Students will receive grades via mail, e-mail
By Jennifer Valadez

Kansas staff writer
Student and faculty feedback revealed concerns of security and legal issues surrounding electronic distribution of students' grades, but administrators are confident in the plan.
However, Marla Herron, assistant registrar, said that the University decided Wednesday that all students
would also receive hard copies by U.S. mall because the e-mail plan was still in its developing stages.
"Everything is just the same, everybody will get their grades by paper this semester." she said.
Associate  Provost Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett sent an e-mail to KU faculty stating that students' fall grades would be sent by e-mail to speed up delivery and save money.
"Once the letter went out to faculty, we received a couple of letters from faculty and about 10 from students questioning security," said Bob
McCluskey-Fawcett could not be reached for comment yesterday.
Turvey said that the University realized the concerns surrounding the issue, and said the University had taken a careful approach to security when deciding to send students their final fall grades by e-mail.
As far as the legality of sending grades via e-mail, Turvey said that the federal government had not decided whether or not e-mailing grades was safe.
"We determined that e-mail is reliable and safe in the system that we have," he said.
"It's a matter of judgment," he said.
"A couple of comments had been made by TAs saying they had been advised that it was illegal, and I don't believe that's accurate."
What is illegal, however, is posting students' grades by KUID numbers. This is constituted under the Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA), which provides privacy rights to educational institutions and students.
Only the University exchange e-mail system will be used, so only students who have accounts will receive their grades via e-mail. Because there is more confidence in the security of the system, students who have non-University accounts will not be e-mailed their grades.
however, Herron said that teachers could e-mail grades to students who wanted their grades sent to a non-KU account as long as those students understood there was a possibility that their grades could be accessed.
"Anytime we're dealing with confidential student information, we have to be careful and follow FERPA guidelines," she said. "As long as a student understands that e-mail might not be secure, if students are aware of that risk, it would be fine."
Herron said grades could be mailed as late as Tuesday, Jan. 2 because of the holidays and abundance of mail being sent during the holiday season.

An armed robbery attempt turned into a hostage situation at 12:30 p.m. yesterday at Firstar Bank. 900 Massachusetts St.
Seven police entered the bank with guns about an hour later, and the man voluntarily surrendered. Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Pattrick said police had negotiated with the man on the phone. He did not harm the hostage.
Paul David Lee, a 57-year-old lawrence resident, was booked into the Douglas County Jail on felony charges of aggravated robery, criminal threat and kidnapping.
The Federal Bureau of Investigation is now involved with the investigation.
Jeff Lanza, FBI special agent, said that federal charges were expected against the man today.
Patrick said 20 to 25 employees and one patron were in the bank when a white male in his 50s entered the bank with a BB gun that looked like a handgun and asked for money.
Police responded to the call immediately, securing the area, removing people from the area and keeping traffic out of the area. The KU Public Safety Office

Bill requiring Senate involvement fails
Student senators won't have to meet with constituents

Justin Mills, Lansing senior and holdover student senator, left Wednesday's Student Senate meeting disappointed with his colleagues.
Senate rejected a bill he co-sponsored that would have required senators to attend a meeting of an organization relevant to their constituents at least once a month.
Senators are required to attend only Senate and Senate committee meetings and to serve one office hour a week.

What happened: Senate voted against a bill that would have required senators to attend a meeting of an organization relevant to their constituencies once a month.

Mills said fair enforcement of the proposal shouldn't have been an issue.
"It has a lot to do with the executive staff," he said. "I would hope the person in charge would pick people that are impartial.

Rakestraw said better representation was needed, but that existing Senate outreach efforts should be improved first.
"I think this semester the outreach effort has been fantastic," he said. "What senators should do right now is put more energy into outreach. Instead of requiring it in a bill, we should be thinking about how to better pre-

Mills agreed that outreach efforts had improved, but said that the bill requiring senators to have better contact with their constituents was an appropriate next step.
situation was very challenging.
"Even when we do outreach, we only meet so many people when we sit in a booth in front of Wescoe or in the Union," he said. "If we really want outreach to happen, we have to be proactive and not just stand behind a table."
Mills said that although the bill failed Wednesday night, reworking the legislation and introducing it again when Senate reconvenes next semester would be a priority.
"Next semester I really do hope that people look into why they want to be a student senator," he said. "We'll go back and revamp it and see what we can fix because the goal of it is good. If it still doesn't pass, that proves Student Senate doesn't really do much, and people are still basically lazy."

Construction of waterline will reroute traffic on campus
Rerouting of traffic for Jayhawk Boulevard construction
Construction will have Jayhawk Boulevard closed in front of Jayhawk Bookstore. Traffic eastbound toward the fountain will be open. Traffic westbound away from campus detours north on West Campus Road then follows a square route back around to southbound Neilsmith Drive.

Lawrence Public Works will continue construction of a waterline this weekend that will close a main access road from campus — rerouting traffic and delaying KU on Wheels buses — for about two weeks.
Westbound traffic on Crescent Road will be closed from the Chi Omega Fountain to Nisthmim Drive in front of Jayhawk Bookstore, 1420 Crescent Road, and the Chi Omega Sorority House so public works can link up a waterline from Crescent Road into a line by the sorority house.
John Mullens, assistant director of security at the KU Public Safety Office, said the construction
Mullens said the public safety office hoped the construction wouldn't last more than two weeks.
would begin during the weekend, when campus wasn't as busy. Detour signs will be posted before Monday.
He said that vehicles traveling westbound on Crescent would be detoured northbound on West Campus Road. Vehicles will be able to turn left onto University Drive and then left again on Nalsmith, where they can go south past Jayhawk Bookstore.
Dave Osborne, project inspector for City of Lawrence Utilities, said the city would be replacing an eight-inch cast iron water main, installed in 1884, with a new 12-inch plastic water main. The main runs from Spencer Art Museum to West Campus.
He also said that, weather-permitting, the new line would be finished in two months.
Osborne said the pipe was being upgraded because of its age and the poor water quality created by rust in the pipes.
The construction is expected to cause delays for KU on Wheels bus routes. Holly Krebs, coordinator of KU on Wheels, said that buses going east on Crescent Road from campus would follow the detour and that students should expect delays of five to 10 minutes.
Jenessa Hartman, Hays sophomore, said that closing the road would cause a lot of problems and that the city should wait until January when school wasn't in session.

Late professor leaves $1 million donation
The Kansas University Endowment Association announced yesterday it had received more than $1 million in donations from a late professor.
Anthony "Toni" Burzle, who was a professor of German at the University for 30 years, left about $717,000 to the University in unrestricted funds, which University administrators may use as they see fit in the University budget.
The donation also includes his Lawrence home, which will be used by the University as a guest house named in honor of him and his wife, Muriel. The house on Strong Avenue
has been used by Fulbright scholars and visiting professors since Burzle's death in 1998.
He also donated his personal library, including his collections of music recordings and artwork, said John Scarffe, director of communications for the endowment association.
Burzle's bequest establishes scholarships for KU students studying German and a program to train experts in German studies. The donation also includes money to purchase artwork and to support chamber music programs.

sally Howard, attorney for Kevin J. Hoskinson, Garden City junior, said she wanted to file a motion to suppress evidence.
"My client has a history of mental illness," she said, saying that she was not made aware of that when she began representing Hoskinson. "It is significant enough to impact the voluntary nature of that confession."
Howard told District Court Judge Paula Martin that her client was undergoing psychological testing and had a number of tests to complete.
Martin will hear the motion to suppress evidence at 2:30 p.m. on Friday, Jan. 19. She will decide at that time whether Hoskinson will stand trial. He is charged with a misdemeanor count of sexual battery.

State commission finds natural gas plan faulty
TOPEKA — The largest natural gas distributor in Kansas is marketing a program that it says will help protect consumers from higher fuel prices this winter.
But the Kansas Corporation Commission, which regulates utilities, has taken Kansas Gas Service to task about its marketing materials. Also, a commission representative describes the program as a gamble for consumers.
Kansas Gas promotes its WeatherProof program as a way for consumers to avoid fluctuating bills because of high gas prices. Customers who opt for it pay the same bill throughout the year.
The company provides gas to 625,000 customers in 300 communities. Its service territories include most of northeast Kansas; parts of central Kansas, including Salina and Wichita; and parts of southwest
Kansas outside Dodge City and Garden City.
Last year 23,000 Kansas Gas customers signed up for the program, said Steve Johnson, the company's spokesman. This year, about 27,700 are signed up.
Consumer spending slows; incomes decline
WASHINGTON — Although consumer spending rose in October at the weakest pace in six months, Americans' incomes actually declined for the first time in nearly two years, the government reported yesterday, providing fresh evidence that the economy is shifting into a lower gear
The Commerce Department said that personal incomes fell by 0.2 percent last month, reflecting a big swing in federal payments to farmers, while consumer spending edged up just 0.2 percent.
Economists worried that the weakness in the consumer sector could intensify if Americans suddenly become more cautious in their spending habits because of the volatility on Wall Street.
Egg warnings to help educate consumers
WASHINGTON — Egg cartons will soon bear new safety warnings designed to help Americans avoid food poisoning.
Eggs can be infected with salmonella, a type of bacteria that cooks can avoid if only they handled eggs safely. So the Food and Drug Administration ordered yesterday that all egg cartons bear the following warning:
"To prevent illness from bacteria: Keep eggs refrigerated, cook eggs until yolks are firm, and cook foods containing eggs thoroughly."
Illusionist Blaine freed from ice after 62 hours
NEW YORK — After spending 62 hours encased in a 6-ton block of ice, illusionist David Blaine was freed from his Arctic confines. Blaine emerged wobbly and incoherent Wednesday night after the ice was chipped away.
He was quickly wrapped in blankets, placed on a stretcher, and whisked to a waiting ambulance. His condition was not immediately known. The stunt was the first for Blaine since he was buried alive in a pleixglass sarcophagus in New York for seven days last year.
Blaine, 26, entered the ice tomb Monday in front of ABC studios in Times Square. He was completely sealed within two blocks of ice with a body-shaped cocoon etched out of the center, and only had a tube from which to breathe and to drink water.

RIYADH, Saudi Arabia — With appeals to boycott McDonald's and other U.S. products, Gulf Arabs are urging consumers to punish America for supposedly favoring Israel above the Palestinians.
U.S. faces threat of boycott
The Associated Press
but in a region where suburbs and shopping malls look as though they've been copied from America, governments are unlikely to get behind any boycott.
in an apparent move to appease critics, McDonald's branches in Saudi Arabia announced this week that for the next month, 26 cents from every meal sold will go to Palestinian children's hospitals.
The informal drive to ignite a boycott began after the Israeli-Palestinian violence began Sept. 28 and has spread beyond the Persian Gulf. This week, Muslim clerics in Egypt said importing Israel and U.S. products is forbidden on religious grounds in light of the violence.
Since the Israeli-Palestinian violence began, some countries, notably Syria, have called for a revival of the boycott.
The Israeli government declined to comment Wednesday on calls for its revival
Despite tough language denouncing Israel and demanding more U.S. sympathy for the Arab case, Gulf governments have distanced themselves from the boycott because of tight U.S. economic and political ties.
Calls to boycott are being backed religious edicts from some Muslim clerics.
Bishr Bakheet, a Saudi financial adviser said Arabs should cut oil output as they did in the 1973 Arab-Israeli war, triggering a price increase of 288 percent in less than three months.
But Saudi Arabia has already made clear it won't use the oil weapon this year.
ON THE RECORD
Even the most ardent supporters of a boycott admit that totally shunning U.S. products is unrealistic.
"U.S.-Saudi economic relations are very intertwined; the Americans cannot do without the Saudi market and the Saudi market cannot do without the Americans," said Omar Bahlaiwa, of the Council of Saudi Chambers of Commerce and Industry. "Much of Saudi Arabia is built to U.S. standards and specifications, so do you also boycott using 110-volt electricity?"

KU students criticize professor's race study
By Jason Krall
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Some African-American students on campus are criticizing research done by a KU professor which concludes that African-American students at the University of Kansas are less aware of racial themes in the media than their counterparts at a predominantly African-American university in Louisiana.
Shannon Campbell, assistant professor of communication studies and journalism, studied a group of seven African-American KU students and six African-American students at Xavier University in Louisiana as they viewed episodes of two sitcoms on the UPN network popular with African-American audiences.
She found that the students from Xavier picked out racial themes and overtones in the show more easily than the KU students.
Russell Hayes, public relations chair for the KU chapter of National Pan-Hellenic Council, an organization of predominantly African-American fraternities and sororities, said each individual African-American student at KU had his or her own unique perspective on racial issues.
The Kansas City, Kan., junior also said that researchers should not draw conclusions based on small
groups of students.
"For the most part. Black students are as culturally diverse as White students, as far as where we come from and how we feel about different problems." Hayes said.
In one episode of *Moesha*, the title character's 12-year-old brother was brought home by a Caucasian police officer. The Xavier students took issue with the fact that the only Caucasian character in the show was also the only one in a position of power. Campbell said.
orportunity. The KU students were more amused by comedy that cloaked racist images, she said.
Campbell also linked the way each student identified his or her own race to how tuned in they were to racist themes.
All the Xavier students and two of the KU students identified themselves as African American, while five of the KU students identified themselves as Black.
themselves as Black Campbell said.
Courtney Bates, president of Black Student Union, said she wasn't surprised that students in southern states were more aware of racism than those in Midwestern students.
"Students who tend to gravitate toward predominantly black universities are more keyed up and
more focused and aware of issues like that," the Lawrence sophomore said, "whereas students in the Midwest, while we do come across various racial issues, it isn't the same environment that some students experience in the South."
Still, drawing conclusions on how more than 600 African-American KU students view racism using a sample group of seven students is uncientific. Bates said.
"There is no way you can come to any kind of final statement with so few subjects in your research," she said.
But Campbell said KU students from different parts of Kansas could have different views of racism.
However, her study sought only to find differences in outlooks on racial identity between the focus group at Kansas and the one at Xavier, and not to draw conclusions about differences among the students in each group.
"I have done surveys using other types of methodologies that have confirmed the study's findings," Campbell said. "But a focus group of that methodology gives you depth. It's a good indication."
She said she surveyed about 45 more African-American KU students on how they viewed their racial identity and that her findings were similar to those from the focus group.

Lawrence to take part in worldwide AIDS day
Bv Melissa Davis

Kansas staff writer
Lawrence will participate in a worldwide campaign for awareness of the HIV and AIDS epidemic.
Today is the 13th annual Workk AIDS Day. This year's theme, "AIDS — all men make a difference," reflects the fact that men represent the largest portion of people living with HIV or AIDS.
According to the Joint United Nations Program on HIV or AIDS, more than 33.6 million men, women and children worldwide are infected with HIV.
Of those infected, half of all people with HIV were infected before their 25th birthday.
"We are concerned with this statistic because, with Lawrence being a college town, a high number of people can fit that description," she said.
Sidney Hardgrave, executive director of the Douglas County AIDS Project, said that this statistic was alarming.
Hardgrave said that Lawrence started to participate in the worldwide campaign in 1989. She said that she thought the significance of the AIDS recognition day had changed.
"People looked at the day as a day of remembrance in past years, but now the day has changed to reflect education and awareness," she said.
Hardgrave said the day was valuable because even today some people have misconceptions about HIV

and AIDS.
She said that many people still thought that HIV concerned mainly the gay community, but that the disease also affected women and heterosexuals.
Different organizations around campus and town are helping to raise awareness for HIV and AIDS.
A study conducted by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention showed that nearly 40 percent of more than 5,600 participants in a nationwide survey were improperly informed about how AIDS was contracted.
Many believed it was "very likely" or "somewhat likely" that AIDS could be transmitted by sharing a drinking glass.
The Campanile bells will ring 20 times at 2 p.m. to represent the 20 years of the fight against HIV and AIDS.
To educate people and dispel some of these misconceptions, DCAP is sponsoring events for World AIDS Day.
At noon today, Rich Crank, project manager of libraries, will give a historical perspective on the HIV epidemic in the gay community.
The presentation will be followed by a "talk back," where people in the audience can ask questions and a small poster collection that is focused toward the gay community

A talk-back presentation about AIDS in the gay community will begin at noon at the Multicultural Resource Center, located between Murpry Hall and the Military Science Building.
DCAP will sponsor a free reception at the Spencer Museum of Art from 5:30 to 7 tonight. Dennis Dailey will be the guest speaker, and the reception will include a performance by the Cure of Ars Bell Choir.
The Campanula will ring its bells 20 times at 2 p.m. to signify the 20 years of the fight against AIDS and HIV.
Crank said that although more young people were educated about the disease, many still chose to engage in risky behaviors.
"Just because people are more and more aware doesn't mean they aren't putting themselves at risk," he said. "I think it comes from the notion that when you are young you are invincible."

