," Watkins said. "There were some good things out there."
Both Oklahoma and Oklahoma State struggled out of the gates and lost. The Sooners were defeated by Global Sports 80-78, marking their first exhibition loss since a 102-74 loss to the Soviet Union in 1986.
Oklahoma State was downed 96-95 by Athletes First after a furious rally fell short. It was the Cowboys' first exhibition loss since 1988.

VOLLEYBALL
Volleyball team signs two award winners
The Kansas volleyball team acquired two fresh faces for the 2001 season Monday, when Danielle McHenry and Ashley Michaels signed national letters of intent to become Javihawks.
Michaels is a 6-foot-1 middle blocker from Wathena. She was named 2A Player of the Year, leading Wathena High School to a third-place finish in state competition this year.
"Ashley will have an immediate impact on our blocking and attacking schemes," Kansas coach Ray Bechard said. "We are very excited about the level of physicalness that she will bring to the net. She has a great up-side and we are looking forward to working with her during her career at Kansas."
McHenny is a 60 outside hitter from Topeka, named Kansas Player of the Year in all classes. McHenny has led the Shawnee Heights Towards to two straight 5A state championships.
"Danielle has the complete volleyball package," Bechard said. "She was arguably the top prospect in the state this year and we are extremely excited to have her join our squad. We believe she will have a tremendous career at Kansas and will have an immediate impact on our program."

RUGBY
Jayhawk rugby rules Arkansas tournament
The Kansas men's and women's rugby teams both returned to Lawrence as champions of the Ozark Rugby Tournament in Little Rock, Ark.
The men's team defeated Arkansas 31-5 in the second round after winning the first game by forfeit against Fort Scott Community College. In the championship round, the Jayhawks came from behind and defeated Arkansas
State 19-12.
"The Arkansas State game was a tough one," said Brent Zickty, Wichita junior and club president. "We won it with a couple of minutes to play."
Michael Sudholter
The women's team defeated Vanderbilt 28-7, pummeled Arkansas 50-O and edged Truman State 21-12 on their way to the tournament championship.
GOLF
Kansas women's golf signs Lawrence native
The Kansas women's golf team announced the signing of a prospect with local flavor.
Lauren Phlegar, a senior at Free State High School in Lawrence, has signed a national letter of intent to play golf for the Jayhawks next fall. Phlegar, a fouryear letter winner at Free State, was the 5-6A State runner-up this year and also finished second at Regionals.
In her time at Free State, Phlegar competed at the state level and compiled three top-10 finishes in Kansas high school tournaments.
Phlegar also has national experience under her belt. She competed in the 2000 American Junior Golf Association tournament at Hot Springs, Va., and the 1999 and 2000 National High School Coaches Association invitations. Phlegar also placed third at the 2000 Kansas Women's Golf Association Junior State Tournament and the 2000 PGA Junior Regional.
"Lauren will be a great asset to our program," said Kansas women's coach Nicole Hollingsworth. "She has the ability and the potential to do great things at Kansas. She is the type of player that will help us both in the classroom and on the golf course. We are looking forward to her joining the team next fall."

BASKETBALL
Michigan State ends Globetrotters' streak
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Charlie Bell scored 21 points, helping defending national champion Michigan State hold off a late rally for a 72-68 exhibition victory against the Harlem Globetrotters on Monday night, ending their 1,270-game winning streak.
The defeat was the first for the famed traveling team since they lost to the Kareem Abdul-Jabbar All-Stars in Vienna, Austria, on Sept. 12, 1995.
The Globetrotters, who led 35-29 at halftime, scored the first basket of the second half, taking their biggest lead of the game.
Jason Richardson sparked an 8-0 run by Michigan State, including a spectacular dunk off a missed shot with 13:10 remaining, giving the Spartans a 43-39 lead.
Michigan State was leading 51-49 when another dunk off a Richardson rebound triggered a 13-2 run that gave them a 64-51 lead with 3:55 left.
The Globetrotters used the three-point shooting of Tyson Wheeler and some pressure defense to slice away at the Spartans' lead.
Alex Sanders' four-point play with 47 seconds left brought the Globetrotters within four points. Donnie Boyce stole the ball and fed Wayne Turner for a layup with 39 seconds left to cut the lead to 68-66.
Bell then scored on a layup with 10.8 seconds remaining. After a basket by Wheeler, Bell secured Michigan State's victory with two free throws with 3.7 seconds left.

Williams upbeat about recruits
Future looks bright as Jayhawks receive four letters of intent
By Michael Rigg
spons @kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Instead of talking about his team's recent past in New York, Kansas coach Roy Williams took time yesterday to talk about the future.
The letters of intent of his four recruits became official earlier this week, and yesterday was Williams' first chance to talk about his newest Javahaws.
The Kansas basketball class of 2005 will feature Aaron Miles, a 6-foot point guard from Portland, Ore.; Michael Lee, a 6-3 guard who was Miles' high school teammate; Keith Langford, a 6-4 guard forward from Crowley, Texas; and 6-9 forward Wayne Simien of Leavenworth.
All four players sent Williams their letters of intent and will become scholarship players at Kansas starting next season. Overall, Williams was pleased with his recruiting finds.
"All four have already qualified (academically), all four have good families and are good kids," Williams said. "They'll represent the University in the right way, and they happen to be pretty doggie good basketball players, too."
The Jayhawks' class is ranked as one of the top classes in the nation, even though Williams believes it has some deficiencies. Williams' efforts to sign a true small forward failed, meaning Langford will have to move from the shooting guard position he plays to small forward.
"We were not able to get the prototype, picture-perfect, small forward." Williams said. "So we said we could find somebody that has the small forward size but may not be as good of a basketball player as Keith is. So let's get a better basketball player and not worry about size, and we'll play a huge amount of time next year playing three guards."
Still, Williams and the Jayhawks are very content with the signing of Simien, the consensus top player in the state.
Williams also didn't land a center — something he said at the end of the summer he would like to do — and either will wait until spring or even next season to work on plugging the gap that senior center Eric Chenowith will leave when he graduates.
Simien's commitment was no big surprise, considering he has attended Kansas basketball camp annually, and Williams started recruiting him when Simien was in seventh grade.
"We haven't had very many kids around here that you could start recruiting in the sixth or seventh grade," Williams said. "His parents still have pictures of him coming to my basketball camp, and I was his yard-stick, since he kept getting taller, and I

staved the same size."
Simien's proximity to Lawrence means he has been able to play against the Jayhawks in pickup games, and his future teammates have been impressed.
"He'll be good," said sophomore forward Nick Collison. "He's really strong, and he knows how to play. He has a big body, he can defend, and he'll be up our front line."
Because Hawkins didn't sign a letter of intent, Williams isn't allowed to talk about his potential diamond-in-the-rough. But when a reporter asked Williams about Hawkins yesterday, Williams didn't exactly dodge the question.
Simien isn't the Jayhawks' only in-state recruit, but he will be the only one on scholarship next season. Jeff Hawkins, a 5-11 guard from KC-Sumner, will walk-on and a redshirt next season before accepting a scholarship the following year.
"I don't think we are (allowed to talk about him), but I know who you're talking about." Williams said. "And let's just say that if I happened to think you know who you're talking about, if we were happened to be
thinking about the same kid, then I would be very pleased."
No Crider news
Kansas Basketball Notes
Williams was more evasive when asked about the potential transfer of junior guard John Crider. Despite rumors that Crider's transfer to Washburn was a done deal, Williams refused to talk about Crider's possible departure and insisted he wasn't hiding any news surrounding Crider.
"I said the other night when an announcement or a decision to be made is made, we'll make that," Williams said. "We've never hid anything from anybody, and that hasn't started yet, either."
Axtell still ailing
Senior forward Luke Axtell, who sprained his ankle and is listed as doubtful until the end of the month, shot free throws yesterday and told Williams his ankle was improving.
"He said it was being a lot better." Williams said. "I think he is very concerned about it because it was quite painful for him, but I don't think Luke is going to rush it."
Volleyball team looks to end Texas' streak
Bv Sarah Warren
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas volleyball team is hoping number 13 isn't so lucky for the Texas Longhorns.
The Longhorns have won every one of the 12 matches the two teams have played, and tonight the Jayhawks (14-12, 5-12 Big 12 Conference) aim to grab their first victory in the series. The Jayhawks almost broke the Longhorns' streak Oct. 7 when they extended the match into five games before falling to Texas 7-15, 15-13, 16-14, 15-17, 11-15.
This time around, the Jayhawks head to Gregory Gymnasium in Austin, Texas. Kansas hasn't taken a game away from the Longhorns on their home court since 1996, but after their close home match earlier in the season, the Jayhawks think they can be competitive regardless of the location.
"I would hope that we'd get a little better," said coach Ray Bechard. "The seniors are trying to finish this on a positive note."
Kansas has lost its last two matches — shutouts at the hands of Texas Tech and Kansas State. Therefore, a first everwin against Texas would be a major confidence boost.
"It's hard after a loss," said Danielle Geronymo, senior middle blocker. "You give all of yourself in a loss, but we're

positive we can win."
However, the Longhorns (8-15, 6-10 Big 12) also are looking for an instant egg boost, as they have dropped their last three conference matches.
"Obviously, we've got to make some changes," Bechard said. "The University of Texas team is playing much better than the last time we saw them."
Last time the 'Hawks saw burnt orange across the net, they found themselves foundering in the wake of seven Texas service aces.
During that match, senior outside hitter Amy Myatt scored a match-high 34 kills in front of a packed house at the Horejsi Family Athletics Center. In addition to Myatt's heavy swings, Geronomyo had 21 kills and senior outside hitter Nancy Bell put in 16 kills. And, Kansas led in hitting percentage, 245 to 229, and blocking, 23 to 16.
This time, the Hawks not only want to beat the Longhorns in individual categories, they want the victory, too.
"We've got three matches left and we've just got to finish," Bell said.

Jayhawk wows crowd with play
In Kansas' deep pool, speed makes receiver first choice for reverse
A dramatic moment came early in the Kansas-Texas football game Saturday when Kansas receiver Derick Mills, a redshirt freshman, took the ball on a reverse on the Jayhawks' third play from scrimmage, turned the corner untouched and took off down the sideline 29 yards for a touchdown that gave the Jayhawks a 7-0 lead.
By Allan Davis
Mills received appreciative cheering from the crowd, mixed with "oohs" and "ahhs" directed at Mills' ability to outrun the Texas defenders.
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Mills said he knew before the game he would be called upon to carry the ball on a reverse.
"It was designed for the game," he said. "I knew I was going to get it."
"I got it on the reverse, I hit that corner, and it was all over then," he said.
Mills, who is from Dallas, Texas, said the play was simple.
"It was one of those plays you can get away with about once," he said. "You literally, on that play, do not block the person that's right at the point of attack. You don't want to do that too many times. It's kind of like the old sucker play, if you will."
Kansas coach Terry Allen said the reverse was a play one couldn't always use successfully.
"Derick is quick as anybody, and he showed that down the sideline," he said. "He's the perfect guy for that. He's so extremely quick, and he tightroped the sideline so well."
Allen said Mills, who ran a 4.4-40-yard dash. was a good choice to run a reverse.
Mills said his speed was the reason he was selected to run reverses.
"I pretty much run all the reverses, I guess because of my foot speed," he said. "They know I can get around the corner, so they put me in on all the reverses."
wide receiver.
Mills, 5-foot-8 and 170 pounds, was a running back when he came to Kansas but switched to wide receiver shortly after the start of preseason drills. He spent his redshirt year learning to play
But the Jayhawks' depth at that position has Jubited Mills' nev this year.
"We've stayed relatively healthy there," Allen said. "And with the emergence of J.T. (Thompson) and Harrison (Hill) coming back from his deal, that is our deepest spot."
Allen said wide receiver was the Javhawks' deepest position.
Thompson is a true freshman who has seen action in six of the 10 games this season. Hill, a junior starter, missed the opening game of the season because of dehydration problems.
At least 10 receivers, counting Mills, Hill and Thompson, have contributed this year. Seniors Eric Patterson and Algen Williams; juniors Termaine Fulton and Roger Ross; and sophomores Byron Gasaway, Marcellus Jones and Barry Goodrich have made wide receiver the deepest and possibly most competitive position on the team.
Mills, who also returns kickoffs, said there wasn't a specific rotation among the receivers. The coaches, he said, just put the receivers in according to what the play was.

'Hawks doing more passing than failing in basketball
This week we're bringing random thoughts about Kansas basketball. Feel free to e-mail yours to the sports desk and we'll compare notes.
Graduating seniors! We only have 16 actual days of classes left. I'm green lighting everyone to attend only 25 percent of their remaining classes. The professors understand. I hope.
Want my No. 1 reason why Kansas is a Final Four team this year? The emergence of Kirk Hinrich. The guy's learning curve is just crazy right now.
If for once we could have a premier point guard when going into the tournament, we're be in business. By premier, I'm talking about fast, creative with the ball, the ability to score and the ability to lock an opponent up.
I'm really excited for Luke Axtell to actually play in a real game. He looked great in the preseason, but this ankle injury has kept him down for a while. It's too bad, because he missed out on some good competition to match up with.
I'm starting to think of Axtell as the Jayhawk's version of Geraldo Rivera opening Al Capone's secret vault. All these great commercials, but when they finally open the vault, no guns, no gold, no dead bodies. Just an empty room.
All last season and this preseason was the commercial. I hope when we finally see the real Luke Axtell show after more than a year of waiting, there's something there.
- The Mario Kinsey to Drew Gooden alley oop out-of-bounds play was beautiful. Now I'm not so sure if I want to risk suiting Kinsey up in a football jersey. After all, I remember the Wildcat-and-chese sandwich that was Zac Wegner.
■ The next person who says something about Jeff Boschee's hair is getting a Jonesey karate chop to the throat. Who cares? The guy could look like Michael J. Fox in Teen Wolf for all I care, and that still wouldn't be newsworthy. Very cool, but not newsworthy.
If you take the ball strong to the basket every time, you'll either get fouled or you'll dunk on someone. Or maybe you'll miss a shot, but who cares? Everyone misses shots. But the off-season polishing has shown already. You're such a solid free throw shooter, so I say take your time with the ball and take it strong every time. I've got no problems with you scoring by one's rather than vicious-dunk two's.
Early-season Eric Chenow with review: (You listening, Eric?) Job well done, so far. Ignore those cheap fouls you picked up in New York. The refs are just trying to make a point early in the season.
I never said I thought you should lead this team in scoring. Lead it in rebounding and blocked shots, and I'll be happy. What, is that too much to ask?
John Crider transferring to Washburn? Good luck to ya, kid. Sorry things didn't work out. Represent the Jayhawks well while you're there. Oh... and can I have your seat on the bench? Is it still available?
Kenny Gregory, that three-point shot attempt was insane at the end of the UCLA game. You've been around the block; show some awareness. Otherwise, all the fans and myself appreciate the aerial assault you've been providing.
Just elevate and decide in the air.
I had so much fun watching the Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic that I forgot to set my VCR to record V.I.P. this week. To make me forget about Pamela Anderson takes some quality hoops, fellas. Keep it up.

Abstinence an uncommon student choice
By Adam Procht
Kansan correspondent
Alec Miller, Amanda Smith, Adriane Mercer and Marc Ricketts all have one characteristic in common - a commitment that forms an integral part of their lives. It's a commitment that few college students make these days.
These KU students are waiting until marriage to have sex.
The decision is not a common one. According to a U.S. News poll, less than half of those under 45 years old thought
that is was a good idea to remain a virgin until marriage, and a majority felt that having a few sexual partners made it easier to pick a compatible partner for marriage.
However, these four do not share the popular opinion. They said they had felt strongly about this issue for a long time.
"I had always grown up in a Christian
home, and it was never up for question for me," she said. "As far as influence goes, it would be because of God and that he asks us not to."
Miller came to the decision later in life. "I didn't always have that thought of waiting until marriage, but after a while I started to see some of the benefits of it."
Miller came to the decision later in life.
Mercer, Topeka senior, had a similar experience.
"I had never been much of a rule breaker, so when (my parents) said, 'You will not have sex before marriage,' my first response was, "OK," Mercer said. "I never
put myself in a place where I would ever commit a sin like that but I didn't really know in my mind that I'd made the decision until later. It was then when I finally built a strong relationship with God that I realized this is a decision I have made, a commitment. One I'm going to stand by."
Ricketts, Osawatomie freshman, also made the decision early but had his beliefs reinforced through personal experience.

Experience with rape changes student's life

Frightened and ashamed, Amber told her cousin and friends she didn't want anyone to know what happened.
As Amber Kasiska's cousin helped her into the car, her cousin looked at her and said, "You have two choices, Amber, either we can take care of this our own way or we can go to the cops and take you to the hospital."
On Nov. 22,1997,at the age of 16 Amber, then a sophomore in high school, was raped.
Alcohol, lies and naive trust turned a night of carefree innocence into a lesson she'll never forget.
The evening started with Amber, a
Galva sophomore, and her friends drinking after work. She told her mother she would be spending the night at a friend's house, but she had other plans.
They had decided to meet up with her friend's boyfriend and his buddies at nearby McPherson College. Hanging out in the dorm room, Amber and her friends got acquainted with the men they had just met. With alcohol in 'her system and her sense of judgment blurred, Amber and one of the men she had just met started kissing.
The other two men left the room and kissing turned into force when the man started removing Amber's clothes. He then got on top of Amber and raped her. Once the terror had ended, her attacker wrote down his phone number on a

piece of paper. Telling her to give him a call sometime, he slipped it into her pocket.
"When he got up, I was so confused I couldn't even put my clothes on right," Amber said. "I put my pants on inside-out a couple of times and he laughed about it." Afterward, he used a phone in the room to make a call while she got
dressed, and when finished with his phone conversation left the room.
Hearing voices outside the door, she knew her struggle had just begun and her assault would continue. The other two men entered the room. Next, she heard the sound of a sliding drawer and a condom wrapper being unwrapped just feet away from her. Looking for a way out, Amber peered out of the window to an outside that seemed bleak, as if there was no escape.
"I still can't get the picture out of my head to this day." Amber said. "I remember looking out of the dorm room window and feeling like a prisoner."

Opinions vary about strip clubs
By Brooke Helser
Special to the Kansan
The lights go down. Then the women come out.
It's just another night at a strip club. While some feel strip clubs are degrading, others feel it's just a form of harmless entertainment.
Tim Marshall, Kansas City, Kan. sophomore, first went to a strip club with his friends to celebrate his high school graduation. He said it was just a way to have fun.
"It's a form of entertainment, just like going to the movies or going to a play," Marshall said.
He said he didn't think stripping was degrading.In fact,he said he saw a large number of women in the audience
"If you would ask the girls, most of them would tell you it's not demeaning," Marshall said. "It's a way for a lot of them to put themselves through school."
Jackie Long, manager of Bada Bing,
913 N. 2nd St., said she estimated about
a third of the club's dancers were students.
Long doesn't see anything wrong with stripping either. She said the club was a way for people to get away from the everyday hassles of life.
"It's every man's fantasy to be with a beautiful, intelligent woman," Long said. "That's why they come here."
But not everyone agrees with Long. One former stripper, a junior at the University of Kansas who did not wish to be identified, said she found the experience awful. She worked at a Kansas City Mo., strip club for one month.
"You make a lot of money, but you don't leave there with a whole lot of self-respect." she said.
Megan Crockett, St. Joseph, Mo., sophomore, has similar sentiments. She waited tables at Bada Bing, but after one night on the job, she quit. Although Long estimated 40 percent of the customers were KU students, Crockett said she didn't think so.
"I thought it would be a lot of college guys in groups," Crockett said. "Instead, it was older men and truck drivers. They were there alone, too. It grossed me out. I looked at them as being pervers."
Crockett said one man in particular frightened her. He stayed close to the bar, where she was working, all night.
"It wasn't worth it," Crockett said. "I didn't want to worry if someone was following me home."
Crockett said her manager wasn't surprised when she quit. She said he told her that with an innocent face such as hers, he didn't expect her to stick around long.
Although Crockett said she would never consider stripping, she said she understood the allure. She said several of the strippers told her how much money she could make if she became a stripper.
"The girl who interviewed me pulled out a wad of money and said, 'Here, look at this. You should strip,'" Crockett said. It isn't a wonder how strippers make so much money. Both Bada Bing and The Outhouse, 1837 N. 1500 Rd., have a cover charge of $10, and they are both 18-and-older clubs. The Flamingo Club, 501 N. 9th St., charges $3 and is a 21-and-above club.

Hall relationships create challenges
By Amanda Wolfe
Kansan correspondent
Wanted: a companion for some lovin'.
Many people come to college looking for one thing — action. Residence halls provide plenty of opportunities for students to hook up. Students find companionship with those of the opposite sex on their floors.
Natalie Eisenbarth, Topea sophmore and Ellsworth Hall resident assistant, said the residence halls were a good outlet for meeting people.
many times romance can be hard to hide from others on the floor - especially the resident assistants.
"It really is a great way to get to know someone and their habits," Elsenbarth said. "You see how that person interacts with other people and you get to know how they really are."
For Eric Lynn Brandt and James Lifton, both Iowa City freshmen, both were lovestruck well before move-in day. The two started dating during their senior year of high school. Both chose to
come to the University of Kansas, independent of each other's decision. They wanted to meet new people and planned on living in different residence halls. But as fate would have it, both ended up in Ellsworth — on the same floor.
"It was a shock to me that we ended up on the same floor," Brandt said. "At first, I was thinking negatively, but I was confident for the two of us. I was prepared for what could happen, good or bad."
"If I just want to see her for five minutes I can stop by and say hi and go back to my room." Litton said. "I'd rather have her here than anywhere else."
For some couples, things don't turn out so well. If the relationship ends, they have to deal with seeing each other every day for the rest of the year. Privacy is practically nonexistent in such close quarters, and word can spread fast in a gossip-hungry dorm.
The couple has experienced the trials and tribulations of being so close to each other all of the time. So far, things have worked out well.
When Jennifer Sher, St. Louis freshman, dated someone on her floor in Ellsworth Hall, she experienced some of the negative aspects of a hall romance. The relationship did not end happily.
"You are still going to be around that person everyday, and everybody around you knows the details about it in two seconds." Sher said.
When love is not so conveniently located in the dorm, cooperation between roommates is essential when dealing with a long-distance romance.
Ben Huebsch and his roommate, Jeff Vanhemer, both West Des Moines freshmen, have girlfriends that do not attend KU, but their girlfriends visit often.
"We take turns for each other." Huebsch said. "I know my roommate is going to make sacrifices for me when my girlfriend comes to visit."
"When the other's girlfriend is here, we sleep in other rooms," Vanhemert said. "Once, I slept out on the couch in our lobby."
Mutual respect has allowed for minimal conflict between the two roommates.

"We respect the other person wanting to be alone with their girlfriends," Huebsch said.
Taking into account the positive and negative aspects of a residence hall relationship, some have found happiness.
while others are still looking. Brandt and Litton's relationship has been challenged by the changes of college life, but they have adjusted their lives to make it work.

Kansan correspondent
"Domestic violence is so prevalent in American society today, no matter what age, race, or sexual orientation," said Lea Burgess-Carland, Lawrence junior and employee at Lawrence Women's Transitional Care Services. "But it is still not talked about."
Domestic violence remains an issue kept quiet by our society because it questions stereotypes of the traditional American family or religious obligations, Burgess-Carland said.
It's a situation becoming more common. Many students find themselves dealing with abusive situations for the first time in high school or college, yet few may really know how to handle them.
This kind of abuse affects people of all ages, cultures, races, genders, income levels and education levels and sexual orientation. Relationship abuse, or domestic violence, may be emotional, verbal, physical or sexual.
"An abused woman thinks it is her fault because society makes her," she said.
Jacy Hurst, Lawrence junior who also works for WTCS, said those in the queer community may feel similar.
Many factors contribute to why people stay in abusive relationships. According to the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence, some stay because they feel shame, embarrass and isolation from society and specifically they're friends and family.
"Someone who is in a homosexual relationship is less likely to seek help because our society oppresses that lifestyle," she said.
Others stay because it might be dangerous to leave the abuser. And some stay in defense, not only of the abuser, but also of themselves and their love for him or her.
"They feel like a failure," Hurst said. According to The Battered Woman by Lenore Walker, abusive relationships usually go through three phases that make up the 'Cycle of Violence,' which often influences the battered to stay in the relationship.
The first phase, Tension Building, usually involves violent verbal outbursts or long silences.
The violent fight, physical or sexual, occurs in the second phase, the acute incident phase.
Third, in the honeymon phase, the batterer exhibits loving or remorseful behavior. This stage often includes flowers and compliments that coax the abused partner into staying in the relationship.
Likewise, people often stick around in these dangerous relationships because their friends or family
pushed them away from the abuser,
and they must defend themselves by
staying with the abuser.
"This happened to a friend of mine, and I didn't know what to do," Burgess-Carland said. "I said, 'if he doesn't leave, you should' because I figured she'd choose her friends over her abusive boyfriend."
This mistake repeats itself in many situations of young abusive relationships because people don't really know how to handle them, Hurst said. Laura Montgomery, Leavenworth third-year law student, works at the Emily Taylor Resource Center and offered this advice.
"The best thing to do when your friends or roommates find themselves in abusive relationships is to assess the abuse and counter it." Montgomery said. "In other words, counter the isolation, boost their self-esteem and let them know you'll always be there for them no matter what decision they make, without driving the abusive partner away. Countering the abusive helps them see the light at the end of the tunnel, so they may see a way out."
Hurst said it was important to realize that domestic violence could happen to anyone.
and effect, but underlying needs for power and control."
Burgess-Carland said the cycle of violence could begin in the early stages of dating.
"These relationships start out with little things, like little jealousies, insults, and desire for control of what you do or where you go," she said. "We need to educate students that the abusive relationships aren't cause
"It's not your fault and it is okay to be you and not get hit," she said. "Nothing will change unless we educate ourselves and each other. It is like a black eye that you'll never cover up with make-up."
If you or anyone you know needs help or someone to talk to about abusive relationships, there are many places to turn to here in Lawrence. In an emergency, call 911.
The Women's Transitional Care Services, 843-3333, is open 24 hours and has offered support, assistance and counseling to University of Kansas students and Lawrence residents since 1976.
The Emily Taylor Women's Center, 864-3552, offers counseling, support and referrals to KU and Lawrence women as well. 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Friday.
The Kansas Crisis Hotline, toll-free 1-888-END-ABUSE (1-888-363-2287) is available 24 hours a day for confidential help.
Cyndi Hurst, an abuse survivor, said it took a very strong person to seek help and then accept it as she did.
Rape survivor uses experience to educate
"Asking and accepting isn't a weakness, it's a strength." Hurst said.
"Being strong enough to seek the help and accept it — it's the first step to being a survivor."

The fear wasn't gone for long. Praying, she dreaded each second to come.
"Alcohol and trust just don't go together. You have to have a clear mind in order to really trust people. When my instincts tell me that something isn't right, I try to leave the situation or somehow get out of it."
i started praying to God not to let him hurt me anymore," Amber said.
The two men shook and undressed her as they told her that she knew that she "wanted it." One of the men then raped Amber while the second exposed himself and insulted her. Amber did not scream; she was afraid they would become violent. Thoughts ran through her mind of the men strangling her and dumping her body. In the midst of the assault and her prayers, Amber said she still felt encouraged by a higher power.

"Even though I was scared, I felt like someone was with me and if I died I wouldn't be alone." she said.
As her friends helped Amber into the car to leave, her attackers came out of the dorm.
"The guys came back and said,
"I looked at her and said I didn't sleep with anybody, they raped me," Amber said.
While her second attacker raped her, the third man sat in the room playing Nintendo. After he was done, her second attacker got up and talked with his friend in the room for a few minutes. Both men left the room and Amber heard their voices along with the familiar and comforting voices of her friends on the other side of the door.
Before Amber left the room, the two men who had just attacked her returned. They told her she had "wanted it" and urged her to believe their version of the attack.
When Amber met her friends, they could tell that something was bothering her, but she kept her secret at first. Amber burst into tears when one of her friends joked that something had happened with one of the men because the friend saw the condom wrapper on the floor.
'Don't believe anything she says, look at her, she's drunk, she's so out of it.' Amber said.
Ignoring the men, Amber and her friends tried to decide how to handle the situation. They drove around for a while before her friends brought her to see her brother, Brian, at nearby Central Christian College.
At the police department, police gave Amber a Breathalyzer test, which showed zero blood alcohol content. Amber was tested more than eight hours after her last drink. In the emergency room at the local hospital, physicians performed a rape evidence collection kit on Amber. She said the police told her there wasn't enough evidence to prosecute the attackers, even though one of the rapists later wrote a letter to Amber apologizing for the attack.
Her parents were notified and arrived shortly thereafter. While her father initially reacted with anger, her mother tried to nurture Amber by caressing her hair. Her father was displeased by Amber's poor decisions and lies to her mother about where she was supposed to be.
"There'd be nights where I just wouldn't want to talk to anyone. I'd just sit in my room and cry," Amber
"He was angry about what had happened to me but he didn't know who to direct it at," Amber said.
After the rape Amber had a difficult time relating to friends and family.
said. "My friends would be really hurt because I couldn't talk to them about it and they couldn't understand."
Amber said she dealt with loneliness, feelings of emptiness and confusion.
"My whole personality was gone, and I just had to rebuild it stronger," she said.
Now a sophomore at the University majoring in Exercise Science and English, Amber said her relationship with her mother was stronger since the attack. She said she had learned two major life-lessons: to trust her instincts and to forgive.
"Alcohol and trust just don't go together. You have to have a clear mind in order to really trust people," she said. "When my instincts tell me that something isn't right, I try to leave the situation or somehow get out of it."
As part of her recovery and dedication to advocacy, Amber has also volunteered for the Emily Taylor Women's Resource Center, speaking to groups, telling her story and helping with programs.
The center, at 22 Strong Hall, is dedicated to advocacy and providing resources for campus awareness. The center works closely with the Douglas County Rape Victim Survivor Service, which is open 24 hours a day and on holidays. Laura Montgomery, coordinator of the sexual assault and education program at the center, said the center was not intended to be a long-term
counseling center but recommended victims to a psychological services center for extended counseling.
Montgomery said people had the tendency to blame survivors.
"You, have nothing to lose in believing someone who confides in you that they've been raped," Montgomery said.
Montgomery also said if a rape victim confided in a someone, the confidence should not blame the victim. Instead, the confidence should discuss options without making a value judgment or telling the victim what to do.
"Someone who's been assaulted has already lost a great amount of control in their life and incredible violation, and the last thing that they need is someone whom they trust taking more control away from them," Montgomery said.
Amber has dealt with the blame and disbelief she felt because of her rape. She has run through the night many times and thought about the decisions she made and her feelings toward her attackers. Dealing with the hatred toward her rapists was a long, draining emotional process for Amber until she realized forgiveness was the key to her own recovery.
"I realized a lot of what I did that night wasn't perfect either," she said. "I'm no better of a person than they are, they just did something really terrible to me."
She said she felt her rape gave her life more purpose because she created positive changes out of negative experiences. Amber said one of her goals was to educate people about rape so it wouldn't happen to anyone else. She encourages victims to talk to others about being raped and to keep a journal.
"Realize that you're not alone," she said. "And the more you talk the more you'll find strength in your own voice and more other women will too."

Oueers and Allies tries to include straight students
By Joanna Miller
Kansan correspondent
Members of Queers and Allies want the community to know they aren't exclusive. The group has been trying to include members of the straight community through outreach programs promoting diversity.
Queers and Allies, a campus organization established to support gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students, hopes to educate students and the community, as well as provide support for members.
"Inclusiveness is the biggest thing the organization tries for." said Jeremmy Wolff. Derbv junior.
Wolff is the coordinator of a community outreach program called "The Speakers' Bureau."
Through the program, Queers and Allies organizes a panel representing various sexual orientations and answers questions for classes and groups. By reaching out to others, members try to promote diversity and eliminate misconceptions surrounding their sexuality.
The group has given seven presentations this year and looks forward to continuing the program.
Throughout the year, that would end up reaching at least 1,000 people," Wolff said of the program's potential. Through participation in the program, Wolff said many people he spoke with thought sexual orientation was a choice.
in presentations, he often addresses the stereotype that people in gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered relationships focus only on sex.
"I would challenge straight people to ask: When did they ask to be straight?" he said.
"A lot of people think sexual orientation is one of their primary functions," he said.
As an example, Wolff said he thought of himself as a student and in terms of his major and interests before he thought of himself as a gay man. People sometimes forget to view a person as a whole, instead viewing a person just by his or her sexual identity, Wolff said.
Queers and Allies encourages the participation and support of straight students in the organization. Having straight student involvement "would improve the visibility of the queer community as seen by the straight," Wolff said.
The office coordinator for Queers and Allies, Sean Ringey, Clearwater junior, said he would like to see more people attend meetings.
"Anyone is welcome," Ringey said. "We would really encourage straight allies to come."
However, he said some members thought the organization should be only for students who were of certain sexual orientations.
"There are some members who don't want to integrate
with straight students," he said. "They want to show differences rather than similarities. There are a lot of people who would like to see the organization more activist."
One program the organization offers specifically to gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgendered students is a weekly support group. Ringey said the group was confidential and was formed as a way for students to gather and discuss issues related to their sexuality.
He said that dwindling attendance for Queer and Allies support groups concerned members and that participation in the groups could be suffering because group settings could intimidate some people, Ringey said.
"I think there are a lot of people who are aware of Q & A, but it is a big step for people to come to groups," Rinzev said.
Members of Queers and Allies look forward to events coming up in the spring, such as Pride Week and World AIDS Day, to boost campus awareness of diversity and their organization.
Wolff said the group was important not only as a resource for people trying to come to terms with their sexuality but also as an educational tool.
"If there were no group on campus, it would be a lot easier for people to continue stereotypes," he said. Edited by Amy Randolph
Sex course to be offered for no credit
By Cassandra Taylor Kansan correspondent
Students looking in the schedule of spring classes may be surprised at the absence of Dennis Dailey's Human Sexuality course.
The course is being offered as a series of classes for no credit this spring at Ecumenical Christian Ministries, 1204 Oread
Ave. The condensed course lasts for 10 weeks and meets every Thursday from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., beginning Thursday, Jan. 25. The fee for the program is $30 for students and

Dailies: expect 70
100 students to
sign up for his class.
"I want my class to be incredibly practical," Dailey, professor of social welfare, said.
$40 for non-students.
He said he wanted students to bring depth to their relationships and have meaningful sexual bonds.
Human Sexuality, SW 303, will again be offered through the school of social welfare during the fall semester.
Kelly Lohrmeyer, Shawnee senior, said Human Sexuality was one of the best classes she had taken at the University.
"He talked about real issues and things that matter," Lohrmever said.
About 500 students normally enroll in the fall course and Dalley said when he's offered the course for no credit in the past about 70 to 100 students have signed up. The spring course covers a little less than half of the regular course and works with a smaller group of students.
For more information on registration for the spring course, contact ECM at 843-4933.

Families confront different college experience

Marriage, children provide students hassles, fulfillment
By Alexzia Plummer
Kansan correspondent
— Edited by Kayla Monson
Imagine college life with bottle feedings and diaper changes instead of weekend parties and hangovers. For some students, having a family changes the college experience.
Shannon Baker, Abilene sophomore, has a 13-month-old daughter, Ashton, with her husband, Lucas.
"I realize that I can't just go out on the weekend." Baker said. "It limits the time I can spend with friends, but it's its own amazing experience." she said.
Baker said her family had a positive influence on her educational pursuit.
"I think I'm doing better in school," she said. "It makes me more focused, more serious. I have to get good grades so I can provide for my family.
"Instead of just pursuing the things I consider important on a whim, I'm responsible for two other people. It's fun and fulfilling, but there's more to be aware of."
Luke Tevebaugh works as the assistant director of security at McColum Hall. He also lives in the residence hall with his wife, Lindsay, and his 1-month-old daughter, Lilv.
“Instead of just pursuing the things I consider important on a whim, I'm responsible for two other people,” Tevebaugh said. “It's fun and fulfilling, but there's more to be aware of.”

Living in the residence hall with traditional students gives Tewebaugh a unique perspective on college life.
"Looking back on normal college students, I see I was in the same spot three years ago," he said. "I never really sowed any wild oats, but I had my time of unconcerned freedom. I thought it would last forever. I had been looking forward to marriage, but I had no idea it would be so soon."

Student-parents don't usually live on Daisy Hill; some chose to live at Stouffer Place and others live off campus. This distance from other students can hinder social interaction.
"When you don't live in the dorss, it separates you in a way," Baker said.
Different campus groups accommodate nontraditional students to ensure that they get the social as well as the academic benefits of college.
Kathy Rose-Mockry, program director of the Emily Taylor Resource Center, said time management was vital for students with families.
"When you're taking a full load of classes, parenting and keeping a job, that requires a lot of balancing," Rose-Mockry said. "You
have very little spontaneous, unstructured time to get connected to the campus and meet new people."
Rose-Mocky said the center's staff offered resources and assistance to students who needed help.
The Student Development Center also aids nontraditional students in their college careers. Marshall Jackson, associate director, said that the staff encouraged students to get involved in student organizations, to take advantage of the University's resources, and to
make connections with people.
Other students' acceptance of students who have families can influence the social aspect of the college experience.
"I always feel awkward telling people for the first time that I'm married and have a kid." Baker said. "I get pretty positive reactions, but I've had some people who are noticeably uncomfortable.
Tevebaugh said most of the students he interacted with thought it was neat that a family lived in the same place as they do.
Baker stressed that although her lifestyle was different from most college students, she still had similar goals.
"Just because of the fact something happened that some would say is an unfortunate situation doesn't mean I have to change my goals," Baker said. "When you're 19 and you have a kid, people try to understand that. We're all 19, and we're all going to college."
Fewer women go to school to marry
By Amy Riscoe Special to the Kansan
For some students, there is more to college than just walking out with a diploma — college is a place to find someone to spend the rest of their life with.
"I'm not coming here to become a businesswoman," said Taylor Williams, Dallas, Texas, freshman. "I'm here to find a husband."
Williams, however, is an exception to the modern rule.
Between 1983 and 1999, the number of married students without children fell from 2,520 to 1,036, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. Student married with children went from 1,459 to 713.
Nowadays, men and women were waiting longer to get married, said Dennis Karpowitz, associate professor of psychology. Karpowitz said that waiting longer to get married was a positive trend for relationships because partners going into the marriage were older and more experienced and that waiting increased the longevity of the marriage. He said women were now more independent and wanted to be able to support themselves.
But relationships are still an important part of the college experience.
"It appears that finding a marriage partner is still one of the resaons to go to school," Karpowitz said, "although students are less likely to list this as a reason than they did 20 years ago."
"Back then, finding a husband was the No. 1 reason why women went to college," said Ginny Hayward, Gamma Phi Beta housemother. "They usually got married right away and never graduated."
"All of the weddings that I have gone to, the bride and groom met each other while they were at school."
Mary Corcoran, Lawrence junior, said women today seemed to go to school for an education, not to find a relationship.
"They are more interested in getting a job once they graduate, not a husband." she said.
The number of students on campus made the University a good place to meet potential mates, said Jordan Ream, Dallas, Texas, freshman.
"We are all about the same age and have common interests," said Ream.
And some students think they have already found their spouse.
"I already found her, but she doesn't know it yet," said Josh Mulsow, Overland Park sophomore.

Contraceptive option could have men popping pills
Sex on the Hill
By Joanna Miller
Kansan correspondent
trimize birth control options for students. Pharmaceutical companies are developing a male contraception pill similar to the pill used by women. It may be available to the public in five to 10 years.
A new contraception method may revolutionize birth control options for students.
Luke Humphreys, Ashland sophomore, said he would like to know more about the pill, such as its side effects and price, before making decisions about its use.
"I think it would be a smart thing to do, especially for college students," Humphreys said.
"If the guy would care about his mate, it would be no problem, so they wouldn't have to add stress to their relationship," Humphreys said.
As the female birth control pill celebrates its 40th anniversary this year, some think the male pill will change social control issues between men and women
Humphreys said students who take their sexual relationships seriously should con-

Haveman, graduate teaching assistant in the department of sociology, said these gender issues are why the male pill wasn't developed sooner.
"Ideally, this would be a move toward greater gender equality," she said. "I think it is very telling that we came out with Viagra before male birth-control."

She said she wondered if the male pill would take reproductive control out of the hands of women.
Stopping or neutralizing millions of sperm is more complex than blocking one egg. Because of this complication, the male pill took longer to develop.
Science also has hindered the development of the male pill.
This form of male birth control consists of two parts. Doctors implant a small pellet of testosterone into the abdomen. This needs to be done once every 12 weeks. The implant keeps sex drive at a normal level.
Krista Douthett, Topeka sophomore, said she was glad that men would have a new birth control option, but she would not trust the entire responsibility to men.
By neutralizing sperm, the medication would make pregnancy improbable.
Then a pill containing progesterone, another male hormone, is taken daily. The combination of the two hormones can stop sperm production in two to three months.
"I would still use my birth control because the consequences would directly relate to my life," Douthett said.

Sexually transmitted diseases
Disease Chlamydia HPV/Genital Warts/Intrapithelial Neoplasia Herpes Simplex (HSV) Molluscum Contagiosum Chancroid Pelvic Inflammatory Disease
Transmission Fluids — contact of mucous membranes (cervix, urethra) with infected person's fluids (semen and mucus). Transmission most common with exposure through vaginal or anal sex. Casual contact considered to be safe.
Contact — touching (hand/genital or genital/genital) and infected person's lesions can transmit cells containing the virus. Penetrative intercourse not necessary.
Contact — touching (hand/genital or genital/genital) and infected person's lesions can transmit cells containing the virus. Penetrative intercourse not necessary. Transmission can occur in the absence of lesions.

Transmission most common with exposure through oral, anal, or vaginal sex. Casual contact considered to be safe.
Treatment A number of commonly used antibiotics are effective. Partners must be treated at the same time.
Cervix-cryo (freezing), laser, and LEEP (loop electrourgical excision procedure). External Aldara, cryo, laser, Iliquid N, TCA/BCA (tri and bichloracetic acid), podophyllin, and interferon. In some, the virus is cleared from the body. For others, viral particles remain latent form after treatment.
With most initial attack, the process is too far along to allow for benefit from antiviral drugs. Topical anesthetic powder or gel is helpful. Antiviral drugs are effective if taken very early in an attack or continuously in a preventive regimen.
Cryo, scraping, chemicals.
Responds promptly to several antibiotics.
Therapy with one or more antibiotics with broad coverage. Must always cover for chlamydia and gonorrhea; management sometimes requires hospitalization. Partners must be treated at the same time.
Prevention Infect condoms (latex or polyurethane) should provide protection.
Barrier methods are only partially protective. Only total absence of any touching of infected tissue will avoid transmission.

Condoms don't always prevent STDs
Kansan correspondent
By Louise Stauffer
Genital warts, herpes and chancroid are the most common sexually transmitted diseases found on college campuses.
And none of them can be prevented by using a condom.
Surprised? You shouldn't be. Genital warts, herpes, chancroid and other STDs are spread from partner to partner by contact. Contact is defined as touching a partner (hand-to-genital or genital-to-genital).
In a place with thousands of unfamiliar faces such as a college campus, being careful when being intimate with someone is important. Simply using a condom as protection isn't enough.
Henry Buck, senior student health physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said that using a condom during any sexual activity wasn't a safeguard against all STDs.
"There is a common misconception that a condom will protect you from everything, and that is not true." Buck said, "That theory is full of holes."
Buck said that most people were taught that condoms were the only thing needed for safe sex.
"Most people are worried about getting AIDS, and that can usually be prevented by using a condom," Buck said. "Using a condom makes sex safer, but you are still at risk for other STDs."
According to a pamphlet Buck wrote,
"Sexually Transmitted Diseases: What
Everyone Should Know," the most common STDs on campuses included genital warts, chlamydia, genital herpes and molluscum. These STDs can be cured with antibiotics if caught early. Genital warts and molluscum can be identified by lesions on the skin, but recent reports suggest that transmission can occur in the absence of lesions. This can make identifying a safe partner tricky.
Katie Lindsey, Grand Junction, Colo., freshman, said she didn't have to worry about STDs.
"I have been in a monogamous relationship for 10 months, so we don't worry about it," Lindsay said. "But I do think it's important to be careful." But Rock disgusted.
"There is no such thing as 'safe sex,'"
Buck said. "Abstinence is the only way."
The Watkins Health Center Web site provides tips on how to make sex safer. The site listed no-risk activities, such as massages, hugging, phone or Internet sex and fantasy. The highest-risk activities listed were unprotected anal intercourse, unprotected vaginal intercourse and sharing needles for drugs or piercing.
The best way to prevent STDs, Buck said, is to communicate with your partner, practice abstinence or else practice safer sex.
"We all have the 'it's not going to happen to me' theory," Buck said.

Contraceptive methods satisfy different needs
Affordability, reliability affect students' options when making a choice
By Andrea White
Kansan correspondent
The age-old fear of unwanted pregnancy is still a concern for sexually active students.
A number of factors should be considered when choosing a method of contraception, said Janis Ellis-Claypool, a health educator at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
"They should consider what they can afford and when they might want to have children," Ellis-Claypool said. "And it is always a good idea to talk to your current physician."
ties should agree on who should take the lead."
Ellis-Claypool also emphasized the need for people to speak with their partners when choosing a method.
"Contraception is not just a female responsibility," she said. "Both par-
Contraception falls into two basic categories: hormonal and barrier methods.
Henry Buck, senior student health physician at Watkins, said oral contraceptives were the most popular choice for KU students.
"The pill is more popular because it is more effective. You don't have to use it at the time of intercourse and it doesn't interfere with intercourse." Buck said.
Women have another choice if they decide the pill is the best method for them. Two types of pills exist: the combined pill, which contains the synthetic hormones estrogen and progesterone, and the mini-pill, which only contains progesterone.
Buck said the combined pill was much cheaper and much more effective, with only one to two unintended pregnancies per thousand, and the progesterone-only pill had a pregnancy rate of about 10 times higher.
Another hormonal contraceptive is Depo-Provera, an injection of the hormone progesterone, taken every three months. While Buck doesn't recommend Depo-Provera as a first choice, he said it was an option for women who did not want to worry about taking a pill every day.
Men also may eventually have the option to use a hormonal contraceptive, which would inhibit sperm production. The pill, a combination of the male sex hormones testosterone and desogestrol, is currently undergoing clinical trials.
"They have been talking about it for a long time." Buck said.
Buck said he was unsure of the popularity a male pill might have if released because of possible negative side effects. Buck said there was some concern if sperm production was altered, it might not bounce back.
A female condom called Reality was approved by the Food and Drug Administration in 1994. The female condom does not seem to have gained any popularity on campus, however.
While oral contraceptives probably were used more on campus, condoms were also used to prevent pregnancy, Buck said, and other barrier methods
existed besides the traditional male condom.
"They bought about 50 in the pharmacy when it came out, and I don't think they have sold any." Buck said. "They are hard to use, big, bulky, messy and not aesthetically pleasing.
The diaphragm and cervical cap are less effective barrier methods. Watkins fits women for diaphragms but not cervical caps.
"They are not popular." Buck said. "The pregnancy rate is much higher: five to eight percent. We fit 10 diaphragms a year at most at Watkins."
Students can learn more about methods of birth control by making an appointment at Watkins or picking up brochures available there.

Sex on the Hill
PILGRIMS MAY 12, 1964
Seniors Alec Miller, Des Moines, Iowa, and Amanda Smith, Crooks, S.D., take a look at bridalware. The couple has been engaged for 10 months and plans to remain abstinent until they exchange vows May 26, 2011. Photo by Joanna Fews/KANSAN
Couples say choice to abstain solidifies their relationships
Continued from page 1B
her go through a lot of the stuff," he said. "I had pretty much decided to be abstinent before that just because the Bible commands us to, but that really impacted me to watch this girl go through absolute hell because she made the wrong choice like that."
Keeping the commitment hasn't always been easy. Miller and Smith have faced a special challenge as they have decided to remain abstinent until their wedding in six months. But they have found ways to deal with the temptation.
"One of the things we really enjoy most is just to go somewhere like a coffee shop and just be able to talk. Those are some of the times when the relationship seems most fulfilling." Miller said. "That kind of reminder and those chances of talking remind us that it's really not imperative that we have sex. Sure, there is longing and attraction; you just kind of have to watch your step."
Miller said sex wasn't central to his relationship.
"Sex changes," he said. "The person I am probably won't change much. You've got to find out if you are compatible with the person instead of compatible having sex with them."
"You develop all the other intimacy first — emotional, spiritual, mental, intellectual," she said. "Then when you get married, and you can have that physical intimacy, it's just the topper, the icing on the cake, instead of the basis of the your whole relationship because that's not a good basis."
Smith said there were different kinds of intimacy to explore.
Mercer and others sometimes had to face peers with different values.
"Ithink it's better when you can walk away from a night thinking that you've made someone feel good instead of walking away thinking that you've had good sex."
Alec Miller
Des Moines, Iowa, senior
"I've been in work situations where it wasn't necessarily ridicule but it was more like the innocent little jokes that would go around," Mercer said. "Can we shock Adriane today? What can we tell her that she doesn't know to smudge her innocence or to prove how naive she is? I don't think it was intended to be cruel; it was just because I was obviously different in that aspect."
For those who are thinking of being abstinent, Miller and Smith said communication, respect and accountability were key for couples.
"We know that we're not going to have sex until we're married," Miller said. "We've already talked about that, and we are open about talking about that. So it's not like it's a taboo topic. I think we're realistic that sexual temptation is there. So we don't just close our eyes and pretend it's not there. I think that helps us to see the cliff before we walk over it." Smith agreed.
"We acknowledge that we are sexually attracted to each other and that we're going to enjoy it once we're married," she said. "It's not like, 'Sex is bad, bad, bad.' I think we're almost more tempted
if it's this topic that no one talks about." Smith and Miller suggest that people who haven't had sex should wait until marriage. However, Smith said even those who had had sex should make that commitment.
"You can decide from that point on to be abstinent," she said. "There's still a little bit that's lost, but you can go back and make that commitment from then on."
Mercer also said that the commitment wasn't easy and that it needed to be personal.
"It's not easy, and it's not a lighthearted thing," she said. "It's something that takes patience and trust that you'll find the right person. You can't make the decision under peer pressure — that devalues it. It needs to be an honest commitment."
Miller said he found that girls actually appreciated the commitment.
"From my experience, it seems that girls feel better and more special when guys take time to love them by holding them, by talking with them, by spending quiet meaningful time with them than by being sexual," he said. "I think it's better when you can walk away from a night thinking that you've made someone feel good instead of walking away thinking that you've had good sex."
Smith related a story of how meaningful it was to wait for Miller.
"My parents gave me a 'True Love Waits' ring for my 14th birthday to wear on my wedding ring finger," she said. "I wore it until I got engaged, and I still have it in a box. It was always my intention to give that ring as a symbol to my spouse on my wedding night. It just means a lot." — Edited by J. R. Mendoza
Culture affects students' views about sexuality
Students from different parts of the world see sex differently — though many KU students who have lived in foreign countries say the United States has greatly influenced their views of sex.
By Nathan Dayani Special to the Kansan
Alvaro Berg, Santiago, Chile, senior, has lived in the United States for about six years. Berg said sexuality was an important component of understanding one-self.
"I think we need to learn more about ourselves," he said. "And sexuality is one of the best ways to learn who we are."
Even though Berg spent most of his life living in Chile, many of his perspectives on sexuality have been influenced by American culture.
"My views on sexuality were created in this country," Berg said. "I was from a conservative family, and I never really had much exposure. Much of my understanding of sexuality and love has happened here."
One of the main concerns Berg has about sexuality in America is that younger generations often irresponsibly engage in sexual activity to the point that it loses its meaning. Berg said many of these people gave in to societal pressures that subtly supported sexual promiscuity.
Gisela Gharibpour, Overland Park junior, agreed that younger generations excessively use their sexuality without considering the unfortunate consequences. Gharibpour is a first-generation American. Even though her parents immigrated to the United States from Iran, she said that their views on sexuality were not significantly different from the rest of American society.
"I don't see the cultural difference as much because they have lived here for half of their lives," Gharibourd said. "We're an Americanized family."
She knows several families of Iranian and Middle Eastern descent who take a more conservative stance than her parents. But she said her family effectively balanced their cultural views with American views on sexuality.
"For my sake, they learned to adjust," she said. "They've done such a good job on separating themselves and realizing where I am. They truly believe in the culture that they grew up with, but they know that they have to balance the cultures."
Like Berg, Gharibpour said she thought many students rushed into expressing themselves sexually, often making sex lose its importance.
"We have a lot of living to do," she said. "And I don't think you can honestly say that you are in love with the first guy you meet here. It could happen, but I think there's so much out there. Sex is too often used to be used and it loses its meaning."
Stephanie Richard, Bretagne, France, graduate student. has lived in America for about three years.
"Freedom of behavior, freedom of thinking, freedom of expression is very important in France," Richard said.
Richard said that these traditions of freedom helped explain why the French seemed more willing to express themselves sexually. She said that one of the fundamental differences between sexuality in France and sexuality in America was the American practice of categorizing people by their sexual orientation.
"In America, there is a need to categorize," she said. "In France, we don't really care."
Berg said that American society often did not think of homosexuality as an expression of love and was therefore unwilling to fully accept it.
"I think we still have a lot to learn, not only in America, but in the rest of the world," he said. "It might be socially acceptable or agreeable in certain places like California, but there is still much more to learn before homosexuality is accepted as another branch of love. The essence of homosexuality is loving another person from the same sex. Because of that, it should be respected as a concept of love, an expression of love."

Sex on the Hill
By Travis Reed Special to the Kansan
It doesn't involve whips, chains or leather, but can entail needles, tubes or even body bags.
There is a new arena for deviation in sexual activity.
People eager to reinvigorate their sex lives might be looking past standbys such as Barry White, tantrum and scented candles in haphazard pursuit of a pharmacological miracle.
Since it was approved for use in 1998, Viagra has been just that for more than ten million men who suffer from erectile dysfunction.
But some say it also greases the rails of promiscuity and has become a recreational club drug with grisly consequences.
Reports from the National Institute of Drug Abuse say the drug is popular among gay males
"If they have symptoms of E.D., it could be indicative of other medical conditions," Cook said, adding that diabetes, depression, and cardiovascular disease can cause E.D.
Rock said Viagra was probably not the answer to most students' erectile maladies.
Others said they would decline the offer for other reasons.
in Los Angeles and club crowds in Boston. Researchers in Britain found three percent of nightclub patrons admitted taking the drug recreationally.
"A relationship maintenance probably is the most appropriate E.D. issue for the traditional college-aged student," he said.
"I don't think I'll need it right now," said Drew Davis, Wichita junior. "I'm still young and strong like a bull."
When taken without a prescription, the drug produced the same physiological effects as it did in those for whom the drug is prescribed, said Geoff Cook, a spokesperson for Pfizer, the pharmaceutical company behind the drug. These sensations include heightened propensity for achieving and maintaining erections.
"I wouldn't consider taking it because of the side effects," Sengvilay said. "It's killed some people. I don't know if the safety is certain."
Cook said most men who legitimately need the drug are at least forty, but these types of conditions could usher in onset of the condition much sooner.
Although he said he'd never heard of Viagra use on campus, Ethan Sengvilay, Liberal junior, said he wouldn't take the drug if the opportunity arose.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the problem was the drug could be dangerous for individuals taking certain medications or with pre-existing medical conditions. At least three men in Los Angeles died because of an interaction between the drug and another type of drug known as a
"Viagra is a product that may be appropriately used by individuals, but there is a potential for misuse," Rock said. "It's a medication that potentially has some risks and side effects. Those with cardiovascular disease may be at risk. It really is a medication that should be used only at doctor's advice."
"nitrate."
Cook said Viagra should not be self-prescribed, and persons who thought they could have erectile dysfunction should contact a doctor.

Pick-up lines add excitement to dating life
By Louise Stauffer
Kansan Correspondent
Bars, clubs, basically any party just wouldn't be the same without the blatant sex invites that are disguised as pick-up lines.
Pick-up lines. You can't live with them, but what would life be like without them?
Men seem to be the most frequent users of pick-up lines; however, not all men choose to practice the art.
"I don't use them because by the time I usually would, I am too drunk to care," Ian Schuetz, Hiahatha sophomore, said.
Jay Montgomery, Solomon freshman, also abstains from the lines.
"I have never used a pick-up line on a girl," Montgomery said. "I think they're stupid."
KU women seem to think they're pretty stupid as well.
Andrea Schorb, Shawnee sophomore, doesn't take pick-up lines seriously.
"I just think that when guys get drunk, they start saying stupid stuff." Schorb said.
Many times, pick-up lines don't work.
"I think a pick-up line worked for me once, but not usually." Alejandra Cornelius, St. Louis junior, said. "The guy doing the talking would have to be pretty hot."
The consensus seems to be that pick-up lines can be funny, gross, annoying, and incredibly ineffective. But, they seem to add spice to the dating game.

Hall gets rise out of porn
By Meghan Bainum writer @kanans.com
Kansas staff writer
Some Wednesday nights are a bit naughtier than others at Stephenson Scholarship Hall. Every couple of months on the "hump day" of the week, the eclectic hall holds a pornographic night where men from the hall are invited to congregate and — well — watch porn movies.
Porn co-chairman David Roby, Topeka sophomore, said that the night was not an official scholarship hall event, but had been going on for about 10 years.
A recent porn selection for the night was Raw Talent, which featured a man having sex with a roast turkey.
However, Roby said another rented porn movie involving entirely
anal sex was the hardest to watch.
"But an hour and a half of anal viewing was a bit too much." Roby said.
"It's just what college kids do."
Michael Newman
Ponca City, Okla., senior
said nothing about it it was sexual, and in fact, it was rather humorous.
"No matter what the porn industry tries to promote, sex still has emotion," Roby said. "The porn industry tries to promote that sex is an emotionless act, and when you remove the emotion it's pretty funny and absurd."
In fact, he said there was nothing really to feel offended about when it comes to porn.
"Porn is just a bad movie if you really think about it," he said. "If you go to see Basic Instinct, it's porn with thrills. Porn removes the thrills and allows for what people want in a bad movie anyway."
Although Roby said he was not sure about the title or the theme of the next porno night, which will be at 10 tonight, he said it would be something to be remembered.
And not all residents decide to participate in the festivities.
Former Stephenson resident Michael Newman, Ponca City, Okla., senior, said he never attended the event, but he didn't really think there was anything wrong with those who did. He said he didn't think porn night was that big of deal.
He said anyone, male or female could attend, but the event was not mandatory for anybody — including Stephenson men.
"It's just what college kids do," he said. "For better — or for worse." - Edited by J. R. Mendoso

Sex on the Hill
Communication lifestyle can help improve sex life
Bv Jacob Roddv
By Jacob Roddy Special to the Kansan
Sex in America, a 1994 University of Chicago study, concluded that people in monogamous relationships have the most sex and are happiest with their sex lives.
Sheryle Gallant, University of Kansas associate professor of psychology and instructor of an intimate relationships class, said the best way for students in monogamous relationships to enhance their sex lives was to improve communication between partners.
Students may have a difficult time dis cussing issues concerning sex because they don't want their partner to feel inadequate. Students may also be concerned if there is a difference in the level of sexual experience between partners, Gallant said, but fear could keep them from having the kind of sex life that they desire.
She also said that men and women may approach sex differently.
"Guys can be satisfied with just a physical experience, while girls often want sex to be part of a strong emotional bond," Gallant said.
Raaean Scharenberg, Lawrence senior and former co-host of the 1988 KJHK program Simply Sex, agreed with Gallant that good communication between partners was fundamental in improving one's sex life.
"Know yourself, know what you like and know how to communicate it to your partner," she said. "You need to be comfortable enough with your partner to communicate with them what you like."
Scharenberg also said that being physi cally active could help improve sex.
Gallant said she wasn't aware of any research that linked cardiovascular health with a better sex life, but said people in good physical condition are more likely to be seen as attractive and more sexually appealing.
Gallant said another issue facing couples was stress. Stress can lead to fatigue, which may detract from a couple's desire to have sex. Getting more sleep and reducing stress could help reduce the problem.
In addition, studies have shown that small amounts of alcohol could increase arousal, but excess amounts could have the opposite effect, Gallant said.
Scharenberg said another option that may help spice up students' sex lives was to check out the offerings of a store such as Naughty but Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., for a kinky alternative. She said products such as adult videos and ribbed condoms added a different twist to sex.
Richard Osburn, owner of Naughty but Nice, said the store's products could enhance students' sex lives, and although some of the more racy options didn't appeal to everyone, more mainstream items were available.
"It can be about setting the scene or creating an atmosphere with candles, with incense or with a nice, scented lotion and giving one another a back rub," he said.
Osburn also said it was important for students to know their partners and to practice safe sex.

As part of an investigative feature for the University Daily Kansan's annual "Sex on the Hill" special section, I used my ethernet connection to try and get something I'd never got before: cyber-laid.
Reporter remains cyber-virgin
Instead, after making dozens of fruitless propositions in bubbly arial typeface, I decided that virtual abstinence is OK.
Originally, I was going to be reporter-like and get to the bottom of this cybersex issue. I planned to converse with those on campus most closely associated with the incognito enterprise.
I stood in the rain on the sidewalk of Jayhawk Boulevard last Wednesday with my notebook ready, stopping passers-by with the question: "Hev. do you cyber?"
Axl Rose once said that it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain. I found that it's also hard to get people to candidly discuss their cyber-experiences. Two people admitted to having tried cybersex, but neither would consent to an interview, on or off the record.
This left me no choice. I had to try it for myself After searches directed me to nauseating sites requiring credit card numbers, I opted to go with that company of companies: America Online.
First, I needed a screen name. I chose "HonorzKidz," a name that carried a hint of academic prestige as well as an unconventional use of the letter "z" that I hoped would advertise my taste for the bizarre.
The first room I went in was the "Flirts' Nook."
Two people immediately left the chatroom. Other cyberfriends ridiculed me.
"I am 19 years old, dark-haired, brown-eyed, a god among men," I typed.
"Hey, somebody go keep the honors student company," Badaz2123 replied.
Two others named something like Foxxyx and HunyBunch sounded friendly, but they turned out to be 13-year-olds from Philadelphia and some small town in Canada.
It went on this way for a while. Twenties chat, Britney Spears chat, Alone@home — all disappointments. I went into the international chatroom for some foreign relations, but all I found were Germans discussing the existence of God. Eighteen-year-old females promising pics were

really porn links in disguise. By all indications, I was looking for love in all the wrong chat rooms.
Finally, in the fifty-something singles room, I met my most promising candidate: a 19-year-old female who claimed to be "damn sexy." I instantly instant messaged her.
HonorzKidz: Hello
LuvKtn2000: hi
HonorzKids! I hear you're damn sexy
LimKn200 you
LuvKtn2000: jm
HonorzKidz: neat, how does that work out for you?
LuvKtn2000: good i guess. LOL
HonorzKidz: so, do you like basketball?
LwrWr
LuvKinz000. yeah
HonorzKidz cool
HonorzKidz: I have to leave now
LimorKidz: busy
LuvKtn2000: bye
I signed off. My cyber-seduction tactics were pathetic. Chalk it up to either inexperience or virtual performance anxiety, I couldn't go any further. I was a cyber-prude.
I knew deep down that cybersex is really just about role-playing, but I couldn't get past the fact that there were real people behind these words, and that any one of these real people I picked might actually be 13.
In this particular arena, issues of disease, pregnancy and monogamy dissipate into cyberspace. But some things, such as physical contact, are definitely missing. So barring injury or surgical implantation of microchips to control my libido, I'm going to stick to striking out the old-fashioned way.

Book details Hispanic actors in Hollywood
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — When veteran actor Gilbert Roland starred in the 1959 TV series pilot Amigo as a police detective working the U.S.-Mexico border, the show was summarily rejected.
Advertisers declared that viewers would not accept Hispanics as series leads, said Hollywood historian Luis Reves.
The situation is virtually unchanged today, as a study being issued this week illustrates: Minorities other than African Americans tend to be invisible on network television, according to a coalition of civil rights groups.
What's missing, he said, are Hispanic-directed movies that reflect the Latino experience in the way films from such directors as Spike Lee and John Singleton reflect the African-American perspective.
In television, Reyes said, diversity needs to be broadened beyond just Black and White — an assessment backed by the National Latino Media Council and other groups issuing a report card on broadcasters Tuesday.
Although few movies or TV series explore Hispanic life (Showtime's new *Resurrection Blud*. is a rare example), many have used Hispanic actors. From the start, the movie industry took advantage of the labor pool represented by Los Angeles-area Hispanics, including ranchero workers who knew how to ride a horse. Revocates reu
Progress has been made. There are more Hispanic actors in films and a broader range of roles available to them beyond the old stereotypes of maids, Latin lovers or gang members. Reyes cites such success stories as Jennifer Lopez, Salma Hayek, Andy Garcia and Freddie Prince Jr.
In the 1924 Douglas Fairbanks' film *The Thief of Bagdad*, the contingent of "Arab" extras was played by Mexican-Americans, he said. Hispanics played Native American as well as Latin roles in Western movies and TV shows like Broken Arrow (1956-60).
But Hollywood's resistance to diverse casting has not kept Hispanics from carving out a place for themselves, Reyes said. In Hispanics in Hollywood: A Celebration of 100 Years in Film and Television, Reyes details the careers of major and minor actors who were Hispanic.
With an eye on the past, Reyes is optimistic about the future.
"The political and economic strength of the Hispanic American community is only now starting to be recognized as a major force in American society." Reyes writes in his book, "and the entertainment industry is slowly beginning to reflect those concerns in films and television."

("Hispanics) were there from the beginning." Reyes said. "It's part of Hollywood history, part of the whole picture, and it's as valid and important as anyone else's history in Hollywood."
The book also offers in its 7,500-plus entries a comprehensive list of films and TV programs featuring Hispanic players, characters or themes.

Up the road, in Hartford, Lorelai's old-money parents (Edward Herrmann and Kelly Bishop) have long since written off their maverick daughter, despite the happy life she built for Rory and herself. But they have begun showering attention on Rory, who, they imagine, might be a candidate for the country-club style Lorelai rejected.
Gilmore Girls has a lot to say about growing up, parenting, family politics and social class — most explicitly from the mouth of Lorelai, who, as a coping device, fires ironic rebuttals at the world around her with almost helpless fancy.
NEW YORK — Like her teen-age daughter Rory who is sometimes mistaken as her sister, 32-year-old Lorelai Gilmore is a looker.
But looks aren't really the point of Gilmore Girls. Closeness is. No generation gap here! The Misses Gilmore are sufficiently in synch that, after a fight, each retreats to her bedroom where she cues up the same album by Macy Gray.
Lauren Graham sparkles as Lorelai Gilmore, an unwed mother raising 16-year-old Rory (Alexis Bledel) in cozy Stars Hollow, Conn., where she manages the Independence Inn and drinks a lot of coffee.
A refreshing comedy-drama, Gilmore Girls joins its heroes in focusing not on appearances, but on truth, feelings and basic human quirkiness. Airing Thursday on the WB network at 7 p.m., the result is this fall's best new series.
Gilmore Girls charming with family friendship
The Associated Press
Typical mother-daughter banter goes like this:
Gilmore claimed four of eight categories in the-released Viewers for Quality Television's viewer poll, which named Graham best actress and Loreal as "most interesting" new character.
Rory: "So, is this party grandma's having gonna be a big deal?"
"On the show, we have very, very real relationships," says Graham, "with a kind of heartache at the center — the pain any family endures. But the setting is so idyllic! And not in a stupid way, but in a way anybody would like to be part of."
Lorelai: "Not really. The government will close that day. Flags will fly at half-mast. Barbra Streisand will give her final concert — again. The pope has previous plans, but he's trying to get out of them. However, Elvis and Jim Morrison are coming. And they're bringing chips."
Rory (sighs): "Ask a simple question."
Now Graham sighs. "It's a lot of dense material to memorize," she tells a reporter over lunch. "Rory is starting to be more talkative, but we have lots of exchanges where I say a lot and then she says, 'I don't know,' or 'Really?'
"Lorelai is a character that is SO about the way she speaks and what she says! But it's my challenge to make sure there are also moments of silence, of openness. She's a person who is constantly deflecting, constantly defensive and very funny and very tough. But the audience has to be able to see where it's all coming from."

Military to recruit at shopping malls
The Associated Press
HINSTON
HINGTON
WASHINGTON -- The Pentagon plans to set up recruiting stations in major shopping malls across the nation, opening a new "front" in its battle to attract young men and women, a senior official said yesterday.
Bernard Rostker, the undersecretary of defense for personnel and readiness, told reporters that in December the first of these new recruiting offices would be established in the Potomac Mills megamall outside Washington. It will seek recruits for the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps and Coast Guard.
"We'll try it in a number of other high-traffic malls throughout the country," he said, without mentioning any specific places.
Rostker described the planned recruiting stations as "gee-whiz,
high-tech" offices, a departure from the military's usual approach of putting recruiters in low-rent, sometimes obscure areas with little pedestrian traffic.
"You look at our normal recruiting stations and ask, 'Why aren't they in high-traffic areas?' Rostker said. The reply he usually gets is that rents in such places are too high.
This new approach is part of a broader series of changes the Pentagon is making to strengthen its recruiting at a time when more high school graduates are going directly to college, rather than serving in the military first. The booming civilian economy also has made recruiting more difficult.
The military services are making more use of the Internet to get their recruiting message out, and the Air Force is making
more use of television advertising. The Pentagon has established an Internet site, called Today's Military, to provide information on military service, including educational benefits.
In this past budget year, which ended Sept. 30, each service met its recruiting goals — the first time in three years that all achieved their standard. In 1999, both the Army and the Air Force fell short, and in 1988 the Army and Navy fell short.
The recruiting effort has been helped during the past year by unexpected gains in retaining troops. That means fewer recruits are needed to fill the gaps. Despite the overall gains, the Air Force in particular is having trouble keeping enough pilots, despite offering bonuses.
"We cannot compete with the airlines on (financial) compensation." Rostker said.
U.S. companies work for share of Vietnamese business market
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — American business is hungry for a share of the Vietnam market, seeking to meet its demand for soft drinks, consumer products and high-tech telecommunications services and to gain a foothold in the massive rebuilding of a country heavily damaged by U.S. warplanes a quarter-century ago.
More than 50 U.S. corporations are sending executives to Vietnam during President Clinton's three-day visit. The list reads like a who's who of multinational concerns including Boeing, Citigroup, Coca-Cola, General Electric, General Motors, Cisco Systems, Nike and Procter & Gamble.
The companies either already have operations in Vietnam or want to get involved in a country they see as a vast unattended market of 78 million people, about the size of the population of Germany.
"This trip looks to the future as part of building a lasting relationship with an important country with vast potential," said Lionel Johnson, an executive of Citigroup. The giant banking corporation wants to expand its foothold in Vietnam — two branch banks limited to offering services to foreign companies in Hanoi and Ho Chi Minh City.
The business leaders, who are paying their own way, will hear from Clinton and other Cabinet officials during a business forum scheduled
for Ho Chi Minh City. The president also plans to tour a container-loading facility to emphasize the potential for trade between the two nations if Congress next year approves the trade deal his administration signed with Vietnam in July.
That agreement will grant Vietnam the same low U.S. tariffs enjoyed by virtually all other nations, although Vietnam's trade privileges will be subject to annual review by Congress. That was the same status China had for the past two decades before Congress this year granted it permanent normal trade relations.
The normal trade tariffs average around 3 percent, a sharp reduction from the 40 percent average border duty Vietnamese goods now face.

Bush still has lead after manual count; lawsuits waging on
The Associated Press
One week into America's election limbo, Florida counties officially reported their presidential votes after a Tuesday deadline was upheld by a state judge, even as thousands of disputed ballots were counted by hand into the night. Democrats rejected George W. Bush's potential compromise to cease the ballot-by-ballot fight for the White House.
"When is it going to end?" asked Bush aide James A. Baker III. There was no answer in sight.
With lawyers and judges front and center in the presidential election, nerves began to fray and adjectives failed to serve.
"When is it going to end?"
"It's like the seventh day of being held hostage," stammered Jeb Bush, governor of Florida and
James A. Baker III
aide to Republican candidate George W. Bush
harried brother of the GOP presidential hopeful. The latest margin for Bush was 286 votes, according to an informal AP tally.
Judge Terry Lewis ruled that counties could file new vote totals after the state's 5 p.m. Tuesday deadline to certify ballots. He gave Secretary of State Katherine Harris, a Bush supporter, authority to reject or approve them using "the proper exercise and discretion."
it was a setback for the vice president, who wanted a clear order lifting the Tuesday deadline, but his lawyers found solace in ruling language urging Harris to consider "all appropriate facts and circumstances."
Gore decided to hold off an appeal and press forward with recounts in four Democratic-leaving counties. He hopes Harris will approve the hand-counted ballots and is prepared to appeal if she does not.
"If the secretary of state arbitrarily refuses to accept the amended returns based on the recount and violates what this court has ruled ... which is to accept those results unless she has good reason not to, then we will be back in court," said a new member of Gore's massive legal team, David Boles.
The race tumbled to the courts after a statewide machine recount trimmed Bush's lead from 1,784 votes to 388, prompting Gore to push for painstaking manual recounts and Bush to fight them in courts of law and public opinion.
Shoving matches and shouting fits punctuated the action inside and outside Florida's courtrooms. Jeb Bush said things were getting "nerveracking" throughout his state.
"Ican't even walk around outside now," he said at a town hall meeting 60 miles northwest of Tallahassee.
With the razor-thin lead in ballots counted so far, Baker said presidential candidate Bush would accept the results of manual recounts collected by close of business Tuesday and the overseas absentee ballots due in Friday. Both sides would also drop their dueling lawsuits, Baker said.
Fed not expected to increase interest rates
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The Federal Reserve will almost certainly remain on the sidelines today in its battle against inflation, given the jitters on Wall Street about the unresolved presidential election, analysts said.
Some economists did not rule out the possibility that the central bank could be forced down the road to start cutting interest rates if the election uncertainty escalates into bigger problems.
The longer this election stays unsettled, the more likely we are to get volatile financial markets, including a weaker dollar," said David Jones, chief economist at Aubrey G. Lanston & Co., a New York bond firm.
Jones said if the U.S. currency starts falling it could trigger a rush for the exits by foreign investors, pushing U.S. stocks and bond prices down sharply.
In that event, he said, the central bank would feel compelled to ride to the rescue, as
it did in the fall of 1998 during the height of the global financial crisis, with interest rate cuts to calm market concerns.
Unless there are some dramatic developments in financial markets, Jones and other analysts said they expected Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan and his colleagues to leave interest rates unchanged until next spring.
"Barring any dramatic financial market seizure, the Fed will be on hold for another six months," said Richard Yamarone, an economist at Argus Research Corp.
These analysts believe, based on statements from various Fed policy-makers, that the central bank thinks it is close to achieving its hoped-for soft landing, in which the sizzling economy slows to a more sustainable pace that will keep inflation under control.
Wall Street, which hates uncertainty, has been unsettled by the election stalemate, which has come on top of a string of weaker-than-expected earnings reports by a number
ON THE NET
Federal Reserve: http://www.federalreserve.gov
of major corporations.
U. S. companies are having trouble making their sales goals as overall economic growth slows under the weight of previous interest rate hikes by the Fed.
The government offered more evidence of a slowdown yesterday with a report showing that retail sales rose by just 0.1 percent in October as overall activity was held back by a big drop in auto sales.
A minority of economists believe the Fed may have overdone its rate increases, raising the prospect of not a soft landing but an outright recession next year. These analysts are concerned that the big jump in energy prices will make inflation worse while the sell-off in the stock market will trigger a sharp cutback in consumer spending.
Kenyans may have contracted Ebola
The Associated Press
KAMALPA, Uganda — Health officials trying to contain an outbreak of Ebola said yesterday that a group of people from neighboring Kenya may have come into contact with the deadly virus at funerals in Uganda.
The seven Kenyans were among 150 people Ugandan authorities believe may have come into contact with Ebola at funerals for three victims of the disease in central Uganda, said Dr. Samuel Okware, head of Uganda's task force on Ebola.
Health officials are trying to track the outbreak, which has killed 110 people in Uganda since it was first identified in mid-October.
The Kenyan Health Ministry said it was notified Monday about the seven, and that they had been traced and quarantined in their homes. They have shown no signs of Ebola, but will be monitored for 42 days before they are declared free of infection, the ministry said in a statement yesterday.
The statement also said that more than 20,000 people crossing the Kenyan-Ugandan border had been screened since the Ebola outbreak was discovered, and no cases of the virus had been found.
Experts from the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the World Health Organization, Doctors Without Borders as well as health ministry officials were investigating whether the disease had spread to other points.
The fever caused by the Ebola virus is transmitted through body fluids. The disease can cause severe hemorrhagic fever and is often fatal.
Health Ministry officials said Monday that 323 cases of Ebola have been recorded and that 191 people have recovered.
There is no cure for Ebola, but patients aggressively treated with reverse dehydration have a good chance of survival.
Violence breaks out in Egypt
The Associated Press
EL-AMAR, Egypt — Police fired live ammunition and pummeled opposition supporters with batons and tear gas in clashes yesterday that left five people dead and 40 injured during the final round of parliamentary voting.
In the Nile Delta village of El-Amar, 20 miles north of Cairo, fighting erupted when supporters of an independent candidate broke down the doors of polling stations after they were not allowed to enter to vote, according to residents and police speaking on condition of anonymity. Four people were killed and five injured there.
Hundreds of voters in Shubra El Kheima, in northern Cairo, also clashed with police yesterday when polls did not open on time. Police,
some on horseback, fired into the crowd after attacking the protesters with batons, dogs and tear gas. That clash left one dead and 35 people — including children — injured.
Police also blocked polling stations and fired tear gas at would-be voters in the southern Cairo district of Maadi. In Hawamydiwa, another district south of Cairo, police detained 75 people for election-related disturbances, according to the police officials.
Many of those who have complained about a lack of access to polls and police harassment were supporters of the outlawed Muslim Brotherhood, whose candidates are running as independents.
The Brotherhood calls for turning Egypt into an Islamic state, but unlike more radical Islamic groups, has forsworn violence to achieve that end.