Senate pleased with semester
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Kursten Phelps
Student Senate wrapped up its semester on Wednesday, and some Senate members said they would give the group a passing grade overall.
"I'd give Student Senate a B+," said Ben Walker, student body president. "I think we have accomplished a lot of things and set in motion a lot of projects, but there is more that we can and will do next semester."
He said a voter-registration drive sponsored by Student Legislative Awareness Board was a success for Senate. The drive registered 2,000 new voters. 80 percent of whom voted.
unrelated persons living in a single-family residence to two persons.
"It was a good indication that Senate did a good job getting students registered and encouraging them to vote," Walker said. "We followed up with a fairly aggressive campaign so students were aware where to vote and who the candidates were."
Walker said another major endeavor Senate undertook this semester was the fight against a proposed city housing ordinance that would limit the number of
"A lot of student senators and executive staff members spent a lot of time researching the issue
and presenting student opinion in a w e l l . researched way," he said. "I think our victory in the
planning commission showed our ability to effectively advocate for students."
Jessica Bankston, SLAB legislative director and Nunemaker senator, said she thought that Senate had effectively changed its focus toward more student-friendly issues this semester.
"I thought there was a big improvement over years past," she said. "Senate's been more task-oriented and less legislation-oriented this semester. We're taking our work outside of meetings. Things such as the voter-registration drive and the tutoring program are things that students can see on a daily basis instead of us making some little
change in rules and regulations. The attitude shift, I think, is what has been so good about this semester."
Trevor Loney, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, said that despite progress in providing tangible services, he thought Senate needed to do a better job of fully debating legislation next semester.
"A couple years ago, we had meetings go past midnight regularly, and I enjoy the process and the people there," Loney said. "You're there to do a job. To not hear the only speech against a bill is ridiculous. To not extend the discussion by the number of questions on the floor is ridiculous."
He said at times this semester, senators preferred to end Senate meetings early rather than hear all sides of an issue.
"We have the responsibility to hear all sides of the issues," Loney said. "Limiting discussion is a very detrimental thing to society. I don't mind be there late. When you cut off debate, you're reaffirming the belief of the student body that senators are there simply for themselves."

Letters to the Editor Rape stories need to stop blaming alcohol, victim
This is a response to the feature article of a rape experienced by a student at KU when she was 16 years old. Something we wanted to point out begins with the headline, "Sex on the Hill" evokes a sense that rape is in some form sex. There is no way rape is sex, as sex is consensual and beautiful. Rape is not about sex — rape is about power. The subhead was equally misleading. "Experience with rape changes student's life" also evoked the idea that in some way this horrific, criminal act of violence and invasion is justified because this survivor was able to forgive and make it positive. Hear us clearly: We applaud this woman for her strength and courage to heal and speak out, but not every rape victim gets that opportunity.
Why? Because our society does not protect women or validate women's experiences or value women's bodies. The victim-blaming mentality defined in the article was demonstrated in the fact that this survivor felt like she needed to excuse not only the actions of the men who raped her but also the way her own father reacted to her.
She focused on the fact that she lied to her father rather than the fact that a horrible crime had been committed against her. Besides the physical trials survivors go through, including venereal diseases, pregnancy, HIV/AIDS and other permanent injuries, most victims of rape go through years of psychological turmoil including flashbacks, fear around every corner and distrust of men and intimacy to name a few. Another thing that needed to be mentioned was that this violent crime never saw any justice even though this survivor reported it, went through the horribly painful and invading experience of a rape kit (which can include plucking over 100 public hairs from the survivor, not the rapist) and even had a confession from one of the perpetrators in hand.
Yet in all the things the article mentions repeatedly (like the decisions she made that evening and alcohol she drank), it does not mention once the responsibility of the men. It does not carry the tone of outrage that everyone should feel about a crime as heinous as rape. One problem in sending messages that discourage drinking and drugs because of the potential for rape is that this abstinence does not guarantee a woman's safety and once again places responsibility on the woman — the victim — not the male perpetrator.
In conclusion, this article needed to delegate responsibility appropriately—first, to the men who chose to gang rape this 16-year-old girl, next to the judicial system that failed to serve this brave young woman, then to society for allowing a "boys will be boys" mentality to exist within all of us. As a social service agency, we have a responsibility to educate the people of our community that rape is intolerable, no matter how much she had to drink.

Kansan article about holidays contains several inaccuracies
In response to the Kansan's article of November 28, 2000 "Non-Christians celebrate holiday season," we applaud the Kansan's effort to write about non-Christian holidays, but there are several inaccuracies in the article. First, the Muslim holiday of Ramadan is not necessarily a winter holiday. The Muslim calendar is lunar, and therefore the holiday moves throughout the year. This year it happens to occur in the winter. Second, while Hanukkah is indeed based upon a Jewish revolt, it was not a revolt against the Romans; rather it commemorates the Maccabean victory against the Syrians in 165 BCE. The Romans did not enter Palestine until 63 BCE.
Furthermore, saying that "Other non-Christians ... also divert from the norm during December" could be read to mean that non-Christians are deviant. We hope that the University newspaper avoids such careless wording in the future.

Perspective
Community service rule in Lewis Hall full of flaws
KU student housing is a mixed blessing. For the most part, the resident assistants and staff are helpful, efficient people who do a lot to make campus living enjoyable. I've been particularly impressed with dining services, and I have a lot of sympathy for the custodians, who have to deal with some of the foules messes this side of a landfill. The Department of Student Housing gets it right more often than not.
right more often than me. But when Housing gets it wrong, the mistake
But when Housing gets can be pretty spectacular. Last year's air conditioning failure at McCollum Hall comes to mind.
In the same vein is the incomprehensible Lewis Hall community service requirement.
requirement
This was an idea that clearly had good intentions behind it. Community service is a great thing. It builds character, it puts something back into society, it helps those less fortunate. In fact, it began because student housing research found that stu-
So yeah, good intentions. But we all know what the road to hell is paved with.
Mike Loader columnist opinionkansan.com
qents who were involved in community service performed better academically than students who were not involved in community service.
Here's a hint. Students who choose to go out
and perform community service are usually energetic, motivated people. Energetic, motivated people tend to do well academically. It's not that community service improves grades — how on earth could it? The kinds of people who are naturally disposed to volunteer for community service are also the kinds of people who will put 100 percent into their classes.
Some people don't have the time to do volunteer work. They're taking five classes and holding down a part-time job to pay for tuition and housing. They don't need to be forced into extra work. That's the sort of thing that reduces academic performance.
In other words, the requirement won't help anyone's grade point average.
Some people also have limited residence hall options. They may have wanted to live in Templin Hall but got Lewis. Yeah, the community service thing is in the contract, but what choice do they have?
The residents of Lewis Hall signed a contact, and they should abide by it. But it is a bad contract based on a flawed idea — albeit an idea backed by the best of intentions. Student Housing should once again rise to the occasion, recognize the mistake and negate this unjust requirement.
choice do they have?
Finally, the notion of forced labor or expulsion strikes a bad note with me. Good works should be voluntary, done out of a sense of duty, love and civic spirit. When they are unwanted and forced, they cease to be charity and become something more Soviet in nature.

Editorial
KU students must help University save energy
University, students need to conserve energy to stem rising energy prices.
It is time for people at the University to become more energy efficient. If we don't, it will hit us where it hurts — in the wallet. Because of an increase in natural gas prices the University stands to pay almost $1 million more for gas this year. This cost squeeze is cause for a major re-evaluation of campus-wide energy use.
There are several ways in which students and faculty can help out. The most obvious and easiest way is to turn off lights in campus buildings when they are not in use. Other actions that could be taken would be to shut off campus computers when not in use and not to use space heaters.
Provost David Shulenburger recently issued a memo calling for the lowering of thermostats in all campus buildings. If sufficient cuts are not made, then departments face the threat of having to pay the difference out of their own budget. The memo states that thermostats are to be set at 68 degrees during the day and 60 degrees at night and on weekends. Students living in residence halls can help by setting their thermostats at lower temperatures also.
The Department of Student Housing already has decided to include the price increase in student housing fees for next fall. The department is in the process of passing its largest one-year increase ever. The rising costs of electricity and natural gas are the biggest contributing factor for the projected $234 increase. This price applies to those living in a double room with a 19-meal plan. The Jayhawker Towers residents look to be paying $118 more next year.
With the energy crunch, students and faculty must do their part to help alleviate the burden of rising costs. If everyone contributes and conserves, the budget cuts will be slim or none. Otherwise, we will foot the bill.

New program to pair native international KU students
By Jason Elliott Special to the Kansan
The Office of International Student Services will start a program next semester to enhance the learning experience of both international and domestic students.
KU Cousins will pair undergraduate international students with domestic students. The domestic "cousins" will help the international students learn about the culture at the University of Kansas.
Office-employees hopes this program will help promote inter-cultural communication.
Moussa Sissoko, program coordinator for KU Cousins and the Office of International Student Services, said one problem at the University was that most students left without getting the full KU experience.
"The reason for the program is that it has been noticed at KU that international and domestic students do not interact much." Moussa said. "That in a way is detrimental to both groups because that is one of the aspects of the learning experience at KU."
The office is responding to Provost David Shulenburger's request that the University's departments encourage interaction between international and domestic students.
"We need to make sure that every undergraduate at KU has some type of international experience while at KU" he said. "We need to work on ways to facilitate this in any program."
The program lasts for one semester for each pair of students.
The office estimates that more than 100 cousins will participate next semester. The more international students enrolled, the more cousins there will be.
"We want to pair up international students with American students to try and get rid of the clicks that have now formed," Moussa said.
The groups will be required to participate in three events with all the cousins each semester.
Each pair will interact with each other through guided, scheduled telephone or in-person conversations.
The groups also will be encouraged to do activities outside of what is required.
Any KU student can become a cousin, including family members of international students.
For more information, pick up an application at the Office of International Student Services in 2 Strong Hall.

Meanwhile, lunch-hour patrons at the Mad Greek restaurant, 907 Massachusetts St., were moved toward the back of the restaurant and allowed to leave only through its back door.
"It was very shocking," said Peggy Kritos, owner. "The only thing they told us was that a situation was going on at the bank."
A crowd of people watched the ordeal from Ninth Street. Some joked that there were better ways to get money for Christmas shopping.
Vicki Vormehr and Gall Youngquist, co-owners of Vormehr and Youngquist Gallery, which is next door to the bank, didn't know how long they would be locked inside their business and decided to open a bottle of wine and eat popcorn as they waited for the situation to end.
"I'm just glad it's over," Vohrmehr said.

Research may help prevent global warming
Ru Trouvie Board
Special to the Kansan
What lies underground may be an answer to the global warming phenomenon caused by emission of greenhouse gases into the atmosphere.
University of Kansas researchers are looking for ways to measure farmers' carbon emissions and legislators may want to give farmers incentives to reduce them.
University researchers are developing a way to test how much carbon is kept underground with the use of certain farming practices. The goal of the research is to keep plant and animal material in the soil, where it can provide nutrients, instead of releasing carbon into the atmosphere. Scientists theorize this discharge of carbon leads to global heat retention.
The research could eventually be
used part of a plan to compensate farmers for decreasing carbon emissions.
Efforts to secure funding for carbon sequestration methods, led by U.S. Sen, Pat Roberts, R-Kan, have afforded Kansas State University and the University of Kansas grants to conduct research. Now, the University's applied remote sensing program is using a $1 million NASA grant to develop a way to use satellites to determine how much carbon is being trapped.
Kevin Price, associate professor of geography and associate director of the program, said researchers were developing a method of determining whether land, users were sequestering more carbon.
"If they are, potentially they could receive carbon credits. They could sell them and make some money for using land practices that take more CO2 out of the atmosphere
and put it into the soil."
Farmers would be allotted carbon credits, the amount of carbon they would be allowed to release into the atmosphere. Farmers who cme in under their carbon limit could sell their remaining credits people or companies who couldn't meet their limit.
"If you're going to grow agriculture, then let's use practices that increase the amount of organic matter, decrease CO2 and improve soil," Price said. "Organic mass is like putting a sponge in the soil. It won't dry up as easily, and it will hold water and nutrients."
Price said Canada already had a similar system of rewarding farmers who kept carbon underground.
"The reason everyone isn't adapting is because it's very expensive to buy the equipment. If you plant seeds, you've got to have a nice, clem field," Price said. "When you
try to plant using conventional equipment, you may be able to buy a machine for $15,000 to $20,000, when a low-till or no-till counterpart would cost $150,000. But if they see they can make money in the long run, it will encourage more to shift over."
Companies that release CO2 would have to buy permits if they wanted to boost emissions, and Price said a carbon credits system could stop increases in atmospheric CO2 levels in the Midwest, and possibly compensate for past increase$^{5}$
"Basically, we're trying to encourage more research into the carbon cycle and developing the positive relationship between farmer and carbon limits," said Betsy Holahan, press secretary for Sen. Roberts. "Climate change is something we have to address."

Suppressing the Cycle
KU women are altering birth control regimens to eliminate menstruation
DRINKING
By Amanda Beglin Special to the Kansan
Women may have no use for tampons if they change the way they take birth control pills. Menstruation — and its symptoms — can be put off indefinitely by skipping the placebo pills, those taken during the fourth week in many birth control pill prescriptions. Some scientists say taking pills this way could increase the risk of breast cancer. Photo illustration by Christina Neff/KANSAN
By altering the way they take their birth control pills, women can bypass menstruation altogether. "There really is no medical reason."
"There really is no medical reason why a woman has to have a period every month," said physician Henry Buck of Watkins Health Center. "Women go for nine months without one when they're pregnant."
The average monthly birth control regimen includes 28 pills, seven of which are placebos. These "place keepers" maintain the pill-taking cycle once menstruation is finished. When the pills are used as directed, a period occurs after the third week of the month-long prescription. Women typically take the placebos during the week of menstruation.
'I was curious'
But now women are bypassing the placebo pills and opening a new pack after the third week. This results in an absence of menstruation and sometimes the cramps, bloating and symptoms that accompany it.
Danielle Clock, Chicago junior, has been using birth control pills since she was a freshman, but hadn't tried skipping the placebo pills until two months ago.
"You're taking the pill to suppress ovulation," he said. "The only reason you're having a period is because hormone levels drop at the end of the cycle and there's a bleed."
skipping it because I was curious," she said. "I can't believe I didn't think about it before. It makes sense, but I was just afraid skipping pills would hurt me."
Buck said that the act of skipping the placebo pills is not a big deal.
This bleeding, Buck said, is not medically necessary every month because the pill alters the basic function of menstruation: The pill tricks a woman's body into thinking it's pregnant.
Birth control pills stop an egg from ovulating and depletes the uterus lining tissue that a fertilized egg
would attach to — the same lining that is shed during menstruation.
She recommended the females go no longer than three months (tri-cycling) without having a period, or women may experience breakthrough bleeding, when the uterine lining has accumulated and must be shed.
mensuration.
So while women can stave off their period indefinitely, Watkins' chief pharmacist Cathy Thrasher had a few suggestions.
Most pharmacy-issued birth control pills are triphasic, meaning a different level of estrogen hormones is released during each week. The brand Ortho Tri-Cyclen is a tri-phasic regimen, indicated by the white, light blue and blue pills.
Thrasher also suggested the females use a monophasic pill during the tri-cycling. The pills release the same amount of hormones every day during the monthly cycle and are less likely to physically and emotionally effect a woman, she said.
Thrasher and Buck said Watkins already had patients who were using the tri-cycling method.
who were using the device. Overland Park junior, was told by her doctor that she could continually take her birth control pills to reduce the side-effects of her period.
"I think we're going to see pill packages come out this way," he said. "I think women are less attuned to the idea that they need to have a period all the time. There's really nothing wrong with the idea at all."
Possible changes in birth control
"This is so much better," she said. "I wouldn't do it every month, but it's really nice to know that I could."
Buck said he suspected that more women would follow this trend.
But some scientists disagree. They say birth control pills increase the risk of breast cancer, and that continuous use of the pill increases that risk even more.
"There really is no medical reason why a woman has to have a period every month."
Henry Bucl Walkins Health Center physicia
Sisters and daughters of women with breast cancer who use the pill are three times more likely to get the disease, according to a study released last month in the Journal of the American Medical Association.
Though doctors say altering the pill dosage is considered safe, the Food & Drug Administration has not approved birth control pills for the specific use of stopping menstruation.
The FDA may approve Seasonale, a pill developed by a physician at Eastern Virginia Medical School. It consists of estrogen and other hormones that have been used for years in other birth control pills.
years in other on or off court play. The Seasonale regimen is a 91-day cycle — 84 active pills and seven placebos. Seasonale would decrease a woman's number of yearly periods from 13 to four.
number of yearly periods a car will be in the market by 2003
If approved, it is expected to be on the market by 2003
"There are other kinds of birth control that have been used on a continual basis such as Depo-Provera and Norplant," Buck said. Both are injected into the arm, halt menstruation and last for months.
Clock considered Norplant but opted to regulate her pill intake herself.
"I'd just feel better knowing I was in control of my own pills," she said. "I'm afraid that little capsule in my arm would fail."
But Buck said women didn't have to alter their pill intake at all.
"Women attach significance to their period," he said. "I think it's just a personal preference."

Kansas adds 'ugly' win to record

Aesthetically, it wasn't much to write home about. But a victory is a victory, and the Jayhawks will take last night's 80-61 victory against Illinois State.
"Obviously, we've got to get better, but it's still a win," said sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich. "It still goes in the right column."
Still, the Jayhawks were left with a bad taste in their mouths after the 19-point victory.
Kansas was outrebounded and outhustled in the first half, routinely beaten on defense and lacked the overall intensity they will need later in the season.
"It was pretty ugly," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "We did not have the attention, and we were not focused. It was like we weren't out there."
In the first half, the Jayhawks played the undefeated heavyweight toying with the scrappy challenger.
The Redbirds surprised the 16,100 gathered by matching the Jayhawks shot for shot, and nothing that Williams did to help wake his team up—including playing seldom used junior guards Lewis Harrison and Brett Ballard — seemed to work.
The Jayhawks turned the ball over nine times in the opening half, were outbounded 26-21 and led the underdog Redbirds by just eight points at the break even though Illinois State was shooting 26 percent.
"Illinois State's a good team," Hinrich said. "But we just had a lack of concentration and effort out there. It was just, well, blah."
Williams successfully shook the cobwebbs off the Jayhawks at halftime in a steaming halftime speech.
"Coach was upset," said junior for ward Jeff Carey. "He had every reason to be. He said some things, and he said them loud."
The high audibility of Williams' halftime talk sparked an early second-half run that transformed the eight-point lead into a 19-point bulge.
The run was sparked by sophomore forward Drew Gooden, who tallied 12 second half points and gave the Jayhawks their first sign of life with 11 minutes remaining.
The game swung in Kansas' favor by a baseline dunk, which was sprung loose when Gooden juked Redbird forward Cedric Knight with a shoulder fake.
Gooden finished the contest with a game-high 17 points.
After his dunk, Illinois State called timeout. As Gooden ran to the bench, he pumped his fists, waved his arms and did what else was necessary to spark some life into the flat-lining Jayhawks.
"We had to pump up the intensity," he said. "And somebody had to go out there and show some kind of emotion. I was probably the most wild guy on the team so I just tried to go out there and do it."
Senior center Eric Chenowith and senior forwards Kenny Gregory and Luke Axtell each chipped in 11 points. They were the only other Javahws to score in double-digits.
I told the guys we won tonight because we were more gifted." Williams said. "In our previous games, I told them we won because we were more gifted, but we also did some good things. I think we took a step backwards."

The next step Kansas takes will be away from Allen Fieldhouse. The Jayhawks play at 12th-ranked Wake Forest on Thursday.
Kansas Game Notes
The Jayhawks will head to Tobacco Road nursing several injuries. Leading scorer Kenny Gregory has been hampered by foot pain, and Williams nearly kept him out of last night's starting lineup. He will not practice today.
Freshman guard Mario Kinsey, who missed Kansas' last two games while recovering from leg surgery, played 11 minutes last night in his return. He will miss today's practice.
Axett is still recovering from a sprained ankle, but Williams said he should be close to 100 percent for Kansas' game against the Demon Deacons.
After Gooden's highlight-reel dunk in the second half, the Jayhawks took the court with only three players.
"It was just stupidity," Williams said. "In the 13 years I've coached here, whenever somebody goes off, it's because somebody else comes in for them. With Luke Axtell and Drew Gooden, nobody came in for them, but they stayed off."
Kansas took a timeout to rectify the problem.
With the victory, the Jayhawks finished with an unblemished November record. The last time Kansas lost in November was 1990.
Home classic features three opponents

When the tournament has your name in the title, you should probably win it.
That's what the Kansas (4-1) women's basketball team is banking on when it plays host to the KU Credit Union Classic tonight and tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse.
Coach Marian Washington gave the players Wednesday off to relax and watch some film.
The 'Hawks are taking on Eastern Illinois (2-2) in the first round at 7:05 tonight, while Minnesota and St. Joseph get the classic started at 5 p.m.
But studying up on their opponents wouldn't be the key to victory, she said.
we have to constantly work to get the five players comfortable with what we are doing," Washington said.
"I get this express package, and I take it (the tape) home and there is nothing on it." Washington said.
Even if the 'Hawks were relying heavily on game film, that wouldn't be the best idea. Kansas gets film on its opponents from other schools, and sometimes there are some slight problems with the tapes.
But she was able to acquire a tape of one half of the Tennessee/ Illinois

"The thing we tried to do in this game was to try not to worry about Illinois as much as just concentrate on ourselves." Washington said.
Although Kansas will be concentrating on itself, it can't afford to overlook Eastern Illinois.
The Panthers are coming off an emotional victory against Indiana State, a team that had beaten them eight straight times.
Eastern Illinois runs a three-guard lineup, which is just fine with the 'Hawks, considering the way they handled Illinois' three guards on Tuesday.
Kansas kept the Illini's leading scorer, Allison Curtin, covered, keeping her to just seven points in the game, and zero in the second half.
"Part of it was that we really gritted it out on defense down the stretch," said senior guard Jennifer Jackson.
Jackson helped to lead the charge.
"The thing we tried to do in this game was try not to worry about Illinois as much as just concentrate on ourselves."

She played with a huge shiner under her left eye Jackson acquired in Sunday's game against Louisiana-Monroe when she collided with an opponent.
However, Jackson got the best of the deal. The Louisiana-Monroe player suffered a broken jaw and a split lip.
The 'Hawks will need the same type of defensive intensity they showed against Illinois to beat Eastern Illinois and advance to the championship game, which will be played at 3:05 p.m. tomorrow.
"I've been telling my mama I was hard-headed for years, but she doesn't believe me," Jackson said with a smile.
The consolation game of the classic, which will feature the losers of Friday's games, is set for noon.

National title possible if Sooners win cat fight
By Allan Davis
But that was seven weeks ago.

Kansan sportswriter
No. 1 Oklahoma, the Big 12 Conference South Division champion, is one win away from playing for its first national title since 1985.
The Dr. Pepper Big 12 Conference championship game will be played at 7 p.m. tomorrow at 79,451-seal Arrowhead Stadium in Kansas City, Mo. ABC will broadcast the game.
All the Sooners have to do is beat Big 12 North Division champion Kansas State, something they have already done once this season.
But that isn't the case.
If the Sooners (11-0, 8-0 *Ble 12*) are able to defeat the Wildcats (10-2, 6-2) tomorrow, they are guaranteed a spot in the Bowl.
On Oct. 14, in Manhattan, the Soonars beat the Wildcats 4:31, embarrassing the highly-regarded K-State defense.

Championship/Series national title game. If will be played Wednesday, Jan. 31, 2001 at the FedEx Orange Bowl in Miami.
Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops said his team was prepared to play the Wildcats and wouldn't be looking past them — thinking about the national championship game.
"I just think it's exciting," he said. "It's another game to play. We're fired up about if I don't have my part of setting up the BCS game, so I'm not going to worry about it. Let's go so play and have fun with it."
Stoops said he didn't think beating the same team twice in one season would be hard to do
"I don't believe it is," he said. "I don't know why it has to be. This game has nothing to do with the last one, I know this. We'll be extremely confident. We went into their place and handled the situation."
Last Saturday, Josh Heupel and the Sooner offense had — for them — a poor game in Oklahoma's 12-7 victory in its regular season finale against Oklahoma State in Stillwater, Okla.
The offense put only 10 points on the board, and the Sooners had to rely on the defense to save the victory in the warning minutes.
Heupel, the All-Big 12 first-team quarterback, completed 19 of 36 passes for a career, low 154 yards and also threw two interceptions.
The Soonera had come into the game averaging 43 points and 452 yards per game. The 12 points were their fewest in 26 games, and they gained only 309 yards, a season low.
But that was last week.

However, K-State coach Bill Snyder, while declining to divulge his game plan, said he didn't anticipate making a lot of alterations.
"I don't think we could make a lot wholesale changes defensively," he said. "We have to do what we do. But I do know this — whatever it is — we certainly have to do it better. Josh completed 78 percent of his passes. We had a very difficult time. We're going to have to be a heck of a lot better."

BCS numbers don't add up; playoff system makes sense
College football playoffs? Ha, who needs playoffs?
Who cares if No. 3 Miami beat No. 2 Florida State?
We have the Bowl Championship Series, which ensures No. 1 plays No. 2, no questions asked.
The BCS, with its brilliant calculations of numerous polls and strength of schedule, is the Grand Poobah of college football.
Obviously head-to-head competition isn't as important as statistics.
It shouldn't matter that the NFL, every other NCAA division, the junior college level and the high school level have them.
The Orange, Rose, Sugar and Flesta bowls are supposed to be elite bowls. But aside from the national championship, the other three don't seem particularly elite.
The Sugar Bowl will probably pit No. 3 Miami (The Hurricanes are No. 2 in the coaches' poll) and No. 7 Florida.
The Fiesta should pit No. 5 Virginia Tech against No. 11 Notre Dame, which has its own network, NBC, to broadcast its games.
The Rose Bowl will have its traditional Big 10-Pac 10 conference showdown with No.14 Purdue and No.4 Washington. The Boilermakers are No.14 in the coaches' poll, but not the BCS, which includes the nation's top 15.
The obvious rundown after No. 1 vs. No.
2 wc old be 3 vs. 8, 4 vs. 7 and 5 vs. 6, but of course, that would be too easy.
The Pac-10 is threatening to pull out of its BCS contract if Oregon State, a Pac-10 member, doesn't get into a BCS bowl.
The Rose Bowl has to match up the champions of the Big 10 and Pac-10, and Notre Dame looks more appealing to Fiesta Bowl representatives than Cinderella Oregon State, the No. 6 team in both polls.
This isn't the first time the Pac-10 has faced being snubbed, because No. 5 UCLA was bypassed in the 1997 Sugar Bowl for No. 9 Ohio State. Fellow Pac-10 school Arizona was the only at-large selection in recent years, when the Wildcats played in the 1994 Fiesta Bowl.
But it is possible.
Replace the dead space of December with playoff games, and presto, a playoff system. Either eight or 16 teams would make the playoffs, with today's lesser bowls serving as consolation prizes to teams not making the cut. And the cut would be selected by a committee, much like college basketball.
Some deserving teams might miss the boat, but it's better than the BCS.
With all the commotion, a playoff system is the obvious choice. Coaches complain that a playoff would make the season too long, etc.
Do it possible?
Yeah, it will probably never happen, but maybe someone will see this proposal and encourage the NCAA to consider it.
First, knock the season down to 10 games. Early season games would count toward the 10 games and conference championships would be eliminated. A Kansas State victory against Oklahoma tomorrow would illustrate ending conference title games.
so, in the spirit of Christmas, I give you this tribute to the BCS, to the tune of Jingle Bells :
Ah-hem ...
To Miami we shall go,
For this year's game;
The BCS rakes in the dough,
The Pac-10 thinks it's lame.
A questionable No. 2 team,
Notre Dame prob'ly earned a spot;
Big-name teams get big-name bowls
Oregon State deserves a shot.
Chorus
Chorus
Oh BCS BCS
Oh, B-C-S, B-C-S.
Your calculations we should toss;
It involves too much fuzzy math,
And the 'Canes have just one loss. Hey!
(Repeat chorus, fade out)

Take it slow and easy. A problem you run into isn't fatal, it's more likely going to be helpful. When you're trying to do something that's never been done before, it's smart to heed all suggestions. Even the ones you don't like.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8.
You're able to talk people into doing just about anything today. Why not go for something you've been thinking about for ages? This could be the moment you've been waiting for. Discretion is advised.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5.
Are you the same person you were this time last year? Last week? Don't get stuck thinking about yourself in the same old way; your role may have changed. If you're feeling confused, this may be why. Keep practicing, you'll get it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
You're a very busy person, that's true. Are you trying to do too much? Nobody else has your style but someone else might be better suited for drudge jobs. Delegate.
Virgo (Aug. 23.Sept. 22) — Today is an 8.
As your performance today shows, you're a pretty good juggler. Of course there's too much for one person to do, but so what!? You routinely do the work of three or four people. You even make it look easy.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is an 8.
Do something you've always wanted to do but were afraid to try. If you don't know how, someone nearby can teach you. Romance is blossoming, and you're learning fast, but don't believe everything you hear. Use good sense.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5.
It's time for a household meeting. You and your family or roommates need to have a little talk. If you don't let your feelings be known, they're liable to do something you won't like. Better nip this in the bud, or at least add modifications.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8.
Venture into new fields. Something you thought was too hard might start making sense, and you're learning quickly. Don't limit yourself based on old memories. You may be even smarter now than you were back then.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
Push to finish the job as soon as possible, but don't get sloppy. The fewer errors the better. Ask for money now, too. It's better to have it sitting snugly in your account than to wait until later.
9
2
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7.
Friends look to you for advice, which you love.
You're full of great ideas, but don't offer them too quickly. Add a disclaimer or two, in case your first suggestion doesn't do the trick. Give yourself a little room to work in.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5.
You may feel pressed, but don't be intimidated. Just because others are more confident doesn't mean they're right. You may get further on intuition than they do on logic. Speak up if they're missing something you think is important.

Two Big 12 players plan to transfer from teams
MEDICAL SERVICE
Texas Tech junior forward Moses Malone Jr., the son of NBA legend Moses Malone, has not been in uniform for the Red Raiders' first three games and has been absent from their bench for the last two. He has indicated he may leave the team.
Two Big 12 Conference players who are concerned about their roles with their teams have shown intentions to transfer.
indicated he Texas Tech officials said Malone told coach James Dickey that he was disappointed with his role on the team after tensions brewed between the two during preseason practices.
Malone transferred to Texas Tech from the University of Houston after his freshman year because he was upset about his role with that team, too. He played in nine games and averaged 10 minutes per game that year.
Malone averaged 1.3 minutes per game last year for Tech and shot 13-056 from the field during the season.
Another conference player who has said he intended to transfer from the conference is Missouri junior center Pat Schumacher. At 6-foot11, he is the tallest player on the Tigers' roster, but he plans to leave Missouri at the end of semester because he said he was disappointed with his role on the team.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"Pat is a solid young man who wants to go somewhere where he'll have a better opportunity to contribute," Missouri coach Quin Snyder said. "We certainly understand his decision and we wish him the very best."
schumacher saw less time this season behind senior center Tajudeen Soyoye and freshman center Arthur Johnson. Schumacher averaged 2.4 points and eight minutes per game during his first two seasons with the Tigers.