Court confirms fund belongs to Watkins Hall
Bv Jason Krall
By Jason Krall writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The Kansas Court of Appeals has denied an appeal by the University of Kansas and Bank of America on a ruling declaring the women of Watkins Scholarship Hall beneficiaries of a trust fund for hall improvements. That clears the way for an order that the women gain access to the fund's accounting records.
the women filed suit in February demanding the bank disclose information about how the fund has been invested that could reveal why the fund's annual interest return has declined steadily from about $200,000 in 1984 to $84,000 last year. Meanwhile, the fund's principal has grown from $1.8 million 15 years ago to $3.5 million in 1999.
The trust is designated for improvements at Watkins and Miller scholarship halls, said David Brown, attorney for the women.
"For us, this is a victory, and I'm hoping that this will mean that the court will finally get to hear the evidence in this case," Brown said. "The bank and the University have done nothing but try to prevent the court from hearing the real evidence in this matter."
Though the case still is pending in Douglas County District Court, the bank and the University were able to file a special appeal on Judge Jack Murphy's decision to declare the women beneficiaries.
The bank and the University now have 30 days to appeal the appellate decision to the Kansas Supreme Court. If they don't, or if that appeal fails, hearings will take place to determine exactly which records must be disclosed. Brown said.
Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said that University general counsel had not received the ruling yesterday and that she was unable to comment on how the University might proceed.
"We've been confident all along that the trust has been managed appropriately," Bretz said. "We're working to get this resolved."
Though the women sued only Bank of America, the University, acting as beneficially of the trust, moved to be included in the suit to defend the accounting records.
Brown said the two halls needed a number of improvements, including the addition of central airconditioning systems.

What happened? The Kansas Court of Appeals denied a motion by the University and Bank of America on a ruling that declared the women of Waikimis Scholarship Hall beneficiates of a trust fund for hall improvements.
What it means: The women will proceed with their court battle to obtain access to the fund's accounting records.
What's next? The University and the bank have 30 days to appeal the decision to the Kansas Supreme Court.
Housing rates to jump in fall
By Jason Kraill
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Residence hall rates could see its largest one-year increase next fall as student housing rates increase across the board.
The Board of Regents is considering a proposal to raise the price of a double occupancy room with a 19-meal plan from $4,114 to $4,348—a $234 increase.
Jayhawker Towers rates would increase by $118.
One-bedroom apartments at Stouffer Place would cost $239 a month, $5 more than this year.
The addition of cable television and central air conditioning in K.K. Amini and Margaret Amini scholarship halls is expected to drive its rates up to $3,034—a $240 rate hike. Miller and Watkins scholarship halls will see a $38 increase, while the six other scholarship hall rates will have up $184 to $2,978.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said rising costs of electricity and natural gas caused the increase. Improvements to computer networks in residence halls, the Towers and scholarship halls, and the addition of caller ID also are covered by the increase.
The cost of a double-occupancy room with 19 meals per week increased $173 this fall, $109 in the fall of 1989 and by $96 in each of the two previous years. Since Fall 2005, the cost increased $474 and could lump $234 more next year.
The Board of Regents is reviewing the proposal at its meeting this week in Goodland. The plan will go for final approval in December. The KU Student Housing Advisory Board (SHAB) recommended the increase unanimously in October.
stoner said the College Board, based in New York,
released a study showing that KU students in double-

Hard to swallow
The University guzzles about $800,000 a year through its contract with Coke — but that money directly benefits only a few students
By Jason Krall Kansan staff writer
Erica Rahn drops four quarters into a rumbling Coke machine in the basement of Wescoe Hall.
It's a daily ritual for Rahn. She usually buys a Dasani, The Coca-Cola Company's brand of bottled water. If those are sold out, the Topeka junior gets a regular Coke instead.
The University reimburses the stu
Of each dollar fed into Coke machines daily by Rahn and 26,000 KU students, the University of Kansas gets 55 cents and Coke 45 cents.
The University's revenue from the deal — this year, $760,000 — is partially used to reimburse campus entities that formerly handled their own vending services for lost profits. They include the Kansas University Memorial Corp., which operates the Kansas and Burge unions, as well as the University of Kansas Athletics Corp., the Department of Student Housing and the Edwards Campus.
For each dollar funneled back to students from the contract, 50 cents go toward scholarships for about 350 National Merit Scholars and 38 cents go toward scholarships for about 170 children of KU faculty and staff. That leaves only 12 cents from each dollar for student clubs, organizations, programs and events benefiting all 26,000 students.
Since University officials signed an exclusive contract for soft drink vending on campus with Coke three years ago, some students and faculty have criticized the deal. They say the University's cut of sales benefits too few students and students deserve a stronger voice in how the money is used. Others complain that the contract creates a soda monopoly.
Some faculty say a long-term relationship with an influential corporation limits intellectual freedom. Students resent paying for football and basketball tickets for Coke executives with their quarters. Others would simply rather have a Pepsi. But unquestionably, the deal provides additional cash for the University and represents a growing trend toward commercialization at universities nationwide.
The University's cut
dent unions $137,000 per year The Athletic Corporation gets $241,000 annually from the deal, said Theresa Klinkenberg, the director of administration who supervises the Coke deal
The remainder of the money — almost $400,000 — is split between scholarships for National Merit Scholars and children of faculty and staff, with a smaller portion left for student programming.
Students who are dependents of KU employees receive $1,000 renewable Coke scholarships in their freshman year with funds from the deal — an annual total of about $150,000.
"Employee dependent scholarships are something we've always wanted to do but never had a funding source for." Klinkenberg said.
KU's National Merit Scholars receive about $200,000 each year in Coke cash — about 10 percent of KU's scholarship money for National Merit Scholars, she said.
The remaining $50,000 is divided among student organizations, programs and events such as guest speakers.
"We didn't want to permanently fund anything," Klinkenberg said. "We wanted this money to be as flexible as possible."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway said using the money to support merit scholars raised academic standards and the prestige of the University, which benefited every student.
"I think more of it should go to benefit more students, not just National
Coke customers such as Rahn expressed surprise that so much Coke money went toward scholarships for so few students. Rahn said the money should be used to buy new computers or replace aging KU on Wheels buses.

"To say that this money doesn't benefit you because you didn't get a scholarship I think is a very short-sighted view." Hemenway said. "Recruiting National Merit Scholars is something that good universities do because they know that academically talented students will be a stimulus for the reputation of the University. I don't know how you build an academically challenging university if you don't recruit those students."

Michael Coggins is one of the staff members' children whose scholarship was financed by quarters dropped into campus Coke machines.
Coggins, Lawrence freshman and son of George Coggins, professor of law, is a Coke Merit Scholarship recipient. Michael Coggins said that although he supported the use of the money for scholarships for children of faculty and staff, he would like to see it used for more general scholarships as well.
"If more money came in — unless there's a faction of the student body that's not being represented in the scholarship pool — I think it should go more towards student programs, or toward Watkins Health Center and their expansion," Coggins said.

Dividing the funds
The KU/Coca-Cola University Program Support Subcommittee, which works under the Coke Partnership Council that oversees the deal, allocates about $50,000 a year in vending sales for student programs and organizations.
The subcommittee includes Ann Eversole, interim dean of students; Danny Kaiser, director of the Student Organization and Leadership Development Center; Kathryn Tuttle, director of the Freshman-Sophomore Advising Center; and one student representative, Marlon Marshall, student body vice president.

Student injured in one-car accident
A KU student was listed in serious condition yesterday after she lost control of her car on Kansas Highway 10 near Eudora.
Douglas County Sheriff's Lt. Don Crowse said Emily Schute, Olathe senior, was taken by helicopter to the University of Kansas Medical Center after her 1998 Pontiac Sunfire rolled several times in the 11:30 a.m. accident.
Crowe said a gust of wind likely caught Schutte's car as she came off the Wakarusa bridge.
"She lost control and overcorrected," Crowe said. "The car flipped about four times."
John Stratton, witness to the accident and director of KU's Edwards Campus library, said he and the semitrailer driver behind him both stopped at the scene. The truck driver called 911, and the two ran to Schutte's car. Stratton said Schutte was conscious;
"She was very frightened, as were we," Stratton said.
She was very tight-knit, as were the students. The first person to arrive on the scene was an emergency medical technician from Eudora, Stratton said. The EMT questioned Schultz to see if she knew her name, address, what day of the week it was and where she was. Stratton said she answered the questions.
"It happened so quickly; it was mindboggling." Stratton said.

Flu shots are available for high-risk persons
Watkins Memorial Health Center will start distributing flu shots today to people who are at high risk.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins, said high risk people included people 65 years or older, people with heart or lung disease, asthma diabetes, liver disease, people infected with HIV or AIDS, pregnant women in their second or third trimester and individuals who are around high-risk persons.
Rock advised that only high-risk persons get the shot. Watkins is low on its supply because of a nation-wide shortage. Rock encourages those who qualify for the shot to use flu shot clinic times to limit wait. Clinic times are from 2 to 4 p.m. Tuesday and Thursday and from 4 to 6 p.m. Wednesday at Watkins.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Health Department is offering flu immunization clinics from 10 to 11 a.m. tomorrow at the senior center in Baldwin and from 1:30 to 3 p.m. at Babcock Place. They will also offer a clinic from 2 to 4:30 p.m. Thursday at the Health Department.

Ex-commando to speak about neo-Nazi missions
An ex-Iraeli command who infiltrated the German neo-Nazi movement in the early 1990s will speak at 8 p.m. tonight at the Kansas Union ballroom in the Kansas Union.
Yaron Svoray, a son of holocaust survivors, traveled in Germany in 1992 and documented with hidden cameras and recording devices the reality of the German neo-Nazi movements, from the neo-Nazi leadership to the vast network of middle-class citizens who supported the Nazi agenda.
As a result of Svoray's investigations, federal authorities in Germany upgraded their monitoring and infiltrating of extremist groups.
Svoray's lecture, which is sponsored by SUA, Student Senate and KU Hillel, is free and open to the public. Students can pick up vouchers today at the SUA box office in the Kansas Union.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The cost has risen and the plans have been scaled back, but the expansion planned for the Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art will make the facility one of the most distinctive in the world, according to the people involved in the project.
50 percent larger. The expansion is expected to be completed by 2005.
Yesterday, architect Steven Holl unveiled details of the "glowing-lantern" concept that last year won him the job of designing an addition that will make the Nelson more than
Nelson-Atkins addition detailed by architect
The estimated cost of the project has risen from $80 million to $95 million, but the Nelson's capital fund-raising campaign has exceeded its initial target and is fast approaching $200 million.
Holl's plans include five frosted-glass structures, which will sit atop more than 140,000 square feet of new exhibition halls and other areas on the east side of the Nelson. He said the structures would enhance and respect the original 1933 building and the surrounding landscape.
Even the two-level underground parking garage, illuminated partly through a topside reflecting pool, will announce itself boldly, he said.
College student admits to voting fraud fib
MILWAUKEE — A college student who said on national television that he voted four times on Election Day has admitted that he lied.
The 18-Year-old Marquette University freshman from Hudson, Wis., told ABC News' "World News Tonight with Peter Jennings" on Monday that he filled out four separate ballots using his own name.
The student appeared on local television along with his lawyer Laura Arbuckle, who read a statement Wednesday acknowledging that he had lied and retracting his original statement. The student did not speak or identify himself, and Arbuckle would not identify him.
The Marquette Tribune, Marquette University's student newspaper, surveyed 1,000 students and said it found that 174 admitted voting more than once. Under Wisconsin law, deliberate double-voting is punishable by up to four and a half years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
Police officers convicted suspended for conspiracy
LOS ANGELES — Three officers accused of framing gang members were convicted of conspiracy and other crimes Wednesday in the first trial resulting from the biggest police corruption scandal in Los Angeles history.
After weighing testimony from a parade of gang members and police officers, the Superior Court jury found Sgts. Brian Liddy and Edward Ortiz and Officer Michael Buchanan guilty. A fourth officer, Paul Harper, was acquitted of all charges.
All four officers were suspended after their arrests. The convicted officers face one to four years in prison at sentencing Jan. 16, though defense attorneys said they will appeal.
The four men were accused of wrongdoing in three cases between 1996 and 1998.

Center assists with English
By Jason Elliott Special to the Kansan
Tomoko Nonoyama said learning English made her want to vomit, but not because she was sick.
"Pronunciation is very different," she said. "In Japanese, we use our lips to talk, and in English, you use your throat and nose. It made me feel like I was going to throw up the first time I tried to speak English."
Nonoyama was one of about 100 Applied English Center students who attended a party yesterday in the Kansas Union to celebrate the near-completion of their classes at the center. In the past, the event coincided with the actual end of the center's semester — the same time KU classes began finals — but it was scheduled earlier this semester.
"We moved it back to help students calm down at the end of the semester," said Tracy Cohn, special programs assistant for the center.
Students at the celebration were relieved that the semester was almost complete and that they had survived another semester of English. While some
students thought the language was difficult to grasp, others said English was easy compared to other languages.
"I took French for seven years, and now I am speaking English after only three months," said Ahmed Akanou, AEC student from Morocco.
All students from non-English-speaking backgrounds must complete Applied English Center courses, which should improve their English speaking and comprehension skills, before taking other KU classes.
Mallika Well, a center instructor, said the language was easy to communicate, but students had problems with grammar because there were so many words.
"English is much easier to learn in America because we have to speak it all the time," she said.

Though some students said they thought English was difficult, Young Hee Lim, an AEC student from Korea, said it had been easier to learn since she came to the United States.

Lawrence gets singled out
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer.
Looking for love in all the wrong places? Well, you don't have to look far to find other singles in Lawrence, according to Money magazine.
The personal finance publication ranked Lawrence fourth in the category of "most single people" in its 14th annual ranking of livable cities. In the singles ranking, Lawrence trailed Bryant-College Station, Texas; Gainesville, Fla.; and Bloomington, Ind.
Money named Portland, Ore., as the most livable city in the country, drawing on information such as education, commute time and entertainment options.
KU students had mixed reactions to the ranking.
Stephanie Mehring, Overland Park
junior, said she wasn't single, and she thought big cities would be a better place to be single.
"You just have one type of person here," she said. "I guess it just depends on what you're looking for."
Ryan Haga, Tulsa, Okla., graduate student, said there were plenty of things to do in Lawrence. As a student, however, Haga said it was difficult to find time to go out and meet people.
"As far as meeting people to go out with, I meet more at work than at KU," he said.
Mary Kellerman, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, said she didn't mind being single because it was easy to meet people at parties and on campus.
"It's a college town, and you've got a huge concentration of single people," she said.
Adrienne Smith, Ellinwood senior, said Lawrence wasn't the greatest place for singles. Smith, who is single, said the ranking
meant more for outsiders looking at Lawrence than for the people who live here.
"There's really not that much to do," she said. "And people don't tend to be overly friendly and willing to approach others if they are interested in dating someone."
McSweeney, who is not single, said the University and its students contributed to the mix of people and things to do.
"Lawrence just has an energy to it that makes people want to get out and do things and meet people," he said.
But Darren McSweeney, Wichita junior, said he thought the music scene, bars, parties and the ease of meeting other students made this a great town for singles.
"People here are really laid back and interesting to be around," he said. "If you can't meet someone in Lawrence, you've got a problem."

Students design display jewelry with dream theme
By Jennifer Valadez
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students in Matti Mattsson's advanced metals class have been learning the importance of maintaining balance.
This fall, Mattsson, a visiting instructor in the art of metalsmithing and making jewelry, has been instructing the class of seven seniors on designing boats. The boats and some student-designed jewelry will be part of a critique at 5 p.m. today at Potter Lake.
"I chose boats because they need to be balanced, and the water critique will prove that," said Mattsson, who is from Finland. "If it's wrong for the water, it's wrong for the person who will be wearing the jewelry."
"My designs are based on the stars and the moon — the night sky," said Cord Criss, Prairie Village senior.
Along with designing the boats for the critique, students also have designed jewelry that has a different theme.
Students will travel to Eutin, Germany, Lawrence's sister city, and display their jewelry designs in an exhibition Nov. 24-26.
Criss said the inspiration for his designs came from his dreams. He said he started thinking about his dreams in conjunction with the theme of the exhibition in Germany, which is "Dreams and Poems."
"I started thinking of dreams I had had that were vivid and inspiring," he said. "I just thought about floating up into the sky and what that symbolizes."
Courtney Starrett, Overland Park senior, said the brooch, pendant and ring she designed were based on the design of carnivorous plants.
"I took that from the shapes and curves of the plants as well as dreams," she said. "They were in my dreams, so I researched them and got the designs from that."
Both Criss and Starrett said they had enjoyed the experience.
"It's been really good because his perspective of the world is a lot different than ours because he's from a different country." Criss said. "In terms of being a professional in jewelry, he brings a lot because he's had a lot of experience and that's been really invaluable."
"It's been wonderful to have outside input and a different way of teaching," she said. "It's really interesting to have someone from a different country. It's been a good mind-expanding experience to look at things differently than we usually do here."
Starrett said she also appreciated the unique perspective Mattsson brought to the class.
"We have been working a lot to go to Germany, and I hope they will be able to sell their work there," he said. "What's most important is to go through this process and the critique. Germany is a good place because they have a history in metalsmith jewelry, so they'll know what good work is."
Mattsson said he hoped the students would gain valuable experience through both the critique and the trip to Germany.

The crammed weight room in Robinson Gymnasium soon will be relieved by a spacious recreation center.
"Senate's had a huge impact," Marshall said. "A recreation task force was created through Student Senate that dealt with issues about the rec center. It looked at how students felt about Robinson, and we found out there were indeed some problems."

But Simpson said the fee increase and new recreation center had a-negative effect on students, too.
"The that fee increase came right before a set of tuition increases, and I think it hurt our credibility going to the statehouse," Simpson said. "Several legislators told me it was hypocritical that we were decrying a dollar increase in tuition rates when we had increased our own fees $49."

The group registered as a student organization last week but has participated in regional and national competitions for 26 years. The team — made up of mostly of engineering students — design, build and race concrete canoes.*
Jennifer Jones, St. Louis senior and team member, said the group had sought its funding from corporate and private sponsors. Covering the rising cost of materials has led to poorer contest performances, she said.

SENATE
The Concrete Canoe Club kept its hopes for Student Senate funding afloat after two Senate committees passed a bill to allocate it money last night.
The original bill for $7,535 was approved by the University Affairs Committee, but the Finance Committee reduced
"If we get this funding and do well this year, it's something we can take back to these corporations," Jones said. "Corporations will be more likely to sponsor us in the future."
Ben Burton, Finance Committee member, said he wasn't against the group, but he didn't think it should be granted Senate money because it was geared toward engineering students. He said their work was "an academic project," and their request was "creative labeling and creative accounting."
But Olivia Stockman, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator and co-sponsor of the bill,
said even though the team used concepts engineering students learned, participation was voluntary, and the students did not receive academic credit.
To be enacted, the bill must be approved by Senate at its 6:30 p.m. meeting Wednesday, Nov. 29 at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union. In other business:
The Student Rights and University Affairs committees approved a bill forgiving a $140,000 loan Senate granted to KU on Wheels in 1986 to cover a budget shortfall. If Senate passes the bill, KU on Wheels would not have to repay the loan to the Senate reserve account and could keep its money in its own interest-earning reserve account.
The Student Rights and University Affairs committees approved a bill requiring senators to attend at least one meeting of their constituents a month. Appointed senators of groups such as Black Student Union and the Association of University Residence Halls would be exempt from the rule because they already attend regular meetings.
The University Affairs committee voted against a resolution requesting Lawrence to repeal its ordinance outlawing skating and skateboarding on Jayhawk Boulevard. The Student Rights Committee approved the bill, but it will not go to Senate because it was not passed by two committees.
The Finance Committee approved a bill increasing the student health fee by $6 to $92 starting next year. The bill must be approved by Senate Nov. 29 before it can be put into effect.
The Finance Committee approved a bill to grant the Black Student Union $5,230 to cover expenses for the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government.

Decision 2000 adds quirky election twists
What is it about Florida? The panicked bellows of punts aside, this is not a first in our history. More than a hundred years ago, Republican Rutherford Hayes and Democrat Sam Tilden played out this very same scenario — Tilden won the popular vote, but Hayes won the electoral college ... because of ballot irregularities in the Sunshine State.
He went on to be nicknamed Rutherfraud and was a dismal, forgotten, one-term failure of a president. Bush and Gore, take note.
This time around, Florida has birthed more incredible sights and stretching of already-abused truth than it did before. Such as ...
The Bush campaign saying with a straight face that the elderly Jewish enclave
of West Palm Beach was a "Pat Buchanan Stronghold." This is akin to calling Mad Dog, Texas, a "Ralph Nader Stronghold."
The Gore campaign sending a Chicago Daley to protest ballot irregularities. It makes sense in a way, I suppose; the late Mayor Daley probably knew more about vote fraud, ballot-rigging and election irregularities than anyone else on the planet. Practice, after all, makes perfect.

— that is, with more than one vote for president — and not those that were undervoted, which means there was no vote at all. The total of under-and-over votes this year is roughly 30,000. The total in 1996 was, as the Shrubster said, 14,872.
The Bush campaign's very own fuzzy math. The number of ballots disqualified in 1996 was 14,872, they say, so those 19,000 shot down this time is perfectly normal. They neglect to mention that the 19,000 count is only for those that were overvoted
Of similar number warpings is the claim that Buchanan did well in Palm Beach in '96. They neglect to mention that this was in the Republican primary, not a general election, and that he in fact did poorly compared with his performance in the rest of the nation.
The Democrats suddenly becoming avid supporters of states' rights, hypocritically insisting that the federal courts have no jurisdiction over a state election — despite the fact that this runs counter to their entire philosophy.
The Republicans suddenly becoming avid opponents of states' rights, hypocritically insisting that the federal courts have full jurisdiction over a state election — despite the fact that this runs counter to their entire philosophy.
Jesse Jackson and supporters chanting "Stay out of the Bushes!" while trempling the shrubs outside the Paim Beach courthouse.
- King George the Second and his coronation antics, doing everything in his power to enrage the Democrats while loudly proclaiming himself a uniter. Folks, whoever wins this election won't be able to unite a pair of lego bricks, let alone the congress.
The myriad forms of lawyers and lawyers, spawned by both sides. The Gore Squad says they might sue. NO LAWYERS! scream the Shrubites, keep this out of the courts ... oh, wait, we’re going to sue in federal court. NO LAWYERS! scream the Goreys ... but yes, there are lawyers — superlawyers, too, such as Action-Barrister L. Tribe and Elian-Cuddalin Kendall Coffey.
■ The fact that even a lobotomized baboon could get confused by one of these things! I mean, arrow, hole: what's the problem?
The fact that it's been so big a problem in the past that Massachusetts banned them in '96. Whoops.

The fact that reasonably intelligent people were misled and confused by a now-infamous butterfly ballot.

Perspective
Vote trading reveals Electoral College flaws
If this country wasn't operating on systems implemented in the 18th century, voters would not have to deal with the Secretary of State in Kansas taking legal action against voters for trying to get the candidate we want to vote for into office.
On November 2, 2000, the Kansan ran an article about the vote-trading sites on the Internet. The fact of the matter is, if the electoral college was not in effect, we would not have this problem.
Many voters are looking to choose the lesser of the two evils. In states such as Kansas, my vote actually does not matter. Although I may vote for Al Gore, the Electoral College will register my vote as a vote for George W. Bush.
This system was set into place in a time during which the federal government was convinced that the general public did not have the intelligence to choose the
Americans have proven that they are smarter than the government believes by constructing Web sites to beat the system. If the system can be beat, it is obviously not one that should be standing.

Thanks to the Electoral College in the United States, popular vote has little to do with who becomes our president. No matter whom I vote for this year, my vote will essentially count as my state's votes for Bush.
best candidate. Today, this system is simply wrong
Kansas, a predominately Republican state, will cast all its electoral votes for the Republican candidate because he will win
the popular vote in this state. Based on the system, this is fair. However, this system makes my vote essentially a wasted vote.
Therefore, the Electoral College is not an accurate reflection of the popular vote. For example, a candidate could lose the popular vote in a state by only one vote and receive no electoral votes from that state.
The Electoral College system dictates that an elector may cast his or her vote for whichever candidate he or she prefers. Traditionally, the candidate who wins the popular vote in a state receives all the electoral votes from that state.
The Web sites constructed to allow citizens to trade their votes may be illegal and a shame to our system, but it does prove one thing. It proves that American citizens are, in fact, smart enough to vote for the president and have their vote count.
The United States needs to realize the average citizen is important enough to have his or her individual vote count. If I vote for Nader, my vote will help him to get campaign funding. If I vote for Bush, I will simply ensure his victory in Kansas. If I vote for Gore, my vote really has no effect.
For some reason, the federal government gives states the power to make a crucial decision. However, the citizens of the United States should be viewed as individuals, not simply as residents of a state. The Electoral College is doing nothing more than grouping United States citizens into specific categories based on where they to live.
Vote trading on the Internet may be unconstitutional. It may be a shame to the system that our forefathers constructed more than 200 years ago. But vote trading simply proves that the system needs to be changed.

Editorial
Students need parking on game days
University should provide parking for students who want to study during games.
On basketball game days, parking spaces become hard to come by, and the availability of spaces reaches as far away as past the Kansas Union. On those nights, students and faculty going to Watson Library or late classes get frustrated when trying to find a parking space.
Therefore, the University should accommodate this problem on game days by reserving a parking lot that students studying on those days can use. People have complained about this problem for a long time. All the parking department needs to do is find a solution.
The best place to reserve a parking lot would be behind Fraser and Blake halls. This location is close to Watson Library and the Kansas Union.
The parking department could easily post a sign at the intersection between Danforth Chapel and Fraser Hall saying something such as, "Reserved for Library Users" or "Basketball Parking Prohibited."
Nevertheless, the inevitable problem of enforcement arises. The easiest method would be for basketball fans to respect those studying and find some other place to park. If fans, out of simple consideration, parked somewhere other than that lot, it would be the easiest way to solve this minor problem.
Jayhawk basketball games are some of the most exciting events at the University of Kansas, and they bring the some of the best fans in the United States to Allen Fieldhouse. However, if 40 carloads of fans parked a little farther away on game day, it would be a lot easier for 40 students to have reasonable access to the library.
In respect to both fans and students, this reasonable plan would ease many people's parking frustrations on game days.

Hard to swallow
Hard to swallow
Coke cash pours into few pockets
Other schools distribute funds to more students
Many universities around the country have entered into long-term deals with one of the nation's two major soft drink companies. Other Big 12 schools use the money from such deals to benefit a broader range of students than the University of Kansas.
Kansas State University has a 10-year contract worth $13 million with Pepsi-Co. Co. for exclusive sale of Pepsi products. The student union administration has been responsible for overseeing the use of the university's money from the contract.
By the end of the agreement, about $5 million will have gone into an endowment for university libraries, said Tom Schellhardt, associate vice president for administration and finance at Kansas State. About $4 million will be used to reimburse departments for their lost vending profits, and about $3 million is designated for improvements to residence halls and student proacms. Schellhardt said.
Twenty-ounce bottles of Pepsi cost $1 there.
Other Big 12 Conference universities that have crafted similar deals have also dolt out soft drink revenue toward scholarships aiding a broad range of students. At the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, about $250,000 goes into a pool for general scholarships. Nebraska is three years into a 12-year exclusive contract with Pepsi.
Nebraska received $13 million up front in the deal, and takes in another $1.1 million annually. The bulk of the university's profits support a program funding undergraduate science research, giving more undergraduates the opportunity to conduct research, said James Main, assistant vice chancellor for business and finance at Nebraska.
Like KU, Nebraska spends about $50,000 from its soft drink contract each year on student events and programs.
Main said Nebraska switched from Coke three years ago hoping to increase revenue with sales of Mountain Dew, a Pepsi product popular enough with young people that it has become the country's No. 3 soft drink. The yellow beverage accounts for 53 percent of all sales of Pepsi products on the Lincoln campus.
"We were afraid that if we chose Coke, we would have had to lose a lot of business from people who drink Mountain Dew," Main said. Chuck Connelly, senior vice president at Pepsi-Cola Co. in Chicago, said exclusive vending contracts with universities weren't new, but were being signed for more money and longer time periods within the last few years.
"If you look at the economics of the soft drink business, the profit margin on sodas sold through vending machines is significantly higher than the profit margin on what we sell through a supermarket," Connelly said. "So what we've been doing is a major investment in vending machines. That has probably been a important factor driving our going out for contracts with universities."
Coke money flows from many sources
The University of Kansas' deal with Coca-Cola is worth about $12.8 million over 10 years.
Under the contract, the University receives a 55 percent commission on sales of Coca-Cola products from campus vending machines. When KU signed the contract in 1997, Coca-Cola paid an advance of $7 million on that commission. By the end of the ten-year contract, the University is guaranteed another $1 million. A $450,000 payment each year from Coke will total $4.5 million by the end of the contract, and commissions from Treat America, the University's snack vendor under the contract, will come to about $300,000 by the end of the contract.
Of the initial $7 million payment, the University gave $5,750,000 to the Endowment Association, which has invested it for an annual return of about $280,000. The remainder of the up-front payment, $1,250,000, was used for the 1997-98 school year's costs related to scholarships, student programs and reium-bursements to campus departments for their lost profits.
That means the Coke cash available for the University to spend each year includes the $480,000 annual payments from Coke and vending company Treat America, plus annual earnings from the $5.75 million invested by the Endowment Association — this year $280,000. Under the contract the University can actually earn more money if Coke sales exceed projections.
The money also went for new recycling bins and two new recycling trucks, and about $500,000 remains left over to help cover scholarship and reimbursement costs in years when interest and Coke's payments come up short.
This hasn't yet happened.
Continued from page 1A
rumblings in Student Senate this fall after it raised the price of bottles of Coke products from 85 cents to $1. The council approved the increase last summer, without student feedback. Student Senate in September petitioned for student representation on the council
Marshall became the only student representative on the partnership council in October.
"We weren't here when KU and Coke made this partnership," Marshall said. "There are 26,000 students here. We need something to make sure that this money will benefit all students. We need to look at it and say, 'Who is this really benefiting?'"
Groups and events that got money last year included the Student Organizations and Leadership Center, which received $6,200 to hold two student leadership workshops, $3,000 to support majors fairs and $2,500 for Black History Month events.
One provision of the Coke deal requires University employees to be "cola cops," making sure that groups meeting on campus don't serve Pepsi or other competing beverages.
Irad Ordina, Pomona, Calif., senior, said that when he was president of the Hispanic American Leadership Organization last year, he was told that only Coke products could be served at HALO events on campus.
"They told us if any drinks were to be distributed, it would have to be a Coke product," said Orduna, whose group was denied Coke funding for a conference of Hispanic student groups from other universities.
David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge Unions, said student groups wanting to hold meetings in the unions are required to use Union catering services for their refreshments, which prevents them from serving non-Coke soft drinks or off-campus food.
"Whether it were cola or a grapefruit, it would be an issue," Mucci said.
Total soft drink sales have been stable since the deal took effect. After taking in $712,720 in the 1997-98 school year, revenue from campus vending machines peaked at $728,388 the following year and then dipped to $705,430 the next year.
A vendina monopoly
Mark Hirschey, professor of business, said the contract creates a monopoly on campus that eliminates free-market competition.
"Obviously it's a method for the University to extract greater revenue from students," Hirchsey said. "The University is having a tough time at the legislature, so they're looking for other ways to make money."
Paul Johnson, associate professor of political science, said that the University was taxing all students who bought soft drinks on campus to benefit a small portion of the student body.
"It might make more sense if you just tax the students directly," he said. "If the goal is to raise money for scholarships, why not just charge $5 a head and use that for the scholarships?"
A vending monopoly on campus limits freedoms at the University beyond the simple right to choose a cold drink, said David Katzman, professor of American studies and a vocal critic of the University's relationship with Coca-Cola.
Like any type of education funding from the private sector, the money has the potential to compromise intellectual freedom, influencing everything from research outcomes to University policy. Katzman said.
"We have this idea that the University should be insulated from all kinds of political pressure — an ideal pursuit of truth and knowledge," Katzman said. "If I'm worried about something like a Coke contract, I might censor myself."
Tim Miller, professor of religious studies, has also been critical of the deal. He said the contract had contributed to the crass commercialization of the KU campus.
"It sends the message that the University is for sale," Miller said. "It would be one thing to accept contributions from Coke, but it's quite another to craft it as a business deal."
The deal also gives Coca-Cola free rein to turn the fronts of soda machines into large, lighted Coke ads all over campus. he said.
"I don't see the benefits. For the administration to tout that as free money, it's not. It's coming from the pockets of students on campus who are paying a dollar for a Coke."
"We used to have soft drink signs that were a little more inconspicuous," Miller said. "Now you have a big billboard of a bottle of Coke on every one. It's a huge intrusion."
Students' quarters also pay for a number of perks for executives and employees of the Coca-Cola Company, including basketball tickets. Each season, the company receives 20 season tickets for men's basketball games, said Pat Warren, associate athletics director. The tickets include four lower-level, six upper-level and 10 general admission seats.
Coke also gets 50 single-game general admission tickets and six season passes passes for men's basketball and admission for Coke employees and guests to the posh Naismith Room in the Wagon Student Athlete Center during men's games.
The Athletics Corp. also provides a 13-person scholarship suite high above Memorial Stadium for the Coca-Cola Co.'s use during football games. The company can also admit 50 employees and guests to a men's basketball practice with a catered post-practice or pregame event, each year.
The beverage of choice
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Health Center, said the growth of soft drink serving sizes — such as the rise of the 20-oz. Coke bottle on campus — contributes to health problems. Sugared soda offers no nutritional value, adds to student waistlines and can cause anxiety because of caffeine, he said.
Some critics question whether the University should promote a product that nutritionists have decried for years as a contributor to weight problems and other health risks.
"Our standard serving is way up from the 12-ounce serving that a couple of generations ago we grew up with. I think we have to be careful about that," he said. "The fact that it is readily available and in some cases cheaper than water makes it easier for it to become the beverage of choice."
But for Erica Rahn and countless other KU students who buy Coke products on campus, the issue is not good nutrition. What they find so hard to swallow is how the University spends the quarters that they drop Into Coke machines.

Team offers advice, help to prospective KU students
By Laita Schultes
writer@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
They may not be greeted by familiar faces, but the Office of Admissions and Scholarships is working to ensure that students of color who visit the University of Kansas at least are met with diversity.
To accomplish that goal, the office recently began a Multicultural Recruitment Team of 13 students, ranging from freshmen to seniors.
"Before it's been kind of unofficial," said Claudia Mercado, assistant director of multicultural recruitment for admissions and scholarships. "This year we're trying to establish it as an official organization ... It's just barely getting off to a start."
She said the team primarily was comprised of African-American and Hispanic women, and she would like to see an increase in race and gender diversity.
The students help with programming during prospective student visits and offer advice to curious high schoolers. Members of the team often provide visitors a place to spend the night and acquaint them with Lawrence and multicultural resources on campus.
"We try to expose them to current students, especially students of color," Mercado said.
Sarah Zaragoza, Leawood sophomore, is one member of the team who is heavily involved. She became involved because she wanted a career in higher education and also because she thought minorities were not represented well at the University.
"It's given me a chance to kind of do something about that," she said.
Many of the students she has spoken with have not seriously considered college, Zaragoza said. She said it was gratifying to first get them interested in college, and second, to get them interested in the University.
Recruitment of multicultural students at the University has actually improved in the last few years, and this fall was up nearly 14 percent, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Planning. But retention has suffered as total numbers of minority students on campus have dropped consistently in the last few years.
hopped into business. Both Mercado and Zaragoza said the recruitment team could rectify that problem.
Mercado said it was important for students at the University to see people who looked like them and to know people when they arrived on campus. Zaragoza agreed that early introductions would help retention and has given her e-mail address to prospective students.
"They want somebody there they can keep in contact with." she said.
In addition, Mercado said, the recruitment team can do a lot for its members by making them feel part of the University.
"We're allowing these students to get active," she said. "And have an active voice in how students of color should be recruited."

Veil liberates, not oppresses Arab women, speaker says
By Leita Schultes
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The room was divided down the middle — six men on one side and about 20 women on the other.
As she took off layers of black cloth, she explained the hijab was "an umbrella term that means barrier."
A black-shroed figure presided at the front of the room. Jehan Faisal, a Saudi-Arabian-American woman and case manager for a Kansas City battered women's shelter, spoke yesterday at the Multicultural Resource Center's Brown Bag Lecture series. The title of her lecture was "Hilai: The veil and other boundaries for Arab women."
But while many westerners condemn the veil as oppressive and demeaning to women, Faisal discussed the covering in a liberal, feminist manner. It's a veil, not a wall, she said.
"I've heard from lots and lots of different people here that they don't know what to say to a woman in a veil," she said.
She said she was once asked, "What am I supposed to say if I'm not even good enough to see her face?"
Faisal, who came to the United States in high school with her Saudi-Arabian, Muslim father and American, Christian mother, does not veil or practice Islam.
Both American culture and her parents influenced that decision.
"She and my father both agreed that it was a terrible thing for women to be forced to veil." she said.
But she said she would wear a veil if she returned to Saudi Arabia because it would allow her to go out in public, work and get an education.
"I have freedom through the veil," she said.
The veil also liberates women from being viewed as sexual objects, she said.
Many Saudi-Arabian women believe wearing the veil prevents oppression. Without it, "You are up for approval by every single man you meet in the street," Faisal said.
Hasheem Mannan, a graduate student from India, was one of the few men who attended the lecture.
"It's a very different way of living," he said, adding that his family was Islamic.
Mannan said his mother was fairly liberal, but after living in Mecca for five years, she started to wear a veil
He said Faisal's was a fairly liberal view point, but he agreed that women should choose whether they veil.

"It's entirely up to them." Mannan said. "It shouldn't be forced on them."
Bush rejects Gore proposal for manual recount
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas Gov. George W. Bush said Wednesday night he believes the disputed Florida vote will be settled at midnight Friday, when the remaining absentee votes from overseas are tallied.
In answer to a speech several hours earlier by presidential rival Al Gore, Bush sought to spell out an end game for an election that has run more than a week into overtime.
"The way to conclude this election in a fair and accurate and final way is for the state of Florida to count the remaining overseas ballots, add them to the certified vote, and announce the results as required by Florida law," Bush said. His scenario would ignore the hand counts under way.
Bush rejected Gore's proposal for a statewide manual recount in Florida, calling the procedure under way in Democratic-leaning countries "neither fair or accurate. It would be arbitrary and chaotic." He said the hand counts should not be included in any final count.
Bush had hastily returned to Austin from his ranch in Crawford, Texas, after Gore appeared before the cameras more than three hours earlier. Dressed in a suit and tie, he was flanked by flags in the living room of the governor's mansion — a setting that resembled a formal White House scene.
Bush accepted Gore's offer to meet together after Florida's contentious election outcome is resolved — but did not mention the vice president's suggestion that they meet
sooner.
"Not for Vice President Gore or me, but for America this process must have a point of conclusion. America and the world must know who will be the next president," Bush said.
He said the hand counts aren't fair.
"This means every vote in Florida would be evaluated differently, by different individuals using different judgment and perhaps different local standards, or perhaps no standards at all. this would be neither fair nor accurate, it would be arbitrary and chaotic."
Bush said both candidates must respect the law and not challenge it if the outcome is unsatisfactory.
Nonetheless, both Bush and Gore have gone to court

Punter endures flawed season
Injured player struggles in final games before suiting up for wedding
By Jason Franchuk sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Kansas senior punter Joey Pelfanio has had games when there were human locomotives charging at him, but nothing has intimidated him more than facing Janet and Randy Wright.
When you're 22, in love and want to get married, potential in-laws can be more threatening than trying to get off a punt with a 250-pound steamroller in your path.
Asking Sara Wright for her hand was more difficult than anything he had endured on the field.
"Asking her was the most nervous I've ever been," Pelfonio said.
He committed a false start of sorts when he proposed to his girlfriend on Dec. 22, 1999.
He was so overzealous to go down on one knee that he had forgotten to ask her father for his blessing.
Pelfanio had picked up the engagement ring and was planning to ask Wright at a festival near Sacramento, Calif., where both are from.
But he had more jitters than anytime in football, and he popped the question before telling her parents he was doing so.
"Those were the first words that came out of my mom's mouth," Wright said. "She wondered why he didn't ask them first. But they were thrilled."
But until their wedding next year, Pelfiano has more work to do on the football field. And his last year of playing, by his estimation, has been far from thrilling.
From the season-opening loss at Southern Methodist, the special teams were in ruins. In that opener, Pelfiano had a blocked punt, a mishandled snap he was eventually sacked on and a snap sailed over his head and he had

The injury has him thinking about what could have been. After a successful 1990
campaign, he entered this year

sure and there's a lot of situations that can go wrong — a bad snap or a bad hold, or something like that. But we'll be the ones who get more blame or credit than we deserve.
His health has been in ruins too. All
"It seemed like last year he had the good year," Garcia said. "This year it was me, and he strug-gled. But I know what it's like. There's pres-
wake I'm in pain.
Not that Pen-about it much.
Wright said she would have even known about Pelfanio's pain if he hadn't told her about a doctor's appointment he made to diagnose the problem.
"He's quite amazing," she said.
"He doesh't say anything. He's very modest."

Garcia said he missed his former roommate, but the two still see each other.
Garcia has helped Pelfanio get through some of the tougher times this year. But the injury still makes him wonder.
"I think of what if," Peffiano said. "I wonder what could have been different if I never hurt my back. But this year, it's like I wake up every morning, and I'm in pain."
Longhorns shut out volleyball team again
The Kansas volleyball team fell to the Texas Longhorns last night in a 3-0 shutout in Austin, Texas.
The Jayhawks floundered in the first two games but fought hard in the third, eventually falling 15-1, 15-2, 16-14. The Longhorns dominated with a strong serving and blocking scheme.
With last night's loss, Kansas falls to 14-13, and 5-13 in the Big 12 Conference, while Texas improves to 9-15, 7-10.
"in the first two games Texas played unbelievably well," said coach Ray Beach. "They came out strong and really took it to us."
This is the Jayhawks' second loss to the Longhorns this season.
The first loss came on Oct. 7 when the 'Hawks fell in five games in Lawrence. In that game, senior outside hitter Amy Myatt put away 34 kills. Last night, however, she was held to just five.
She entered the game last night needing only 24 kills to break the school record for the most kills in a season with 450. She will have to wait until Saturday's home match against Missouri to claim the 13-year-old record.
The Jayhawks will then have a week off before competing against Oklahoma on Saturday, Nov. 25 for the last regular-season match.
Kansas will recognize its four seniors before and after its match against the Tigers.
The Jayhawks must win one of their final two matches in order to avoid falling to the .500 mark for the first time in more than two years.

Jayhawks lack depth on bench going into season home opener
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
When Kansas had former Parade All-American Lester Earl as the 10th player in the playing rotation last season, it had a little too much depth
But this year, with walk-on junior guard Brett Ballard filling Earl's role deep in the rotation, the Jayhawks probably do not have enough.
For the past two seasons, Kansas coach Roy Williams had a wealth of players on his bench, sometimes rotating as many as 10 into any given game. But after an ankle injury sidelined senior forward Luke Axtell, Williams will stick with a seven-man regular rotation for the time being.
And he's not happy about it. "To me, there's no question that it's a disadvantage," he said. "What would really be a disadvantage is if we had five guys. Ten or 11, like we've talked about in the past, is sometimes too much. But I can give eight or nine guys enough playing time that they're not disappointed. But so far, we don't have that luxury."
And he's not happy about it.
It's no coincidence that those seven players — with the exception of Kinsey — are also the most experienced on the Kansas roster. After Kinsey, the experience drops off to seldom used junior forward/center Jeff Carey, freshman forward Bryant Nahle and a slew of walk-ons.
As the Jayhawks prepare for tomorrow's season home opener against North Dakota, Williams will try to stick to a rotation that includes senior center Eric Chenowith, senior forward Kenny Gregory, junior guard Jeff Boschee, sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich, sophomore forwards Drew Gooden and Nick Collison and freshman guard Mario Kinsev.
The lack of depth has put immense pressure on those seven players. If someone
gets in foul trouble — such as against UCLA and St. John's last week — or injured, the Jayhawks suddenly become beatable.
Because of last week's foul trouble, Kansas was forced to move into a zone defense, which players such as UCLA the Jason Kapono and the Red Storm's Anthony Glover beat with tremendous ease.
"It's a mistake I made," Williams said. "Because I do have confidence in Jeff, and I do think he can be that ninth guy. But it's hard to go any farther than that, to say the least."
To help ease Collison's foul pain, Williams said he would most likely insert Carey into the game. Carey played five minutes in the two Jayhawk wins in New York, and Williams said he regretted Carey's lack of playing time.
If junior guard John Crider ends up transferring to Washburn University, as circulating rumors have said, he'll have to do it while nursing a torn quadricen.
He was shut out of Kansas' 69-point exhibition victory against Emporia State and didn't travel with the team to New York last week. In his two plus years on Mount Oread, Crider has appeared in 27 games and amassed a scoring average of 0.3 points per game.
Kansas Basketball Notes:
Williams announced last night that Crider, a reserve guard from Horton, will miss two to three weeks of action with a torn quadriceps muscle in his right leg.

Kinsey hasn't been practicing lately because of flulike symptoms.
"He was very sick." Williams said. "He was throwing up all day (yester-day)."
It is still unknown whether Kinsey would play against North Dakota tomorrow ught.

Crider will be talk of town wherever he plays this year
Although the Kansas basketball team has started what should be an impressive year, one Jayhawk's future is much more uncertain.
It would be unfortunate if Crider left, but one couldn't blame him. He had offers from a handful of Division-I schools when he chose Kansas, so his impact at Division II Washburn would be strong.
No one from the team is talking, but rumors indicate that junior John Crider will relocate 20 miles west in Topeka to play at Washburn.
His exit would translate into the loss of a good guy, too. Crider, a neighbor of mine at Jayhawker Towers last year, was always friendly. One usually hears that his work ethic is impressive well.
For that reason, a John Crider playing for the Jayhawks is great for the state of Kansas.
Jon Stoppel, a sophomore from Washington, Kan. (yeah, coincidentally, that's where I'm from), reached the final 15 potential walk-ons for this year's basketball team. He would be the topic of conversation for quite some time in a town of 1,300 residents if he joined the Kansas team.
Sure, he's not the greatest athlete to wear a Jayhawk uniform. But he's a good player on a very talented team.
Most small town athletes play two to three sports in high school before becoming just another Joe Schmoe. These Kansans can live vicariously through Crider and other rural Kansas stars.
And to dispel the idea that recruiting inside the Sunflower State is a lost cause, consider the talent of some of Kansas' greats:
Leavenworth's Wayne Simien, whom Roy Williams has had an eye on since Simien was in junior high, will be a Javahawk next year.
Please see former Iowa State basketball player Jacy Holloway (Moundridge) or current Cyclone Paul Shirley (Jefferson West High School), whose hometown Meridan isn't far from Crider's Horton.
- Former Jayhawks include Wichita's Steve Woodberry and Mark Turgeon (Topeka-Hayden).
Kris Weems (Schlage-Kansas City) was on the recent Stanford Final Four team.
In football, former Kansas State linebacker and current NFL player Mark Simoneau (Smith Center) and Oklahoma State Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders (Wichita) come to mind.
John Riggins, who led the Jayhawks to the 1969 Orange Bowl, is from not-so-big Centralia.
Former Kansas football player Michael Chandler went to KC-Piper and current wide receiver Harrison Hill hails from Wichita Collegiate.
Many standout Kansans have probably been omitted, and for that I apologize. But that solidifies the point that in-state products are productive.
Yes, Crider's days as a Jayhawk may be numbered. Yes, his percentage in threepoint land isn't grand. And yes, his claim to fame is the points he accumulated on the free-throw line.
But by the same token, he has talent.
He wouldn't have been offered a scholarship if Williams thought otherwise.
So when Washburn and Kansas collide after Thanksgiving, Crider will be wearing Crimson and Blue or Ichabod Blue. The former has been worn by some of the best and has much prestige. The latter will probably bring minutes upon minutes of playing time.
Either way, the small-town kid will give people in Horton and other towns waiting to get on the map something to talk about besides the weather.

Ankle, back injuries plague center position
By Zac Hunter
sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
The starting lineup of the Kansas women's basketball team will most likely change from week to week, and the position that is most hotly contested is center.
Juniors Kristin Geoffroy and Nikki White are battling each day in practice for playing time. Junior Dalchon Brown also is in the mix for time, but a back injury has kept her on the sidelines for the first part of the season. Brown played only five minutes in the first exhibition game against the Basketball Travelers.
"She didn't have a chance to show everything she has," said coach Marian Washington.
wrote started against the Travelers, but she played only 13 minutes because of an ankle problem. In those 13 minutes, she grabbed three rebounds and scored only one point, but Washington said she was happy with what she saw.
"We've got to see how she's responding." Washington said. "She ran well and she got off her feet."
The ankle soreness is a result of White's knee problems. Off-season surgery for cartilage under the kneecap caused her to miss the entire 1998-99 season. She has had seven surgeries, but she said the last major operation fixed the knee.
"My knee is doing a lot better than last year," she said.
GEORGIE 4
My knee is doing a lot better than last year. Now, fixing that problem has led to another. White adjusted the way she runs and jumps to accommodate her knee, and that has led to problems with her ankle. However, she said the difficulties with her ankle would not be as bad as the those she had with her knee.
"It won't keep me out of games," White said.
She also said some days her ankle felt better than others. Write.Write it out the story, it gives Geoffrey that stole the
show off the bench. She finished with 16 points in 23 minutes. "If Kristin Geoffroy keeps playing the way she is playing, it will be fun." Washington said.
Despite Geoffroy's 16 points being a far cry from the 2.7 she averaged last season, she and the rest of the frontcourt know it can get better.
"As soon as a couple of us get more consistent, we are going to be dominating the paint," Geoffroy said.
White said that Geoffroy pushed her in practice every day and that the best way to maximize the talent at center was for both players to get minutes.
"We both have different strengths, and Coach is going to combine them," White added.

U.S. soccer team nixes upset, beats Barbados
The Associated Press
WATERFORD, Barbados — Everything was going wrong for the United States. Possible World Cup elimination was just 27 minutes away, and it seemed that the opponents in the yellow uniforms were Brazil, not lowly Barbados.
Joe-Max Moore then created an easy goal for Clint Mathis in the 63rd minute, and the American rout belatedly began.
Earnie Stewart, Cobi Jones and Ante Razov added goals, and the Americans beat Barbados 4-0 yesterday, advancing to next year's regional finals of World Cup qualifying.
"We had to win," Mathis said. "I think the guys did a great job with the pressure."
Now the United States advances to a final group that includes Honduras, Jamaica, Mexico, Trinidad and Tobago, and either Costa Rica or Guatemala. The top three will advance to the 2002 tournament in Japan and South Korea.
It was the first time in 11 years the United States faced an elimination game in World Cup qualifying.
After a first half when Mathis hit a post in the 36th minute and got stopped by goalkeeper Horace Stoute on a point-blank shot in the 39th minute, the Americans had grim, tight faces when they walked off at halftime.
"Today seemed harder," said U.S. goalkeeper Tony Meola. "For a while, it seemed like we couldn't get a goal."
Guatemala was at home against Costa Rica in a game played simultaneously. If the United States failed to win and Guatemala won, the Americans would be eliminated.
Because Guatemala won 2-1, the United States came uncomfortably close to elimination.
"We knew it wasn't going to be easy," Meola said.
Both games were scoreless at halftime. Five minutes into the second half, Barbados nearly went ahead. Llewellyn Riley took a hard shot and Meola just managed to deflect it. The rebound hit the knee of defender Carlos Llamosa, ricocheted off the crossbar and only bounced away.
Punter hears wedding bells
"Maybe the play of the game is Meola's save," Arena said.
Continued from page 7A
It's been a modest season for 4-6 Kansas, which will finish the year at Iowa State Saturday with no chance of going to a bowl game.
That bothers Pelfanio. One of the reasons he came from Sacramento Community College was that he figured two years would be enough to reap the benefits of a major-conference program.
"It's disappointing," Pelfianio said. "It's definitely gone fast this year. I can't believe it's almost over."
But it's not. He will graduate in May from the University with a degree in juvenile justice. In June, the couple will return to California, where he will attend Sherriff's Academy, and they will plan their wedding, which does not have a set date yet.
Pelfanio and Wright met in California in January 1999 through mutual friends. It was almost bad timing because Pelfanio was set to
leave for Lawrence to begin the spring semester. But, gradually, they became better friends.
"We talked all the time on the phone," Wright said. "He just wouldn't stop calling."
Wright moved to Lawrence last summer and is a dental assistant in town. Although she didn't know much about football, she supported him.
"He had to correct me when I would tell people he was the kicker," Wright said, laughing. "But I'm learning."
Every football player has dreams of making it big. Coming to Kansas, Pelfanio hoped to be part of a team that seemed sure it would play in the postseason the past two years. Injuries and mistakes have halted the plan. Sometimes, though, there are rings that are more important.
"We're very happy together," Wright said.

A's player scores 2000 MVP title by small margin
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Jason Giambi narrowly won the American League Most Valuable Player Award Tuesday for carrying the Oakland Athletics to the playoffs.
Giambi received 14 of the 28 first-place votes, finishing with 317 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America. He got 11 seconds, two thirds and one fifth.
"This is a boy's dream come true," he said. "This has been nothing but a fairy tale for me this year with my brother (Jeremy) here and the A's winning the division."

as a pro, finishing second with 285 points and 10 first-place votes. Seattle's Alex Rodriguez got the other four first-place votes, finishing third with 218 points.
Giambi, the leader of the young A's, spearheaded their run to the AL West title by hitting .396 with 13 homers and 32 BRIs in the final month.
"I knew when I came to the ballpark that it wasn't a question if I would get a hit — it was how many and if I'd have a home run." Gambi said.
"This kid, if you look at him the last couple of years, he's gotten better each year," Oakland manager Art Howe said during the plavoffs.
He ended the season batting .333 with 43 homers, 137 RBIs and 137 walks. He led the league with a .476 on-base percentage and was third with a .647 slugging percentage.
Toronto's Carlos Delgado was fourth (206), followed by Boston's Pedro Martinez (103). Cleveland's Manny Ramirez and Seattle's Edgar Martinez (97 each). Anaheim's Darin Erstad (94). Boston's Nomar Garciaparra (66) and the Yankees' Derek Jeter (44).
Martinez was a unanimous choice for the AL Cy Young Award this week.
Thomas, the winner in 1983-94, rebounded from career lows of 15 homers and 77 RBIs and lead the White Sox to the best record in the league. He hit .328 with career highs of 48 homers and 143 RBIs. He was at his best in June, hitting .300 with 12 homers and 28 RBIs.
Rodriguez hit .316 with 41 homers and 132 RBIs at one of the game's most demanding positions. He led the Mariners to the wild card spot and within two wins of their first World Series appearance.
Glambi received a $100,000 bonus for winning on top of his $3 million salary.
Player suspended for slashing
Hockey left-wing injures opponent, will sit out 20 games
The Associated Press
The suspension matches the fourth-longest in NHL history for an on-ice violation and will cost May almost $120,000 in salary.
NEW YORK — Phoenix Coyotes left wing Brad May was suspended for 20 games by the NHL yesterday for a slash to the head of Columbus forward Steve Heinze.
Heinze needed nine stitches on his nose but was not seriously hurt. May received a match penalty for attempt to injure in the Saturday night game and has sat out the two games since the infraction.
May met with Colin Campbell, the league's director of operations, in Toronto on Tuesday.
"I have to be held accountable," he said before his hearing with
"Honestly, I just wanted to tap him on the arm," May told the Arizona Republic.
Campbell. "I've never gone after anybody like that before in my career."
"I told the trainers, 'Stitch me up quickly, boys. I'm on a power play.'" he told the newspaper.
he apologized to Heinze after the game. Heinze said he accepted the apology.
"It is fortunate Mr. Heinze did not suffer a more serious injury. The message to all players in the NHL should be clear: The act of a player striking an opponent in the head with his stick will carry severe consequences."
May will be eligible to return Thursday, Jan. 4 against the New York Rangers.
Campbell said that while May "has not previously been suspended by the league for a supplementary discipline incident, he must be held accountable for the reckless use of his stick in this instance.
"I think it was a very harsh suspension," said Coyotes general
manager Bobby Smith, adding that the team made its case to the NHL on Tuesday and has no avenue for an appeal. "We're going to miss him terribly over the next 18 games."
"I guess it comes to a point that it's unfortunate for Brad May, but maybe it's good for everybody to see how severely this is going to be treated." he said.
Blue Jackets general manager Doug MacLean told The Fan, an all-sports radio station in Toronto, that the stiff penalty was necessary.
In the terms of the Collective Bargaining Agreement, May will forfeit $117,647 of his salary. The money goes to the Players Emergency Assistance Fund.
Boston Bruins player Marty McSorley is currently sitting out one year for hitting Vancouver Canucks player Donald Brashear in the head with his stick Feb. 21. Gordie Dwyer of Tampa Bay was suspended for 23 games for abusing officials and coming out of the penalty box to fight in an exhibition game against the Washington Capitals last Sept. 19.
Bronco quarterback out of action
The Associated Press
DENVER — Quarterback Brian Griese, who led the Denver Broncos to victory Monday night despite playing with a separated throwing shoulder, will be sidelined 3-to-4 weeks and possibly longer.
"Optimistically, we're looking at three to four weeks," Broncos coach Mike Shanahdan said yesterday.
"I'm looking to come back in a month or so and see if I can throw the ball and help this team out because that's my responsibility." Gries said.
PENN STATE
He was injured in the first quarter of Monday night's game when, on a scramble, he was tackled and landed on by Oakland linebacker Elijah Alexander.
Informed by doctors that he could do no further damage to his shoulder, Griese took a painkilling injection and returned to the game, engineering a 27-24 victory.
His injury was officially listed as a third-degree separation of the AC joint, the most severe type.
Griese, the AFC's top-rated passer, already was playing with torn cartilage in the same shoulder, which will require offseason surgery. The injuries are thought to be unrelated.
With Grisee out of action indefinitely, the Broncos, who vaulted back into playoff contention with the win against Oakland, will turn to veteran Gus Frenotte. The Broncos (6-4) entertain winless San Diego (0-10) on Sunday.
Frerotte started once this season in Kansas City. Frerette was 18-of-31 for 208 yards and an interception in a 23-22 loss. But, Griese insisted he hasn't given up on this season.
"I want to play this year," he said. "I want to let the swelling go down, and see if I can throw effectively and contribute to this team. If we get into the playoffs, and hopefully I can get back for a couple games, I want to help us out. If I can't, then I'll have to weigh the other options."
Frerotte said he welcomed the challenge.
"It's an opportunity for me to keep our team on track to where we want to go — to get us to the playoffs," he said.
Arizona State dismisses coach after down year
The Associated Press
TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona State coach Bruce Snyder was fired yesterday with one game remaining in a third-consecutive disappointing season.
Snyder, who just four years ago directed the Sun Devils to an 11-0 regular season, will coach through the remainder of this season.
Athletic director Gene Smith, a former Notre Dame football player who has been at Arizona State since July, had said he would make a decision on Snyder's future after the season.
But he changed his mind following the Sun Devils' dismal 29-7 loss at Stanford last Saturday.
Smithe told Snyder his decision yesterday morning, then the coach met with his players to tell them. The Sun Devils don't resume practice until today, and Snyder told athletic department officials he wouldn't be available to comment until then.
Snyder will coach the Sun Devils (5-5) in their season finale at Arizona on Nov. 24. A win there would make Arizona State eligible for a bowl game.
He is 57-44 in nine seasons at Arizona State, but just 16-17 in the last three years. He has a 125-105-5 record in 25 years as a coach, including stints at Utah State and California.
Snyder had three years remaining on his contract. Smith said that the total buyout for the coach and his staff would be "under $2 million" and that most, if not all, of the money would come from boosters.
In 1986, Snyder won consensus national coach of the year honors after guiding Arizona State to an unbeaten regular season. The Sun Devils lost to Ohio State 20-17 in the Rose Bowl and finished fourth in the national rankings.
Arizona State was 9-3 in 1997, including a Sun Bowl appearance, but the team went 5-6 in 1998, and 6-6 last season.
Smith declined to talk about the specifics of why Snyder was fired, but said the winloss record was important.
Smith said yesterday that he had not talked with anyone about becoming the new coach.

Lawrence on the big screen
The University of Kansas and Lawrence have found different paths to the silver screen. From former basketball players taking second billing to basketball-playing dogs to an apocalyptic tale featuring shots of campus, the University has contributed diverse elements to Hollywood. Here's a list of some flicks with ties to the University and Lawrence:
Blue Chips (1994)
Gale Sayers joins the Chicago Bears as a running back and meets the competitive Brian Piccolo in this movie based on a true story. While at first the two are rivals, they soon form a strong friendship. Things take a turn for the worse when Sayers is injured and Piccolo is diagnosed with cancer. A movie originally made for television. Sayers was a Kansas running back from 1961 to 1964.
Nick Nolte stars as a California basketball coach who has his first losing season. He must decide between his personal values and the value of a winning team. The film features cameo appearances by basketball legends Bobby Knight, Bob Cousy and Larry Bird. Former KU basketball players Rex Walters and Adonis Jordan appear as players on other teams.
Brian's Song (1971)
Clueless (1993)
Paul Rudd plays Josh, Alicia Silverstone's stepbrother in the film. He wears a KU ball cap. Rudd dropped out of the University after his freshman year. Don Johnson also dropped out of the University early to make movies, and in the last episode of Miami Vice, he wore a Jayhawk T-shirt under his trademark silk suit coat.
John Heard stars an Indiana man who ran the Ku Klux Klan in the 1830s. Though it was set in Indiana, the movie was filmed in Lawrence and features several good shots of Massachusetts Street, the Douglas County Courthouse, and the South Park gazebo.
Cross of Fire (1989)
John Lithgow stands on the stairs behind Wescoe Hall and watches nuclear missiles launch. The movie was made for television, but it was still a big deal at the time. Nuclear fallout victims fill Allen Field House as Steve Guttenberg tends to the wounded. The bulk of the activity centers on Lawrence. The drama portrays the catastrophe of a nuclear confrontation and its devastating effect on a group of average citizens.
hoopsters into a winning team. It features appearances by more than four dozen real-life NBA stars, including former Jayhawk center Greg Ostertag.
A female cabbie (Whoopi Goldberg) — and diehard New York Knicks fan — is named head coach for a day for winning a halftime free-throw contest. In a publicity stunt, the owner gives her the job full time. Goldberg transforms the last-place
Eddie (1996)
Erin Brockovich (2000)
The Day After (1983)
Julia Roberts plays Erin Brockovich, a twice-divorced mother of three struggling to stay afloat in this movie based on a true story. After a car accident, she loses what should have been a lucrative settlement. Jobless and pressured, Erin convinces the attorney from her case, Ed Masry (Albert Finney), to hire her as a lawyer's assistant. As she settles into her job, she convicts Ed to let her pursue a case involving the residents of a local community. The real-life Brockovich graduated from Lawrence High School.
Scott Bakula (KU alumus) and Kathy Ireland play on a Texas college football team that meets the dreaded Jayhawks in one of its games. Texas State University loses its football team because of NCAA
Necessary Roughness (1991)
He Got Game (1998)
Jake Shuttlesworth (Denzel Washington) is serving 15 years for the death of his wife. His son Jesus (Ray Allen) is the best high school basketball player in the country. One week before Jesus must sign a letter of intent to the college of his choice, Jake is granted a temporary reprieve. The catch is that the governor wants Jesus to go to Big State, his alma mater, and is willing to consider commuting Jake's sentence if he can persuade Jesus to attend. Roy Williams makes a cameo appearance.
violations and scandals.
Primary Colors (1998)
The political process is told through the eyes of Henry Burton (Adrian Lester), an idealistic young man seduced into managing the presidential campaign of slick southern governor Jack Stanton. Billy Bob Thornton, playing a James Carvilleesque aide, wears a Kansas basketball T-shirt.
Ride with the Devil (1999)
A look at a group of Civil War pro-Southern Bushwackers — operating in the no-man's land of Kansas-Missouri — who carry out guerrilla attacks on the Union Army and its sympathizers. Bushwhacker William Quantrill (John Ales) led a hurriedly assembled group of raiders on what many thought would be a suicide mission. But, when the raiders descended upon the abolitionist stronghold of Lawrence on that Friday morning, more than 180 Lawrence citizens — men and boys — lost their lives within hours. Lawrence was burned to the ground. A few scenes in the Ang Lee-directed movie were filmed in the Lawrence area.
Running Brave (1983)
This film tells the true story of Billy Mills, an Olympic 10k gold medal winner. He was a South Dakota Sioux who ran for Kansas from 1958 to 1961 and the only American to win the Olympic Gold Medal in the 10,000 meter run.

HOROSCOPES
rodaty's Birthday (Nov. 16). Don't procrastinate. Travel first and make plans later. Get out of town in November. Find another source of income in December to cover costs. A loved one's got the experience you need in January. Toss out old stuff and bring in new in February. Heed an elder expert again in May. Let the money grow in June. Travel a haste in July; talk on the phone, instead. Even that's too much trouble in August, as plans seem to go nowhere. The biggest challenge is asking advice of a know-it-in in August and following it through September. It could make all the difference, however.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Romance beckons, but making the connection won't be easy. Set something up, anyway, even if it's a late date. You'll want to put your feet up and talk freely with somebody you trust. You need a pep talk to boost your morale.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
A misunderstanding with your mate could wrinkle your brow. Make sure you both know who's supposed to do what, when. You're a good manager, and you'll get the chance to prove it. Remind every body ahead of time so your plans will go smoothly.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
Work could be a challenge. You're sailing along fine, doing everything right, and whap—a breakdown. If you're working with a computer, make sure you keep backups. You'll fix everything, but it may be late by the time that happens.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Start the day by telling the people you love how much you care about them. Mention that, if a child mistakes love for gifts. You can love a person very much, but that doesn't mean you'll buy them whatever they want. They're two different things.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
You're up against stiff opposition. Explain everything as clearly as you can. Also, take time to listen. If the other person doesn't think you've heard him or her, he or she may not listen to you. That'll make the whole thing take longer.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) --- Today is a 6.
Don't argue with the boss today. Even if you win, you'd come out a loser. Instead, provide the information that needed. That'll make you look like the good guy, no matter what happens.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8.
Move slowly, even if you think you're onto a good thing. The bonus you think you'll earn may be more fantasy than reality. Don't believe everything you hear, either. Something that seems like a done deal might not happen. Cover all your bets.
Saaittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 3.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is an 8.
Your intuition's working well. If you get the idea that you shouldn't say something, you're right. You, more than anybody, know how to keep your mouth shut. It's a gift. Listen and find out what they think.
Don't tell them what you think.
**gimmes (nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 3.**
You've got a burning story you want to tell. It could get you support from a person you admire, but keep it to yourself, anyway. You don't want to tell somebody a story that has to be changed, later. You may not know it all, yet.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --- Today is a 7.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) — Today is a 5.
A referral from a friend could lead to more business. Be careful how you handle this situation, however. This job could be more trouble than it's worth. Ask for enough to make it worth the effort.
aprilus jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
You and your buddy have a good idea. When you take it to your supervisor or teacher, though, you get turned down. This is frustrating whether you are a kid or a congressperson. Don't give up. This will just take longer than you thought.

Big talk puts a stop on capable crooks
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — Thoughts of the Big House may act as robbery-repellent after all.
A man carrying a rifle with his cohort accompanying him entered a downtown convenience store on Monday morning, apparently intent on stealing.
But their dreams of easy-street were foiled by a quick-talking clerk who challenged their plans with one simple query: Why would anyone want to go to prison over a meagly $30?
The unidentified would be thieves walked out, leaving the money drawer untouched.
Medicare snags doctor for simple clip trip
NEW HAVEN, Conn. — A podiatrist has admitted to billing Medicare for non-reimbursable procedures — namely, toenail clipping.
Andrew Anastaseio, 71-year-old physician, pleaded guilty Tuesday to two counts of criminal fraud, and he faces up to five years in federal prison.
As part of his plea deal, he also agreed to forfeit his office building and pay $986,801 in fraud claims.
His bills to Medicare indicated he had performed avulsions, or surgical removals, of his patients' nails.
65-year-old rookie ready for cadet career
SALT LAKE CITY — At an age when most of his peers are thinking about retirement, Harry Jackson is just starting out.
In fact, Anastasio simply clipped them, prosecutors said.
Patients can no longer use Medicare insurance to pay for treatment by Anastasio.
The police academy "rookie" will be 65 by the time he completes a 20-week Utah Peace Officers Standards and Training course in March — likely making him the oldest cadet to go through police training in Utah.
"I'm definitely not ready for the rockin' chair," Jackson said Monday.
Jackson, who underwent quintuple bypass heart surgery last year, spent 10 years on active duty in the U.S. Navy and 17 years with the Naval Reserve.
"I really expected some people to laugh at me or say, 'You're crazy,'" Jackson said. Instead, classmates describe Jackson as a "hard worker," and an " animal."
"He's one of the most determined people here," Elyse Charter said.
"It's just something I've always wanted to do," he said. "I think there's still time for me to make a difference."
Jackson eams a living as a boiler pressure vessel inspector for an insurance company but wants to join a small town police department upon graduation.

The 14-month calendar copycats last year's racer British version that raised a half million dollars for cancer research.
"We're this conservative little community and people just thought this was hilarious," Jan Neibauer said. "And we figured, if nothing else, our husbands would buy them up to keep anyone else from seeing them."

The 40ish through 70ish-year-old calendar girls are shown in the calendar at the library, the Milford Bakery and violating a restaurant's no-shoes, no-shirts, no-service policy.
The calendar has been so popular that plans are in the works for a 2002 edition.
Woman wins big rig; truck taken by default
SAN FRANCISCO — Jean Moore got a little more than she bargained for when she entered a sweepstakes to win tickets to a NASCAR race. She ended up winning the grand prize — a Volvo big rig.
To call it "big" is putting it mildly. The truck has 18 gears, almost 1,000 cubic feet of living space, two eight-footed engineer and sink. It's worth $6,000.
Trouble is, the Mobil Oil contest rules say, in order to enter, participants must have a trucker license. They don't have one — so she lost the truck.
But the folks at Sears Point raceway in Sonoma heard about Moore's story and sympathized. They gave her and her B1.year-old father complimentary tickets to a Winston Cup Race.

Library flasher exposes his own check-out card
CHARDON, Ohio — Pinpointing a man accused of exposing himself at a library wasn't too difficult, police say, because he used his own card to check out books.
David Tuhill, 49, pleaded not guilty Monday to a public indecent charge
Two librarians told authorities the man lifted his shirt twice and revealed his exposed genitals to them on Nov. 5 while waiting to check out books at Chardon Public Library.
After the flasher left, library workers copied the license plate number of his car. Officer Tom Lombardo said the library card and license plate used matched Tubull's.
Police said Tuthill told them he had lifted his shirt to show off his stomach.
Wax museum remolds itself for new theme
LAKE GEORGE, N.Y. — Burt Reynolds, John Wayne and Elvis Presley were up for grabs — that is, their wax versions.
The wax figures were among dozens depicting movie stars that were auctioned this weekend by Movieworld Wax Museum.
The business is refashioning itself into a horror-oriented attraction similar to the House of Frankenstein down the street. All 70 wax figures and props, head molds, movie posters, movie stars' photos, assorted music compact discs and even the lobby's chandelier were auctioned.

CD REVIEWS Bruce Hornsby Here Come the Noisemakers
Hornsby is a Renaissance man among musicians. He draws inspiration from many genres of music such as classical, jazz and rock.
ENGR SCIENCE LAB
POLYBENZENE IN JUULI NATURAL MATERIALS
the Noisemakers proves that he is truly one of the most versatile, complete musicians
active in the American scene. This two-CD set features live performances from 1998 to 2000 of Hornsby's greatest hits during a 15-year career. But this album does not merely rehash old favorites. Every track is a jam session showcasing the first-rate band and Hornsby's pianistic talents. Although he calls it "the best record we've made to date," it's not better than his previous efforts; it's completely different.
Here Come
Fans will be interested in Hornsby's biggest hit, "The Way It Is," which serves as a springboard for extended improvisations by each band member. "The Way It Is" is a great song, but here the lyrics are left behind. Those already familiar with Hornsby's work are better equipped to appreciate the differences on Here Come the Noisemakers.
Hombsy's love of classical, jazz and rock music is apparent on this album. CD One offers his medley of "Loves You Porg?" by George Gershwin and Samuel Barber's "Nocturne", two fascinating pieces to put together. Gershwin and Barber were Americans composing music at the same time, but they created works entirely different from each other. The first drew inspiration from jazz and the other from European classical music.
Hornsby also mixes the Bob Dylan tune, "It Takes a Lot to Laugh, It takes a Train to Cry," with his own song "Sunflower Cat."
Another feature of this release is Horsby's rendition of hit songs he wrote for other artists, such as "The End of the Innocence" and "Jacob's Ladder." Any fan of Don
Henley and Huey Lewis will want to check these new stilings. Bruce Hornsby enthusiasts will adore Here Come the Noisemakers. It is like having him right there in the living room.

DELTRON 3030
As if the mysterious Metropolis-inspired cover art and the strange advance hype weren't enough, the ominous dialogue from Blur frontman Damon Albam breaks the eerie, opening silence of DELTRON 3030's new self-titled debut and tells us what that follows is no ordinary hip-hop odyssey.
jugular. Simply put, it's ambitious.
It's been a banner year for underground hip-hop, and it was only a matter of time before some of the best in the business got together to create something completely different. And make no mistake, this album colors outside the lines, pushes the envelope and goes for the

and wunderkind turntablist Kid Koala (Skiznod the Boy Wonder), appear right at home under the watchful eye of producer Dan the Automator (The Cantankerous Captain Aptos). These three collaborate to give beatlovers everywhere something new and tasty for breakfast. Kind of like when your crazy Aunt used to experiment with the traditional omelet formula. You weren't quite sure what to expect at first, but when it was all said and done, your stomach thanked you for your boldness.
WITH DELTRON 3030, imagine your ears as large satellite dishes, receiving the three musical superheroes' every message loud and clear as they keep you posted during their intergalactic sound voyage. The album's first single, "Virus," is a compelling
example of the great existential potential DELTRON 3030 possesses. Dan the Automator lays down decelingly simple but very effective beats that hang so thick they're just begging to be cut by a green laser beam. Del proceeds to do just that, splitting out volatile rhymes that illuminate the current times: ["Ha, ha, ha, secretly plotting your demise"] | want to devise a virus, to bring dire straits to your environment/Crust your corporations with a mild touch, trash the whole computer system and revert it to papyrus." Between the moments of apocalyptic anarchy, Kid Kola supplies carefully placed sci-fi loops and robot samples from obscure sources such as old-school Transformers cartoon episodes.
This same aesthetic is employed throughout the 60 minute-plus vision of the future that is perhaps best summed up by this excerpt from their entertaining press kit: "The three friends have chosen to travel together throughout the galaxy and experience life as a crew. The 'Black Box' in their spaceship records everything that happens during their journey. The data from this box makes up the CD you now have in your possession. You could call it their 'dear diary.' Dear smart listener, don't wait until the year 3030 to discover this singular record. Check it out now before it's permanently stowed in the time capsule."

If the movie *Rugrats in Paris* says "Hey, the kids went on a trip to Paris. How cute," the soundtrack calls for the barf bag on the flight home. This collection of up-and-coming teeny-boppers and pop music castaways combines to form a cliche '90s attempt to be hip.

Hayes scores points with "Chuckie Chan" simply because this song might actually apply to the movie. His role as Chef on South Park ties perfectly to the cartoon world. Halliwell's cover of "These Boots are Made for Walkin" is surprisingly refreshing and may be the highlight of the album.
The song that truly scored was Lauper's "I Want a Mom That Will Last Forever." Its lyrics may have taken 15 minutes to write, but the song is innocent and ties beautifully to the cartoon, making it one of the few tracks that does.
Rugratus in Paris blends modern pop radio to its fullest extent. If you want to hear that, just turn on the Lazer; don't buy the album.

Musical combines two books
By Amy E. Cummins Kansan theater critic
Opening night for the new rock musical Call of the Wild brought an excited audience to Crafton-Preyer Theatre in Murphy Hall last Friday.
Mariane Kubik, professor of theater and film and resident movement coach, directs and choreographs the performance. The musical is based on two novels by Jack London, Call of the Wild (1903) and White Fang (1906).
Act One depicts the struggles of the canine protagonist, Buck. One of the best musical effects is when the performance "goes electric" as Buck hears the howling of the wolves that represent the call of the wild.
Topeka sophomore Nathan Scholl's convincing portrayal of Buck makes it clear why he received the Renna Hunter Award from the Topeka Civic Theatre.
The ent'acte, or interval prior to
Theater review
Act Two, poetically depicts the birth of White Fang, offspring of Buck and a wolf. The hybrid White Fang is portrayed by Michelle Nikooomanesh, Olathe freshman, who has great voice and stage presence.
While the first half of the musical dramatizes Buck's "survival of the fittest" on the Alaskan coast, the second half ends comfortingly with White Fang finding safety at a warm fireside in California. Thus, the musical is about "how the dog goes wolf, and the wolf goes dog," in the words of the final musical number, "Every Creature Wears A Crown."
We also see the shift from civilization to wilderness and back again in the life of mapmaker Weedon Scott, played by Tom Picasso, Overland Park junior.
To some viewers, the ending of
the musical seemed protracted, giving too many choices for what might have happened to White Fang. But this demonstration of multiple possibilities might have been a theatrically deliberate way of countering the naturalism and determinism in London's novels.
John Buxton, Wichita senior, perfectly embodies Buck's rival Spitz, whose voice and movements fully convince the audience of this lead dog's dominance until his death. Ramie Becker, Visalia, Calif., junior, is excellent as Mercedes, especially in the saloon and on the dog sled.
The entire cast of dogs, wolves and pioneers is skilled, but the dog team really carries the show. One of the most crowd-pleasing performances was given by Matthew Simon, Overland Park sophomore, who is amusingly nimble as the sled dog Jonnyboy and English bulldog Lord Alfred.
The scenic design is completely
new for this production. The set was by Delores Ringer, associate professor of theater and film, the lighting design by Delbert Unruh, professor of theater and film, and the costume design by Patrick Carriere, Bemidjl, Minn., graduate student.
Kubik's musical version of *Call of the Wild* is a participating entry in the Kennedy Center/American College Theater Festival.
An impressive number of students and faculty members have collaborated to make this University Theatre rock musical an experience no one in the region should miss.
Performances are at 7:30 tonight, tomorrow night and Saturday night and 2:30 p.m. Sunday at Crafton-Preyer Theatre. Tickets are available at the Murphy Hall Box office.
Tickets are $7 for the public today and Sunday; $14 for the public on Friday and Saturday; $6 for students on today and Sunday; and $7 for students on Friday and Saturday.

Several sites offer stress relief fun
Welcome to collegiate hell. This is the most stressful part of the year.
One online stress compendiu m .
If this were spring semester, we would have had break about a month ago, but now we have the rush of papers and tests just before Thanksgiving (which brings a stress all its own), plus enrollment and add/drop. We even have the added stress of not knowing who will be running the country in three months.
www.psychw.com/www/mtsei/smpage.html, lists signs of handling stress poorly as exhaustion, depression, burnout and breakdown.
Oo yeah. four out of four.
Oh yeah, four out of four,
baby.
There are a couple of good ways I know how to relieve stress. To get rid of that presidential stress, hit this week's Onion, www.theonion.com. It's one of their best issues in a while, and their coverage of "Mayhem 2000" is hard to beat.
Another good place for a laugh is ESPN, where they just premiered a new weekly columnist: Hunter S. Thompson. That's right, your favorite mescaline-laced gonzo journalist and author of numerous books and articles with titles incorporating "Fear" and "Loathing" opines for the sports network.
Thus far, he is railed against baseball ("Pitchers, as a group, are pampered little swine with too much money") and the Oakland Raiders ("They strangled cops and ate their own babies"). Check it out at

You could also try going to www.cdnnow.com and hunt down some Enya clips. They'll only be 30 seconds, but hey, you get what you pay for. Of course, I'm not sure hearing "sail away sail away sail" over and over again will reduce your stress level more than raise your aggravation level.
Meditation has always been touted by Enya listeners as a good way to relieve stress. One site, www.meditationcenter.com, covers everything you would need know. It provides instruction on every way to "om" under the sun.
Finally, I recommend www.905cafe.com. Designed for stress relief on the job, it has several "mood rooms." It also has a link for when your boss peeks over your shoulder to take you to some serious-looking efficiency study. I went into the zen room. Here is a halku it inspired:
pretty peaceful pics
pretty pastel pre panic button for the boss five syllable aaaaaaaah
I've also heard of some who have reduced their stress through something called "time management," but I'm too busy to look into it right now.
If you hear anything, e-mail me.

Ben Affleck grateful for role with ex-girlfriend in Bounce
101
Ben Affleck stars with ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow in Bounce, which opens tomorrow. Affleck described the movies's script as being rich, layered, textured, interesting and subtle — a real actor's movie. Contributed photo
NEW YORK — Ben Affleck chomped on ice from his soda glass, and the occasional shard of cube shot from his mouth as he explained how it felt to make a love story with ex-girlfriend Gwyneth Paltrow.
The Associated Press
"It wasn't easy," Affleck says. "It was certainly awkward in some ways. Like they always say, the old adage about not — uh, it may not be printable — the idea that you're not supposed to date co-workers ... You know the said."
Yes, many of us know that scatological expression.
But Affleck was able to defy that old saying and make Bounce with his former squeeze and fellow Academy Award winner because she made it possible, even easy.
"She's a pretty exceptional lady," he said during an interview in a Manhattan hotel suite. "I'm not a guy who's got a lot of good relationships with ex-girlfriends. I don't know how that works."
The 28-year-old actor, who shared a screenwriting Oscar with Matt Damon for Good Will Hunting in 1998, theorizes that women are better at remaining friends with exes. (Paltrow declined to be interviewed.)
"That's always been a mystery to me up until now," Affleck says. "Maybe I just grew up. I don't know what it was. But I've finally been able to have a decent friendship with somebody who I went out with."
One benefit of their relationship, which lasted from fall 1997 to the beginning of 1999, is the "emotional honesty" that he and Paltrow's shared past brought to Bounce, Affleck savs.
In the film, Affleck plays Buddy Amaral, an unctuous, glib ad man who gives his airplane ticket to a family man (Tony Goldwyn) eager to get home for the holidays. The plane crashes and everyone is killed. Buddy's agency handles the airline's damage-control ad campaign, so, doubly wracked by guilt, he drinks himself into rehab.
Once he's sober, he looks up the
man's widow (Paltrow). Initially it seems he just wants to boost her fledgling career as a real estate agent, but then they fall in love, all without her knowing that Buddy should have been on the plane.
Affleck shot 1998's Shakespeare in Love with Paltrow while they were dating.
After they broke up, Paltrow brought Affleck the Bounce script, which he found to be "rich, layered, textured, and interesting and subtle, and a real actor's movie."
"I would never have probably have heard about it if it hadn't been for her." he says. "Because since we weren't going out anymore, I'm sure people would have assumed that I'd be the last guy who they would bring it to, because people would assume that it would be awkward or whatever."
He was grateful for the role in Bounce: a character who is flawed and contradictory, a guy in pain who is looking for redemption. And director Don Roos said, "Affleck really shines as an actor in the second half of the movie, as Buddy is forced to go deeper."
Affleck, who will appear in next year's planned epic Pearl Harbor, said he's come a long way from the days when casting directors didn't
think he was leading-man handsome.
"So it was a challenge for me to get people to take me seriously as a leading man," he said, crediting director Kevin Smith for helping by giving him the lead in the 1997 independent hit Chasing Amy.
Several years and various magazine covers later, the friendly 6-foot-2-inch actor admitted feeling resentful about the attitude he met early in his career. "But something good came of it," he said. "It's what motivated Matt and I to sit down and write."
Without going into specifics, Affleck said he and Damon, his childhood friend from Cambridge, Mass., were writing a script they hope to co-direct.
As for those doubters, Affleck said he didn't want to do a dance of vindication in their offices now. What's more important to him is to prove that the people who believed in him were right. That's why he was glad Good Will Hunting was successful.
They had to convince Miramax co-chairman Harvey Weinstein to spend $15 million on the movie
"I wanted him to feel like he made a good choice, a good investment. There's nothing worse than the feeling that you've let people down." Afleck said.

The Grinch steals Christmas with fanciful, comedic style
The Associated Press
Jim Carrey has ruined Christmas!
Just kidding, Carrey's update of the season's most beloved ogre, Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas, is a hoot from start to finish, a showcase for the actor's manic physical comedy and director Ron Howard's sye for the fanciful.
In lesser hands, this easily could have been a seasick crocodile of a movie. The combination of Carrey and Imagine Entertainment, founded by Howard and producing partner Brian Grazer, proves just right for bringing Theodor S. Geisel's lyrical, off-kilter world to life.
Together with a cast of colorful Whovilians and a skilled team of designers, Carrey, Howard and Grazer have created an enthralling comic fantasy.
Accented by narration from Anthony Hopkins, the movie trims out the taut fable with flashbacks to the Grinch's unhappy childhood, which cemented his hatred of Christmas and the Whos. The film weaves in a host of new Who characters around the story's three principals: the Grinch, his dog, Max, and Cindy Lou Who (played by newcomer Taylor Momsen).
There's the ponderous Who mayor (Jeffrey Tambor); the Who he woos, Martha May Whovier (Christine Baranski); Cindy Lou's folks (Bill Irwin and Molly
Shannon); and the mayor's toadying alde (Howard's brother Clint).
They and the townsfolk are caught up in the crass commercialism of Christmas like Wal-Mart shoppers at 6 p.m. Dec. 24.
Only Cindy Lou questions the grabby, gift-giving holiday machinery. Her curiosity turns upward to Mount Crumpet, home of the mythical Grinch — the only other creature who seems immune to Christmas madness.
The Grinch is as much a trickster as an ogre, giving Carrey leeway to prance and chortle with psychotic glee. He terrorizes "Who-venile delinquents" who taunt him, makes prank calls to Whos and visits Whoville incognito to lob wrenches into the holiday works. Amid a crowd of Whos, he strategically places mistletoe to let them know exactly where the Whos can kiss him.
Many of the strongest moments come with the Grinch alone in his cave, celebrating his misanthropic life. It's not just the green sasquatch makeup that makes the Grinch seem real; beneath the fur is Carrey hurling himself into the Grinch persona as fully as he did with comic Andy Kaufman in Man on the Moon.
Carrey is a whirlwind of kinetic energy whose far-ranging intonations and body language flesh out a hysterically funny Grinch.
There's amusing interaction among the Grinch and the Whos
early on, though at times it feels like the gags slipped in to fill time before he concocts his grand scheme of filching Christmas. But the give-and-take between the Grinch and Cindy Lou truly charms.
"Nice kid," the Grinch utters after Cindy Lou states that even the Grinch deserves a happy Christmas. "Ba-a-ad judge of character."
Taylor Momsen, only 5 when she landed the role, is a marvelous pixie who evokes touching compassion when she confronts the Grinch. Instead of the innocent babe of the cartoon, she plays a proactive Cindy Lou who is the linchpin to the Grinch's reclamation and the conscience that shakes her community out of its holiday materialism.
Tremendous credit goes to Howard and Grazer's design team, which fabricated costumes, makeup and sets that blaze with color, whimsy and good cheer.
The Grinch's lair is a wondrous collage of gizmos pieced together with objects from Who trash, which is shot up a pipe and dumped near his door. ("It's amazing what these Whos throw away," the Grinch mutters. "One man's toxic sludge is another man's pot-pourri.")
The mix adds up to a juicy roast beast of a movie that's sure to join the book and TV cartoon as holiday perennials.

Character actor finds home on TV
The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — A woman taking the Paramount Pictures studio tour does a double take as a man walks across the parking lot. She recognizes the actor's face but can't place his name.
"Isn't that the guy from The Green Mile?" she asks.
"In't that the guy from The Green Mile?" she asks. William Sadler, one of the most familiar character actors in Hollywood, says he gets that a lot. Not surprising, considering his resume includes notable performances in The Green Mile, The Shauashank Redemption, Hard to Kill and Die Hard 2.
But his most challenging, if not rewarding role, he said, is that of Sheriff Jim Valenti on *Roswell*, the WB's teen alien-action series, which airs Mondays at 8 p.m. The series is based on the *Roswell High* book series by Melinda Metz about the fabled 1947 spaceship crash in New Mexico.
"There are a lot of firsts for me with this show," the 50-year-old actor said. "I never had an on-screen romantic entanglement until now. I've never worked with these kind of special effects.
"In this town, when somebody writes something good,
it's like a nugget of gold," he said.
"Over the years, people have recognized me when a movie came out and said, 'Aren't you that guy?' Now I get it a lot more, mostly from teenagers. It's kind of funny." Sadler was offered the role by series co-creator David Nutter, who cast him in the 1998 alien-horror film Disturbing Behavior.
"We didn't know whether he would consider doing it," said series co-creator Jason Katims, who also created My So-Called Life. "He had a very successful, steady film career going. But we needed somebody of his caliber because we wanted a three-dimensional character."
sadter said what sold him on his first full time television outing was a well-written script. He appeared previously in *Tales From the Crypt* and had a recurring guest spot on Roseanne.
It's like a magpie in Roswell, a struggling series populated with young unknowns, may seem a strange choice for Sadler, who has held his own with Morgan Freeman and Tom Hanks, and has been called the "actor's actor" by Freeman.
Not so, Sather said.
"I learn from everyone, from every experience," he said.

Basketball game to create detours
Bv Rob Pazell
By Rob Pazell
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The first men's regular season home basketball game tonight will mean heavy traffic before and after the game.
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said that traffic would flow normally before the game and that officers would be on hand to help pedestrians cross the streets.
"People need to plan ahead and come early to avoid pregame congestion." Mailen said.
Don Kearns, director of parking, said that lot 90, south of Robinson Center and east of Allen Fieldhouse, would be open to everyone for $6 a car. The Irving Hill Road parking garage, lot 54 east of Green Hall and lot 72 east of the Burge Union are reserved for Williams Foundation Contributors only.
The Oliver Residence Hall parking lot is reserved for residents with Oliver Hall passes. Kearns said that on cold nights in the past, students with yellow permits had driven from the Daisy Hill residence halls and tried to park at Oliver.
Although others are restricted from parking in the Oliver lot, students from the residence hall still have trouble getting into the lot, especially directly after the game.
Jeremy Clarkson, Toronto, Ontario junior,
said he had a tough time getting into his hall
after games because of the way traffic was directed.
"It makes me mad because I have to take detours all around campus," Clarkson said. "I'd want to take a right or a left somewhere, and it's blocked off."
After the game, Naismith Drive will be closed from 18th street to Shwegler Drive. Traffic from the Robinson Center lot will be directed north on Naismith from the Shwegler Drive exit and south on Naismith from the 18th Street exit.
Mailen said barricades would be set up to indicate the flow of traffic.
Traffic from 15th Street and Irving Hill Road will flow two lanes westbound only to Iowa Street, and cars coming south from the Robinson lot will flow two lanes southbound only on Naismith Drive to 19th Street.
Malien said people living in Jayhawker Towers, the Phi Kappa Psi fraternity and the Pi Beta Phi Sorority might have trouble getting into their lots during the traffic jam. He urged those students to plan ahead.
"It becomes a headache for people at the Towers and other places in the area," Malen said. "They may have to park somewhere else until traffic is diminished."
Mailen said traffic after the game would be congested for about 15 to 30 minutes.

KU may get $3 M for meeting its goals
By Jason Kraill
By Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The University of Kansas could beef up its budget by $3 million by 2003 through a new Kansas Board of Regents program that would award funds based on progress toward Regents goals.
At a meeting in Goodland this week, the Regents hammered out four areas for the 37 universities, community colleges and technical schools it governs on which to evaluate themselves: teaching and learning, research, service and institutional management. By July, the universities will collect information about improvements in those areas. Each school that reports progress satisfying the Regents will be awarded a 2 percent increase in its budget.
For the University, that means about $3 million.
KU will be responsible for coming up with its own goals and measures of progress within the categories, said Ben Walker. student body president.
"KU will have to come up with indicators to see how we're progressing in specific areas." Walker said.
In March, the Regents will approve each school's plan for evaluating performance. By May, they'll accept outlines of planned improvements. Each university, community college or technical school will prepare reports on their progress next summer to become eligible for the funding boost in fiscal year 2003.
Provost David Shulenburger said he planned to meet with deans, department chairs and other administrators to determine the University's performance indicators. They'll be based on the
What's happening: The Kansas Board of Regents has chosen areas on which to evaluate its institutions. Schools that meet the Regents' standards are eligible for a budget increase.
What it means: If KU meets the standards, it could receive a 2 percent budget boost, which would be about $3 million. by 2003.
What's next: KU administrators will form a system for tracking progress to show that they have met the standards for teaching, research, service and institutional management.
University's strategic plan, which calls for service learning, undergraduate research and international experiences, he said.
This program gives rewards for improving the quality of programs, Shulenburger said.
Under the bill, the Regents will not reduce funding if universities do not meet their goals, Shulenburger said. University Council, Faculty Council and other University governance groups will be involved in the process, he said.
The Regents program will be funded with Kansas Senate Bill 345, passed in May 1999, which redefined the Regents' jurisdiction to include community colleges and reserved funds in the state budget to provide incentives for performance and increase faculty pay.
"There could be a lot of money riding on this," Shulenburger said.
"This gives us an opportunity to move away from numeric goals," he said.

Senate can't tackle tuition without help from students
By Kursten Phelps
writer @kansan.com
Kansan's writer
Students can't control how much they pay in tuition, but Student Body President Ben Walker wants to change that.
Walker is the principal representative of students when it comes to lobbying at the Board of Regents and state Legislature, and he said the system needed to be updated. Currently, a few student body presidents are members of the Regents budgetary development committee, which approves tuition increases, he said.
"The current system has a mechanism for student input, but it's not a very good one," Walker said. "We are members of the committee, but if the Regents want to increase tuition, we really won't be able to have any influence."
Walker said the tuition increases approved last year proved that more student input was needed in the tuition debate.
"Students were basically ignored," Walker said. "We were basically shut out of the process and not even informed of a tuition increase of pretty dramatic proportions. There was not enough talk about it. It indicates that student opinion is given virtually no weight in this system."
Chancellor Robert Hemenway, however, said students did have an impact on the Legislature's tuition decisions
Does Student SENATE make a difference
"Students have a certain credibility with Legislature," Hemenway said. "The Legislature knows students want to have a good education. I've felt that students have supported the University to a considerable extent when the University can show it's proposing to do something that will make for a better education and a better experience for students at KU."
Walker said he hoped to use students' lobbying power to persuade the Legislature this winter to address a series of tuition legislation that he called the Tuition Bill of Rights.
The proposed package of laws would reduce the Board of Regents control on tuition decisions, he said, and give students more protection against tuition hikes.
One bill to link need-based financial aid increases to tuition hikes failed in the Kansas House of Representatives last session by a close vote, and Walker said he thought the bill had a good chance of passing in the upcoming session.
"Students can have a whole lot of impact if they go up and lobby." Walker said. "There's only so much I can say. I can't give personal stories about how many jobs they're working and the difficulties they have paying for school. I can stand up there and say tuition increases are pricing people out of higher education until I'm blue in the face, but if we don't have other students there proving the point from an individual level, we're not going to have any success."
Hemenway said he considered Student Senate to be an integral part of the tuition discussion.
"I think if you have a good system of shared governance, which we do, students are always going to have a part in the dialogue." Hemenway said. "I would see student involvement."

Weinermobile provokes diverse responses
By Meghan Bainum

Kansas staff writer
What's 11-feet high, 8-feet wide, 21-feet long and makes college students trip on their own feet?
The famous hot-dog shaped vehicle visited campus yesterday, turning heads and offering interested students a chance to apply to be Wienermobile drivers.
The Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, of course.
Allison Deutch, a 2000 KU graduate and the first "hotdogger" from the University, drove the 2000-model mobile hot dog to campus yesterday.
Deutsch was one of 12 college graduates out of about 1,000 applicants chosen to drive one of several
Wienermobiles.
"I was in a new state with a new group of friends starting a unique job," she said. "I've definitely gained confidence and independence."
The job began on June 1 — about one week after graduation. Deutch said the transition was slightly shocking.
She said her job started out at a place called Hot Dog High where she and other new recruits learned the ways of the Wiener.
After training, Deutch and her partner, Michael Shuck, a graduate from the College of William and Mary in Williamsburg, Va., hit the road.
Deutsch and Shuck have driven the 7-ton Wienermobile from the northern part of Michigan to southern Florida. After their brief KU visit,

they were off to Los Angeles. Shuck said the only vacation they would have would be for Thanksgiving and Christmas.
Despite the long traveling hours, Deutch said she had fun.
"It never gets boring because we get so many great reactions," she said. "Every single day people come up to us and say, 'I've never seen
this before — can I touch it?""
Shuck said they fielded many questions when they were in the car.
"We have people who ask us if it flies or if it's a boat," he said. "And they're serious."
Though the hot dog does not fly, it does feature a CD player, 27-inch television, and six comfortable seats.
Travis Franke, Topeka junior,
approached the hot dog with a smile
on his face to get one of the popular
"wiener whistles."
After obtaining the whistle, he stood and looked at the huge meat vehicle with a peculiar expression on his face.
"I really want a hot dog." Franke said.

Law school food drive hopes to feed families
The 10th Annual Thanksgiving Day Food Drive will take place today and tomorrow in order to facilitate Monday deliveries.
Donations must be taken to Green Hall by 5 p.m. Food baskets will be assembled tomorrow between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
Dan Cranshaw, campus coordinator for the food drive, said that last year the drive fed more than 100 families in Lawrence.
To increase that number, the law school had competitions among students and solicited contributions from faculty and staff. Other campus organizations and Lawrence businesses also contributed to the project.
The food drive is sponsored by the Black Law Students Association.

University of Kansas students were appointed to the International Student Ambassador Program for the 2000-2001 academic year.
The 16 students were appointed by the Office of International Student Services, which is a volunteer student program that selects and trains exceptional students to promote KU abroad.

Justin Shmalberg, Lawrence freshman and one of the selected students, said an ambassador's duties included working in the International Student Services Office and writing letters to prospective international students.

The settlement consists of $113 million in cash, $43.5 million to adjust salaries during the next decade and $36 million for oversight of the company's practices.

The Internet Corp. for Assigned Names and Numbers was considering alternatives to .com, which has some 20 million registrations worldwide.

The new names would be the first major additions since the system of domains, or Internet address suffixes, was developed in the 1980s. The new suffixes could appear in use by mid-2001.
Initial approval Thursday was given to .biz for businesses, .web for just about anyone, name and iii for individuals, .museum for museums, .coop for business cooperatives and .aero for the aviation industry.
There are already "regional" suffixes familiar to most computer users, such as edu and.gov, which are for educational institutions and government agencies. But.com .net and org currently are the only suffixes designated as available to anyone worldwide.
New suffixes could make more simple addresses

available and Web sites easier to find. A computer user, for example, could someday type ama.health to reach the American Medical Association Web site instead of www.ama-assn.org. The current name is so long because ama.org belongs to the American Marketing Association.
The new suffixes also could begin a new Internet land rush, with speculators and trademark holders competing to claim the best names first.
For this week's meeting, companies proposing new suffixes paid $50,000 for the chance to become record keepers for the new names. As registry operators, they would be able to charge a few dollars per name registered — an amount that could add up to millions of dollars for the most popular suffixes.
ON THE RECORD
New suffixes have been under consideration since the mid-1990s, but there were disputes about how many, which ones and registration. ICANN was designated by the Commerce Department in 1998 as the overseeer of domain names and online addresses.

Serbian adviser calls Milosevic a coward

Former KU visiting professor Svetozar Stoianovic, who is an adviser to Serbian President Vojislav Kostunica, spoke to about 60 people in the Kansas Union about the fall of former Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosevic's regime. Photo by Matt J. Daugherty/KANSAN
- Former Yugoslavian President Slobodan Milosevic is a coward, a close adviser to the newly elected president of Serbia said yesterday.
Svetozar Stojanovic, who taught at the University of Kansas during the early 1990s as a visiting professor, now advises Serbian President Vojislav Kostunica. He lectured to about 60 people on the causes that brought down the authoritarian regime of former President Milosevic at the Kansas Union.
Stojanovic said Milosevic was characterized by a dual personality.
"He has two faces." Stojanovic said, adding that Milosevic was brave and willing to fight, yet cowardly.
Stojanovic said that although Milosevic sometimes relied on alliances with opposition parties, he always tried to give Serbians the impression that he was somehow supported by the West.
"But that stopped to work when the West started to blackmail him." Stoianovic said.
He said that although Milosevic had implemented repressive measures since 1997, the West thought it would be too early to end the Milosevic regime without
something like the turmoil in Kosovo.
"The West was using him, but he was also using the West," Stoianovic said.
He said the Serbian people supported Milosevic during the NATO bombings in 1999. The alliance didn't know who was on
Milosevic's side, so Serbians backed their president for protection.
Support faded when the International Court of Justice at The Hague indicted Milosevic as a war criminal, Stojanovic said.
He recounted a conversation between Milosevic and Kostunica
that took place after Kostunica's victory before Milosevic conceded defeat.
"Kostunica was very humane for not telling him then that Serbian politics had no place for Milosevic," he said.
"We are planning to set up an institutional and legal system that will make investment possible," he said. "This should be done by the spring."
Stojanovic said Serbia was still negotiating with the International Monetary Fund to receive foreign credit and investments.
Jarek Piekalkiewicz, professor emeritus of political science and Eastern European studies, attended the lecture and said Stojanovic's arguments were logical and well-presented but nevertheless were Serbian arguments.
"He uses Serbian eyes," Piekalkiewicz said. "This is a man who contributed both to the end of communism and to the fall of Milosevic, but who may be a little too optimistic about the results of the recent changes in Serbia. Other countries that have gone through the same process that Serbia is going through have faced very serious difficulties, mainly with internal corruption and foreign investments."

Ex-Israeli commando warns of neo-Nazi danger
By Cássio Furtado
Special to the Kansan
Nazis can be bankers, lawyers, politicians, writers and even professors. That's what Yavon Svoray, an ex-Israeli commando who infiltrated the neo-Nazi movement in Germany, told an audience of about 80 students last night in the Kansas Union.
Svoray has told his story in his book In Hitler's Shadow and in an HBO original film, The Infiltrator. He has also spoken on campuses nationwide and has been featured on Larry King Live.
Last night, students at the Union heard the story.
Svoray used hidden cameras and recording devices to document the surprisingly high number of neo-Nazi groups in modern-day Germany. He said his family's heritage was one of the main reasons behind his interest in uncovering these groups. His Jewish father
and grandfather were born in Germany.
"My grandfather was a German-Jewish officer," he said. "He was burned in Auschwitz by the Nazis."
Svoray, meanwhile, was born in an Israeli Kibbutz.
"When I was 5, I asked my father to have a tattoo with numbers in my arm. Everyone in the Kibbutz had one." Svoray said.
Years later he realized that those weren't tattoos.
"They marked Jews like cattle." he said.
After serving as an Israeli commando and as detective sergeant in the Israeli Central Police Command, Svoray came to the United States and started lecturing about international terrorism. During one of those lectures, a man who had fought in World War II told Svoray that he had hidden 40 diamonds in the Franco-German border. Svoray believed him.
In 1995, Svoray was in Germany. He began to meet with several former members of the
Waffen SS and the Gestapo, both German police forces during the war.
Svoray used his knowledge of movies, especially those produced by the Nazi propaganda machine, to relate to the neo-Nazis.
"They suddenly became my friends." Svoray said.
Sovoray said he knew he had to do something when he saw a group of 32 neo-naescheing and screaming as they watched a film of two men raping and killing an 8-year-old girl.
he started going to pubs near train stations and talking to regular people, who eventually led him to the highest ranks of neo-Nazis. His efforts eventually led federal authorities in Germany to upgrade their efforts at monitoring extremist groups.
"He proved to be very brave by doing what he did," said Sarah Shik, president of the KU Hillel chapter and Overland Park senior. "And he's such a good speaker."

Exploring the ups and downs of college dating
I decided to go to Border's to have some coffee and alone time to write this column about the dating situation at KU. I ended up sitting next to this cute guy who was studying for a midterm. Throughout writing this column, I tried my hardest to concentrate, but I kept glancing at him, wondering if he was going to talk to me. How ironic.
So anyway... Dating. Sounds easy enough, right? Well, if you ask most of the single students at KU, you'll get a very different answer
At this point in our lives, it seems as though the future is breathing down our backs. What am I going to do after graduation? Where am I going to live? How am I going to find a job? How am I going to meet people of the opposite sex?
unknown territory of the KU dating pool, the land of opportunity and rejection, and there is only one word to describe it — overwhelming.
Within the last month, all four of my roommates have ended serious relationships. All of a sudden we have been thrown into the
hand, there seems to be so much pressure to be dating someone. Every direction I turn I see a couple kissing goodbye, a guy waiting for his girlfriend after class, a couple walking home with their arms intertwined. How am I not supposed to feel the pressure to be someone's girlfriend?
My roommates and I came to college already in committed relationships, so now we are forced to experience in our junior year what most people experienced as freshmen — how many fish are actually in the sea
P
So what now? On one hand, there seems to be
On the other hand, there is the pressure to have the craziest time in your life in college, to do whatever you want and not be tied down at such a young age, to not "miss out."
So what's the answer? Is college the time to be on our own and have the time of our lives or is college the time to find "the one" and begin to settle down?
Jennifer
Dartt
guest columnist
opinion@hansan.com
If the latter is true, am I supposed to always be on the lookout for the next first-date possibility? That sounds like too much work. For those who consider college a time to play the field and explore their options, what happens next? When will we ever again be surrounded by 25,000 datee peers? Where do you meet people in the real world? At work? At bars?
The options seem a bit limited.
All of this fuss is leaving me thinking, does everyone else feel this way too? Does everyone else feel these dating and sexual pressures, or is it just us newcomers? I hope we're not alone.
I guess in the meantime we should all concentrate on not looking for the next Mr. or Miss Perfect, and have the times of our lives with our friends, even opposite-sex friends.
But is that really possible? I have great guy friends, and I know there are tons of people out there who are best friends with people of the opposite sex. But can guys and girls really just be friends without feeling even a hint of the sexual tension that instinctively arises when males and females interact? It's just human nature.
Now, I am not trying to exclude anyone, here, I am talking about all sexual preferences
— heterosexuals, homosexuals, bisexuals, whatever. No matter your sexual orientation, everyone feels the same pressures and fears of rejection. Everyone notices, and is a part of, the giant dating pool that we call KU.
How many guys out there can honestly say that at one distinct moment, a simple gesture or the sweet scent of their best female friend has not made them even consider taking the friendship up a notch? The same goes for girls. Sex is just in the air.
...So I'm done writing now, and I still haven't talked to the guy. My hands are shaking from drinking cup after cup of coffee, waiting to get up the nerve to say something. The pressure. The fear of rejection.
I guess that's just part of the joys of being young. Never again will we have this many opportunities, this many chances to screw up, then try again. College is a time to explore and have fun, in everything you do. So go have fun. I know I will.
I couldn't do it. I packed up my books and left, kicking myself the whole way home. Oh the loss of being young.

Letters to the Editor
Electoral College not at fault for election debacle
Cassio Furtado's Tuesday, November 14, article was clearly biased and showed a common misunderstanding of the mess we are calling the election. By this, I mean that the Democrats are calling for the dissolution of the Electoral College and screaming that the popular vote should be the vote that matters.
In every election since the beginning of our country there have been thrown-out ballots due to voter error. To even think of questioning whether or not to reinstate those ballots or to have a revote is ludicrous and would lead to the demise of our country. The Democrats have thrown their accountability out the window. They are losing and think the solution is to call the system unfair. When George W. Bush was losing the Electoral College (and he may technically still be), the GOP did not cry out as the victims of the Electoral College. Neither was the GOP crying out for the Electoral College to be abolished when it was winning the popular vote.
The clear reason this election has turned an embarrassment for the country is because the Democrats will not admit defeat. Al Gore needs to be a man and say, "I lost." Dragging the debacle on with lawsuits only perpetuates the idea that if you don't get your way, you can sue.
Of all the complaints our Berkeley Flats management could address, it's peculiar that they chose this one. Perhaps they did so because this "solution" costs them virtually nothing. Why
Berkeley Flats article overlooks serious problems
I am somewhat amused at the lapse in news judgement that resulted in Berkeley Flats' parking lot making it into your paper. Parking is very rarely a problem at Berkeley Flats. If it ever was, it was only because our management chose to sell parking spaces during football games instead of enforcing the "permit parking only" signs.
This childish game should be stopped.
not address the utterly worthless air conditioning units, the dilapidated decks and doors, the shabby staircases, the inadequate insulation and locks or the pathetic bathroom drains?
Larger problems with Berkeley Flats abound. Yet, because one great humanitarian who habitually double parks has formulated a petition and endeavored to make our lives complicated, we have a new set of inane parking regulations.
Berkley Flats has responded to the licentious outrage of illegal parking by spewing forth a set of rules that is redundant and riddled with red tape. Now we can't have guests use our lot without written permission from the management.
Brendan O'Bryhim Lawrence resident
"Sex on the Hill" feature is redundant, irresponsible
While I appreciate the Kansan's willingness to do a "Sex on the Hill" section, I think a few things need to be noted. Every year I have been here you have done a piece on the infamous downward trend of the "MRS. degree." I don't understand why this continues to be such a hot news trend for you, especially when your story in this issue doesn't seem to be based off of anything — other than the downward trend for both women and MEN. Of course, how can you get one without the other?
Sorry this is so short, but I think I spotted a potential mate who might develop high pornographic expectations of my sexual ability and then treat me as an object, while at the same time allow me to drop out of school in exchange for nuptial bliss. I better go use one of those handy pick-up lines you published!
Oh, and thanks for covering the pertinent issue of the "porn hall." I was relieved to find out that I needn't be offended by videos that subjugate women as well as potentially encourage violent/aggressive/misogynistic behavior, and that getting together to experience fake boobs (among other things), cheesy set-ups and 20-minute long orgasms was "normal college behavior."

Editorial
Recount in Florida is necessary
Both parties should respect recount to ensure a fair, accurate vote count
Election night ended one week ago and still the country does not know who will be the next leader of the United States. Bush and Gore now are delving into territory seldom seen by candidates — waiting for a decision, soaking up time not built for campaigning. But what Bush, Gore and their respective camps are doing now is drastically different and will greatly impact the upcoming term.
The camps' approaches to the Florida recount are so different that one does not even seem to be a party based on democratic ideals. The Gore camp's true philosophy is that the recount should be done carefully but not necessarily slowly. Making sure all votes are accounted for is a respectable act of democracy, especially given the voting crisis.
However, the Bush camp is setting deadlines, filling injunctions to stop a meticulous recount of votes and, basically, obstructing the democratic process.
The last week has been an exercise in partisan tug-o-war. In an attempt to save his lead and appear confident, Bush has swayed toward ignoring everything following November 7. What type of potential leader wants to silence votes, a symbol of democracy? All people, regardless of party association, need to accept the fact that the Palm Beach County ballots were confusing and possibly violated the state's election laws.
Bush's premature acceptance to the presidency most likely is because of the many sources who tabbed him as Clinton's successor. Gore has done his best to stay out of the spotlight and let the recount occur to assure an accurate vote count.
Democracy demands that votes not only be cast but counted. The Bush camp needs to let democracy work its course and respect the Florida voters and the situation.

Program aims to attract minorities
By Laita Schultes
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
A diversity program last night at the Kansas Union could turn out to be the deciding factor for some high school seniors considering the University of Kansas.
Candice DeBoise, an African-American high school senior from St. Louis, said she felt slightly out of place walking on campus yesterday, even though it was Multicultural Recruitment Day. The University, like other schools in the Big 12, fights an uphill battle to recruit and retain minority students.
But DeBoise said last night's program was reassuring and made her
think the University could be the school for her.
"I thought it was very good," she said. "It was the most amazing way I've ever seen someone teach diversity."
The event, "An Evening of Diversity," was led by the Diversity Peer Education Team, part of the Multicultural Resource Center. The event centered on a game called Bafa-Bafa, which the Navy invented as a way to teach diversity.
Santos Nunez, program director for the center, began the evening by dividing almost 50 students from KU and visiting high schools into two groups, the Alphas and the Betas.
cultural characteristics, and students were then forced to interact with one another.
Miscommunications and frustrations abounded as nonsense languages and cultural values collided.
At the end of the game, Nunez asked students to describe one another's cultures. Words such as crazy, rude, inferior and ignorant quickly filled the board.
"People," Nunez said, "this was just a game, and look what we came up with. Look at this. What does this say about our society?"
She asked students what could be learned from the activity.
"It's easier to judge people than to try to understand," one audience member said.
As soon as people see something
different, they jump on it and condemn it as wrong, DeBoise said.
DeBoise said that she had not realized her own tendency to marginalize people and that it was something she planned to work on.
Nunez encouraged the students to apply what they learned to everyday life on campus and to their interactions with all types of people.
She also said the program — and the friendly people she met — made her feel like she would "add to the number" of minority students at KU.
"You look for a school where you can feel comfortable because that's four years of your life." DeBoise said.
Professor pens biography of river explorer

Special to the Kansan
Don Worster can't even remember how many books he has written.
"I think this will be my ninth or 10th book, but I'm not sure myself," said Worster, professor of history and environmental studies.
However, he is sure that his latest book, A River Running West: The Life of John Wesley Powell, is the first biography in nearly 50 years to tell Powell's story — a story of religion, the conservation movement, environmentalism, exploration and the American landscape.
"We have a lot of biographies of political figures, but not too many about some of the people who gave us a concern for the land." Worster said.
John Wesley Powell's trailblazing expedition is one of the most famous stories of exploration in American history, Worster said. Powell, a Civil War veteran who lost half of his right arm to amputation, began his expedition in 1869 and became the first person to lead an expedition down the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. His dangerous expedition endured several hardships, including the loss of lives and precious supplies. The voyage captivated national attention, and at times, major American newspapers even reported that Powell and his crew had perished on the dangerous journey.
"He was one of the greatest explorers of the 19th century, up there with Lewis and Clark, and in some ways, more amazing than
Lewis and Clark." Worster said. "Amazing in the sense that he raised his own money for the expedition. He had no president like Thomas Jefferson standing behind him. He was the sole leader of his group. Instead of having soldiers, he had a bunch of mountain men, hunters and trappers. They were an unruly crowd. They had a lot of troubles going down the river. It was a lot more difficult, in some ways, than the expedition of Lewis and Clark."
After the voyage, Powell, by then a national hero, discussed his exploration with Congress and became a critical figure in advocating scientific examination and preservation of some of the landscape. Worster said.
Powell left an important legacy
on the landscape he explored,
Worster said...
"It opened up the imagination of the Americans to the Colorado River, to the Grand Canyon, to the Colorado Plateau," Worster said. "Today five million tourists come every year to the Grand Canyon; half come from outside the United States. That's an amazing transformation, and everywhere you go, there's Powell's name."
The biography not only describes Powell's adventurous life, but it also examines the mid-19th century shift from evangelism to a more secular American society, the conservation movement, and land use in the arid climate of the Southwest, Worster said.
Brian Drake, graduate student in American history, said he admired Worster's writing talents.
"I think he's not only one of the great writers of environmental history, but he's one of the great writers of history in general," Drake said. "There's always a beautiful elegance to his writing. He's never bogged down in history jargon. He has a wonderful ability to say things very precisely and very cleanly."
Drake also said Worster challenged readers to examine difficult issues concerning the relationships between humanity and the environment.
Andrew Frye, Overland Park senior. agreed.
"He's definitely broadened my environmental critique," Frye said. "When I take a look at something, I see it through more viewpoints than I would have otherwise."
Worster said he used a somewhat unorthodox approach in writing his new book by mixing historical study with narratives.
"Looking at our environmental history through the eyes of a particular individual, combining biography and environmental history is still a new idea," Worster said.
The Oxford University Press is publishing Worster's new book. Although many copies won't be available until the official January 2001 publication date, some copies are available at The Raven Bookstore, 8 E. Seventh St. Copies also can be ordered online at amazon.com.

By Meghan Bainum writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Go into a man's bathroom — sneak in if you have to — and look at his grooming products.
You usually will see a collection of cheap shampoo (conditioner if he's high-maintenance), one bar of soap and some grungy bottles of shaving cream and lotion. You might see a loofah-puff but that's unusual.
This is a big difference from my, and many other women's, bath product collection. I have hundreds of bath products, all carefully selected by small, texture and purpose. For me, bathing is a sacred ritual. It takes time, effort and careful powers of selection. The scent of my shampoo must match the scent of my body wash, which must match my perfume and so on.
This is not so with my friend Andy Gassaway. He seemed mystified when I was horrified by his bath product selection. Forsaking all of my carefully matched combos, I decided to take a walk on the guy side of personal hygiene and shower like a man.
Step one: Head & Shoulders Intensive
Step one: Head & Shoulders Intensive Treatment dandruff and seborrheic dermatitis shampoo
I was worried when I read the label on this bath product. Seborrheic? Dermatitis? I'm used to seeing words such as ginger flower and papaya extract on my shampoo bottles. When I poured the gunk into my hands, my worries intensified. The shampoo — goop — was bright orange and smelled like chemicals. This never would have passed my pre-buy smell test.
As I went through the lather and rinse process, instead of a "tingle to know it was working," my scalf felt as though it had caught fire. I was amazed my hair didn't rinse off with the shampoo.
I looked for the conditioner to relieve my steaming skull.
Step two: Herbal Essences Light conditioning for fine/lim hair
This was a little less foreign. Herbal Essences had been in my bathing repertoire before and had passed with fair to good marks. I wasn't confident that light conditioning was going to repair the damage done to my hair by the toxi-goo shampooing. I guess guys don't have backup bathing products for those extra-dry hair days. The Herbal Essences came out a more natural opaque white color and smelled slightly more human. It worked fairly well but did not fully rid my head of the burning sensation from the shampoo.
Step three: Colgate shave cream
Step four: Lever 2000 body wash
I just didn't have the courage to shave with the yellowish glop that came out of the rusty can of Colgate shaving cream. Not even my openness to experimentation could allow me to take that kind of risk with my bikini line.
The Pure Rain scent promised to "refresh me like a cool drenching rain on the hottest summer day." That and the pretty, vivid blue color of the product led me to think this might begin to be enjoyable. As I squirted the blue goo onto my loofah-puff — the only semblance of womanhood left in my shower — I was ready for a refreshing experience. And got it. I found that "refreshing" means something a little bit different than "moisturizing." After I rinsed the suds off and towel dried, my skin felt like sandpaper.
Chemically burned and itching, I went on to the next step in my shower-like a-man marathon.
Sten five: Suave Skin Therapy Lotion
Thank God guys have some uses for lotion. Suave Skin Therapy Lotion wouldn't be my first choice for any dryskin emergency. The lotion smelled like medicine, and the texture made me gaze longingly at the wild berry and vitamin C lotion sitting on my shelf. But for the journalistic integrity of the experience, I gritted my teeth and kept smearing on the Suave.
Step skx: Speed Stick Ultimate Northern Ice antiperspirant and deodorant
I rolled on the deodorant — the only scent for the day. Rather along the lines of the Lever 2000"s "cool drenching rain" but not as nice as my many sprays and perfumes — not to mention my own orchard blossom deodorant. I smelled neutral — like a hospital clean scent.
The end result:
The best part about the experience was its length: 10 minutes. The worst part was I was itchy, my hair looked like straw and the lack of morning ritual threw off my whole day. Let's just say I'll continue to happily horde my bath products and, after this experience, will use them with a newfound reverence.
After all, it's not just a shower—it's a way of life.

I was convinced to take part in an experiment that would redefine bathing as I knew it. My usual soaps and shaving cream were confiscated and replaced with a big box filled with flower-emblazoned bottles of ultra-moisturizing, vitamin extract-enriched shampoos, conditioners, shave creams and scented sprays on-loan from the other half of the experiment, my friend Meghan Bainum.
My foray into the world of women's hygiene was about to begin.
0.76
Phase one: Cleansing
I looked at the clock and saw I had 40 minutes to get ready before my first class. So I gathered up my flowery arsenal and headed for the shower. At first it was strange to meddle with the extremely feminine, Back to Basics wildberry shampoo and conditioner. But I admit that the smell was a nice change from the industrial floor cleaner funk of my usual shampoo.
The moisturizing body wash, Herbal Essences — full of ultra-germinated vitamin D with lilac and daisy extract — smelled lovely, too. It was almost as if I were showering in a botanical garden instead of my own filth-encrusted bathroom.
Phase two: Moisturization
I began by pulling out the Clinique "Dramatically Different" moisturizing lotion, which was a runny yellow goop that I'm sure was supposed to go on my face. I poured out too much and because I was told that it wasn't cheap, I felt obligated to rub every drop of it into my face.
Next, I reached into the box and pulled out a big white bottle of firming lotion. I couldn't figure out where I was supposed to apply it. The bottle featured a scribbled drawing of a pair of woman's legs, which I thought might have been a clue, but I decided not to chance it. Instead, I pulled out a pink bottle of hand lotion, which I immediately recognized as being much more heavy-duty than my 99 cent bottle of Suave. Not only did this stuff contain vitamin C and fresh berry extract, it was also "micro-powered" to make my skin operate at an optimum moisture level.
Phase three: Fragrances
This is where things started getting bizarre.
With most guys, the No.1 goal of preparing for a day in public is to smell like nothing. According to my instructions, this is not the case with women. I was told three levels of fragrance exist: a nice base, a middle ground and something a little outgoing.
Rummaging through the box, I found a tall bottle of State of Mind Body Dew. It had a friendly, slightly flowery aroma, so I decided to make it my base scent.
next, I retrieved the bottle of Victoria's Secret strawberries and champagne Body Splash and sprayed it around my chest and neck. Suddenly I realized I had crossed the point of no return — I was starting to feel a little dirty.
Finally, it was time to choose the grand finale. I saw a little bottle at the bottom of the box called Love Potion No. 9. The label read: "Just a few drops of naughty No. 9 will turn a mere mortal into the ultimate man target." I thought about it for a second and decided if I was going to go all out, I had to use Love Potion No. 9. I dropped a couple of dabs on my wrist, feeling even dirtier.
Phase four: The day
I was ready to face the world as a beacon of sensual aromas and adequate bodily moisture. But this state of beauty came at a price. Looking at the clock, I saw that I had four minutes to make it to class. I had underestimated the time of an average woman's morning routine. Usually I have to吃 breakfast and watch cartoons, but that morning I had to forgo both.
During my first class, I was disappointed that no one said a word about my scent being different or my hair having a new, healthier sheen. The girl sitting next to me kept looking at me from time to time throughout the hour with a puzzled look on her face.
After class, my friend and I decided to go the Union for lunch, and I made sure he was walking downwind from me. Finally, he spoke up.
"Dude! Are you wearing Petchouli today or something?" he asked.
I don't want to call the manufacturers of Love Potion No.9,11, but I don't think he was turned on at all.
I never will take the simplicity and efficiency of my morning bathing routine for granted again. Having dared to venture into territory that few men have experienced, I emerged wiser and more outwardly fragrant.
I suppose it wasn't too traumatic, but I don't think I'll ever be so glad to see my Head and Shoulders shampoo and my rusty can of Colgate shaving cream again.

Jayhawks try to end with a win
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The clock is about to strike midnight on Kansas' football season, and it's the same old story.
It has been a Cinderella season for the Jayhawks, but Kansas coach Terry
Allen knows what role his team is playing heading into its final game with nothing else to look forward to. Meanwhile, its opponent, Iowa State, has the satisfaction of knowing its season is not complete.
"It's been a glass-slipper year for them," Allen said. "I guess we've had the pumpkin."
When Kansas (4-6, 2-5 Big 12 Conference) plays Iowa State at 1 p.m. tomorrow in Ames, Iowa, it will mark the third year in a row that Kansas is playing for nothing in its finale.
The Jayhawks have not been to a bowl game since 1905, and the last time Kansas played its final game with a reason to win was 1997, when the Jayhawks needed a victory at Texas to become bowl-eligible.
Iowa State (73, 4-3 Big 12) likely will go to a bowl game for the first time since 1978, regardless of the outcome of this game. Kansas has said all the right things about this game: It wants to show pride, to have a better record and a better chance at recruiting this off-season.
"It's always easier to recruit when you're winning." Allen said.
That has made this year all the more difficult because Iowa State has been winning and Kansas has not. Allen thinks the two teams are very similar. For one, Allen and Cyclones coach Dan McCarney are close friends, having grown up together in Iowa

City, Iowa. The two teams run similar offensive plays and have nearly identical defensive philosophies.
"It hurts because we think that could be us," said senior quarterback Dylen Smith. "It could be the other way around."
See IOWA STATE on page 3B
The Cyclones may have the glass slipper, but they've also had the benefit of a bigger shoe to work with — a little more room for error. Surely the Jayhawks shattered their hopes of a fairy-tale season by losing the opener at Southern Methodist. What was supposed to be a sure victory left Kansas 0-1 and struggling to break even the rest of the season. Assuming Kansas won in Dallas and every other game had the same outcome, the Jayhawks would be playing for a possible bowl berth tomorrow.

Boschee to revisit past as 'Hawks battle Sioux

And the familiar faces won't just be in the stands, either. Jeff
"There are some pretty big Kansas followers in Valley City because of Jeff," said Jeff Colvenson, Valley City, N.D., resident. "But there will be some tree rooting against them, tomorrow, too, since they are playing North Dakota."
So tonight, when Mike Boschee's alma mater and Jeff Boschee's Jayhawks battle at Allen Fieldhouse, it's not only a big deal in eastern Kansas, but eastern North Dakota, as well.
Indeed, the entire state is wrapped up in Boschee mania. Both Valley City and the University of North Dakota chartered buses to Kansas to check out their native son take on their native team. Next season, when Kansas travels to North Dakota to take on the Fighting Sioux, the University will move from its usual basketball arena to the football team's domed stadium to handle all the ticket requests.
Kansas will play North Dakota at 7 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.
Tonight, Jeff Boschee's past will return to visit him in Lawrence.
North Dakota was where Mike Boschee and his younger brother Jeff grew up around basketball together. That's where both would become stars for the local high school, albeit 12 years apart. And that's where both would move onto college basketball, Mike Boschee to Division II North Dakota where he graduated in 1990, and Jeff Boschee to national powerhouse Kansas.
Yes, it will be more warm fuzzies than cold shoulders tonight, when the memories will flow for Jeff Boschee.
"I don't really think it was that big a thing to turn down the University of North Dakota to come to Kansas," Jeff Boschee said. "It's a pretty logical choice."
"Jeff was a big Sioux fan," Glass said. "I remember him running in the bleachers with my son at our games. Unfortunately for us, he got too good and couldn't come to
"We knew he had the offer to go to a major college." Glas said. "Then he went to Nike Camp the summer before his senior year of high school, and it was all over for us. But we're extremely excited for Jeff."
North Dakota coach Rich Glas said the feeling was mutual. Although Glas gladly would have had Jeff Boschee on his team, he knew Boschee could do better.
Bosche played with Sioux guard Tom Jacobson on a summer league team, and he played against some of the other North Dakota players while in high school.
"I don't think I'll get emotional," Jeff Boschee said. "But it'll be fun to play against all of the guys I played against when I was in high school and see how much they improved."
Jeff Boschee could have been teammates with those same players, but both he and North Dakota coach Rich Glas thought Jeff Boschee's move to Kansas was a logical choice. Considering the Fighting Sioux are a Division II school, and Jeff Boschee was a McDonald's All-American coming out of high school, the marriage didn't make much sense to either side.
Jeff Boschie shares the memories. "Me and my brother were really close, and we got to every home game and every away game that we possibly could," Boschie said.

UND."
Jeff Boschee shares the memories.
"I don't really think they're too worried about North Dakota, really," Jeff Boschee said.
With his knowledge of North Dakota, Jeff Boschee would be a natural scout of the Sioux. But he said his teammates weren't exactly banging down his door to gain an edge.
Kansas basketball notes
Apparently, the Jayhawks' Big 12 Conference opponents don't have a very high opinion of coach Roy Williams. In Sports Illustrated's college basketball preview, which hit newstands yesterday, one player from each team in the conference was asked which coach he would least like to play for. The winner, with 25 percent of the vote, was Williams.
"He's overrated," one unidentified player told the magazine. "He had a team one year that had six first- and second-round picks, and he hasn't won a championship yet."
The winner of the opposing coach players would most like to play for was Missouri's Quin Snyder. Kansas also lost out on the "toughest place to play" category. That honor went to Oklahoma State's Gallagher-Iba Arena.

Injuries plague centers on women's team
By Zac Hunter

The starting lineup of the Kansas women's basketball team will most likely change from week to week, and the position that is most hotly contested is center.
Juniors Kristin Geoffroy and Nikki White are batting each day in practice for playing time. Junior Dalchon Brown also is in the mix for time, but a back injury has kept her on the sidelines for the first part of the season. Brown played only five minutes in the first exhibition game against the Basketball Travelers.
She also said some days her ankle felt
"It won't keep me out of games," White said.
"She didn't have a chance to show everything she has," coach Marian Washington said.
White started against the Travelers, but she played only 13 minutes because of an ankle problem. In those 13 minutes, White grabbed three rebounds and
Now, fixing that problem has led to another. White adjusted the way she runs and jumps to accommodate her knee, and that has led to problems with her ankle. However, she said the difficulties with her ankle would not be as bad as the those she had with her knee.
The ankle soreness is a result of White's knee problems. Off-season surgery for cartilage under the kneecap caused her to miss the entire 1998-99 season. White has had seven surgeries, but she said the last major operation fixed the knee.
scored only one point, but Washington said she was happy.
"We've got to see how she's responding," Washington said. "She ran well and she got off her feet."
better than others.
"My knee is doing a lot better than last year," she said.
Despite Geoffroy's 16 points being a far cry from the 2.7 she averaged last season, she and the rest of the frontcourt know it can get better.
Although White got the start, it was Geoffroy that stole the show off the bench. She finished with 16 points in 23 minutes.
"If Kristin Geoffroy keeps playing the way she is playing, it will be fun," Washington said.
— Edited by Warisa Chulindra
"As soon as a couple of us get more consistent, we are going to be dominating the paint." Geoffroy said.

White said that Geoffroff pushed her in practice every day and that the best way to maximize the talent at center was for both players to get minutes.
"We both have different strengths, and Coach is going to combine them." White added.

Dating policy, crushing bones will make XFL raging success
Maybe it's the sudden drop in the temperatures or maybe it's a lack of lovin' in my life, but I wanna fight.
There was Jake "The Snake" Roberts, Jimmy "Superfly" Snuka, the Rockers. They were around when wrestling was real. No wimpy characters such as The Rock, who has to stage his every move. I wanna jump in the ring and not know what's going to happen. I wanna see someone get their head torn off, and preferably not mine.
I don't want just to slap someone either. I want to be the main event on Smackdown on Thursday nights. I can hold my own in the wrestling ring — I used to catch World Wrestling Federation and World Championship Wrestling events when I was younger.
there's no such thing as a fair catch and there's no kicking an extra-point.
So that's why I'm excited about the XFL, the new football league created by WWF mastermind Vince McMahon and NBC. It's more hard-core than the NFL — there's no such thing as a fair catch game — in kicking an extra-point
Lawrence Taylor, dig out your cleats.
The XFL could eat the NFL for lunch.
Granted, some of its players might have served jail time, and yes, Dick Butkus is the director of football competition. We all have our flaws.
But with better announcers, a fun dating policy and inventive names reminiscent of BASEketball, I put my reputation behind the success of the new league. But I also sat through an entire Spice Girls concert, so I may be a little off-base.
The voices
ABC has Dennis Miller. FOX has Jimmy Kimmel and Jay Mohr. But NBC will soon bring "The Body" back to primetime. Announced yesterday, Jesse Ventura will venture out of the governor's mansion and into the football broadcast booth. If you think Miller makes no sense, wait until you hear Ventura wax poetically about the origin of the touchdown.
It could be worse — remember the tag-team duo of Isiah Thomas and Doug Collins in the NBA finals? Scary.
Ventura's loud-mouth mentality will bring flair to the XFL, as if the league needs to attract any more attention. But politicians in Minnesota aren't so thrilled. They think it will detract from his time spent delegating. But if I had a choice between bloodshed or a transportation board meeting, I'd take the gridiron any day.
Sure, I watch NFL games for the spiral passes and tight white pants just like any other girl. But every girl likes a good soap opera, and the XFL knows it.
Unlike other owners who frown upon players dating the cheerleaders, McMahon will encourage his players and cheerleaders to form a happy union. all for higher ratings.
"We're going to have three or four of them surround our announcers," McMahon said. "Then, when the quarterback fumbles or the wideout drops a pass—and we know who he's dating—I want our reporters right back in her face on the sidelines demanding to know whether the two of them did the wild thing last night."
If that's not genius, I don't know what is.
The teams
The Chicago Enforcers, Las Vegas Outlaws, the Orlando Rage — names that ooze bone-crushing fun. Take your kids, buy them their own Memphis Maniax stuffed animal. It's more fun than watching paint dry.
Sure, the Minnesota Vikings sound scary. And the Cleveland Browns are just a color. But the Los Angeles Xtreme are Xciting!
Although I don't think they'll be letting any girls on the teams, I can live vicariously through the league when it starts in February.
Now. I just need some booty.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 17). This year, your assignment is to obey authority gracefully and to assume authority with confidence. They are flip sides of the same coin. The pressure you're under in November inspires you to make domestic changes. Find the finances you'll need in December and learn how to do it in January. Plan renovation or relocation for February. Early work pays off in April. Heed your partnership in May. Leave your treasure hidden in June. Travel in July leads to new responsibilities in August. Write up what you've accomplished and accept accolades in September.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
A lucky break can help you connect with somebody you care about. This person is far away and may have been difficult to contact. Schedule a date or vacation together later. Make plans for a meeting with friends next week.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
(April 20-May 20) — Today it is a 7.
You could be torn between working late and getting home early. You'd rather be with family, but this could pay well. The check that's been "in the mail" for months could show up soon, but don't rely on it alone.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
You'll find it difficult to travel, even though you'd like to go. Your friend would like you to visit, too. Errands take longer than expected. Set your date for this weekend at your house. You're more likely to make that happen.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be. Don't make big investments in the market and don't buy things that are on sale, unless you're sure the quality meets your expectations. You could waste your money now, but leave it where it is.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
You may feel as if you're all alone on nobody on your side. Your partner or mate thinks quite differently on an important topic. Try looking at it from over there, and you'll understand better. That tactic might be effective at work, too.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
Be open to suggestions. Plans you've recently made will have to be modified. You didn't anticipate certain conditions. Talk with a person who's done this job before so you can see further ahead. It's good to have a friend like that.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
A meeting with friends comes to a standstill.
Nobody agrees, but they sure have a lot of interest in reasons. Get everything talked out, even if it feels as if you're spinning your wheels. Take notes and help the others weigh the pros and cons.
**scorpio** (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
Choose your words carefully to convince the others that you're correct. It'll be tough. People feel stubborn, including you. The chances of bringing others over to your side are good. Don't give up. Stay calm and state your case.
sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
A person who's far away can give you good advice and a couple of great ideas. Write it all down, even if you can't think of a use for it right now. Changes are unfolding before your eyes. Pay attention so you'll be ready.
P
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
A lot of money is going out, and some is staying in your pocket. Unexpected costs will dwindle your prof its nothing if you don't make an effort to hold onto some loot. Don't let it all slip through your fingers.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
You're pretty sure you're right, but you're not getting much agreement. Even your partner is arguing. He or she is being too emotional. An older person can be placated, but that might cost you more than this whole deal is worth.
LION
2
Pieces (Feb. 19- March 20) — Today is a 7.
A new idea you want to try might not work as well as planned. Take care. Watch for technical difficulties. Figure out what's most likely to break and fix it before it does. Now, that would make you look very good!

KANSAS BASEBALL
Three players sign 2002 letter of intent
The Kansas baseball team signed three athletes to national letters of intent to play for the Jawahres in 2002.
Chris George, a 6-foot-2 pitcher from Santa Cruz, Calif., and Adam Rochlin, a 6-0 outfielder, were teammates at Cyprus College. George will be entering his sophomore season after having limited playing time because of an injury on his non-throwing hand. Rochlin also starred on the basketball team but will focus on baseball at Kansas.
"We are extremely excited to have Chris join our ball club," coach Bobby Randall said. "He is a solid pitcher who comes from a very successful junior college. Adam is a very promising baseball player. He brings a lot of his point guard skills to the baseball field and can really cover some ground defensively."
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
The third recruit is Andy Lytle, a senior at Highlands Ranch High School in Highlands Ranch, Colo. The 6-1 shortstop set his high school's batting record last season with a .520 average while recording 39 hits in 75 at-bats. He also had a perfect 5-0 record with a 3.50 ERA as a pitcher.
"Andy put together a great high school career," Randall said. "We will look to use him primarily as a pitcher, but he could work his way into the lineup as a shortstop as well."
KANŠAS SOFTBALL
Two recruits commit enroll for Fall 2001
The Kansas softball team announced the commitment of two recruits who will enroll at Kansas in the fall of 2001.
Serena Settlemier, a pitcher from Kelso, Wash., and Lindsey Weinstein, a first baseman/outfielder from Tarzana, Calif., have both signed letters of intent for next season.
takes over the next season.
Settlemier, a three-year varsity winner and all-league performer at Kelso High School, is the reigning Gatorade State Player of the Year after finishing the 2000 season with a .408 batting average, 29 RBI and three home runs. She also accumulated a 17-2 record as a pitcher, recording 291 strikeouts and a .16 ERA.
"The addition of a quality arm that can step in right away and give us a lot of innings next year will help us out tremendously," coach Tracy Bunge said. "Her ability to hit and pitch will give us a lot of options. She has a good command of both the rise and drop balls and can also throw off speed pitches. As good as 'she is now, there is room for her to improve, and she'll continue to get better throughout her career."
Weinstein is a three-year varsity letter winner and was named Mission League Player of the Year and Chaminade High School MVP in 2000. She was also named first team all-region by the Los Angeles Times and first team All-CIF Division IV.
"Lindsey has the heart of a champion," Bunge said. "She is very polished and brings skill to our program but also possesses the intangibles we look for. She is a leader and very vocal on the field. She plays for a championship team and will bring a winning attitude to our team. She can play the outfield and help out at first base."
Texas player signs letter early in period
KANSAS TENNIS
Paige Brown, an Amarillo, Texas,

focused and determined individual. Waterman added that she was very pleased to sign Brown, who chose Kansas above Mississippi State, so early in the signing period.
"It's great to have an early signee so you can start planning ahead," she said. "I'm excited for Paige because she is a great student in addition to being a great athlete."
KANSAS ROWING
First rowing member signs with 'Hawks
The Washington, D.C., native also rowed for the Thompson Boat Club and at the U.S. Junior National Team Development Camp.
"We are very excited about having Brooke as an early signee," coach Rob Cattolio said. "It's a good start for our recruiting next season."
The Kansas rowing team signed Brooke Barnett, the captain of her rowing team at Woodrow Wilson High School, to a letter of intent. She is the first rower to sign with the Jayhawks during the early signing period.
Lawrence woman signs to play next year
KANSAS GOLF
this season and finished second at Regionals,

Kent named National League MVP
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — San Francisco's Jeff Kent beat out teammate Barry Bonds to win the National League Most Valuable Player award yesterday, becoming the first second baseman to win the award in 16 years.
Kent received 22 first-place votes, five seconds, four thirds and one fourth for 392 points in balloting by the Baseball Writers' Association of America.
Bonds, a three-time MVP winner, got six first-place votes and 279 points to give the NL West-champion Giants the first 1-2 finish for a team in the NL MVP since Bonds and Bobby Bonilla did it for Pittsburgh in 1990.
Mets catcher Mike Piazza was the only other player named on all 32 ballots, finishing with three first-place votes and 271 points.
"I'm floored that people across the country recognized the Giants and more specifically recognized me." Kent said. "I was going against tremendous, quality talent in Barry Bonds, Todd Helton, Jim Edmonds and Mike Piazza. I'm losing my breath mentioning guys like that. To win the award by that margin..."
Kent hit .334 with 13 homs and 125 RBI this season, solidifying himself as one of the best offensive second basemen in baseball. His 475 RBI in the last four seasons broke Rogers Hornsby's 75-year-
old record for most at the position over such a span.
Chiefly because of the second baseman's RBI total and knack for clutch hits, manager Dusty Baker said Kent would have gotten his MVP vote, not Bonds, perhaps swaying voters. Bonds also had praise for his teammate.
"He's been doing this ever since he got here," Bonds said in September. "The numbers he puts up for a second baseman are amazing. They're great for any player, but to do it at second base is really something."
Ryne Sandberg of the Cubs in 1984 was the last second baseman to win the MVP in either league. The only other MVP second basemen are Joe Morgan of Cincinnati (1975-76), Lainey Fox of the White Sox (1959), Jackie Robinson of the Dodgers (1949), Joe Gordon of the Yankees (1942), Charlie Gehringer of Detroit (1937) and Frank Frisch of the Cardinals (1931).
“This puts me more in a category alongside of guys like that,” Kent said. “It is truly an honor to be mentioned in the same breath as those guys. I never try to compare myself with anybody.”
Bonds hit .306 with 49 homers and 106 RBI. Bonds also scored 129 runs and walked 117 times as he almost became the first four-time MVP in baseball history. He won the awards in 1900 and 1992 in Pittsburgh and in 1993 for San Francisco.
Despite the arduous demands of crouching behind the plate every day, Piazza is one of the most feared hitters in the league. He hit .324 with 38 homers and 113 RBI this season, but wore down in September, when he hit .222.
But his work the other five months helped the Mets make the postseason in consecutive years for the first time in team history.
St. Louis' Edmons was fourth (208), followed by Colorado's Helton (198) Montreal's Vladimir Guerrero (117) Houston's Jack Bagwell (102) Atlanta's Andruw Jones (95), the Cubs' Sammy Sosa (71) and Los Angeles' Gary Sheffield (71).
Emdons, acquired in spring training from Anaheim, batted .295 with 42 homers and 109 RBI. Emdons also won a Gold Glove for his play in center field.
Helton, who flirted with 400, might have had the best year of any of the hitters, but his statistics were inflated by Coors Field and the Rockies finished fourth in the NL West.
Helton led the league in batting (372), RBI (147), slugging percentage (698), on-base percentage (463), hits (216), and doubles (59). Helton also hit 42 homers and scored 138 runs.
Kent received a $100,000 bonus on top of his $6 million salary. Piazza got $75,000 and Helton received $50,000.

Offense: Iowa State quarterback Sage Rosenfels leads a team ranking 26th nationally in total offense at 416.3 yards per game. Kansas jumped out to a 14-0 lead in last year's loss to Texas before it nosedived. Oh, by the way, the Jayhawk defense outscores the offense last week, 9-7.
Advantage: Iowa State
Defensa: Kansas' defense has allowed players back into the Heisman Trophy race in the past, but Iowa State's attack isn't nearly as vicious as what the Jayhawks saw in their last three losses to Texas Tech, Nebraska and Texas. Advantage: Kansas

Allen made it clear that if Kansas had had a chance at a bowl game, it would win this one. But that motivation is out the window. Advantage: Iowa State

Cyclones likely to go to first bowl since 1978
By Allan Davis
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Before Iowa State coach Dan McCarney arrived in 1995, the Cyclones were a doormat in the old Big 8 Conference. The previous coach, Jim Walden, had a record of 10-32-2 during his last four years on the job.
Success didn't come easily for McCarney; his record entering this season was 13-42.
The Cyclones are enjoying their first winning season since 1989 and will be going to their first bowl game since 1978.
Now, six years after McCarny took charge at Iowa State, the Cyclones are 7-3, 4-3 in the Big 12 Conference and likely headed to a yet-to-be determined bowl game.
Although the Cyclones already
are bowl-eligible, they do have motivation to beat Kansas on Saturday: A victory might mean they go to a better bowel. The bowls aren't likely to pick Iowa State ahead of Oklahoma, Kansas State, Texas, Nebraska or Texas A&M. However, if the Cyclones win tomorrow and Texas Tech loses to Oklahoma, Iowa State will finish 8-3, and the Red Raiders will be 7-5.
Kansas' season has taken a different turn, however, as the Jayhawks were eliminated from bowl consideration.
Kansas coach Terry Allen has a 2-1 record against Iowa State, including last year's dramatic 31-28 win at Memorial Stadium.
Allen said keeping the team ready to play the final game last year was different from this year. The Jayhawks have lost three games in a row and have
been eliminated from bowl consideration this year.
"it was a different mindset," he said. "We were breaking a lot of newer people in and they were getting settled into the program. Dylen (Smith) was only starting his fourth or fifth game, and we hadn't lost three consecutive ones that put you out of it. That makes it a little harder."
The Cyclones, who won last week at Colorado, have a strong offensive team and rank 28th nationally in total offense, gaining an average of 416.3 yards per game.
Senior quarterback Sage Rosenfels is 23rd in the nation in total offense and fourth in the Big 12 in total offense with an average of 246.2 yards. Last Saturday against Colorado, he ran for 140 yards after averaging 21.7 yards during Iowa State's first nine
games.
Rosenfels has been sacked only six times this season, the secondlowest total nationally.
Rosenfelts will be throwing to a group of receivers led by J.J. Moses, a 5-foot-6, 170 pound senior. Moses leads the team in receptions with 50. He also has 16 carries for 153 yards and has scored two touchdowns on reverses.
Iowa State also has a potent running game. Junior running back Ennis Haywood is the leading rusher in the Big 12 and is ranked 14th in the nation. He averages 11.6 yards per game.
Reggie Hayward, a 1999 honorable mention All-Big 12 defensive end, leads Iowa State with 86 tackles. However, he can't be everywhere, and the Cyclone defense yields 417.1 yards per
game in total offense, which ranks 97th in the nation. Also, Iowa State is 100th in rushing defense, yielding 202.1 yards per game.
Marc Timmons, 5-foot-9 and 168 pounds, is slated to start tomorrow at free safety in place of four-year starter Dustin Avey, who left the Missouri game three weeks ago after suffering a stinger. Timmons has started two of the last three games.
Iowa State coach Dan McCarney said Timmons was performing well.
"Marc stepped in and did a lot of good things, made big plays," McCarney said. "He's not the biggest safety in the Big 12, but he's got tenacity, he's got timing and he's really coachable."

Sooners, Wildcats look to clinch Big12 divisions
By Allan Davis
Kansan sportswriter
No. 1 Oklahoma (90, 60 Big 12 Conference) visits Texas Tech (7-4, 3-4) tomorrow in what should probably be the best Big 12 game of the week.
If Oklahoma wins, it clinches the Big 12 Conference South Division and will play in the Dr Pepper Big 12 Championship game. A win in that game would propel the Sooners into the national championship game.
The two opposing quarterbacks, Oklahoma's Josh Heupel and Texas Tech's Kliff Kingsbury, can
be expected to fill the air with footballs. Heupel averages 307.8 yards passing per game, and Kingsbury averages 283.9 yards per game.
Heupel also leads the Big 12 in total offense, averaging 320.3 yards per game; Kingsbury is second, with an average of 283.5 yards per game.
The Sooners lead the nation in scoring offense, registering 44.7 points per game. The Red Raiders, despite Kingsbury's impressive numbers, average only 26.4 points per game.
Texas Tech coach Mike Leach was Oklahoma's offensive coordinator last season.
No. 9 Kansas State (9-2, 5-2) at Missouri (3-7, 2-5)
if K-State wins this game, it wins the Big 12 North Division and will play in the Big 12 Championship game.
Missouri is probably over-matched and should be an easy meal for the Wildcats, who are strong offensively and defensively.
K-State is second in the Big 12 and 15th nationally in rushing offense with an average of 207.9 yards per game. It also leads the Big 12 in total defense, yielding an average of 268.1 yards per game, which is third nationally. The Wildcats rank first in the Big 12 in rushing defense, allowing only
94. 4 yards per game.
Tiger running back Zain Gilmore, who for 110 yards last week against Baylor, will test the K-State rush defense.
The Missouri defense, led by defensive end Justin Smith, recorded 10 sacks against Baylor last Saturday. Smith had four sacks.
K-State has won seven in a row against Missouri and won 66-0 last year in Manhattan.
Tiger coach Larry Smith is 0-6 against K-State.
Baylor (2-8, 0-7) at Oklahoma State (2-7, 0-6)
The good news: One of these two teams has to win. There are no
more ties. The bad news: the loser will be the only team in the Big 12 without at least one conference win.
Oklahoma State's Reggie White, a junior running back, needs 73 yards to break the 1,000-yard mark.
Aso Pogi, a freshman, will start at quarterback for the Cowboys. Pogi has completed 116 of 209 passes for 1,277 yards and five touchdowns.
Baylor is also likely to start a freshman at quarterback. Last week, Josh Zachary became the fourth quarterback to start for Baylor this season.

Iowa State, Kansas share similarities
Continued from page 1B
to." Allen said. "We didn't."
Iowa State started the season 4-0, beating Ohio, UNLV and Iowa before opening conference play with Big 12-doormat Baylor. On the other hand, Kansas rallied after its opening defeat and beat Alabama-Birmingham, which had a terrific season and is looking at a bowl bid.
Besides the similar nonconference opponents, the two teams have had equal results against conference foes. Each team lost to Nebraska and Kansas State, and each team beat Missouri and Colorado.
The major difference has come in games against the other half of the Big 12. Iowa State played Big 12 South teams Baylor, Oklahoma State — both winless in the Big 12 — and Texas A&M. Kansas played Oklahoma, Texas and Texas Tech, all losses against teams that will be bowl-bound.
"Maybe, if you flip the schedules, that's us going." Smith said.
After the SMU game, Allen knew Kansas might be in trouble after dropping a game it thought it would win.
"I'll never forget walking off the field thinking, 'Is this one going to come back to haunt us?" Allen said.
But Allen remains optimistic about this game. Kansas has 20 seniors who will suit up for the final time, but Allen vows Kansas will not play everybody if it means sacrificing victory. But it will be cold in Ames, and Kansas can gain little from a victory.
And the Jayhawks have no preconceived notion they can change the storyline.

Commentary Election 2004 has a tough act to follow
By Frazier Moore The Associated Press
NEW YORK - As we continue to sort out Election Year 2000, another task lies on the horizon.
In a joint television appearance that was widely covered and repeatedly excerpted by news outlets, Gore lent their skills at self-padroy to Saturday Night Live in a 90-second sketch seen by five times more viewers than their 30-minute solo, noncomedic sessions on Fox a week earlier.
This was a presidential campaign in which the rivals were seen on TV yukking it up with Jay Leno and David Letterman seemingly as much as talking policy with Tim Russert and Sam Donaldson.
In 2004, we need wiscrews as great as the American people. And we need a great leader to deliver them.
We've got to get cracking on Campaign 2004.
Why continue to accept our candidates from the world of politics, then expect them to remake themselves into world-class entertainers? For the 2004 presidential race, why not make things easy and nominate seasoned comedians?
Adding to the muddle, it seems the buttons on their remote controls confused some viewers, so they aren't sure they punched the channel they meant to.
The challenge will be great. This go-around, election night erupted after months of apathy from the voters, studied blandness from major-party candidates, restlessness from the media.
To give credit where it's due, voters played a pivotal role by finessing that cliffhanger between George W. Bush and Al Gore. Then the newcasters, bless 'em, whipped suspense into vaudeville when they called the election for Bush — then, stunningly, un-called it.
This year, the virtue of Gore and Bush as statesmen or polls was beside the point. In the area that really counts for most of us — their stature as entertainers — they clearly proved lacking.
Without warning, viewers were treated to plot twists! Conflicts! Mystery! False leads! Highly paid anchors with egg on their face! Even odd new terms like "butterfly ballot" and "hanging chad!" The networks' coverage of this presidential whowonit has been the best fall programming in years!