"I just simply was drained. I just simply could not keep up and it began to bother me," Bennett said yesterday at a tearful news conference flanked by his wife, Anne, and athletic director Pat Richter. "I don't want to go out cynical."
Assistant Brad Soderberg, who played for Bennett at Wisconsin-Stevens Point in the early 1980s, was hired as interim coach for the remainder of the season.
MADISON, Wis. — Dick Bennett, who guided Wisconsin to an NCAA Final Four appearance this year, is retiring because of burnout.
Wisconsin coach retires because of burnout
remember. Of course,
"This is a tough day for me
because I'm so close to coach."
Soderberg said. "I just think it's a sad day for basketball in Wisconsin."
The 57-year-old Bennett said his health was fine.
Soderberg said he tried to talk Bennett out of retiring, "but as he told me, he just ran out of gas."
The Badgers (2-1) are ranked 23rd and have high hopes for a Big Ten title run when Maurice Linton and Travon Davis return to the team after serving eight-game NCAA suspensions for receiving extra benefits.
Soderbergh was head coach at South Dakota State from 1993-95 before joining the Wisconsin staff when Bennett became the coach.
Bennett came to Wisconsin in 1995 after twice being passed over for the Badgers' job. Before that, he spent nine years at Wisconsin-Stevens Point and 10 seasons at Wisconsin-Green Bay.
"I have been blessed to be able to do the thing I've always wanted to do, in the state I always wanted to do it and I ended up at the place I always wanted to be," Bennett said.
NEW YORK — Baseball's most successful team is adding the top pitcher on the free-agent market.
Mike Mussina and the New York Yankees agreed yesterday to an $8.8 million, six-year contract.
Pitcher joins Yankees in $88.5'million contract
Mussina, 32 on Dec. 8, joins a staff on the three-time defending World Series champions that already includes Roger Clemens, Orlando Hernandez and Andy Pettitte.

"New York was the best fit for me," Mussina said. "It just came down to who really seemed to want me on their team the most. Joe Torre called me not even a week after the World Series, before he

went on vacation. To me, that was a pretty big gesture."
He also was impressed with the staff he joins.
"We might go to the playoffs next
year and I might not even get a chance to pitch." Mussina said. "That's how strong they are."
"This is a great, great day for the New York Yankees," said team president Randy Levine, adding that the move would help the team win more championships.
With a $14.75 million average annual value, the deal makes Mussina the second- or third-highest-paid pitcher in baseball, depending on how Clemens' new contract is evaluated.
While Clemens and his agents consider his $30.9 million extension a two-year deal that averages $15.45 million, the Yankees say it's a three-year contract that averages $10.3 million.
The only position players with higher average salaries are Toronto outfielder Carlos Delgado ($17 million) and Atlanta third baseman Chipper Jones ($15 million).
Mussina also trails Kevin Brown of Los Angeles, who averages $1.5 million under a $105 million, seven-year contract.
Mussina is 147-81 in his career after going 11-15 with a 3.79 ERA for the Orioles last season. He led the American League in innings pitched with 237 2-3 and was third in strikeouts with 21C, trailing Boston's Pedro Martinez (284) and Cleveland's Bartolo Colon (212).

Malone nears Chamberlain's record
Men's swimming at Texas Invitational, all day
The Associated Press
Karl Malone isn't all that comfortable with what he's about to accomplish.
Something doesn't seem right about passing Wilt Chamberlain on the NBA's career scoring list so soon after his death.
"When you're climbing up the list, those guys are still alive. But he's not with us anymore so it's kind of a different feeling," said Malone, within 48 points of Chamberlain's 31,419 entering the weekend.
"It's really kind of weird. I don't want to use the word bittersweet, but it's kind of like I'm not excited to do it.
"it's like certain records, maybe,
should stay the way they are."
should stay there.
Malone, averaging 23.6 points
this season, is on pace to pass
Chamberlain early in the game
Tuesday night at home against
Toronto, becoming the second-
leading scorer behind Kareem
Abdul-Jabbar (38,387).
Athens Chamberlain, who died in October 1999 at age 63, played for 14 years in the NBA and averaged 30.1 points. He holds the single-game scoring record, 100 points.
"Wilt is one of those legends — such a legend I almost can't fathom it," said Malone's longtime teammate, John Stockton. "And yet I've watched Karl do it day in
and day out for so many years, it's hard to believe that's where he is."
The 37-year-old Malone, in his 16th NBA season, recalled his one and only meeting with Chamberlain, in Cleveland in 1997 when the NBA assembled the 50 greatest players of all time. The two spoke in a hallway at Gund Arena.
"I found myself talking to him a lot more than a lot of the other guys, and it was kind of neat to talk to somebody of his stature," Malone said.
"He told me something I'll never forget — I like the way you play, and don't ever change the way you play no matter what anybody says. Just keep playing like you're playing."
That's exactly what Malone has done, playing night-in and night-out almost without interruption year after year after year. He has missed only seven games in his career — three because of injury and four because of suspensions.
A two-time MVP and 12-time AllStar. Malone is the only player ever to score 2,000 points in a season 12 times. He ranks second in career free throws made (8,100 plus) and defensive rebounds (9,486) and is in the top five in free throws made and field goals made and attempted.
"Ive had the honor of coaching him through out his entire
career," Utah coach Jerry Sloan said. "I'm amazed, I really am, at how his career has turned out."
"Karl was a bad free throw shooter when he started, and he changed just about everything about his game. I don't think Wilt ever had to change anything. He could do all those things to start with — he had a great body when he started, a great body when he left — but Karl had to individually work very, very hard to make himself a great player."
Malone made up his mind about what kind of player he wanted to be in the spring of 1986 after being summoned to Jazz president Frank Layden's office after his rookie season.
With Adrian Dantley sitting out because of injury, Malone averaged 21.8 points in a first-round playoff loss to Dallas.
physiologist of Balmor.
Malone seemed most proud that Chamberlain had picked him as the power forward on Chamberlain's all-time best starting five.
His memories of Chamberlain include watching him play on the black-and-white TV he occasionally watched as a youngster in Louisiana.
"he made things look real easy," Malone said. "He ran easy, he jumped easy, everything was pretty much easy to him — that's what I remember more than anything."

Five Kansas volleyball players receive place on Academic All-Big 12 teams
By Sarah Warren sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
The Kansas volleyball team hit the volleyballs and the books this semester, as five team members were named to the 2000 Academic All-Big 12 volleyball队.
Senior outside hitters Amy Myatt and Sara Kidd and sophomore middle blocker Kyle Thomas were first-team selections. Senior outside hitter Nancy Bell and sophomore defensive specialist Jamie Morningstar were named to the second team.
"The University of Kansas and the KU athletics department couldn't be happier for these young women."
said Kansas coach Ray Bechard. "They've worked hard during their careers to receive this honor, and each of them represent what is good about college athletics."
Myatt, a pre-physical therapy major, was the only repeat academic selection.
ACADEMIC ALL-BIG 12
To qualify, players must have participated in 60 percent of the team's games and have maintained a minimum 3.0 grade point average the previous two semesters. Freshmen
"It's kind of nice to be recognized." Myatt said. "But it's kind of weird the way they do it. It depends on your grades and your playing time. You have to have a certain amount of court time to get it."

Women's team to test toughness in tournament
Bv Rebecca Barlow

Kansan sportswriter
Teams from four different conferences will play in the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Classic today and tomorrow at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Kansas women's basketball team plays Eastern Illinois, from the Ohio Valley Conference, at 7 tonight. The Jayhawks will then play either Minnesota, from the Big Ten Conference, or St. Joseph's, from the Atlantic-10 Conference, tomorrow.
Each team brings a variety of playing styles, and Kansas coach Marian Washington said that should bring excitement to the tournament and give the audience four quality basketball games.
"We're going to have some good teams in here," Washington said. "I know that Minnesota is a good club and certainly St. Joseph's."
St. Joseph's coach Stephanie Gaitley said that this tournament was one of the best in-season tournaments in the country and that it would help her players grow.
"I think that the teams in this tournament present some interesting challenges, but I believe that our squad will grow a lot from these games," Gaitley said. "Hopefully, it will help to prepare us for the rigors of our league schedule."
St. Joseph's (1-3) boasts All-American candidates Susan Moran and Angela Zampella.
Moran, a junior forward, is averaging 24.3 points per game this season. The Ireland native started every game last season and was second on the team in field goal percentage with 53.8 percent. Moran was the third player in history to lead her team in scoring and rebounding in a season, averaging 16.5 points per game last season.
It might be difficult for opponents to score against St. Joseph's because defense is considered the backbone of Gaitley's team.
Minnesota enters the tournament with a 4-1 record. The Golden Gophers are coming off a win against Louisville in the Torno Cancun de Basquetbol tournament.
points and 6-5 rebounds in a two-game stretch.
Minnesota center Kim Prince is playing a big factor in the Golden Gopher team. She was named to the Tornco Cancun all-tournament team last weekend, averaging 18.5
Minnesota has placed a bigger emphasis on its inside game this season and improved its field goal percentage from 37.1 percent to 43.1 percent.
Eastern Illinois hasn't had much luck playing Big 12 Conference teams this year and will try to change that trend against Kansas. Both losses that the Panthers (2-2) suffered this season have been against Big 12 teams, and the games haven't been close. The Panthers lost to Missouri, 106-59, and to Iowa State, 84-46.
Sophomore Lindsay Lieser is helping the Gophers from long range, shooting 64.7 percent from three-point range (11-for-17).

"We are extremely fortunate to have a person of the caliber and quality of Gary Pinkel," Alden said yesterday. "The type of reputation he's built, there's no question why he appeared on the short list at all those universities."
Alden presented Pinkel with a football jersey with the No.1 on the back.

Most of the show comes from the collection of the late Paris art dealer Paul Guillaume, a visionary who helped many American art museums and collectors acquire French masterpieces in the 1920s.
Guillaume focused on African sculpture when he started as a broker in 1914 and opened a small gallery. He collected pieces by most of the major French painters of the day, using perception and bold judgment that also helped promote modern art in France and abroad. Guillaume was among the first to exhibit works by Matisse and Picasso when he put them on show in 1918.
The collection includes paintings by Henri Rousseau, Amede Modigliani, Chaim Soutine, Marie Laurencin and Maurice Urtrillo.
"There are a lot of people in the exhibit who aren't necessarily everybody's favorites," Stuckey says. "I think there are a lot of surprises."
BUT THAT'S HOW YOU ACT.
YEAH, BUT I'M NOT SO WIMPY ABOUT IT!

The show has been described as a near-perfect reflection of the Post-Impressionist trends in France in the early 20th century, when European artists made the transition to diverse new forms.

FORT WORTH, Texas — A significant collection of Impressionist and early modern paintings that has never been outside Paris is on display at the Kimbell Art Museum, the only venue in the United States during an international tour.

Redbirds give 'Hawks stiff challenge
Bv Chris Wristen
Kansan sportswriter
sports@kansan.com
Rather than being a scared bunch of children as Illinois State coach Tom Richardson made his team seem before last night's game, the Redbirds came looking for a scrappy playground fight.
That's exactly what they gave No. 2 Kansas (7-0), and despite the 80-61 final score in favor of the Jayhawks, Illinois State (1-1) had its chances to win.
The Redbirds trailed 35-25 at halftime but got their share of blows in on Kansas. Illinois State led 7-6 after four minutes, and Kansas coach Roy Williams opted for a wholesale substitution that included seldom-used junior guards Brett Ballard and Lewis Harrison.
Richardson said his team outplayed the Javahaws in the first half.
the way he hacks even though we were oversized a lot," Richardson said. "We outscrapped them on about everything in the first half. Kansas has been beating the heck out of everybody, so we just wanted to play hard. I told the kids if they do that, then good things would happen."
would happen.
Kansas later built a 12-point lead, but the Redbirds continued playing pesky defense and closed the gap, led by junior forward Shawn Jeppson's 10 points and five rebounds in the half. They were so scrappy that they swiped six steals and outbounded Kansas in the first half.
"Coach told us to stick with it," Jeppson said. "They're a bigger team and probably more physical, but we have some bodies so we thought we could go in there and bang."
Illinois State outbanded Kansas 8-4 on the offensive boards in the first half, but fouled the Jayhawks 13 times in the half and 28 times for the game. Kansas hit just seven of 12 free throws, which kept the game close.
"We knew we had to keep it a low-scoring game," Jeppson said. "But we
"I guess you could call this a moral victory or something, but I don't think little. I think big."
Traves Wilson Illinois State sophomore forward
couldn't because we missed so many shots. We felt if we could keep it in single digits with four minutes left then we'd have a chance."
The chance never came because the Redbirds couldn't shoot. They were a painful 8-for-31 in the first half and finished the game hitting just 33 percent from the field.
During the drought, sophomore guard Traves Wilson abused Kansas for eight points, repeatedly beating Luke Axtell off the dribble. That was the only bright spot for the offense, which struggled because the team's top offensive threat, senior guard Tarise Bryson, was recovering from the flu.
"I knew I could take him off the dribble." Wilson said about Axtell. "I know he couldn't take me because he's slow. He's 6-10, so I knew I could go by."
He's 10, so farewell.
The lead went to double digits early in the second half, but after a brief spurt by Kansas, the Redbirds didn't allow the Jayhawks to deliver a knockout punch. The lead remained constant at 18 and was cut to 13 with six minutes remaining, but the Redbirds didn't get any closer.
Illinois State is coming off a 10-20 season, and Wilson said that although the close game was a confidence builder for the team, he was not satisfied with a respectable loss.
a respectful loss.
"I guess you could call this a moral victory or something, but I don't think little. I think big." Wilson said. "My mentality coming into the game was wanting to win."

By Eun Dionne
"Just hanging out with my friend. North but lacking ground and the car or alone or white suitcase always tries to make other laugh. That's how Adam Sandler gets to cheer for his good characters and bizarre script. Some of the character's memorable traits, like lonely Nicky, speed bagged about 10km/h. A latest film he taken from his life. My friend from high school talked like that Sandler says.
Strauntumml is tricked to the Attack by a quick peek of Little Nicky, and had a chance to talk to Sandler before fiction (the Gatekeeper), Patricia Arquette (Violet), Alain Cresset (Cloud Sandler's roommate), and Stephen Holle the director. The film premiered on November 10th. It was all the drama functional family from Hell literally Harvey Brute plays at the gates of all things true and brimstone He has three sons: Cresset (Jammy Ellis, Peter Jr) Adrian (Riley Hans) and Nick (Candler). Sit in the waiting for 10,000 years and it's about time for another moment. However he looks that none of his son are ready to take over and decide to continue his rule for another 10,000 years. With this decision all hell breaks loose in the family, Creator and Adrian take off to create their own hell on earth. New York City When the judge the state of Hell freeze over and Satan begins to detain Nicky must flee and go to New York to bring his brother back in order to rescue his father and the world.
Family respect often dogmish well, direction, populace interest of Sandler's work. The recent Big Daddy and film Jee Billy Madison and The Wedding Singer feature characters strangling with their place in the family. Sandler growing in Manchester, New Hampshire, and drawing on some of his own family repertoire, which writing his character, My Father is a menagerie, and we're writing this character "Keitel" sat in a strict, but also to his kid. She loves his kids. Sandler says, Sandler's own father in life and struct, but he's a loving guy and his family came first, and I thank that's what we're trying to do with Keitel."
Little Nicky is true to the Sandler mold, featuring his trademark sophomoric jokes and gross out humor. But the film also explores the idea that there's a little bit of good inside of everyone even if you're the son of the Devil.
DOB: September 9,1966 College: B.F.A. from New York University Pets: Meatball, a bulldog given to him by the dog trainer who worked on Little Nicky.
Writing/Co writing Credits: Billy Madison, Happy Calmore, The Welsh singer (uncredited script work), The Waterboy, Big Daddy (screenplay) and Little Nicky
Got his start: His brother pushed him to do stand up at a comedy club in Boston he was discovered by SNL star Dennis Miller while working the clubs in LA.
Fun fact: Had a recurring role on The Cosby Show as one of Theod Hurstable friends.
SNL ht story: Was a writer first they worked his way on to the show is characters such as Opera Man and Canteen Boy.
Down to earth: I hang out with all the same people I always have do my movies, hang out with my girlfriend, and work all the time. I have no time to be psychotic My friends, my movies, my family are most important to me.
Favorite flick: Billy Madison. It's the first one I got to do, and it's my mother's favorite too: I don't watch my own movies very often, and I don't like seeing myself being nice on screen.
I am the most skilled musician in the world. I can play any instrument and perform any song. My music is always fresh and exciting. I am also a professional musician who performs at various events and venues. I am confident that you will be able to find me on your next trip to the city.