'Hawks meet surging Tigers
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Tigers assess and stalk their prey, waiting for the perfect time to pounce. Then they savor their victims, and, once satiated, they celebrate by sunbathing, content in the grass.
This year, the Missouri Tigers have had continuously full bellies.
The Tigers are 22-5 and 12-5 in the Big 12 Conference with two games left and have just broken back into the rankings, checking in at No. 25.
"They're a very patient, very steady team," coach Ray Beachard said. "It takes a very consistent effort to win over that."
And if consistency is what it will take, the Jayhawks would want to be the most consistent team in the conference. At 7 tomorrow night, the Jayhawks (14-13, 5-13) will take to the court for their last home game of the season. For the team's four seniors — outside hitters Amy Myatt, Nancy Bell and Sara Kidd, and middle blocker Danielle Geronymo — leaving the Horejsi Family Athletics Center with a victory would be golden.
"It would be of huge importance if we won this match," said junior setter Molly LaMere. "We've been talking about winning it for the seniors all week."
The victory is entirely possible for the Jayhawks, who have won five of the past nine meetings between the two teams since the formation of the Big 12 in 1996. However, the 'Hawks fell in four games (13-15, 15-11, 12-15, 8-15) to

the Tigers on Oct. 11 in Columbia. Missouri leads the series between the two schools, 32-30. But on the volleyball court, the Border War isn't a big factor.
The Tigers are tough because of their well-rounded nature.
"There's not a huge rivalry, but I guess just the history of Kansas and Missouri in other sports will add interest to the match," Bechard said. "It's an opportunity to play against a really tough team."
"They're really well balanced," Bechard said. "They are not an overly physical team, but they've got a great mix between their blocking and digging."
It's a good thing Kansas' seniors can all smack, stuff and dive for the ball. Myatt leads in kills, Geronomyo leads in blocks and digs, Bell is second in kills and blocks and third in digs, while Kidd came off an early-season ankle injury to become one of Kansas' most consistent servers.
"They've worked so hard this season." LaMere said. "They've picked it up so much, filling in places for everybody last year."
And now the team and the seniors hope to pick up a victory in front of the players' families, most of whom are expected to attend.
"We're going to honor our seniors," Bechard said. "But the most important thing for them is how they do on the court." Edited by Emin McDaniel

The Grambling State women's basketball team will be looking to repeat the dream season it had last year. And one thing is for sure: It isn't going to let the Kansas women's basketball team stand in its wav.
The Tigers, who will face the Jayhawks at 2:05 tomorrow afternoon at Allen Fieldhouse, finished first in the Southwestern Athletic Conference last season, registering a perfect 16:0 league record for their fifth straight SWAC title. They gave no mercy to the teams in their conference, winning games by 20 points or more.
Their 25-5 overall record gave them the opportunity to make their fourth appearance at the NCAA tournament, but lost in the first round to Alabama.
Besides the NCAA tournament, the Tigers also hold the nation's longest home-court winning streak at 62. The Tigers are on their fifth consecutive season with 20 or more wins.
Grambling was described as a rugged, quick powerhouse team last season, and that is exactly the kind of team Kansas coach Marian Washington expects to see tomorrow.
"They are a very quick, scrapy and scrambling type of ball club." Washington said. "They shoot from the outside really well, and their forwards are quick and mobile."
WOMEN'S BASKETBALL
**What:** Kansas (0-0) versus Grambling State (0-1)
**When:** 2:05 p.m. tomorrow
**Where:** Allen Fieldhouse
The Jayhawks might see a different team tomorrow because the Tigers lost seven players from last season's squad and are rebuilding.
But Grambling coach David "Rusty" Ponton said he didn't see it as rebuilding season, but a reloading season.
This was the best recruiting season ever at Grambling. The Tigers recruited seven players.
One of the biggest recruits this season was Shrieka Evans, a 5-8 guard from Lisbon's Pineview High School. Evans led the Tigers in scoring in their first game against Tulane. She was one of three players who scored more than 13 points, but her 15 points couldn't prevent the Tigers from losing to Tulane, 92-64.
Ponton is looking forward to playing the Jayhawks and coaching against Washington.
"We're looking forward to playing against one of the best coaches to coach the game of women's basketball," he said. "I have always had the utmost respect for Coach Washington. They have an excellent team, and we're really excited about coming there."

Sioux prepare to meet older, bigger Jayhawks
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
North Dakota men's basketball coach Rich Glas said he hoped his team could play well against Kansas at Allen Fieldhouse tonight, but it will have to do it without its mustard.
Chad Mustard, whose 16.8 points per game led the Sloux last year, was one of five seniors who graduated from a squad that went 23-8 for the season.
"You don't like to lose five seniors in one year, but we did, and those kids had a nice run," said coach Rich Glas. "We're very young, but we have three seniors back and
they're the only guys that played much for us last year."
Those seniors are guard Curtis Munlin, and forwards Tom Jacobson and Kyle Behrens. Jacobson is the leading returning scorer at 7.6 points per game. Behrens scored 7.2 per game and Munlin chipped in five points per game.
In addition to Mustard, Hunter Reinke and Marcus Travis were the only other double-digit scorers in the lineup. Both are gone.
The Sioux will have to catch up on their scoring somewhere, and Glas said he didn't know where it would come from.
"We don't have much returning as far as our scoring is concerned, and that is going to be a concern for us as we head into our
season," Glas said. "But 'I'll be disappointed if we tippy-toe around and don't make good shots when we have good looks at the basket. We need to play our best basketball, and if we get all nervous and uptight then (that won't happen)."
Glas said nerves might be a problem because his team was so young. Four freshmen, a junior college transfer and a redshirt junior are all on the squad. Five other redshirt freshmen are also on the roster.
"(Most of) the guys are basically freshmen so it's going to be quite an indoctrination for them, so we just told them we were going to play our butts off." Glas said. "I'd be disappointed if we didn't play hard. We just have to be fearless because there's no
excuse to be afraid. Let's just go play the best and see how we stack up."
Stacking up may not be the best choice of words considering Kansas' size advantage. The Jayhawks' front line features 7-foot-1 Eric Chenowith, and 6-10 Nick Collison and Drew Gooden. North Dakota's centers are 6-9 and 6-7.
Junior center Jeff Carey also may see increased playing time. Standing at 6-foot-10, Carey's extra height won't do anything to ease the Sloux's woes.
"One thing I do need to do is give Jeff Carey some more minutes," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "(Against UCLA) he made a few bad passes in front of our basket, but he's been playing hard and I need
to get him some more minutes."
Regardless, Glas said his team would not alter its game plan to adjust to the Jayhawks' size advantage.
"We do a lot of the same things that they do, as far as their transition game," Glas said. "We're not going to do anything real different with our defense to try to do something in this game. Especially with such a young basketball team we've got to stick to the basics as to how we're going to defend, how we're going to do things. We can't get all hung up on Kansas because no matter what we do to them, they're gonna find a way to get it done. We just wanna go there and play hard; play well."

Housing harbors stuck students
By J.D. McKen

Kansas staff writer
Thanksgiving may be a time for many students to give thanks, but not for those forced to stay at McCollum Hall during Thanksgiving break.
McCollum is the only residence hall open during the break. Students who live in one of the closed residence halls and have nowhere to go must move into McCollum for the duration of the break. All other residence halls close at 11 p.m. tomorrow and reopen at 8 a.m. on Sunday, Nov. 26.
Kevin O'Connor, Norwood, Mass., sophomore, will move out of Oliver Hall to stay in McCollum during the break. He wasn't happy about the accommodations.
"It's very minimal," he said. "They put little or no effort into it."
O'Connor stayed at McCollum last Thanksgiving as well as during spring breaks.
"It's not like I want to do it, but I have to do it," he said.
O'Connor said he didn't go home for the holiday because airline tickets were expensive and he would be going home for winter break.
Kent Lavene, complex director of McCollum, said students would be given a room and a bed with little amenities.
Lavene also said that the rooms were smaller than the regular rooms in McCollum.
"There's no telephone service or television access," he said.
He said that students did, however, have access to the lounge, the game room and the kitchen.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said there weren't enough students staying in the halls to keep them all open.
"It becomes a very expensive proposition." he said.
Students who live in McCollum during the semester don't have to move out during the break, however.
Stoner said students who knew they would have to stay in the residence halls could choose to live in McCollum so they

wouldn't have to relocate.
"It's advertised and published in advance," he said. "If you choose to live somewhere else, you have to relocate."
Lavene said McColllon residents could keep their own rooms as long as they paid the required $42 fee. Altogether, he said he expected about 12 students to stay at
McCollum.
O'Connor said the biggest challenges of staying on campus during the break were finding food and entertainment.
"Besides trying not to go insane, trying to find food takes up a lot of my time," he said. "There is nothing open on Thanksgiving. I had to eat at Burger King last year."
O'Connor said he spent a lot of time driving up and down 23rd and Iowa streets trying to find something open. He also said he bought a lot of prepackaged food.
"There's nothing to do and nowhere to go," he said. "My day is just trying to get to the next day."
Lavene said rooms rented out during break are reserved specifically for that purpose.
"We don't fill those rooms any other time of the year than break," he said.
Lavene said security would be provided for the temporary residents and break resident assistants would also be in the hall.

Student reaches finals for MTV's The Real World
By Kursten Phelps
By Kursten Phelps writer kansan.com Kanson staff writer
This is a true story about a University of Kansas student who is a finalist for MTV's The Real World.
Thomas Franklin Independence senior, is one of 100 finalists for the next season of The Real World, which will
Franklin said his experiences as an African American growing up in a predominantly caucasian envi-
house in Harlem, N.Y., and videotape their every move.
I am a 47 year old man living in the US. I work as a software engineer. I have been working on various projects for over a decade. I am confident that I can provide you with high-quality solutions to your needs. If you need any help, please contact me.
Franklin: has been selected as one of 100 finalists
ronment might have been what made his application stand out from the thousands of other videotapes and applications sent in.
"I think they might be looking at me as sort of a fish-out-of-water because I'm not from a big town," he said. "I'm Black, my hometown is pretty much all White people, and now I'm at KU and president of a fraternity
that's pretty much all White people."
If selected to be on the show, Franklin, president of Phi Kappa Tau fraternity, would spend six months in Harlem, a predominantly African-American New York neighborhood known as a center for African-American culture.
He said he had watched the show before and had decided to submit a video application for fun.
"I just thought, 'Why not try it?' Franklin said. "I just shot it here on campus and told stuff about myself, my hometown and the stuff I'm involved in at KU!"
Along with his position in Phi Kappa Tau, Franklin is a journalism senator.
The next step would be to interview for a spot as one of the last 20 finalists for The Real World and Road Rules, a spinoff that puts six strangers in an RV to the test with daring missions and cramped quarters on the ultimate road trip.
he then got a call from MTV telling him he was one of the 100 first-round finalists. He had a week after that to fill out a 15-page application.
"I don't want to say too much," Franklin said. "I don't want to jinx myself. I just have to be

KU is a traitor to 'Pepsi or die' students
ay Meghan Bainum
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Holly Hearting is a Mountain Dew fanatic. Though she understands why the University decided to switch to only Coke, she still is not happy about it.
"What happened to freedom of choice?"
asked Hearting, Wakeeney senior.
"Somewhere they could have a Pepsi machine, or two Pepsi machines — but they have zero."
University officials signed a contract with Coke for exclusive soft-drink vending rights three years ago.
Hearing has found the one place near campus that still sells Pepsi products like Mountain Dew — The Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road.
She said that if not for this machine, she would be forced to drink Coke. She is so opposed to Coke, she is willing to make special trips up the hill just for a cold can of non-Coke refreshment.
"I'm in Learned a lot, and I always have to go outside in the cold and go to Jayhawk bookstore," Hearting said. "Their Pepsi machine is the only one that's close."
the bookstore stands alone in Pepsi distribution. Neither of the other businesses on the hill, Yello Sub and The Glass Onion, 624 W.12th St., sell Pepsi products.

WaKeenev senior
Bill Muggy, owner of the Jayhawk Bookstore, said he was happy to give students a choice in beverages. He said as long as students continued to buy Pepsi products, which are available both inside the store and in the machine outside, he would continue to carry them.
He said he felt the same way about carrying Pepsi as he did about selling cigarettes after the University removed cigarette machines on campus.
"I will try to be competitive or take advantage of University decisions," Muggy said. "It's important for students to have options."
John Rader, Anchorage, Alaska, freshman, said he was another Pepsi addict. He said he didn't realize the Jayhawk Bookstore carried the Pepsi products like Diet Dr. Pepper and Mountain Dew he loves, so he had been walking for 30 minutes to a gas station that sells the products.
"I'll get Mr. Pibb and Diet Coke," he said. Hearting, who said she would only drink Coke "under dire situations," is dependent on the lone Pepsi machine at the top of the hill.
"If they got rid of their Pepsi machine I don't know what I would do," she said. "I'd be in big trouble."

Doggy daycare offers solution for Lawrence pet owners
By Andrea Burnett
Special to the Kansan
"A long time ago, when I first moved to Lawrence, I worked at the animal shelter," she said. "One of the main reasons people brought dogs to the shelter was because they felt guilty leaving them home alone during the day."
someplace Like Home Doggy Daycare, 2140 Haskellm Ave., opened its doors last Monday to the canine community, and owner Janet Trombley said the business had been a long time coming.
Lawrence has a new daycare, but it won't be full of screaming toddlers: This one caters to the four-legged and furry.
"I still wanted to do something for the dogs that were out there," she said. "I began reading books and doing research on the Internet." One year later, her business is up and running.
After becoming a veterinary technician, Trombley began to work at a veterinary clinic — but something was missing.
With a small staff and the resources to care for as many as 20 dogs, the daycare is ready for its canine inhabitants.
Janet Trombley Home Doggy Daycare owner
"We are here for the dogs. We are also here for the owners,but the dogs come first. They need to be here. They need to play,they need to have fun and they need to be able to
Trombley said she wanted pet owners to know what her priorities were.
"We are here for the dogs," she said. "We are also here for the owners, but the dogs come first. They need to be here. They need to play, they need to have fun and they need to be able to socialize."
Her business is set up somewhat like a child's daycare. Giant gyms and toy dot the many rooms created to house the dogs. Trombley's son Tim, who works at the daycare, said he found the environment comfortable.
"We have 10 dogs of our own, so it's kind of
Trombley said her fees were actually lower than other doggy daycare businesses she looked into.
"Basically, when I first looked on the East and West Coast, I knew there was no way I could charge those prices," she said. "I talked to the people in Kansas City and found out that my prices were comparable to thelrs."

The Doggy Daycare costs $17 a day and is open from 6 a.m. to 6 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Though the price may seem high, it's still only half the price of a child's daycare.
Jeralyn Phillips, owner of Country Meadow Boarding Kennel, 660 E.1452 Road, said the daycare was a first in Lawrence.
Trombley said she was happy to do something for people who are passionate about their dogs.
"It's kind of a new thing around here," Phillips said. "It's been big in other places, but not locally."

"I thought that this was something I could do for people and their animals so they felt like they could keep them," she said. "People who really want to keep their animals will find a way. This is a way."

Discredited ballots upset Florida tally
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The tallying of overseas absentee ballots added to George W. Bush's lead in Florida, as expected. A surprising number of ballots were thrown out, railing cries of

Bush: overseas ballots gave him the lead in Florida
ALFRED JOHNSON
Gore: his campaign said the GOP had their own army out
foul play from the Bush campaign.
Altogether, some 2,200 overseas ballots were accepted and counted. While Republicans complained of a coordinated effort by Democrats aimed against ballots from military personnel, the Gore campaign decided GOP "misinformation and conspiracy theories" and said the Republicans had their own army out for the county-by-county battle.
"We are distressed at what appears to be a statewide effort on behalf of Al Gore to discredit the votes of military servicemen and women." Bush campaign representative Mindy Tucker said Friday night, after more than 1,400 overseas ballots had been rejected.
Jury denies prejudging officers in L.A. scandal
"It was local, elected Florida elections officials who decided whether to accept these ballots," Gore representative Jenny Backus said.
"No, I did not say that, that wouldn't be something they'd even utter, because the law says they're innocent until proven guilty." Victor Flores told KNB-CTV after a Superior Court judge scheduled a hearing next week to get to the bottom of the matter.
LOS ANGELES — The foreman of jury for the Los Angeles police corruption scandal denied an alternate juror's allegations that he and others prejudged the defendants' guilt. The jury convicted the first three officers to go to trial.
A second juror also told The Associated Press on Friday that jurors acted without bias. Defense lawyers said if the alternate juror's allegations were true then Wednesday's convictions should be thrown out.
The jury of seven women and five men convicted Sgt. Brian Liddy, Sgt. Edward Ortiz and Officer Michael Buchanan of conspiracy and other
crimes involving the framing of gang members four years ago. Officer Paul Harper was acquitted of all charges.
The four were the first members of the now-defunct Rampart station antigang unit to be tried on charges based on the allegations of ex-Officer Rafael Perez, who said officers beat, robbed, framed and sometimes shot innocent people in the city's tough Rampart neighborhood near downtown.
A&M students recall tragic bonfire collapse
COLLEGE STATION, Texas — More than 25,000 people weathered driving rain Saturday to observe the one-year anniversary of the collapse of a log bonfire that killed 1.2 Texas A&M students.
"It was a healthy night for our university," said student Ricky Wood. "For some it brought closure."
Students and others huddled under umbrellas on the muddy campus polo fields for a memorial ceremony at 2:42 a.m. — the exact place and time the 59-foot log stack collapsed Nov. 18, 1999.
The log stack, weighing more than two jumbo jets, toppled while it was being assembled for the school's annual pep rally on the eve of its football game against archival Texas. Besides those killed, 27 were injured
Texas A&M President Ray Bowen announced in June the traditional bonfire would continue, but not until at least 2002 and only with greater school supervision and a professionally engineered design.
Adoption day helps children find homes
NEW YORK — Thousands of children who have endured abuse and neglect were legally — and quickly — given loving homes on the first national "Adoption Saturday."
The not-for-profit Alliance for Children's Rights organized the nationwide campaign to expedite about 2,500 adoptions of children from foster care.
"The time spent shuttling between foster homes or in limbo waiting to be adopted by a caring family can seem like an eternity to a young child," said Judith Kaye, New York state's chief judge.
New York's Family Court heard 209 adoptions of children ages 2 to 13 Saturday, a record for a court that normally hears about 3,000 foster-care cases and 300 private adoptions a year
Other cities that participated in the single-day adoption were Los Angeles; Chicago; Omaha, Neb.; Columbus, Ohio.; and Dallas, El Paso and Fort Worth, Texas.
Many of the adopted children were victims of abuse or neglect. Some had drug addicted parents who did not respond to treatment. Many were adopted by family members or their foster families.
In Omaha, Tracey and John Wirthilin
adopted siblings Brooke, 13, and David, 12, on Saturday. The couple had been waiting for four years to adopt.
Conference questions NATO's role in Kosovo
DAYTON, Ohio — Five years after the Dayton Peace Accords ended the war in Bosnia, the future of NATO peacekeeping troops in Kosovo took center stage at an international conference to mark the anniversary of the agreement.
The head of Kosovo's majority party said NATO peacekeeping troops should remain indefinitely to protect against external threats.
Speaking at a news conference during the forum attended by Balkan leaders and U.S. diplomats, Ibrahim Rugova said a long-term NATO presence in Kosovo is crucial to the stability of the region.
"We urge for those forces to stay there may be forever," the moderate ethnic Albanian leader said. "In the future it may have a different role, a presence in the region with bases in Kosovo. I consider the presence of NATO there as part of our independence."
A group of international experts recommended NATO peacekeepers remain in Bosnia and Kosovo to ensure security, but it said their presence could continue to be reduced. It also recommended the international community initiate a process for the self-government of Kosovo.
Vojislav Kostunica, Yugoslavia's new pro-democracy president, opposes Kosovo's independence.

Clinton praises work to return lost veterans
TIEN CHAU, Vietnam — Eyes brimming President Clinton stood with the sons of an American pilot shot down 33 years ago by the rice paddy where U.S. and Vietnamese workers are digging for his remains, and said they should have "a chance finally to take their father home."
He promised America "will not rest until we have achieved the fullest possible accounting for our lost veterans."
At a recovery site between the railroad bridge Capt. Lawrence Evert was trying to bomb and a mud brick hamlet where villagers heard the thunder of the crash on Nov. 8, 1967, Clinton praised Vietnamse cooperation in the search for Americans still missing in the war, and promised to do "all we can" to help them find their missing, too.
"This common endeavor we make as friends is unprecedented in all of human history," Clinton said, standing on a bamboo-supported platform beside the pit where Vietnamese workers dig through the muddy soil and pass it, bucket-by-bucket, up a line to be screened for wreckage or remains. — The Associated Press

But for now, Franklin said he would have to wait and see if he would be one of the seven strangers who find out what happens when people stop being polite and start getting real.
"One of the reasons I applied is because I believe when people are on TV, they can serve as role models and guide people watching," he said. "I think it would be really cool. It could prove to people that other Black kids from small towns could succeed and do a lot."

Faculty book orders past due

As bookstores prepare to receive shipments of books for the spring semester, they're running out of time to handle late orders from faculty members.
Peter Doddema, textbook manager at University Book Shop, 1116 W. 23rd St., said faculty had an Oct. 15 due date for filing textbook orders for the spring semester. He said he had received orders for about 70 percent of spring courses.
He said in the last few years he had received only about a third of spring orders by this time in the fall, and his staff would soon be too busy handling shipments of books from publishers to process orders from faculty.
"We'll start getting large shipments of books the Monday after Thanksgiving," Doddema said. "At that point, my staff is tied up completely. For faculty to place orders
at that time causes a huge problem."
Juliet Kaarbo, associate professor of political science, said some faculty members felt pressured to get their textbook orders in early.
"The bookstore always gives a very early due date," she said. "You're always updating your courses, and you want to think about them as close to the time you're teaching them as you can."
Some faculty members filed late orders on purpose so they could consider the latest material, Kaarbo said. Others simply don't get around to it.
"Faculty want the most up-to-date books, and if they're busy, they don't order the books till the end of the semester," she said.
Doddema said textbook managers were sympathetic to late orders, but couldn't turn them around quickly in the December rush.
"Unfortunately, we're very limited on time too." Doddema said. "If a professor turns in a course late, they run the risk of having late
orders. By mid-October, many of the departments have not assigned courses for next semester.
"It's a very,very tight turnaround time between fall and spring semester."
Tom Beisecker, president of the University Senate Executive Committee — a group of faculty and student senators that reviews matters that come before University Senate — and associate professor of communications studies, said SenEx had addressed the textbook time crunch at recent meetings.
He said some faculty members had reported problems with ordering books online, such as ordering software automatically changing the order to a later edition when the requested edition is not in stock.
"The straight mechanics of dealing with book orders has changed dramatically just within the past three years," Beisecker said. "It's very elaborate, and a lot of it is being done online."

Students among those at risk for carpal tunnel syndrome
Bv Melissa Davis
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Luke Stone's career causes him pain.
The Lawrence resident, a professional glass blower and drummer, has a condition that affects many people, especially college students — carpal tunnel syndrome.
Stone's wrist hurts when he blows glass. They ache when he plays the drums. But Stone can't avoid either activity because this is how he paws the bills.
Carpal tunnel syndrome is common among college students, especially students who use computer keyboards for extended periods of time or those who do repetitive motions, like writing or using video game controllers.
According to a recent Harvard medical school survey, 2.8 million people reported symptoms to their doctors they believed to be carpal tunnel syndrome.
Dennis Anthony, chiropractor at Anthony Chiropractic Clinic, 3017 W. Sixth St., said carpal tunnel syndrome was a condition in the wrist that involved nerves and tendons extending from the forearm into the hand through a "tunnel" made up of wrist bones and transverse carpal ligament.
Carpal tunnel syndrome occurs when ligaments in the wrist get stressed and compress together in the hand and swell up, resulting in tingling, numbness or pain in the wrist.
Stone said he learned new techniques so his wrist wouldn't bother him.
"People like us, that use their hands to make a living, are very vulnerable to carpal tunnel syndrome," he said.
But some students don't think they are at risk of getting carpal tunnel syndrome.
Boon Chew, Malaysia senior, said he spent about four hours a day on a computer because
CARPAL TUNNEL SYMPTOMS
- Pain in the wrist and hand or numbness and tinneling of the fingers.
- Feelings of weakness and a tendency to drop things.
- Large sense of temperature or feel as if hands are warm, well, and it
Anyone with recurrent or persistent pain, numbness and tingling or weakness of the hand should consult a physician.
Source: Harvard Medical school
he was a computer engineering major. He said he never worried about carpal tunnel syndrome because he never had pain in his wrist, only his shoulder.
But Anthony said pain in the shoulder was one sign of carpal tunnel syndrome many people overlooked because they thought it is only felt in the wrist. He said it could also be felt in the forearm or shoulder.
He said about 5 percent of his clientele, including students, had carpal tunnel syndrome.
"We are seeing more and more people that are on computers all day like telemarketers and computer science majors," he said.
Anthony suggested ways to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome.
"People should limit their repetitive activity time and take more breaks," he said. He also suggested that students, especially computerusers, switch mouses and vary their activities.
Anthony said it was better to try to prevent carpal tunnel syndrome than to treat it, because once a person was diagnosed with the condition it was pretty much a chronic condition.
"It is very seldom that carpal tunnel syndrome goes away, it is returnable and it takes so long to treat, it can be frustrating," he said.

AIDS events aspire to raise awareness, understanding
By Leita Schultes
By Leita Schultes writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
In 1999, more than 1,500 Kansans were infected with HIV or AIDS, according to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention's Web site. Nationwide, the number was more than 400,000.
Stih Laurie lesbian/gay/bisexual/transgendered resource coordinator, said AIDS had disappeared from the headlines through the years and people had become more complacent about the issue.
"No. 1 is to keep it in the minds of people," she said.
Sisk hoped that the week after Thanksgiving Break — which includes World AIDS Day on Friday, Dec. 1 — would accomplish that goal.
Sisk said Jeffrey, an AIDS-related movie, would play at 7 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 28 at the Multicultural Resource Center.
On Wednesday, Nov. 29, the LGBT office will take a van of students to Emporia State University to view the AIDS quilt. Sisk said it had 320 panels and was the largest AIDS quilt in the region.
On Thursday, Nov. 30, Douglas County AIDS Project will sponsor a speech by Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare, at 5:30 p.m. Local bands also will perform at Hashinger Hall, and at 2 p.m., the Campanile will sound 20 times to commemorate 20 years of AIDS awareness.
World AIDS Day itself will bring information tables to Wescoe Beach, the Kansas Union and Massachusetts Street. Students will be able to share their personal stories with one another, and free condoms and coffee will be distributed.
Too many students claimed they don't use condoms. Sisk said.
"Nobody ever thinks it's going to be them," she said.
Jeremy Wolff, a Derby junior who helped plan events for World AIDS Day, said he didn't think AIDS was common in Lawrence, but such a perception could be part of the problem.
"I wouldn't say that it's not happening," he said. "I would say that people don't know about it."
Sisak said people could not give up the fight against AIDS. Students should be responsible for their peers: Just as they wouldn't let a friend drive home drunk, they shouldn't let friends have unprotected sex.
He said AIDS was a stigmatized disease, making it difficult for those infected to admit their condition. AIDS was a hard disease to see, he said, and there was danger in its secrecy.
It didn't have to be a losing battle, she said.
"I don't think you can ever say 'Oh, well,'" Sisk said.

Perspective Ethical dilemma riddles election, ballot quagmire
Today, dear reader, you get to run through a set of hypothetical situations. Buck up, it won't take too long, and will be much less unpleasant than the real thing.
Pretend, for this example, that you are a university student. This should not overly tax your imagination.
You are required, for the final grade in a vital course, to take a test. It's a very important one, because your entire grade depends upon it, the class is only offered once every eight semesters and you need it to graduate. You'll only have five minutes to complete the test, but that's okay
— you we've studied your head on, and know the subject. Besides, it's a multiple-choice test — all you have to do is fill in the right bubble.
The day of the exam,
still a bit woozy from
cramming, you go in
and take the test. You
leave confident that
you earned an A.
The next day, the instructor calls you in and tells you that you got every answer on the test wrong, flunking it.
Iris K.
How could this have happened? You examine the scantron closely, and discover to your horror that it was labeled as follows:
Mike
Loader
columnist
opinion@kansan.com
It was clearly marked on the scantron, but you were so woozy, and so used to letters being in logical order, and so intent on the test, that you never even thought to look.
"R""A""D""C"
Your request for a retest is denied. You fall.
Fair? Well, maybe. Your instructor has a valid point when he tells you that if everyone who failed took the test over, no grades would ever be entered. But it still stinks, and you would probably be cursing that professor even while blaming yourself for not paying closer attention.
Second hypothetical. As before, but this time you're alert, and catch the trick scantron order. Breathing a mental sigh of relief — you almost failed! — you fill out the test and leave, confident that you aced the thing.
The next day, the instructor calls you in and tells you that you got every answer on the test wrong, flunking it.
How? You review the scantron. You've clearly marked the right answers!
Sorry, your instructor says. The machine won't read it. It turns out that the lead in your No. 2 pencil is of a funky sort that the machine can't interpret.
Look at the test, you tell him. You have eyes! Who cares what the machine says? Anyone with half a brain can tell that the correct answers are marked just by looking at the paper!
I can't do that, says your professor. Just because you made a mark on the correct answer doesn't mean that you actually got it right. I'm just a fallible human. It's not my place to second-guess a machine.
Oh, he tells you, by the way, I hate your guts and have been publicly hoping that you fail. But despite that, I am in no way biased, and my refusal to allow this test to be graded in any way other than by machine is in no way motivated by the fact that I think you're scum. Have I mentioned that my friend is going to get promoted to a wonderful new job if you fail? But don't worry, this verdict is perfectly fair.
Would you, as a reasonable student,
accept that answer?
I didn't think so.
And neither should the voters of Florida and the United States accept Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris' refusal to allow a manual recount of valid ballots unreadable by machine. Harris is a Republican who has openly campaigned for George W. Bush. She was the head of his Florida campaign. She is by no means impartial.
You wouldn't sit still and let a professor destroy your grade. How much more important is the election of the president?

Gore unsuited to lead, should concede to Bush
In the midst of the do-si-doing of this election, a few things have become increasingly apparent.
FIRST, the winner of this ugly situation will be considered by half the population to be illegitimate and unable to rule in the fullest capacity designated by the Constitution. Also, the flaws of the balloting and vote counting systems not only in Florida, but also in several other important states, have been exposed.
But most importantly, Albert Gore has proven himself unfit to be the President of these United States.
TOMMY KELLY
Before Nov. 7, many people felt as if Al Gore was more presidential and more prepared to assume the most powerful position in the world. Another portion

If there is any doubt about this latter claim now, it must only be harbored by the most devout of Democratic partisans.

First, a recount of the Florida votes was demanded. When that did not come out in his favor, he wanted another recount in strongly Democratic districts Then the cries went up from his campaign for a hand recount.
This is a blatant attempt to manipulate the Florida vote until it somehow emerges in his favor. He has even attempted (to the puzzling approval of the Florida Supreme Court) to get ballots that were merely dimpled in the circle near his name to be counted.
If the presidency is to continue to be held in high honor and esteem, then only the purest of motivations for becoming president — the honest belief that there is hope in the future and that one person can lead us toward the benefit of the general welfare — should be acceptable.
This begs the question: Do we as Americans really want the next president to be a man who will say and do absolutely anything to get elected?
Politicians who seek to put themselves where they want to be, no matter by what extreme means, should be told once and for all that this is not in the true spirit of America and its greatest office.
The only way that this message of political purity and this vote of confidence in the American system can be sounded is for Al Gore to concede.
George W. Bush should be inaugurated as the next president of these United States Jan. 20.

Editorial
Remember the needy this season
The holidays are a time for giving, but donations should be year-round.
As Thanksgiving ushers in the holiday season, families are madly hustling about trying to get their houses decorated, the shopping done and plan time with the family.
This is also a time when we need to keep the less fortunate in mind.
The time between Thanksgiving and New Year's is full of philanthropy opportunities, and we should take advantage of those opportunities to help the needy.
Many of the food kitchens and donation centers in Lawrence and Kansas City are very low on food this year. Many families are going to go hungry this Thanksgiving. Although many of us students go home for Thanksgiving break, it doesn't mean that we can't donate food for the needy
The Salvation Army here in Lawrence is a great place to start. And many student organizations on campus are holding food drives during the holiday season. Keep an eye out for these opportunities and take advantage of them if you can.
This is a time when the pock etbooks are a bit thin, but we must think of those who have that problem all year round.
Although the opportunities for donating are advertised more during this time of year, let's not forget that some families in Lawrence need food and supplies all year.
It's always a good idea to help those in need, no matter what time of year it is.
So let's show the Lawrence community that the students of the University of Kansas care, and let's hope that few or no families in Lawrence go hungry this holiday season.

Stouffer Place residents criticize parking
Cost of parking poor quality of lot have tenants upset

Stouffer Place Apartment residents were denied two-for-one parking permits this month and the apartment parking lots have been in need of improvements for three years — leaving some residents wondering why they pay to park.
Alejandro Parra-Briones, Puebla, Mexico, graduate student and Stouffer resident, said he sent two e-mails to the KU Parking Department with four questions about parking situation in Stouffer Place but received no answers.
"Just say, question one no, no, question two, no," he said. "I'm paying what they're asking and I'm not receiving service."
He said he expected a reply because the parking department's web site provided the department's e-mail address and asked for questions and comments.
"They said to make contact," Parra-Briones said. "But if they don't read the mail, they should remove the address from their site."
Donna Hultine, assistant director of parking, said the parking department switched e-mail servers from Groupserve to Outlook and she had found about 400 e-mails directed to the wrong area.
"When we switched e-mail I know we had some glitches," she
said, adding that the department had fixed the glitches and e-mails were now coming in.
Curt Boschek, Lawrence senior and Stouffer Place resident, said he often saw nonresidents parking in the StouFFER Place lots and he had never seen anyone checking the lots.
"It annoys me that we pay and they don't check our parking lots," he said.
Trisha Kroll, president of Stouffer Neighborhood Association, said the association had been seeking improvements for three years and had been assured Stouffer was next in line for capital improvements in summer 2001.
Parking permits at Stouffer Place are $75 per year, and Hultine said the parking department earned close to $15,000 a year from permit
sales at the apartments.
The cost of resurfacing their parking lots was $400,000, she said, so the department had to earn enough money before it can take on the project.
"The money people pay for permits eventually goes toward maintenance," Huitine said. "It doesn't provide nearly enough to gut out a lot, though."
She said Stouffer Place was
undersold and that the parking department was driven by demand.
"We have them in the plan but there were lots that we needed more space, like lot 90 south of Robinson," Hultine said.
The parking department's web site is www.ukans.edu/~parking and the department can be reached at kupark@ukans.edu.

The office is looking for about 16 students to work full-time during freshman and new-student orientation this summer.
Summer is six months away, but the Office of New Student Orientation might have the answer for students already looking for a summer job.
"They should be able to work during the summer months," he said. "It will be a full-time job for them. They won't be able to
Josh Burdette, coordinator of recruitment, said the assistants, who are paid $7.50 an hour, were required to commit a great deal of time to the position.
"We're certainly looking for outstanding students who are interested in applying so that new students can find someone they can relate to."

Burdette said the selection process included simulations in group leadership, public speaking and one-on-one interviews.
"Students should have good
communication skills, be motivational, bright and creative," he said.
Kristin Adkinson, orientation associate director and orientation assistant supervisor, said the recruiting staff also looked for diversity in the selection of its team of assistants.
"We've always done a good job to get a diverse staff not only ethnically, but in involvements on campus and different majors," she said.
Adkinson said the recruitment process had begun and applications would be available Monday, Nov. 27.
An informational meeting will take place at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 29, at the Pioneer Room in the Burge Union, and at 6 p.m., Tuesday,

Burdette encouraged all interested students to apply for the positions.
"The interview process is a good one and very similar to one you'd find in the business world and job market," he said. "It's a good experience."
Jenny Mckenzie, Topeka junior, worked as an orientation assistant last summer and said the job was a great opportunity to work with incoming students and their families to help them become acquainted with the University.
"You're one of 16 people representing KU for the entire summer and the first student contact that freshmen have at KU," she said. "It's a great sense of reward because you've helped them become familiar with the University."

t
the quest for a contemplative life of work and prayer took a group of KU students to a medieval French monastery in the mid-1970s. Giving up their families, native country and
modern conveniences, they entered the monastery to lead a simple life in the 1,500-year-old tradition of Benedictine monks.
After almost 25 years, 13 monks—including seven KU alumni—returned to the United States in 1999 to found the Clear Creek Monastery near Tulsa, Okla. The new monastery is associated with the Benedictine Abbey of Notre Dame of Fontgombault, where the monks lived in France.
"It's just a great joy to be back in your own homeland," said Philip Anderson, prior of the Clear Creek Monastery.
"The purpose of it all is just to live the gospel," Anderson said. "Nobody's perfect but you can attain a certain kind of perfection. Monastic life is just an organization that favors that."
As Benedictines, the monks at Clear Creek lead a life of ora et labora — prayer and work — set down by St. Benedict in the sixth century. In addition to praying five hours a day, the monks tend to their 1,200 acres in the Ozarks of Oklahoma. They have hay fields, Angus cattle, sheep, chickens, apple orchards, and make furniture out of the numerous hardwoods on the ranch.
Collegiate roots
For the KU alumni, their spiritual journey began in a series of classes offered in the 1970s known as the Integrated Humanities Program. The four-se semester, 24-credit program covered literature, history, philosophy and poetry of western civilization.
Anderson said he entered the program in the fall of 1971 as a "wild teenager," fed up with the Vietnam conflict and traditional teaching styles. But the classes taught by Frank Nellick and John Senior, both now deceased, and Dennis Quinn, professor of English, surprised and challenged Anderson.
Quinn said the program, which began with a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities, was an experiment by the three professors to reach out to first- and second-year students.
"This was the most profoundly interesting educational experience I ever had," he said. "It was just a tremendous success."
"The spirit of the program was very poetic." Quinn said.
He said first-semester class typically began with 125 students, which fell off to about 50 by the fourth semester. Classes included memorizing 10 English poems a semester, learning Latin orally, studying calligraphy and extracurricular events such as a formal spring waltz.
Through the program, many students became interested in European history and the Catholic church, Anderson said.
Some converted to Catholicism of their own accord, including Anderson. He was baptized in April of 1973 at the age of 20. Quinn said the three Catholic professors did not attempt to convert the students, but as successful teachers they did have an influence.
"Doesn't every faculty member have an influence?" Quinn said. "If teachers don't have a personal influence on students, then there's something wrong with the teacher."
After the 1977-1978 academic year, the program ended after questions arose about the number of students who converted to Catholicism and because the program's popularity caused enrollment to decline in other departments. Quinn said.
In 1972, two students from KU set out for Europe with the goal of finding a monastery and way of life that could be brought to Kansas, Anderson said. They discovered Fontgombault, a French monastery founded in 1091. When they returned to school and the Integrated Humanities Program, word spread among the students about the monastery. Each year, some students visited the monastery and a few of those decided to stay and join.
"A lot of the reason for the objections were we constituted some competition for the current system, which was what the intention was," Quinn said.
Founding a monastery
After two years at KU, Anderson was not sure if he wanted to become a monk, so he joined the Marine Corps for two years. Then, in the fall of 1875, he went with friends to France to observe the monastery at Fortongault and work with the monks.
"It's a difficult, much more austere life," he said. "All of us were very charmed by the beauty of the place — the complete

peace of it. We were looking for an ideal, sobriety order."
The next spring, Anderson and his friends made the decision to enter the monastery and began studying philosophy and theology in order to become priests.
In the back of their minds were hopes to return to United States and found a monastery, which they thought would take 10 years. Instead, it was almost 25 years later that 13 men from Fontgomb bault, including the seven KU grads, moved to Oklahoma to found the Clear Creek
Monastery.
There are other Benedictine monasteries in the United States, but Clear Creek is the only one associated with the Congregation of Solesmith, which retains the use of Latin in the liturgy after the reforms of Vatican II allowed other languages to be used in the church.
When the monks of Clear Creek raise their voices in Gregorian Chant, the Latin echoes in a former horse barn, which also houses some sleeping quarters in converted horse stalls. A cabin and other buildings constitute the modest monastery, which sits on what was once a family ranch.
With the addition of six new members this year and five more on a waiting list, the young monastery may start construction on a church and living quarters within a year.
"It's hard to convert agricultural buildings into a church," Anderson said. "We're working very hard, trying to find the means to build a real monastery."
The lack of a "real monastery" hasn't stopped visitors from coming to Clear Creek during the last year. Anderson said the groups were usually from Catholic parishes or student organizations, and everyone was invited to participate in a mass, listen to their Gregorian Chants and observe their life.
A way of life
Quinn said he was happy to see his former students return to the United States and start a monastery.
"People have this idea that monastic life is gloomy," he said. "But the thing that inspires people who don't know much about monasteries is the monks are happy, cheerful and so ordinary. They have a spark of loy in them."
Father John Pilcher of the St. Lawrence Campus Catholic Center said students went on a spring-break trip to Conception Abbey, a Benedictine monastery in Northwest Missouri, but only a few college students sought monastic life on a permanent basis.
"I haven't really had many people say anything," he said. "Usually they have heard about it themselves somehow."
"College is not just getting ready for a paycheck — you're opening yourself up to a lot of wisdom," he said.
Anderson said the mentality of young people had changed from when he was in college, but there still was a search for spirituality.
After spending half of his life in France, Anderson and the other KU alumni are continuing their own search for truth and wisdom and embracing the challenge of founding a new monastery in America.
"We're bringing over the monastic ideal itself that some people should be set apart and just pray and work, so that everyone can profit from that." Anderson said. "The contemplative life is our ideal."

Inside scoring, late streak clinch victory for'Hawks
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The Jayhawks can talk all they want about quick feet and mental toughness, but all they needed Friday night was an able set of hands.
As it turned out, that was all it took No. 4 Kansas (3-0) to rock North Dakota (0-1) to sleep. In what was sweet music for a Jayhawk team looking to cure a New York hangover, Kansas sang North Dakota a 92-61 lullaby in front of a bored gathering of 16,300 fans.
"It was just one of those nights," said senior forward Kenny Gregory, whose 19 points paced the Javahawks.
Kansas coach Roy Williams admitted his Jayhawks didn't play their best on Friday, but he was also quick to give North Dakota credit for making the game closer than it should have been.
"We were coming off such an

emotional high from playing on national television," he said. "It's only human nature to come out and think that this game would be easy. We struggled through this one, and we did not have the energy or alertness that we usually do. But I don't want to take away from the great job North Dakota did."
Competing against a Division I powerhouse isn't an easy task — even if North Dakota has a Kansaslike consistency every season. So in an attempt to keep the game respectable, the Fighting Sioux brought Jeff Brandt, a freewheeling three-point shooter, busloads
of fans and some downright bad humor.
"Our main goal was to gain the respect of Roy Williams, the Kansas players and all the fans," North Dakota coach Rich Glas said. "If we did not do that, then I demand a recount."
Brandt's line, meanwhile, was no joke. The lanky freshman guard felt compelled to take shots from anywhere inside Douglas County, launching up a 3-for-19 clip and sometimes shooting from what seemed as far away as Eudora.
"We're a bigger team, and they knew they were not going to beat us inside, so they had to do something else." Williams said.
But perhaps the game's biggest story was about the guard who didn't shoot.
The matchup with the Sioux was created so junior guard Jeff Boschee, a native of Valley City, N.D., would have a chance to show off his skills against his home state.

but the Sloux were determined not to allow Boschee to beat them, hounding him every time he touched the ball. Instead, Boschee dished off and didn't attempt a three-point shot for the first time in his Jayhawk career.
"I didn't want to force anything," Boschee said. "That's not good for your game or for your team. We just needed to get the ball inside, and that's what we did."

Kansas left out in the cold
Embattled team falls to Cyclones in season finale
By Jasen Franchuk sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
AMES, Iowa — Kansas football coach Terry Allen was low on excuses Saturday, but one thing he did mentioned was the weather.
"We're not used to playing in these conditions," he said, referring to the zero-degree wind chill that swept through Iowa State's Jack Trice Stadium.
it was colder and 12 weeks later, but the Jayhawks' 38-17 season-ending loss at Iowa State was the type of game Kansas has played since the first week of September.
Kansas performed much the same as in its season-opening
loss to Southern Methodist albeit in much colder conditions.
The basic elements of Kansas' struggles, however, were all there.
Kansas came out sluggish, going three-and-out to start the game. Iowa State quickly scored, and the Jayhawks were playing from behind.
High was one of about 20
That was the last thing Allen or the Jayhawks wanted. With nothing to play for, except fun, pride and a sort of quasimomentum for next season, an early deficit was the last thing Kansas could afford.
"If there's anything to take away from it, we didn't give up," said senior safety Kareem High.
It could have been the 33-cent special, with Kansas looking for a stamp to mail in the season. But Kansas stayed close through the first half, trailing only 17-10.

seniors playing in their final game for Kansas. But in the last three weeks, the graduating players have had time to ponder their time in Lawrence.
Kansas' last three losses have come by average score of 48-17; to Nebraska, Texas and Iowa State.
Still, Allen refused to make whine out of sour grapes with his longtime friend, Iowa State coach Dan McCarney. Allen credited the bowl-bound Cyclones for what they did this season.
Kansas came out uninspired,
and as soon as Iowa State's lead
stretched to 31-10 on a Joe
Woodley one-yard touchdown
run with 8:48 left, the seniors
had ample time to pause and
reflect.
Maybe it was because there was little left to play for, but
"I guess what I thought was, it's all gone so fast," said senior linebacker Tim Bowers.
When they returned to the locker room after the game, Allen apologized to his team.
"I apologized to them for their frustration throughout the year," he said. "But I told everyone that I was proud that they were Jayhawks for that, through life's twists and turns, hopefully they could learn something through their disappointments."
The Jayhawks have had to learn this lesson plenty of times. For the fifth consecutive year, Kansas is left in the cold — and out of the postseason.

'Hawks crush hapless Tigers
Kansas wins by 51 after shellacking of Grambling

with a flurry of missed put-backs, they managed the nearly impossible.
The Tigers (0-1)
saw their shooting
percentage drop to
9.7 percent, but
Senior forward Brooke Reves set the tone with the first two baskets of the game, and the 'Hawks never looked back.
"I thought our first five came out and played with great intensity," coach Marian Washington said. "We decided kind of late in the first half to take that press off of them. So the entire second half we didn't press anymore."
Kansas (1-0), on the other hand, did not have a problem making shots.
There was no need to press.
Kansas staked itself to a 14:14 half.
time lead, holding the Tigers to 4-03 shooting from the field.
However, Grambling took advantage of Washington's gesture. The Tigers racked up 57 points in the second half.
"We didn't stop that 32 at all." junior guard Fernanda Bosi said.
While Grambling was tossing up air balls and bricks, Kansas was capitalizing on Grambling turnovers and its size advantage inside. The 'Hawks tallied 56 points in the paint and 43 points off Tiger turnovers.
The bulk of Kansas' inside scoring came from senior forward Jaclyn Johnson. In just 18 minutes, she scored 25 points and 15 rebounds. It was her second double-double in two games.
She was referring to Grambling's leading scorer Shrikeva Evans, who scored 22 points. But it took her 25 shots to get it, including 20 attempts beyond the three-point arc.
While everything seemed to be going Johnson's way, that wasn't the case. Early in the second half Johnson was knocked to the ground twice as she was running down court.
"Jaclyn should have a great year if we keep her healthy," Washington said.
Fed up with pulling herself off the ground, Johnson plead her case to the official. But instead of the official stopping Johnson from being tripped, they gave her a technical.
"They were doing it on purpose," she said. "I think the officials could have stepped in and told them to stop doing that."

After the technical Johnson watched the rest of the game from the bench, but it didn't matter. Kansas got contributions from everyone, notably junior guards KC Hilgenkamp and Bosi.
Hilgenkamp and Bosi, who are still working themselves into the offense, combined for 23 points and were 3-of-6 from three-point range.
"It was unfortunate for her to land a technical," Washington said. "She didn't say a whole lot."

Disappointing year sums up state of Kansas football team
Sports Columnist
Although no one knows who will be giving the next State of the Union Address, the Kansas football season is finished and the state of the Javahawks is pretty obvious.
Sports Columnist
Shawn Linenberger
sports@kansan.com
This season was a disappointment. The votes are in and there's no need for a recount.
The current commander-in-chief summed the season unin succinctly.
"It's been a summer," coach Terry Allen said after the Iowa State game Saturday. "I wish it could've been better for all of us."
Allen's term in office hasn't been pleasant. His inaugural season brought optimism when his team went 5-6 and beat bowl-bound Missouri. But the Allen Administration hasn't climbed over anything that resembles a hump.
Glen Mason left after a losing season in 1996. Unfortunately for Allen, in his four years of service, the recession in '98 has continued and a depression could come very soon.
The Jayhawks also lose 12 seniors who were starters this year. The team will have a quarterback with virtually no experience next year and a young backfield. Senior linebackers Tim Bowers and Chaz Murphy also must be replaced.
Next year, the Jayhawks have UCLA and the regular work load of Oklahoma. Kansas State, Nebraska and Texas on their schedule.
Allen will have some reasons to be optimistic. An all-senior defensive line will return, along with a very experienced receiving corps with depth. Still, receivers are useless if they have no one to throw to them.
Redshirt freshman Mario Kinsey, who has also been a bright spot on the basketball team, might be the difference in the near future.
This year, though, was expected to be the turning point for Allen's program. But the journey took a major detour in Dallas with the season-opening loss to Southern Methodist. The Jayhawks could see bowl possibilities after wins against Missouri and Colorado, but then dropped four games to end the season.
Whether some players gave up frequently can only be answered by them. Either way, this season's finished and Allen and his team must once again wait until next year. Iowa State, on the other hand, is in a situation many Jayhawks thought they would be in.
then folded in the second half.
At 83, the Cyclones will be in a
match at 4:47 the Jawhavas will not.
8-3, the Cyclones will be in a bowl. At 4-7, the Jayhawks will not. And when teams don't go to bowls, all fingers usually point toward the coach. Administrators usually give coaches their pink slips too early. Bob Frederick probably won't fit into that category this year, as Allen should be back for his fifth year.
He should be back next year because football programs aren't always built in four years. Dan McCarney is in his sixth year at Iowa State; this is his first winning season with the Cyclones.
Allen is slowly gaining the label of "good guys can't finish first." He still has time to change his record and the stereotype.
With that in mind, give the guy some more time and attend some games. If the result is the same in two years, an Allen campaign for a new job would be more suitable.
But for now, voters need to stick to the guy elected four years ago.

Crash with photographer leads to tumor discovery
The Raiders scored a touchdown on the resulting drive.
It may be the best thing that ever happened to the freelance photographer, Mickey Pflegler.
Gonzalez was headed for the sidelines of 3Com Park when a 49er linebacker shoved him out of bounds and into Pflegler. The 51-year-old was knocked unconscious and went into a seizure.
Pfegler was taken to a hospital, where doctors found no serious injuries from the collision. But because of the seizure, they ran a scan of Pfegler's brain.
That test revealed a brain tumor. Doctors did not describe the size of the brain tumor, but described it as being large.

Tigers pummel focused 'Hawks
Team reflective following seniors final home match
By Sarah Warren
By Sarah Warren sports@kanson.com Kanson sportwriter
Nancy Bell just might be $1,000
poorer after this weekend.
Bell, a senior outside hitter on the volleyball team, bet a friend $1,000 that she wouldn't cry after her final career volleyball game at Kansas, a 9-15, 12-15, 8-15 loss to Missouri.
But, standing in front of the 855 fans at the Horeis family Athletics Center, Bell found herself blubbering into the microphone, saying her final good-byes just like her senior teammates Amy Mytay and Sara Kidd, outside hitters; and Danielle Geronymo, middle blocker.
"You win, the $1,000 is yours." Bell said jokingly, as she dried the tears, with a grin.
Bell and the other seniors shed no tears, however, about their final match at Horejsi.
Although the Jayhawks (14-14, 5-14 in the Big 12 Conference) fell to Missouri (22-5, 13-5 Big 12), no tear was shed specifically for the loss. The focus of Saturday's event was the match, not the good-byes.
“It’s meant a lot to me,” said Geronymo, whose father and sister flew in from Brazil for the match. “It’s hard to go through the game without thinking about it.”
Hard — but not impossible.
Coach Ray Bechard said he expected his team to keep their hearts at the net, not on their
Volleyball: Missouri 3 Kansas 0 (15-9, 15-12, 15-8)
sleeves.
"The focus of the whole evening was the match," Bechard said. "We had to focus on that. Mizzou is too good not to."
Kansas didn't appear unfocused,
just unlucky.
Bell scored 18 kills, Myatt had 12 and Geronomy added 13 digs.
"They make things happen," Bechard said. "They make deflections, hitting stuff off the knee or off the elbow."
Kansas hung with Missouri and its lucky swings, but Missouri ran away in the final five points of the game.
"We just backed down at times when we couldn't," Bechard said. "Things just add up over a period of time."
However, the Jayhawks made quite the comeback in game two, scoring six straight points while Missouri was at game point, before falling with an ace by Tiger sophomore outside hitter Lisa Morris.
"You give a team like that a three or four point lead and they'll run with it," Bechard said. "They're not 23-5 by accident."
Now the 'Hawks will prepare for their final game of the season against Oklahoma at 7 p.m. Saturday in Norman, Okla.
Of course, the very final game of the season will be as emotional as the final home game for the senior Jayhawks, even without all the fanfare.
"I used to dream of volleyball so much," Geronymo said. "it'll be hard to think about it next year."

Volleyball match pits ex-teammates against each other
By Cate Batchelder Special to the Kansar
Players who used to be on the same side of the net wore different colors at the Kansas-Missouri game Saturday.
The story of Kansas assistant coach Christi Posey, Kansas sophomore Molly Scavuzzo and Mizzou sophomore Lisa Morris may be the most intimate of all.
A small-world syndrome made the game more intimate for the players and fans.
Scavuzzo and Morris, alumnae
VOLLEYBALL
of Blue Valley
North west
High School,
led their team
to back-to-back
state
champion
onships
under the
coach Posey.
This is Posey and Scavuzzo's first season at Kansas, with Posey coming from Northwest and Scavuzzo a transfer from Wyoming.
"I hoped to have the opportunity to coach (Division One) and I knew they (Morris and Scavuzo) were always going Done," Posey said. "It's great to cross paths again with the opportunity to coach Molly. I'm glad we are reunited."
The infamous rivalry between Kansas and Missouri in basketball mirrors that in volleyball, but this one is friendlier; Both sides have only positive comments about the other.
"It's great to cross paths again with the opportunity to coach Molly.I'm glad we are reunited." Christi Posey Kansas assistant coach
"I'm so jealous Molly gets to play for Coach Posey," Morris said.
Looking forward to next year, Scavuzzo said, "Hopefully, I'll play intense every game, but it will definitely be different (having Morris on the other side)."
Christi Myers, sophomore for the Tigers, was also a player of Posey's and a teammate of Morris' during her junior club season with Team KC Volleyball Club.
Yet more proof that it's a small world: Jayhawk sophomore Jamie Morningstar and Mizzou freshman Chrissy Elder also were Team KC teammates three years ago.
Further complicating the scene is Jayhawk recruit Danielle McHenry, a senior at Shawnee Heights, who played with Elder on another Team KC team two years ago.
With McHenry joining the Jayhawk squad, Kansas might jump ahead in the overall series, which Missouri leads 33-30.

Passion propels Gruber to NCAA finals
By Ryan Malashock sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Running for the cross country team used to be a chore for junior Charlie Gruber.
A middle-distance runner at heart, he has slowly formed a passion for long-distance running and is set to represent Kansas as the lone Jayhawk at today's NCAA Championships in Ames, Iowa.
Gruber has gone from a track star looking to improve his running by participating in
cross country to Kansas' first NCAA Championships participant since 1994.
He said he came into the season confident, but didn't expect to be in the position he's in now.
"I couldn't have imagined being where I am right now at the start of the year because I didn't think that I was fast enough for that," Gruber said. "I'm really excited for this. I've had some good training since districts, and I'm ready to go."
He said a large bulk of his improvement this season could be attributed to assistant coach Doug Clark.
"Coach Clark has been big all year about making me believe that I could perform," he said. "That was huge for me all season."
Gruber will join more than 250 of the nation's best runners today in Ames. He said he wasn't going to Ames to just make an appearance: He's there to place — and place high. "My goal is to make All-American, which is
top 25," he said. "I'm going after that, and it would be a great honor to me to give the new coaching staff their first new All-American."
Head coach Stanley Redwine said Gruber's appearance today was significant.
"Running today is a huge step for Charlie and a huge step for the program." Redwine said. "This shows just how hard work pays off, and it also gives our team something to look forward to."
He also said that Gruber's appearance
today was a sign that the men's program was close to becoming a conference power.
Next year, the Kansas men will return every scoring runner from this year's squad.
Gruber said he hoped that he would not be the only Jayhawk in the NCAA Championships at this time next season.
"It's really exciting having everyone back for next year," he said. "We're bringing in some good new guys, and I want us to be here as a team next year." - Edited by John Audiblem

COLUMBIA, Mo. — Larry Smith, who followed two bowl seasons with two losing seasons, was fired yesterday after seven years as the Tigers' football coach.
Smith fired after sub-par season
The Associated Press
He was dismissed by athletic director Mike Alden one day after a 28-24 home loss to Kansas State, ending a 3-8 season. The defeat was the latest embarrassing setback for Missouri, which this year was blown out by Clemson (62-9), Texas (47-12) and Kansas (38-17).
Smith, who had three years to go on his contract, had a 33-46-1 record at Missouri. His career record is 143-126-7 in 24 seasons, with previous stops at Tulane, Arizona and Southern California.
PETER WILSON
Following Saturday's loss, Smith said he had no plans to resign. He talked optimistically, saying he thought Missouri would have a "great team" next year and discussing recruiting priorities.
Missouri stumbled to 4-7 in 1999 after quarterback Kirk Farmer broke his leg in midseason. The Tigers lost six of their last seven last season, including ugly losses to Oklahoma (37-0), Texas A&M (51-14) and Kansas State (66-0).
In 1997, after 13 consecutive losing seasons at Missouri, Smith guided the Tigers to a 7-5 record and the Holiday Bowl, and was
But the two stars of the bowl teams, quarterback Corby Jones and running back Devin West, graduated after the 1998 season and Smith was never able to find adequate replacements.
honored as Big 12 Conference coach of the year by The Associated Press.
Last week, Smith noted numerous improvements made during his stay — a new practice facility and upgrades at Faurot Field, from a grass field to a new pressbox.
The next season, Missouri beat West Virginia in the Insight.com Bowl, finishing the year with an 8-4 record — the Tigers' first bowl victory since the 1981 Tangerine Bowl. The consecutive bowl trips were the first for Missouri since 1980-81.
Those wins made Smith one of only four coaches to take four different teams to a bowl.

Seniors reflect after last game
Loss to Iowa State a letdown for end of football season
By Allan Davis
sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportswriter
Nineteen seniors on the Kansas football team traveled to Ames, Iowa, to battle the Iowa State Cyclones knowing it would be their last game as Jayhawks.
In the future, they'll probably dream about football — being back on the field with eligibility and playing or getting ready to play.
But for most, there's no more football.
Some may go on to play in one of the different pro leagues.
Kansas coach Terry Allen said that, predictably, the seniors experienced a letdown after their final game, which the Jayhawks lost 38-17 to the Cyclones.
'I've been doing this for 20 years, and the seniors' final games are
always very difficult," he said.
"You play this game and devote 11,
12 months of your life to it for 10
years when you count your junior
high and high school, and when
you play your final football game,
it's very hard. You go through a
very emotional time. It's a down
time for those kids right now."
In the locker room after the game, some of the seniors didn't want to talk, and the sadness was very evident in those who did.
Senior co-captain Moran Norris, a fullback whose ankle injury limited his playing time in the last few games, said the end of his college career gave him mixed feelings.
"Being a senior, it's good in a way that you're graduating — you've completed the goals you wanted to in life," he said. "But you've just got to say goodbye to football — your college career. It just gets sad. But I guess you've just got to move on."
Senior linebacker Tim Bowers, also a co-captain, said his college career went quickly.
"You get out there, and you don't think about how quick it goes," he
Senior running back David Winbush, who led the Jayhawks in rushing for the third consecutive year, said the finality of the situation would probablyaffect him more later.
said. "Nobody thinks it goes as fast as it actually does. You come in and think you're going to be here forever, and now it's over."
"It hasn't affected me," he said.
"It hasn't hit me yet. I know it's over. Probably Monday when

Senior quarter-terror Dylan Smith, also a co-captain.
said he was concerned about the uncertainty of the future and would miss the togetherness he shared with his teammates.
"It's tough playing your last game and not knowing what's going to happen next season," he said. "I've had fun these past two years that I've been here and I'm
you're going to be here forever, and now it's over."

going to miss everybody on the team and the coaches and joking and laughing with everybody and coming out to practice and seeing everybody every day. So it's pretty tough."
Senior strong safety Kareem High said his last game meant a lot to him.
"It was an emotional game for me," he said, "Just knowing that I won't be able to put the pads on again for Kansas and wanting to go out with a good game and have a victory and just play my best. It's just tough."

Chenowith hits 1,000th career point
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
When Eric Chenowith needs a breather he usually turns to teammate Jeff Carey for help. But it was some pre-game words by Carey that almost kept Chenowith from scoring his 1000th career point in No. 4 Kansas' 92-61 victory against North Dakota on Friday night.
"He was like, if you have 13, don't miss a free throw," and I kept running that over and over in my head." Chenowith said. "I was trying not to think about it. I wanted to win and I'm grateful that I got it done."
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he also was relieved Chenowith sank his final attempt. He missed his previous two attempts, and Williams said that if Chenowith missed the third he was going to pull him from the game and make him wait for another game.
"On the first free throw I think he kind of choked a little bit," Williams said. "He did know what it was. If he missed the second one I told him I wasn't going to let him play in the next three games and let him worry about it that long. I was proud that he stepped up and made the last one."
Despite the milestone, Chenowith said it
"I feel a lot more confident now on the court.I just want to get the ball in the block. I've played against good players and I know I can score."

wasn't that important.
"Don't make too big of a deal out of it because it'd be selfish of me to think that this is about me," he said. "No. 1, I wanted to win, and No. 2, look good for Jeff Boschee because we were playing his hometown team."
Chenowith sank the final free throw. While he received some added attention for becoming the 40th player in Kansas basketball history to score 1,000 career points, he has also gained some extra attention from officials calling fouls.
He fouled out of both games at the Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic and had four fouls Friday night. But Chenowith said he didn't want to discuss the foul situation.
fouls his center was called for, but that avoiding foul trouble came down to composure.
"I'm sure he's getting frustrated by (the foul trouble); I don't think there's any question about that," he said. "He got a foul in the first half because he missed a two-foot shot. He turned around, lays it up and misses. He got frustrated and fouls the guy. When you're a senior you can't do those kinds of things."
Despite the foul trouble, Chenowith said he was feeling more comfortable with his game this year.
"I feel a lot more confident now on the court," he said. "I just want to get the ball in the block. I've played against good players and I know I can score. I'm not trying to be selfish, I'm just trying to make good, strong moves to the basket."
His teammates have faith that Chenowith can score, too.
Junior guard Jeff Boschee said he had the confidence to feed the ball inside to Chenowith.
"His hands have gotten a lot better and he's being a lot stronger with the ball around the hoop and he's taking the ball to the basket more often," Boschee said. "If Eric keeps doing that his confidence is going to grow and grow special things
While Boschee is waiting for special things to happen, Chenowith is savoring a special feeling he hardly experienced last year — fan support.
are going to happen."
"That (applause) felt really good because a lot of those fans were on me last year," Chenowith said. "It was a good redeeming feeling to have them stand up like that and cheer for me. I was just grateful that the fans appreciated me."

Boise State awaits struggle with Kansas
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
History shows Boise State like to open its season against Top 25 opponents. History also shows the Broncos lose most of those games.
True to its past, Boise State (0-1) will play No. 4 Kansas (3-0) at 7:05 tonight at Allen Fieldhouse. But while Broncos usually don't usually defeat ranked teams, it has happened before. It has actually happened twice most recently in 1998 when the Broncos opened their season against then-No. 15 Washington and beat the Huskies 69-61.
This team should not be overlooked.
Sure, it was 12-15 last year, but Boise State opened its season at No. 17 Cincinnati on Saturday. The Broncos led with seven minutes remaining before losing 73-61.
Broncos coach Rod Jensen said the tough early games were hard on the team's record but helped the team realize its potential each year.
"It's probably not the best way for us to open up our season, playing teams like Cincinnati and Kansas, but at the same time it's going to give our guys a chance to see how its done at the highest level." Jensen said.
He said his team had experience on its side because eight players returned, including four starters.
"I think you have a chance to be a pretty good basketball team when you have veteran players because they can paint a picture for the younger guys," Jensen said. "I think this is a good road trip for us because we're playing two very tough top-quality basketball teams and they can show us what we have to do to get where they're at."
Kansas coach Roy Williams said his team would not overlook Boise State.
"They're a good basketball team," he said.
"I told our kids, 'Don't expect that this one's going to be easy,' because I don't think it will be. It'll be interesting to see how we play and how we come out mentally prepared."
The Broncos will have a difficult task on their hands trying to guard Kansas' big men.
Their tallest starter is 6-foot-8 junior center Richard Morgan. Junior forward and leading scorer Abe Jackson is 6-7 and will also help guard in the post.
"We're going to have to be very willing to work our rear ends off to try to do the things we're going to try to do to defend the big guys, but those are sizes we don't usually see every week so it's kind of uncommon for us," Jensen said.
In addition to playing post defense, Jackson will be relied on to keep the Broncos in the game offensively. He averaged 16.2 points per game last year.
He scored 17 points and grabbed 14 rebounds against Cincinnati on Saturday, and Jensen said Jackson would need to step up all of his numbers if his team would have an opportunity to win the ball game.
"We need him to bump it up both on the rebounding end of the game and the defensive end of the game," Jensen said. "He's a pretty solid player and is a real good shooter."
Kansas was more than willing to toss the ball to its overpowering front line. A Jayhawk guard didn't even score until almost nine minutes into the game.
Edited by Clay McCuistion
It didn't matter because the Jayhawks built a 13-point halftime lead and then wore North Dakota down with a 17-0 run starting with less than 10 minutes to go in the contest.
Continued from page 1B
'Hawks slaughter off-kilter Sioux
In the clinching run, all but three points were scored by the Kansas front court, which became a theme for the day.
"With the way that we were playing and with our size advantage, it would have been silly to sit back and shoot threes." Williams said.
He and the Jayhawks don't have much time to think about the Sioux. Kansas takes on Boise State at 7 p.m. tonight at Allen Fieldhouse.
"They're a good basketball team, and I
told the guys not to expect an easy game," Williams said of the Broncos. "I think we'll come out with more energy." Kansas Game Notes
A Sports Illustrated survey of Big 12 Conference players stated that Williams was the one coach in the conference that players would least like to play for—and that's just fine with him.
In last week's issue, the magazine polled a player on every team in each conference on a variety of topics, including which coach in the conference they wouldn't want to be coached by.
Reves ties career point high in Jayhawks' bludgeoning of Lady Tigers
"I've had a lot more kids who have written me letters and told me they'd love to have played for me." Williams said. "Look on down there. Gene Keady (Purdue) is on there, too. He is a pretty demanding coach. He's won more Big Ten titles than anybody the last several years. Nobody likes the guy who always finishes on top."

Reves shot 12-of-19 from field goal goal, which helped the Jayhawks (1-0) to a 122-71 win against the Lady Tigers (0-1).
Bv Rebecca Barlow
Grambling State made one big mistake in yesterday's game against the Jayhawks: leaving Brooke Reves, senior forward, open and allowing her to shoot the basketball every chance she got.
She took advantage of the opportunity and scored 28 points, tying her career high record for points per game, which she set last year against Missouri.
Coach Marian Washington said she was pleased not only with Reves' performance but with the way all the players performed in the first half.
"Everybody that played I really thought worked really hard," Washington said. "There were only a few occasions where we let up a little bit. On the whole it was a solid 20-minute performance."
The Jayhawks' defense allowed Grambling State to shoot only 12 percent from the field in the first half. Their press shook the Lady Tigers as did their tough defense, which didn't allow Grambling State to get off many good shots. They made only four
field goals out of the 33 they attempted.
"We've been working really hard at defense," Reves said. "Coach's bread and butter is defense. All week we've been working really hard at the press. It was nice to see we could really execute."
The Jayhawks have been working on their defense in practice, and Reves was glad to see it come together on the court.
Unlike the Jayhawks' exhibition game against the Basketball Travelers, they were able to take control of the first half of the game. They took an early 21-2 lead and didn't give it up the whole game.
The Jayhawks came out with a fast-paced
tempo and didn't find a problem scoring. Reves said performing at the beginning of the game was important to Washington.
The Jayhawks had a good start, shooting 21-of-37 from field goal range and scoring 61 points in the first half. The Jayhawks' lead had an effect on they way Grambling State played against Reves and the rest of the team.
"They got real rough and pushy, and I don't blame them," Reves said. "When you get down by 50, or whatever it was, it's frustrating. You can't expect the call because the refs can't see everything, and you have to play through it and hope
nobody gets hurt."
Even though the Jayhawks had a good game offensively and defensively, Reves said there were still some things they needed to work on to prepare for tomorrow's game against Arkansas State.
"We definitely need to just make sure we have quality leaders on the floor and everybody talking and contributing," she said. "We kind of slacked off in the second half. It's hard to stay focused when you're up by so much, but we need to do that. It's going to come down the stretch in big games, and we need to put two halves together."

Despite an unanticipated performance in the first half, the Jayhawks shook off their New York hangover with a 92-63 scooter of a win against North Dakota. Eric Chenowith become the 40th player in Kansas history to score 1,000 career points, and Jeff Boschies didn't even try a three-pointer against the he game he up watching.

If the Broncos were looking for an easy way to open their season, playing No. 14 Cincinnati on the road was the wrong way to go about it. Still, Boise State put up a spirited fight against the Bearcats because the Broncos trailed only 57-55 with seven minutes left in the game — before fading late and losing 73-63.
**Center:** If Eric Chenowith keeps landing in foul trouble, Kansas fans will quickly forget about his hard work last summer. Again, Chenowish should dominate Richard Morgan, but Will he? Advantage: Kansas
intengibles: Boise State will be a better team than North Dakota. Meanwhile, Kansas has something to prove after its lethargic performance against the Sloux. And the Jayhawks should prove it with a 35-point victory.

Students arrested in demonstration
3,000 protest against School of Americas
By Rob Pazell

Kansan staff writer
Breeze Luetke-Stahlman sat in a bus, handcuffed for hours with eight other University of Kansas students, arrested for refusing to leave Fort Benning, Ga.
The students nonviolently demonstrated against reported human rights violations of the Latin School of the
Americas, which stands on the U.S.
Army Base.
Out of more than 3,000 protestors, 1,700 were processed — an action that Luetke-Stahlman, Olathe senior, said made the best statement.
"It made national news, and that's exactly what we were there to do," Luetke-Stahiman said.
A funeral procession with more than 3,000 people, including actor Martin Sheen, walked across a white line on a cold and rainy Sunday into Fort Benning. They were demonstrating against the School of the Americas, an organization accused of killing innocent people in Latin America. The protesters carried crosses and plastic coffins and read names of victims during the procession.

sion was stopped, and told to leave. Demonstrators could either walk off the base or get into buses that drove off the base.
Anna Wagner, Topeka senior and Latin American Solidarity member, said she and other members of an affinity group had discussed being processed and decided to stay when everyone was asked to leave the base.
They were a part of the "second wave" of the procession. She said the energy picked up when the remaining 1,700 "high risk" protesters kept moving forward.
"It became less solemn," said Wagner, who organized the University's student representation. "We were being nonviolent, but we wanted to make our point and not cooperate."
Those who marched farther were stopped two miles into the base and escorted onto buses — some went cooperatively, but others went limp and were handcuffed. They were taken to a processing station on the base where they waited for five hours to be processed and fingerprinted.
Wagner said she was not charged, but given a ban and a letter that said if she
crossed the line again, she could face up to six months in jail and or a $5,000 fine.
Wagner said she had crossed the line three years before, and more people were arrested this year than in years past. She said she thought the military made it a bigger deal to avert protests this year than in the past.
"They didn't want the media attention," Wagner said. "This definitely made a stronger statement than in years past."
Eliza Bennett, Marion senior, stood vigil and didn't cross the line. She said the arrests were completely expected, and it was a very calm situation.
"SOA watch did a wonderful job." Bennett said. "It never felt like things got out of control."
Rock Chalk winners ready to roll

Kansas staff reporter
The Rock Chalk Advisory Board announced last night the five living organizations that will perform in March's Rock Chalk Revue.
The winners, who will perform their skits paired with another living organization, were selected from 12 living groups that submitted notebooks containing their ideas for their performances.
The winners, who will perform a skit based on the theme "On the Record," were: Gamma Phi Beta sorority and Beta Theta Pi fraternity; Pi Beta Phi sorority and Phi Delta Theta fraternity; Kappa Delta sorority and Sigma Nu fraternity; Delta Delta Delta sorority and Phi Gamma Delta fraternity; and Chi Omega sorority and Sigma Phi Epsilon fraternity.
Erin Day, Chi Omega member and St. Francis junior, said she was thrilled to have her group chosen.
Day said it was hard to tell who would be selected for the revue before last night because she thought all of the groups were talented this year.
A group of anonymous judges who were either KU alumni or had some connection to theater and drama, selected the winners.
"For the Chi Omega women, this is the first time since 1989 that we've been selected," she said. "We've nicknamed it the Chi Omega curse. We just decided we were gone to break it, and we did."
Mandy Hanson, executive director of Rock Chalk and Marion senior, said the notes the judges made on each skit revealed there was an amazing amount of variety in the shows.
"All the shows we're really good," she said.
Anne Hoagland, assistant executive director and Lansing senior, agreed that there was a lot of variety among the programs submitted.
"I was really impressed with the creativity," Hoagland said. "The groups really stepped outside the normal Rock Chalk Revue themes. They really explored some new mediums."
Although all the winning organizations were greek, four residence halls banded together to create a notebook for the competition.
Templin Hall, Hashinger Hall, Lewis Hall and Ellsworth Hall all competed.
"They did a really good job." Hanson said. "I hope they do it again. Competition was really stiff this year."
The winning groups will have practices every day next semester until the show opens.
Rock Chalk Revue will take place at 7 p.m. from Thursday March 8, to Saturday, March 10, at the Lied Center.
The revue is the University's largest philanthropic effort. The proceeds from the show go to the United Way of Douglas County.

Tofu turkey to grace vegetarians' Thanksgiving tables

Holly Carter is excited for Thanksgiving break because she loves turkey.
She decided to become a vegetarian five years ago after sitting in a steak house and seeing pictures of cows on the wall — cows she was about to eat.
Carter, Wichita junior, loves turkey so much she can't eat it. Carter is a vegetarian.
"I was sitting there, and I saw my future meal — in a picture on a wall — and I decided that I couldn't eat that cow, or any animal, in fact," she said. "It just seemed wrong."
Carter has been a vegetarian since what she calls her "enlightened awaking" making this her fifth Thanksgiving as a vegetarian.
Carter said she would celebrate the holiday just as meat-eaters did
— with a turkey. But it's a special turkey.
"Yeah, I'm going to make a tofu turkey," she said. "It's real yummy."
Carter also doesn't eat dairy products or drink milk, which makes Thanksgiving dinner a little difficult, but manageable, she said.
"I still make mashed potatoes," she said. "But I make them with soy milk. For crying out loud, it's not rocket science."
Ann Chapman, registered dietitian at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said some students could be uneducated about healthy vegetarian diets. Cutting out some foods could cause a potential health risk if students are not informed, she said.
"You can be a vegetarian and be healthy," she said. "You just have to know how to fortify your diet with iron, zinc, calcium and other vitamins through foods." she said.
Chapman said she saw a fair amount of healthy vegetarians at Watkins, but she warned that vitamins were not a cure for a poorly planned diet. The best vitamins come from food, she said.
Carter agreed.
"This Thanksgiving, I will get all my vitamins from food," she said. "Like I do every meal."
But other vegetarians, such as Shannon Leslie, Wichita sophmore, aren't as lucky.
Leslie said going home for Thanksgiving would be a hassle, not because of her family, but because her eating habits were different from her meat-eating relatives.
"I will definitely have to pick around the food," she said. "I will probably eat a tofu sandwich later or just corn or a salad. It sucks, but not as much as it does for the turkey."

Lofty utility bills prompt strict heat regulations
By Jason Krall writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
If faculty and staff don't cut back on natural gas and electricity use at the University of Kansas, the money to cover utility bills could come out of other University budgets, administrators said yesterday.
Jim Long, assistant provost, said if measures such as lowering thermostats and asking faculty not to use space heaters didn't reduce the University's utility bills, money could come from other University budgets to cover the cost.
"The first thing we'd want to do is devise ways to cut back energy consumption," Long said. "The next step would be to ask the state for supplemental funding. Third, we'd have to look to University budgets if that became necessary."
Long declined to comment on whether cuts could be made from schools and departments that failed to comply with the new energy standards handed down by Provost David Shulenburzer last week.
Shulenburger asked that thermostats in campus buildings be set to 68 degrees during daytime hours and 60 degrees overnight and on weekends. They should be set at 65 degrees from 6 a.m. to 5 p.m. during winter break, when campus buildings are open, and 55 degrees overnight.
The new standards come following estimates that the University will spend about $2.37 million on natural gas this year, up almost $1 million from last year, because of higher natural gas prices.
Kristin Bowman-James, chairwoman of chemistry, said she had received complaints from students who planned to use chemistry labs on campus during the holiday break.
"Some students have noted that if they're going to be working over the break, which they're expected to, it could get pretty cold for them," Bowman-James said.
But Bowman-James said she had encouraged faculty and staff to comply.
"We would like to do everything we can to help," she said.
James Gentry, dean of journalism, sent an e-mail to journalism faculty encouraging them to abide by the provost's ban on space heaters and other measures to cut energy costs.
"If it doesn't cut the bill at the end of the year, all the units are going to have to kick in," he said. "But we don't think that's going to be the case."
Generally, other deans and department heads are encouraging staff to comply with the conservation measures, Gentry said.
"I think all the deans agree that this is the right thing to do," he said.