The Small Screen Showcase your talents by posting your movie on the web.
By Genevieve Robertson
We've all heard of Matt Stone and Trey Parker, or at least heard of "South Park," and how it got its start: a five-
minute clip meant to be a video Christmas card that was circulated on the Internet. Hollywood heard about the buzz and Comedy Central gave them their own show. It'd be nice if
Angry Kid (atomfilms.com)
show. It'd be nice if breaking into the movie business were always that simple. But the rise of Internet film sites helps your chances for stardom.
There are a growing number of web sites that are dedicated to showcasing short films.Most sites
Love in Vein (inetfilm.com)
use QuickTime or RealPlayer to bring shorts to a global audience. AtomFilms (atomfilms.com) is one of the more extensive sites. AtomFilms works as a large-scale distributor for small films. What this means is that you get to see quality shorts from around the world on your computer screen. Many have won awards at festivals, and a few have been nominated for Academy Awards. AtomFilms will get your movie seen by the largest audience possible—if they accept it into their collection. Just form and send in a VHS ther than
On a bit smaller scale, Inetfilms (inetfilm.com) has a site for amateur filmmakers. Inetfilms is also a great venue to showcase your short movies, and the site provides viewers an opportunity to comment on the films.Inetfilms doesn't show many Oscar nominees, but they do have some entertaining shorts.
Chris Wright started Studentfilms.com while still in film school at Boston University, because he felt there was a lack of outlets for students to show their
9
movies. Now he has an extensive site that
Cruller (studentfilms.com)
allows students to post films in all genres and to chat with other filmmakers. Submission to the site is easy and free, and all submissions are accepted as long as they fit the requirements.The site also has a great list of links to everything from interviews
with directors to film school web sites.
Another great showcase for student filmmakers is Binary Theater (binary theater.com). The site is simple, with a main page that indexes the
movies and a way to contact Binary Theater to submit your film.
If you love the big screen and aren't sure how your work will translate to streaming video, there's lots of information about festivals online. Dances With Films
(danceswithfilms.com) is the true independent's web site. They are dedicated to unknown, original filmmakers, and host a yearly film fest. NextFrame is another festival worth checking out. Find it at www.temple.edu/nextframe.
Broadcasting on the Net isn't quite the same as a Hollywood showing, but the web is great place to begin creating a network of other young, talented filmmakers.

lights, computer, action! Use your computer to add style and substance to your movies.
By Joseph O. Legaspi
Do you have the filmmaking aspirations of Da Scorsese, Kubrick or Ed Wood? Or do you simply want to make more sophisticated home movies? There are two major software packages that can make you the film auteur you aspire to be: iMovie 2 for Apple
Macintosh, and Windows MovieMaker for PC.iMovie 2 comes standard with the Power Mac G4. G4 Cube and iMac
DV (Digital Video), and is available as a download on apple.com. Windows MovieMaker is included in Windows ME, and can be downloaded from the Windows Media Player web site (microsoft.com) onto any PC running Windows 95 or later.
There are numerous advantages to movie-making software. Eliminate the clutter of your VHS library by editing and compiling a "highlights" video of all your vacation footage. Editing software also gives you an edge in class or work presentations. If you're a member of a service organization, club or fraternity, a film of your group's activities is a persuasive recruiting tool.
e
iMovie 2 automatically transfers video and audio from your camcorder to your Mac through a FireWire cable. You can then edit your video clips, arrange them in sequence, trim unwanted footage and add special effects like fades and dissolves. You can also create your own title page and closing credits. For emotional depth, apply

As a next step, enhance your desktop
movie with musical soundtracks or sound effects imported from MP3s or your CD collection. You can do voice-over narration
with your computer's microphone or an external one. When the fruit of your cinematic labor is realized, view it full screen, or transfer your movies back to your camcorder and watch it on TV.Saving your masterpiece as a QuickTime file will enable you to email it to friends and family, place it on a CD-ROM or publish it on your web site. (To post on the Internet, you need iTools, available free at apple.com.)
Windows MovieMaker possesses many of the same features as iMovie 2. It's able to transfer, edit and store videos. With its
Microsoft Windows Me
Millennium Edition
high-compression features, it's possible to store more than 20 hours of video per gigabyte of hard drive space. You can also incorporate audio files into your desktop films, view your movies in Windows Media Player (a feature of Windows ME and a free download from microsoft.com), send them via email and post them on the Internet.
iMovie 2, however, offers more sophisticated special effects. Editing clips on iMovie 2 is more precise. While Windows MovieMaker strengths are in trimming and cleaning up your pre-existing video footage, iMovie 2, a more user-friendly system, encourages play and experimentation. Besides, iMac with iMovie 2 is less expensive.
If you're ready for the next level, Final Cut Pro is the latest rave of digital movie enthusiasts. The Macintosh-only software is capable of performing the same tasks as Avid, the standard film-editing system. Keep in mind, this software is for advanced
users and takes time to learn. There are also older programs like Premiere, Film Composer and AfterEffects.
The Internet is replete with sites providing information and assistance: start with cyberfilmschool.com, moviemaker.com, indiewire.com or filmlogic.com. Embark on a digital movie-making journey. No class or film degree necessary.
System requirements for Windows MovieMaker:
System requirements for Windows MovieMaker:

295MB free hard-disk space

flash What It Is, How to Find It and How to Make It.
By Marcus Nordvik and Doug Desmond
Independent animation has traditionally been relegated either to film festivals or direct-to-video. These days, you can find a range of animation artists on the Net, from "Ren & Stimpy" creator John Kricfalusi to Oscar-winning shorts to up-and-coming stars.
Animation consumes a lot of bandwidth, so it'll be pretty slow unless you are
Another common format is the series, with an ongoing plot and character development. A good starting point for narratives is HotWired's animation showcase (hotwired.lycos.com/animation), which features several Oscar-winning shorts and an extensive collection of amateurbut excellent3D films.
Icebox (icebox.com) sets a different tone, going for more cartoon-type serials
Online animation doesn't have to be as passive as watching "The Simpsons." Interactive cartoons are growing in popularity—some of Icebox's series feature interactive elements, as do sites like Joecartoon [joecartoon.com] and Bunny Grenade (bunnygrenade.com).

FIRST TIME BUYER'S GUIDE
Digital Video Cameras
Capture the moment—and then edit it to your heart's content.
By Michelle Silver
The only thing stopping you from becoming the next Tarantino or Spielberg is the
right video camera. Or maybe you've been trying to confirm that your roommate tries on your clothes just minutes after you leave the
ing times and compatibility. And digital cameras have different ways of recording sound—from mono to high-end recording technologies. If you want good sound, make sure you know what you're buying.
Digital video cameras capture an image as a digital file (obviously), meaning that you can edit the file as much as you want without the quality of the images suffering. And editing is where the fun is: There are plenty of video editing software programs that allow you to add in music, titles, special effects, transitions, narration, and has other editing
Maybe you've been trying to confirm that your roommate tries on your clothes just minutes after you leave the dorm.
dorm. Whatever the reason, here's the low-down on the digital video camera that will make all these dreams—big and small come true.
The Basics
All digital video cameras have great image quality—even the cheapest. It's the high-end cameras that come with fancy add-ons and editing tools. Cameras record in three digital video formats: DV, MiniDV, and D8. All formats differ in their video resolution, record-
tools. (Check out our editing article on page 7 for more details.)
What It Costs
Cameras can range from a few hundred dollars to $3,000. However,to get the same quality on an analog video camera.you'd spend that much anyway
So when you do bust your roommate trying to squeeze into your favorite jeans, you can set the action to slow motion and play "Been Caught Stealing" by Jane's Addiction, while flashing the boldfaced title "THIEF!" (makes a nice holiday gift). Then go ahead and send your edited film back to the camera to show everyone else.
Digital Camera Facts
Lens Size
This may seem obvious,but the larger the lens,the more material you're going to capture.
Progressive Scan
Allows you to capture fast-moving action in still shots.
Optical and Digital Zoom
Digital cameras come with optical and digital zoom. Optical is the real thing; it hones in on the image proportionally Digital zooming is a way to fake making an image larger by enhancing certain details The highest zoom capacity will keep your images clear, even when magnified at 1,000 times the original size.
Charged Coupling Device
Measures the amount of light at any point in the image. What you should know: the more CCDs offered, the truer the color.
Auto Focus
Even after a margarita or two, you'll be able to capture the party you're filming with clarity.
Size Matters
You can definitely find lightweight cameras that are a breeze to carry around. Just make sure the knobs and controls aren't too small to operate.

KU student in coma after alley altercation
By Lauren Brandenburg and Kursten Phelps

Kansas staff writers
Two unidentified males beat a KU student into a coma downtown early Friday morning.
coma downtown early Friday morning
Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Patrick said Micah Ryan Gaches, a 21-year-old student from Lenexa, was standing with three friends in a parking lot in the 1000 block of Vermont Street between 1:50 and 2 a.m. Friday when he was hit and kicked by the two men until he was unconscious.
Patrick said that the victim was flown to the University of Kansas Medical Center and was in a coma as of Friday.
conna and that Gaches and his friends had been in the parking lot when another male made a derogatory comment about a female in Gaches' group of friends. A male that was with Gaches hit the man and knocked him unconscious.
knocked him unconscious.
"The man woke up mad and said he'd be back," Pattrick said.
A car pulled up in the alley a few minutes later, and two unidentified males asked who had hit their friend. Without waiting for a response, Patrick said, they began to hit and kick Gaches.
A 19-year-old KU student, who asked that his name not be printed, said he witnessed the altercation.
"The guy just pulled up, got out of the car and just started fighting," he said. "It was on the other side of street from the Granada behind the back alley."
The witness said he didn't know either the victim or the men who beat him.
"They just came out and started swinging," the witness said. "They beat the crap out of him. It was bad."
The witness said he went across the street and asked someone to dial 911.
"I don't know why someone would just come out and jump somebody," he said. "It's messed up."
Patrick said that the witnesses could not describe the suspects. Police only know that they were driving a white car, he said.
More minority freshmen enrolled at University

Minority Retention Difficult
The number of KU minority freshmen enrolled increased by 13.9 per cent this fall, but the total number of minorities enrolled has decreased. Minorities made up only 8.9 percent of the student body.

Destiney Maxwell is happy at the University of Kansas. An African American, the Kansas City, Kan., freshman said that she chose the University because it "had something to offer" and that she was not intimidated by its low minority enrollment.
But she knows that some students of color shy away from KU when it comes to college choices, and she thinks the lack of campus diversity has something to do with it.
people. This attitude is one that KU recruiters say they are working to overcome. They have met with some success, as shown by this fall's 13.9 percent increase in the number of first-time minority freshmen.
"I think maybe two reasons," she said. "One is that they just aren't looking at KU, and two is they look at it and say. I don't want to go to school with no white people; I've heard it before."
And they are working to bring that number up again.
that number upgrades.
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions, said one example was KU's proposal for $250,000 from the Coke Foundation for minority scholarships, which could be offered as early as next fall.
But petention is a more difficult battle. Minorities made up only 8.9 percent of the student body this fall — down from 9.1 percent in 1999 and 9.3 percent in 1998.
It's a problem that concerns everyone involved — administrators, current students and even KU alumni.
Being a successful school means being a diverse school, said Steve Ellison, the 1989 KU graduate who is now a finance manager for a Fortune 500 company in Detroit and occasionally helps recruit college students.
That's something that is important at the college level, he said, but even more so in the business world, where companies like his heavily recruit talented minority students.
Ellison, an African American, said ethnic diversity led to intellectual diversity.
"I do think a diverse campus is
critical to our success," Cerveny said, adding that college was a place to challenge beliefs and change perspectives. "I think learning takes place outside the classroom as well as inside."
"You do face things," she said, remembering a class earlier this semester when the white teacher discussed an African-American issue.
EIIison suggested increased scholarship money as a way to improve that diversity.
Although Maxwell agreed that would help, she said there were a number of reasons minority students left KU.
There was only one other African-American student in the room, Maxwell said, and though she understood the difficulty of the teacher's position, she said she was offended.

New study shows growing opportunities for liberal arts majors
By Jennifer Valadez writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Job prospects haven't been this good for liberal arts graduates in years.
It's great news for the 13,999 students at the University of Kansas — 54 percent of the 25,920 students on campus — pursuing liberal arts degrees.
ings of all kinds.
Among the reasons is the fact that the earlier-than-predicted retirements of the oldest baby boomers have created job open-
Liberal arts graduates can expect to be more fervently sought after this year and to be offered better salaries, according to the 30th annual recruiting trends survey conducted by the Collegiate Employment Research Institute at Michigan State University.
Also, with the high-tech industry booming, some employers are changing their attitudes about liberal arts majors, said Terri LaMarco, associate director for employer relations at the University of Michigan.
James Abraham, Lenexa senior, said he had heard talk of the trend toward job prospects for liberal arts graduates and found it comforting.

"I've heard from a lot of people that they would much rather hire a liberal arts student because they can think more creatively and that they would not need as much instruction as others would," he said.
sad.
A total of 380 employers, primarily in the manufacturing and professional services fields, responded to the survey that was released Friday.
Continuing a four-year period of frenzied growth, the job market for students receiving undergraduate or advanced degrees of any kind in 2001 will expand 6 percent to 10 percent compared with the
year before, the survey found. It gave no breakdown for those with liberal arts degrees.
Much of the expansion will take place at companies with more than 3,500 employees. Those corporations are expected to expand hiring by 66 percent, an increase that will cross all degree levels.
Last year, large companies reported that they planned to expand hiring by 21 percent.
Graduates at the more modest end of the pay scale, such as liberal arts majors, will see their average starting salaries push into the lower $30,000s.
lower $200.00
Rosie Lopez, Lyons senior, said that she had heard that employers were looking for liberal arts students because they tend to have broader experiences.
"It seems like a lot of people look down on liberal arts degrees like they're nothing, when they really are, and now those graduates have the opportunity prove that they do have something," she said.

Insomnia keeps many students awake
By Melissa Davis
writer @kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
With finals around the corner and late-night cramming sessions becoming the norm, some students are not having trouble staying awake, but instead falling asleep.
instruction Haring wrote. John Wade, counselor at Counseling and Physiological Services (CAPS), said many things could contribute to problems people have trying to fall asleep.
Factors include too much caffeine, or stress, anxiety, depression, medications or poor sleeping habits, he said.
John Lawrence, Lenexa junior, said he had trouble falling asleep at night because a student lifestyle had thrown his sleep pattern off.
"Sometimes I get to sleep at 4 a.m. other times 10," he said. "It comes with being a student and studying."
Lawrence said that he used Melatonin, an herbal sleep aid, to catch some extra sleep hours.
However, Wade said that falling asleep naturally is always better.
"It works," he said. "I take it half an hour before I go to sleep if I know that I will only be getting five to six hours and I want to feel rested."
Melatonin is a hormone that the body produces and helps the body sleep.
Wade said that a lack of sleep and inducing sleep by certain measures, such as with the help of drugs or alcohol, could make people more susceptible to illnesses and could have an effect on quality of life.
"People should be cautious when using any睡 aid," he said.
He suggested that people having trouble sleeping could try a number of things to sleep longer and better at night.
"Studies show that someone who is sleeping under the influence of alcohol is indirectly not getting enough sleep and their immune system could be compromised." Wade said.
"Exercise is important," Wade said.
"If someone is physically tired, then it
is easier to fall asleep."
He suggested that people limit nap times as well as alcohol and caffeine consumption. He also recommended that people avoid lying in bed if they couldn't sleep.
"If you spend hours and hours in bed and can't sleep, get up and do something," Wade said. "If someone is laying awake in bed, than they start to associate bed with being awake instead of sleeping."
Wade said CAPS saw many students that complained of sleeplessness.
.
According to the National Sleep Foundation, sleeplessness and insomnia effect many people nationally.
ina direct many of their recent study by the National Sleep Foundation found that 48 percent of Americans reported insomnia occasionally, while 22 percent experienced insomnia every or almost every night.
The report also found that people with insomnia are four times more likely to suffer from depression than people who sleep well.

Det. Mike Pattrick said the student first saw something pass her back window but did not think much about it. She later saw a man masturbating as he was looking through her blinds.
The man left westbound on foot, Patrick said, and a neighbor chased him. The neighbor grabbed the man's jacket, which is now in police custody but was unable to catch the man.

OMAHA, Neb. — A Creighton University fraternity was ordered to pay more than $250,000 to a Broken Bow, Neb., woman who was seriously injured two years ago after falling out of a second-story window at a Council Bluffs, Iowa, bar where the fraternity was having a Halloween party.
Tristan Brakeman was 19 years old when she broke both of her arms and suffered a brain injury after falling from the window.
A Pottawattamie County, Iowa, jury of seven women and one man deliberated for about six hours Friday before issuing the unanimous ruling.
The jury found the fraternity 60 percent liable for the more than $400,000 in damages Brakeman suffered. Brakeman, who had been drinking before the fall, was found liable for 40 percent.
The national fraternity carries insurance to pay claims against local chapters, but Brakeman's attorney, Bob Chaloupka of Scottsbluff, Neb., said he expected a fight to collect the award.

Solar wings give power to international station
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. — Two spacewalking astronauts attached the world's largest, most powerful set of solar wings to the international space station on Sunday.
It was a task as monumental as the wings themselves: The future of space station construction hinged on the astronauts' ability to install the solar panels, which will provide much-needed power to the newly inhabited outpost.
Space shuttle Endeavour astronauts Joe Tanner and Carlos Noriega guided the $600 million solar wings onto space station Alpha and then bolted them down. They had spent more than three years training for the

mission, and everything went according to plan.
NEW YORK — PepsiCo Inc. has agreed to buy Quaker Oats Co., the maker of Gatorade and Cap'n Crunch cereal, for $13.4 billion in stock, a source close to the talks said yesterday.
The boards of both companies approved the deal during the weekend and an announcement is expected today, the source told The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.
Gaining control of Gatorade would give PepsiCo the dominant brand in the $2.5 billion sports drink market, which has been growing faster than colas.
At least two PepsiCo rivals had considered acquiring Quaker: Coca-Cola Co. abandoned talks two weeks ago after its board rejected a deal reportedly worth $15.75 billion, and French food conglomerate Danone SA backed away from a possible bid last month.

Iraq to resume exports after U.N. dispute
BAGHDAD, Iraq — Iraq said yesterday it would resume its oil exports to fulfill its existing contracts, backing away from a halt it called two days earlier in a dispute with the United Nations about pricing.
Iraq, the third largest producer in OPEC, stopped production Friday, blaming the United Nations' refusal to authorize a new payment arrangement for exports under the oil-for-food program.
The halt, however, did not disrupt oil markets as many had feared. The United States has said it would tap its reserves to counter any Iraqi cutoff and Saudi Arabia — by far OPEC's largest producer — hinted it could do the same, citing the need to keep the market stable.

Although Cerveny said he could not pinpoint why minority students left KU,he stressed the effort his office was making to bring diversity to campus.
"We are looking at our scholarship program and looking at ways we can offer competitive
scholarships to minority students." he said.
He said that this year recruiters started going to individual schools to meet students and that a Multicultural Recruitment Board was improving communication across campus.
"The one key to success in any recruitment effort is that you're able to rally the entire campus community," he said.
Sometimes at KU, Cerveny said, different recruiting programs haven't worked together or known what the other was doing. He said it was something he was working to change.

Fees and tuition could be due earlier
Deadline could speed process of add/drop
By Jason Krahl
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Tuition and fees could be due a week before classes begin for the spring semester, after the University of Kansas permitted students to pay them up until the first day of classes this semester.
University Council last week unanimously approved a proposal that could make tuition and fees due as early as Sunday, Jan. 7 — nine days before the first day of class. With the council's approval, the proposal goes to University Senate Executive Committee and the University Senate. Both SenEx and the University Senate will have to approve the proposal for it to go into effect.
AL Lata, lecturer of chemistry and member of the council, surprised some council members with the proposal, which was not on the agenda. Lata said that whether students paid campus fees, which are $229 on the
Lawrence campus, determined whether an enrolled student was returning. If the fee isn't paid by its deadline, the University registrar's office begins removing those students from the classes in which they're enrolled.
That process takes two or three days, Lata said. If the process is taking place in the first days of the semester, it keeps out students who want to add classes that are crowded or closed by students who no longer attend the University.
Two or three days into the semester, when the registrar's office removes departing students' names from class lists, many other students have given up on add/drop. That leaves open seats that students would have enrolled in had the courses been open earlier.
Lata said he wasn't sure if tuition would need to be due along with fees by the Jan. 7 deadline in order to remove former students from classes they had enrolled in. University Senate will determine the final deadlines, he said. The proposal requires that students who have not paid the required fees be removed a week before the first day of class. That would be Wednesday, Jan. 10 for the coming semester, and payments would have
Earlier deadlines have been imposed as recently as last fall, Lata said, and the due dates may have been pushed back in recent semesters to spread out the payments required from students.
to be due by Jan. 7 to give the registrar's office time to process the cancellations.
Tom Belseeker, president of the SenEx and associate professor of communication studies, said the committee would discuss the measure at its meeting Tuesday. He said council members favored the proposal because it would allow more students to add crowded and closed classes.
"The primary concern of University Council was making sure that students were able to be enrolled in the classes they wanted." he said.
Lata said it would be difficult to calculate how many spaces the change could open up during the add/drop period.
Erin Simpson, off-campus senator and Lenexa senior, said she supported the proposal because it helped students who were returning to the University get into the classes they wanted.
"It does put pressure on students to get their fees in on time. If you don't have the money, you don't have the money and the
WHAT IT MEANS
What happened: University Council last week unanimously approved a proposal that could make fees and possibly tuition due as early as Sunday, Jan. 7, nine days before the first day of class.
What this means: Students who do not pay their fees by the deadline could be removed from their classes, freeing up space in crowded or closed classes before the semester began. That would make it easier for students wanting to add classes.
What's next? With the council's approval, the proposal will go on to University Senate Executive Committee and the University Senate, and both SenEx and the University Senate will have to approve the proposal for it to go into effect.
date becomes kind of arbitrary," said Simpson, who is also a member of SenEx. "It's a situation where you balance the needs of students who can pay fees on time and try to give as much leeway as possible to students who don't."

Online magazine strives for larger audience
By Meghan Bainum
By Meghan Bainum writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students looking for a creative outlet now have a high-tech option.
Swallowing Metis, a new online literary magazine, is taking submissions to be included in its first publication on Jan. 22, 2001.
Chase Richards, McPhrerson freshman and co-editor of the magazine, said that everyone was encouraged to send work to be published in the magazine, which will be reposted every month except June, July and August. He said people all across the world would be able to read the submissions.
"With little to no cost we can reach anybody in the world," he said. "Whereas with a lot more cost, only the campus can be reached with a paper-based effort."
"It's kind of surprising that there isn't already one at KU," Richards said. "There is Kiosk, but for a university as large as KU, it is surprising there is only one literary magazine."
Richards said Web-zines and online literary journals were becoming popular at other colleges, such as Brown University in Providence, R.I.
Cody Marrs, Wichita freshman and co-editor of Swallowing Metis, said the online magazine's format would allow more work to be published than traditional paper-based formats.
"We're not limited by the medium," Marrs said. "We can put a lot more people's work up, and we're not limited by length. That's also why it can contain art and photography."
kendall Irwin, Russell sophomore and assistant editor of Klosk.
said she wasn't worried about the technology of Swallowing Metis taking away from the submissions to the readership of Kiosk, which also is published online.
"There's definitely still a market for written and published works," she said. "Technology has been around this long, and there are still magazines."
Irwin also said that *Kiosk* offered another edge against the newer magazine.
"People are more aware of Kiosk," she said. "They know that it is a reputable magazine."
David Brodie, Prairie Village junior, said the reputation of a magazine would overshadow the fact that the Internet is the easiest way to get literary work out to the world.
"It might be unfair," he said "But it looks better on paper to say that some publisher was actually interested enough in your work to use actual physical resources — that it was actually paper and ink."
Still, Brodie said he was not against the idea of having something published online.
Though Swallowing Metis was originally Richards' brainchild, the work to make the Web-zine a reality has been split between Richards, Marrs and Amanda Hendrix, Prairie Village freshman and feature/visual editor of the magazine. The group said they had plans to go to Student Senate and ask for funding to help with the purchase of a scanner and a digital camera.
The name Swallowing Metis comes from Greek legend. Metis, whose name means creative intel-
gence, was impregnated by Zeus. When Zeus found out Metis' offspring would overthrow him, Zeus ate Metis. She stayed in Zeus' body and became his counselor. Metis always has been known as a goddess of wisdom.
Richards said Swallowing Metis was intended as an alternative place for literary creativity besides Kiosk. He encouraged any person affiliated with the University to submit a piece of work.
"I hope that we can become a name on campus that's associated with giving a place for people and their creativity," Richards said.

Program will offer national local papers free of charge
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
University of Kansas students will be able to read local and national newspapers for free when they head back to classes in January.
A four-week newspaper readership pilot program will start on the first day of spring classes, Tuesday, Jan. 16, said Ben Walker, student body president. The New York Times, USA Today, the Kansas City Star and the Laurence Journal-World will be available at the Kansas Union and Wescoe and Oliver halls.
"I think that students want access to that kind of news," Walker said "The Kansan does a good job of covering the campus, but it doesn't have the size to adequately cover what's going on in the outside world. I think students will value access to that kind of information every day and recognize the contribution to their education."
Walker said newspaper companies would pay for the initial pilot program but if a permanent program was established, it might require a moderate student-fee increase.
"If that fee passed, then a permanent program would start next fall." Walker said. "I'm optimistic about the chances of having it next year. It has been incredibly successful at Penn State and I don't see any reason why it won't be here."
David Martin, Leawood junior,
said he still would read the Kansan
but would pick up the other papers,
too.
"I read the Kansan mostly for sports stuff, so I get my KU fix," he said. "But there's not a whole lot of attention paid to national stuff."
He said he thought students would take advantage of the program because it was free.
"I think anything that there's will get taken and read," he said. "If you've got to pay a dollar to read USA Today, but the Kansan's free, you're going to choose the free Kansan. But I think if it's free, it will go just as quick as the Kansan does."
Sheri Martin, Topeka senior, said depending on the size of a potential fee increase, she would support the program.
"If it's less than the cost of one yearly subscription, it's worth it," she said. "But if it's just as much as a yearly subscription, I wouldn't want it. It's fairly unlikely that I'll read three papers a day."
She said there would be other possible advantages to the readership program.
"Maybe if people start mastering the crosswords in the UDK, they can move on to the ones in The New York Times," she said.

Speaking for the voiceless brings change
Yes, I was arrested. It's a little surprising to me how many people read the paper last Tuesday and saw those headlines. Seeing as I was an opinion page columnist, and I am a senior, and I find myself in the news often (a.k.a. I'm an activist), it's not that surprising that people have read my stuff or read about me in the Kansan. However, I think more people have mentioned this recent coverage because of the headline "Students arrested in demonstration."
So what would make me drive 16 hours to Columbus, Ga., only to stand around in freezing rain for two days, colder than I've been in a long time; get arrested by military police that were pretty unhappy with me and my 10,000 accomplices; and then six hours of processing, drive home? The answer is easy.
At the gates of P.T. Benning, I was surrounded by fellow students from around the country, yes, but there were others, and we students were outnumbered. This wasn't Seattle, and we weren't shouting. This event was very spiritual and solemn — it was a funeral. I was surrounded by nuns, priests, children, grandparents, monks, union leaders and the relatives of thousands that have been massacred and "disappeared." We were all saying one simple thing: We want justice.

Close the School of the Americas.
The School of the Americas is a military training school for Latin American soldiers, and its graduates commit some of the worst human rights violations in the world. And you pay for it. That's the key: You pay for it. Since 1946, more than 600,000 have graduated from the school, and they have murdered thousands of innocent women, men, children and infants, in Guatemala, El Salvador, Honduras, Chiapas, Nicaragua and elsewhere. In 1993, the United Nations concluded that specific vicious and brutal acts involved graduates of the United States Army School of the Americas. Yet the school that taught them and continues to teach others remains open and accepts new students — to the tune of $20 million tax dollars a year.
The school says it's not that bad: that there are only a few "bad apples," that the school is the key to the war on drugs, that abuses are a thing of the past, that the infamous torture manuals were more or less consistent with U.S. law, and that the school now focuses on respect for human rights. However, it's all how you look at it. First, every time a human rights report comes from Latin America, some of the school's graduates are cited for violations, including torture and kidnapping. Second, while there are counter-narcotics courses offered at the school, less than 8 percent of the school's soldiers took these courses in 1997 while the majority took classes in military intelligence, psychological operations, and combat courses, and of the 33 courses in the school's new course catalog, only five are related to human rights. Finally, the torture manuals released by the Pentagon in 1996 advocate thorough anti-democratic tactics that seek to weaken civilian institutions, which is very much against U.S. doctrine.
Bottom line: I decided that if my government is going to take about 20 percent of my earnings in taxes, I have a say in how my money is spent. I don't support this. Right now in Congress there are bills in each house: HR 732 and S 873, cutting funding for the school and closing it. Write your reps and tell them you don't want U.S. tax money spent on the School of the Americas.
of the American就医.
Come on, folks. Kids are being killed because they are indigenous or poor and in the wrong place at the wrong time. Before Archbishop Oscar Romero was murdered by some of the school's grads at the altar of the chapel in a cancer hospital in El Salvador, he said, "Let those with voice speak for the voiceless."
I have a voice, and I used it. I am now banned from Ft. Benning for five years, and if I return, I could face up to six months in jail and up to $5,000 in fines. So now I turn to others to ask you to cross that line, to stand up for the voiceless. Someday, hopefully soon, we, the people, will shut this school down.

College's critics confuse 'will of the majority'
When Libyan dictator and infamous America-hater Moammar Gadhafi comments on American politics, it's useful to listen, laugh and then do exactly the opposite. Here's Moammar on the Gore-Bush contest: "I advised the American friends to announce this now since this would lead to solving the problem, meaning that the one who wins more votes will be president and
the one with less votes will be deputy president."
Such unique thinking stems from the fact that Gadhafi is accustomed to his creative musings actually becoming the "solution." This is how Libya is governed; not by law, but by the will of one man.

It's scary, then, that protesters outside of Watson Library march under a flag bearing the likeness of another person before Che.
Ostensibly, the protesters wanted the Electoral College reformed or abolished and then replaced with direct popular election of the president. The idea has received support from symbolic figures other than Che, New York's Senator-elect Hillary Clinton being one.
The desire to directly elect America's president, however, amounts to little more than simple-minded majoritarianism. The nation's founders rightly understood that good government depended on more than just rule by majority. It required kinds of majorities. Majorities that respected minority rights

and interests, reflected more than just fleeting sentiment, took time to make decisions of gravity, and promoted union and consensus were preferred. Our Constitution was adopted, which, along with the Declaration of Independence as principled guide, has been and was meant to be the enduring voice of the American people. From this document, America's rule of law is based.
Al Gore could not have just made camp in friendly, populous territory (California, New York) and George W. Bush in his (Texas and the rest of the South) and have expected to win under the Electoral College system. Both realized this and more or less campaigned across the country. The Electoral College requires candidates for president to put together certain kinds of majorities. They cannot be too regionally homogeneous. The winner needs some minimal mix of urban, suburban and rural voters.
The Electoral College is an integral component of the founders' design for wise rule by the consent of the governed. Its virtues are many, but it takes more than just thinking by slogan ("The people should decide, not the process," one graduate student at the site of the demonstration told the Kansan).
Other American governing institutions thwart simple majority rule. Would said demonstrators wish to abolish the U.S. Senate, Supreme Court, presidential veto — heck, the Constitution — as well? (The sad answer is: probably, but that's a whole other column).
The American Constitution is a complex work of principle, philosophy and compromise and has established a more than 200 year track record of comparative excellence. Those who practice sidewalk statecraft should question themselves more carefully before they urge us to question it.