Man attempts to steal Delta Upsilon trophy
A man was arrested after trying to steal a trophy early Sunday morning from the Delta Upsilon fraternity house, 1025 Emery Road, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. Mike Patrick said a member of the fraternity caught the man trying to steal the trophy and tried to keep him from getting away. The fraternity member was poked in the eye and received a small cut on his cheek. Patrick said the man left the house
or putting his life on the way to Matthew Thomas Berg, 22, Iowa City, Iowa, was booked into the Douglas County Jail an hour later on charges of battery, burglary and attempting to commit a crime. His bond was set at $2,500.
LAWRENCE Eleven cars burglarized during the weekend
At least 11 cars were broken into this weekend on Bristol Terrace, in the 500 block of Eldridge Street and the 2700 and 2800 blocks of Bluestem Court, Lawrence police said
Three cars were burglarized on Eldridge Street, police said. Two of the cars belonged to KU students.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick said it appeared the suspect had broken windows to enter the cars and steal stereo equipment and CDs. The items stolen from the three cars totaled $3,225, and the damage was estimated at $650.
Three cars also were broken into on Bristol Terrace — one belonging to a KU student — in similar burglaries, Patrick said. He said the suspect broke windows to steal stereo components. Stolen items totaled $2,150, and damage to one of the cars was estimated at $350. Damage estimates for the other two cars were unknown.
Five cars were burglarized on Bluestem Court, none belonging to students. Patrick said someone called the police about a possible auto burglary and gave a description of the possible suspect's location and clothing.
Police found a man in the area and recovered some property that was reported stolen, Pattrick said. Police arrested Jesse Jorian Johnson, 22, of Kansas City, Mo., on charges of bur
glory of a vehicle, theft and obstruction of the legal process.
Patrick said if someone was arrested ed on one burglary and others occurred in the same area, that person would be investigated.
Johnson was being held in the Douglas County Jail yesterday on a $4,500 bond.

Woman left for dead calls 911 second time
TOPEKA — A woman who survived a suicide attempt dialed 911 for help and then passed out — and when rescuers arrived, they thought she was dead. She had to call 911 a second time before she was given any help.
Firefighters trained as emergency medical technicians were sent to the home of a 53-year-old woman in Soldier Township on Wednesday after she shot herself in the head, authorities said.
Firefighters found her unconscious and assumed she was dead without checking for a pulse. The ambulance was canceled, and firefighters and deputies waited outside the home to protect it as a crime scene.
Meanwhile, the woman regained consciousness and called 911 again. Firefighters outside the home were told of the call and rushed inside to provide medical care.
"It was a mistake," said Shawnee County Sheriff Dick Barta. "It should have never happened. I've never seen anything like this happen in my 32 years of law enforcement."
The woman, who was not identified, was listed in fair condition yesterday at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, Kan.

Bush's lead increases with overseas ballots
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — The differences in Florida vote totals remained paper-thin yesterday as lawyers for Al Gore and George W. Bush waged combat before the state's supreme court about a manual recount of punch ballots that could determine America's next president.
Republicans want to stop the ongoing hand recounts in three heavily Democratic counties. Democrats, looking for new votes to whittle down Bush's lead, are fighting to get them included in the final official tally.
A weekend tally of overseas absentee ballots stretched Bush's official lead. But uncompleted hand recounts during the weekend in Broward and Palm Beach counties cut Bush's lead to 834 votes as of midnight Sunday.
Clinton returns home after Vietnam visit
ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska — President Clinton flew home from Vietnam early yesterday, ending his historic mission by telling the communist foe of a generation past that Americans "wish to be your partners."
After a week abroad, the president headed back to the White House, still uncertain whether Vice President Al Gore or Republican George W. Bush will succeed him there in just two months. Clinton's journey took him first to Brunei for the Asia Pacific Economic Forum. He then became the first American president ever to go to Hanoi and the first to visit Vietnam since the fall of Saigon and the withdrawal of the last U.S. forces there in 1975.
The Vietnam war cost 58,000 Americans their lives and an estimated 3 million Vietnamese lives.
Two dead, nine wounded in Gaza Strip bombing
WORLD
JERUSALEM — A bomb exploded yesterday near an armored bus that was taking children and teachers from a Jewish settlement in the Gaza Strip to an elementary school.
Two adults were killed and nine passengers wounded, among them five children. A little-known splinter of a tiny radical PLO faction, the Damascus-based Omar Al Mukhtar group, claimed responsibility in a leaflet faxed to a Western news agency.
However, roadside bombings in Gaza mostly have been carried out by Hamas and Islamic Jihad, two Islamic militant groups that have tried to wreck Israeli-Palestinian peace agreements with bombing and shooting attacks against Israelis.
Peru's president plans to resign sometime today
LIMA,' Peru — President Alberto Fujimori, besieged by an escalating corruption scandal surrounding his fugitive ex-spy chief, is calling it quits, ending the 10-year reign of one of Latin America's most revered and vilified leaders.
Fujimori, on a visit to his ancestral homeland Japan, announced in a written statement early yesterday that he would resign within 48 hours. His decision took into account that opposition lawmakers won control of Congress last week, the statement said.
It did not elaborate, but a motion was before the 120-seat legislature to remove Fujimori as president on constitutional grounds of "moral incapacity."

Sallie Mae workers offered jobs
Incoming business has similar wages, benefits
Special to the Kansan
By Theresa Freed
A Kansas City business is expanding to Lawrence and bringing almost 500 new jobs with it this winter. Some of those jobs will go to laid off Sallie Mae employees who worked in the building that DST Systems Inc. is buying.
DST, a mutual fund servicing company, is opening a Lawrence operation at 2000 Bluffs Drive.
Sallie Mae expects to be shut down in Lawrence by Monday, Jan. 1. Elaine Nelson, president of Kansas operations for Sallie Mae, said DST was hoping for a "no lights off" transaction with Sallie Mae, meaning that there would be no break during the company changeover.
The company purchased the Sallie Mae Student Loan Servicing Corporation building this week. DST is working out the final details with Sallie Mae administration until the move is made. Sallie Mae is expected to move to Indiana by the first of the year, closing its 16-year Lawrence operation. The business will move to Indiana after merging with USA Group, another student loan servicer.
DST is actively trying to recruit all 300 Sallie Mae employees who are preparing to look for new jobs in December.
With comparable wages and benefit proposals, DST expects a majority of the Sallie Mae employees to be the first hired members of their staff. Many former Sallie Mae employees, just laid off, already have started training with DST.
Valerie Stone, who works for Sallie Mae, said she was glad to hear her job search had ended.
"I wasn't looking forward to trying to find a new job with similar wages and hours to what I have now," said Stone, Lawrence senior. "It's a huge relief."
DST is offering starting wages at about $10 an hour, and is also recruiting full-time and parttime workers.
Misikir Tilahun, Lawrence senior who works for Sallie Mae, also is excited about the new company coming to town.
ON THE RECORD
DST is accepting online applications from Lawrence-area residents and hopes to have a full staff by the end of the year. The company expects to eventually have a staff of 1,000 employees.
"They are offering a lot of options, some of which are similar to benefits Sallie Mae provides," Tilahun said. "They are also offering flexible work schedules and made promises to work with college students."

Former student dies after battle with cancer
By Meghan Bainum
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Kouadio "Marcel" Brou, 45, died Saturday after battling cancer for nearly three years.
Brou was born on Aug. 29, 1955, the son of Marcellin and Theresa Brou in the Ivory Coast, West Africa. He moved to Lawrence in 1989.
Brou earned his master's degree in political science at the University of Kansas in 1993. He was a KU student senator, a member of Amnesty International, a graduate teaching assistant in the department of French and Italian, and president of the African Student Association.
Brou served as the L.I.N.K. coordinator from 1994 to 1996 and continued to serve on the L.I.N.K. board for several years. He also was involved with the Knights of Columbus and was the assistant director of development at St. Lawrence Catholic Center.
John Flyn, director of development at the Catholic Center, worked with Brou. He said Brou was a good man with strong faith who never had a harsh word to say about anybody.
"He treated everyone with dignity," Flynn said. "He was a good man, and he accepted every challenge that was presented to him. He always had a can-do attitude."
"He was a very fine person, a very giving person — extremely friendly and service oriented," she said. "I am very sorry for his family because I know this is a great loss to his wife and children, but also to his friends and the others who knew him here."
Surviving Brou are his wife, Toni Brou, and his three sons, Franklin, Frederick and Freeman Brou who live in Lawrence, as well as four brothers, Maxime, David, Phillipe and Laurent Brou; five sisters, Patricia, Mathilde, Michellin, Monique and Emma Brou; and his mother, Therese Brou, all of Abidian, Ivory Coast, West Africa.
Services for Brou will be at 2 p.m. today at the St. Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Road. Burial will be at Mt. Calvary Cemetery in Lawrence.
Memorials in Brou's name can be sent to the Brou Children Education Fund at the Douglas County Bank in care of the Warren-McElwain Mortuary in Lawrence
Study says KU African Americans have difficulty identifying racism
By Jason Krall writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
African-American students at the University of Kansas have more difficulty identifying racism than students at a predominantly African-American college in Louisiana, according to a study conducted by a KU researcher.
- Edited by Amy Randolph
Shannon Campbell, assistant professor of communication studies and journalism, measured how seven African-American KU students and six African-American students at Xavier University in Louisiana identified their race.
All the Xavier students had a stronger sense of identity as African Americans, while five of the KU students identified themselves as Black and two as African American.
Campbell said that students who identified with the uniqueness of the African-American experience identified themselves as African American, while students who thought of themselves as Black tended to hold more integrationist views.
Campbell found that the KU stu
dents had more trouble picking out racist content in two sitcoms popular with African-American audiences — a finding Campbell said could be associated with how the students identified themselves.
But the limited sample of students has drawn some skepticism.
Alberta Wright, assistant director of Multicultural Affairs, said she didn't think the study's findings indicated how most African-American students at the University viewed their race.
"It's not fair to ask seven students to represent 500-some students," Wright said, referring to all African-American students at the University. "Everyone has a different background, and everyone has their own sense of racial identity."
Students viewed an episode of UPN's Moesha in which a Caucasian police officer, the only Caucasian character in the episode, arrested Moesha's brother. Xavier students took issue with the show's lone authority figure being Caucasian, but KU students did not, Campbell said.
"Students at KU never identified that as any form of racism, the fact

that the only White person on the show was in a position of power," said Campbell, who released the findings of the study last week after conducting the focus groups last spring.
The KU students also seemed to see racial conflicts only in situations involving African Americans and Caucasians. When viewing an episode of UPN's The Parkers in which two African-American characters went to Mexico on a vacation, the Xavier students caught on to racial overtones in their interaction with Latino characters in the episode, and KU students did not, she said.
"If it didn't affect them; it was really difficult for them to identify." she said.
But Wright said she wasn't surprised that KU African-American students had trouble identifying racial overtones in interactions between African Americans and Latinos, who tended to identify closely with one another on the Lawrence campus.
"There's not a great deal of racism between Blacks and Latinos," she said. "They're not enemies here — they're contemporaries."
Campbell said she chose the two programs because they rated as the most popular with African-American households. She added that the KU students found the two shows more humorous than the Xavier students.
"They allowed comedy to act as a cloak for the racism that was exhibited in the shows," she said.
Campbell declined to outline possible reasons for the differences in the two groups, but she said most of the KU students were from Kansas, and the Xavier students hailed from several different Southern states.

"It's 1,000 percent better in the front," said Nancy Ness, owner of
In October, concerned business owners met with the City Commission to resolve trash problems associated with the active downtown nightlife. Tonight, the commission will revisit the problem and see if things are better than before.
It appears they are.
Carmesi, an interior design store at 1012 Massachusetts St. "I'm alright pleased with the improvement. There's still a mess in the alleyway, but it's a lot better."
Ness said bar owners were taking a proactive approach to the problem and picking up paper plates, bottles, cups and other debris. She said the nightlife and daytime retail shops fed off each other, and she hoped a mutual respect could be maintained.
"When you keep your store frontage clean, and behind your store, it shows that you care about your store and your city." Ness said.
Commissioner Erv Hodges said he noticed more business owners cleaning the sidewalks, but he still was concerned about products such as disposable cups or plates.
Hodges said everyone, especially young people, needed to be aware of where they were putting their trash.
The city is buying six additional trash receptacles for downtown, and the Kansas Licensed Beverage Association has recommended the city select an ashtray receptacle design that businesses could purchase to reduce cigarette butts.
"All I can do is encourage everyone in this city to take care of their trash, and then we won't have a problem," he said.
Peach Madl, president of the KLBA
CITY COMMISSION MEETING
When: 6:35 tonight
When: 8:35 longgm
Where: City Hall. 6 E. Sixth St.
At tonight's meeting, the commission will:
Receive a report on downtown trash problems and the recent efforts to clean up the mess from bars.
up the mess from bats
Receive an East Lawrence neighborhood revitalization plan.
Receive a report concerning the use of city right-of-way for telecommunications purposes.
and owner of the Sandbar, 117 E. Eighth St., said that, according to city code, each business was responsible for the sidewalk in front of its business. She said raising the issue at the City Commission meeting made all business owners aware of the problems.
"It isn't inclusive to a certain type of business — it's everybody," she said. "Now everybody is on the alert; we're all aware, and we're trying to do a better job."

Senate denies club more funds
By Kursten Phelps
Kansan staff writer
The Sketch Comedy Club is not too happy with Student Senate after the Senate Finance Committee voted against hearing a funding bill to grant the group extra money last Wednesday.
Marty Grusznik, producer of the Sketch Comedy Club, said he was disappointed the Finance Committee refused to consider the bill for additional funding.
"Understandably, it was last minute," Grusznis said. "But they didn't even give us the opportunity to hear us. They didn't even vote whether to pass the bill or not, just why we wanted this money, and they voted against it."
Chiles said the group was granted $317, the standard funding for an organization, earlier this semester. But as a new organization, she said, it didn't realize it was going to need more money to advertise the premiere of its sketch comedy show Tuesday, Jan. 23. Thus, the group tried to introduce a bill requesting an additional $800.
Tracy Chiles, Numemaker senator, sponsored the bill and tried to bring it off the floor for consideration. The bill was not on the regular agenda because the club came to her after the deadline to submit bills for last Wednesday's committee meetings. To pull a bill off the floor, a senator must make a motion to do so, and the motion must be approved by a majority vote.
"But they were willing to accept $400 or $500," Chiles said. "They were willing to go that low."
But Ben Burton, Finance Committee member, said the group was asking for too much money.
"I would have voted against it, anyway," Burton said. "To me, it's just kind of ridiculous to ask for that much advertising money. There's a reason there's a set limit for funding."
The group wanted the money to advertise in the Kansan, but Burton said other means of advertising, such as sidewalk chalking and filers, were cheaper and more effective.
Chiles said she suspected another reason the committee voted against hearing the bill was the full agenda that night.
"They saw that they had previously funded the group, and there were three other huge bills going through," Chiles said. "They probably thought we needed to get through the regular agenda. I was frustrated because they didn't even give us a chance to hear us out."
Grusznis said the committee's actions reflected poorly on Senate.
"It's extremely horrible." Gruszniz said. "They're supposed to represent students, and our club is for the whole campus. Everyone can see the show and have an opportunity to work with production. It was kind of a big slap in the face to not even try to listen to us."

Perspective Activist urges cooperation in Tibetan plight
have been involved in Students for a Free Tibet at the University of Kansas for two years. We get together weekly to
hear what is going on, to discuss what is to be done and, occasionally, to put up fliers on the walls to attract more members.
Although our work is not difficult, I had a special difficulty because I lived in Jayhawker Towers. Jayhawker Towers is a fascinatingly international place, and you can make as many friends as you want from diverse a number of countries as you can imagine. My problem was, however, that there are Chinese residents who might be unhappy with the Students for a Free Tibet flier saying, "In 1959 the Chinese government invaded the peaceful Buddhist nation of Tibet. As a result of the illegal occupation of Tibet, over 1.2 million Tibetans have died, thousands have been falsely imprisoned ... "So I thought it might be better to be sterile.
The fliers put up at the towers were removed in a few days, which made me uncomfortable because it might be a sign that my job, against my intention, made them uncomfortable. It is a weird situation, but I did what I think is correct.

Finally, my secret
Finally, my secret activism became noticed when a Chinese classmate of mine happened to see a bunch of fliers on my table. She was hurt "What are these?" she said. "Do you want to separate my country?" Totally embarrassed, I could not find words to respond for a while. Finally, we sat together, and I tried to make her understand our activity. She told me the reality of what it is like to be a person from the country in question.
I said our aim was not to separate China but to improve the human rights situation in Tibet, and we never criticized China in our meetings. Even the Dalai Lama says he does not want to be independent but to be autonomous.
For me, it was fruitful to talk with her because I could get out of the possible pitfall of prejudice. She said that the Chinese government had a more generous policy toward the minorities than outsiders might imagine, and that she was sad because her country was stigmatized as aggressive by Western propaganda.
I concluded that it is China that will eventually be responsible for Tibetan issues, however vocal we foreigners may be about it. None of us has anything against China and none of us thinks China will be impaired by our tiny activism in light of its brilliant culture and history. Rather, what we try to do is to help China come up with solutions with which everyone concerned will be happy. On this path, I realized, it is essential for Students for a Free Tibet to have Chinese friends to help correct our prejudices and misunderstanding and to make our understanding balanced so that we can act righteously. With this in mind, I cordially invite Chinese friends to Students for a Free Tibet meetings to talk about our common problems.
Upon hearing her talk, I suspected I had been blinded by one-sided information. Frankly, it was painful to hear her asking, "Have you ever been to Tibet? How do you know that 1.2 million Tibetans died?" True, all my knowledge about the issue came from Western sources rather than Chinese sources, which might have made me unknowingly partial. I suggested she come to a group meeting and share her ideas with us. To my disappointment, my suggestion was rejected right away.

THEY'RE WAITING FOR THE LAST OF THE ABSENTEE LAWYERS TO ARRIVE.
Last semester, Students for a Free Tibet had two events. On March 14, we invited a Tibetan monk who had been imprisoned for 30 years in Tibet, and he gave a public talk to 100 people. On April 17, we served free Tibet food to the public at Ecumenical Christian Ministries. In retrospect, however, I do not remember if there were any Chinese at these events. And I thought to myself. What are we doing? The Tibetan problem is also a Chinese problem, and are we working on the Tibetan problem without Chinese participation?

Kansam editorial reveals inaccuracies and bias
On the editorial page in Thursday's edition of the Kansan, the Pass/Fail segment of the page gave a failing rating to Katherine Harris, Florida's secretary of state, for not allowing manual recounts submitted after the statutory deadline of 5 p.m. last Tuesday.
The Kansan questions the integrity of Ms. Harris, asking if a Republican secretary of state appointed by a Republican governor can be impartial. Perhaps the Kansan assumed that since the secretary of state of the United States is appointed by the president, that Florida's secretary of state is appointed by the governor of Florida.
A small amount of research would reveal that, in fact, the secretary of state of Florida is not appointed, but elected at-large by the people of Florida. She was not appointed by Gov. Jeb Bush of Florida.
A little more in-depth research would have revealed that in addition to the facts above, Gov. Jeb Bush actually endorsed and campaigned for Ms. Harris' opponent in the Florida Republican primary for secretary of state. To suggest, as the Kansan has, that Ms. Harris is an appointed partisan, beholden to the Republican governor, couldn't be further from the truth. The Kansan should do a better job in the future to make sure that even seemingly insignificant sections of the paper, such as the Pass/Full segment, are fair and accurate.

Machine counting ballots removes human error, bias
Friday's editorial "Recount in Florida is Necessary" misses many major points. Both parties were aware of the type of ballot used in the Florida election long before the election. Both parties had an opportunity to protest the ballot, but neither did. Only when the machine count was against Gore did he protest.
The advantage of machine-counting ballots is that it takes out the factor of human error and human bias. Although this process is not perfect, it was decided that this was the best way for Florida.
Since the hand recount has begun, the chads have fallen off, tainting the ballots. The problem with hand recounting in Palm Beach County is there is no good reason. Regardless of confusion over the ballot, recounting by hand won't remedy this problem. Al Gore wants a hand recount in Palm Beach County because in any hand recount, the totals rise, and since this county is heavily Democratic, it will benefit Gore.
John Strawell

Before this election, the standard of machine counting was established in Florida, and that is how we should decide the results. If there was something wrong with the ballots, it should have been remedied before the election.
Columnist's attack on Houston based on ignorance, prejudice
I am writing in response to Amanda Kashcule's article on the NFL selection of Super Bowl sites. I was born and raised in Houston, and, having great pride in my city and state, I was truly offended by her slanderous comments and uninformed opinions about both.
It would seem to be common knowledge in journalism that a writer needs valid arguments to support his or her opinion, or it has no merit in the eyes of readers. I found no such arguments to support her bashing a city that more than four million people have found to be pretty and "hip" enough for them.
Houston has so much to offer, such as Enron Field, the Astrodome, Bayou Place (a downtown entertainment complex), the Galleria, Hermann Park, Houston Zoological Gardens and incredible museums and theater districts. We also have a wonderful mix of people from every walk of life.
But not only was Houston disparaged, Texas was as well. I am one of many out-of-state students from Texas attending KU, and calling our home state an "abomination" reflects an extremely ungracious attitude and none of the ideals of the "United States" of America. Next time you think a state should seclude, you might want to take the time to visit it first.

SUVs bring unknown dangers
Despite the popularity of SUVs, they carry risks most consumers overlook.
Before buying a sport utility vehicle, drivers should understand the risks involved. SUVs are four times more likely than cars to roll in an accident, and they account for one-quarter of the 42,000 automobile deaths each year.
The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and other lawmakers have not passed adequate regulations to prevent these accidents. According to www.suvsafety.com, SUVs do not have to meet the same safety standards as passenger cars, because federal rules classify SUVs as light trucks. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration began to research the possibility of universal standards for SUVs in 1994 but stopped because it would have required redesigning nearly all SUVs, proving there are serious problems with the vehicles.
The most recent regulation to protect passengers requires manufacturers to place a graphic label in SUVs warning drivers that the vehicle has "higher rollover risk."
SUVs have a high ground clearance and low track width, making the top-heavy vehicle difficult to control and more likely to roll over with more weight in the vehicle. Joe Kimmel, consultant for USA Today, said a 4-inch increase in most vehicles' track width could decrease the likelihood of rollover for vehicles expected to roll more than 34 percent of the time.
Safety consultants have reported that roofs must be strogg enough to resist severe compression when the car rolls over, but they have not mandated a roof crush test or regulations that would force manufacturers to make changes in newer models.
Some manufacturers refuse to strengthen roofs because of increased weight and cost. However, adding rollbars would add only 50 pounds, cost approximately $250 and prevent deaths.
Regulation standards should be passed to include roof safety features and clear information of driving risks. If not, consumers should consider an alternative vehicle until manufacturers and lawmakers make changes that save lives.

Allen reflects on season, reported assault incident

More than the disappointment of concluding his fourth year as Kansas' football coach without going to a bowl game, Terry Allen is most upset with the reported off-season sexual assault incident that turned into a public relations nightmare for the program.
"That's probably harder than any loss I've ever gone through," Allen said. "That's the one (topic) that has been hard for me because of my own personal integrity."
Allen had his final press conference of the season yesterday. The 30-minute session delved into topics ranging from the 4-7 season to the program's future.
The reported sexual assault took place in February. Allen allegedly had the two football players who were accused of assaulting a Kansas women's soccer player run stairs at Memorial Stadium as punishment. The flasco ended with no charges being pressed, although one player involved did transfer to Garden City Community College because of academic disqualification. The other player continued to play regularly during the season, which only fueled the public out-cry.
Allen said he was not sure if anything could be done to rectify the situation.
Now, he must focus on rectifying another subpar year at a school he thought he could turn into a post-season player the past two years. After a season-opening loss at Southern Methodist, critics already were calling for Allen's job, although he still has two years remaining on his contract. He has survived up to this point through full support of the athletics department — particularly athletics director Bob Frederick.
Allen said he was sure the last two recruiting classes made for a promising future, although he said this season's junior college crop did not perform as well as expected.
"That's been one of our disappointments," Allen said.
Allen and players conceded that the heat was on.
"We've got to come back next year," said junior cornerback Andrew Davison. "We need to beat the teams we're supposed to."
Junior wide receiver Harrison Hill agreed.
"We have to get something going for the future." Hill said.
The Jayhawks, who have not been to a bowl game since 1995, are 18-27 with Allen as coach. Recent history offers hope that the best is yet to come for Kansas. Glen Mason, the coach prior to Allen, was 14-29 in his first four seasons at the University. His fifth, 1992, was the charm. Kansas went 8-4 and earned an Aloba Bowl berth.
Kansas finished this season on a four-game losing streak and was blown out in the final three games by Nebraska, Texas and Iowa State.
"To go four weeks losing like we did, we were probably at the lowest confidence level you could be,"
Allen said.
Questions kept popping up yesterday about the SMU loss, which Kansas never could forget. Allen said he thought if Kansas would have won that game and still was bowl-eligible heading into the finale at Iowa State, the season would have ended more positively.
"I'm still silly enough to believe if we were 5-5 going into Iowa State, it would have been a different outcome," he said, referring to Saturday's 38-17 loss in Ames, Iowa.
Allen, forever the optimist, said getting six to eight juco players at offensive line and linebacker could improve the team a lot.
He said he liked the group he had now, especially the redshirt freshmen and sophomores who would see more playing time next year.
"I wish we could start spring football tonight," Allen said.
But what Allen would like, most of all, is to keep Kansas' problems on the field.

Oklahoma, K-State to battle for Big12 title
Bv Allian Davis

Kansan sportswriter
No. 1 Oklahoma and No. 8 Kansas State both survived difficult games Saturday, setting up their contest in the Big 12 Championship game.
Oklahoma (10-0, 7-0 Big 12 Conference) defeated stubborn Texas Tech (7-5, 3-5) 27-13 in Norman, Okla., clinching the Big 12 South Division title.
K-State (10-2, 6-2) rallied from an early 14-0 deficit, overcoming Missouri (3-8, 2-6) 28-24 in Columbia, Mo., to capture the Big 12 North Division crown.
The championship game will be 7 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 2, at
Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo.
12 CONFERENCE
RIG 12 CONFERENCE
State.
This past weekend, Oklahoma State trounced Baylor (2-9, 0-8) 50-22 in Stillwater, settling the question of the worst team in the Big 12 South Division. The Bears are stuck with that dubious honor and are the only team in the Big 12 without a conference win.
The Sooners have one more regular-season game to play, but it will not affect the Big 12 South Division standings. Oklahoma will play Oklahoma State (3-7, 1-6) at 2:30 p.m. Saturday in Stillwater, Okla.
It is unlikely that the Cowboys will beat Oklahoma, and the Sooners are likely to carry the No. 1 label into the Big 12 Championship game against K-
Oklahoma must defeat Oklahoma State and K-State to advance to the Bowl Championship Series National Championship game at 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 3, at the FedEx Orange Bowl in Miami.
14.
Oklahoma already owns a win against the Wildcats, defeating them 41-31 in Manhattan on Oct.
If K-State wins, the team probably will not qualify for the BCS championship game but will be eligible for a BCS game. If the Wildcats lose, they will go to a less prestigious bowl.
Three other bowl-eligible Big 12 teams have games remaining that could affect which team goes to which bowl.
No. 9 Nebraska (8-2, 5-2) will play Colorado (3-7, 3-4) at 11 a.m. Friday in Lincoln, Neb. With a win, the Cornhuskers could qualify for a BCS bowl game.
No. 22 Texas A&M (7-3, 5-2) and No. 12 Texas (8-2, 6-1) will battle at 2:30 p.m. Friday in Austin, Texas. Texas must win to qualify for a BCS bowl game. The Aggies already are ineligible for a BCS bowl because they cannot win the required nine games.

Unbreakable is a flawed follow-up to The Sixth Sense
By David Germain The Associated Press
In Unbreakable, Willis plays David Dunn, the lone survivor of a train wreck that kills 131 people. Except he does not just survive; David is such a die-hard, he comes through without a scratch. Enter Elijah Price (Samuel L. Jackson), a wild-eyed prophet cruelly nicknamed Mr. Glass because of a medical condition that left his skeleton so brittle he has sustained 54 broken bones in his life. Elijah lays out a crazy explanation for David's
Inevitably, writer-director M. Night Shyamalain and Bruce Willis face loftily elevated expectations after last year's horror sensation The Sixth Sense. Their follow-up, Unbreakable, is no Sixth Sense. Any counting on a repeat of the "Oh, wow" twist the first film delivered will be disappointed.
Unbreakable evokes the hushed, creepy mood of The Sixth Sense, but the movie offers little beyond dark atmosphere. Its story is less accessible, and some may find it downright silly.
survival, something to do with the world of myth and folklore he finds reflected in the comic books he became addicted to during his convalescences growing up.
The movie has one commercial edge above The Sixth Sense. The first film opened strongly but not spectacularly; its success came as audiences talked it up and went back to see it again.
Unbreakable looks to follow an opposite pattern, opening hugely on the strength of The Sixth Sense but fading faster as word spreads that it lacks the wallop of its predecessor.
After all, everybody loves a good ghost story. Not everybody loves a comic-book tale.
What follows is an occasionally intriguing exploration of purpose, unfilled potential and the kind of lucid lunacy that can develop in an angry mind encased by a debilitated body.
But Shyamalan's whole idea is underdone, and it plays out with more style than substance. Unbreakable feels on the cusp of going somewhere revelatory without ever arriving.

Newcomer savors time in spotlight
By Chris Wristen sports@kanson.com Kanson sportswriter
Chris Zerbe's eyes have probably never been as wide as they were with 11 minutes left in last night's 101-61 win against Boise State.
Zerbe, junior forward, said he hoped to get in the game but didn't dream of playing that early at Kansas. Maybe he should dream more often, because that one came true by the grace of coach Roy Williams — and thanks to poor ball-handling by his teammates.
"At one point, I got really mad at the five guys that were in there, and we only had four of those other guys over there that had experience," Williams said. "So I just put him in there with them, and he did a good job."
Zerbe entered the game for one minute and immediately rebounded a miss by senior center Eric Chenowith, putting up a shot of his own that glanced off the bottom of the rim. Just 40 seconds later, sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich found Zerbe open under the bucket for a lavun.
Zerbe said the early miss was a result of nerves.
line rush." he said. "You get in, and your heart starts pounding; you get sweaty palms."
zerbe calmed his nerves and redeemed himself with the made shot but returned to the bench soon after.
But Zerbe wasn't finished. He returned for two more minutes and drained back-to-back lay-ins that pushed Kansas past the century mark. He hit three of his four shot attempts in the game in lieu of scoring a career-high six points. Zerbe said he appreciated the crowd support and said that aspect was the biggest eye-opener for him.
"You score a bucket and you can hear the crowd, but when you're coming back and you see everyone standing up and clapping, you realize, 'wow, that's for me.' "Zerbe said. "I've always dreamed (of playing for Kansas), but I've never actually thought it would ever happen."
Scoring points and hearing his name called isn't what's most important to Zerbe, however. He said he was just enjoying the opportunity to be a Javhawk.
"This is my ultimate dream, in terms of basketball," Zerbe said. "I couldn't ask for anything more than to be a part of this team. It's just unreal."

Kansas junior runner vies at championships
By Ryan Malashock
sports@kansan.com
Kansas switerwriter
Junior Charlie Gruber capped off an amazing roller coaster ride of a season yesterday by placing 61st at the NCAA Cross Country Championships in Ames, Iowa.
Gruber finished with a time of 31.24, which was just 1:10 off the pace of men's champion Keith Kelly of Providence College.
Arkansas took home the men's title, while Colorado won the women's title.
Gruber began this season by sitting out Kansas' first two meets while recovering from a difficult summer of running. Upon returning to action, Gruber eased his way back into contention. Gruber's best performance of the season came at the District V Regionals Nov. 11 when he placed fourth and qualified for yesterday's meet.
Coach Stanley Redwine said the coaching staff was proud of Gruber's performance yesterday and the progress he had made this season.
"We thought he did a great job today, and we are excited that he
ran so well." Redwine said. "Charlie put in a lot of hard work this season, and it all paid off for him today."
Redwine also said the support Gruber received at the meet was very special to him.
"It was nice to see Charlie's friends, family and teammates, as well as KU administration and ex-coaches all here to cheer him on," Redwine said.
I can't say enough about the experience Charlie gained from this whole event," Redwine said. "Being his first year at the national meet was tough, but now he has the experience to grow as a runner for next year."
With no graduating seniors on this year's squad. Redwine said he was expecting big things from the men's team next season. He added that Gruber's experience at the NCAA Championships would contribute to that foundation for next year and that experience would assist in his further improvement as a runner.
Gruber's appearance in Ames at the NCAA Championships was the first for a Kansas runner since 1998.

Kansas forwards corral Broncos
By Michael Rigg sports @kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
It took only eight seconds last night for the Jayhawks to send a message that this game was different.
Kansas followed up Friday's lethargic performance against North Dakota by blasting out of the gate with a Nick Collison dunk on its first possession, then kept up the maddening pace to crush Boise State 101-61.
The Collision dunk opened the floodgates that the Broncos were never able to stop, as the third-ranked Jayhawks inside play early built up a 33-point halftime lead. Once again, Kansas was paced by senior forward Kenny Gregory, who tallied 25 points to accompany career-high 11 rebounds.
In some ways, Gregory and the Jayhawks were scared into victory, as coach Roy Williams reminded his team in practice that the Broncos were winning against No. 16 Cincinnati in the
second half before Boise State eventually lost to the Bearcats.
"We wanted to come out and send a message," Gregory said. "Coach Williams was really worried about this team, so we wanted to come out early and not give them any confidence."
That's exactly what the Jayhawks did, building up a 28-12 rebounding advantage at the half and holding the Broncos to just 37 percent shooting for the game.
"It's the first time all season that I've felt remotely good about anything we've done defensively." Williams said of the team's defense, which also amassed 10 blocked shots.
Still, Williams wasn't completely satisfied with his team's 40-point cakewalk last night. He was most dismayed by the Jayhawks' 24 turnovers.
But Bronco coach Rod Jensen said he knew the Jayhawks were for real.
"Kansas is a better team, no ifes, and ors but about it." Jensen said. "I think with the team Kansas has, they have a shot to

win the National Olympic win"
Kansas Game Notes
Kansas Game No. 2
After伯erating Jayhawk fans following a win against Colorado in January, Williams was quick to praise the gathering of 15,600 last night.
"Think about our crowd — North Dakota on Friday night and Boise State tonight," Williams said. "There are a lot of places in the country that can't have 16,000. There were a few empty seats up in the corners, but not many. So I'd like you to say the good things I say about the crowd, too. They had their well-conditioned butts in the right place."
Senior forward Luke Axtell, who has yet to play this season because of a sprained ankle, will practice Thursday and may play in Kansas' Saturday game against Washburn.
Williams will learn today if freshman point guard Mario Kinsey will need surgery on his left leg. Kinsey had surgery in October to relieve pain in his right leg caused by an abundance of exercise and stress on the leg and might have to have the same procedure done to his left leg.

'Hawks, Sooners seek season-clinching wins
By Sarah Warren
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
All's well that ends well.
Saturday night, the Kansas volleyball team will travel to Norman, Okla., for its final game of the 2000 season. Just like the Sooners, the Jayhawks are looking for a win to push them positively into 2011.
The last time the two teams met, the Jayhawks (14-14, 5-14 in the Big 12 Conference) downed the Sooners in three games and sent them back to Oklahoma with their sixth-straight spanking. Now, the Jayhawks and the Sooners each have lost their past four matches and are looking to end the season on a winning note.
"They depend a lot on their middles for offense," said coach Ray Bechard. "So you know a lot of balls will be going there. They have some tendencies unlike some teams that are very balanced."
And the Jayhawks know exactly where to look to keep a positive outlook on their side of the net.
Those tendencies have names: Cathy Cook and Holly McMillan. The pair of senior middle blockers leads the Sooners with 60 total blocks each on the season.
According to Bechard, the 7-19, 2-16 Sooners probably won't mix things up going into their final game of the season.
always go back to here. The Jayhawks, however, are all over the board. Seniors Amy Myatt, Nancy Bell and Danielle Geronymo lead Kansas, respectively, in kills and prove that the Jayhawks are aces from all sides of the net.
"I think they'll still go to their strengths," Bechard said. "When you get a tense situation, you always go back to the same thing."
Myatt has 443 kills on the season, averaging 4.57 kills per game. She is just eight kills

Women's basketball team braces for first road test
By Zac Hunter
Kansan sportswriter
The 'Hawks, 10, take their act on the road to Arkansas State at 7 tonight after winning their regular season opener on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse, 122-71. Now they play an Arkansas State team that has won its previous two games against Kansas.
The latest win for the Lady Indians was a two-point victory last year in the fieldhouse.
After slapping around Grambling State, it's time for Kansas to pick on a team its own size.
Senior guard Jennifer Jackson said she knew winning in Jonesboro, Ark., would not be easy.
Maybe the Jayhawks have to prove they can win a close game against the Lady Indians. In the last two seasons, Arkansas State has beaten Kansas by an average of three points.
"They've beaten us two years in a row, and I think that we've got to go in there and really prove something," she said.
However, this year may be a different story. Coach Marian Washington said the strength of Arkansas State was its inside play. Heading into this game, Kansas' best performers have been its forwards.
But one might wonder what Kansas actually has to prove.
Senior forwards Brooke Reves and Jaclyn Johnson scored a combined 53 points against Grambling State. The Kansas post players are looking forward to taking on the Arkansas State front-court.
"I think our posts are some of the best defensive posts in the Big 12," Johnson

"It's certainly going to be something I'm going to enjoy," Jackson said. "But before we do that, we've got Arkansas State on Tuesday."
Despite Jackson's enthusiasm about returning home, she said she knew the Hawks were going to Alabama to take care of business first.

Players Choice Awards skew results from Big 12 poll
If you are one of those sports fans who subscribes to that horrible piece of hogwash ESPN the Magazine instead of Sports Illustrated, you need to change your ways. Go out and buy the newest issue of Sports Illustrated — the Nov. 20 issue with goofy-looking Shane Battier on the cover. Then read how the best sports magazine in the world slapped both Roy Williams and you, Kansas fans, in the face.
Yes, on page 73, your favorite coach and even you, the person reading this column, got disrespected. You see, SI did a special "Players Choice Awards" section, allowing one player from each Division I college basketball team in a major conference to vote for the best and the worst in his conference.
The results — Roy Williams wins "opposing coach you'd least like to play for" and Oklahoma State wins "toughest place to play."
Now I will dissect and identify the horrible fallacies in this players' poll.
(Here would be a great place to insert an obligatory joke about Florida and the national election. But, alas, I refuse.)
First off, when I say "won," I use the term loosely. As stated above, every team had one person vote on his own conference. So there were only 12 players who were casting choices for these categories.
Three out of 12 players said they'd like to play for Roy Williams the least, for a minuscule 25 percent. Once again, only three out of 12 players said Oklahoma State was the toughest place to play — hardly a resounding winner to make any inferences from.
The only category that received a convincing majority was "strongest player," going to Chris Owens of Texas. He received nine out of 12 votes.
Oh, something else. The coach that "won" the category of "opposing coach you'd most like to play for," was Missouri coach Quin Snyder with, of course, 25 percent of the vote.
So what's up with the lack of respect for Williams and for Allen Fieldhouse and its fans?
First of all, as I said, 25 percent does not count for much. There was no clear-cut, least-likable coach or hardest place to play. But I'll defend my people anyway.
Maybe it's as Chenowith told me—these guys are just ticked that Kansas didn't recruit them. Add salt to that wound in the way we use most of the Big 12 Conference as our giant pinata, and it's doubtful that many players in the Big 12 think of Kansas with great fondness. It's more likely that they see Kansas in their nightmares. No one likes the schoolyard bully.
Maybe those three players that voted for Williams (I'm thinking they were from Missouri, Kansas State and maybe Oklahoma) can't stand the way Williams is treated like a demigod in this town.
I'll actually echo that sentiment. It does make my stomach turn when I see fans at Kansas basketball games wear T-shirts that have "Roy's Prayer" inscribed on them. Few things make me laugh harder than religious parody, but praying to a basketball coach is like praying to Regis Philben. These are games, ladies and gentlemen. Take them lightly.
Why didn't the fieldhouse win toughest place to play? What are they saying about our fans?
Allen Fieldhouse is the toughest place to play. Compare the records. Kansas has lost three conference home games since the Big 12 was formed in 1996. The next closest school is a tie between Oklahoma State and Texas, which have lost seven games each.
I've never been to a game at Oklahoma State. Maybe it is louder. Maybe the rims are tighter. Maybe the showers don't have hot water, and the cheerleaders will bite you. But the numbers don't lie. When teams come to Allen Fieldhouse, they lose.
This Sports Illustrated survey is whacked out, and for once, the media isn't to blame.

Supporters of Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush react to news that Bush has been certified as the winner of the crucial Florida state vote in the U.S. presidential race.

Texas governor claims victory, Gore contests
The Associated Press
Florida's secretary of state certified George W. Bush the winner over Al Gore last night in the state's near-deadlocked presidential vote — but court contests left in doubt which man will be the ultimate victor and 43rd president of the United States. Bush said he had won the White House and asked Gore to reconsider his challenges.
"Now that the votes are counted, it is time for the votes to count." Gov. Bush said from the state capitol in Austin, Texas, after Secretary of State Katherine Harris, a campaign supporter, announced that he had captured Florida by an infinitesimal 537-vote margin.
Bush announced that running mate Dick Cheney will direct his transition operations in Washington, and that former Secretary of Transportation Andrew Card will be his White House chief of staff.
The Texas governor said the election was close but that he won and would begin "preparing to serve" as president.
Beth Newburger of the General Services Administration said "there is not an apparent winner and the outcome is unclear" so the agency cannot authorize transition funds and offices for Bush.
In his address, Bush delivered a sort of mini-State of the Union list of proposals and promised that he will "work to unite our great land." It was an effort by the Republican nominee to pre-empt Gore by
persuading Americans that the election is over with and that the outcome announced in Florida should be the last word.
Sen. Joe Lieberman, the Democratic vice presidential nominee, already had declared that it won't be, saying that he and Gore had no choice but to challenge the Florida certification.
But Bush, in a nationally televised address from Austin, said "I respectfully ask" that Gore reconsider further contesting the hairline Florida count.
If the certification of a 537-vote Bush margin stands, the Texas governor would win 271 electoral college votes — one more than necessary for victory — to 267 for Gore.
More information
Harris said Bush had 2,912,790 votes
and Gore had 2,912,253. That gave Bush the 537-vote lead out of 6 million cast, although Harris rejected partial returns from Palm Beach County. An unofficial AP tally including recounted Palm Beach County votes showed Bush ahead by 357.

KU professors' research focuses on the new president's support and politicians' motivation.
See page 3A
James A. Baker III, the former secretary of state speaking for Bush — who was making his own statement later last night — said that count already has been delivered, repeatedly.
What happened: Florida's secretary of state certified George W. Bush the winner of the state's presidential vote.
What's next Vice president Al Gore
What's next? Vice president Al Gore plans to challenge the certification.
What it means: Bush considers himself the winner of Florida's election and gave his acceptance speech.
He said Bush "won this election" under the rules set by law before Election Day, Nov. 7 — and under rules changed after the election. Baker denounced Gore's lawyers for what he called an extraordinary resort to the courts — although Bush has his own set of lawsuits, including the appeal the U.S. Supreme Court, which hears oral arguments on Friday.
Anticipating the certification, Gore was preparing a speech to be delivered today, explaining his case for the continuing challenge.
Gore, who got 337,183 more votes than Bush nationwide on Nov. 7, said he has an obligation to the people who supported him and Lieberman, more than for any Democratic ticket before them.
Sen. Lott called on Gore "to end his campaign and concede this election with the honor and dignity the American people expect."
The votes were delivered to Harris in line with a 5 p.m. EST deadline set by the state supreme court, which allowed hand recounts through yesterday, 12 days past the date she had said certification should be final.
Palm Beach County halted its count to file partial results, with the state in time for the deadline, and reported a net gain of 180 votes for Gore — with an unknown number to come post-deadline. Harris did not include those recounted votes in the certified totals.
Audit of University ends in settlement
Kansan staff write
By Jason Kraill
The University of Kansas owes $776,900 following an Internal Revenue Service audit that covered 1993 to 1997.
University officials reached a settlement with the IRS last week requiring the University to pay $568,200 in back taxes and $190,300 to 350 student and temporary employees who were excluded from a benefits program before 1998.
The employees will receive an average of $543 each. They were excluded from the program because University administrators misinterpreted the tax code, said Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations.
The IRS has conducted similar audits on about 25 universities nationwide. Each of those universities averaged a $3 million settlement, Bretz said.
The University of Kansas Athletic Corporation will pay its portion of the settlement
AUDIT SUMMARY What happened: The University will pay $776,900 in a settlement to the Internal Revenue Service for tax-code violations between 1993 and 1997.
What it means: The settlement includes $568,200 in back taxes, $190,300 in compensation to 350 student and temporary employees and $18,400 in penalties.
What's next: The Kansas University Endowment Association will pay the settlement by June 30.
out of its corporate fund, and the University's payments will come out of the University budget.
"Everybody knew there was going to be a settlement of some kind at the end," she said. "The IRS went to all of these universities with a similar palette of issues, so we started preparing from that day."
The University and the athletic corporation will also pay back $247,400 after the IRS ruled income taxes should have been paid on complimentary and discounted tickets for faculty and staff to athletic events in 1983 and 1984.
But covering the costs will not require cutbacks because the University had been setting aside cash in the budget since the audit began, Bretz said.
Bretz said the settlement, including interest, would be paid by June 30.
The athletic corporation also owes $150,300 in back taxes on advertising revenue for commercials on the Jayhawk Radio Network during the broadcast of athletic events, said Theresa Klinkenberg, director of administration.
You have to pay it back in the settlement.
About $18,000 in general penalties round out the IRS bill.
"The laws are pretty complicated, and how you get to the maximum amounts for those accounts is pretty complicated," Klinkenberg said. "You try to do your best and make sure you're accurate, but mistakes can happen."
The University failed to withhold $170,500 in taxes on student employee wages for Social Security in 1993 and will have to nav it back as part of the settlement.

Students who do not submit the journal must attend a hearing before the Lewis Hall Participation Review Board, made up of students, to explain why they had not been involved. Refusal to do so could result in the student being removed from the hall or not being allowed to reside in Lewis next year.
Valdez Russell, assistant complex director of Lewis and Templin halls, wrote a letter in early November to students who had not submitted participation journals telling them they had placed themselves "in jeopardy of remaining a Lewis Hall resident."
Randy Timm, assistant director of student housing, said it was a possible that students would be asked not to return to Lewis, but it wasn't the first step in the process.
Megan Buker, Leavenworth sophomore, said she didn't have a problem participating in the program until it was made into an ultimatum.
"I don't think you should be kicked out for something that wasn't on the contract originally." Buker said.
She also said that the participation agreement wasn't part of the original contract she had signed during the summer.
Timm said that the student housing handbook given to all students living on campus referred to the program several times.
"It was outlined and detailed in multiple spots," he said.
Timm also said that the program was instituted after Lewis reopened in August 1999 following renovation. The program began because student housing research found that students who were involved in community service performed better academically than students who were not involved in community service.
Jenni Gottschalk, resident assistant at Lewis and Leavenworth junior, said all residents received a letter during the summer about the program.
"It kind of frustrates me," she said. "I understand people are busy, but they did sign this contract. It's something they agreed to."
"They signed a contract saying they would do this," she said.
Even though some students said they didn't have enough time, Gottschalk said she thought everyone could make it to one event a month.
"Some people just don't have time for it," she said. "Promoting academics and community service is fine, but forcing us to do it is wrong."

College-bound students consider KU's diversity
By Leita Schultes
Kansan staff writer
If those high school seniors are part of the minority population, the University of Kansas is especially interested in bringing them to Lawrence.
The midpoint of the school year is fast approaching, and for many college seniors, it's a time to figure out where they will live and work after graduation. For many high school seniors, it's a time to choose colleges.
But whether the people and programs devoted to minority recruitment reap results is a question ultimately decided by the high school students visiting campus.
Kemeyl Rieves, a senior at Raytown High School in Kansas City, Mo., said that she was leaning toward attending the University of Missouri after a visit to Lawrence. She said the MU campus was in-state and more familiar to her.
MU's minority enrollment is 15.5 percent; which tops KU's 8.9 percent, and she said those numbers were worth considering.
Though she said she didn't feel uncomfortable walking on KU's campus, she said she wanted to go a school where she wouldn't have to search for people of her race.
More information
Check out Wednesday's Kansan for a more detailed look at diversity at the University.
Rileves guessed she saw five African Americans on her tour of the University.
"I think I would have been more apt to go there if there had been more," she said. Although the number of minority students is down this year from last fall's 9.1 percent, KU works to recruit and retain students of color with the Diversity Peer Education Team and a multicultural recruitment team.
The Multicultural Resource Center recently broadened its concept of diversity, and HAWKLink — a recruitment and retention program for minority students — has become a year long service.
Jose Interiano, a senior at Witchita East High School, said multicultural students should be more involved in such programs. And although he thinks the number of minority students should be bigger at KU, he said it wouldn't effect his college decision.
He said KU was a good school, and had what he was looking for.
Antwan Smith, a senior at Lincoln College Preparatory Academy in Kansas City, Mo., agreed.
He said KU's campus seemed typical and he would only expect to see more minority students at historically African-American colleges.
Although the students said minority enrollment was of only small importance, they did offer suggestions to improve KU's diversity.
Smith said he looked at minority numbers but they were "not a real priority."
Rieves said the University should offer more multicultural scholarships.
Rieves said it seemed that there were a lot of African-American athletes on scholarship at KU, but not many regular students.
Claudia Mercado, assistant director of multicultural recruitment for the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, said her office didn't offer a specific scholarship to students of color.
She said different departments across campus offered such scholarships, and that
/
"It seems to me that all of the people that recruit for KU are Caucasian, which is fine, but not everyone feels as though they can identify," she wrote.
Ashley Boone, a senior from Southeast High School in Wichita, wrote in an e-mail that the University needed more minority recruiters.
Mercado agreed a more diverse recruitment team could probably help increase minority enrollment.
her office was working to get more funding for race-specific scholarships.
"But all of our counselors are there to recruit all students," she said.
Still, Boone said she was positive she would be at the University next fall. Her reaction is exactly what recruiters want to hear: She said the campus was beautiful and the atmosphere was welcoming.
"If I was concerned about how many African-American students there were at a school, I would be scouting the historically Black universities," she said. "I don't believe that a person can only feel comfortable around those who have the same skin color. After all, it's about the way we treat each other as people, not as one race to another."

Worker's trust lawsuit takes tobacco to court
NEW YORK — A lawsuit filed with little fanfare three years ago has emerged as the latest flash point in the high-stakes legal battle between the tobacco industry and opponents who claim the industry conspired to conceal the dangers of smoking.
Attorneys will meet today to begin picking jurors for a two-month trial pitting a trust fund for sick asbestos workers against R.J. Reynolds, Brown & Williamson and other tobacco giants.
The plaintiff in this case is a trust
representing blue-collar workers and their heirs who were exposed to asbestos. It was formed in 1988 after the nation's largest asbestos products maker, Johns-Manville Corp., went bankrupt amid an avalanche of suits brought by plaintiffs suffering from lung cancer and other ailments linked to asbestos.
The trial is the first out of a backlog of about a dozen tobacco claims filed in federal court in Brooklyn, some file under civil provisions of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.
Programs lure physicians into classes with money
BOSTON — Harvard University and the University of California-San Francisco hope to lure doctors back into the classroom by paying them enough to offset the time they spend away from patients.
Each school has committed about $10 million and is applying to major foundations for additional funds. If successful, the moves could mark a radical change in medical education. school officials said.
The programs are designed to counteract the economic pressure felt by doctors who double as professors and have less time to spend with revenue-generating patients, The Boston Sunday Globe reported. Support could range from $20,000 stipends to a quarter of a full professor's salary of around $200,000.

Israel bombs Lebanon after roadside attack
KFAR CHOUBA, Lebanon — Israel, still engaged in violence with the Palestinians, faced security problems yesterday in Lebanon, where it rained missiles and machine gun fire in retaliation for a Hezbollah bombing that killed one soldier.
The assault was Israel's first cross-border retaliatory attack since pulling its troops from southern Lebanon in May, ending Israel's 18-year occupation of a border enclave there.
The Israeli army struck back with gunfire after the roadside bombing in Chebaa Farms near the Lebanese border. One civilian was slightly injured on the Lebanese side.
The violence at Chebaa Farms — an uninhabited strip of land in the western foothills of Mount Hermon where the borders of Lebanon, Syria and Israel meet — occurred against the backdrop of continued Israeli-Palestinian clashes.

NATO to clear Kosovo boundary of militants
BUJANOVAC, Yugoslavia — Yugoslav's army sent tanks and reinforcements near the NATO-patrolled boundary with Kosovo yesterday, one day before Yugoslavia's deadline for NATO to crack down on ethnic Albanian militants whose attacks have inflamed the region.
Kosovo, a province of Serbia, has been under international control since last year and many residents want full independence.
In the three-mile buffer zone between central Serbia and Kosovo, attacks by independence-minded militants last week left at least four Serb policemen dead.
Yugoslav authorities set this afternoon as the deadline for NATO to clear the militants from the boundary region.
They have threatened to launch counterattacks after the deadline passes.
Climate conference frustrates negotiators
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — Dejected negotiators headed home from the U.N. climate conference yesterday admitting to fundamental differences on controlling greenhouse gas emissions.
The divide is this: European and developing countries say the industrialized world must reduce the carbon dioxide from their factories and vehicles according to legally binding guidelines and targets.
A U.S.-led bloc, by contrast, says there are more efficient, cheaper ways to attain the same goal — letting a freewheeling international market replace administrative controls.
The purpose of the Hague conference was to work on meeting the goal set three years ago in Kyoto, Japan, when industrial countries agreed to cut greenhouse gases an average 5.2 percent below 1990 levels by 2012.
The deal broke down after U.S. insistence that countries be allowed to count the carbon dioxide absorbed by forests and farmlands toward their emissions-reduction targets.
Thirty-eight countries were given specific targets — 7 percent for the United States, 8 percent for Europe.

Holiday shoppers please retailers
NEW YORK — The first weekend of the holiday shopping season turned out to be a pleasant surprise for worried retailers: The consumers who crowded malls and used e-commerce sites spent more than expected.
The Associated Press
"Sales looked pretty decent," said Michael P. Niemira, vice president of the Bank of Tokyo Mitsubishi, yesterday as he estimated the weekend's sales would be about 5 to 6 percent higher than last year. "It's a good start to the season. But where it goes from here remains to be seen."
The solid sales followed months of sluggish business for many retailers, but the Thanksgiving weekend receipts were the result of hard work by merchants. Faced with an overall drop in consumer spending, retailers began discounting earlier than usual and focused more on what they expected would be the hot items.
Sears and Roebuck and Co., for example, is holding its "Best Prices of the Season" campaign in early December. instead of after the holidays.
A combination of stock market volatility, high interest rates and rising fuel prices have made consumers cut back on things they don't really need. Analysts say the unresolved presidential election also has contributed to shoppers' uncertainty.
Retailers are nervous about consumers like David Penner, a 58-year-old teacher from Andover. Mass., who plans to cut his holiday budget because he is spending $100,000 in home
renovations.
Retailers also want Eleanor Jaick, 55, of Florham Park, N.J., who was just browsing Saturday at New Jersey's Short Hills Mall, to get excited about this year's chunky sweaters and leather coats.
However, Jaick lamented, "There's nothing out there to buy in fashion."
Online business was strong during the weekend. Yahoo! Shopping saw twice as many transactions on Friday as a year ago, while Kmart's newly launched Bluelight.com got an unexpected surprise with a 50 percent to 60 percent gain for the weekend, compared to last weekend.
The Friday after Thanksgiving, while seen as a barometer of consumers' willingness to spend for the holiday, isn't necessarily a good indicator of how retailers will perform for the entire season.
In the past few years, that Friday has accounted for less than 10 percent of holiday sales, according to the International Council of Shopping Centers. The week after Christmas is becoming more important.
"I expect a pattern to continue similar to the last couple of years," said Terry Lundgren, president of Federated Department Stores Inc., foreseeing a lull for the next couple of weeks and then another jump closer to Christmas.
Internet retailers see the next week or so as critical. Although online traffic jumped 27 percent on Friday compared to the rest of the week, the momentum needs to continue.

President's 'honeymoon' of approval could dwindle
By Megahn Snyder Special to the Kansan
Americans who vote for the losing candidate tend to raise their approval of the winning candidate for a couple of months after the election, but the next president's "honeymoon period" may be shorter than usual, according to research by Mark Joslyn, professor of political science.
During the period, the winner has a high approval rating because he has not done anything to upset the public, and people who vote for the losing candidate tend to shift their approval to the winning candidate, according to Joslyn's survey.
Joslyn believes voters for the losing candidate change their minds because there is a consensus among Americans that the system is fair, so accepting the candidate as the winner makes him look more favorable than before.
However, because Gore has a good chance of winning the popular vote but losing the electoral college, Joslyn said the American public could change its mind about the fairness of the system.
Gore supporters might see the system as less fair, and therefore, won't be as ant to embrace Bush.
He said another reason for increased approval for the winning candidate from the voters of the losing candidate was the change in politics after the election.
Voters play up their candidate's strengths while accentuating the opponent's weaknesses. When one is elected, they start to look at the in a more realistic light.
Americans gradually begin to look at the president-elect not as the person running against their candidate, but as the new president.
This change leads to a rise in approval for the new president.
Joslyn said he anticipated the surveys given after the election would be consistent with pre-election surveys until a resolution was reached because Americans still saw this as a partisan issue with each candidate attacking the other's weaknesses.
Emily Witt, a Great Bend senior who voted for Gore, said that although she thought Bush most likely would be the next president, she hadn't moved toward the Republican side. She is still critical
"He has to understand he is looking like a jerk with all these protests even though he knows he has won already," she said.
of Bush's actions.
Joslyn said the rise in favorability based on sociology. When the American people realize more people voted for the opponent, they tend to change their minds to conform to the majority.
He said the honeymoon period usually only lasted for a couple of months. After that, the new president starts implementing policies, and the American people begin to criticize him.
Joslyn said the American people changed their perceptions of the candidate rather than their values. When the president makes decisions contrary to their values, they revert back to their original mindset.
Joslyn said the new president could suffer because of the short honeymoon.
"The honeymoon period is where the president sets his agenda," he said. "With a short honeymoon period, it makes his job more difficult."

Study determines politicians are motivated by principles
Rex Theroux France
rain schumaker, professor of political science, can't predict exactly what politicians will do, but he has a pretty good idea about how they'll make their decisions. They will follow their principles, he says.
"I wanted to find out the justice principles held by policy makers and whether these principles affected their decisions," Schumaker said.
He has been working on an eight-year research project to determine whether policy makers are motivated by their principles or by the pressure put on them by various community interests.
After interviewing 119 elected officials in 12 major cities, he found that policy makers based their decisions on their personal principles more than on pressures from constituents.
Schumaker said that this finding ran contrary to what many political scientists had been trained to think.
"In most cases, my own principles and my constituency's are similar."
Barbara Ballard
associate vice chancellor and 43rd
District State Representative
"We normally think it's the interests that people have, but it turned out that principles were the best predictor of what they'll do," he said.
After conducting interviews with each official, Schumaker determined that almost all of them ranked equal opportunity as a key principle. However, he said each politician interpreted equal opportunity in a different way.
Most officials also concluded that disadvantaged groups needed a "leg-up" to provide fair competition — another prominent principle.

He focused on 21 principles that the officials identified with. The officials' principles were strongly related to their self-defined ideologies and party identification, he said.
Schumaker found that in some cities, officials' principles were less about justice than promoting economic prosperity.
"I found, especially in Lawrence, that elected officials were not particularly concerned about principles of justice," he said. "They were more concerned with issues of economic development."
Barbara Ballard, associate vice chancellor and 43rd District State Representative, said that the interests of her constituency came first.
However, she said she didn't ignore her principles, either.
"In most cases, my own principles and my constituency's are similar," Ballard said.

University choirs prepare for 76th Holiday Vespers
By Meghan Bainum

Kansan staff writer
Holiday Vespers has been going off without a hitch for 75 years, and the KU Symphony Orchestra and other KU choirs hope this year's 76th performance will run just as smoothly.
The concert features several KU choirs and the KU Symphony Orchestra. The two performances are scheduled for Sunday, Dec. 10, at 2:30 p.m. and 7:30 p.m.
Brian Priestman, director of KU Svmhony Orchestra, said it took a lot of
work to coordinate the hundreds of KU students involved, but the musicians weren't daunted.
"Musicians don't get stressed out," he said. "We pace ourselves."
Priestman said the groups involved learned the music for the concert in about a week and then had four group rehearsals to make the show ready for an audience.
Simon Carrington, director of the KU chamber choir, said there were tense moments, but the concert had always gone off well.
"The first dress rehearsal on the last Friday before the performance is usually
fairly shaky, and I go even graver than I am already," he said. "But amazingly we are normally just ready in time for the two performances on the Sunday."
He said the concert had been broadcast coast to coast on National Public Radio and also appeared on public television stations nationally.
Priestman said quite a lot was riding on Vespers because it was a nationally known part of the University.
"It's more than a concert," Priestman said. "It's a Christmas rite of passage."

International enrollment study abroad going strong
More international students are choosing the University of Kansas and more KU-students are opting to study abroad, University officials said.
The Office of International Student Services reported that this fall 1,586 international students, constituting 6.1 percent of the student body, were enrolled at KU.
This number is up from the fall 1999, when there were 1,547 international students. However, international students still comprised 6.1 percent of the student body because there were fewer students enrolled last fall.
That increase follows a national trend, with more than half a million international students studying at U.S. universities, according to Open Doors 2000, an Institute of International Education report issued last week.
Daniel Catlla, Cochabamba, Bolivia, sophomore, said he chose to attend the University because his brother was a KU student, but he thought the
University's atmosphere attracted a lot of international students.
"Lawrence itself is not so big," he said. "It's maybe safer and not as scary as big cities. I think its nicer that you've got a pretty small community. You know a lot of people and are always running into somebody you know."
American students are also increasingly getting an international education experience through study abroad programs.
The Office of Study Abroad reported 988 U.S. students seeking degrees at the University participated in a study abroad program last school year, up from 763 in the 1998-1999 school year.
Katie Adamson, Ottawa senior, was one of those students. She spent February through June of this year in Australia.
She said that although she took only one class directly related to her advertising major, the experience was priceless.
"I always wanted to experience going somewhere else and I always wanted go to Australia," Adamson said. "I thought that now was the best time because I'm not really tied down."

Perspective Election 2000 sparks epic polling frenzy
I walked into my apartment Monday night after my evening film class and found my roommate watching the Monday Night Football game on TV. As I was getting a Pepsi out of the fridge, I asked him what the score was. He said 262-246.
I can't take it anymore.
The 48 hours surrounding Election Day and the aftermath the day after that left everyone emotionally drained. The political harping, twisting of facts and pseudo-patriotic garbage that have appeared in the media in the days since have given me a migraine the size of Bill O'Reilly's ego.
There's so much that's idiotic and aggravating, I could rant and groan for weeks.
The controversy, as we all know, centers on a recount of the ballots in four Florida counties. The pumps and spinnelsters cram the TV talk shows and begin their half-lays with their bogus nonpartisan compliments of both George W. Bush and Al Gore.
They're both patriots, they say while they put their right hand on their hearts as the Star-Spangled Banner plays in the background.
Gore thinks that we live in a monarchy where he is the rightful heir to the presidency because of the political lineage of his father and grandfather.
Pass out the shovels.

Bush sauntered into the Texas limelight when he bought the Texas Rangers baseball team, which at the time owned the rights to hall-of-fame pitcher Nolan Ryan, arguably the Lone Star state's favorite baseball player ever (and rightfully so). George W.'s father's is the ex-president who was the director of the CIA when his son got the DUI in Maine in 1976, an angle that the media chose to ignore. His father's friends helped get him elected as governor of Texas, where he has served for five years. That's one year less than a term in the United States Senate. The man could've worked for Jim Henson.
Ryan Dolan guest columnist opiner@kansan.com
The press has focused most of the hubbub in Florida on the butterfly ballot of West Palm Beach County. As opposed to some of that county's voters, most everyone had seen the ballot online or in print or had heard a description of it beforehand. Although Pat Buchanan's name does appear second on the ballot between Bush's and Gore's, the public seems split on the ballot's fairness, according to a Washington Post-ABC News poll conducted Nov. 12. Thirty-nine percent said it was a "fair" ballot. Thirty-six percent said it was unfair. And 23 percent didn't see it yet.
Isn't there an injunction that bans all polling for the rest of the year? First, the majority of the polls statistically predicted in the days preceding the election that George W. was going to win. Second, they inaccurately stated that Gore was way ahead in the state of Florida the day of the election. I guess the Post and ABC thought that five days was the proper cooling-off period before resuming their polling addiction.
The Washington Post-ABC News Poll was based on 762 "randomly selected adults." I haven't taken statistics, but TNS Intersearch, which conducted the poll, must have some awesome engineers and software programs that can produce an accurate representation of 205 million adults from 762 people (with a 4 percent margin of error — not that anyone knows what that means).
The best factoid in the poll was that 56 percent of the respondents were "worried" that "people might lose faith in this country's political system."
All pollsters, as well as the producers, editors and reporters who choose to use polling data for the next two months, should be arrested and thrown into the federal prison system for 30 years like the other nonviolent drug offenders.
Is that 56 percent of the 100 million people that voted? Or is that 56 percent of the 100 million that were too apathetic to vote?
TROUBLE IS, WHICHEVER ONE HAS THE CLASS TO END THIS WITH A GRACEFUL CONCESSION IS PROBABLY THE GUY WHO DESERVES IT!

Give Student Senate your $428,000 worth
The holiday season is almost upon us, it is a time for being with family and friends and to give to those less fortunate.
Althoughhe motive may not be the same, Student Senate at the University of Kansas also is in a giving mood. Its reserve account has accumulated nearly $428,000 during the past several years. Now that's a pretty hefty sum of student fees that has filtered through
the financial system to find itself in an account that gains interest, not for the students, but for the State of Kansas. Student Senate, behind the initiative of Ben Walker, student body president, has decided to set a goal of spending much of the reserve account before the school year is completed in May.
How would you spend $428,000?

Before we explore that question, let's look at exactly how money accumulates in the reserve
This money comes from an account specially dedicated to special funding requests. This account differs from the account that funds student organizations that go through annual funding procedures. It serves those organizations that are newly developing or existing organization that have special projects that need funding. At the end of each year, the money that is given to an organization but isn't spent goes into the reserve account. In time, the reserve account grows, some years more quickly than others, depending on how much student organizations spend. But $428,000 is excessive, and now is the time to give back to the students their investment in activities at the University.
account. Every time students enroll, they pay as a part of campus fees, money to support organizations on campus. Each year, Student Senate and the Finance Committee distribute money to student organizations and groups to benefit their activities if they request it.
Now back to the query: A small group of people representing the entire campus have a lot of money, so what do you spend it on? My first thoughts were that we could have one heck of a party with that kind of money. We could throw it in the football stadium, admission would be free, live music would be provided and just think about all the — quick, someone pinch me! No point in fantasizing about something that could never happen on a dry campus. However, the most sound concept behind spending the reserve account may not be that far off from that fantasy. In a utilitarian way, Student Senate needs to do something that benefits the largest number of students. So it seems that what needs to be developed is an investment in students' needs, not just a wanton expenditure for a party or a water slide at Potter Lake.
This is where the Reserve Account Task Force — a group of Student Senators, including myself, who Walker appointed — comes into play. The task force will make the "best" proposal to Student Senate about how to spend the reserve account. Earlier in the year, a very narrow list with suggestions of possible ways to spend the money was made. Everything from a water slide to a student-run youth hostel was put on the list. Students expressed a significant number of tangible ideas, but those that do not follow the philosophy of making the largest number of students happy should not be considered.
Think about it for a moment: Are you going to be happy that several hundred thousand dollars are going to be spent on campus beautification? Isn't that the University's job? Would you be happy with a $5 refund at the end of the semester or a student-run book exchange? Regardless of what happens, let's hope a worthwhile investment is made with what is essentially your dollar.
I encourage you to let the Reserve Account Task Force know what you think is a wise investment of the reserve account money. Please contact me at csnyder@eagle.cc.ukans.edu if you have a suggestion. Your opinion matters.

Editorial
Drug war disaster demands cease-fire
Kansas, other states should follow California's lead in focusing on rehabilitation.
Named Proposition 36, it is perhaps the most significant drug reform program in the United States to date. It puts nonviolent offenders in treatment programs rather than jail.
On Nov. 7, while the rest of America deadlocked in the presidential race, California voters passed an overhaul of the state's drug laws by a decisive 61 percent to 39 percent margin.
This idea is likely to be controversial, especially in conservative Kansas, but if effective, the proposition should become the model for other drug-reform programs across the country.
Proposition 36 allocates $120 million a year for five years to set up drug treatment programs, counseling and job training for offenders. Experts estimate that this initiative will divert 36,000 drug users into treatment and save taxpayers $200 million annually.
Although saving taxpayers money is an advantage, better still is the chance to rehabilitate offenders. Modern incarceration offers little hope of rehabilitation. A staggering number of repeat drug offenders pack this country's jails. Many of these are drug offenders who possessed drugs — people who are only a menace to themselves, not society.
Proposition 36 will rehabilitate instead of incarcerate these nonviolent offenders who, without their addiction, could and should become well-functioning members of society.
If Proposition 36 is effective, Kansas and the rest of the country should follow suit. The so-called "war on drugs" has spawned immense casualties, caused both by the drugs and the war itself. Rehabilitation programs for nonviolent offenders could help bring some type of closure to this long, costly, absurd drug war.

New president wants North American union
Mexico's Fox says U.S. should share the blame for drug corruption
The Associated Press
SAN CRISTOBAL, Mexico — Only days before his historic inauguration as president, Vicente Fox said America should deal with its drug habit and pledged to join the United States and Canada in what he called "NAFTA-plus."
In an interview with The Associated Press before he takes office on Friday, Fox said the United States was too quick to write off Mexico as a corrupt
haven for drug smugglers — and too reluctant to look in the mirror.
"The United States year after year blames us. Why?" Fox asked. "Who lets the drugs into the United States? Who is doing gigantic business in the United States, then sends down millions of dollars that corrupt Mexican police officers and government officials"
Fox said the two countries needed to "sit down and work this out together."
Fox has promised strong measures against drug corruption, but his comments indicate he will continue — or increase — Mexico's long-standing complaint that the supply of drugs would not exist without demand in the United
States.
He also said despite a tepid reaction from both George W. Bush and Al Gore, he was confident he would persuade his northern neighbors to expand the North American Free Trade Agreement and eventually open their borders entirely to Mexican goods — and maybe even workers — along the lines of the European Union.
"I am proposing a 'NAFTAplus,'" he said. "I'm proposing that 20,30 years down the road we form a North American common market in which we become partners, the United States, Canada and Mexico."
Fox's election on July 2 was a historic change for Mexico, ending 71
years of rule by a single party. On Friday, the country enters a new era as Fox takes office — and takes on dire problems including crippling poverty, widespread corruption and rampant crime.
Fox said he was aware of the giant expectations Mexicans have for him but said he wasn't worried about them.
a farmer and former Coca-Cola executive, Fox pledged to treat the country as a CEO would a money-losing company and to build "a government that costs less and does more."
"I would never throw cold water on that enthusiasm, on that hope," he said. "I dare say that this is Mexico's revolution of hope."
Yemenis plan to charge USS Cole bomb suspects
The Associated Press
ADEN, Yemen — Yemeni investigators were ready to charge at least two people in the attack on the USS Cole, a source said yesterday, six weeks after an explosion torre through the warship as it sat in Aden's harbor.
Charges were expected to be filed as soon as this week against the two suspects, the source said. They could be sentenced to death if convicted.
Seventeen U.S. sailors were killed and 39 more injured on Oct. 12, when two suicide bombers steered a small boat laden with explosives alongside the Cole and detonated it while the destroyer was refuelling. U.S. and Yemeni officials have said that the attack appeared to be a carefully planned, well-financed operation, and that the bomb materials were expertly prepared.
The Yemeni source close to the investigation would not identify the two men he described as main sus-
peets about to be charged. But last week, other sources said authorities had detained six Yemen men they believed were key accomplices — including one who allegedly was in charge of the operation in Yemen.
American officials have said they believed the operation was carried out by a network of small cells of two or three people, probably from one or more anti-American Islamic organizations, including Yemen's Islamic Jihad, Egypt's al-Gamaa al-Islamiya and Saudi dissident Osama bin Laden's followers.
In the weeks after the attack, Yemeni investigators rounded up scores of people for questioning, from known Islamic fundamentalists to people who lived any of the Aden buildings the bombers used as staging grounds. Yemeni authorities also have detained lower- and mid-level Yemeni security officials — an embarrassing acknowledgment that some within their government sympathize with anti-American groups.

Busy airports in some parts of the country yesterday made the trip home that much longer for Thanksgiving travelers.
With the Air Transport Association predicting a record 2.24 million passengers, airport officials were bracing for the worst.
"They're all coming back at the same time," said Nancy Castles, representative for Los Angeles International Airport.
She said 205,000 passengers were expected yesterday, up from the estimated 195,000 to 200,000 on the day a year ago.
"It's because the economy is good and people are traveling more," Castles said.
San Francisco International Airport also was expecting a deluge of passengers. In the morning, fog forced cancellation of 20 flights and delayed others up to 2 1/2 hours.
It was easy sailing for many travelers at O'Hare International Airport, despite the threat of cancellations because of labor strife at

United Airlines.
"It's been smooth so far," said Amy Wang before she boarded a flight from Chicago to San Diego.
United Airlines representative Andy Plews said there had been 31 cancellations — 24 of them related to maintenance — out of 2,300 flights system-wide.
No major delays were reported at airports in Miami, Atlanta and Seattle. And travelers were pleasantly surprised by the lack of long lines at Boston's Logan.
"It's not nearly as bad as it used to be," said Linda Murray, a ticket salesperson with United Airlines. "People seem to have learned to leave a day earlier or a day later. So far, so good."

Win proves 'Hawks rule fieldhouse
It wasn't pretty. It wasn't par ticularly exciting.
But it was historic.
With a ho-hum 99-56 thumping of Division II Washburn on Saturday night, the Jayhawks delivered an Allen Fieldhouse milestone — victory No. 500. In just more than 45 years, 500 wins — not too shabby.
Since its dedication on March 1, 1955, the fieldhouse has grown into an icon of hardwood domination. Just check out these quick Allen Fieldhouse stats:
Kansas 'all-time record.
500-98 (836).
Record under Roy Will 10.15 (00)
- Undefeated seasons at home: 12.
Between 1994 and December 1998: 62 consecutive wins.
"Beware of the Phog" is an understatement. This "phog" has been like a cloud of sarin gas for visiting teams.
Of course, no fieldhouse mystic was needed against the woefully overmatched Ichabods this weekend. No. 500 was more a tribute to Roy Williams' charitable nature toward in state schools than it was to good basketball.
In fact, this one was pretty darn ugly, or as Williams said,
"really an unusual game."
"Unusual" is an apt characterization for a game in which Kansas hit 57 percent of its field goals but only 18 of 35 free throws.
“Pretty darn ugly” describes any game in which the referees toot their horns to the tune of 47 personal fouls.
Despite the aesthetic deficiencies of this game, it provided more evidence why this team is a legitimate threat to make this its 13th season with a perfect home record.
Reason No. 1 — Kirk Hinrich is stepping up both as a leader and a scorer. After a private chat with Williams about smart decision-making, Hinrich had a near flawless game with six assists to only one turnover. He also knocked down seven of eight shots (five of six from three) and led the team with 22 points.
But Williams will tell you that in the end they all count the same — "They're all great wins as far as I'm concerned."
Reason No. 2 — Eric Chenowith is playing with confidence and aggression — two attributes he sorely lacked last year. Chenowith, it seems, is on a mission to make his critics eat all those disparaging words they wrote last year (mmm... tastes like chicken). After Saturday's 17-rebound performance, Chenowith is averaging 10.2 boards a game so far. Anything else he does — so far he's averaging 13.6 points — is gravy (mmm... chicken and gravy).
Praeter is a Lawrence graduate student in Journalism.
Reason No. 3 — Points, points and more points. This team can score. So far the 'Hawks are averaging 94.6 points a game, and the scoring is coming from all around the floor. Five players are averaging double-digits, and the team is hitting nearly 58 percent of its field goals.
The team will need that kind of production because teams a lot tougher than Washburn will attempt to rise above the phog in the near future. The toughest test will be the Senior Day game against rival Missouri. No doubt the atmosphere for that game will be much more electric than Saturday's game.