Editorial
Winter is a time for all celebrations
Public institutions should recognize all holidays, regardless of religion.
December has become a tightrope of holiday political correctness. For public schools and universities, December brings the challenge of accommodating everyone's religious beliefs and celebrations without sponsoring any of them.
Universities and public schools should accommodate all students who want to celebrate a religious holiday, as they would allow students to celebrate an important sports game or an awareness month.
Students have the right to freedom of speech and expression and no one should prevent them from celebrating a holiday that is important to them. While schools should allow student expression, they should not promote any holiday and should acknowledge all holidays equally.
Because Christmas is a holiday celebrated by many Americans, it is an important part of American culture and students should be able to observe the holiday however they choose. Schools should provide information about all holidays and let students choose what they want.
Chancellor Hemenway has said, "I think the best way to honor any one tradition is to honor them all." Instead of trying to wipe out all traces of religious traditions that might offend some people, we should respectfully recognize all the traditions that do exist, without expecting anyone to participate. We should protect our rights to free speech and expression above all else when it comes to religious holidays. Nobody should be told they can't observe a holiday as they wish. Nobody should be made to celebrate a holiday he or she doesn't want to observe.
The traditional Christmas tree was taken out of Strong Hall because some students were uncomfortable with its promotion of the Christian holiday. The University did well to replace the tree with banners celebrating Chanukah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, Native American Celebrations, Hispanic Celebrations, Chinese New Year and a banner that said "Celebrate them all."
Public schools and universities can teach about all world religions as part of the curriculum, and allow students to observe as they choose.

Suspects arrested for burglaries
KU police detain two men following Templin lot crimes
By Rob Pazell writer@kansan.com
Kansan stuff writer
After several nights of burglary in the Templin Hall parking lot, KU Public Safety Officers arrested two suspects early Friday.
Officers detained Moises Marquez, 45, and Roberto Villa, 20, for the suspected burglary, theft and criminal damage to property, which was to two automobiles in the Templin lot. The suspects, both Lawrence residents, were arraigned on Friday afternoon and will make their first court appearance today.
The police report said an officer observed the two suspects for a while then called in other officers to make the arrests. Marquez, one of the suspects, said he was just walking in the lot and was doing nothing when he got arrested.
The parking lot has been hit many times this semester with "smash and grab" burglaries, where the burglars smash the windshield or windows of a vehicle and grab whatever they can, as fast as they can.
"It sends a message. If
"It sends a message. If they come up here and steal, they will get caught." Lt. Schuyler Bailey KU Public Safety Office
more, said he didn't think his Saturn was a wise target but was caught off guard when it was burglarized.
"Of all the cars they hit, I'm surprised they'd try mine," Stephens said. "There are better cars in the lot."
Stephens said he noticed his lot
was hit more frequently than last year.
"I'm a little disappointed that all the thefts are up this year as in comparison to last year," he said.
L. T. Schuyler Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said the office had identified three other suspects for burglaries in that lot, but no previous arrests had been made.
"We were waiting for evidence to tie the suspects to the crime," Bailey said.
Bailey said he hoped the arrests on Friday would discourage people from stealing on the hill.
"It sends a message." Bailey said. "If they come up here and steal, they will get caught."

The sorority will have several informational forums during the week, which will culminate in a party at 11 p.m. Saturday at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union.
we're doing things to get people involved on campus and give good information at the same time," said Jessica Cornelius, Leavenworth senior and Delta Sigma Theta vice president.
The activities will begin at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union with a forum called "Black Women in America."

No one should have expected anything less.

Each game in the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Classic, except for Kansas' 74-56 drumming of Eastern Illinois in the first round on Friday, came down to the final possession, and the championship game against St. Joseph's was no different
On Saturday, Kansas (5-2) had a
chance to tie the game on its final possession, but it was St. Joseph's (3-3) who managed to corral the inbound pass and hang on for the 70-67 victory.

"We sure wanted this one," coach
her point totals, point guard Angela Zampella was knifing through the Jayhawk backcourt and finding open players. She played all 40 minutes and had 14 assists, contrasted by only four turnovers.
Despite Kansas not being able to stop
Johnson said Zampella continually broke down Kansas' perimeter defense, which gave her more than one option for an assist.
"That's ridiculous," Johnson said. "We have to really sit down and play defense up top, but that's been the story before."

this one, color Marian Washington said. "But hopefully we can move on from here and keep working on ourselves."
St. Joe's was led by tournament MVP Susan Moran, who scorched the Kansas frontcourt for 30 points, including 12-13 from the charity stripe.
Johnson finished the game with a team-high 15 points, despite scoring only two points in six minutes in the first half. She was delegated to cheerleader for most of the first half after picking up two quick fouls.
"No. 10 killed us," said senior forward Jaclyn Johnson. "That shouldn't have happened."
"She's such a key player," Washington said. "I wanted to try and hold her and see if we could stay in the game without her."
Moran or Zampella, two of the most crucial plays in the game came as a result of the official's whistle.
Shortly after Kansas tied the game at 52, there were two questionable calls on consecutive possessions. Both calls went against junior center Kristin Geoffroy in the low post, and halted the Jayhawks momentum long enough for St. Joe's to extend the lead.
"Contact is going to happen, but you cannot call that stuff." Johnson said. "I'm not sure what those referees are doing. I don't think they are showing any consistency right now."
To the Jayhawks credit, they did not give up. They knotted the game at 52, but were unable to take the lead. Then, trailing by seven with under a minute to play, they got right back into the game. Johnson and junior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp connected on three-pointers, cutting the St. Joseph lead to one point.
point. However, two free throws by Moran
and a turnover on the final possession sealed Kansas' fate.
While it was Moran and Zampella who were tearing up the Kansas defense, it was the play of center Irina Krasnoshikh that killed the Jayhawks.
Each of her 17 points came outside the paint, including 5-7 from three-point range.
"They've got some great shooters," Washington said. "They are a great team."
St. Joseph advanced to the championship on Friday, beating Minnesota 64-62 when Zampella cut through the Golden Gophers' defense and hit a layup with less than a second left on the clock.

■ In the consolation game Saturday, Minnesota managed to pull off the same trick it did the night before, losing with nearly no time on the clock.
Eastern Illinois freshman Lauren Dailey nailed a jumper to give the Panthers a one-point lead, 73-72, with only five seconds left on the clock, securing the Eastern Illinois victory.

The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Oklahoma reached into its past to get where the Sooners of old used to be — in the Orange Bowl playing for a national championship.
A surprise option pitch on fourth-and-inches turned into a 22-yard gain by Quentin Griffin and set up Josh Heupler's 17-yard go-ahead touchdown pass in No. 1 Oklahoma's 27-24 victory against No. 8 Kansas State in the Big 12 Conference title game Saturday night.
"That was just some Oklahoma football of old," Stoops said. "We haven't forgotten totally about the option."
In the glory days of Barry Switzer's wishbone offense, the Sooners won three national titles with their option attack.
"We have a great history with the Orange Bowl," Stoops said, referring to the Sooners' 12-4 record in their favorite bowl. "And I hope that excellent history continues."
Now, under coach Bob Stoops' passing game, Heupel helped put Oklahoma back in the Orange Bowl for the first time in 13 years.
BIG 12 CONFERENCE
The Sooners (12-0) the nation's only major unbeaten team, will get a chance for their first national title since 1985 when they play defending champion Florida State (11-1) on Wednesday. Jan. 3.
Oklahoma and Florida State were first and second in last week's Bowl Championship Series standings and, based on computer projections, seemed certain to remain that way yesterday when the final rankings are released and the BCS officially announces its bowl matchups.
"For us to talk about a national championship, we had to win this game," Stoops said. "So this was more like a regular-season game and that's the way we embraced it. I'm proud of our guys. This win defines our season."
es for 220 yards. The Sooners' defense held the Wildcats to just 239 yards — 185 yards below their average.
Heupel, in his final Heisman Trophy push, overcame a season-high three interceptions, completing 24 of 44 pass-
"I think our defense may have been the story of the game," Stoops said. "It was pretty special. You hold them to 239 yards for the day? That's pretty strong."
rieupel threw a 1-yard TD pass to Trent Smith in the first half, ran 7 yards for a score in the third quarter and hit Andre Woolfolk with a 17-yard scoring pass 36 seconds into the final period to put the Sooners ahead 24-17.
Tim Duncan kicked his second field goal of the game, a 46-yarder with 1:25 left that proved to be the winning points.
K-State's Jonathan Beasley threw a 16-yard TD pass to Quincy Morgan with six seconds left, but the Sooners recovered the onside kick and ran out the clock as fans in the crowd of 79,655 tossed oranges onto the field.
"We'll enjoy this one for a day or two," Heupel said. "It's been a long season and a great ride so far. I think everyone will get to enjoy this one and then we'll go get another one."
Junior forward/center Jeff Carey gets aggressive during the Illinois State game Thursday. He played 8 minutes total, a little more than his game average playing time of 6.3 minutes. The most he has played this season is 12 minutes against Washburn on Nov. 25.

Carey hopes for more minutes
Williams praises junior's work says role will increase in future
By Michael Rigg
Jeff Carey deserves more playing time, and Kansas coach Roy Williams knows it.
"If there is anybody who can feel like he is getting shortchanged, it's Jeff Carey." Williams said of his junior forward/center. "But he hasn't said one negative word, one negative look or anything. He's just gone out in practice and tried to do the best that he can do."

Kansan sportswriter
It's not like Carey doesn't contribute when he's in the lineup — he has averaged 2.1 rebounds and 2.1 points per contest — it's just that Carey has been pressed for playing time on a team as talented as Kansas.
So far, the best Carey can do is muster an average of just 6.3 minutes in the Jayhawks' first seven games.
In a typical game, Williams sticks with a seven-man rotation, of which Carey is not a part. If the Jayhawks have a substantial lead, which happened frequently in their recently completed five-game

homestand, Williams inserts the walk-on players at the end of the contest.
That routine doesn't open up very many doors for Carey.
"It's been bad on my part," Williams said. "He's kind of squeezed in both directions. But I do have a great deal of confidence in him, and I told the team that."
Carey said that he appreciated Williams' good will. "It makes me feel good that he understands and that he has confidence in me," Carey said. "That gives me confidence."
Still, he remains frustrated by his lack of playing time.
"It's frustrating that one day, you can play a pretty good game, and the next game you don't get as many minutes," Carey said. "I think it hurts your confidence, but I just try to keep my mind focused and not let it bother me. Coach is going to do what's best for the team. He has reasons for whatever he does."

Junior center's game appears to be growing along with her
People gawk.
Kristin Geoffroy does not have dash marks or numbers scaling her body, but she might as well.
Such is life when you're the human tape measurer, taller than everyone else in the room.
They go up to her and ask just exactly how tall she is. They try to see where they measure up compared to her.
It's happened plenty of times. At the mall, around home, around Lawrence when she goes out. The most recent time was earlier this year when the Kansas women's basketball team, which she is a junior center on, was at the airport.
ple see, but they can Can she really be that tall?
Jim, I came up to her armpit. How 'bout you?
She is her own David Copperfield act. People see, but they can't believe.
A look at a family picture would make her seem ordinary. The Geoffroy family of Los Alamitos, Calif., probably qualifies as palm trees.
by team.
Father Glenn is 6-foot-8 American women, on average, are 5-4, but the Geoffroys are helping to elevate that statistic. Mom Surina is 6-2. Kristin's sister, Lindsay, is 6-5 and just signed with Iowa to play basketball next year. Lindsay's twin brother, Erik, a water polo player at Long Beach State, is "only" 6-1.
The family knows more about spurts than Old Faithful.
the youngest Geoffroy kid, Shawna,
is the family midget at 5-6.
"We're hoping he still has a growth spurt left in him," Kristin said.
"But she's only 11," Kristin added quickly.
Growing up is hard enough for many kids, who are teased for the slightest abnormalities. Of course, Geoffroy had her height to contend with. And the jokes flowed when she hung out with her two best friends.
"It was two 5-4 Asian girls and me," Geoffrov said.
Sne still does not like being listed as taller than 6-5, although the media guides keep raising the number as it becomes more apparent she isn't fooling anyone.
She is listed at 6-6 this year, still most likely shorter than what she really is. At the same time, she is not fretful of her stature.
She'll even slip on a pair of heels for a night on the town.
"I figure I'm taller than everybody anyway," she said.
Geoffroy is finding a way to put her height to good use at Kansas. In a way, she knows she's a member of the Lucky Sperm Club, born into a situation where being tall was something that just happened, beyond her control. It was nothing that she had to work for.
WORK FOR:
"I know just because of my height I'm going to get opportunities," Geoffroy said.
But doing something with her innate ability means more than just standing in the paint.
"Everything I've gotten here, I've had to work for," she said.
Geoffroy's height has stayed the same in the past year. Her game, however, is like an overactive pituitary gland — it keeps finding ways to create growth.
She started only two of 30 games last year. Already, she's started four in Kansas' 5-2 start. She averaged 8.4 minutes last year. This year, it's up to 19.7. She's averaging five more points per game.
She's tall.
She's always been tall and will always be tall.
Now it's opponents who are staring, because Geoffroy is coming up big.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 4). Last year's struggles should start to show results. You've got the basics, now do the fine-tuning. Acknowledge what you've learned in December. You're not the same person you once were, so ask for what you're worth in January. Continue to follow your fantasies in February, through more education. Change your home for the better in March. Use an older co-worker's advice in May. Bring some reality to a partnership in June. Be the practical shopper in July. Schedule your trip for August or October, or both.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
March 21-April (19) — Today is a 6.
Don't launch into a new project now. There's too much old business to finish first. Tomorrow and Wednesday will be better for starting new projects and delegating responsibilities. Today, gather data, do homework and make plans.
taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
Friends can help you make a distant connection.
They might even set you up with a new friendship that will last. Don't spend much money, however. If fees are required to get what you want, you're probably not in the right place. The best things in life will be free.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
You like to have the last word, but that's not a great idea today. Instead, listen and take notes. Your mate should have some great ideas, and a teacher's right on target, too. Instead of arguing, which might be your first instinct, soak it all up.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
Ditch a few responsibilities and a partner may help you glide through a wary co-worker's radar. Meet your informant at a favorite place, across town. Quiet time with a good confidant will do you both good.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
A recent setback could provide the spark of inspiration you've been seeking. You're immensely talented, so instead of buying something you can't afford, why not create it? You might wind up with something better than you could have bought.
Virgo (Aug, 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.

You've been neat and tidy long enough. Find a place where you can make a mess, and do so. This is all part of the learning experience. You may not start out perfect, but you can get there. Your first assignment is to relish being imperfect.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
Magical moments sometimes happen all by themselves. They happen more often with a bit of help. Don't leave an important interlude with a special person to chance. Set things up so everything goes according to your plans.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
You're very smart, and that's good. Somebody's leaning on you pretty hard to produce results.
Problem is, you don't know how to do that! By the time the big test comes, though, you'll be ready.

Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) --- Today is 7. Don't get involved in a risky proposition. Let a friend try it out first, and watch what happens. Pay off a debt instead. Once that obligation's been fulfilled, new doors will open. And that may lead to something important you've been seeking.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
Your opinions are important, so don't keep them to yourself. Some decisions already have been made, but there's still room for your input. Let your elders know how you want to fit into the greater scheme of things so they don't put in the wrong place.