- falls prey to Kansas as the Jayhawks (5-0) continue their march toward another undefeated November.
The Jayhawks have done it by beating up the teams in one of their weakest nonconference schedules in recent memory. On Saturday night, Kansas finished Thanksgiving break by feasting on Washburn 99-56. Tonight, they could do much of the same to Middle Tennessee State. The recipe for success has been easy — physically dominate whichever foe steps in Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansas followed this recipe against the ichabods, using its superior height in 7-foot-1 senior center Eric Chenowith and athletic ability from senior forward Kenny Gregory
and sopnomore guard Kirk Hinrich to run away with a blowout victory. "Our goal coming into the game was to get the ball inside and get to the free-throw line," said Kansas
"I nailed the first couple, and they kept on going," Hinrich said. "I wanted to finish perfect, but when I missed the last three-pointer, all I could do was laugh."
Trailing Hinrich in the scoring category on Saturday was Chenowith, who amassed 19 points and 17 rebounds, and Gregory, who continued his consistent November pace by racking up 18 points.
Chenwah said he hoped his performance sent Williams a message.
coach Roy Williams. "We had such a size advantage. If you look at Kirk's shooting, Eric's rebounding, and Kenny's defense, then there were some pretty good plays."
"I wanted to finish perfect, but when I missed the last three-pointer, all I could do was laugh."
Indeed, the Jayhawks rode the red-hot shot of Hinrich to Saturday's victory. The sophomore point guard started off the game by hitting his first five three-point shots en route to a career high 22 points.
Kirk Hinrich sophomore guard
"In practice yesterday, I ripped down a rebound from Bryant (Nash) and kind of gave him this mean look," Chenowith said. "C o a c h Williams said I can only do that if I get 20 rebounds. So
that's what I tried to do."
Things won't get much tougher for Chenowith and the Jayhawks tonight. Chenowith towered over the Ichabods on Saturday — Washburn's tallest player was 6-8—and he will do the same against the Blue Raiders, who have only one player taller than 6-8.

Kansas Basketball Notes
The Jayhawks will be without freshman point guard Mario Kinsey for the next few games. Recent surgery, which alleviated pain caused by too much stress on his left leg, will sideline Kinsey for ten more days.
Kinsey had a similar surgery before the season on his right leg but didn't miss any playing time. A native of Waco, Texas, Kinsey is averaging 2 points and 2.3 assists per game for the Javahawks.
Go ahead and scratch out "walk-
on" from the titles of junior forward Chris Zerbe and junior guard Brett Ballard. Both Zerbe and Ballard were given scholarships by Williams at the beginning of Thanksgiving break, and Ballard showed his gratitude by nailing two three-pointers against the Ichabods.
One of the few Jayhawks who struggled against Washburn was sophomore forward Nick Collison.
Collison didn't hit a shot from the floor on Saturday night and fouled out after collecting three fouls in one minute in the second half. Williams told the gathering of media after the game that it was just one of those days for Collison.
Maybe the moon, it wasn't right. Williams said. It was just a bad day. Believe it or not, you guys write bad articles sometimes.

'Hawks take third in holiday tournament

Two scoring bursts helped the Kansas women's basketball team win the consolation game of the Lady Blazer Classic against the University of Louisiana-Monroe 73-60 vesterdav.
The Jayhawks started the game with a 13-2 run, and it looked as though they would demolish the Lady Indians. The spark plug for the 'Hawks was senior forward Brooke Reves, who had seven points in the first four minutes.
But Kansas saw its lead steadily dwindle toward the end of the first half as the Lady Indians eventually tied the game. The 'Hawks took back the lead after a steal and layup by senior forward Jaclyr Johnson with just seconds remaining on the clock.
Coach Marian Washington said she wasn't surprised the Lady Indians had such a run, since opposing teams came out fighting because of Kansas' reputation.
"It's a real indication of the respect people have for our program." Washington said.
The key to the second half was Johnson. First, she drew the fourth foul on Louisiana-Monroe forward Terri Butler, who was the driving force behind the Lady Indians' offense. Butler had 15 points to lead Louisiana-Monroe.
Kansas responded by coming out of the blocks strong in the second half, stretching its three-point lead to nine with three quick baskets.
"All our post players are playing really well right
Jennifer Jackson
senior guard
After Butler picked up her fourth foul, Johnson took advantage. She scored at will in the final 20 minutes, as Butler played passive defense because of foul trouble.
Senior guard Jennifer Jackson said the 'Hawks knew their inside
In addition, Johnson tied a careerhigh with 25 points, with 16 coming in the second half. Johnson also brought down 10 rebounds for her second double-double of the season.
play would be the key to the game, and they were ready for the challenge.
"Jaclyn and Brooke are extremely seasoned post players," Jackson said. "All our post players are playing really well right now."
While Johnson dominated in the paint, sophomore guard Selena Scott made things happen with her quickness and passing.
"I'm just delighted with Selena. She's playing as well as anybody," Washington said. "We've just got to use her in the most effective way possible."
It appears Washington's use of Scott was effective, because she scored a career-high 14 points.
Kansas notes
Kansas wound up in the conso
lation game after losing to the University of Alabama-Birmingham 67-62 on Saturday. The 'Hawks went on an 18-1 run late in the second half but couldn't get the win to advance to the championship game of the Lady Blazer classic.
The Jayhawks got 13 points each from juniors Fernald Bosi and KC Hilgenkamp against Alabama-Birmingham.
The 'Hawks won the first game of their three-game road trip against Arkansas State 62-51 last Tuesday in Jonesboro, Ark. Arkansas State had won the two previous games, but Kansas allowed only 25 points from the Lady Indians in the second half.

Myatt breaks kill record, leads team to victory
Smack, smack, smack went the volleyballs as Kansas senior outside hitter Amy Myatt broke the record for the most kills in a season in the Jayhawks 3-0 rout of the Oklahoma Hawkers, 15-13, 15-8, 15-12, Saturday night in Norman, Okla.
Win against Sooners boosts volleyball team to a winning record
By Sarah Warren sports@tanson.com Kansan sportwriter
Myatt led the Jayhawks with 14 kills, bringing her single-season total to 457, which surpassed Judy Desch's 1987 mark of 450 kills in a season. Going into the
Oklahoma game, Myatt needed only seven kills to tie the record, so when she scored her eighth of the night the Kansas bench exploded. *
"The entire team started screaming when I scored the first point of the second game," Myatt said. "I think that everyone at Oklahoma must have thought we were crazy, because we were just going nuts and it was only the first point. At first I didn't know why they were so excited but then I looked at the scoreboard and figured it out pretty quickly."
Myatt's record led the way for another total team celebration after the match, because the Hawks clinched their fifteenth win of the season to finish with a winning 15-14 record.
"Nobody wanted to finish
the season under 500. It was a good win."
Nancy Bell
senior outside hitter
"Nobody wanted to finish the season under .500," said Nancy Bell, senior outside hitter. "It was a good win."
The 7-14 Sooners tried their best to keep the Jayhawks from recording a winning record. Four Sooners registered double digits for kills, with Lindsay Hoyt and Cathy Cook leading the way by scoring 13 each.
"They played really well this time around," Bell said. "It was
their senior night, so I think that really helped them. They had a lot of emotion going in."
But the Jayhawk seniors proved too forceful for Oklahoma to reckon with. Bell followed Myatt in kills, scoring 10 of her own. Senior middle blocker Danielle Geronymy brought down 13 kills and scored four of Kansas' seven service aces. Senior outside hitter Sara Kidd led the Jayhawks in digs with 10.
"We out-dug them and I think we executed at times when we needed to," Bell said. "They made mistakes when they couldn't."
Younger Jayhawks also proved to execute well. Freshman middle blocker Jordan Garrison added nine kills and junior setter Molly LaMere added 41 set-assists, four kills and eight digs.

(15-13, 15-18, 15-12)
"I owe her a lot," Myatt said of LaMere. "She got me the record by setting to me."
Record and winning season aside, the Jayhawks were just happy to wrap up the season with a victory.
"Ending on a good note is really important moving into next season." Bell said. "That win can set the tone for the next year."
For the seniors, going out with a win was obviously invaluable too. "You want to remember your last game fondly," Myatt said. "It was a really big deal to have a winning season and to win the final game."

Kansas welcomes three new recruits
The Kansas women's swimming and diving team signed three recruits to national letters of intent during early signing period.
M
SWIMMING
The Jayhawks added Miranda Isaac of Hutchinson, Libby Erickson of Overland Park and Alyson Colver of Holyoke, Colo., to swim for Kansas in the 2001-02 season.
"These three girls are great team players who have a lot of the qualities we are looking for in student-athletes," Kansas coach Cathy Burgess said. "All three are excellent students and have a lot of potential. Not only that, but one of our biggest strengths is our team chemistry and attitude and atmosphere that we bring to pool. These three will fit right in and immediately add to that."
At Hutchinson High School, Isaac took second place in the 100-yard breaststroke and fourth place in the 200 individual medley at last season's Kansas state high school championships.
SCORPIO
"Miranda has a lot of speed in the breaststroke, an area that she will be able to step right in and contribute to this team next year." Burges said.
Erickson earned a third-place finish in last year's Kansas state championships.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Clover adds experience as well. She finished in the top five in the Colorado state high school championships in middle distance events for each of the last two seasons.
"Libby is an extremely versatile swimmer and is still realizing her potential in various events." Burgess said.
"Alyson has a lot of untapped potential," Burgess said. "She's a hard worker, is still learning new events and will immediately be one of our go-to girls in the middle distance events."
With her new recruits, Burgess said she was excited to kick off the recruit
"This is a great start for our recruiting class for 2001 as we build a stronger team for next season," she said.
ing season with such good luck.
The Kansas track and field team signed four high school seniors to the team for the 2001-02 season
TRACK AND FIELD
Jones, a senior from Iowa City High School, was the runner-up at the 2000 Iowa state cross country championships and is expected to have an immediate influence on the cross country team as well as distance running for the track team.
Chris Jones, a distance runner from Coralville, Iowa; Brooklyn Hann, a long/triple jumper from Sacramento, Calif.; Cheryl Bergman, a spinner from Baileyville; and Kim Clark, a sprinter from Elkhorn, Neb., have all signed national letters of intent to attend the University in the fall.
"Chris will add great depth to our cross country team next season," Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said. "He is a great student and person to be around, and we are lucky to get him at KU."
Hann has a personal best jump of 39 feet and is ranked fourth in the nation among seniors in the triple jump. She will compete for one of Kansas' top airlift spots for 2002.
"Brooklyn will make an immediate impact on our women's team," Redwine said. "She will be able to run sprints for the team as well."
Bergman, a true spinner, was the 2000 1A state champion in the 200 meters and finished second in the 400 meters and third in the 100 meters.
"Cheryl defines what a student-athlete should be to a program and to a school," Redwine said. "We are looking forward to her being a big part of this team."
Clark will be called upon to add depth to the long distance sprint team. She
clocked a time of 56:70 in the 400 meters during the 2000 season and will also compete in the 800 meters
"Kim will add depth to our team," Redwine said. "She is also a great student-athlete and could be a part of some of our relays in the future."

Axtell returns to lineup
Senior guard says ankle healing lateral movement still difficult
By Chris Wristen
sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
ACT III of the Luke Axtell saga has been full of drama, but the Texas gunlinger was still going in his highly anticipated return Saturday night in No. 3 Kansas' 99-56 victory against Washburn.
After he transferred to Kansas from Big 12 Conference foe Texas in 1998, Axtell, a senior guard, played in the first 20 games of last season before missing the final 14 with an undisclosed medical condition.
This year, just hours before the team left for the season opening Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic in New York that was supposed to mark Axell's regular-season return, the plot thickened. He sprained his left ankle in practice when he landed on sophomore forward Drew Gooden's ankle.
Astell: took his first shot 13 seconds after entering the game.
Axtell scored five points in his return, but it wasn't without drama, as he slammed his leg into the scorer's table after taking a first-half three-pointer. With three minutes left in the game he was running a break and tweaked the ankle on a Washburn player's foot.
"It's all right. It got a little tender there at the end, but overall it went really well," Axtell said. "I can't push off of it like I want to and I'm obviously not as quick as I
want to be right now, but I'm just going to deal with it." Axtell made his return just five minutes into Saturday's game and he returned the same way he went out — shooting.
It took him only 13 seconds to fire a shot, a 15-footer from the left baseline that rattled in for two points. Axtell said it was important for him to take a shot right away but shooting wasn't coming easy because of his ankle.
"It's hard for me to shoot off the move," he said. "If I'm standing still or I'm going straight toward the basket, then I'm fine, but laterally it's hard for me to shoot."
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he wouldn't want most of his players shooting the ball that quickly, but Axtell was talented enough to do it.
"I don't think it's a very smart move to shoot the basketball right when you first get in the game," Williams said. "But if you shoot it as well as Luke then I guess it's OK."
Four minutes later, senior forward Kenny Gregory stole a Washburn pass and found Axtell wide open on the left side for a three-pointer that Axtell nailed. Those were his last points of the game, because he missed two more shots.
Axtell hit two of five shots in the game for his five points, well below his almost 17 points-per-game average in Kansas' two exhibition games, but he said he was more concerned with getting back on the court than scoring points. He said playing Washburn was a nice way to return.
"That was good because I didn't feel like I was going to hurt the team that much if I messed up." Axtell said. "There's also a mental part of just getting back because I haven't been practicing for the last week and a half, so it's always good to get in that kind of mode."

'Hawks to combat Blue Raiders
When Middle Tennessee State visits Allen Fieldhouse at 7:05 tonight, Kansas coach Roy Williams and Middle Tennessee coach Randy Wiel might chat about memories past — well, in addition to coaching their teams.
Williams and Wiel both attended North Carolina, both served as assistant coaches for legendary Dean Smith and both were candidates for the Tar Heels' headcoaching job.
The two friends will reunite, and so will their teams, for the secondstraight season. Kansas downed the Blue Raiders 97-77 last year in Murfreesboro, Tenn., in a game Williams said he wouldn't soon forget.
This is a meeting Wiel said he was eagerly anticipating and was a series he hoped would continue.
("Wiel's) club gave us one heck-
va good game last year up at their
place," Williams said. "Randy's a
good coach and a good friend. We
go way back to about 1979."
"I would like to continue it," Wiel said. "It really helps us, and it's always good playing against Roy."
As much as Wiel is looking forward to his team's clash with
Kansas, he said he knew it would be a tough game. He credits that difficulty to the way Williams prepares his teams.
"Roy's teams are always well-coached," Wiel said. "They always seem to execute very well really early in the season. Even when they were playing in New York they were looking good."
Wiel said Kansas' big men and a resurgent senior forward Kenny Gregory would be the biggest challenges his team would face.
Despite the size advantage, Wiel's main concern is with Kansas' outside attack. In addition to sophomore guard Kirk Hinnrich's 22-point performance against Washburn on Saturday, Wiel said he was also concerned with junior guard Jeff Boschee's long-range accuracy.
"I don't think anyone in the country matches up with Kansas," Wiel said. "(Eric) Chenowith will give us some problems, and (Nick) Collison and (Drew) Gooden, especially Gooden, are very good and as athletic as anybody in the Big 12."
"I think that with Kansas being a year older and Bosche playing the second guard position, we really are going to have to focus on him because he shoots the ball so well," Wiel said.
With the odds stacked against his 1-1 team, Wiel is not waving the
white flag. He said his team would do its best to give Kansas a run for its money.
"I hope it'll be a good game, but we'll have to play to the best of our ability to upset Kansas at Kansas," Wiel said. "They don't lose there. Every time I turn on the radio they keep talking about their home-winning streak. But, on the other side, Kansas is the type of team that, when they're not playing good they're still not playing bad, and that's the danger of their team. That's the sign of a good team: They win games even when they're not playing real good."
Noting the Blue Raiders
Leading returning scorer Fernando Ortiz, senior forward, has seen reduced playing time while recovering from knee surgery. He is expected to play about 15 minutes.
Junior guard D'Marius Wilkes is off to career-high 15-point effort against Tennessee State in a 75-71 loss on Nov. 20.
■ Tonight's game is the seventh the Blue Raiders have played against a ranked team with Wiel as coach. They are 6-0 in those games, the most recent loss coming in a 78-77 thriller against then-No. 16 Tennessee last year.
— Edited by J. R. Mendoza
**Guards:** Kirk Hinrich had one of the most prolific three-point shooting nights in Kansas history on Saturday, hitting his first five attempts. Jeff Bosche is always a threat. This is in complete contrast to the Blue Raider guards, who are no threats at all. **Advantage:** Kansas

Forwards: Middle Tennessee State's lil' Trennigan, a native of Finland, got his first career start last week and performed admirably. Still, the Fin will be finished off early by Kansas' forwards, which once again feature Luke Axtell.

Coaches: Kansas coach Roy Williams and Middle Tennessee State's Randy Wiel are friends from all the way back to Williams' tenure at North Carolina. So it won't be personal when Williams and the Jayhawks win by 32 points. Advantage: Kansas
Center: Eric Chenowith appears to have shrugged off his early foul trouble and responded by being a rebounding monster. Once again, he'll have a height advantage over the Blue Raiders' Lee Nosez, who is a strong presence in the paint. Advantage Kansas
lastgame
The Blue Raiders had the home-court advantage and the emotion of playing an in-state rival, but the combination was not enough, as Middle Tennessee State fell to Tennessee State 91-75.
Intigibles: The Jayhawks tallied victory for 500 in Allen Fieldhouse history on Saturday night. A shellshocked Blue Raider team, who is used to playing the likes of South Alabama and Radford, easily should become No. 501. Advantage: Kansas

But now, even while enjoying one of her biggest successes, she isn't about to sugarcoat this phase in her life. At 54, she says, "I refuse the designation of 'middle age.' I'm old. I have no interest in living to be 108! I'm old! I'm an apprentice old lady."
Then she adds, "I'm looking at really OLD old ladies and I'm thinking. How do I do that really well?"
Daly is the daughter of the late actor James Daly, best known for the 1970s drama Medical Center. One of her brothers is Tim Daly, currently starring on CBS' revival of The Fugitive. Acting, she says, became her "stated ambition" when she was 8. She has been in the business for nearly 40 years.
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Tyne Daly plays tough, hardheaded women.
Tyne Daly shines in Judging Amy
But the iron resolve of her characters is likely to be contradicted by a flickering, defensive smile. Daly's women are defiant yet badgered by doubt. They are bluntly direct, yet skilled at indirection.
In short, nothing is simple in her characterizations. This is certainly the case with Daly's latest role, Maxine Gray, a social worker and the mother of the title character on CBS' hit drama Judging Amy (which airs Tuesdays at 9 p.m.)
Thanks in no small part to Daly, Judging Amy, in its sophomore season, has held onto the following it scored from week one.
"It was kind of thrilling to be embraced so quickly — and a little intimidating," says Daly.
"There are many stages for mothers and daughters," says Daly. "And I think what's interesting in the show is finding where these two grown-up women are still useful to each other."
The key to Daly is her no baskets dedication.
For instance, on Judging Amy she continues her long-standing policy of — to quote co-star Brenneman — keeping "vainty on the back burner."
The key to Daly is her no-nonsense authenticity.
"I've been shooing away makeup-and-hair people most of my career," Daly said.
The complex relationship between Maxine and Amy is at the heart of the series.

Bowler awarded for perfect game

BEST BOWLER
2013
A second-year member of the Kansas bowling team made history at the Jaybowl on Oct. 30 by bowling the first perfect game in 30 years at the site.
But it wasn't his first.
Buck Wash Harrison, Glenn Harrison, Frontenac junior, who has bowled competitively since he was a junior in high school, bowled the first perfect game of his life at the Kansas City Pro Bowl on Dec. 21, 1999.

"Bowling a perfect game is the greatest feeling you can have besides winning a national championship," he said.
because of his second 300 game, Harrison has been favoring the two lanes in which he bowled his perfect game. Although most of his goals remain team-oriented, he said he expected to have more perfect games in the future.
more perfect. "Once you have one perfect game, it eases you up for other ones," Harrison said.
Tom Partridge, Olathe senior and Kansas team captain, said he was not surprised Harrison was able to bowl a perfect game.
"I know he had one last year in Kansas City, but I didn't think a perfect game was possible at the Jaybowl," Partridge said. "Many people have come very close and missed that perfect game."
Partridge said several factors contributed to the difficult conditions of the Jaybowl. For example, the Jaybowl, unlike many other bowling alleys, oils the lanes by hand.
"At the Jaybowl, you have to work for everything." Partridge said.
Harrison transferred to Kansas after spending his freshman year at Pittsburg State, which does not have a bowling team. While at Pitt State, he decided he wanted to transfer to a school with a competitive bowling队。
"I visited three schools: Kansas, Southwest Missouri State and Wichita State," Harrison said. "And Kansas really welcomed me in."
Coach Michael Fine said he was happy for Harrison and his perfect game, and he had high expectations of Harrison as one of the team's leaders.
"Glenn has worked really hard this fall," Fine said. "There have been a lot of great bowlers, including three future pros, who never bowled a 300 in the Jaybowl league."

Campus drug violations rise
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas' rank in number of drug arrests on campus is climbing.
According to the Cleary Act National Security Report, the University's main campus was tied for fourth among Big 12 schools for drug abuse violations on campus with 36 in 1999. This is a jump from eighth place in 1998 with 17.
The University had more than twice the amount of drug arrests on campus compared with neighboring Kansas State University, which had 15 violations and ranked last among Big 12 schools.
Kansas also ascended from its fourth place spot to tie for second place in drug-related arrests in residence halls in 1999 with 19, more than doubling the 8 arrests in 1998. There were 4,845 students living in residence halls in 1999
— about 20 percent of the student body. Jane Tuttle, administrative assistant for Student Life, said after reviewing the reports that the differences in population and areas made it difficult to
"Its seems to be apples and oranges," Tuttle said. "It's hard to make comparisons."
compare the schools. Texas University, which ranked highest in the report with 66 campus violations, has a student body population of nearly 49,000, compared with Kansas, which has just more than 25,000.
Tuttle said she didn't see much difference in the type of students at Kansas compared with other Big 12 schools.
"Eighteen- to 23-year-old behavior is somewhat predictable." Tuttle said. "I don't think KU's student body is any different from K-State."
Amy Sanders, Overland Park sophomore and resident of Hashinger Hall in 1999, said she wasn't surprised that the numbers had doubled during her year in the residence halls.
"I know many people that violated those rules," Sanders said. "We were rule breakers."
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said that the resident assistants at each residence hall reported to the public safety office

when a drug violation was in progress.
"If there's a smell of marijuana on the floor and the floor officer makes contact with us, we may make contact right then, and if nobody answers, we'll come back," he said.
Mailen said an officer could enter and search the room if given consent by the student. He said officers normally couldn't obtain search warrants after
one visit, but if a history of incidents was established at that location, the officer could get the warrant.
Mailen said anything the officer saw in plain view could justify entering the room.
"If I see a plain-view bong or joint in the ashtray, it's a different story altogether." Mallen said.

Venus statue offends students' neighbors
I will do the rest.
Owners remove unusual yard art
Ward Byrum, Wichita senior; Bryan Caldwell, Gardner senior; and Chris Brooks, Lawrence senior, have a nude statue of Venus from Botticelli's painting "The Birth of Venus" they displayed in their front yard. Members of the neighborhood sent a letter requesting removal of the statue because they found it offensive. Photo illustration by Aaron Lindbergh/KANSAN
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
An October bike ride turned into an art-collecting trip for Wichita senior Ward Byrum, but he didn't realize the problems his found art would cause in his neighborhood.
On a bike ride to Topeka, Byrum and his friends passed a home with household furnishings sitting out, ready to be hauled to the trash. Byrum looked past the couches and tables to the one thing that really caught his eye — a four-foot-tall concrete statue.
Later that day, he and his friends picked up the statue, which is a copy of a nude Venus, the mythological goddess of love, from Sandro Botticelli's 15th-century painting, "The Birth of Venus." Byrum set up the statue in front of his home at 901 Christie Court.
Three weeks later, Byrum and his roommates received a letter from some neighbors, asking for the removal of the statue from their yard. The letter, unsigned and addressed to "the college residents," said the statue was offensive and inappropriate for the family neighborhood.
Byrum said he didn't understand why the statue would be considered offensive.
"I can see how it would be tacky, but I'm not sure about offensive," Byrum said.
Byrum and his roommates took the statue inside, not wanting to cause problems, but the way their neighbors handled their complaint left a sour taste in their mouths.
Byrum said having his neighbors come to his door would have been more respectful than an anonymous letter.
"I can see their point in not wanting it
in their neighborhood," he said. "What's offensive to us as college students is they didn't address us as people."
Charles Pachella, a resident at 904 Christie Court, said he had seen the statue while he was walking his dog but didn't know anything about the letter.
Pachella said yard art did not really bother him unless it was out of hand.
"This is not what you would call a congenial neighborhood as far as I'm concerned," he said. "I didn't take that good of a look at it, so I really don't have an opinion about it. It looked like a pillar of salt."
Gene Shaughnessy, Lawrence chief building inspector, said there were no specific city codes for yard art and if possible, it was better if neighborhoods worked out problems on their own.
"We always try to have people compromise and come to an agreement of what's acceptable," he said. "It should
be handled amongst the neighborhood groups rather than going into the legal system."
That leaves Byrum and his roommates with a four-foot-tall Venus adorning their living room. Byrum said he would keep the statue for now and that he didn't care whether it was inside or outside.
"We just thought it was funny," he said.

Flu shots available at Watkins
By Melissa Devia
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
With the end of Thanksgiving and the Christmas season around the corner, now is a good time to get a flu vaccination.
"During the holidays, people get into close physical quarters with multiple contributors to infectious properties," said Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Watkins has received 800 flu shots and will begin distributing the longawaited shots today at the health center, giving students a chance to avoid being one of approximately 108 million people who contract flu bug each year.
According the National Center for Health Statistics, a division of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) about 192 million days will be spent in bed by people who get the flu this year.
Dana Mcjunkin, Evergreen, Colo. senior, already has spent a couple of those days in bed. She had the flu before Thanksgiving break, and her brother contracted it when she went home.
Although Mcjunkin said a flu vaccination could have protected her from getting sick, she didn't get one. She said she contracted the flu almost every year. She said she thought this was in part because she lived in a sorority house and her chances of catching the flu had increased.
Rock said the flu season usually peaked around January and February, but according to the World Health Organization, the flu already has spread to Kansas. The organization found that the flu had been reported around the country as early as October — about three months earlier than usual.
Rock urged students to get the shot as soon as possible because it takes two weeks for the vaccination to reach full immunity and because the flu was one of the most fatal illnesses of the year.
According to the CDC, approximately 20,000 Americans die from the flu each year.
Rock said the health center ordered 3,000 shots this year — 500 more than last year — but received only about 800 because of a national shortage.
But Rock said it never was too late to get the shot and that the health center would serve anybody who wanted the shot.
"We encourage anyone who desires protection at this point to get a shot," he said.
Clinic times are from 2 to 4 p.m.
Tuesdays and Thursdays and from 4
to 6 p.m. Wednesdays at Watkins.
The shots, which usually are available at eight off-site locations on campus, are only available at the clinic because of the small supply.
However, Rock said the shot would be available for all students.
The vaccine costs five dollars for students with a KUID.

Gore commits to contesting election
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Al Gore's lawyers contested the certification of Florida's election in court yesterday, seeking an order to have him, not George W. Bush, declared winner of the state and therefore the presidency.
The Associated Press
They accused Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris and election commissioners of misconduct for disallowing votes that might have overcome Bush's 537-vote lead.
Gore, speaking publicly, urged the court to look at the challenges raised in his lawsuit and "do the right thing."
future generations study this episode, "They will learn that we were indeed a country of laws."
Gore's challenge to the results in Palm Beach, Nassau and Mami-Dade counties was assigned to Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls, known for his swift action, and he held a hearing yesterday afternoon.
In an address to the nation yesterday evening, Gore committed himself to contesting the election in court and predicted that when
Sauls ordered Gore's lawyers to provide the Bush team with its evidence and witness list within two days and gave Bush's lawyers two days to respond — meaning the case might not be heard until the week's end.
Exhibiting a folksy demeanor, Sauls told the lawyers he understood their difficulty trying to get the case resolved before the Dec. 12 deadline for selection of electors.
the judge drawled. "You're always in some crisis."
In another development, the Florida Supreme Court asked for legal briefs by 5 p.m. today on whether the justices should review the infamous "butterfly ballot" case in Palm Beach County.
"You're all trial lawyers, and trial lawyers live a dreadful existence."
Rather than dismissing the matter on its face, they asked for arguments on "all issues in this case including why this court should exercise its discretion" to hear the case.
The U.S. Supreme Court hears Bush's appeal against Florida hand
Secretary of State Harris, a Bush supporter, certified Florida's decisive 25 electoral votes for the Republican on Sunday. If that stands up, Bush will become the next president.

Police have no suspects in bomb-threat case
Someone called in a bomb threat to The Gap during the first official day of the holiday shopping season.
Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Pattrick said police did not know who made the call at 11:30 a.m. Friday. Employees of the store at 647 Massachusetts St. were given the option of leaving when the threat was called in, but only one employee left.
Patrick said police did not find a bomb. Police talked to the employees about trying to trace a call if someone called in the future with another threat. The incident still is under investiga-

High school student found dead in vehicle
TOPEKA — A high school student found dead inside a crashed vehicle Sunday in Topeka had been shot, police said.
Police are investigating the death of Ontario Prince Johnson, 16, as a homicide. No arrests have been made.
Johnson was a junior at Highland Park High School and previously attended Topeka High School, where he played on the basketball team.
More research needed for Kansas City rail line
An autopsy is scheduled. A police report indicated Johnson was killed between 2:30 and 7:23 a.m. Sunday. He was Topeka's 16th homicide victim this year. The city recorded 15 in 1999.
OLATHE — A proposed commuter rail line between Olathe and downtown Kansas City will not operate until at least late 2003.
Supporters had said the line would be open next year, but that expectation was unrealistic, said Chuck Ferguson, commuter rail director for Johnson County Transit.
At a Johnson County Transportation Advisory Council meeting, Ferguson said the line required more data gathering than he had anticipated. He said it would take four to five more months to complete the first of three phases of the project, which includes determining if commuter trains would disrupt freight traffic.
Part of the delay also was caused by the MidAmerica Regional Council's decision to rework its computerized transportation model, a key to forecasting how many riders commuter rail would attract.
Demographics, land use, employment, housing and other factors are considered to estimate potential rider.
ship, said Steve Noble, the council's manager of long-range transportation planning. He said the development of the new model also slowed other projects in the area, including Kansas City's lightrail study and a major study looking at transportation from the Northland to downtown.

CHICAGO — Despite bad weather and labor unrest, the nation's airlines got the job done as millions of Americans returned home after the Thanksgiving holiday with few hassles.
Results were mixed on the nation's roads and railways. Amtrak reported no trouble, but road conditions contributed to fatal accidents and highway closures from Maine to Washington state Sunday.
Major delays and cancellations at airports were scarce from Boston to San Francisco, even though the Air Transport Association expected a record 2.24 million passengers to take to the skies Sunday. No actual figures were available yesterday.
Plane crash claims lives of couple, son
RXFORD, Pa. — A small plane crashed in the woods of northwestern Pennsylvania, killing a couple and their teen age son.
The single-engine plane took off Sunday morning from Bradford, near the Pennsylvania New York state line and about 70 miles southeast of Erie. It crashed a few minutes later several miles from the airport.
The pilot had radioed that he needed to return to the airport, said Jim Peters, a Federal Aviation Administration representative.
Police were awaiting dental records to identify the victims, but Josephine Pavel of Olean, N.Y., said yesterday that her daughter's driver's license and her grandson's school papers were found in the wreckage.
Pavel said her daughter, son-in-law and grandson — JoEllen and Peter Sandek, both 49, and their 13-year-old son, Kyle — had left Olean earlier Sunday after a Thanksgiving visit to fly home to Atlanta.
Cross-border assault response to bombing
WORLD
KFAR CHOUBA, Lebanon — Israel, still engaged in violence with the Palestinians, faced fresh security problems Sunday in Lebanon, where it rained missiles and machine gun fire in retaliation for a Hebbollah bombing that killed one soldier. The assault was the
most serious cross-border retaliatory attack since Israel pulled its troops from southern Lebanon in May to end its 18-year occupation of a border enclave there. In early October, Israeli troops fired on demonstrators trying to scale the border fence at the Yarin crossing point, killing one person.
Serbs vow to fight to regain lost territory
BUJANOVAC, Yugoslavia — Serb police said they would use all available means, including heavy weapons, to regain territory lost to ethnic Albanian militants as a deadline approached last night for NATO to crack down on the rebels.
The new democratic government of Voijslav Kostunica thinks ethnic Albanian extremists operating from Kosovo launched attacks in southern Serbia, capturing four villages in the buffer zone between Kosovo and Serbia. Beilgrade threatened to launch counterattacks on its side of the border if NATO could not curb the infiltration by 7 last night. U.S. and other troops patrol the Kosovo side next to the buffer zone.
Mexico wants America to face drug problem
SAN CRISTOBAL, Mexico — Days before his historic inauguration as president, Vicente Fox said America should deal with its drug habit and pledged to join the United States and Canada in what he called "NAFTA-plus."
In an interview with The Associated Press before he takes office on Friday, Fox said the United States was too quick to write off Mexico as a corrupt haven for drug smugglers — and too reluctant to look in the mirror. Fox said the two countries needed to "sit down" and work this out together."
Exit polls show leftists likely to rule Romania
BUCHAREST, Romania — Leftists appeared headed to power again in Romania following elections that also produced a strong showing by a nationalist known for tirades against ethnic minorities.
Ex-communist lion iliescu, who led the country from 1990 to 1996, was first in a field of 11 presidential candidates with 36.5 percent of Sunday's vote, according to an exit poll of 23,000 voters. It estimated iliescu's Social Democracy Party had 39.6 percent of the parliamentary vote. Falling short of a simple majority of the 17.7 million possible votes, iliescu was likely to face a runoff Dec. 10 against ultranationalist Corneliu Vadim Tudor, who was second with 27.9 percent in the poll by the IMAS polling institute. Other exit polls produced similar results.

The lights are on, and the sale signs are up. Holiday music is infiltrating the airwaves, and pine trees are making their way into living rooms.
With the onslaught of Christmas, it's easy to forget that some people on campus don't celebrate the holiday.
Some of those people are Muslim and acknowledged the beginning of Ramadan — a holy month of fasting in the Islamic calendar — yesterday.
Asma Latif, a Shawnee Mission freshman who has fasted since she was 10 and will fast again this year, said many Muslim students would refrain from eating during the day for one month instead of buying gifts for one another. Fasting during the day is required of every able adult Muslim.
Other non-Christians, such as the approximately 1,500 Jewish students at the University of Kansas, also divert from the norm during December. But they face different challenges than other non-Christians
because of the close associations made between Christmas and Hanukkah.
Sue Shafer-Landau, faculty adviser for Hillel, an organization for Jewish students, said both holidays occurred near the winter solstice, and both involved bringing light to a
dark world. But the similarities end there, she said.
("Hanukkah) is more or less a political holiday," Shafer-Landau said. "It's about religious freedom."
Shafer-Landau said the irony was that Hanukkah was only a minor holiday in the Jewish
faith, but its association with Christmas made it seem more important than Rosh Hashanah or Yom Kippur.
Sarah Shik, president of Hillel, said Hanukkah was a miracle story of Jewish perseverance.
It is based on a Jewish revolt
against Rome, Shafer-Landau said. Although the Jews were triumphant, their temple was defiled, and there wasn't enough oil left to keep the Menorah, or eternal light, burning.
"But, magically, there was enough oil to keep the flame lit for eight days." Shik said.
"We consider Christmas a religious holiday, and most people out there in the world don't." she said.
As Christmas has become more commercialized, it also has become more secular. And Shafer-Landau said some people didn't understand why non-Christians didn't celebrate the holiday.
Shik said Hanukkah was not traditionally a gift-giving holiday, but like Christmas, it had been affected by consumerism.
Jewish people traditionally light candles on the holiday, eat traditional food and play traditional games with their families, Shafer-Landau said.
But in the United States, which is marked with religious diversity, people borrow from the religious customs of their neighbors.
Sometimes it means giving gifts, Shik said, and sometimes it means putting up a Hanukkah bush instead of a Christmas tree.

Senate Web site updated; page to offer housing guide
By Kursten Phelps
writer @kansan.com
Kansan stuff writer
The Student Senate Web page is up and running, paving the way for an online off-campus housing guide.
The page's design had not been updated in more than two years, and the current page has several new features, including a legislation page, email links to current senators and an application to join Senate committees, said Greg Smith, Senate webmaster and Olathe senior.
"I think it'll help a lot with out.
reach, because it's now really easy to join a committee, and it keeps people apprised of what's going on in Senate," Smith said. "We're hoping that by keeping legislation and minutes updated, students can log on and see that we do actually do stuff."
Smith said he also updated the Student Legislative Awareness Board and Center for Community Outreach Web pages.
An interactive housing/apartment search will be added to the Senate Web page in February, said Ben Walker, student body president.
UPDATED WEBPAGE
Student Senate has updated its Web page, with links to senators' e-mail accounts, current legislation and meeting minutes. The site is located at: http://www.ukans.edu/~senate
http://www.ukans.edu/~senate
"We have sent out all the letters to apartment complex owners with the questions we wanted to ask them and have received most of them back." Walker said. "We're going to start putting all that on the Web, with the
target date of Feb. 1 for it to be ready."
Walker said Senate's upgraded Web page was an effort to keep up with a more Internet-oriented society.
"I think that so much of the world today is online that it is high time for Student Senate to get with the times," Walker said. "Hopefully, by updating our Web page to be more user friendly, it will be used as a resource."
Senate approved the webmaster position this summer, and Walker said Senate would have to address extending that position on a permanent basis.
"There was a lot of start-up work this year, but a lot of the work in the future will just be maintenance. We'll need to have a discussion in Senate next semester about how we'll deal with that position." Walker said
Smith said ideally, a webmaster would not be needed in the future.
"If it works perfectly, which nothing ever does, we won't need a webmaster because the page is designed so senators can update the information," Smith said.
Student Senate's Web page is at www.ukans.edu/~senate.

Democrats challenge vote count
Continued from page 1A
counts Friday. It decided yesterday not to let the proceedings be televised.
Gore's Florida lawsuit seeks an injunction to prevent Harris from declaring the winning presidential electors until proceedings are completed in the contest.
In Miami-Dade, Gore lawyers want a count of the 10,000 votes they said could not be read by a voting machine and were not hand-counted.
It asks the court to examine ballots and order recounts in the three counties, and to declare Gore the winner of the electoral votes.
In Nassau County, Democrats are seeking to add a recounted total that would give Gore 52 more votes.
In the three-county contest filed by Gore, lawyers alleged that the vote totals reported to the secretary of state Sunday were inaccurate.
Multiple problems were alleged in Palm Beach County where Harris refused to extend the 5 p.m. Sunday deadline for hand counting and then rejected the partial count submitted.
The brief said the final total, completed at 7:30 p.m. would have added 215 votes to the Democrat.
Beyond that, the brief said some Palm Beach voters did not completely perforate their ballots. No allowance was made for partially perforated or indented chads on the presidential votes unless similar dimples were seen in other races.

Letters to the Editor Media fuels parties' discord
The Nov. 17 editorial "Recount in Florida is necessary" is a prime example of the partisan and incredibly liberal bias that is currently plaguing news reports. The writer comments that the Gore campaign's "true" goal "is that the recount should be done carefully but not necessarily slowly." I take issue with that statement. The votes in Florida have been counted and recounted. The "true" goal of the Gore campaign is to subvert the election. By recounting the votes, the Gore campaign is trying to manipulate the process to ensure a win. How many times should the votes be counted?
The election regularities call to mind a spoiled child who is losing a game and demands that the rules change midstream. By furthering this ideal in the Kansan and ignoring the rule of law, reporters are fueling the discord between the parties. I write this letter to remind the Kansan that, as reporters, it is not only your duty to report the truth, but to champion it. This editorial parrots the Gore rhetoric and, in doing so, ignores several pertinent facts.
First, of the 19,000 ballots or so that were thrown out, a majority have already been recast because the voter realized she or he made an error. Second, a Democrat created the Palm Beach County ballot, and it was available a month before the election. Third, ballots are thrown out of every election because, in a true democracy, a person cannot vote for two people for one office. Finally, a UNLV math professor calculated the odds that an additional two thousand votes could be found for Al Gore and calculated that a person is more likely to be struck by lightning 30 times. Where are these facts?
SUV consumers should know vehicles' uses before buying
Dana Mowrey
Shawnee senior
They also get horrible gas mileage. Consider how you intend to use the vehicle before buying one. The proposed changes, such as a lower-profile, longer wheel base and lower ground clearance on SUVs negate the sole purpose for their original design. I chose one for traveling in the mountains where I have encountered snow, mud, large rocks and logs in the road. The new designs proposed for SUVs would make travel in these regions more difficult, if not impossible. If your sole purpose is to commute on pavement, choose a passenger car with good gas mileage. Some argue that an SUV will come in handy on ice but, in reality, it's not any better than a car.
This is a response to the Nov. 21 editorial "SUVs bring unknown dangers." I own a Nissan Pathfinder that is classified as an SUV, and I realized that when I purchased it. It is not a passenger or sports car capable of taking tight turns, accelerating from zero to 60 mph in five seconds, etc. I purchased the truck primarily for off-road use. Unfortunately, the auto industry does not seem to realize the original purpose for SUVs. SUVs have high clearance and a shorter wheel base to make travel over rough terrain easier. All the commercials, however, present SUVs as vehicles that handle like cars. If you are going to purchase an SUV, determine whether you are purchasing one for off-road use—four wheeling, work, etc. Most of the SUVs purchased are four-wheel drive grocery-getters or the "trend" vehicle to look "outdoorsy."

Instant runoff ballots prove efficient in other elections
Now that we have serious third-party challenges, we need an "instant runoff" ballot to avoid dilemmas such as "spoiler," "wasted vote" and winners by plurality. An instant runoff ballot would allow voters to express second, third and fourth preferences if their preferred candidate has a low count in the first ballot count.
On the second count, low candidates would be eliminated, and the second (or lower) preferences of their first preference supporters would be counted toward their second (or lower) preference candidate. More eliminations would continue until a candidate achieves a majority.
The idea is that instant runoff voting can be done instantly with one visit to the polls and with no extra expense of an additional time delayed runoff election campaign.
Many jurisdictions within the United States and foreign countries make provisions for runoff elections if no candidate receives a majority. It is used in Australia to elect the senate and in Ireland to elect the president. Some local community and school board elections in New York City use it as well.
By being sensitive to voters' second, third and fourth preferences, the instant runoff would give voters enough confidence to vote their true preferences without fear of wasting their votes. No candidate could be accused of being a spoiler because supporters' second, third and fourth preferences would count if eliminated in the early counts. A winning candidate would have to gain support of a majority of voters, preventing winning of the election by a plurality because opposition is so divided.

Perspective
Encounter sparks epiphany for campus parking offender
have news for you. Satan isn't that bad a env.
Well, not necessarily Satan, but the University of Kansas Parking Department an entity seen by most students as the most unholy of all. Granted that I, too, used to hate the parking department, one incident a few weeks ago changed my whole perspective.
I reached to tow my car.
Yes, I've run into trouble with the parking
sharks out about the years, and I've always paid them about a year's worth of my piddling part-time salary. When I started collecting parking tickets like old baseball cards at the start of the semester, I just decided to let them go, hoping they would fade away into a few more ghosts in my proverbal closet.
DANIEL ROBERTS
But one fateful morning outside Dole Center changed everything. After my third parking ticket in as many days, one of the
"nice" gentlemen from the parking department decided my car was best suited for the impound lot. That's where I came in, as the parking employee was on his radio, desperately trying to reach A&W Towing.
Michael
Rigg
guest columnist
opinion@kanan.com
"What the &*%# are you doing?" I politely inquired.
The parking employees probably receive those same questions hundreds of times per day. But the gentleman explained that I had two options: pay my tickets immediately, using my eternally maxed-out credit card, or have my car towed to
"Oh great, you're finally here," responded the employee. "We've decided to tow your car." "What the % & @ © I asked again."
the other side of the river which, if you've ever been to the other side of the river, is never a good option.
Somehow, I squeezed the room on my credit card and paid the man. During the conversation, he was professional and relaxed and actually presented himself to me as a nice, upstanding guy — not the money-hungry cuss that I previously envisioned. As it turned out, he does indeed have friends (putting to rest a common misconception of parking employees) and a personality. In fact, one time he even apologized for the incredible stress my tickets put on my finances.
He could have easily towed my car, making me walk across the river to fish my car out of the sea of the impound lots. But he seemed to empathize and stressed the fact that he was only doing his job. As I finally drove home, I reached an epiphany.
I used to hate the parking department. I used to try to torment them by playing a game of cat-and-mouse to see how many times I could park illegally. When the Kansan ran an article last year about students spit on and flip off the parking department employees, I was that guy. But just a few minutes of actually spending time with the parking sharks and understanding where they are coming from changed my perspective.
Did my experience change anything? Well, the short answer is no, as I’m parked illegally behind Dole even as I write this article, with my roommate illegally parked right next to me. Yes, I’m probably on the tow list again. But this time, I’ll understand.
So, now I am a tad more understanding when I see the pink envelope of death poking its head out from underneath my windshield wiper. I understand these people have a job to do. Why should I be mad at them — for doing it so well?
The parking department isn't that bad. And that's something that took me 20 years of growing up to understand.

Editorial
High courts should rule on election
Election 2000 must be determined by courts to ensure legitimacy.
Florida Secretary of State Katherine Harris violated the spirit of the democratic process Sunday night by certifying the election results without even a partial recount from Palm Beach County. By embracing the disputed certification and calling upon Vice President Al Gore to drop his legal challenges to contest the Florida results, Gov. George W. Bush not only violated the spirit of the democratic process but eroded his credibility in seeking a fair and accurate vote count.
In light of the events since the presidential election on Nov. 7, it is paramount that the courts deliver the last word on the election as we proceed into unexplored legal territory. This will give the election results the legitimacy that is necessary for Bush or Gore to assume the office of the presidency on a sound, firm basis. Once the courts have handed down a decision, the time for litigation and partisan wrangling will be over, and the victor — if there can be a victor in this political quagmire — can begin restoring confidence to the presidency.
In the meantime, legal challenges abound from both sides — which must be resolved to authoritatively determine the next president of the United States. One is the contention by Gore's campaign that the certified vote totals in three Florida counties — Nassau, Palm Beach and Miami-Dade — are improper, if not illegal. The Bush campaign has pending court challenges of its own. The U.S. Supreme Court will hear arguments Friday in a suit brought by the Bush campaign about the legality of the manual recounts
Despite the legal muddle, it is incumbent on both politicians and citizens to put aside partisan bickering and await the courts' decisions. After all, in the United States, politics are ruled by law, not the other way around. If the election totals are allowed to remain as they stand without such questions being resolved, the Florida totals will be forever tainted and, as a result, will damage the credibility of the democratic process.

I was riding my bike on campus, and I ran over a squirrel. To make things worse, some girl laughed at me.
Why is it the movie critic for the Kansan never likes the movies he goes to see?

Program aids those with mental illnesses
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Jennifer Valadez
A program in the KU School of Social Welfare is teaching individuals who live with mental illnesses to help others who lead similar lives.
The program, Consumers As Providers, was started a year and a half ago at the University of Kansas to teach those who experience severe and persistent mental illnesses to become providers themselves. Participants in the program have jobs helping others with mental illnesses.
Diane McDiarmid, project direc
tor and instructor, said in Kansas,
35 percent of people with psychiatric illnesses had jobs.
"We had 22 graduates from our program last semester, and 14 out of those 22 are involved in work situations," she said. "We're almost doubling the statewide percent of people who are dealing with their disabilities and working."
McDairmid, who designed the program and developed its curriculum, said participants, who are not KU students, learned the basics in human services such as communication skills and ethics, goal making, gauging and building relationships with consumers, and boundaries in human services.
Participants in the program meet twice a week in the Kansas Union to learn the fundamentals of the human service field and to discuss individual internship progress.
Participants complete a 15-week internship at one of the following clinics that work with the program each semester: Franklin, Wyandotte and Johnson County Mental Health clinics as well as the Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, 200 Maine St.
"The internship is taking theoretical and putting it into practice in the field by working with other clients," McDiarmid said.
Anna Speckman, supported education liaison, said a requirement
of the program was that participants had a diagnosed severe and persistent mental illness. She said most who applied were accepted unless there was a problem that wouldn't allow them to succeed.
"We don't want to set anyone up for failure," she said.
Speckman said she had seen vast improvements in the 28 people who were in the program this semester.
"I've seen an incredible amount of progress in the students," she said. "They've been each other's support, and they're a lot more direct, assertive and confident in themselves and their abilities, too."
Bob Beebe, Lawrence resident,
said CAP had been beneficial to him. He said it was a chance for him to give back to the community and to help others who lived with mental illness.
Beebe had an internship with the Bert Nash center where he also is a patient. He said he wanted to be an example of the competence the mentally ill have in the work force.
"I know what it's like and what they try to put you through," he said. "No one will give the mentalily ill a chance, and I want to get out there and show them how much we can work."

Volunteers ingest water pollutant in experiment
The Associated Press
SAN BERNARDINO, Calif. — Volunteers in a drinking-water study are being paid $1,000 each to take pills containing an industrial pollutant found in rocket fuel.
The experiment, designed to determine if a pollutant called perchlorate interferes with thyroid glands, will develop data that could influence the setting of national and state drinking water standards, the Los Angeles Times rep. yesterday. Perchlorate is frequently found in drinking water
But the experiment at Loma Linda Medical Center, funded by Lockheed Martin, also has raised questions about whether scientists should allow people to ingest chemicals or pesticides to help researchers learn about the dangers of environmental contaminants.
It is believed to be the first large-scale study to use human volunteers to test a water pollutant.
"These tests are inherently unethical," said Richard Wiles, research director of the Environmental Working Group, an environmental group that opposes such studies on humans.
Those who perform tests on humans compare them to clinical trials for drugs. But critics say clinical trials are done to help find treatments for sick people, while consuming a pollutant has no medical benefits.
Of the 100 volunteers involved in the six-month experiment, which began in August, half of them ingest the pollutant, and the others get a placebo.
Scientists in the Loma Linda study argue that perchlorate is not just a pollutant but a drug used to treat hyperthyroidism.
At high doses, perchlorate can inhibit production of thyroid hormones, research shows. Normal thyroid function is critical for regulating the growth of fetuses and young children and the metabolism of adults.
Those taking the perchlorate are swallowing 83 times more than a person would get from drinking water containing the amount allowed by California's Department of Health Services, according to the Los Angeles Times.
A study published this year shows that infants in the Lake Mead area of Arizona — where water contains perchlorate — are born with altered thyroid function. But other studies, in perchlorate-contaminated areas of Las Vegas and Chile, have shown no such effects.
The Loma Linda volunteers are undergoing monthly medical examinations to ensure that they face no health threats while participating in the study, researchers say.
There is currently no government agency that regulates human experiments. But every institution has a review board that must approve every study.
The boards of three medical institutions approved Loma Linda's perchlorate tests, said Anthony Firek, who is directing the study.
In addition to Loma Linda, Boston University approved the study — which employs one of the researchers — and the Jerry L. Pettis Memorial VA Medical Center, where some of the tests are being done, the Los Angeles Times reported.

Microsoft lashes out at federal judge
WASHINGTON — Seeking to keep its business intact, Microsoft filed legal briefs yesterday that allege the federal judge who ordered the company's breakup compromised the "appearance of impartiality."
In its first filing with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia, which now has custody of the landmark case, Microsoft lambasted U.S. District Judge Thomas Penfield Jackson as a biased judge who thrust himself into the dispute rather than resolve it impartially.
"By repeatedly commenting on the merits of the case in the press," the company's brief argued, "the district judge has cast himself in the public's eye as a participant in the controversy, thereby compromising the appearance of impartiality, if not demonstrating actual bias against Microsoft."
A representative for Jackson said the judge had no comment on Microsoft's statements.
"Believe me, I have no grudge against Microsoft," Jackson said in an interview with The Washington Post just days after his June ruling. But in the interview, which was rare for a federal judge, Jackson said he had little choice but to accept the government's breakup proposal.
And in a speech to an antitrust conference in New York in late September, Jackson said his order was a last resort forced by the company's unwillingness to make changes voluntarily.
Microsoft asked the appellate court yesterday to overturn Jackson's order that the company be broken into two parts. If the higher court calls for a new trial, Microsoft wants someone other than Jackson to preside.
Yesterday's brief was the latest volley in a long-running battle that could result in the largest government-ordered restructuring since the AT&T breakup in 1984.
"The case went awry from the outset, and our appeal provides a comprehensive picture of why Microsoft should win this case," said Vivek Varma, company representative.
Microsoft's brief asked the federal appeals court to find that Jackson was wrong in concluding that the software giant was an unfair monopoly and reverse his breakup order.
Justice Department representative Gina Talamona said, "The judgment is well supported by the evidence offered during a 78-day trial, including thousands of pages of Microsoft's own documents. We are confident in our case and look forward to presenting it to the Court of Appeals."
Microsoft said its "competitive response" to the takeoff of widespread Internet use and Web browser-rival Netscape "produced enormous consumer benefits" and did not illegally conquer its market, as the government charged.
"The District Court branded Microsoft's conduct anticompetitive, even though it recognized that Microsoft did not foreclose Netscape from the marketplace," it said.
Netscape Corp.'s Navigator software was the standard Internet browser until Microsoft's Internet Explorer took over. The government has maintained that when Microsoft integrated its Windows operating system with Internet Explorer, it pushed competitors like Netscape out of the market.
The government is due to file its brief Jan. 12 with the appeals court. Microsoft will have a chance to reply by the end of January, and oral arguments in the case are set for late February. Jackson's ruling came in early June.
The Justice Department, suing Microsoft along with several state attorneys general, had wanted the case to be passed directly to the Supreme Court, citing a long-standing law that allows such high-profile cases special consideration, but the high court refused.
Meanwhile, the Association for Competitive Technology (ACT) filed a "friend of the court" brief for Microsoft. ACT, founded in 1998 when the federal government's effort against Microsoft was escalating, has frequently defended the Redmond, Wash-based firm.
ACT argued that Microsoft improved its products by fusing them together, rather than trying to shut out competitors, as the court concluded.
The group also said splitting the company in two — one part managing with the Windows operating system and another comprising everything else the company controls — would hurt the market by eroding the industry standard. Windows runs on more than 90 percent of the world's personal computers.
New Jersey police linked to racial profiling
The Associated Press
TRENTON, N.J. — Nearly 100,000 pages of documents made public yesterday show that New Jersey state troopers stopped overwhelmingly disproportionate numbers of minorities in searches for drugs, the state's attorney general said.
However, no evidence has been found that New Jersey worked to hide evidence that troopers searched minority motorists based solely on the color of their skin, he said.
The records were made available yesterday at a reading room in the state's Hughes Justice Complex.
New Jersey is committed to ending racial profiling, Gov. Christie Whitman said in a statement yesterday.
"While racial profiling did not begin in this state or under this administration, history will show that the end of racial profiling in America did indeed begin in New Jersey and under this administration." Whitman said.
The documents were expected to show that for more than a decade, state leaders knew about the large numbers of minorities being searched and tried to balance that knowledge against legal drug-busting strategies — some of
which received the blessing of the White House.
In an April 1999 report, former Attorney General Peter Verniero admitted minorities were targeted. That came a year after gunshots from two troopers wounded three minority men during a traffic stop on the New Jersey Turnpike and sparked a furor about racial profiling.
But according to the new documents, Verniero and his predecessors were aware for more than 10 years that minority drivers on the turnpike were being stopped and searched more than Caucasions.
The U.S. Supreme Court has said police can use race as a factor in motor vehicle stops, said Attorney General John J. Farmer Jr. The Justice Department included race in profiles of traffickers said to be using the turnpike as a drug pipeline, he said.
"What you'll see is an agency and a department struggling with these uncertainties," he said. "There was no overarching conspiracy to cover this up. There was an attempt to understand it. There was an attempt to put it into context.
"My hope is by getting all of this out, the people will understand, will see the whole picture."
The attorney general announced in September his decision to release the records after months of fighting in court to block their release. Defense attorneys claimed the records would prove biased troopers tainted hundreds of arrests.
Farmer said at the time he wanted to make the files available outside the context of litigation.
State police memos from 1900 will show that former Attorney General Robert Del Tufo and then-state police superintendent Col. Justin Dintino saw reports showing overwhelming numbers of minorities were targeted, Farmer said.
An order to the troopers from Dintino demanded a halt to that, another record being made public shows. Farmer said
"They were tremendously ahead of their time." Farmer said.
After an internal investigation, four troopers were indicted, and 20 others were fired. he said.
This month, federal prosecutors agreed to pursue possible criminal charges against the two troopers involved in the 1998 turnpike shooting.
That followed dismissal of charges against the troopers by a state judge, whose ruling accused prosecutors of misconduct and a former state attorney general of bowing to political pressure.

Hockey season a slapping success
By Aaron Johnson

Kansas trail writer
Kansan sportswriter
The buzzer has sounded and the results are in another successful intramural floor hockey season has been completed.
Men's greek, women's greek, men's open and corecreational, as well as residence hall teams, competed in the intramural floor hockey regular season and tournament
"The sportsmanship and play were at an all-time high" said Jason Krone, intramural director.
Krone attributed some of
the season's success to the new equipment this year.
The players agreed that the season was a success.
New floor hockey sticks also were provided to the participants this year.
"A new ball was used instead of a puck this year, which helped the overall course of the game," Krone said.
"Our team had a blast," said sophomore Jenny Fimmen, a member of the champion Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority squad. "It was the best intramural season yet. The league was very competitive and very physical. Almost every game was close."
Fimmen's team was one of the four women's intramural floor hockey teams. Krone said that the increased participation pleased him.
"The number of teams increased this year to around 40." Krone said. "The increase caused for better participation, which is always positive."
Beta Theta Pi was crowned champion of the men's greek division, while Slap Sticks was awarded first place in the co-rec and men's open division.
The Cellar Dwellars cap-
"It was the best intramural season yet. The league was very competitive and very physical. Almost every game
was close."
Jenny Fimmen
Kappa Kappa Gamma team
tured first place in the residence hall division.
"Overall, the season went really well," Krone said. "I
think everyone had a real good time."
Now that the intramural floor hockey season has been completed, both basketball and racquetball singles will provide excitement until winter break.
Krone said he also was pleased with the added convenience to participants through the Internet.
"Reactions have been good in relation to schedules on the Web site." Krone said.

Missouri tight end arrested on drug charges
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Brandon Ford, a junior tight end at Missouri, was arrested after authorities found approximately 50 pounds of marijuana at his home, police said.
Missouri State Highway Patrol Cpl. Paul Reinsch said a search warrant was executed Sunday at Ford's house in Columbia, where the drugs were found.
Sgt. Bryan Pierster of the Columbia Police Department said Ford, of Galveston, Texas, was released Sunday night pending further federal investigation.
The U.S. Attorney's office in K an s a s City now is handling the
M
case, Reinsch said.
Plester said he did not know if any charges had been filed, and a clerk at the U.S. District Court in Kansas City said Ford had yet to appear on the docket by yesterday afternoon.
Calls to the U.S. Attorney's office in Kansas City were not immediately returned.
In eight games this season, Ford caught three passes for 31
yards and one touchdown. In three seasons at Missouri, Ford has a total of 11 catches for 113 yards and two touchdowns.
A team representative said he was not aware of the arrest, and the school would likely not have any comment.
Before the season started, John McPherson, a projected starter in Missouri's defensive backfield, was arrested on felony drug charges after police said they found about 100 pounds of marijuana in his car. He was later charged with felony drug trafficking.
Coach Larry Smith suspended and later dismissed McPherson
from the team for a "violation of team policy and regulations" and refused to comment further on the arrest.
Travis Garvin, a sophomore wide receiver, was suspended for reportedly failing a drug test after Missouri's game against Western Illinois.
He later was dismissed from the team in a dispute with the coaching staff about a knee injury.
Missouri finished the season with a 3-8 record, and Smith was fired one day after the Tigers' season-ending 28-24 loss to Kansas State.
Sooners back on top, ready to battle K-State
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. Oklahoma is back. And nobody is prouder than the players who put a stop to a decade of coaching chaos and on-field failure.
"It's a good feeling for Oklahoma to be back on the map," said Damian Mackey, one of quarterback Josh Heupel's receivers. "It's one of the outstanding programs in college football. For me, it's a special occasion."
Q
Unbeaten ranked No.1 and hoping for their first national championship since 1985, the Sooners will meet No.8
Kansas State in Kansas City's Arrowhead Stadium Saturday for the Big 12 championship.
If they win, they're off to the Orange Bowl and the BCS national championship game. If they lose, they'll be the third Big 12 team in five years denied a shot at a national title because they got upset in the conference championship match.
It happened in 1986 when Texas upset Nebraska. It happened in 1988 when Texas &Amp; milled for a victory against Kansas State.
The Sooners are determined not to let it happen to them.
"I just think it's exciting." said
Bob Stoops, who coached the Sooners to a 41-31 victory against then-No. 2 Kansas State on Oct. 14. "It's another game to play. We're fired up about it. I don't have any part of setting up the BCS game, so I'm not going to worry about it."
The Sooners certainly had fun with Kansas State in their first meeting. Heupel hit 29-of-37 passes for 374 yards and two touchdowns, and Oklahoma bolted to a 17-point halffeat lead en route to its 10-point victory.
That was the day that knocked the Wildcats out of national contention and put Oklahoma squarely in the thick of the flight.
By exacting revenge against the team that dashed their dreams, the Wildcats (10-2) could get a bid to a BCS bowl, possibly the Fiesta.
A loss might doom them to the Alamo Bowl for the second time in three years.
"Obviously, we're going to have to play much better than we did in the initial game," said Kansas State coach Bill Snyder. "I don't think we could make a lot of wholesale changes defensively. We have to do what we do. ... We had a very difficult time. We're going to have to be a heck of a lot better."
This time, the Wildcats might take a cue from a few teams that slowed Heupel with a zone defense.
"We've just got to correct the mistakes we made," said defensive end Chris Johnson. "If we do that, we'll be fine."
Guards: Kansas has great guard depth, but Illinois guard Allison Curtin scored 21 against Tennessee in the Maul Classic. Advantage: Illinois.

Although No. 2 Kansas surged past Middle Tennessee State 92-66 last night, two resurgent Jayhawks turned in the real breakaway performances.
Collison stepped up when Middle Tennessee cut the lead to 28-24.
Junior guard Jeff Boschee and sophomore forward Nick Collison both bounced back from lackluster performances against Washburn on Saturday and helped Kansas charge past the Blue Raiders.
Chenowith fired a pass to Collien under the basket, and he ripped a dunk. One minute later, Collien returned the favor and found Chenowith open for a layup. Collien then blocked Middle Tennessee forward Dale Thomas' shot before scoring another basket that increased the Kansas lead to 43-26.
Collison led the team in scoring in the first half with eight points and finished the game with 12 while hitting six of eight shots. He also swatted three shots.
He collected three fouls in 25 minutes, but his production was much improved from his two points and five fouls in just 10 minutes of play against Washburn. He said he played with more enthusiasm in an effort to bounce back.
"In practice yesterday I realized I needed to just go out there and play and have fun; I did that tonight," Collison said. "I definitely wanted to come out and really do something tonight."
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he never doubted Collison would bounce back.
"We talked for a couple of minutes about it because I just wanted to make sure nothing was wrong with him," Williams said. "Everybody's gonna have a bad night, and that's what I
tried to talk to him about. I didn't get too concerned because I knew he was going to play the next game out and he did. He played very well."
Boschee also showed improvement last night. He hit just two of his seven shots against Washburn and missed all three treys he attempted, but Williams said he chalked that up to an unexpected bad day, too.
"When he shoots it, I think they're all going in," Williams said. "I'm never gonna be concerned about Jeff Boschese's shot. He's a threat, and he's added a little bit more because he's taking the ball to the basket more this year than he ever has."
Bosche ignited an early second-half run by hitting three straight three-pointers that gave Kansas a 26-point lead. A steal and layup added to the onslaught, and Bosche led the 'Hawks with 19 points.

Kansan sportswriter
When they play Kansas today, the Illinois women's basketball team doesn't want to see what they saw in the Inaugural Mauli Classic tournament in Hawaii last weekend — a dunk by their opponent's center.
The Fighting Illini (2-1) gave up the fifth dunk in the history of women's college basketball to center Michelle Snow of No. 2 Tennessee.
The Fighting Illini went 1-1 in the tournament, beating Alcorn State 73-56, and lost to Tennessee, 111-62. The loss to Tennessee was the school's worst since a 112-49 loss to Purdue in 1991.
Illinois doesn't want to make the same mistake against the Jayhawks it did against Tennessee. Its defense allowed Tennessee to go on a 25-3 run, shooting 9-of-9 from the field and scoring on 11 of its 12 possessions.
Curtain led the team in scoring, steals, free throws, field goals and three-pointers last season. She was ranked third in the Big Ten last season, scoring 17.5 points per game.
To avoid the poor shooting it suffered against Tennessee, Illinois will depend on junior guard Allison Curtain, who scored 21 points against Tennessee.
The Kansas women also should remember
sophomore guard Shavonna Hunter from last season's match-up. She grabbed nine steals from Kansas and broke the Illinois record.
The Fighting Illini beat the Jayhawks 61-59 last season after freshmen Kristi Faulker hit a shot in the lane with 2.7 seconds left.
Illinois brings new talent to the court this year. Freshmen Brenda Blackburn, Cindy Dallas, Iveta Marcauskaite and Ann O'Neill have been important for the team.
Marcauskatie and O'Neil scored in double digits in their season opener. O'Neil was the top scorer for the fighting Illini, scoring 18 points, and was 5-of-5 from the free throw line. Marcauskatie scored 11 points and brought down eight rebounds.
However, Illinois will face the challenge of rebounding from a tough tournament in Hawaii. The Jayhawks also will be playing tired, coming off three games in six days during Thanksgiving break.
"I think both teams are tired; there is no question about it," Washington said.
Jennifer Jackson said she was glad to be back on her home court, playing against a quality team such as Illinois.
"For us to be able to come back home and get a big game against a quality opponent is going to be good for us," Jackson said.

Kansas football fires assistants
Kansas fired its defensive coordinator and offensive line coach yesterday.
Coach Terry Allen, himself under increasing criticism from fans after the team's disappointing 4-7 finish, announced the moves.
Defensive coordinator Ardell Wiegandt had worked four seasons as defensive coordinator and defensive line coach. Before coming to Kansas, Wiegandt spent eight seasons under Allen at Northern Iowa.
Offensive coach Walt Klinker joined Kansas in 1997 and had worked with Allen for 14 years as an assistant at Northern Iowa.
"This was a very difficult and extremely painful decision for me personally," Allen said in a statement. "However, I felt it was necessary for the future of our program."
Allen also said Darrell Wyatt, Kansas' wide receivers coach and assistant head coach, had been promoted to offensive coordinator and associate head coach.
Wyatt replaces Bill Salmon, who will serve as running backs coach, Allen said. Both fired coaches made statements about their dismissals.
"We didn't perform on defense this season, and that's my responsibility." Wiegandt said. "That's why these things happen in coaching."
"I'm a team player, and if this will improve the team and help Terry's chances of winning, then I will accept this decision for the good of the team," he said.
Klinker said it was possible he wasn't getting the job done.

Flyers upset ranked teams for Top 25 spot in AP poll
The Associated Press
DAYTON, Ohio — The last time the Dayton Flyers were ranked in The Associated Press poll, none of the current players had even been born.
Now the Flyers are the new kids on the block after upsetting two ranked teams last week in the Maui Invitational and capturing the next-to-last spot in this week's Top 25.
Coach Oliver Purnell said yesterday that the team would appreciate some respect from basketball fans around the country.
"The only way to get that respect is to earn it," Purnell said. "In the past several years, we've been in the process of earning that respect. This kind of validates it."
Duke gained the No.1 spot in the poll. The Blue Devils (5-0), who won the Preseason NIT, replaced Arizona, which lost to Purdue in the inaugural Wooden Tradition.
Dayton was last ranked in the final poll of the 1973-74 season. Last week, the team got renewed attention.
The Flyers (2-1) beat then-No. 12 Connecticut, 80-66. After losing 75-90 to the No. 1 Arizona in the second round, Dayton bounced back for a 77-71 victory against then-No. 6 Maryland for a third-place finish in the tournament.
Purnell said the Flyers were successful at Maui because they went into the tournament with confidence and played without fear.
"Overall, I think it was a positive attitude in believing in our team." he said.
Purnell said he did not think being ranked brought additional pressure. And he hopes his players feel the same way.
ranking when they play No. 22 Cincinnati.
"It certainly is an honor anytime you're recognized nationally," he said. "It's a step forward. But it's certainly the time of year you don't want to dwell on rankings."
When Purnell was hired six years ago, Dayton had won only 10 games in the previous two seasons and had not been to the NCAA tournament in four years. Purnell delivered a winning season his second year and last year produced an NCAA bid and the Flyers' best record — 22.9 — since 1967.
The Bearcats (2.1) fell from the No. 16 last week spot after losing to Notre Dame 69-51 Saturday despite 17 points from point guard Kenny Satterfield. Previously, Cincinnati had defeated Boise State and Marshall.
"It's a typical UC team — very athletic, really getting out and defending, a team that is aggressive and physical in nature," Purnell said.
The Flyers have often played in the shadow of their neighbors to the south — Cincinnati and Xavier. Tomorrow, the Flyers will get a chance to test their new

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Nov. 28).
Today's Birthday (Nov. 26).
Shortages inspire your budget this year. They could inspire creativity and a group effort, as well. You're flexible in December. Drop a bad habit forever. You're not broke in January, but you're careful with your cash. Spend time instead of money on your favorite charity. In February, take a class to make a dream come true. Take on a tough project in May for the money, not the fun of it. Make time in June for romance and go shopping for your household items in July. Accept congratulations from your friends in October.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 5.
An older person demands your attention. Give it freely, along with respect. Although you and this person don't always agree, you have a lot to teach each other. Have that be your intention, and this encounter will be more interesting.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
You are anxious to get away, but it might not be possible yet. Something important still needs to be done. Make travel plans and get your reservations; the sooner the better.
in 22-july 22) — Today is a 6.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
Your primary concern is money now. This includes your debt and money you want to borrow. If you and your sweetheart want to do something special soon, you can find the funding now. Watch out for that interest rate, though.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
Let an expert take the lead. Although you're not making the final decision, you're offering valuable insights. Your input and the other person's expertise help you make the right decision. It's a partnership effort.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Your work could take you into an area you don't know much about. You'll have to learn more, quickly. If you have the foresight to anticipate problems, find the manuals you'll need now. You won't have time to look for them later.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
You and a loved one want to celebrate, but there's a problem. The money you wanted to spend has been spent on something else. Don't fret. The gift you give doesn't need to cost a lot. Sometimes it's better if it doesn't. This is one of those times.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a d. O.
The best place for you to be tonight is home with the family. A close relative may need your advice. If you provide a safe place to talk, you won't have to provide all the answers. Somebody else will do that. Just be the moderator.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
You're smart, and you're learning fast. Something that you thought was one way could turn out to be another. Don't move too fast, especially with something you haven't done for long. You don't want to make an expensive mistake.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6. You want to get involved with a group, but you can't afford to spend much now. They need finances for a big push, and you don't have enough. You can contribute your good ideas, though. One of them could be worth more than money.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is an 8.
You're in control today, so be alert. You're taking on responsibilities,
and that's good. Pay attention. Others will notice if you make an error.
You're under pressure, but you're also lucky now. Full speed ahead!
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Travel doesn't look good right now. Stay where you are. Put off meetings or even phone calls with people from far away. If you can stall until tomorrow or the next day, your chances of success are better. No need to hurry. Be unavailable.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
A group endeavor has your attention. That's where your heart is too, but the money's hard to put together. You can go through a lot of it quickly. Don't spend the rent money, even for a good cause.

CBS uncertain about schedule for Survivor II
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — It's the nuclear bomb of the television season — Survivor II — and CBS is clearly enjoying the uncertainty about where it will drop.
The second version of the TV competition that captivated viewers last summer, with a different cast and setting in the Australian outback, will premiere Sunday, Jan. 28, after the CBS telecast of the Super Bowl.
Beyond that, CBS is keeping mum about what night the remaining 12 episodes of the limited-run series will air.
"I just like keeping our competitors on edge, because clearly they're all talking about it," CBS President Leslie Moonves said yesterday.
Moonves shot down a report yesterday that CBS would air Survivor II on Sunday nights. He said it's much more likely to be on in the middle of the week.
are generally the least watched nights of the week, it's doubtful CBS will show it then, either.
It definitely won't air on Monday or Tuesday, he said. Because Friday and Saturday
That leaves Wednesdays, where the original Survivor flourished at 8 p.m. EDT during the summer, or Thursdays, which have been disastrous in the ratings for CBS this fall.
There are several different considerations for CBS, including where it will likely get the most viewers, where it could earn the most ad revenue and where it could most hurt the competition, Moonves said.
"Do you go after NBC's Thursday night?" he asked. "Or do you go where it did very well in the summer? These are all questions that we are struggling with right now."
Airing it on Thursday night might allow CBS to crack into the lucrative ad market for movies — which studios like to buy close to the weekend — but it would mean bucking NBC's long track record that night.

Volleyball team looks ahead to next season

Spearheading Kansas' 2001 volleyball effort will be one heavy-hitting idea. positivity.
The Jayhawks finished the 2000 season with a 15-14 record. That winning effort, coupled with the 17-14 finish of 1999, marks the first time the team has had back-to-back winning seasons since the 1992 and 1993 seasons.
"I think nobody expected us to come out and win a lot of matches, but we did have a lot of quality players," said Nancy Bell, senior outside hitter.
The Jayhawks lost 1999 Big
12 Conference first team
selection Amanda Reves and
Mary Beth Albrecht, who is
second in career kills behind
"This year was a similar situation to how next year will be," said Amy Mytay, senior outside hitter. "They will have some big shoes to fill, and I think they can do that."
Myatt left the biggest footprint on the 2000 Jayhawks, finishing fourth in the Big 12 in kills per game with 4.65, and broke Kansas' season kills record with 457 kills.
Reves. With the loss of Albrecht and Reves, the 2000 team spent most of its season gaining respect from Big 12 coaches and players.
"Amy really put together one solid season," said coach Ray Bechard. "I am very proud of her hard work and all of her accomplishments during her career at KU."

As for Bechard's feelings on this his 2000 team, he is — in a
"As a volleyball team, we are headed in a positive direction, and the seniors' contributions to this program are immeasurable," Bechard said. However, Kansas' hopes to break into the top half of the conference were foiled as the 'Hawks coasted to a ninthplace finish. The top six teams in the conference earned an NCAA tournament bid.
"We were hoping for more as far as the Big 12 standings are concerned," Bechard said. "But it's a credit to the toughness of this conference that six teams made it into the tournament."
With only one senior in 2001 -- setter Molly LaMere -- the Hawks will once again find themselves rebuilding and replacing the void left by
Myatt and Bell, as well as middle
Myatt blocker Danielle
Geronymy and outside hitter
Sara Kidd. In 2001, competition
for court spots may be
stiffer than in years past.
"Last year at this time, you knew that certain people were going to be on the court." Bechard said. "But this spring, there's going to be a lot of playing time to compete for. The determining factor will be who will be the dependable teammate."

With his heavily favored Jayhawks leading Middle Tennessee State last night by just four points in the final six minutes of the first half. Kansas coach Roy Williams decided to throw in the towel.
Not literally, but when Williams threw a hand towel in disguist at his Jayhawks, he sparked a 16-4 run sandwiched around halftime, which would erase the tension in a 92-66 Kansas victory.
"He was not disappointed in our effort, and our offense wasn't very good at all," said sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich.
The narrow first-half lead had as much to do with Kansas' lack of execution as the Blue Raiders' overachieving. The sloppy Jayhawks (6-0) committed 12 first-half turnovers and had problems running the plays Williams called in from the sideline.
"One of the things we've talked about was executing whatever was called, both offensively and defensively," Williams said. "You're going to have mistakes in a game. But when you start
we are going to have mistakes in a playing in the kinds of games were going to play down the line, you've got to be disciplined enough to do what we're supposed to do."
Senior forward Luke Axtell said his team responded well to the toulot toss.

Williams would calm down in time to see his team put away the Blue Raiders with, once again, timely scoring and a hefty rebound advantage. After leading by 17 at the intermission, the Jayhawks would stretch their lead to as large as 33 points, thanks, in part, to a run sparked by junior guard Jeff Boschee and sophomore forward Nick Collison and a rebound total that nearly doubled that of the Blue Raiders.
"He's not just going to get mad about nothing." Axtell said. "But we came back in the second half, and we were able to execute."
Middle Tennessee State coach Randy Wiel said he wasn't surprised by the Jawhaws' balanced attack.
The Jayhawks relied on a balanced scoring attack all seven Jayhawks that played more than 18 minutes wound up with double-digit point totals.
"If you get down in the game, Kansas will put it away," said Wiel, whose team lost to the Jayhawks for the second consecutive year. "Some teams let you back in the game, but Kansas is a much more mature team than what I saw last year. The only way you can beat them is to play above their level, which is very hard to do."
Kansas has defeated its last four opponents by at least 25 points. The last time the 'Hawks ran off such a blowout streak was in 1997 when Kansas started the streak by drilling George Washington by 29 points and finished the hot streak by demolishing Brown 107-49.

Game to test injury-riddled women's team

After suffering its first loss of the season on Saturday and finishing third in the Lady Blazer Classic in Birmingham, Ala., the Kansas women's basketball team has a chance at redemption against Illinois at 7:05 tonight in Allen Fieldhouse.
But that may be easier said than done. The 'Hawks, 3-1, returned to Lawrence battered and bruised after playing three games in six days on the road.
Two starters, senior guard Jennifer Jackson and junior center Nikki White, suffered injuries to their faces in the past
week.
Jackson went head-to-head with a Louisiana-Monroe player in the Jayhawks' win in the consolation game of the Classic on Sunday. The collision sent Jackson to the bench for the rest of the game, even though she wanted to get back in it.
Jackson said that such collisions came with the territory.
"We had a little bit of a collision, and a black eye is no big deal," she said.
Jackson had X-rays yesterday morning that revealed no broken bones. She said her vision was close to 100 percent. She was kept out of contact drills in yesterday's practice but said she would be ready to go tonight.

White's injury was much stranger. Washington said that the team was doing transition work before Saturday's loss against Alabama-Birmingham when senior forward Jaclyn Johnson caught the ball, spun and caught White right in the nose with an elbow. The elbow broke White's nose and spit the bridge open.
said the Jayhawks played well, going 2-1 on the road trip.
Despite those two injuries. Washington
"With all that, they did a pretty good job." Washington said. "But trying to get ready for this next game is going to be a big challenge."
Washington said White continued to have headaches and was questionable for tonight's game. Without White in the middle, the 'Hawks will have to depend on juniors Kristin Geoffroy and Dalchon Brown.
Geoffroy has averaged eight points in just 18 minutes per game this season and will see her playing time increase dramatically. Brown will likely come off the bench.
Club members earn belts, learn art of tae kwon do

The Kansas Tae Kwon Do Club combines competitive and recreational elements of an ancient Eastern sport three times a week at Robinson Center.

EL KWON DO
PARK
The club, which has 30 members, competes in three tae kwon do tournaments a semester. The group traveled to Kansas City, Mo.; St. Joseph, Mo.; and Omaha, Neb., for competitions in sparring and forms categories.
Sparring entails fights between competitors, and forms are prearranged fight sequences.
The judges are responsible for rating the forms competitors on the categories of control, efficiency, intensity, power and technique.
Shaun Boyd, Kansas City, Kan., junior and club president, attributed the popularity of the martial art to modern American culture.
Six club members won events at the most recent meet in St. Joseph.
"The stuff we do is more of what you would see in the movies," Boyd said. "It is more feet than hands."

"I've been doing tae kwon do since I was 12, and it
is a pretty hard martial art." Bovd said.

"A belt is just a belt," Boyd said. "My goal is to make myself better."
Even though Boyd has the elite status of being a second-degree black belt, he said the belt alone did not speak for his martial art standing.
Boyd said he planned on increasing his belt status by taking more tests, but he wanted to learn as much as he could about the sport, regardless of his belt status.
Amy Kuhn, Coldwater senior, is in her third year with the club. She competes with the team in its tournaments, and said she had grown to appreciate the club while earning a brown belt.
Other members of the club said they enjoyed the competition but also found other benefits to the club.
"It is a really good stress reliever, a great form of exercise and a way to improve self-defense," Kuhn said.
The University also offers a one-credit elective course in tae kwon do, which often serves as a gateway for members who join the club.

Battlebots may be a menace to society and freshmen
True or False: I have watched the television show *BattleRots*.
True or False: After watching the show, I have thought about building and assembling my own BattleBot.
Sorry for the little exam two weeks before finals, but I just had to find out exactly what level this whole BattleBots craze has ascended to.
If you haven't seen the show or didn't even know it existed, let me get you up to speed before I move on. BattleBots is on every Wednesday night on Comedy Central, and they replay it every Saturday afternoon.
The gist of the show is that two robots, which usually have all kinds of metal spikes sticking out from them, duke it out in an enclosed ring while two less-than-normal guys operate the robots with remote controls behind a glass window.
So it's easy to see why this show is such a hit.
Meanwhile, scantily clad ladies are routinely shown in the crowd holding up signs with the names of their favorite robots, while the rest of the crowd is made up of guys you would normally see at a Star Trek convention.
Think about it. If people are actually watching this show on a regular basis, it won't be long before they begin to think that they can build and assemble their own BattleBot.
Well, "hit" may be stretching it, but Comedy Central seems to be sticking with it. I've watched the show on a couple of occasions and came away terribly vexed. Is it supposed to be funny? Is it supposed to be serious? Will this show soon cause the downfall of civilization?
It's human nature. You see a mechanical robot that whips around a seveninch spike in a circular motion at an alarming speed, and automatically you want to figure out how you can build one. too.
This worries me. Just think about what would happen if this craze suddenly spread like wildfire around campus. Imagine that some poor freshman kid is walking home south from Watson Library. At the same time, two seniors are walking north toward Watson Library, all the while testing out their recently constructed robot, equipped with 14 miniature chainsaws. Yeah, that scenario has front page of the Kansan written all over it.
So, for the safety of those on campus and for the well-being of all freshmen, I have taken the liberty to look up some safety guidelines on the official BattleBot Web site. The site warns readers that, "Building BattleBots is dangerous. Don't build them or operate them unless you are qualified to do so, or supervised by a qualified adult."
Intriguingly, I witnessed a 10-year-old boy operating a BattleBot during Saturday's show, and I must say the adult looked less than qualified.
Terribly vexed, indeed.
In all honesty, the official BattleBots Web site spent a great deal of time delving into other safety specifics. I didn't really put a lot of time and effort into reading those particular specifics, but I'm sure all the basics were there
— don't stick your eye into any metal spikes, don't control your BattleBot while in the nude, don't stare directly at your BattleBot, don't let your child ride on your BattleBot for more than three minutes unattended.
Laugh all you want. Go ahead. Build and operate your own BattleBot. What do I care? But believe me, it's all fun and games until somebody loses a toe.

A KU freshman woman was raped early Nov. 21 in her Oliver Hall room, bringing the number of rapes on campus this year to three, the KU Public Safety Office said yesterday.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said the female resident was sleeping in her seventh-floor room and woke with a male acquaintance lying next to her in bed. She confronte him, and he left the room, Mailen said.
Mailen would not say whether the door was locked or unlocked, but the police report indicated that there was no forced entry by the assailant. Mailen said that alcohol was a major
Mailen said that alcohol was a major contributing factor in the acquaintance rape.
"It is important to know that smart decisions are hampered by the use of alcohol." he said.
The crime still is being investigated, Mailen said, and no others details were available yesterday.
This marks the second rape on campus this semester and the third for the year 2000 - up from one each in 1998 and 1999. The first rape this semester occurred near the Campanile in August.
The Nov. 21 rape also marks the third sex crime reported on campus this semester and the second in the residence halls. The other sex crime that occurred in a residence hall was a sexual battery that took place Aug. 31 as a freshman woman was sleeping in the sixth-floor lobby.
Lateasha Barnes, Wichita freshman, and seventh-floor resident of Oliver Hall, said that hearing about the rape made her feel uncomfortable.
"I didn't even know," Barnes said. "They didn't discuss it or anything."
Another seventh-floor resident who asked to remain anonymous said that she had heard about it but didn't think she needed to know unless the victim wanted to talk about it.
"I have a right to know that it happened to somebody on my floor," she said. "But I don't think I need to know the details."

GTAs request higher pay better benefits in contract

Kansan staff writer
Graduate teaching assistants at the University of Kansas have presented proposals to the University for better health care, better salaries and better benefits.
They now are waiting for counterproposals from the University, but the process may continue well into next semester, said Ophra Leyser, president of the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition.
"Some things we're asking for are new. Some are expansions on benefits that we got in the last contract," Leyser said. "The main gist of why we're working on the contract is that we want to improve teaching conditions at the University of Kansas. It affects both teachers and the undergraduates we're teaching.
Leyser said she could not discuss the specifics of the proposals, but said GTAC was looking into many policy issues in the negotiations.
GTA CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS
What happened: The Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition submitted proposals to a team of University administrators for better salaries, better health care and better benefits.
What does it mean? Graduate teaching assistants are asking for better benefits in the unionized contract, which are renewed every three years. The current contract expires at the end of this year.
What's next: A team of University administrators will review GTAC's proposals and may submit counterproposals. The process could last well into next semester.
Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said she could not comment on the negotiations

Students to receive grades via University e-mail addresses
By Jennifer Valadez
Kansan staff writer
Most students at the University of Kansas will receive their fall grades via e-mail instead of U.S. mail at the end of the semester.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost, posted an e-mail on several of the University listersvs saying that e-mailing grades would "improve the speed of delivery and will be more cost effective" than regular mail.
Bob Turvey, associate registrar, said that the cost of postage to send out
grades was about $25,000, and that by e-mailing them, that cost would decrease by two-thirds.
However, in order to receive their e-mailled grades, students must have e-mail addresses registered with the University. In her e-mail, McCluskey-Fawcett urged faculty to encourage students to register by Friday.
If a student does not have an account registered with KU, he or she still will receive grades by U.S. mail.
Students do not need a KU e-mail address to receive their grades electronically. They can register e-mail addresses with other servers, such as
KU E-MAIL ACCOUNTS
To register an e-mail account with the University:
Go to www.ukans.edu/computing/services.

- To receive fall grades by e-mail, students should register by Friday.

be convenient because I'll be able to check my grades from wherever I'm at and won't have to wait for the mail."
"There are hackers that can tap into e-mail, so it might not be the best idea," she said.
Maya Tillman, Hutchinson junior, said hackers posed a potential problem.
"We have security issues in postal mail mail because of bad addresses, so there are security concerns of all types," he said. "The KU account has more secu
riity because the server is internal and we have control over it."
Turvey said students would not be inconvenienced by not having a University e-mail address.
"If they want to sign up, they can do it immediately, but we will mail the grades via paper," he said. "They will still get nothing less than before."
Turvey encouraged students to register an e-mail account with the University because of e-mail's increasing popularity.

Protesters to gather for WTO opposition
SEATTLE — The World Trade Organization meeting that collapsed in clouds of tear gas a year ago is being marked by activists this week in Seattle.
The violent anti-WTO street protests that overwhelmed police on Nov. 30, 1999 left Seattle scarred, even as it strengthened a growing movement against corporate globalization.
To mark the one-year anniversary, some 5,000 activists are expected to gather tomorrow for "N30," the

That number is a fraction of the 50,000 protesters who showed up last year, bent on blocking streets and shutting down the WTO meeting.

pulled from shelves.
WASHINGTON — The maker of a new treatment for women's irritable bowel syndrome pulled the drug Lotronex off the market yesterday after it was linked to a growing number of deaths and hospitalizations.
The withdrawal comes just nine months after Lotronex began selling with great fanfare, and it becomes the seventh banned drug the increasingly embattled Food and Drug Administration has had to deal with in two and a half years.
The problem: Lotronen can cause severe side effects, including a life-threatening intestinal inflammation called ischemic colitis, and constipation so severe that some patients needed parts of their intestines surgically removed.

Negotiations underway for new GTA contract
Continued from page 1A
any further than to say that they were underway and that a new contract was being negotiated because the current three-year contract was in its third year.
"With any labor agreement, you meet and confer for a new contract." Bretz said.
Leyser said GTAC had met with the a team from University administration about once every two weeks since late September. So far, the two groups have agreed on minor changes to the contract, but Leyser said a resolution on the bigger issues might be more complicated.
"It always requires discussion," Leyser said. "Sometimes we present counter-proposals to their counter-proposals."
All graduate teaching assistants in Kansas are under the same contract, Leyser said, which is up for review every three years. This does not mean
that each of the 1,000 GTAs at the University must teach for three years. GTAs can teach for as little as one semester. Instead, the unionized contract covers the policies GTAs must follow and the benefits they receive.
GTAC worked with its 200 members and with non-members to determine what the GTAs want. They have also worked with the Kansas Authority of Public Employees and the American Federation of Teachers to understand union processes and find out more about how to complete the negotiations.
Edited by Brandon Stinnett
Because Kansas is a right-to-work state, Leyser said, GTAs get the contract's benefits regardless of whether they are union members. Many states do not work this way. These "fair share states" require GTAs to be union members to receive benefits.

Holy month gives time to reflect on faith

Yesterday was the second day of Ramadan, a month-long Muslim observance of fasting during dawnlight hours. Photo by Jamie Roper/KANSAN
When Asma Rehman woke up at 5 a.m. yesterday, she had a bowl of cereal and said her first praver of the day.
Rehman, a sophomore from Kansas City, Kan., started celebrating the Islamic holiday Ramadan, a month of fasting, on Monday.
But it's not something Rehman dreads.
The fast lasts 30 days, to represent the 30 chapters of the Koran received by the prophet Mohammed. The fast requires that no food or water enter the body between sumup and sundown.
"It's so, so great. It's a time of the year when everybody gets together," she said. "I don't think it's about starving yourself. You're giving something for the sake of God."
It's a time to learn self-control and patience, added Aisha Chaudhri, an Overland Park freshman, and a time to reflect on life and understand the struggles of other people.
Five prayers during the day allow students like Rehman and Chaudhri to engage in such reflection.
Rehman said that after her first prayer at sunrise, she had the option of either sleeping for a few more hours or getting on with her day. The second prayer is at noon and then there is another around 3 p.m.
She breaks her fast after the sun sets with water, salt or a date — a practice called sunnah — because that is how Mohammed broke
his fast.
Then there is another prayer and dinner — last night she had pizza at Mrs. E's — with the fifth prayer around 7 p.m.
Many Muslims go to the mosque to pray,

to do." she said.
"It's hard sometimes, but it's kind of one of those things you wouldn't do unless you wanted to," she said.
Latif said she fasted as a demonstration of her faith.
"For me, it's basically just a choice that shows that I'm willing to follow God's orders," she said.
"When I get hungry — when I'm fasting — I think about 'Well, I have the food, but I'm not eating it right now. Other people don't have the food and don't even have it to look forward to.'" she said.
Chaudhri said Ramadan was not only a fast from food but also from the temptations of procrastination and bad deeds, and it reminded her of those less fortunate.
Chaudhri also views the month as a time to rededicate herself to prayer — something she occasionally misses during the year.
"In Ramadan, I make every single prayer," she said. "This is like a month of getting yourself into this and getting yourself started and hoping you can keep it up throughout the whole rest of your life."
And although Muslims hope their rejuvenated faith lasts after Ramadan, the fast ends with the coming of Eid.
Eid symbolizes the completion of the Koran, Chaudhri said, and it's a day when fasting is prohibited and families gather to celebrate and feast.

Fate of housing ordinance to be discussed at hearing
By Matt Merkel-Hess writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The City Commission will decide before winter break whether to pursue a proposed housing ordinance that would reduce the number of unrelated people who can live in single-family neighborhoods from four to two.
The first hearing will occur during the commission meeting Tuesday, Dec. 12. The planning commission, an advisory body to the city commission, voted against the proposal earlier this month.
"We've had ample opportunity for all perspectives," said Mayor Jim Henry.
The commissioners said they did not want to have the hearing during finals or winter break because they wanted student input, but they wanted to start the process.
To make an ordinance, the commission must have a hearing, direct city staff to create an ordinance and conduct a final hearing. After the December hearing, a final hearing could occur after the spring semester begins.
"If there's 100 people waiting to speak, they'll enforce the three minute limit," Wildgen said.
Mike Wilden, city manager, said the planning commission hearing was the public hearing for the issue, but the commission would take new information and limit each speaker to three minutes. He encouraged anyone to submit written material that could be distributed to the commissioners.
Arly Allen is a neighborhood activist who supports limiting the number of

unrelated people who can rent in singlefamily neighborhoods. He said he was surprised the commission decided to have a hearing so soon. He also questioned setting the hearing date without notifying the public.
"After having said they will not take this up until after the winter break and then making the statement to reverse themselves without letting anyone know they were thinking about this — it's just what we would expect, I guess," Allen said. "I think the City Commission needs to investigate it even more thoroughly than they have done."
Aravind Muthukrishnan, Student Legislative Advisory Board issues and research coordinator, said he hoped as many students would show up for hearing on Dec. 12 as they did for the planning Commission meeting.
"Obviously our main concern is we didn't want the hearing to occur over break when students aren't here and their voices can't be heard," he said. "I don't foresee this to be a huge problem because it happens before finals."

Control of University budget could mean equal pay raises
By Jason Krall
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
By Jason Krall
At a meeting of the Unclassified Professional Staff Association (UPSA), Klim Wilcox, executive director of the Kansas Board of Regents, said members would have more influence with legislators regarding campus-based control of tuition dollars. Members do not have as much influence now because members lobby directly for salary increases. Wilcox asked members to join other campus groups in supporting University-controlled tuition management before the Kansas Legislature.
If the University of Kansas takes control of its own budget process, researchers and administrators would have more pull to increase their salaries, administrators told a group of University professional staff members yesterday.
"You're more effective if you go hand-in-hand with faculty, the chancellor and students, knowing that when it gets back here, you'll be able to help decide what to do with it," Wilcox said.
The association's 700-plus members include University administrators, program and department directors, researchers and other nonteaching faculty. Some members complained last spring when teaching faculty members received a 5.9 percent salary increase, while UPSA members received 2.5 percent. The difference was because of Kansas Senate Bill 345, passed in May 1999, which set aside about $26 million to increase salaries for teaching faculty around the state.
But as long as tuition is funneled through the state budget process, the University won't benefit from increases in its tuition revenue, some of which could be put toward salary increases for UPSA members.
"This is a good issue for you to get behind," Marlin Rein, University director of governmental affairs, told about 30 members who attended the meeting. "The way tuition is handled now, it's
CONTROL OF CAMPUS DOLLARS
**What happened:** Unclassified professional staff members including administrators, researchers and program directors were encouraged by the Kansas Board of Regents to support the effort to give Kansas universities greater control of their own tuition dollars.
What it means: The change, being considered by Gov. Bill Graves, would free up more money in the KU budget to bring unclassified professional staff salary increases up to par with pay increases for teaching faculty.
What's next: The Board of Regents has asked Graves to consider the change for fiscal year 2003.
cally a state resource and not a campus resource." Chancellor Robert Hemenway and the Board of Regents have encouraged Gov. Bill Graves to allow universities to manage their own tuition and to give state aid in the form of block grants with few restrictions. Hemenway and the board asked that the change be made for fiscal year 2003. Wilcox said Graves had expressed that he was open to the idea.
Now, when tuition revenue increases in a given year, the state reduces its aid and the University budget does not grow, Wilcox said. That means KU students wind up supporting other state expenses with their tuition, while state money goes to other projects.
"It's the students here at KU who end up funding more and more of the cost of their education," he said.
Sandra Wick, president of UPSA and associate director of the University Honors Program, said it was too early to tell whether UPSA members would throw support behind the issue. The association's executive committee will discuss the issue at its December meeting.

Editorial board: Election provides true test for democracy
Election 2000 debacle teaches valuable lesson
The rest of the world must find our electoral mess an amusing predicament. After all, for years we've lectured the world on how to run
a real democracy, and it now seems as if we're failing in that endeavor. It would be more than amusing if this were true. It would be frightening if we were losing our grasp on the democratic process, but we are not.
This mess in Florida is democracy in action, like it or not. Under the circumstances, this event has been good for the country.
First, more than ever, voting actually mattered in this election — in Florida and elsewhere. If a few thousand Gore or Bush voters turned out in certain states, this election would be completed, and the Florida question would be moot.
Second, the election has raised important constitutional issues regarding the relevancy of the Electoral College in a modern democracy and has provided a rare opportunity to examine and improve our voting practices.
But perhaps, most importantly, is the ongoing civics lesson of the presidential election. Every newspaper, radio station and television station across the country is providing in-depth coverage and analysis of each day's events. As a result, the public is becoming more actively engaged in the political process and intimately familiar with how government works.
However, some voters claim they are more disgusted with politics now, and they won't vote again. Why? Is it because it was a close race, because both sides are fighting for the presidency? If some people cower away from the voting booth in the future, that is a shame, but nothing is stopping them from voting. In the meantime, it's crucial that the contest go on so those who chose to vote will have their vote actually counted.
We are working toward resolving the conflict in a democratic way. In a truly unstable democracy, the streets of Florida would be surging with violent mobs and soldiers would be dispatched, not lawyers. The lawyers will fight to balance the will of the people as expressed on the ballots with the rule of law that upholds our democratic institutions.
In the end, we will have a president who will experience a bloodless transition of power. Let both
sides fight it out in a court of law, and watch the system at work.

Electoral turmoil mars American democracy

DEMOCRACY
ELECTORAL COLLEGE
Whether the Florida situation is good for democracy is determined by whether it was fair and democratic. Clearly, the Florida recount was bad for democracy because it opened the doors to allow scrutiny and nit-picking in future elections. Is this the type of example we want to set for the young voters of the future?
A vote is supposed to support and symbolize the American principle of fair representation. Your ballot is your choice, and every vote counts. Sure, the margin of victory for Bush in Florida was razor thin, but what about Oregon and New Mexico? While the results in those states still aren't clear, it won't even matter who won those state's—all that mattered were Florida's electoral votes. What a great day to be a voter in Oregon or New Mexico, knowing that your vote is useless. You can blame the media or the system, but either way, the Florida recount rendered those states' votes impotent.
Another problem that enraged many voters was the controversy about whether overseas ballots were counted. What a slap in the face it must be to American servicemen whose votes wouldn't count in a recount because of a missing postmark. If they were counted, the around-the-clock analysis of dimples, chads, indenta-
So many parts of this election were supposed to appeal to America's youth, especially with the Internet, MTV appearances and col-
tions or drol marks was embarrassing and is not how an election is to be handled. It must make anyone in America wonder if his or her vote actually made it into the statistics.

Although columnists get the chance to spout their thoughts to the campus, they run the risk that some readers will, to put it mildly, disagree.

Debating with fellow students is a bonus, if you like that kind of thing. Just expect to have Student Senate and University administration upset with you on a regular basis.
If people don't want to be a columnist, they usually want to be a sportswriter. After all, they seem as if they have the most fun. You get to watch sporting events from great seats, not to mention hanging out in the locker room. If you plan on writing a sports column, be careful what you say. As one of our former
sportswriters discovered, Dick Vitale does read the Kansan.
If you're more visual than verbal, you might give designing a try. This is for you artsy types. If you can draw, we love you. Some pages give you more creative freedom than others. You can't always be the artist you know you are, but learning how to distort people's faces in PhotoShop sure is fun.
Moviegoers and music-junkies should think about writing for Jayplay. Instead of writing academic term papers, you get to write about entertaining things. Food reviews (sometimes including beer) mean free food and drink. After all the sitting and eating, you might want to spend a few extra minutes on the treadmill, though.
Writing for special sections is a great way to get involved without a huge commitment. You only have deadlines a couple of times a semester. Since Sex on the Hill ran this semester, you're spared from interviewing students about sex toys and masturbation. Some of you, though, may feel as if you're missing out. There's always next fall.

but they didn't think about you as a whole human being with emotion and intellect."
John Lewis, one of the group's co-founders who now works as a consultant for students with cognitive disabilities in Kansas City. Mo., said he had experienced more direct prejudice. He recalled seeking help on an assignment from his professor in a computer science class where he was the only Black.
"Some students had problems understanding the book, so he told us to come to his office for help." Lewis said. "Everyone else got their help, but when I went in, he suggested that maybe I take a reading and comprehension class. I withdrew from the class."
Cory Anderson, another Black Men of Today cofounder who is now an advocate for low-income children in Little Rock, Ark, said the lack of support for Black students was the deeper problem.
"You didn't have anyone to study with or bounce things off of, and those things translated into low retention rates," Anderson said.
Providing that support was a driving force behind Black Men of Today, Fulcher said. It evolved from a think tank for discussing national issues Black men faced — such as crime statistics and negative images portrayed in the media — to focusing on the Black KU experience.
The natural next step was examining minority recruitment and retention, he said.
David Ambler, vice chancellor for student affairs, said Black Men of Today's activist methods had forced the issue to the forefront of the campus conscience.
other concerns about discrimination.
Each member of Black Men of Today brought a different talent to the group, and Fulcher's contribution was political skill. Anderson recalled.
"They rattled our cage, and appropriately so." Ambler said. "The University needed to look beyond its rhetoric, and by having a group of people on the Strong Hall steps and filling the rotunda, I think they put some pressure on us that needed to be there. The University wasn't doing all it could to improve the number of minority students on campus."
"He tried to think of ways to bridge the gaps with other organizations and be inclusive," he said. "He tended to be a liaison for us."
Fellow Black Men of Today members said Fulcher had won the presidency by using his skill in bringing people together. That bridge-building jelled one year before his election at a Strong Hall protest that began with demands that KU address minority issues and ended with students from all over campus voicing
The moment of truth
Those bridges lifted Fulcher to victory in the 1991 Student Senate elections when he won with 59 percent of the votes. He said he hadn't thought about being the first Black to win the presidency in a year when 678 Black students made up a mere 2.5 percent of the student body.
"I had just won," he said. "Black, white, purple or green, I just won."
But Anderson said Fulcher's victory had been a historic feat.
"It was impossible before for a Black man to win, but it was also impossible for an independent student to win," Anderson said. "You've got to have the White greek vote to win."
All hell breaks loose
Fulcher says he's never talked about the incident that ended his career in student politics since it happened. What he termed a "terrible mistake" that he made two months before he ran for president sparked a semester-long storm of controversy.
Fulcher got into an argument on Feb. 11, 1991, with his former girlfriend, KU student Audra Glavas. The quarrel turned violent when Fulcher struck Glavas in the face. He was arrested for battery and later entered into a diversion agreement, which included paying Glavas more than $400 restitution for dental expenses to repair injuries.
The University Daily Kansan learned of the incident that summer, when the Douglas County District Attorney filed a motion to revoke Fulcher's diversion because he had failed to make a monthly diversion payment.
By the time the paper was ready to run the story, the editor decided against it because Fulcher had made his payment and the motion was dismissed.

By the start of the Fall semester, though, rumors swirled around campus about the incident and the fall Kansan editor decided to report it.
The first articles were published on the second day of classes, initiating what then 'Kansan' editor Holly Lawton called a four-month nightmare.

Blaine Kimrey, the Kansan reporter covering Student Senate who is now a lawyer in Kansas City, Mo., said Fulcher's race didn't seem relevant to him until the story ran. But with that first story, he said, "all hell broke loose."

The coalitions Fulcher had established between different groups dissolved. Black students accused the Kansan of a racist witch hunt. Women's groups were angry at Fulcher and called for his resignation. One Women's Student Union leader, who was a senator elected on Fulcher's coalition, told the Kansan she felt deceived.

Fulcher said, "They were angry, rightfully so. But the issues I ran on I still stood for. I just made a mistake. I thought that some people were using this for their own political gain, and I was embarrassed that my dirty laundry was aired."
Senate passed two resolutions calling for his resignation. The second and binding decision came Sept. 11 by a 42-19 vote, but Fulcher fought it by appealing to the University Judicial Board. The appeal stayed his removal until the board upheld Senate's decision on Dec. 4.
Kimrey said heated Senate meetings leading up to his removal vote lasted into the early hours of the morning.
"Senate meetings are kind of excruciating inherently, so you can imagine meetings that are six to seven hours long," Kimrey said. "It was brutal. There was an incredible division. People were very upset and incredibly tortured over making that decision."
Fulcher maintains he handled the situation the best way he knew how.
"I spoke with her father and mother after the incident, and facing her father and mother was a lot tougher than dealing with anyone else." Pulcher said.
While Fulcher said that race might have been one factor in his removal from office, Lewis said it made the story bigger.
"It wasn't just because he was Black, but that he was the
first Black student body president made him an easy, bigger target." Lewis said.
Lawton, the editor, said Fulcher had always been professional with her, but his supporters had blamed the Kansan. Students angry with coverage dumped newspapers on the newsroom floor, calling the newspaper trash. Some burned Kansans outside Stauffer-Flint Hall. Kimrey recalls a "University Daily Klansman" banner displayed on campus.
"It's painful to have a whole bunch of people angry at you," recalled Lawton, now a Kansas City Star sports editor. "The whole country was hearing the story. CNN was shining their lights in our faces, and every state newspaper was covering it. And here we all are, 21 years old, trying to deal with this."
Fulcher avoided social events and stayed away from his apartment where his phone rang off the hook.
"To have television cameras follow you to and from class, it was an event," he said.

Darren Fulcher addresses members of Student Senate who were considering a resolution to remove him from office of student body president in 1991. The proposal was a reaction to the news that he had hit his ex-girlfriend, causing
injuries that required more than $400 of corrective dental work, prior to his election. The meeting continued all night into the early hours of the morning. Photo courtesy of Julie Jacobson

but they didn't think about you as a whole human being with emotion and intellect."
John Lewis, one of the group's co-founders who now works as a consultant for students with cognitive disabilities in Kansas City, Mo., said he had experienced more direct prejudice. He recalled seeking help on an assignment from his professor in a computer science class where he was the only Black.
"Some students had problems understanding the book, so he told us to come to his office for help." Lewis said. "Everyone else got their help, but when I went in, he suggested that maybe I take a reading and comprehension class. I withdrew from the class."
I will do my best.
Cory Anderson, another Black Men of Today cofounder who is now an advocate for low-income children in Little Rock, Ark., said the lack of support for Black students was the deeper problem.
"You didn't have anyone to study with or bounce things off of, and those things translated into low retention rates." Anderson said.
Providing that support was a driving force behind Black Men of Today, Fulcher said. It evolved from a think tank for discussing national issues Black men faced — such as crime statistics and negative images portrayed in the media — to focusing on the Black KU experience.
The natural next step was examining minority recruitment and retention, he said.
David Amber, vice chancellor for student affairs, said Black Men of Today's activist methods had forced the issue to the forefront of the campus conscience.
"They rattled our cage, and appropriately so." Amber said. "The University needed to look beyond its rhetoric, and by having a group of people on the Strong Hall steps and filling the rotunda, I think they put some pressure on us that needed to be there. The University wasn't doing all it could to improve the number of minority students on campus."
other concerns about discrimination.
Each member of Black Men of Today brought a different talent to the group, and Fulcher's contribution was political skill. Anderson recalled.
"He tried to think of ways to bridge the gaps with other organizations and be inclusive," he said. "He tended to be a liaison for us."
Fellow Black Men of Today members said Fulcher had won the presidency by using his skill in bringing people together. That bridge-building jelled one year before his election at a Strong Hall protest that began with demands that KU address minority issues and ended with students from all over campus voicing
The moment of truth
Those bridges lifted Fulcher to victory in the 1991 Student Senate elections when he won with 59 percent of the votes. He said he hadn't thought about being the first Black to win the presidency in a year when 678 Black students made up a mere 2.5 percent of the student body.
"I had just won," he said. "Black, white, purple or green. I just won."
But Anderson said Fulcher's victory had been a historic feat.
"It was impossible before for a Black man to win, but it was also impossible for an independent student to win," Anderson said. "You've got to have the White greek vote to win."

"I guess one of the hardest parts for me was to ask the Student Senate leaders if Darren had been a White boy from Johnson County, would they have been taking the same attitude and approach," Amber said. "It was my way to say that they needed to examine their consciences and see if there was any suble racism at work or if they had legitimate reasons for removing him from office."
KU still struggles with low Black enrollment
Continued from page 5A
The storm subsides, the legacy continues
Ambler said he disagreed with
Senate's decision to remove Fulcher.
Fulcher said that after the experience he was ready to move on with his life.
"I looked at it as a learning experience," he said. "I think the irony of it all is, I wanted to bring people together and unfortunately, my being elected may have polarized the student body."
YZK: "Where are all the brothers at?"
Copies of the Kansan aren't burning today, and no one is storming Strong Hall, but little else has changed for Black students. This fall, 680 Black students make up 2.6 percent of KU's enrollment of 25,920, far from mirroring Kansas' 5.8 percent Black population.
Abdul-Kareem Ali, Atlanta senior, said he was taken aback by the lack of Black faces when he first arrived at the University.
"My initial reaction was,
'Where are all the brothers at?' Ali said.
J. R. Roland, Grandview, Mo., senior, and president of the current Black Men
Marlon Marshall, St. Louis senior, exemplifies some progress in KU race relations. The first Black student body vice president since the 1970s, Marshall said race had never become an issue in his campaign.
He said the diverse coalition he had run on last spring, with five Black student senators and two Black Senate executive staff members — Jones and himself — indicated an improved campus racial climate.
"There may have been people out there that had an issue with my being Black, but I never heard anyone say, 'He's Black, I can't vote for him,'" Marshall said.
Ambler said the nonissue of Marshall's race during the elections had demonstrated a climate better than it had ever been during his KU career.
"Until you're put in someone else's shoes, you can read about it, lecture about it, have as many Black friends as you want, but it is a completely different thing to be a Black person living
Points of progress
"No one even really thought about it, whereas when Darren ran, it was on everybody's minds," he said.
Other improvements include the Multicultural Resource Center established in its own building. The Office of Multicultural Affairs was given a higher profile, and it established proof Today, recalled, "I remember the first day I came on campus. It was not until well into the evening when I saw another Black face."

Courtney Bates, Chicago sophomore and president of the Black Student Union, said she was used to being a minority when she got to the University. But being the only Black in class, she notices professors acting differently.

"I'm in a history class now, and when we discussed the end of slavery, the Black codes and Jim Crow laws, I think the teacher felt he had to be more careful because I was right there in the front row," she said. "He would look at me more often than normal during those lectures."
Robert Page, Jr., director of Multicultural Affairs, said Black students were often accustomed to being the only Black face in the crowd because many lived in predominantly White situations their entire lives.
Jermie Jones, Topeka senior, said, "When you're in the dominant culture, you don't see that you have a privilege being White — having people around, having teachers like you, an education system you're used to from the White culture."
Bates added that tolerance had increased, but it still was hard for Whites to understand Black students.
"Until you are put in someone else's shoes, you can read about it, lecture about it, have as many Black friends as you want, but it is a completely different thing to be a Black person living in the U.S." Bates said.
grams like HawkLink and Students Together Excelling in Education as Peers that were meant to improve minority retention.
Although the current members don't practice the same activism as a decade ago, they deal with issues to help members get through life on a White campus, Roland said.
"When a brother gets here, we take them under our wing so he'll stay here and come back next year," he said.
Groups like Black Men of Today also exist to provide support.
The road, and roadblocks, to a more diverse campus
Minority students and administrators alike say that the static Black enrollment from 1991 to 2000 is unacceptable and that better efforts are needed.
The University is not putting enough scholarship money on the table to attract Black students, Bates said.
"Money really is a major factor for a lot of minority students when choosing a school, and without offering more scholarships, more opportunities to come to KU and prosper, we're going to continue to fall behind in numbers," Bates said.
Manny Lopez, former recruiter for the School of Journalism, said recruiting minorities was a top priority, and took a personal touch.
"One of the things that's significantly different with students of color is that a lot of times, choosing a school is a family decision," Lopez said. "You have to get to know the family, talk to the parents and make them feel comfortable that their student will be welcomed and treated well."
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost, said "that's an area we haven't been as active in — getting involved with families and extended families. Frankly, it's just become very clear that's an area we were ignorant about, and that we need to recruit students much more individually."

Ali said the administration should showcase some diversity to attract more Black students.
"They need to put some Black faces on the brochures and fliers they send out; show a little more color diversity on what they send out to potential students," Ali said.
Bates pointed to a gap between what the University was willing to give to National Merit Scholars or athletes and minority students.
"You have to be a National Merit in the top 1 percent of your class or play a sport to get the red carpet treatment." Bates said.
Bates said if KU wanted higher minority numbers, it had to give that red carpet treatment to every potential minority student.
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions and scholarship, said that
Endowment Merit scholarships awarded to minority students ranged from $500 to $2500, but were often combined with other merit and need scholarships. In contrast, National Merit scholarship packages cover tuition and fees and the cost of living in a scholarship hall, a package worth $4,156.25 for Kansas residents and $7,540.25 for nonresidents.
The idea that Darren Fulcher and Black Men of Today expressed a decade ago — Blacks who weren't athletes didn't feel valued — remains at the University. All said.
"A whole lot of money and attention goes toward athletes for doing whatever with a ball," Ali said. "What about students in orchestra? Why not recruit stuff like that, too? We don't just play basketball."

Gore wants speedy recount
The Associated Press
Al Gore sought a speedy hand recount of Florida's contested ballots yesterday to ensure "no question, no cloud" hangs over the nation's 43rd president. After a judge rejected his timetable, Democratic lawyers vowed to appeal and Republicans demanded. "It's time to wrap this up."
As the campaign played out in five separate courtrooms, the vice president sought to accelerate the proceedings to avoid further testing of the public's patience three weeks after Election Day.
"Seven days, starting tomorrow, for a full and accurate count of all the votes," the vice president said shortly after his lawyers asked Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls to order the recount of 13,000 questionable ballots in two Democratic counties
The judge instead scheduled a
"What is wrong with counting the votes?"
Al Gore
Democratic presidential candidate
Saturday hearing and ordered the ballots — along with one or two voting machines — sent to Tallahassee in case he agrees that a recount is needed. Bush's lawyers objected to Gore's timetable, saying they needed time to prepare their case against him.
Gore's advisers were disappointed by the ruling, believing Gore needs good news from the courts in the next two or three days to keep public opinion from turning heavily against him.
Sauls is working against a Tuesday, Dec. 12 deadline for states to assign presidential electors.
"We could count until everybody
is slap-happy, but if no one is on the same page, I don't know what's being accomplished," Sauls said, explaining why he wanted one broad-ranging hearing before considering Gore's recount request.
The political morass stretched to the U.S. Supreme Court, with Bush's lawyers asking the nine justices to bring legal finality to the election by overturning Florida's top court and ending any further recounts. The case has the "potential to change the outcome of the presidential election in Florida, and thus the nation." Bush lawyers said in legal papers.
Gore's legal team argued in its high court brief that the issue "does not belong in federal court." They want the justices to back the Florida Supreme Court, a Democratic-leaning body that extended the deadline for recounts. U.S. Supreme Court oral arguments are set for Friday.
Dutch vote to legalize euthanasia
The Associated Press
THE HAGUE, Netherlands — The Dutch parliament approved a bill legalizing euthanasia yesterday, making the Netherlands the first nation to let doctors openly help suffering patients end their lives.
Advocates of patients' right to die praised the vote, but many Christian groups and others condemned it. The Vatican said the law violated human dignity.
Fending off concerns that the Netherlands could become a haven for patients from abroad seeking to end their lives. Dutch officials stressed that foreigners would be unable to meet strict standards under the law for allowing euthanasia.
"There is no possibility for foreigners to come here for euthanasia," said Wijnand
Stevens of the Justice Ministry.
"The criteria call for a long-term doctor-patient relationship.
They are just too strict for that."
All 100 seats in parliament's public gallery were full for yesterday's vote, during which legislators announced their votes aloud as a Christian party opposed to the bill requested.
After the 104-40 vote in Parliament's lower house, the bill was expected to win approval in the upper house early next year and become law.
With the law, the Netherlands formalized the tolerance it has had for euthanasia — thousands of cases are reported every year here and many more go unreported. In 1993, legislators passed a set of guidelines that doctors could follow to carry out euthanasia and go unprosecuted. Still euthanasia was a crime.
Still, euthanasia was a crime
punishable by up to 12 years in prison. The new legislation largely adopts the informal guidelines, which say the patient must be constantly suffering and know all the medical options.
"Doctors should not be treated as criminals. This will create security for doctors and patients alike," said Health Minister Els Borst, who drafted the bill.
"Something as serious as ending one's life deserves openness," she said after the vote.
Switzerland, Colombia and Belgium tolerate euthanasia. Australia's Northern Territory approved the practice in 1996, but the federal Parliament revoked the law in 1997.
In Oregon, voters approved doctor-assisted suicide for the terminally ill in 1994. Since 1997, 43 people have died there in assisted suicides.

S
Sometimes when Gay Clock picks up the phone, it's Gov. Bill Graves or Sen. Pat Roberts on the line. Kansas
Board of Regents members and state legislators drop by her office unannounced, and angry students have been known to storm in occasionally.
Clock is secretary to Chancellor Robert Hemenway and for anyone looking to meet with the chancellor, the buck stops here in her office.
Taking multi-tasking to new heights, Clock takes a call on her headset, opens an invitation for the chancellor and glances at an e-mail. She goes through one after another until it appears she's doing them all at once.
Every phone call, e-mail or letter to the University's first-in-command zoes through Clock.
And whether you're a lawmaker dealing with University issues in the legislature, a faculty member or a student with a beef, if you want to see the chancellor, you'll need to make an appointment with her.
There are a few exceptions, however. Clock has to be aware of which campus issues are the chancellor's top priorities so she knows which calls he needs to be interrupted to take.
Those top priorities include calls from the governor and the senator. Clock said.
"When some of those people call, you just find him," she said. "He wants to talk to everybody, but part of the transition to the job was learning what his ton priorities were."
Her job sometimes includes calming the angry students who storm into the chancellor's office demanding that he address their problems.
"There really are procedures and policies that address student's problems," Clock said. "But sometimes people get frustrated and say I'm going right to the top.' I usually tell them to go through the channels and if you still don't get it resolved, come back."
Clock remembers one time a large group of students was rumored to have been planning to go to the chancellor's office in Strong Hall to address an unknown topic. The confrontation never happened, but Clock remembers that the rumors flying that day created a tense atmosphere.
"I knew it had happened in the past. I'd heard some stories," she said.
Right- Hand Woman
Whether the chancellor is in his office, somewhere on campus, at the University of Kansas Medical Center in Kansas City, or in Topeka working with legislators, Clock's pace rarely slows. Most people hoping to reach him don't know his schedule, so they tend to call as often when he's in as when he's away. Clock said.
Gay Clock keeps a level head while she helps the chancellor juggle his University duties
"It's not necessarily slow when he's not here — it just seems a little less hectic and a little quieter," she said. "But the minute he walks in the door, the phone starts ringing. People must intuitively know when he's here."
Each morning, Clock meets with Hemenway to review his schedule for the day. She informs him of last-minute changes. Each day the stack of mail includes a handful of invitations to various events and meetings, which Clock sorts through to find events the chancellor might want to attend.
Hemenway sees about one student per week on average, Clock estimated. Some are looking for a resolution to a dispute about a fee or a grade, others are seeking advice, and some are his own students.
After raising three children in Lawrence with her husband Rick, a minister at University Christian Fellowship, Clock joined the School of Business as a secretary in 1994. She moved to the chancellor's office two and a half years ago during the quiet month of June, which gave her a chance to settle in to the new job.
"She always has something on her plate, but she's level-headed and really well-respected in the office," said Pittman, who also participated in a Bible study that Clock led at the fellowship last spring. "She never falls to be completely kind. She's one of the most consistent people I know."
Jill Pittman, Haskell, Okla., junior, works with Clock as a student-employee answering phones in the chancellor's office. Pittman says Clock manages the dizzying flow of correspondence through the office with grace.
Mary Burg, executive assistant to the chancellor, works closely with Clock.
"I think where Gay really excels is she is very calm regardless of all the balls she's juggling, whatever crisis du jour we're dealing with," Burg said. "She doesn't get ruffled, and she's surrounded by people who are ruffled. And the fact that she's not allows her to solve problems that come up."
Her duty to manage the chancellor's schedule makes Clock the only person on campus from whom Hemenway takes orders, Burg said.
"It's a job where you've got to be able to tell the chancellor what to do." Burg said. "She's got to boss him around a little and there aren't a lot of people comfortable doing that. That's a thankless part of the job. Everyone wants all the time that he'll give them, and he'll give them all the time he has, but it's up to Gay to blow the whistle so he isn't late for whatever's next."

A day with Gay
A typical day at work for Gay Clock, secretary to Chancellor Robert Hemenway:
9 a.m. (sometimes earlier): Clock and Hemenway meet in his office to discuss Hemenway's schedule for the day, including last-minute additions and late invitations in events around campus.
Mid-morning: Clock manages the incoming flow of calls and e-mails coming through the chancellor's office. Clock says she takes in many as 50 or 60 calls in a day.
After lunch: Clock tackles the intimidating pile of mail, looking for invitations and letters. Did what is mostly junk mail.
Mid-afternoon: Coaxing the chancellor in and out of meetings that usually run long Clock may take a call from a legislator member of the Kansas Board of Regents or even Gov Bill Graves. She also schedules appointments for students and faculty who come to the office hoping to speak with Hemenway

Assistant football coach resigns
By Jason Franchuk sports@kansan.com Konson sportswriter
Another disappointing season has left the Kansas football program searching to fill positions on its coaching staff. First, head coach Terry Allen fired defensive coordinator Ardell Wiegandt and offensive line coach Walt Klinker. Yesterday, tight ends coach Todd Middleton resigned after four years at Kansas.
And then there were three.
"I want to be clear that Todd has coached well throughout the time that he has been here at KU." Allen said. "And the decision to leave the team is his and not mine.
"I have not asked him to leave the team, and if the choice were mine, I would have him stay on the staff next year."
Middleton worked as a linebackers coach his first three seasons at the University before he was shifted to work with the offense this year. His decision, he said, was something that had been broached for some time and did not appear to be a decision based upon Allen firing two of his colleagues.
"I'd been thinking
Bernard L. Hoyt
"I'd been thinking about it for a while," Middleton said. "I just felt it was time to move on and make some changes in my life."
Allen had remained coy about his
chances of dismissing assistants at his final press conference on Nov. 20, after Kansas finished 4-7, losing its last four games. He only said replacing some of his assistants was "a no possibility."
Allen, who coached previously at Northern Iowa, has been loyal to his assistants. He kept most of his staff intact when he arrived here in 1997. Klinker, 62, had worked with Allen for 14 years at Northern Iowa before going to Hawaii for a year as an assistant. The pair reunited when Allen took the Kansas job.
Wiegandt, 60, is a 30-year coaching veteran with experience at every level. He had spent the past 12 seasons working under Allen, however, he said he understood his fate after a disappointing year on defense.
"We didn't perform on defense this season, and that's my responsibility."
Wiegandt said. "That's why these things happen in coaching."
The choice to start fresh with part of his coaching staff has been a tough call for Allen.
"This was a very difficult and extremely painful decision for me personally," Allen said. "However, I felt it was necessary for the future of our program."
Even more difficult than the firings could be finding replacements willing to work for what Kansas pays its assistants. The Jayhawks are ranked last in the Big 12 Conference in assistants' salaries. Allen has said he would like to see the salaries raised, but said that he realized the way the past three seasons had gone, he's not in the position to ask.

Jayhawks pelt road-weary Illini
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
By Zac Hunter
The next time No. 24 Illinois decides to come to Allen Fieldhouse for a game, it might decide to avoid the detour through Maui.
The Fighting Illini played in the inaugural Maui Classic last weekend and apparently had nothing left in the tank for the second half against the Jayhawks. Kansas used an 18-4 run to beat Illinois 73-60 last night in Allen Fieldhouse.
Kansan sportswriter
"I think the big thing was they kind of ran out of gas," said senior forward Jaclyn Johnson. "They had a pretty tough road swing there, coming from Hawaii. And I think that definitely worked to our advantage."
Johnson led the team with 23 points, scoring more than 20 points for the third time in just three games. She also surpassed 1,000 career points midway through the second half.
"She's the first one of us to get there, and it's really exciting," said senior guard Jennifer Jackson, referring to the three seniors on the team. "Jaclyn has been great for four years, and I think that her consistency is what got her there."
With Illinois back on its heels, Kansas coach Marian Washington knew just what to do: turn up the pressure.
"I think our defense forced them to take some shots that they didn't want," Washington said.
"The second half they didn't penetrate our defense as much," she said. "We were taking a chance that they might make those outside shots, but it was a lot better than allowing them to continue to break our defense down."
Washington's gamble paid off, because the Illini shot an abysmal 24 percent in the second half.
With Kansas clamping down on the penetration of the Illini guards, it left openings from the perimeter. But Washington said she was willing to take that chance.
Although Illinois was fatigued from its trip, Kansas was coming off a road trip of its own, from Birmingham, Ala., and also was short-handed.
Junior center Nikki White did not play

senior forward
because of headaches caused by the broken nose that she suffered before Saturday's game against Alabama-Birmingham.
Jackson also was questionable before the game, but made good on her promise not only to play, but to start.
"I told her yesterday that I was going to play," Jackson said about a conversation with Washington. "I don't know why she doubted me."
Jackson finished with 10 points and three assists, helping avenge the Jayhawks' loss to Illinois last season.
The one newcomer who stepped up last night was junior KC Hilgenkamp. She was an efficient 5-7 from the field, hitting several big shots down the stretch and finished with 11 points.
But Hilgenkamp's biggest contribution was her passes. She finished with nine assists, including two huge feeds to Johnson for easy buckets to start the second half.
"She is one of the best passers in the conference," Washington said of Hilgenkamp. Jackson also praised Hilgenkamp's performance, which included only one turnover.
"Anytime you have newcomers like we have, stepping up and ready to follow the people that have already been here, I think that's really important," she said.

Axtell rejoins Kansas lineup but ankle still slows his play

Even though Axtell performed well with 11 points in the Jayhawks' 92-68 drumming of Middle Tennessee State on Monday, he said his ankle still wasn't quite up to par.
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com Kansan sports writer
but he's sun nor quite back into run swing. Axtell, a senior forward, led the Jayhawks in scoring in their first two exhibition games. But he severely sprained his ankle hours before Kansas headed to New York for the Coaches vs. Cancer IKON Classic, and he was forced out of the Jayhawk lineup until last Saturday's win against Washburn University
Luke Axtell is back in the Kansas lineup, but he's still not quite back into full swing.
Axtell's shot has been dropping for the Jayhawks since his return, connecting on 50 percent of his shots so far this season. But despite the productive numbers.
"I'm about 85 percent," Axtell said. "It doesn't affect my shot, but it affects coming off screens and moving laterally."
Kansas coach Roy Williams said he would keep a protective eye on Axell. After Axell landed awkwardly on the ankle late in the game against the lchabods, Williams told his senior forward he would keep a close watch on the injury.
"When he tweaked it in Saturday's game, I think that scared him a little bit, and he was a bit more tentative in yesterday's practice," Williams said. "We had a little talk before, and I told him I was going to watch him closely and that he would have to understand that everybody that's ever had a severe ankle sprain has had some pain involved for a month afterwards."
In fact, Williams said Axtell might not be 100 percent for a few more weeks.
Williams also said Axell would be a factor when he was healthy.
"He does give you another weapon, and he's hard to guard," Williams said.

decided to turn back the clock, too.
For the first time since Paul Pierce won the honor in February 1988, a Kansas player was named the Big 12 player of the week. This time, senior forward Kenny Gregory won the honor for his efforts last week against Boise State.
Gregory scored a season-high 25 points against the Broncos to accompany a career-high 11 rebounds. After five games, Gregory leads the Jayhawks with 20.6 points a game and 8.8 rebounds.
The Jayhawks reportedly have reached an agreement to play in next fall's Maul Invitational. The tournament will feature UCLA, Duke, Seton Hall, Houston, South Carolina, Ball State, Chaminade and Kansas.

Columnist strikes back writes own Free for All
Today seems like a good day to burn a bridge or two.
A lot of times when I go out, people stop me and talk about my columns. I think that's great. I enjoy meeting people who read my columns or remember a cartoon I did.
I'm calling out all you "Free for All" suckers. That's right. Just because you got ten words printed in the *Kansan* doesn't make you tough.
But, on occasion, I'll meet some chump that wants to brag to me, and he or she will say,
"Yeah, well, I've been in the Free for All three times!" Then they go on and tell me what meaningful thoughts they had printed.
Half the time I want to respond, "Oh! That was you! Those words moved me so, I've since given up jaywalking!" Or maybe, "Ha! That was so funny I coughed up blood laughing!"
But I don't. I'm nice. I smile. I say, "Oh,
really? Your parents must be proud."
Then I'll see someone who I know but haven't seen in two months. The first thing they'll tell me is, "Hey, I saw what was written about you in the Free for All... heh-heh-heh." Then I tell them I don't read the Free for All and get all defensive trying to find out what someone said about me.
So today I strike back. I'm doing my own Free for All. Don't like it? Tough. Deal with it.
Some of these Free for All statements are contributed from others, but I'll take the heat for all of them. Sorry it takes the anonymity out of the Free for All concept, but I've got a problem with anonymous people trying to stir up trouble. Something about backbones and the like...
So here ya go. Free for All, Jonesey Style.
I think all the people who read the Free for All have drinking problems.
Yeah, Roy Williams is a fine coach, but we take her worship a little too far. Want a real hero? How about a primary school bus driver?
-
I could make fun of frat boys, sorority girls, dorm rats or whatever other campus group I can think of. But I'm not that trite.
You get three years to build a football program. Then if you still suck, you get canned. Example: USC's firing of Paul Hackett. Terry Allen — borrowed time.
You know, every time I read my column, the first thing I think is, 'Dammit, I'm way better looking in real life.'
And then a voice spoke in my head, and she said, 'Dark is not the opposite of light. It's the absence of light.'
One for me (takes a drink of St. Ides), one for all my sexually assaulted soccer girls (pours a drink of St. Ides on the ground).
The funny thing about those of you who really hate me is that you're also my most loyal readers. Thanks for your support.
Comic books are literature too.

Hi, my name is Seth Jones, and I just wanted to see something positive about me in the Jonesey-Style Free for All. So, I think I'm a nice guy.
I'd like to give another shout-out to the Crimson Girls. And if that anglers you, I have to wonder, why?
Ironic, the most fervent environmentalist in national politics was ousted by the Green Party.
'Ohhh' was cool back when Ostertag was here.
"Puuhu" was really pushing it. Now "Dreee"
and "Luuuke" cheers make me wince.
Did you read this far in the column? I win again! (I... am. Spartacus!)

There is a lot of risk involved from a medical point of view but I've been cleared and I feel good." Lindros said. "I'd really like to play in Toronto. It's a great organization, a great city and being from here, it just seems to be a good fit. I mean I see it that way and hopefully we'll see what happens."
NHL
He was asked repeatedly if Toronto was the only NHL team he would play for, but Lindros would not give a direct answer.
Lindros, a restricted free agent, said Fliers general manager Bob Clarke had asked him to make a deal with another team.
The 27-year-old center was born in London, Ontario, about a two-hour drive from Toronto. He also played junior hockey in Oshawa, a Toronto suburb.
However, Clarke said yesterday he had not asked Lindros to make any deal.
"We haven't had any offers at all from any team for Eric," Clarke said. "We're certainly not going to try and stop Eric from playing in the National Hockey League, but we are going to make the best deal with any club that we can for the Flivers."
Lindros has not played since sustaining his sixth concession in more than two years. He was checked by New Jersey's Scott Stevens while playing for Philadelphia in May. He was appearing in only his second game after a 21/2-month absence because of postconcussion syndrome.
In July, Lindros rejected Philadelphia's $8.5 million qualifying offer. That means he has the right to sign with another team, but the
Flyers have matching rights.
The 6-foot-4, 235-pounder has made it clear he will not play for Philadelphia again. Clarke has said he wanted full value in return for the all-star despite his medical history.

President of NASCAR steps down from post
Bill France Jr. stepped down yesterday as president of NASCAR, the racing circuit his father founded in the 1940s that has grown into a multibillion-dollar industry.
France was replaced by Mike Helton, who has been overseeing day-to-day operations for nearly two years.
The 67-year-old France disclosed in 1999 he had cancer and had missed many races this season. Earlier this month, however, he appeared at the Pennzoil 400 at Homestead-Miami Raceway and said he was feeling much better and spending more time at the office.
France, who succeeded his father, Bill Sr., as president of the sanctioning board for stock car racing in 1972, will serve as chairman of a new five-member board of directors.
Under France, NASCAR grew from the tiny dirt tracks of the backwoods South to a sport that is now worth $2,4 billion in TV rights.
"Mike Helton is a well-respected member of the NASCAR community who has a great understanding of the sport and its values," France said. "Mike is well-suited to carry on the tradition of strong leadership at NASCAR, not only within our offices but for the entire industry."

Bob Stoops needed just one season to make Oklahoma respectable in the conference. In his second season, the Sooners are more than respectable — they're No. 1 in the country, and Stoops is the overwhelming choice as Associated Press Big 12 Coach of the Year.
Stoops received 17 of 20 votes in balloting by sportswriters throughout the conference. Dan McCarney, who led Iowa State to an 8-3 season and its first bowl game since 1978, received the other three votes.
"That's an award to me is given to the entire coaching staff," Stoops said. "I'm appreciative and honored. I'm fortunate to work with the guys I work with every day. These coaches are excellent. We've got a great rapport in our office and our day-to-day working environment. I think every one of us can't wait to get to work."
When Stoops became Oklahoma's coach in December he inherited a team that had won just 12 games in the previous three years. What he found were players who lacked confidence and had poor work habits, and he quickly went about changing that.
Offensive coordinator Mark Mangino points to three factors in Stoops' success: his positive attitude, his refusal to accept excuses
But Stoops' players point to him. They say he is demanding but fair and always consistent in his approach.
and his embracing of high expectations. "He didn't come in and say, 'We're going to have to wait awhile until we recruit our own players,'" Mangino said.
"Before, if we went on the road and got beat, on the way back, everybody would be laughing, giggling, having fun," said senior offensive tackle Scott Kempenich. "It didn't hurt to lose, and that's
It didn't hurt the thing that changed a lot.
"Even when we win. There's been a couple games we won and I didn't play my best, and I wasn't
even really happy because I knew I had to get better. That's a totally different attitude than in the past. In past when we won, everything was great."
Receiver Damian Mackey said the off-season and summer workouts out Since Stoops are much more difficult than they were under the previous regime.
"You can't take away the fact coach Stoops is a great motivator." Mackey said. "There's something about the way coach Stoops preaches to our team, it makes us
feel like we can't lose."
Oklahoma has done plenty of winning this year. After starting out with four victories at home, the Sooners faced a rugged October — games against No. 11 Texas in Dallas, at No. 2 Kansas State, and at home against No. 1 Nebraska.
The Sooners swept all three to move to No.1, where they have staved.
"I've said that all along, that we never had a date when we'd be in this position," Stoops said after the Nebraska game. "We've just taken the approach that we're going to get better each and every week as a team, we're going to get better each and every month as a team. That's how we started and that's how we've progressed."
Now Oklahoma has moved within two victories of its seventh national championship. The school administration recently rewarded Stoops by extending his contract and doubling his salary to about $1.4 million per year.
"It's really a point, almost, where you start to reach for new superlatives when you try to describe his impact on this program in two years," said athletics director Joe Castiglione. "He has a real knack for creating an environment that inspires people to be successful."

Senior joins elite 1,000-point club
By Rebecca Barlow sports@kansan.com kansan sportwriter
Senior forward Jaclyn Johnson shot her way into Kansas history last night.
She was the 15th player in Kansas women's basketball history to score 1,000 points in her career, reaching the milestone in the Jayhawks' 73-60 defeat of Illinois at Allen Fieldhouse.
Johnson is now part of the Kansas women's basketball elite, joining former Jayhawks including Lynette Woodard and Lynn Pride in the 1,000-point club. She said she was excited to join these elite athletes.
"It feels really good to reach that plateau," she said. "The elite women of Kansas basketball reach 1,000 points, and it just feels really good to be in their company."
After Johnson took a seat on the bench after starting the second half, the announcer announced she needed four points to reach 1,000. The crowd waited impatiently for Johnson's return to the game, and she came off the bench with about 14 minutes left to play.
Johnson first scored a two-point basket and was fouled later in the half. Heading to the free-throw line, this was her chance to score the two points she needed to reach 1,000.
With the fieldhouse silent, she took her first shot and made it. It was now one down and one more to go. She took her second shot but missed.
Johnson said after she missed her second free throw, she wasn't thinking about making a shot to reach 1,000 points but to add to the Javahaws' lead.
"I wasn't worried about it," she said. "That was not my goal coming into the game — to reach 1,000. I just go out there and play every game hard. If I score two, that's fine, and we win, that's OK. I really don't set personal goals like that."
One point shy, Johnson got back on defense and continued to wait. Her moment finally came later in the half. She was standing near the free-throw line when she got a pass from the wing. Johnson spun to the right, drove to the basket and hit a leaning shot, pushing her above the 1,000-point mark.
"I hadn't played well in the two previous games, and I think (Kansas coach Marian Washington) was really trying to switch it up to see if I could play better coming off the bench," she said. "I don't think it was a personal vendetta or anything like that. That's just the way she decided to do it and that's fine with me."
Johnson scored 24 points that not only got her in the record books but also helped the Jayhawks to a much-needed victory against the Fighting Illini. She said the victory was more important to her than the 1,000 points.
KANSAS 12
Washington said she was proud of Johnson's achievement.
"I'm delighted for her," she said. "Any time any of our players reach that milestone, I think it's outstanding and something she's going to be able to treasure the rest of her life."

Bowler rolls perfect game
By Michael Sudhalter
Move over, Randy Moss. The real star of Turkey Day was Barri Forkos, Hanover Park, III., senior, the first female to bowl a perfect game in Kansas bowling's 47-year history Thursday in St. Louis.
Forkos, captain of the Kansas women's bowling team, said she was pleased with her first perfect game, yet was shocked as well.
"It felt really good, but I didn't believe it actually happened to me," said Forkos, who bowled the 300 score in an individual qualifying round for the National Collegiate Match Game Tournaments.
Although Forkos was proud of achieving this goal, she said the perfect game did not cross her mind during the 12 frames.
the girl I was bowling with."
"I wasn't thinking about the perfect game," said Forkos, "I was just trying to get good shots and help
However, one of her teammates said she had a feeling that Forkos, whose previous high score was 288, would achieve her first perfect game.
"Iknew after the ninth frame that she was going to get a perfect game," said Forkos' teammate Tiffany McBurney, Albany, Ore., junior. "Every ball was consistent and she worked hard and stayed calm the whole time."
Forkos could not compete in the next round of the individual tournament because of the team competition. However, she said the team's goals always came before her personal aspirations as a bowler.
"I'm proud of the perfect game," said Forkos. "However, I just want us to be competitive and make it to nationals this year."
The Kansas women's bowling team, ranked 24th out of 36 collegiate teams, has benefited from the leadership of Forkos, the team's lone senior.
"Barri is very good at keeping the team together mentally and she is a very competitive bowler who handles pressure well," McBurney said.
Coach Michael Fine said her perfect game was a special feat.
"I think she has been a good senior leader," Fine said. "Hopefully, it will give her even more confidence."
Forkos said the team was steadily improving, despite members' different approaches to the sport.
The men's and women's bowling teams will travel to New Jersey for two tournaments during winter break. The Jayhawks will compete at the Colgate Collegiate Invitational in Maple Shade, N.J., on December 27 and 28, and the South Jersey Winter Classic in Cherry Hill, N.J., on December 29 and 30.
"It has been five years since we bowled on the East Coast," said Fine. "It should be fun for us to get back there."

Intramural teams seek key to wins

A single-elimination format has many teams on edge and looking for any keys to success.
Spectators could smell the sweat and see the hustle when they entered Robinson Gymnasium on opening night of the pre-holiday intramural basketball tournament last night.

The tournament is set up randomly, which provides for competitive and lopsided play.
Loy Ukpokodu, Lawrence freshman and intramural participant, said he thought practicing as a team was advantageous.
Our team didn't really play well as a队." Ukpokodu said after his team was eliminated. "We need to practice a little more before the regular season."

The tournament also provides an opportunity for the referees to polish their work.
"The main goal is to survive and
Betsy Cordell, Little River senior and intramural supervisor, said the pre-holiday tournament was helpful to prepare the referees for the play that the intramural basketball regular season would feature.
"The officials have two clinics that help them prepare for the season," she said. "But the pre-holiday tournament is very helpful to give them an idea of what is to come."

Big 12 coaches snub volleyball player
Myatt not named to All-Big 12 team
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Amy Myatt did her best, but as far as the Big 12 Conference coaches are concerned, her best just didn't seem to cut it.
She swatted down ball after ball. She broke records. She won awards.
However, Myatt's name was absent from the 12-athlete list of this year's AllBig 12 Conference volleyball team, as well as the list of six honorable mentions.
The Big 12 coaches cast votes at the end of the season to determine the team. Myatt, senior outside hitter, received votes, but not enough.
"This year, they allowed every coach to vote for their own players," coach Ray Bechard said. "Sometimes, coaches play it safe and vote for their own players."
Therefore, Myatt's accom
plishments seem to be overlooked, especially in comparison with the first team players.
The senior outside hitter shattered her own record for average kills per game on a season, averaging 4.57, which was also good enough to finish fourth in the Big 12 in kills per game.

Myatt: Named honorable mention after last season, but snubbed in this
list, although they do appear in other categories.
"There's amazing players from other teams, too," said Danielle Geronymo, senior middle blocker. "I don't have a clue why she's not qualified. She's a senior with great stats. She
deserves it."
Myatt also holds the Kansas record for career kills per game with a 3.96 average during the last four years and is the only player in Kansas history to record more than 400 kills in two different seasons.
And, for the second year in a row, she was named First Team Academic All-Big 12. "It's unfortunate," Bechard said. "I can tell you that every team we played this season prepared for her."
Myatt was immediately tagged the "go-to" Kansas player by other Big 12 teams, especially because Myatt was named an honorable mention to the All-Big 12 team last year.
But Myatt doesn't seem bitter about her lack of Big 12 accolades.
"Of course it's something every player hopes for," Myatt said. "However, there's a lot of quality players in this conference that deserve the recognition."

Asian soul artist seeks U.S. fame
NEW YORK—Toshi Kubota was 10 and growing up in rural Japan when he first saw Stevie Wonder on television. Captivated by the music's rhythm, melodies and American flavor, Kubota decided he would grow up to become a singer of soul music. Never mind that the genre barely existed in Japan in the 1970s.
The Associated Press
These musicians seem impressed with Kubota.
Kubota, who taught himself music and English by crooning along with Marvin Gaye, went on to become a pioneer of rhythm and blues in Japan, surging to stardom with albums such as Such a Punky Thang and The Baddest. Since 1966, he's sold 11 million albums in Japan.
To boost his credibility, Kubota got several respected American soul artists to collaborate with him on the album. Hip-hop group The Roots produced two songs, and Raphael Saadiq, from groups Lucy Pearl and Tony Toni Tone, produced two others. Rapper Pras, from the Fugees, makes an appearance.
"He's authentic and talented," says ?uestlove, cofounder of The Roots. "I can't work with people who aren't authentic."
So six years ago, Kubota moved to New York, determined to break into the U.S. market. "I needed to sing in the environment that produced Stevie Wonder," he said.
Kubota wrote or co-wrote the music for all but two of the 13 tracks on his second release, Nothing But Your Love, which range from upbeat dance songs to ballads. He sings in English throughout.
but particularly in something as homegrown. Kubota's first U.S. album, Sunshine, Moonlight, released in 1995, fared decently. Columbia Records shipped 30,000 copies to stores — not bad for a debut album by a foreigner, but clearly not a rousing success.
But all along, my dream has been to make it in America — something no Japanese pop musician has achieved, although composer Ryuichi Sakamoto and saxophonist Sadao Watanabe have had some success.
Kubota has several strikes against him. He's an Asian in a genre dominated by African Americans, and for any foreigner, breaking into the U.S. music industry is tough but particularly in certain areas of he
It hasn't been easy. Although he is starting to get some attention among musicians with the summer release of his second U.S. album, Nothing But Your Love, he's still barely known in the mainstream.

Conference defined by three tiers
By Chris Wristen
by Chris Wriston
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
A quick glance at the men's basketball teams in the Big 12 Conference should identify a class system being formed. Quality wins or bad losses have established clear upper, middle and lower classes early in the season.
The upper class
No. 2 Kansas and No. 14 Oklahoma are the only nationally ranked teams in the conference.
Oklahoma stands 5-0 after capturing the Big Island Invitational title in Hilo, Hawaii. Oklahoma defeated Montana State, Tulane and Oregon State on its way to the title. Sooners coach Kelvin Sampson said the field provided good competition for his team.
"This was a good challenge for us," Sampon said. "All three opponents all play different systems and the players adjusted well, but we still in November, so we're trying to find our niche."
The Sooners found their niche behind the three-point arc. J.R. Raymond hit five three's and Hollis Price, Nolan Johnson and Kelley Newton each added two three-pointers for the Sooners, who shot 12-for-21 from three-point range.
The middle class
Iowa State (3-0), still recovering from the early exit of All-American Marcus Fizer, beat Northern Iowa 69-55 on Monday night.
Senior center Paul Shirley said he expected the team to struggle against the much weaker opponent. and it did.
12 CONFERENCE
BIG 12 ONEZRANCE
"I knew that was going to happen," Shirley said. "That's something you understand from playing games like this."
Missouri also is nursing a pregraduation departure to the NBA in Keyon Dooling. The Tigers have responded with a 3-1 start and a second-place finish in the Great Alaska Shootout. Missouri lost 84-62 to Syracuse on Saturday after a come-from-behind win against Valnaraiso on Friday.
Freshman guard Ricky Paulding led the Tigers with 16 points against Valparaiso, while sophomore forward Kareem Rush scored 2 against Syracuse. Rush hit three of four three-point attempts but was plagued with foul trouble.
The Texas Longhorns are breathing easier after the loss of two stars. The team is 3-1. The lone loss came to No. 1 Duke in the semifinals of the Preseason NIT. Texas beat Navy and California in the opening rounds before its loss, then bounced back and beat Indiana 70-58 on Saturday.
Closing out the middle class is Oklahoma State, a team that is as unsure of its starting lineup as it is of its potential. Only three returners are on the Cowboys' roster, but that was enough experience for them to beat UMKC 69-46 in the season opener last week. Forward Fredrik Jonzen led the Cowboys with 17 points and nine rebounds, and the Oklahoma State defense gave up just five field goals in the second half.
One team falling off the basketball food chain is Texas A&M. The Aggies entered the season preaching about a "break-through season." Those plans were temporarily interrupted as Birmingham Southern blew out the Aggies 74-54 at A&M on Saturday, Texas A&M fell to 1-2 with the loss.
The lower class
St. Joseph's stamped Colorado in the Buffaloes' home opener, 9278, on Sunday as Colorado fell to 23.
Kansas State maintained its usual position near the conference basement when it fell to 1-1 after a 76-66 loss to Wichita State. Adding to that morale killer was the departure of senior guard Galen Morrison, the Wildcats' leading returning score who quit this season.
Coach Jim Wooldridge said he was disappointed with his team against Wichita State, as well as its play this season.
"I expected more from everyone on our team," Wooldridge said. "Wichita State got the ball quicker and was more aggressive than we were, and that's the difference in the game. We lost our poise on some possessions, and I thought that was the nail in the coffin."
Nebraska, a recent conference cellar dweller, blew out Winthrop 65-44 on Saturday, led by senior center Kinnani Friend's 19 points.
Two Texas schools expected to be in the lower class played last week. Texas Tech (2-0) defeated Louisiana-Lafayette 94-73 on Saturday. Meanwhile, Baylor (2-0) blew out Hardin-Simmons 93-52.

'Penguin'enlivens blasé game
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The verdict from students is in, and they say the Jayhawks' home non-conference schedule is for the birds.
So much so that for Monday's game against Middle Tennessee State, one Kansas student showed up dressed as a penguin.
That's right, a penguin.
The tuxedo-like bird costume was inspired by Adam Sandler's 1995 movie Billy Madison. At one point in the second half, everybody in the student section on the fieldhouse's south side sat down, and the penguin remained standing to distract the Blue Raiders' free-throw shooters.
For the record, there is a student in the penguin costume. He's Matt Dallman, Prairie Village senior and a member of Phi Gamma Delta fraternity. Because Dallman is graduating at the end of the semester, he wanted to end his tenure as a Kansas student in a memorable fashion.
"I wanted to go out with a bang," Dallman said. "I figured it was my duty as a fan to dress up as a penguin and start waving my arms and trying to distract the other team from making a shot. If (the Blue Raiders) missed one shot because of me, then I've done my job."
Dallman was given the costume after a performer named Dino the Magician
donated the outfit to the summer camp where Dallman worked. But when Dallman decided to wear it to a basketball game, he had no idea what kind of response he would get. As it turned out, the response was overwhelming for the penguin, and Dallman even got to go onto the court at halftime to shoot baskets and shake the hand of longtime broadcaster Max Falkenstien.
Of course, Dallman does have ties to the Kansas men's basketball team. Junior forward Jeff Carey is also a member of Dallman's fraternity, and Carey knew about the penguin's appearance before the game. Dallman also said he planned to attend the Jayhawks' game tomorrow against Illinois State.
Students who viewed Dallman's antics at Monday's game said the costume made an otherwise boring game into an entertaining affair.
"I thought the penguin was awesome," said Ryan Yaeger, Maple Lake, Minn., freshman. "Random stuff like that is what makes games like that fun."
In fact, some Kansas students have become bored with the ho-hum whippings the Jayhawks have given their opponents at home. Kansas has won all four of its home games by an average of 35 points, and students are starting to get bored.
the schedule was created by Kansas coach Roy Williams, who said the weaker schedule was the result of an
unfavorable seeding in last year's NCAA tournament. So although last year's home non-conference schedule included NCAA-tournament teams such as Pepperdine and Ohio State, this season's schedule features two Division II teams and two other opponents — Boise State and Illinois State
- that didn't even have winning records last season. Although the schedule may mean more wins, it means less excitement for students.
"It's a little hard to be excited when they're winning by 35 points every night," said Dave Martin, Overland Park junior. "I understand why Roy is doing the schedule like he is, but it's not fun to watch."
Lorie Rziha, a Great Bend senior who has attended every home game this season, agreed.
"It's so boring to see them just kill everybody like that," Riha said. "I mean, why can't they get some real teams in here?"
Despite the fans' boredom, the Kansas players are looking at this part of their schedule as a chance to become stronger.
"We're looking at it as improving ourselves as much as we can these couple of games," said senior forward Luke Axtell. "It's not old. We look at it as a chance to get better because we have a lot of big games coming up especially in the conference."

Fees could affect use of MP3s
Students say they would pay Napster to download music
Bv Travis Reed
Special to the Kansan
There still might be no such thing as a free lunch, but for almost two years wired audiophiles at the University of Kansas could download free music by using file-sharing services such as Napster and Scour Exchange.
Now the honeymoon might be finished or at least drawing to a close signaled by changes in two of the most popular MP3-downloading services.
On Nov. 16, Sourc, a file-sharing application downloaded by more than 7 million
lion Internet users, closed its doors for indemnity against a litany of lawsuits claiming copyright infringement. Just weeks before, Napster, a similar company that says it has 38 million registered users, allied with Bertelsmann's BMG music division and agreed to start charging a user fee in exchange for dismissal of pending lawsuits.
It remains to be seen how membership fees will affect Napster. In an online poll published in Newsweek this week, 44 percent of respondents said they would discontinue using Napster if they had to pay for the service, while 24 percent said they would continue to use the service in lieu of buying CDs. The poll surveyed 1,873 respondents and offered no margin for error because it was unscientific.
Student reactions to the legal wrangling and posturing have been mixed.
MP3s eat more than half of Cliff Fowles's hard drive. Fowles, Assaria freshman, has about 1,300 of the compressed music files, but doesn't begrudge Napster or Scour for their
MP3S FOR A FEE
What happened? Scour Exchange closed, and Napster became partners with a company to begin charging users who download MP3 files.
What's next: Forty-four percent of respondents in a Newsweek poll said they would stop using Napster while 24 percent said they would continue to use the service in lieu of buying CDs. KU students had mixed reactions, but several said they would continue downloading MP3s if it was less expensive than buying CDs.
What it means: Charges will likely discourage many Web surfers from downloading MP3s from Napster.
business decisions.
"It's fair for everybody," Fowles said, adding that he'd be willing to spend about $20 a year to use Napster but couldn't afford much more than that.
Julie Ostroga, Chicago sophomore, said she'd spend up to $20 a month to use Napster because it was more convenient than buying CDs.
Liz Springer, Libertyville, III., freshman, said that she had purchased only one CD since she began downloading MP3s from online services last summer, and that she would continue to use the service if it proved cost-effective.
But Springer also understands why Napster will no longer be free.
"You have to understand the point of the musicians," Springer said. "If they're charging a reasonable amount, I think it's all right."

Graduating seniors seek subleasing possibilities
By J. D. McKee
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Because few landlords allow six-month leases, students who know they won't be living in Lawrence next semester had to sign a full-year lease.
Students graduating at the end of the semester have more than just finals to worry about — they also have to find people they can sublease their apartments to.
"I was worried about graduating at semester because I didn't want to get stuck with a lease," said Ashley Luckey, Chesterfield, Mo., senior.
But Luckey said it was easier than she thought to find someone to sublease to. She said one person already had put down a deposit for her apartment.
"We're lucky because we found somebody," Kelly said. "Otherwise, it would be a huge hassle. We'd have to pay rent for months we're not here."
Casey Kelly, Golden, Colo., senior, said her roommate's sister would move in next semester to continue her lease. Her other roommate is graduating, too.
Joane Laurenti, Topeka junior, said she had trouble finding another roommate after one of her current roommates graduated.
Laurenti said she and her other roommate, who was not graduating, would have to split the total rent in half rather than thirds, which would add about $100 onto the rent for each of them.
Laurenti said she probably wouldn't advertise because she hadn't had much success with it.
"We're hoping to hear if someone knows someone." she said.

$100,000 renovation to replace lanes, add sports cafe in April
The bowling alley on the first floor of the Kansas Union was spared last spring, but since then it has continued to endure difficult times — lanes that don't work, low student use and financial difficulties.
That's when a $100,000 renovation plan will replace all 12 lanes and ball returns, change the decoration and add a sports cafe to the Jaybowl. The renovation is part of the phase-three renovation plan for the Kansas Union, which also will change other parts of
The Jaybowl is waiting.
But all that could change as soon as April.
the Union.
"The renovations will increase traffic and turn the first floor into a recreation destination," said Michael Fine, KU bowling coach and recreation coordinator for the Kansas and Burge unions
Fine said that more people were starting to use the Jaybowl and that enrollment in bowling classes was up.
Currently, the Jaybow! has 40 games per lane each day, he said.
Marlon Marshall, St. Louis senior and student body vice president, said more people would go to the Jaybowl after the renovations.
"It will be more appealing," he said. "But it will stay the way it is now until April."
David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge unions, said the Jaybowl had two problems — space and financial issues.
"Iis the Jaybowl a good use of space?" Mucci said. "Besides, when you something like the Jaybowl, you have to at least break it even. The Jaybowl
lost $25,000 last year."
Fine said the Jaybowl lost some money because it had reasonable prices but said it was almost breaking even this year.
"We keep students' budgets in mind," Fine said. "Our only reason for existing is the KU community."
KU students pay $1.50 per game. Non-KU students pay $2.
Last winter, Mucci proposed a plan to have the Jaybowl replaced with a lounge area, stage, copy center, computer lab and food and convenience stores.
After Mucci's plan was publicized, students circulated a petition to save the Jaybowl. The petition later was endorsed by Student Senate, which also passed a resolution to spare the Jaybowl. Mucci's plan failed by an 11-10 vote by the Memorial Corp. Board, the organization responsible for the Kansas and Burge unions, on Feb. 13.
Kansan sues highway patrol to gain access to crash record
By Meghan Bainum
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University Daily Kansan filed a lawsuit yesterday against the Kansas Highway Patrol in order to obtain a report about a fatality accident that occurred in September.
Nathan Willis, Kansan editor, said the lawsuit, filed in Shawnee County District Court, was necessary because initial requests for the report made under the Kansas Open Records Act had been denied. The act states that public records, such as accident reports, are open to inspection unless the agency withholding the record can cite a specific exemption.
"We believe the report has information that is important to the KU community." Willis said. "The community has a right to know."
The highway patrol has closed the record, citing an exemption to the Open Records Act that allows for some criminal investigation records to be closed.
The report was requested as part of the Kansan's research into a Sept. 16 car accident on Kansas Highway 10 near Olathe. The two-car collision involved Sean Michael Scott, 16, and Felicia Bland, 39. Bland was killed in the accident.
Mike Merriam, the lawyer representing the Kansan, agreed.
Willis said he believed the highway patrol was unlawfully withholding information about the accident. He said the highway patrol was violating the section of the Open Records Act that reads "public policy of the state that public records shall be open for inspection by any person unless otherwise provided by this act, and this act shall be liberally construed and applied to promote such policy."
"We believe that the KHP is withholding an open record that must be disclosed by law, and their reasons for doing it are insufficient," Merriam said.
Kansan reporter Lauren Brandenburg had attempted to get a copy of the accident report from the Highway Patrol since Oct. 3. Brandenburg said that initially, the Highway Patrol said that the Kansan would be able to have a copy of the entire accident report for $2.
On Oct. 13, Brandenburg was told that she might not be able to obtain a copy of the accident report because a minor was involved. On Oct. 16, Brandenburg was informed that the report would not be released, either because Scott was a juvenile or because criminal activity may have been involved in the accident.
In an Oct. 25 letter to the Kansan, Brian Leininger, legal counsel and records officer for the highway patrol, wrote that the record was closed "so that any future prosecution would not be jeopardized by the release of sensitive information."
Alylis Christman, legal counsel for the Kansas Highway Patrol, said that she had no comment because she had not yet received the lawsuit. Willis said he hoped that the Kansan would be able to obtain a copy of the accident report.
"We think the law supports us on this issue, and we hope that the court's decision will confirm that," Willis said.

HIGHWAY PATROL LAWSUIT
What happened? The University Daily Kansas filed a lawsuit in Shawnee County District Court against the Kansas Highway Patrol to gain access to an accident report under the Kansas Open Records Act.
What it means: The Kansan wants the accident report to research a fatality accident that occurred Sept. 16 on Kansas Highway 10 near Olathe. The highway patrol has refused to release the report because it says it is part of a criminal investigation.
What's next: The Kanson is waiting for the highway patrol's response to the lawsuit.

December ceremonies planned for graduates
Several schools are planning December graduation ceremonies for students who are unable to return for spring commencement.
The School of Engineering will have a ceremony for 129 graduates at 1 p.m.
Sunday, Dec. 10, at Woodruff
Auditorium in the Kansas Union.
Jill Hummels, public relations director for the School of Engineering, said the school was the first to offer a December graduation, which dated back to at least 1991. The school usually has more than 350 graduates in the spring.
"It's simply a wonderful way to recognize the graduates who complete their coursework in the fall semester," Hummels said.
The School of Journalism will have a ceremony at 3 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 10, at Woodruff Auditorium.
The School of Law will have a winter graduate reception from 5 to 7 p.m. Friday, Dec. 15, at the Rice Room in Green Hall.
The School of Business will have an undergraduate ceremony for about 120 students at 1:30 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 16, at Woodruff Auditorium. Winifred L. Pinet of Sycamore Associates will be the featured speaker.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences will have a graduation ceremony at 1 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 17, in the Lied Center. Chancellor Robert Hemenway and and Sally Frost Mason, dean of the college, will speak.

Author to discuss novel Judaism at University
Simone Zeilitz, author of the recently released novel Louisa, will visit the University of Kansas Nov. 30 through Dec. 2.
Zelitz will read from her work at 7:30 tonight at the Jewish Community Center. 917 Highland Drive. A reception and book signing will follow. Both are free and open to the public.
Zelich also will address two KU classes. At a 2:30 Introduction to Fiction Writing class today in 204 Bailey Hall she will give a speech titled "From the Short Story to the Novel." She will speak on "Remembering the Holocaust for Contemporary Judaism" at a 10:30 History of Judaism in the West class tomorrow in 108 Smith Hall. The classes are open to the public, but space is limited and people wanting to attend should contact Iris Ins at 864-2522.
Louisa is set after World War II and Involves a Jewish woman and her German daughter-in-law.
Smith said the book was about how the two women coped with their different pasts as they formed a future
together in Israel. She said she was hoping for good attendance at the book signing and classes.
"I think this book appeals to the general public, but I think it does have special meaning for Jewish readers," she said.
Zelitch's visit is sponsored by the English department's lecturers and readers committee, the Lawrence Jewish Community Center and KU Hillel House.

GTA reports harassment from former student
A female graduate teaching assistant in the mathematics department reported that she was harassed by telephone by a former student between Nov. 1.3 and Tuesday, Lawrence police said.
Det. M.T. Brown said the female student called repeatedly after she was told not to. Initially, the student and teacher talked about classwork while the student was enrolled in the class. When the student began to tell the GTA her personal problems, the GTA said she became uncomfortable with the personal nature of the discussion.
Brown said the GTA then began receiving e-mail from the former student and numerous phone calls. She made the KU administration aware of the situation, and the administration told the student to stop contacting the GTA.
The GTA reported the incident to the KU Public Safety Office as well as the Lawrence Police Department.
Police have not yet talked to the student but are continuing their investigation. Brown said.

University receives Truman Honor award
The University of Kansas has received the 2000 Truman Foundation Honor Institution Award.
Scholarship Foundation will present the award during a University Senate meeting 3:30 p.m. Dec. 7 at the KU Visitor Center auditorium.
A representative of the Harry Truman
The University was chosen to receive the honor because of its active encouragement of students to pursue public service careers and its success in naming Truman scholars.
Barbara Schowen, KU honors program director, said the award was proof of the foundation's appreciation of the work the University had done in producing Truman scholars.
"We usually don't get this kind of feed back from other honors programs," she said. "It's nice that they recognize the institution, faculty and staff who are helping the students. We have wonderful students here at KU, and it's great that they're being recognized."

Unanswered 911 call transcript made public
NATION
PHILADLPHIA — The night a graduate student was raped and strangled in 1998, a neighbor called police to report a cry for help; choking sounds from the woman's apartment, according to a 911 call transcript made public by a federal judge.
Despite the call, police didn't enter the apartment until the next day, after the woman's body was found. The victim's parents are suing, blaming her death on the police decision not to enter the apartment that night. The city says police must have a good reason to break down a door, and the neighbor who called was a "wishy-washy" witness.
The transcript released Tuesday shows Patmata Greeley telling a police dispatcher: "My next-door neighbor, I just heard her yelling for help. I just heard her yell help. I knocked on the door and I just heard like a ... choking-type sound."

Conflicted Israel to have elections two years early
JERUSALEM — In the midst of a bloody conflict with the Palestinians, Israel has been plunged into political turmoil by an overwhelming parliament vote to have new elections, two years ahead of schedule.
Prime Minister Ehud Barak took a gamble Tuesday — on his political future and on Mideast peacemaking — when he unexpectedly agreed to go along with the hard-line opposition's push for an early vote. In first contacts late Tuesday, representatives of Barak's One Israel alignment and the opposition Likud party raised May 1 and May 8 as possible election dates.

Solar wings to soar today
CAPE CANAVERAL, FLA. — The biggest,
most powerful, most expensive set of solar
wings ever built for a spacecraft is about to
take flight.
The Associated Press
Late tonight, space shuttle Endeavour is scheduled to lift off with the $600 million solar panels, which will provide much-needed electrical power for the international space station.
The pair of glimmering, gold-colored panels will stretch 240 feet from tip to tip and 38 feet across, and cover half an acre, once they are unfurled on the newly occupied space station. Alpha.
Attaching and spreading the wings, which are folded like an accordion for launch, make this NASA's toughest construction mission yet.
The five shuttle crewmen — plus the three men who have been living on Alpha for the past month — expect the unfolding wings to be a breathtaking sight. It will be the largest
The space station cannot grow without the extra electrical power that the new solar panels will provide. NASA's power-hungry lab module is to be launched in January.
structure ever deployed in space.
Alpha's skimpy, Russian-built solar panels do not provide enough power to heat the roomy Unity module, which is sealed off, or to run all the station equipment at full blast.
The American-made solar wings — the first of four sets to be launched to the space station
— can produce 65 kilowatts at peak power,
enough to power about 30 homes on Earth.
ON THE RECORD
NASA has installed devices on Alpha to neutralize static electricity. If necessary, flight controllers could further reduce the risk by turning the solar panels so they do not face into the direction of travel, but that eats into power.
But no one really knows how much static electricity will be discharged as the space station zooms around Earth. NASA worries a spacewalking astronaut could be shocked and possibly killed by an electrical arc.
An unknown vehicle struck a parked vehicle and left the scene between 2:15 and 3:30 p.m. Tuesday in the south Robinson Center parking lot, the KU Public Safety Office said. No damages were listed.
Nov 20 in the 2300 block of Iowa Street, Lawrence police said. The items were valued at $25.
A KU student's wallet, keys, Social Security card and driver's license were stolen between 9 and 10 p.m.
A KU student's wood door was damaged in an attempted burglary Nov. 17 in the 2600 block of West Sixth Street, Lawrence police said. The damage was estimated at $200.

Revival of Burge goal for director
By Cássio Furtado
Special to the Kansar
When the University of Kansas built the Burge Union in 1979, it didn't expect that 21 years later, it would be practically empty.
David Mucci, director of the Kansas and Burge unions, wants to revive the Burge, making it a more attractive destination for students.
The first step, he said, would be to have a convenience store in the east side of the bookstore. He said the convenience store would be open until at least midnight.
"We are trying to figure out how to attract attention to that building." Mucci said, adding that the idea for the convenience store was tentative and that no time-frame had been established.
When the idea for the Burge was developed in the 1970s, it was intended to be a satellite union located near the residence halls. Its location was supposed to provide students who lived on Daisy Hill, as well as students and faculty in nearby academic buildings, with various services that could otherwise be found only in the Kansas Union.
The Burge now houses a dining facility that offers deli-style food, a salad bar and fast food. It also has a bookstore, the Union Technology Center, the Union Duplicating Center, the University Placement Office and Legal Services for Students.
But Mucci said it still was difficult to draw students to the Burge.
Marcela Vilich-Garza Monterey, Mexico, graduate student, said she had been there only twice.
"I don't even know what they have there," she said. "I know that they don't have a bank or a post office."
Many of the students who live on Daisy Hill don't go to the Burge because many of its services are provided by some residence halls. Other students such as Luis Parreira, Sao Paulo, Brazil, sophomore, to choose to go to the Kansas Union when they are on campus during the day.
"I don't use the Burge because there is nothing interesting over there," he said. "The Kansas Union is closer to my classes, and there are more things to do there."
Even though the Burge might not play as big a role as many expected at the time it was designed, it still serves the KU community. Students and faculty who have classes in Green, Learned and Summerfield halls prefer to go to the Burge rather than walk up Mount Oread to go to the Kansas Union.
Other students go to the Burge for services such as the University Placement Office or Legal Services for Students.
Some people are happy with the Burge just the way it is. Jo Hardesty, director and managing attorney of Legal Services for Students, said the office's clients preferred going to a place such as the Burge because confidentiality played a significant role in legal services.
"I imagine going to a place like the Kansas Union for legal advice," Hardesty said. "You don't want your friends and classmates to know that you are getting legal advice."

Police say chase involved drug deal
Police are investigating an accident involving a car chase on Oct. 26 as an attempted second degree murder and a completed aggravated robbery, Lawrence police said.
Det. M.T. Brown said police now had more details about the events of that night. They now believe that the altercation that started at the southwest corner of Sixth Street and Kasold Drive began because of a drug deal gone bad.
Brown said one of the men got into the suspects' car to
make the purchase. When the man gave the driver and the passenger the money, the men in the car pushed him out of the car and drove off.
Isaac Smith, the 27-year-old who was shot later in the altercation, began pursuing the men in the car, Brown said.
Police believe shots were fired into Smith's car at two different locations during the incident, which moved south on Kasold and then west on Clinton Parkway. One of the bullets wounded Smith.
The altercation ended when Smith crossed the center median on Clinton Parkway, hit a woman's car, and his car came to rest against a telephone pole, Brown said. The woman was not injured.
Brown said Smith's bullet wound was not the main injury that required him to be transported to a Kansas City hospital. Smith received multiple head injuries in the accident and was in a coma in a Kansas City hospital until recently.
Smith's passenger, James
Reed, was treated at Lawrence Memorial Hospital for a broken leg. Brown said.
Both suspects are males from Topeka, Brown said. Police traced the suspects' car to Topeka and have contacted one of the suspects but have not made any arrests.
Brown described the suspect the police had not contacted as an African-American male in his early to mid-20s, 6-foot-2 to 6-foot-3 and about 200 pounds.

Education board plans for revised standards

By Jason Krall
Some Kansas Board of Education members are planning their next move toward revamped science standards that include evolution theory after the Nov. 7 election left the board with a slight majority in favor of new standards.
tavor of new standards. Republican newcomers Sue Gamble of the Kansas City area, District 2, and Carol Rupe of Wichita, District 8, will replace Linda Holloway and Mary Douglass Brown, who supported the new standards and were defeated in the August Republican primaries.
With Gamble and Rupe, the board's stance on evolution switches to 6-4 in favor of evolution standards. Five seats, which were not at stake in the election, are filled by three board members who favor the current standards and two who support changing them.
Incumbents Bill Wagnon, a Topeka Democrat from District 4, and Bruce Wyatt, a Salina Republican from District 6, successfully
defended their seats and have promised that the new board's first action will be to change the standards to include evolution.
"The issue of revising the science standards will be an agenda item for that first
board meeting in January," Wyatt said. "The voters of Kansas have sent a message that they want that revision made."
But the message was clearer in some districts than others in the Nov. 7 election.
But the apparent division between District 10 and the rest of the state could be a result of how campaigns treated the issue during the election.
After Holloway and Gamble were defeated in the primaries, the only contested seat being defended by a candidate who supported the current standards was that of incumbent Republican Steve Abrams.
The evolution debate
Gamble said candidates such as Abrams who supported the
Abrams defeated Democrat Wayne Holt with 56 percent of the vote in District 10, which covers the south-central portion of the state including Sumner and Cowley counties.

understood very well," Gamble said. "In my race, I was very careful not to involve religion in my campaign, and I focused on high-quality science education instead."
"I think in some districts, the issue was not
The board approved the new standards last August, removing the theory of macroevolution from statewide assessment tests and left the choice on whether to teach it with local school boards.
Macroevolution is the belief that man is descended from earlier species. Microevolution remains included in the new standards.
Some supporters of the standards have advocated including creationist theory, which says man was created by God much as described in the Bible. Others support teaching intelligent design, the theory that some being, though not necessarily God, created life on Earth.
The new board will not simply amend the current standards to include evolution, Gamble said. Curriculumwriting committees are already receiving more support from companies that provide assessment tests and experts on national science standards since the election.
Revisions to be made in January will bring standards in Kansas higher than national standards, she said.
"This will probably be a set of standards that will have other states looking to us for leadership." Gamble said.

Canoe Club gets $5,105 from Senate
By Kusten Phelps writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
The Concrete Canoe Club hopes that about $5,000 of Student Senate funding approved last night will help keep its boat afloat this spring.
Josh Burdette. engineering sena-
At its last meeting of the semester, Senate approved a bill allocating $5,105 for materials to the club, which designs, builds and races a concrete canoe in a regional competition each spring.
STUDENT
SENATE
Josh Burdette tor and co-sponsor of the bill, said the group needed the money because material costs had risen and money from
other sources had decreased.
"Over time, the funding hasn't always been there, which meant we haven't built the greatest canoes," Burdette said. "We want to build a quality product, and these are materials that we can't go to Wal-Mart and buy."
Hugo Vera, graduate senator, said he didn't think the group had explored all of its possibilities.
"My belief is that when it comes to fund-raising, you have to be incredibly proactive," Vera said. "I believe this organization has not done this."
The group has secured $2,500 from the School of Engineering and the civil engineering department. It also has received about $800 from private corporations, said Renee Scholz, Atchison senior and the club's president.
Lisa Braun, Finance Committee chairwoman, proposed an amendment that would have given the group $1,320, including standard allocations for postage, advertising and office supplies, as well as $1,000 for materials. That amendment failed.
"We're really running out of money, and a lot of us in finance are freaking out," Braun said. "I think we really need to start scrutinizing things."
Going into last night's meeting, Senate had about $37,000 in the account it uses to grant money to student organizations. Last year at this time, it had about $41,000.
Ben Walker, student body president, said Senate didn't fund a lot of worthwhile things because it had finite resources.
"If we have money that's just siting there, I think we can make our standards more lax," he said. "But I don't think this group goes outside of what standards we have."

U.S. policy on pollution chokes world
Perspective
Recently, the United Nations had a summit with the world's nations that focused on pollution and the global climate. Many environmentalists and developing countries had high expectations of the conference as the first step toward a cleaner environment.
The anticipation came from a 1997 agreement in which the United States and several other industrialized nations agreed to reduce heat-trapping emissions, such as carbon dioxide, by as much as 5 percent by 2010.
The European Union, South Africa and several other nations poorer than the United States had hoped that this year's talks would bring a new commitment to slow pollution and its effects, such as the much-publicized global warming.
Unfortunately, the twoweek summit in the Hague,Netherlands, choked and died with the continuing corporate-backed policy of the United States,Australia, Japan and Canada.
HAMSTERDAM
The United States received a pie in the face, literally, as chief negotiator Frank Loy. Undersecretary for Global Affairs was smeared with a custard pie by a woman while an angry group of European protesters chanted on behind her.
Is this attitude toward U.S. policy justified? You bet. The four countries acting as the horsemen of the Apocalypse have formed a devious plan to buy their way out of adhering to environmental standards set up by the United Nations at the 1997 conference. Led by the United States and resource-rich Australia, the plan proposes to allow these richer and more industrialized countries to "trade" pollution standards with less-industrialized countries.
Corey M.
Snyder
columnist
opinion@kansan.com
Under the plan, the United States would pay off a nation that decreased its emissions by more than the required 5 percent, allowing the United States to progress toward the 5 percent goal while continuing to produce the most pollution in the world. Another U.S.-led amendment attempted to increase the amount of credit toward its goal for the number of forests a country has. Shame on us "dirty-rich" Americans.
For a long time I struggled with the global warming issue and if pollution and greenhouse gasses even amounted to anything. I think that is a huge issue for many Americans; one can't readily see gases and global warming. But that doesn't mean it's not happening. I can vaguely remember what the weather was yesterday let alone 10 years ago, but that doesn't change the fact that our average global temperature has increased nearly 2 degrees Fahrenheit.
The deciding factor for me came last week when it was reported that penguins, those cute torpedo-shaped swimming birds, were reported on the beaches of Rio de Janeiro. My mind quickly wandered to that catchy Sesame Street song, "Which One of These Things Doesn't Belong?" Obviously, penguins do not belong in Brazil. Preliminary speculation reasons that the penguins are following schools of fish that have been migrating to cooler northern waters because of the melting Antarctic ice self.
Penguins or no penguins, the United States has some serious flaws in its policy toward the global environment, and it all starts with our domestic agenda. For the past several years, at least since our last recession, the focus of national politics has been on the economy. Now I won't go as far as to say that the government is promoting more pollution, but it is funny that in the last 10 years there hasn't been a major environmental crackdown on major corporations — either domestic or multinational.
Politicians' hands have become tied by the power of the dollar some corporations wave their way during campaign season, and America's growing pollution problem continues to slip away from mainstream policy building. This continued disrespect by the United States to the rest of the world could have long-lasting consequences for the global climate and human health. It is unfortunate that our great nation, which leads the way on so many other issues, lags way behind in environmental concerns.

Political science survey. Paul Schumaker, professor of political science, has determined in a study of 119 elected officials that politicians are motivated by personal principles rather than the interests of the people.

Pop songs marketed as products,not music
In case you hadn't heard, today's pop music is hideous. Embarrassing predictability replaces artist variety and quality. Indeed, Eminem speaks the truth when he attacks the boy-band and Britney hysteria that has both captivated the minds and claimed the wallets of so many. At this point in history, when one could quite possibly hear "Bye, bye, bye" at the same time on three radio presets, I must draw a line in the sand and sound the alarm on the pathetic state of today's pop music.
Deep inside, people want to listen to thoughtful, provoking music. The industry has simplified music to the point where it means nothing and then sells it in mass quantities, such as the Backstreet Boys. Then, the public perceives this to be "normal" and "great."
The truth is, it is a domino effect. More and more people see and are influenced by modern, weak, corporate music, so that becomes the standard.
It doesn't help when politicians, teachers and other adults try to look "cool" by following the teenagers' examples. These artists who are being so exploited are not the next revolution in music. It only seems that way because, as always, the industry promotes it to the max to make it seem as though it is. And then, how could bad music get so big? Because it is all a cash cow, made to make money.
The music industry deserves partial blame Judging from pop radio's repetitive song
Scott Kaiser columnist opinion@kansan.com
rotations and the methodical lowering of expectations, the music industry has successfully made pop music radio and listeners very predictable. In this scheme to package music for the masses, the music is nothing more than just another product to place on the market. It isn't even about the music itself. It's about creating musical trends, as if music were fashion. The music industry has now made music age, race and gender-specific. For advertising sales, this is key because advertisements are more effective when you have a predictable and identifiable target market, you know exactly who is listening.
The answer is that there is a difference between popularity based on massive promotional spending campaigns rather than musical merit. Pop music today is popular because of mass promotion—paid promotions on MTV, in music storesand on the radio — rather than popular because of its musical merit. In other words, people hear the name and hear the sound and like it, rather than liking it based on personal preferences and appreciation of music.
The problem is aptly addressed in John Stuart Mill's utilitarianism, "It is better to be a human being dissatisfied than a pig satisfied; better to be Socrates dissatisfied than a fool satisfied. And if the fool, or the pig, are of a different opinion, it is because they only know their own side of the question. The other party to the comparison knows both sides."
But wait, you say. What's wrong with free market allocation of resources and choices based on demand about which songs to play and how often? Obviously people like this crap, so what's the problem?

Editorial
Long lines don't justify online buys
Benefits of traditional shopping outweigh those of Internet purchasing.
As holiday shopping fever sweeps across America, a lesson can be learned from last year's online purchasing mishaps — shopping is best done in person.
As the Internet's popularity has surged, so has the tendency to make purchases online. After all, who can resist the convenience of buying gifts in pajamas? You are always a few clicks away from completing all of your purchases, without even leaving the house. Convenience is definitely an incentive to do holiday buying via the Internet. That's why some are predicting that as much as $10 billion could be spent online during the upcoming holiday shopping season.
In the meantime, surfing the Internet for online retailers, such as CDNow.com or Amazon.com, cuts away money that could go to local businesses.
Handcrafted or unique gifts from smaller stores or local businesses are more difficult to find online and lose out when a larger corporation makes the sale. Gifts from major retailers don't always have the charm or artistic value of smaller-business products.
Perhaps most distressing, though, was that last year's online boom created havoc for e-businesses, delaying gift deliveries by months. A holiday gift in March doesn't cut it.
Also, many were given items that were different than what they ordered, a result of buying a product without being able to physically purchase it. With more holiday shoppers expected to purchase online this year, last year's delays could be mild compared with what could happen this year.
Going out and making the purchase in person gets you out of the house, gives you more control of your purchase, allows all businesses, big or small, to have a fair chance at your dollar and provides social interaction that online shopping does not.
This year, and in years to come,
do holiday shopping the old way.

Financial aid process begins early
Students should examine options, apply during break
By Nathan Doyani
by Naman Dayani
writer@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
Students needing financial aid face a major assignment during winter break.
That is the time, some administrators say, when students should examine their financial aid options and fill out the Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA).
Brenda Maigard, associate director of the Office of Student Financial Aid, said 51.4 percent of undergraduate students who attended the
University of Kansas received some form of financial aid.
Maigaard said that in December or January, the Department of Education would send out FAFSAs for the 2001-2002 school year. March 1 is the priority date for many of the scholarships.
She said winter break was an ideal time for students to consider their financial aid options and fill out a FAPSA.
"That's what I like to refer to as a little assignment over the winter break — to start looking at the free application data for the following year." Maiazaard said.
She said students should apply by the priority date because it would help their chances of getting some scholarships from pools with limited funding.
"Once those funds are awarded,
Priority deadline for FAFSA forms is March 1, 2001.
STUDENT FINANCIAL AID
Students can pick up financial aid forms at the Office of Student Financial Aid at 50 Strona Hall.

they're gone," she said. "So we encourage students to meet that priority date so that if they are eligible, they can be considered for those limited funding programs."
Nicole Perica, Bonner Springs senior and a recipient of federal financial aid, said financial aid counseling was beneficial.
"I think it's a great idea," she said.
"I have people who no idea on how
actually go about paying back something in the right amount of time."
The winter break might also be a good time for students to apply for other private scholarships, some of which are described at www.flnaid.org or www.fastweb.com. Both are free.
But Maigand warmed students that some scholarship services that asked for money might be scams.
"There are some legitimate scholarship searches that may require a small fee, and by a small fee, I mean $10 to $5," she said. "But, there are some searches that are actual scams, and they might charge as much as $800 to $800 to do something like a FAFSA for a student, and those are things financial aid administrators across the nation will help them with for free."

Subleasing a concern for winter graduates
Continued from page 1A
Apartments, said if Tuckaway didn't allow subleasing, it would lose prospective tenants.
"If they have the option of subleasing, they can get out of their leases and on with their lives," she said.
But some apartment complexes don't allow subleasing. Mandy Whitehead, manager of Berkeley Flats, said it was company policy to not allow tenants to sublease their apartments.
"We have other options if someone needs to get out of a lease early and leave early," she said.
Whitehead said if people needed to break the lease, they could pay a fee of 10 percent of the total rent and forfeit their deposit.
"That's the least expensive way to do it." she said.
Whitehead also said the complex would try to rent out the room after someone left, and whoever moved out could just pay the rent until the next person moved in.
Luckey said her apartment also required her to pay a $150 fee to sublease. Kelly said she had to pay $50.
Some of the complexes that allow subleasing charge fees for the residents who want to sublet their apartments.
In addition, Luckey said she would have to clean the apartment and have the carpets cleaned.
"It's just like moving out in August." she said.
Luckey said she didn't know whether she would get her deposit back or if the new people moving in would have to pay her and her roommate.
Kelly said she and her roommate probably wouldn't get their denosit back.
"They keep our deposit money," she said. "If something does go wrong, our deposit is gone."

One million ballots shipped to Tallahassee for recounting
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — Vice President Al Gore authorized a new appeal to the Florida Supreme Court yesterday, sending his legal team back to the site of one of his biggest legal victories.
Meanwhile, about one million ballots from Miami-Dade and Palm Beach counties were ordered shipped to the circuit court in Tallahassee, where Judge N. Sanders Sauls will conduct a hearing on the disputed votes on Saturday.
Gore approved an appeal to the state's highest court seeking an immediate recounting of disputed votes in the two southern Florida counties that were not included in the totals certified by the secretary of state, two Democratic officials said.
The officials, speaking on condition of anonymity, said Gore's lawyers in papers filed late yesterday would ask the justices to do one of two things: supervise and direct the counting of ballots themselves, or order a judge in Tallahassee to begin doing so immediately, overturning an earlier ruling.
Sauls refused to hear Gore's request on an expedition basis Tuesday. Instead, he set the hearing on Saturday and ordered that disputed ballots from Miami-Dade County be transferred to
Tallahassee, the state capital.
Yesterday, Bush's lawyers demanded that all the ballots from the two counties be sent, and the judge agreed.
The judge would not grant Gore lawyer David Boies' request that the disputed ballots be shipped separately to get there sooner. The Miami-Dade ballots are due at the court by late tomorrow.
"Pack 'em up and bring 'em up," the judge said. The ballots will be shipped in police caravans, with both sides sending observers to ride in the convoy.
The Gore appeal will ask that counting begin while Sauls considers whether the new number should be added to the official state tally, the Democratic officials said.
One official said that the Gore appeal would argue that "delay means the defeat of the right of voters of Florida."
The maneuver returns the vice president to a court where the Florida Supreme Court unanimously ruled that hand recounting could continue for 12 days beyond the original deadline set in state law. Gore hoped the recounting would help him overtake Bush's slim lead in the state, but the tallying only brought Gore to within 537 votes of Bush.
Gore has been given to contest the figures certified Sunday night when
election officials declared Bush the winner of the state's 25 electoral votes.
Bush's team asked Sauls yesterday to expand his order and bring approximately one million ballots from the counties to the state capital — and not just the disputed ballots requested by Gore.
"Defendants believe that fairness requires, at a minimum, that if the ballots in Miami-Dade or Palm Beach counties requested by plaintiffs are produced, defendants should be permitted to discover all of the ballots from those two counties." Bush lawyers said in a letter to Sauls.
With legal papers flying into the courts, developments erupted on every legal front. Among them:
■ Circuit Court Judge Nikki Clark set a Dec. 6 trial date for challenges to results in Seminole County, where a Democratic activist has accused Republicans of tampering with absentee ballot applications and is seeking to have more than 15,000 votes thrown out. If that case is successful, it would cost Bush about 4,800 votes.
The Florida Supreme Court extended briefing time until yesterday afternoon to decide whether it should consider the "butterfly ballot" issue in Palm Beach, a claim that voters were so confused by that ballot form they voted for the wrong person.
Economy shows signs of slowing
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The U.S. economy slowed dramatically during the summer to a growth rate of just 2.4 percent, the weakest pace in four years, as the Federal Reserve's inflation-fighting campaign began to pinch.
The growth rate, down from an original estimate a month age of 2.7 percent, still left economists predicting that the economy can achieve the Fed's hoped-for soft landing, although they expressed concerns about possible risks.
The Commerce Department released revised figures showing that the gross domestic product—the total output of goods and services—grew at a slower pace during the July-September quarter than previously believed. Growth in the spring had been a sizzling 5.6 percent.
"I still think we are going to have a soft landing, but the cloud on the horizon is getting bigger," said David Wyss, chief economist at Standard & Poor's in New York. "If the Middle East explodes or if the
The Fed has raised interest rates six times since June 1999 to dampen consumer and business spending enough to keep inflation under control.
Wyss said the last U.S. recession in 1990-91 and two previous downturns in the 1980s and 1970s were caused by soaring oil prices stemming from Mideast tensions.
current minor stock market correction turns into something major, then we could get a hard landing."
The GDP report showed that housing construction, buffered by higher mortgage rates in the spring, had fallen at an annual rate 10.5 percent in the summer. That was an even bigger drop than previously reported.

'Horns to head to Holiday Bowl
The Associated Press
SAN DIEGO — The Holiday Bowl has hooked the Texas Longhorns for its game Dec. 29.
Or, as Texas coach Mack Brown sees it, the 'Horns hooked the Holiday Bowl. "I feel the Holiday Bowl is really excited about this team, but they can't be more excited about us than we are about going," Brown said after the Longhorns accepted the invitation yesterday.
The No. 12 Longhorns (9-2) have a lot to look forward to on their first trip to San Diego, which happens to be the hometown of Ricky Williams, who won the Helsman Trophy at Texas in 1998.
The Longhorns wanted to play in this game not only for the chance to play a
Top 10 team from the Pacific-10 Conference and perhaps finish in the Top 10 themselves, but also for recruiting exposure in Southern California.
"They really, really want to be here," Holiday Bowl executive director John Reid said.
The Holiday Bowl would like to bring in No. 5 Oregon State (10-1), but the Beavers remain in the Bowl Championship Series picture. If the Beavers receive an invitation to a BCS game on Sunday, the Holiday Bowl will invite No. 9 Oregon (9-2).
Regardless of the opponent, Brown got a head start on scouting.
"I got the Oregon-Oregon State film out today and started watching it," he said during a conference call. "I figured
that's about all we can do between now and Sunday."
The Longhorns are on a six-game winning streak going into their third straight bowl game under Brown and their 40th overall.
"We are so excited about this trip because I think it fits our year." Brown said. "The opponent fits our need to play somebody really good in the end to continue to get better because we've
talked about fighting to get in the Top 10 the last three years."
Texas is coming off a 43-17 win over Texas A&M in which sophomore quarterback Chris Simms, the son of former New York Giants quarterback Phil Simms, had a breakout game with 383 yards passing and three touchdowns.
Simms started the last two games in place of Major Applewhite, who has a sprained right knee. Brown said the Longhorns would know more about Applewhite's status next week when they started running some passing drills around study sessions for final exams.
The Longhorns are the first team from the Big 12 South to play in the Holiday Bowl, which is sponsored by Culligan. Each team receives $1.9 million.
Pitcher narrows list of teams to 3
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Mike Mussina apparently has narrowed his list of teams to the New York Yankees, New York Mets and Boston Red Sox. And he probably won't re-sign with Baltimore.
Arn Tellem, the agent for the right-hander, said Monday his client cut his list of teams under consideration to three, and the Red Sox and the New York teams said Tuesday they still were in contention.
The Yankees think they are the favorites, but the Red Sox and Mets believe they still have a chance.
"I wouldn't handicap them other than to say we've made a very substantial and aggressive financial offer," Red Sox general manager Dan Duquette said Tuesday.
Tellem said Mussina, the most sought-after pitcher on the freeagent market, wanted to make a decision by the end of the week. Neither Tellem nor Orioles owner Peter Angelos could be contacted Tuesday.
The Yankees wouldn't comment — owner George Steinbrenner has imposed a gag order on his employees — but a high-ranking baseball official, speaking on the condition
of anonymity, said they were negotiating with Tellem.
Yankees manager Joe Torre has made it clear that signing Mussina is his No. 1 priority, and several of his players have called the pitcher, telling him why he should join the three-time World Series champions.
"We've had our share of people put in the appropriate recruiting phone calls," Mets general manager Steve Phillips said. "Mike Mussina has probably talked to more of his opponents in the last two weeks than he's probably talked to in his long career."
Mussina, who will be 32 on Dec. 8, is 147-81 in his career after going 11-15 with a 3.79 ERA for the Orioles last season. Like the New York teams, the Red Sox have tried to convince him he best off with them.
"Yes, some of our players and staff have talked to Mike about the merits of playing in Boston," Duquette said.
While Mussina has spent his entire career with Baltimore, the Mets said they have an advantage if he's looking to make a major change.
"We are the only National League team, I guess, in the pool," Phillips said. "If he's looking for change that includes change of leagues, we have a pretty good shot, given that we're the only National League team."
Carruth admitted to killing former girlfriend testifies
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — As his pregnant girlfriend lay wounded, Rae Carruth confessed to planning her shooting and said he wished she would die, a former girlfriend testified yesterday.
"He said, 'I can't get in trouble, can I, because I didn't actually pull the trigger?' " Candace Smith said. "He said police could check his car and his clothes and not find any gunpowder."
Smith told jurors that the former NFL receiver also told her that he paid men involved in the shooting in small sums spread across time to avoid raising suspicions and that he "saw the guys pull up and shoot into her car."
Carruth, 26, is charged with first-degree murder in the Nov. 16, 1999, shooting of Cherica Adams, who was eight months pregnant. Witnesses have testified that Adams was shot as she drove behind Carruth's car after a movie. One co-defendant has testified that Carruth planned the shooting to avoid child-support payments.
Carruth has pleaded not guilty to the charges, and his attorney has said he was not present when Adams was shot. Smith said Carruth told her that Adams had refused to have an abortion and that he once talked about getting someone to hit her to induce a
miscarriage.
Carruth could be executed if convicted of arranging Adams' killing. Adams, 24, gave birth to a son, who is in the custody of Adams' mother. Adams died about a month after the baby was born by Caesarean section the night of the shooting.
A police officer testified that Carruth acted suspiciously at the hospital before any charges were filed.
"Mr. Carruth turned to me and said, 'Are you guys going to take me out in handcuffs and put something over my head to hide my face when we go out?'" Officer Kevin Wallin said.
The new testimony against Carruth came after nearly two days of cross-examination by defense lawyers of codedefendant Michael Kennedy, who drove the shooter's car.
Kennedy, a prosecution witness testifying without immunity, stuck to the story he told last week that Carruth hatched a plan to kill Adams to avoid paying child support. Carruth already was paying another woman about $5,000 a month, Kennedy said.
Kennedy and another co-deendant, Stanley Drew "Boss" Abraham, are to be tried separately on murder charges. Co-deendant and confessed triggerman Van Brett Watkins confessed to shooting Adams, pleaded guilty to second-degree murder and agreed to testify against Carruth.
Beasley preps for meeting with Sooners
The Associated Press
MANHATTAN, Kan. — Jonathan Beasley is not a quarterback who is quick to forget a bad game. After he played poorly in a 41-15 loss to Nebraska last season, he taped the final score on his locker and stared at it every day, just as a reminder.
It's easy to guess what's on his mind this week considering his performance in No. 8 Kansas State's 41-31 loss to No. 1 Oklahoma earlier this season.
C
The senior quarterback is intent on correcting his 38.9 completion percentage as the Wildcats prepare for their second chance at the Sooners Saturday in the Big 12 Championship game in Kansas City.
Kansas State's offense sputtered in the previous meeting between the schools. Beasley passed for 211 yards, one of his worst performances of the season. Beasley was outplayed by his Oklahoma counterpart and Heisman Trophy contender Josh Heupel, who passed for a season-high 374 yards and completed 29 of 37 pass attempts.
Before that game, Beasley was considered as a Heisman contender, but Heupel won, and Beasley hasn't forgotten.
"I think it's a little too late now, the season's nearly over," Beasley said of overcoming Heupel in the national spotlight. "It will be exciting because there will be a lot of media there watching him. But I can't be worried about redemption. I just have to play my game."
Unlike against Nebraska, when Beasley shouldered the blame for the loss, he said that the entire offense struggled against the Sooners. Beasley's receivers Quincy Morgan and Aaron Lockett dropped eight passes.
"We let some passes get away from us," Morgan said. "We tried to make big plays too soon. That won't happen again though."
This time, Beasley said, the Wildcats are focused on playing better as a team.
"I don't think there's any pressure on me individually," Beasley said. "It's a team sport even though I'm in the profile."

Jason Richardson led Michigan State (4-0) with 16 points, while Andre Hutson had 14 points and nine rebounds.
Charlie Bell added 15 points as part of the Spartans' balanced attack. Kris Lang prevented North Carolina (3-1) from being routed by scoring a career-high 22 points on 11-of-16 shooting.
Michigan State extended the nation's longest winning streak to 15 games and won its 32nd straight home game, second only to Utah's 54 in a row at home. They led by 13 at halftime, and the Tar Heels were not able to slice the deficit to less than seven

Turnovers give Virginia victory
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — The ACC-Big Ten Challenge proved little challenge for No. 21 Virginia last night as the ballhawking Cavaliers forced 23 turnovers and ran away from the Boilermakers for a 98-79 victory.
Chris Williams and Donald Hand hand Virginia (4-0) 24 points each as it kept the best start since the 1992-93 season going. The Cavaliers won their first 11 games before splitting their final 20.

The Cavaliers turned 15 first half turnovers into 17 points en route to a 45-27 lead, then coaxed four more miscues early in the second half.
Virginia played at top speed throughout and either drove to the hoop or pounded the ball inside. The Cavaliers scored 22 of their first 32 points in close and had 13 second-chance points to

Joe Marshall led Purdue with 19 points, and Rodney Smith had 14.
Virginia finished with a 27-6 advantage in points off turnovers and a 19-10 edge in second-chance points.

Weak teams make Kansas play off-key
Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the show!
All day, all night, your favorite artists will be here performing your favorite songs, trying to convince Kansas basketball that what is good and what is right is a tougher schedule. Who says musicians don't fight for good causes?
Let's welcome our first act, Billy Ray Cyrus, to the big show! Billy, what do you think about Kansas playing a string of games against North Dakota, Boise State, Washburn, Middle Tennessee State and Illinois State?
Well, it's breaking my achy-breaky heart.
Couldn't have said it any better myself, Bill.
And Billy, wouldn't you say the Sioux, Twice-baked Potatoes, Ichabods and Blue Dragons have had as much of a chance at winning in Allen Fieldhouse as you've had of winning a Grammy?
Very funny
Jewel, welcome to the show!
Thanks for coming, Billy. Time for the second act.
Hi, nice to be here. I'm glad I can help out. Kansas' schedule has been completely unfair to the fans, who deserve to see the Jayhawks play top-tier opponents every night. This schedule is as crooked as my teeth.
But I loved watching Kansas play big games. I love seeing them play Michigan State or other top schools on a regular basis. I want to see Dickie V and ABC. I don't like the easy wins. If you want them easy, go find Britney or Christina.
Yeah, Jewel, but Coach Roy Williams said he wanted to tone down tough early season games. He said that Kansas playing tough teams early last season did not help, and when push came to shove in the NCAA tournament draw, the Jayhawks were hurt because they had more losses.
Jewel, you're on ...
And these ... foolish non-conference games ... are tearing me, they're tearing me, they're tearing me apart.
Ah, that was great Jewel. We know how much you love civic causes. But let's make sure to take a moment to remember that Kansas will play a few tough games. It already played UCLA and St. Johns and will face No. 12 Wake Forest on Dec. 7. Other than the Sooners, though, there's nobody to stop Kansas. Only Oklahoma (Jan. 13) is ranked in the Top 25.
Ricky Martin, welcome to the show! What do you think about Kansas' offense?
It should score as easily as me. The 'Hawks will kick some bon bon.
Ladies and Gentleman, we have a special musical surprise! Please welcome Luke Axtell to the stage! Luke's a shooting guard on the basketball team, and he's just come out with a new CD and ... huh? What?
Oh ... he can't advertise ... not during the season? Rules violation?
Aw, heck with it ...
Luke, you can't play. You're gonna get in trouble.

Lackluster defense could hurt Jayhawks
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Tense but not enough defense.
A lot of offense but not enough defense. That's the gist of Kansas coach Roy Williams' impression of his team in the first month. Even though Kansas is a perfect 6-0 and currently ranked No. 2 in the nation, Williams said the team was far-from-perfect.
"You can't be a great team if you don't guard people," he said. "And we've got to get better at that."
So far, the Jayhawks' lack of defense has not mattered because Kansas is blasting its opponents by an average of 25 points per game. Kansas will try to keep that streak tonight when it faces Illinois State at 7 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse.
Williams said this year's offense was so potent it could be one of the best in Kansas history.
"We are one of the best offensive teams I have ever had," he said. "We're not there right now, but I think we'll be one of the top two or three offensive teams I've had in my 13 years."
The 94.2 points per game average from the team this year is ahead of the 1989-90 team, which set the school record by averaging 92.1 points.
The reason for the offensive dominance is simple, Williams said. This year's Jayhawks don't have a glaring offensive weakness.
"Number one, we have guys that can shoot," he said. "And we have guys that can shoot with range. We have guys that can score inside. We have guys that can rebound the ball off the offensive board and get a second opportunity."
Williams said the only thing this year's team couldn't do was play defense.
"In '97, with that bunch, we shoot 26 percent and win at Kansas State," Williams said. "The only way you can do that is by guarding the dickens out of people. This team we have now hasn't shown that they can do that. And until we show that we can do that, we won't be as good as we want to be."
Senior center Eric Chenowith agreed that the team needed to be more intense on defense. He said the lack of effort on defense the last four games had a lot to do with the Jayhawks' competition.
"Picking up the intensity on defense will help more than anything," he said. "But the last four games we've averaged a 35-point win. It's just human nature not to be as intense on defense when you're up by 30."
Kansas Basketball Notes
Allen Fieldhouse could once again become Super Mario's world tonight.
Freshman point guard Mario Kinsey was scheduled to play a limited role in practice yesterday. Depending on how Kinsey's surgically-repaired left leg responds to the practice, he may see limited playing time tonight.
Kinsey has missed Kansas' last two games after having surgery to ease the pain of overstress on his left leg.

Huge task awaits Redbirds
Illinois State coach hopes his players will be competitive
By Chris Wristen
Kansan sportswriter
When Illinois State comes into Allen Fieldhouse tonight for its 7:05 game against No.2 Kansas, the Redbirds' quest for an improbable victory will bring them into the dangerous realm of ... the Manwich.
The Manwich is the nickname coined by Kansas sophomore forward Nick Collison in describing Kansas' forest of big men, including himself, fellow sophomore forward David Gooden and senior center Eric Chenowith.
The Kansas big men, and pretty much everything else shy of the team's trainers and Don's Steakhouse food, strike fear into Illinois State coach Tom Richardson.
"There's a lot of disadvantages in this game," Richardson said. "The major challenge is Kenny Gregory and Gooden and Chenowith and Collison and (Kirk) Hinrich and (Jeff) Boschee and (Luke) Axtell and Coach (Roy) Williams and Allen Fieldhouse."
Richardson has watched enough of the Kansas horror flicks to know how dangerous the Jayhawks will be.
"I've been watching too much tape on KU," he said. "The more I watch, the more frightful I get, so I'm not going to watch any more."
To be fair, Williams watched his fair share of game tape, too. But while Richardson was scared because of what he saw on the tape, Williams couldn't bear to watch Southern Illinois' tape because of its poor quality.
"I started looking last night but it was so bad," Williams said. "The tape was so blurry and it shakes. It's not like I could call up the cable company and tell 'em to fix it."
Regardless, Williams saw enough of the tape to know his team will have to be prepared defensively.
"They are sound fundamentally, and one kid got 40 (points) against Miami (Fla.) last year," Williams said. "We'll make sure we know his number."
That player was junior guard Tarise Bryson. He led Illinois State in scoring last year and posted 16 points in the season-opening 88-46 win against Chicago State.
Beyond Bryson, two more players the Jayhawks will have to watch out for are transfers Traves Wilson and Rich Beyers. Wilson transferred from Arizona and Beyers from Illinois — two programs that are ranked in the Top 10. Richardson said both players were adjusting gradually to the Illinois State program.
"Both are doing well," he said. "Wilson is starting for us, and Beyers came of the bench to score 13 points in our first
"I've been watching too much tape on KU. The more I watch, the more frightful I get, so I'm not going to watch any more."

game."
The Redbirds will need both players to come along quickly if they are going to hang with Kansas — or any opponent this season. The win against Chicago State was a confidence builder for a team that won just 10 games and lost 20 last year.
"Last year was miserable, it truly was," Richardson said. "Our front line was decimated with injuries. We had a kid leave the team that we were counting on. It was just ugly. I'm proud of the kids for winning 10 games because we were outmanned physically."
Richardson said he hoped his team would play its best tonight and wouldn't get embarrassed.
"The greatest fear is going in there and being intimidated, and they knock you out easily," Richardson said. "You just hopefully take that initial thrust that they seem to give, and hopefully your players can settle down and be competitive."

Junior guard fulfills expectations
First-year player starts off season with strong play
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Five games into the women's basketball schedule, and the Jayhawks are starting to come together.
Some bumps were and will be in the road, but junior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp is working herself into the Kansas system.
Hilgenkamp is making the most progress of any of the first-year players. She is averaging a shade less than 10 points per game and set a career-high with nine assists against Illinois on Tuesday.
She came through when it was most important, feeding senior forward Jaclyn Johnson a quick two to start the second half.
She also said seeing someone else score because of her pass made her as happy as her scoring.
"I think passing is a great thing." Hilgenkamp said.
Twice she fed Johnson in the low post for easy layups, which set the tone for the second-half shellacking of Illinois.
She is hitting 54 percent of her shots, which includes 4-of-5 shooting from beyond the arc. That total could have been pushed to 6-of-7 had Hilgenkamp not had a toe on the three-point line.
But she said she didn't care where she was, as long as there was an open shot.
But don't think Hilgenkamp looks only to pass.
With Hilgenkamp's production at the offensive end, it is easy to overlook her defensive abilities. But Washington said she noticed it immediately.
"I just had my hands ready to shoot," she said. "I really wasn't looking where I was at."
With Hilgenkamp on the floor the entire second half, the 'Hawks limited Illinois' three best scoring threats to 16 points.
That is exactly what Hilgenkamp and the rest of the Kansas backcourt did against the Illini.
"What I really enjoyed seeing in K.C. was her intensity level," Washington said. "When you match up with the players that Illinois has, we really needed to work hard to stay with them and keep the pressure on them."
Washington touted Hilgenkamp as one of the best combination guards in the country. With her improvement on offense and defense, Washington said Hilgenkamp had met all her expectations.
"We knew that all the guards on Illinois are really good players." Hilgenkamp said. "I think that the team has really come together, and I think that's what got us the win."

A motherly middle-aged woman who looks like she would be more at home in a supermarket than a sex store holds up two erotic videos and two large vibrators. She asks Julia Katz, the sales clerk, to install batteries in the vibrators to make certain they work. She wants to use them right when she cuts home空调
Sex naraphermaia
This, Dailey said, is an example of the human attraction template at work. He said the attraction template was made up of the physical things that attracted one person to another, and that the template was completely different for everybody.

Although turn-ons can be exciting and even fun, they also serve two very serious purposes. Physical and sexual turn-ons help attract people to relationships and help them maintain them because the physical part of the relationship — sex — is supposed to be

Although lack of attraction might seem like a small thing the couple can work through, "in the long haul it's deadly as hell to a primary relationship," Dailey said.
Dailey said some people even denied they had turn-ons and that they are unaffected by anything sexual. In reality, most people know exactly what it is that turns them on but are too embarrassed to act on their urges, no doubt.

*strong user turn-ons and should try to ork through the societal message that "sex's bad, sex is dirty, sex is wrong." Dailey decries societal labels of sexual turn-ons as either "normal" or "strange/weird." "The acceptable notions about sexual intercourse are missionary position, man on top, that's the way it's supposed to be," he said. "So any other variations on positions are thought to be just a little bit strange — even though they're a lot of fun."
In when people in a relationship discover that they are not sexually attracted to their partner, the relationship suffers. They regularly counsel couples who are in relationships where the partners are best friends and they love each other very much, but the sexual attraction is missing.

Two University of Kansas students eye a wall of vibrators and other sex toys at Princillo's, 1206 W. 23rd St., to broaden their sexual horizons.
Dennis Dailey, professor of social welfare and teacher of the popular Human Sexuality and Everyday Life course and campus "sexpert," said that everybody got off on different things and that one person's turn-on could be another person's turn-off. He considers sexual variability the real命世 life of.
Although immediate attraction isn't the magic ingredient that makes a relationship perfect — or even probable — the sexual park is also of lasting importance in serious relationships. Dialy said.

Comedy show to feature Kansas alumni, students
Entertainment Briefs
"If it's humor that tends to be a bit blue," said Jeremy Auman, director and former KU student. "You wouldn't see it on regular TV, more like on HBO."
The Card Table Theater will produce its Victor Continental Show at 10 p.m. tomorrow and Saturday at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St.
The Victor Continental Show is a comedy/variety show made up mostly of former and current KU students and includes a live music show and an adult puppet show.
Aumn said the show was similar to Saturday Night Live meets the Ed Sullivan Show.
Tickets are $6 in advance for students, $7 in advance for the public. Tickets are $8 the day of the show. Advance tickets are available at Liberty Hall; Round Corner Cheese and Salami Shoppe, 801 Massachusetts St.; Wheatfields Bakery, 904 Vermont St.; and G. Willikers Deli and Bar, 733 Massachusetts St.

A public reading of the Fall 2000 issue of The Kiosk, an art and literature magazine put together by KU students, will be at 8 tonight at the Kansas Room on the sixth floor of the Kansas Union. The reading will feature the published writers in The Kiosk reading the works published in the magazine.
Public reading to showcase Kiosk magazine writers
Luke Alberg, Pratt senior and Kiosk editor in chief, said hearing the works read by the artists who created them would give listeners a voice to put with the words.
"People can definitely see their emotion, where they're coming from through expressions, body movements and tone of voice," he said. "It will be the artist's own interpretation of the material."
JUSTICE
The Kioki comprises poetry, fiction, art and drama and is published every semester. This issue will be the 23rd. Students can pick up a free copies on campus tomorrow.
Alberg said The Kiosk was an example of the creative talent of the University of Kansas and the artistic influences in the Lawrence community.
Alberg said submissions for the Spring 2001 Kiosk would be accepted beginning early next semester.

"We definitely encourage anyone to submit," Alberg said. "We're open to a variety of different items. We'd probably even accept song lyrics."

Repeat public nudist sent to jail — again
PEKIN, III. — One man may not be grinning about spending the holidays in jail, but chances are he'll bare it.
Robert Norton, 77, is better known as the Pekin Nudist. He has been arrested at least 20 times since 1962 for shedding his clothes in public and maintains that his right to full exposure is protected by the Constitution.
Norton, who is his own attorney,
repeated his theory in court yesterday.
In an attempt to justify his Aug.
7 nude stroll through his front yard,
he pointed to a newspaper article
about deaths resulting from last summer's heat wave in Chicago.
But Judge Richard McCoy appeared unimpressed.
He found Norton guilty of disorderly conduct and imposed 29 days' confinement, the maximum penalty for the misdemeanor offense. Norton was ordered to serve the sentence starting Feb. 22, when he is slated to complete a one-year term under way for assaulting a jail guard earlier this year.
$48,000 in stray bills returned; $17,000 left
SEATTLE — It took four days, but a man who found $48,000 cash on the freeway has returned the money to its rightful owner.
"We are very pleased with his horizet," said Lee Richardson, general manager of Loomis-Wells Fargo, Monday.
During rush hour last Wednesday,
$65,000 spilled from a Loomis-Wells
Fargo truck, with cash covering three
northbound lanes of interstate 5.
Only a few hundred dollars had
"When people have that much money in cash in their possession, they tend to like to look at it for a litte white," Richard said.
tricked in by Saturday, Richardson said. But Sunday, a man coughed up $48,000 of the missing dough.
Why did it take so long?
The man, whose identity was not disclosed, will get 10 percent — or $4,800 — for beating a 7 p.m. Monday deadline to return stash cash
Now, those holding any share of the $17,000 still outstanding face arrest by police, who said cash scavengers — and their license plates — were captured on video tape and will be tracked.
Only a few hundred dollars had
Mexican town makes record amount of guac
MEXICO CITY — Break out the tortilla
tilia料 and lots of 'em.
In an attempt to enter the Guinness Book of Records, spoon-wielding residents of an avocado-growing town in central Michoacan on Monday whipped up 1,930 pounds of guacamole.
A record of 1,810 pounds was set last year in Australia.
Residents plan to send the Guinness foundation a videotape and witness testimony of the process in hopes of capturing the new title.
Their effort constituted 60 people applying five hours of muscle power to 2,840 pounds of avocado pulp, 240 pounds of onion, 250 pounds of tomato, 33 pounds of chill pepper, 33 pounds of cilantro, 13 gallons of lime juice and 15 pounds of salt.
Mayor Rafael Eira Quesada claims his town's guacamole outranks the dip made by the reigning champs of Queenland, Australia, both in quantity and quality. The difference, he says.
is that his townpeople used chile peppers, a Mexican mainstay, and better avocados.
Rotten salmon not fit for man, fine for dogs
BRISTOL BAY, Alaska — When King Triton Fisheries declared bankruptcy this year and abandoned its Wood River operations, it left behind 20,000 pounds of putrid sockeye salmon in a container.
Not to worry — the mush dogs will eat it.
Northland Services employee Steve Hardin pushed to use the rotten salmon to feed hungry dogs in areas where too few fish have left mushrers wondering how to feed their dogs this winter.
To reclaim the container, Hardin faced the problem of disposing the fish. The fish weren't fit for human consumption because they had soured when the water in the holding tanks wasn't changed.
121-year-old seeds bloom in experiment
EAST LANSING, Mich. — Seeds buried by a botanist 1.21 years ago have bloomed into bright yellow flowers.
In 1879, botany professor William Beal put seeds of mullein plants in 20 glass bottles and buried them on the campus of what is now Michigan State University. He wanted to see how long the seed would continue to germinate.
He directed one bottle to be dug up every five years. To extend the experiment, the intervals were lengthened to every 10 and then every 20 years.
Last April, the 15th bottle, containing 1,050 seeds, was unearthed, and
Oddities
the seeds were set out in a growth chamber. Twenty-five seedlings, nearly all moth mullein, grew. They now are in greenhouses.
The plants recently started blooming.
"It's a beautiful, bright yellow flower," said Frank Teelewski, curator of W.J. Beal Botanical Garden and an associate professor at Michigan State.
Five of Beal's buried bottles remain, with the next scheduled to be dug up in 2020, the Detroit Free Press reported Saturday.
VICTORIA, Texas — Wanted:
Wolfish handsome, outgoing male
willing to help keep the species round
Texas zoo looking for rousing red wolf
willing to help keep the species going.
Almost two years after the death of
Rusty, a red wolf credited with helping
bring the vanishing species back from
the blink of extinction, Victoria's
Texas Zoo has begun the search for
his replacement.
"We're very excited about it," head zookeeper Carla Grutzmacher said in Friday's editions of The Victoria Advocate. "We really wish Rusty. He was a favorite of everybody here."
Rusty fathered 19 pups, 17 of which lived — so many that authorities had to remove him from a breeding program in 1991 because they feared his large number of offspring would lead to interbreeding in the species
The 12-year-old wolf was put to sleep in March 1999 after developing arthritis in his back and neck. "They said he had done his job — maybe too well," Grutzmacher said.
About 300 red wolves exist in captivity. None are believed to live in the wild.

Brazilian Guitar Quartet Bach: Four Suites for Orchestra
Orchestra
This year marks the 250th anniversary of the death of Johann Sebastian Bach, the master Baroque composer. You don't have to
be familiar with his work or even classical music to enjoy the Brazilian Guitar Quartet's take on Bach.
its new release serves as a great introduction to the artistry of Bach's
instrumental writing. Originally intended for an orchestra, the members of the quartet arranged the music for four guitars. To add another twist, members Paul Galbraith and Everton Gloedon play their guitars like cellos, with the endpins resting on the floor. Any guitar aficionado should explore this CD just for the innovations in guitar playing.
The quartet brings a beautiful, litting sound to the "Orchestral Suites." In one of the most
recognized pieces, "Air" from "Suite no. 3," the guitarists weave together different musical lines, creating a sound that is both sorrowful and hopeful. The "Sarabande" from the "Second Suite" is another jawel among the riches offered on this album. The "Overture to the First Suite" reveals Bach's genius, taking a short tune and creating a universe with it. The quartet skillfully brings out the tune.
Bach: Four Suites for Orchestra as performed by the Brazilian Guitar Quartet has just been released on the Delos label and can be ordered through www.delosmus.com.

Tupac Shakur — The Rose That Grew From Concrete, Volume I
Tupac Shakur spent his life filling a variety of roles: entertainer, spokesman, criminal, musician and poet. Today, in a post-mortem release compiled in his honor, Tupac's legacy
continues with a new role — teacher.
A brilliant lyricist in life, Tupac's words live in the voices of his friends and fellow performers on The Rose That Grew From Concrete, Volume I. The powerful words and stories in his personal poetry collection inspired performers such as Mos Def, Reverend Run
Danny Glover, Q-Tip, Malcom Jamal Warner and Quincy Jones to offer their musical and emotional interpretations for the 25-track compilation. Tupac's mother, Aften Shakur, was the driving force behind the project's
creation — she wanted her son's influential words to continue inspiring and educating the youth in today's urban society.
In the style of Tupac's song "You Are Appreciated," an ode to his mother, the poetry on this album is of swear words and full of history lessons and life stories.
The CD begins with Tupac, who encourages the use of rap music as an outlet for teaching youth about African-American history and the
From there, it dives into "Wake Me When I'm Free," a poem set to African music that discusses life as a prisoner of society and calls for equality among all people and freedom of expression.
world.
"Tears of a Teenage Mother," about a teenage mother and a deadbeat dad, urges teenage girls not to trust men. Reverend Run's heartfelt reading of "God," Tupac's prayer of faith in nobody but God, is a beautiful counterpoint to the previous poem.
Some of the most intriguing cuts on the album are the two versions of "Can U See the Pride in the Panther," read by Mos Def. The male version is like an anthem of pride for the Black Panthers. The following female version is less hard-hitting but illicits a new emotion and respect from Mos Def's voice.
The title track "The Rose that Grew from Concrete" is a personal story by Tupac's life, and his voice can be heard alongside Nikki Giovanni's. It discusses growing out of a difficult childhood and about conquering the odds and finding success in life.
"Sometimes I Cry" ventures further from
Tuapac's traditional rap anthems as it speaks of fear and loneliness in a world that does not care about people who fall through the cracks.
The boldest track is "In the Event of My Demise," performed by Outlawz and Geronimo Il Jaga, which offers deep insight into the mind of the rap icon. Tupac wrote about not fearing death, wanting to die for a purpose and having an impact on people.
"I shared my wisdom with the world/ they don't know I was here," his lyrics state. "Still I rise but never get a chance to fly/ mama please don't cry in the event of my demise."
Afeni Shakur keeps her son's messages alive with this album so the world can continue to hear his words.

Holiday sites offer festivity
As the chipmunks say, Christmas,
Christmas time is here. And I know a lot of
you are sick of it, and I know it's not really
PC, but I dig it. People (or at least non-related
people) try to be nicer to each other, and
more people are happy and think about the
good things — such as presents, ham and a
nice warm fire.
www
To give equal representation, I'll mention a few festive sites. The first is www.religious tolerance.org/winter_solstice.htm
— an informative site, with background info on the earliest December
A great site on Ramadan is islam.org/ramadan, where you can watch daily cybercerts of prayers and read excerpts from holy texts about fasting.
celebrations and every festival from today.
For the Jewish, there's an online dreidel. Grab some peppermint candy (or peppermint snacks if you're my family), and spin like mad. The site, www.billybear4kids.com/holidays/hanukkah, also has designs for constructing real dreidels.
Those of you who don't like Christmas may still get a kick out of www.nstorm.com. The purveyors of online games have a couple of holiday-themed games. Two words: elf bowling. And for the 2000 season, they've added elf shuffleboard. The games are rather addictive.
As George Carlin said, one of the best things to come out of religion is the music. A nicely designed site, www.checkuto.ns.ca/~ai251/xcarol.html has the lyrics to every Christmas carol I could think of.
And for both of you who have read this far, kansan.com is looking for people to help put together the site next semester. If you're interested, swing by 111 Stauffer-Flint to pick up an application and sign up for an interview.
And have a happy holiday, everyone. God (Allah, Buddha, Jehovah, whatever) bless us, every one.

Blair Witch 2. The sequel to the 1999 thriller. The videotape, which is the premise of the first Blair Witch — which has now been viewed by millions of people — has created curiosity and a huge tourist industry surrounding both the legend and the woods in Burkittsville, Md.

The film has been updated from the original TV show: the angels are now called "women" (not "little girls") in the Introductory voice-over, and they concentrate on strength and martial arts when they fight criminals because they no longer carry guns.

On the verge of blindness, Selma spends her days working in a factory, as well as performing other odd jobs, to save enough money to pay for an operation that will cure Gene's disease. To pass the time, Selma fantasizes that her own life is a musical, one in which her friends join her in sweeping song-and-dance routines. At Liberty Hall.

Sick fitness gurus should be careful
The following exercise do's and don't's are offered by www.IDEAFit.com:
Winter is a wonderfully festive time of year until you get sidelined with a stuffy nose or cough. Should you try to power through your usual workout or skip the gym altogether?
DO modify your exercise intensity. Vigorous exercise can reduce your ability to fight an infection. Moderate exercise is fine for mild cold symptoms, as long as your heart rate and body temperature don't increase excessively.
DON'T exercise with a fever, which usually signifies you're battling a virus. Exercising with a high temperature increases risk of dehydration, heatstroke and even heart failure.
DO return to exercise slowly. Exercise for two days at a lower intensity for each day you were sick. Give your body the time it needs to recover.
DON'T subject yourself to infection. Be alert to air-quality conditions at your training facility. During cold and flu seasons, try exercising when the gym is less crowded to avoid catching or transmitting viruses.
If you have any questions or comments email me at: lockey@hotmail.com.

Creed, U2, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Christina Aguilera and Bon Jovi will perform on the show. Metallica will test the online voting process, performing whichever song is selected by viewers.
"For us, it was just a fresh approach to a form that we felt was getting a little bit tired," he said. Nearly 3 million people have voted for winners, according to VH1.
Sykes said he was intrigued by the idea of an awards show without envelopes accounting firms or behind-the-scenes experts that nobody knows. The-growth of the Internet made it possible for viewers to do it all.
In addition to traditional categories such as man, woman, group and song of the year, VH1 is trying to have a little fun. Viewers will give "awards" for the most entertaining public feud, the sexiest video and the category, "your song kicked (butt) but was played too damn much."
Because VHI's target audience of 25-to-34-year-olds is older than MTV's demographic, expect a comparatively sedate affair. But it's still rock 'n' roll, with the band Creed leading with nine nominations and Red Hot Chili Peppers with seven.
VH1 to launch music awards show tonight
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — VHI's sister channel, MTV, holds a successful awards show each September that is better known for the flamboyant antics of music stars than for the meaning of its trophies.
"We'd been waiting patiently to find the right opportunity to launch an awards show that didn't look like anybody else's," said John Sykes, VH1 president.
For a decade and a half, VH1 has been content not to even try competing.
Today, however, the network is getting into the awards show business. My VH1 Music Awards, with categories designed and decided by viewers voting online, will air live at 9 p.m. ET from the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

Snowmobiling in Wisconsin flourishes despite opposition
The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE — Wisconsin may have lost its milk production crown to California, and its cheese production lead may be slipping, but there's still plenty of the white stuff.
So much snow, in fact, that when it comes to snowmobiling, Wisconsin has turned its abundant natural resource to its advantage, despite environmental critics and restrictions.
Among the 27 states with snowmobile trails, Wisconsin has the most extensive trail system, the most snowmobile clubs and a growing share of the more than four million snowmobilers in the United States and Canada.
Even though some people are getting tired of the machines roaring across their property, the number of registered snowmobiles in Wisconsin
increased from 155,000 during the 1999-91 season to 214,000 last year.
Even more are expected by the time Wisconsin's trails open tomorrow, said Karl Brooks, a department of Natural Resources snowmobile administrator.
And that's not counting the tens of thousands of riders who come from other states every year.
Rural landowners historically have been generous in granting passage, but as the state's northern counties become more developed and land prices rise, negotiating easements through private property is getting tougher, said Brooks, the DNR administrator.
you an easement' because it might affect their ability to sell."
Local officials are sympathetic.
"It's a way of economic life for a lot of small towns," he said.
"The No. 1 problem for snowmobilers is losing access to federally controlled public land," said Ed Klim, president of the International, Association of Snowmobile Manufacturers. "There are people in Washington who want to close them off to anyone who's not an animal."
National Forest Service representative Paul Strong said snowmobiling was a big part of northern Wisconsin culture.
Last year, 43,000 snowmobilers came from out of state, helping pump $1 billion into the economy, much of it to mom-and-pop motels, supper clubs and taverns, Langor said.
RENO, Nev. — Gordon Lightfoot's career as a singer-songwriter now spans more than four decades, but for him, the songs don't grow old.
Lightfoot stars in his first U.S. television special, Gordon Lightfoot: Live in Reno, which airs on many PBS stations beginning this weekend (check local listings.)
"The songs have a life of their own, and I never get tired of singing them," he said.
The one-hour special — taped here before a capacity crowd of 1,600 earlier this year — features 14 of his
biggest hits, including "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald," "Carefree Highway," "If You Could Read My Mind" and "Sundown."
"The question still arises as to whether I'm still active." Lightfoot, 62, said in a phone interview from his Toronto home. "I want people to know I'm still out there."
In the 1970s, Lightfoot garnered five Grammy nominations, three platinum records and nine gold records for albums and singles.
Performer stars in TV special
The Associated Press
Other Lightfoot standards in the one-hour special include "Rainy Day People," "Canadian Railroad Trilogy," "Early Morning Rain" and "Don Quixote."

Black leather, thigh-high boots and a tight skirt are turn-ons for men as well as women. A 60-year-old man purchased a pair of these boots for himself from Priscilla's. 1206 W. 23rd St.
These black thigh-high boots were made for...

face. For Katz, it's all in a day's work.
"You know why I love my job? make people happy. I sell you sex, or the best supplement to," she said, gesturing at a wall in the store festooned with every shape and size of vibrator, clitoral stimulator and butt plug.
Katz thinks sex should be celebrated.
"I think people should have good, healthy sex," she said. "I think people should be more open about it and try newer things."
"Every woman should have a vibrator," she said.
As she pointed out the most popular type of vibrators, she admitted that in the six months she has worked at Priscilla's, 1206 W. 23rd St., she had found out more about her own sexuality.
But, Katz said many Priscilla's customers were too shy to think about experimenting.
Katz partially credited Priscilla's for her new-found sexual adventures with items such as flavored lubricants, handcuffs and body paint.
"People will come in and be embarrassed to ask me a question," she said. "And I'm sitting here thinking, 'Why are you embarrassed to talk to me about this?'"
Katz can rattle off the pluses and minuses and pleasures and pains of most of the sex toys she sells.
"We have a lot of little kits that give a little bit of this, a little bit of
that," she said. "Maybe some of them have a little set of plastic handcuffs or a tiny, little fun whip I think people should try that!"
Fetish or turn-on?
Sometimes people find one thing that turns them on, and they become obsessed with it. Dailey said this kind of obsession was no longer a simple turn-on but had become what therapists called a fetish. Dailey said that although almost anything could be a turn-on, very few were fetishes.
A fetish is a narrow, driven, compulsive preference for only a certain kind of sexual behavior or object, he explained. Without this object — and it can be anything—the sexual experience won't be satisfying.
"A person with a clothing fetish looks at Victoria's Secret because of the specifics of the clothing and the erotic stuff attached to that." Dailey said. "As a matter of fact, he's more interested in the clothing than what's in the clothing. Your normal average guy is not particularly interested in the clothing, he's interested in what's under the clothing."
Dailey said the difference between a fetish and a turn-on is the narrow focus on the turn-on instead of the partner. He used a Victoria's Secret catalog as an example.
Noel Smith, Lenexa sophomore,
says for him the focus is clothing,
or more specifically, white cotton
panties.
Smith said that he had had sex with women who refused to don white panties but that sex without panties was not nearly as satisfying.
"When there are panties involved, or if I have someone else's panties, there's almost a sense of satisfaction there," he said. "It heightens everything. It heightens the sexual arousal."
Smith said his sexual fascination began when he glimpsed a girl's panties in a junior high math class. From there, his obsession grew. He now owns more than 20 pairs of panties that he keeps in a drawer by his bed. Most are white cotton. Smith said that he took most of them from women he had slept with but that some were from KU residence hall rooms.
"There is a certain something to a girl not knowing that you've got them, that you took them and she does not know that," he said. "That's definitely a thrill — to take them is a thrill."
He is really excited when he catches a glimpse of panties through a skirt or peeking over the top of low-slung jeans, he said.
"The fact that girls are supposed to keep that hidden makes it erotic, makes it taboo." Smith said.
Dailey stressed that unusual didn't mean sick. He said that most of the time when people struggled with a fetish, it wasn't the fetish itself causing the problem, but rather society's uptightness with a variation from the "normal" missionary-style sex.
Dailey said that stealing panties and focusing on them signaled obsessive, fetishistic tendencies but that thus fetishes were not common. Fewer than 5 percent of people have fetishes, and only about a handful of KU students come to
Dailey each year with fetishrelated problems or questions.
"What we really need to do is to help you to internalize your fetish and experience it less shamefully, and then seek a consensual partner to participate with you," Dailey said.
"Most students on this campus come from uptight homes, come from families that didn't talk about sex or they didn't get sex education," he said.
ashamed of the "strange" and settle for the "normal" has caused many people to become uncomfortable with their turn-ons — fetishistic or not — which Dailey calls unfortunate.
The fact that many people are
He said most students went to high schools where sex education "was very narrow: reproduction, physiology, anatomy and contraception. They didn't learn about orgasms."
Chocolate-flavored body paint is one of many sex toys available for couples.
Other products include swings, games and pornography.
The embarrassment factor
This lack of information leads to a heightened sense of fear regarding anything that could be considered sexual.
For example, Dailey said that many people, especially women, were embarrassed to walk into a store such as Priscilla's and say they wanted sex toys such as vibrators because they were worried about being classified as bad or dirty by society.
"Women don't go in and assert their sexuality because asserting your sexuality in this culture is troublesome," he said. "If women know about sex, enjoy sex, pursue sex, they are whores or sluts. If men know about sex, pursue sex, enjoy sex, they're described as men."
Dailey said women who were not comfortable with their sexuality were cheating themselves.
Almost all of the men raise their hands immediately.
"There's no penns on the planet that can out-move a vibrator," Dailey said.
"One or two might not," he said.
"And only one of those might not have— the other one is lying."
But, when he asks the women, only about half raise their hands.
Dailey said that when he talks to his 500-person sexuality class about masturbation, he first asks the men and then the women this question: How many of you have masturbated?
"My question would be, jeez,
women's clitorises are a lot more
sensitive than men's penises," he
said. "Why would there be this lag?
Why would there be this delay?"
Dailey blamed the difference on societal messages that said women should not be sexual without a man and that women should not know about or even like sex.
Dailey said this attitude can lead to problems.
"A lot of men do ask women 'What would you like, how would you like me to touch you, what do you enjoy, what turns you on?' Dailey said. "And there are 40 percent of women on this campus at least who are going to say, 'I don't know.' Why? Because they've never touched themselves."
He said society also sent men sexual messages that caused problems
"Men have been instructed to choose someone and make sure she's sexually pleasured," Dailey said. "And if she doesn't come, it's your fault. There's something wrong with you."
That expectation — and the guilt it engenders — is a turn-off in a world that needs more turn-ons, he said.
The end result
Katz, the Priscilla's clerk, said one of her favorite customers was guilt-free. She recalled how a distinguished looking man who was in his 60s and dressed in a suit and tie walked into the store. He started looking at the wide range of shoes and boots and finally found what he wanted — thigh-high, black leather, high-heeled boots. He asked Katz if they were available in size 11.
Katz assumed he was looking for a present for a large girlfriend.
She described how he took the boots into the fitting room, came out wearing the boots, and "walked around in them saying 'Oh, I'm just testing them out—seeing if they walk right.' Go you," she remembered thinking to herself.
Although some might see the man's behavior as deviant, it's just another turn-on. Dailey said.
According to Dailey, being able to walk into a sex shop and be comfortable with a turn-on is simply "getting smarter about what it means to be a sexual human being."