In the second-ever dual meet between the schools, the Hawkeyes won 11 of the 16 races, earning an 18-point advantage.
"We stepped up in places I didn't expect," said Kansas women's coach Cathy Burgess. "For example, in the 200 free, Iowa had three swimmers with faster times than us coming into the meet, but we still won. We lost some races we should have won but won some races we weren't expecting."
Carrie Kirkham led the Kansas effort, earning race victories in the 50- and 200-yard freestyles, in addition to a second-place finish in the 100 free.
女
Kirkham won the 50 in 24.15 seconds and finished first in a tightly contested 200 in 1:54.18.
"Carrie Kirkham got up and raced today," Burgess said. "She knew the 200 was going to be a challenge and she stepped up and got it done."
freshman dive Jessi Newman, despite battling a back injury, delivered a Jayhawk victory in the three-meter diving competition and joined teammate Rebecca McFall to finish first and second in that event.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Beth Schryer captured the 500 free title in 5:03.92 and fellow 2000 U.S. Olympic trialist Gwen Haley cruised past the competition in the 200 butterfly in 2:05.36.
The Jayhawks will look to bounce back from Saturday's loss next week at Arkansas in a dual meet on Satayetteville, Ark.

Facing nine top 25 teams that feature Olympic Medalists and All-Americans, Dickinson said he was pleased with his squad's performance and thought the experience would help the Jayhawks become better in the pool.
Senior Chad Sunderland and freshman Dustin Chalfant, who both compete in the breaststroke, also contributed. They took 22nd and 24th respectively in the 200 breaststroke. The Jayhawks also received a solid outing from sophomore Matt Hanson, who took 24th in the 200 butterfly.
Kansas' Bainoria Soria scored a fifth-place finish in the 1,650-yard freestyle
yesterday to lead the Jayhawks at the final day of the Texas Invitational In Austin, Texas.
"I really wanted us to race some of the best in the country, if not in the world, and it was fun to do that," Dickinson said. "Plus, our guys got a chance to watch the best in action, and they'll be able to learn from how those guys prepare and race."
Soria, a sophomore, turned in a time of 15:41 to reach fifth in a meet featuring nine top 25 schools, including No. 1 Texas. Junior Jon Reyes also posted a solid time in the 1,650 placing 18th in 16.02. The Jayhaws finished the invitational in 12th place.
With the Texas Invitational behind them, Kansas men's swimming and diving squads now have more than a month off before taking on Southern Illinois in a dual meet on Saturday. Jan. 13 at Robinson Natatorium.

No. 18 Auburn (9-3) had a successful year just by winning the Southeastern Conference West after two straight losing seasons. The Tigers were denied their first conference championship since 1989.
Florida, which earned a spot in the Sugar Bowl, didn't quite match the efficiency of its 38-7 victory against Auburn on Oct. 14. That day, the Gators reached the end zone on their first five possessions.

Ole Miss beats Sooners in landmark win
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Mississippi men's basketball team's youth played like experienced veterans as the Rebels upset No.14 Oklahoma 60-55 on Saturday.
Two freshmen and a junior college transfer led Ole Miss as it squeaked out the win in a game that was back-and-forth the entire second half.
Freshman Aaron Harper scored 18 points for the Rebels, including the final two free throws that iced the victory. Freshman Justin Reed and
junior transfer David Sanders also added 10 points each.
The win marked the 300th victory for Mississippi in its Tad Smith Coliseum, and coach Rod Barnes said that picking up the landmark win against a ranked team made it even more special.
"This is huge," he said. "It's the kind of win, especially for a young team like ours, that makes a statement about what type of team we are and can be."
Mississippi improved to 5-0 and Oklahoma dropped to 4-1. The Sooners struggled to get anything

going on offense and had three players barely break double figures.
Senior point guard Nolan Johnson scored 12 points and junior forwards Daryan Selvy and Aaron McGhee had 11 and 10 points.
Sooners coach Kelvin Sampson said Mississippi's defense gave his team trouble all day.
"They forced us out of our offense," he said. "Their pressure was good and that was evident, especially at
Oklahoma led by one at halftime, but Mississippi turned up the heat in the second half, shooting 61 percent on offense and shutting down the Sooners with tough defense.
Oklahoma threw on a late 6-0 run and took a 48-47 lead with four minutes left but then turned the ball over twice and never recovered.
Kansas State never found a rhythm against No. 9 Illinois as the
the guard slots."
"Our defense was not good enough, and we did not play smart," Sampson said. "We could not find a rhythm."
Illini pounded the Wildcats 76-56 on Saturday.
K-State was outmuscled inside the entire game and Illinois led from start to finish. Marcus Griffin led the Illini with 20 points and 10 rebounds as he helped set the tone of the game with his domination in the paint.
When Griffin heated up, so did the Illinois perimeter offense. The Illini drained four straight three's as they coated to a 24-8 lead to open the game.
Illinois was rebounding from a 78-77 loss to No.1 Duke earlier in the week.

Two 'Hawks named to all-tourney team
By Rebecca Barlow
Kansan sports writer
Two Kansas women's basketball players were named to the all-tournament team at the KU Credit Union Jayhawk Classic tournament during the weekend.
Senior forwards Jaclyn Johnson and Brooke Reves were honored after the championship game between Kansas and St. Joseph's on Saturday night.
Even with two players on the all-tournament team, the Jayhawks were unable to overcome the Hawks' lead and lost 70-67.
Johnson and Reves scored in double digits in both games. Revs scored 14 points against St. Joseph's and 19 points against eastern Illinois on Friday
Johnson scored 24 points against Eastern Illinois, but had a tougher time against the Hawks. She scored only two points in the first half, but fought back for 13 in the second.
She picked up two quick fouls and was limited to only six minutes in the first half against St. Joseph's. Her presence on the court was visibly missed: The Jayhawks trailed at halftime 34-31.

Tanisha Gilbert, Minnesota
Jackyn Johnson, Kansas
Pam O'Connor, Eastern Illinois
Brooke Reves, Kansas
Angela Zampella, St. Joseph's
Most Valuable Player: Stacy Moran, St.
Joseph's
Kansas coach Marian Washington said she limited Johnson's playing time because of her two fouls.
The victory might have been more important to Johnson then being on the all-tournament team, but she said she was grateful to be nominated.
"It's great to be considered one of the better players of the tournament," she said. "We had four great teams here. I don't think we were going out there expecting to make all-tournament team or anything like that. It's an honor to get something like that."
She said she wasn't happy with her shot selection.
Reves played 37 minutes against the Hawks. She started the game with a steal, scored the game's first two points, and led the team with 10 rebounds.
"We weren't on the same page with our offense," Reves said. "I took some shots that weren't smart shots outside when we should have been getting the ball inside."
Three players from St. Joseph's scored in double digits. Forward Susan Moran gave the Jayhawks problems from the field, totaling a career-high 30 points. She also wasn't kind against the University of Minnesota on Friday, scoring 15.
Moran was named Most Valuable Player of the tournament.
The Hawks also had a player named to the all-tournament team, guard Angela Zampella, who had a career-high 14 assists against the Jayhawks.
Reves said Kansas started out playing tough against Zampella, but then allowed her to get into her groove.
"I thought we initially played pretty good on her," Reves said. "But then we kind of let her get in her realm and she got to do what she wanted to do, which is throw the ball and give assists."
Kansas will play an exhibition game against Washburn at 2:05 p.m. on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.

"Regardless of how it turned out, it can't take anything away from our great season," he said.
Florida State (11-1) is trying to become the seventh school to win back-to-back national crowns and the first since Nebraska did it in 1994-95.
Oklahoma, the nation's only major unbeaten team after its 27-24 win against Kansas State in the Big 12 title game Saturday night, is gunning for its sixth national title and first since 1985.

Because Florida State owns a 30-7 win against Florida, Miami may need to win by a similar or greater margin to have a chance at a conational title.
The Rose Bowl on Jan. 1 has been set for weeks — it's No. 4 Washington (10-1) vs. No. 14 Purdue (8-3).
"I'm proud I got a chance to be a part of this fight," said Roger Bloodworth, a trainer of Vargas, who could not continue after he was knocked down for the third time in the final round.
Vargas loses by knockout to Trinidad
The Associated Press
It was a donnybrook, won by Trinidad.
LAS VEGAS — Once again, smaller fighters have stepped into the boxing breach created by short and heavyweight fights.
Junior middleweights Felix Trinidad Jr. and Fernando Vargas gave the crowd in the Mandalay Bay Events Center and a pay-perview audience their money's worth Saturday night — and then some. It was a denbrybrook, won by
This one was for the fans.
It was marked by crunching power, boxing skill, determination and courage. It was marred by numerous low blows.
Vargas, (20-1, 18 knockouts), of Oxnard, Calif., whose face was badly marked and who complained of stomach cramps after the fight, was released from the hospital early yesterday, according to Donald Tremblay, a representative for Main Events, his promoter.
And it was a fight for boxing criticics, who will note the fouls, the six knockdowns and the fact that Vargas was taken to Valley Hospital as a precautionary measure.
Tremblay said a CAT scan was negative and no fractures of facial bones. He also said Vargas was given a lot of fluids and was able to keep them down.
"I don't want to see anybody take anything from Trinidad's performance." Bloodworth said.
"Vargas was a great champion, but the better man won the fight," he said.
Trinidad, 27. added the IBF 154 pound championship to the WBA title he already won.
HBO will present the delayed broadcast of the fight at 10 p.m. Saturday.
The victory underscored the fact that Trinidad, a former welterweight champion from Puerto Rico, is one of the two or three best fighters in the world.
"He's the best pound-for-pound fighter as far as we're concerned," said Gary Shawl, chief operating officer for Main Events.
in the fourth round, Trinidad was knocked down for the eighth time in his career.
Trinidad also was penalized a point in the seventh round and Vargas had a point deducted in the 10th for low blows.
Trinidad almost notched the 32nd knockout on his 39-0 record in the opening round when he knocked down Vargas twice in the first minute.

Widow still reflective on Lennon's legacy
By Larry McShane The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Sitting inside her office at the Dakota apartments, a stone's throw from the spot where her husband was mortally wounded two decades earlier, Yoko Ono considers one thing:
Imagine John Lennon at 60.
"I think he was always innovative," she said. "I think he would have jumped into the Internet. Also, his music was very funky and punky — the rap kind of thing."
There's a short pause, and her voice grows lively.
Ono supervised re-releases of the first and last solo albums of his life, Plastic Ono Band and Double Fantasy. There was even a book from Lennon about Lennon: a 151-page pressing of his revealing 1970 interviews with Rolling Stone founder Jann Wenner.
Lennon, during his 1970 interview with Wenner, was asked to conjure his vision of the Liverpool pool at age 64. It included Yoko, and made no mention of Paul, George or Ringo. He was far from the craziness of Manhattan.
"You can almost see that John would have done that," she continues. "I'm sure he would have been the first white rapper. Or the second, maybe."
It's pure speculation 20 years after Mark David Chapman, a demented Beatlemaniac, killed Lennon with five gunshotts on Dec. 8, 1980. It's also something that Ono, who watched in horror as her dying husband collapsed, lives with every day.
"I hope we're a nice old couple living off the coast of Ireland or something like that," he offered. "Looking back at our scrapbooks of madness."
A compilation of the Beatles' 27 No.1 hits, released in time for Christmas shopers, landed atop the Billboard chart after selling nearly 600,000 copies in its first week.
"I miss the laughter, you know?" the 67-year-old widow reflects. "He made me laugh, especially at times when things were very difficult."
This year, when Lennon would have turned 60, his work was ubiquitous. Nine Beatles-related books were introduced in the year 2000 — from the authorized The Beatles Anthology, to a reissue of Lennon's verse In His Own Write, to a tome on the Beatles' dalliance with the Maharishi Mahesh Yogi.

Patriots reeling after Chiefs' loss
The Associated Press
FOXBORO, Mass. — Adam Vinatieri lined up for the field goal, just 32 yards away from a lastminute win for New England. It hit the right upright.
No good.
Kansas City escaped with a 16-14 victory last season, and the Patriots, 4-0 going into the game, began their plunge to the NFL's depths. Now comes the rematch in one of the least anticipated Monday night games of the season.
That doesn't mean it won't be exciting — not with two of the last six Monday night games decided on final-play field goals, or with Kansas City's 17-16 loss in its last game to previously winless San Diego on John Carney's 52-yard field goal with 2:14 left.
Or with Vinatiier's determination to build on his 14 straight successful field goal attempts, the second-longest active streak in the league.
"The thought of last year's game is not going to really enter my mind," he said. "We have enough to worry about this year. It would be nice to have a chance to redeem myself, though."
Starting with that loss, the Patriots are 7-17. They're 3-9 this season, including five losses in their last six games. The win, 16-13 against
Cincinnati, came on Vinatier's 22-yard field goal with three seconds left.
"Teams are very comparable in talent level. Vinatieri said. "It seems every week there's one or two games that are always won or lost by a field goal, so you have to embrace that and be ready for it and, if it comes down to that, be happy about it."
Kansas Peterson did that, making his three field-goal attempts against San Diego, but he didn't get another chance after Carney's kick.
The Chiefs (5-7) have lost their last four games, but
CHEFTS
meir current status as San Diego's only victim isn't particularly embarrassing to coach Gunther Cunningham. Four of the Chargers' last five losses were by three points or less.
"You can't really worry about what people say," he said. "At this level, they're good players, no matter what the records are. It's like our team. Give or take a few points and we could be right up there."
The Chiefs have lost three games by three points or less and another by four. They dominated the Super Bowl champion St. Louis Rams
54-34, when Elvis Grbac threw for two touchdowns and 266 of Kansas City's 468 yards on Oct. 22.
He's expected to play tomorrow night after missing the San Diego game because of an injured right index finger.
"We've done some great things in the passing game and, at some point in the season early on, we were winning games that way," said Grbac, whose 23 touchdown passes are one more than his previous season high. "If finally caught up to us in certain situations where we really couldn't establish the run."
Grubc's passes to Tony Gonzalez, Derrick Alexander and Sylvester Morris may be enough to beat the Patriots, who have allowed at least one scoring catch in 11 of their 12 games.
"We've got to finish this season out," Alexander said. "It's not over. We're getting paid to play this game."
The Patriots have clinched a losing record but hope to build momentum for next season.
"If we can come out and win these last four games, we can say, 'we lost a lot of games close, but we're not really that bad,'" said quarterback Drew Bledsoe, who is expected to play his fourth consecutive game despite an injured right thumb.
Carey: 'I'd just like to play now to build my confidence'
Continued from page 1B
But Carey also said the fact that he's not a regular in the Kansas lineup shouldn't overshadow what the 7-0 and second-ranked Jayhawks are accomplishing as a team.
"I really try to downplay this as much as possible," he said. "I just want coach to think that in certain situations, he can put me in, and I can help the team, and that's why I would go in. Not because I (complained) to coach or something like that, or my dad called and complained."
With the crackdown on rough play leading to more fouls this season, Carey said he knew that it was only a matter of time before Kansas would have to count on him.
"The important thing is that there are going to be games down
男 女
Unfortunately for Kansas, all is not quiet on the injury front. Senior guard Kenny Gregory, who leads the Jayhawks with 17.9 points per game, has a stress fracture in his right foot, the team learned Friday.
the line where somebody is going to get in foul trouble, and I'm going to need to play," Carey said. "I'd just like to play now to build my confidence so I'll be more comfortable at that point."
Kansan Classified
But the fracture isn't as bad as it sounds — it's in a joint as opposed to a bone — so Gregory will take it easy in practice this week and is expected to play in the Jayhawks' game Thursday at Wake Forest.

Two hospitalized after taking drug
By Rob Pazell

Kanson staff writer
A KU student and a Lawrence resident were hospitalized early Sunday morning after taking a drug known as Gamma-Hydroxybutyrate or GHB, the Lawrence Police Department said.
The report said John Loper, Overland Park freshman, and Heath Schmidt, Lawrence resident, were unconscious after taking the popular "club" drug in a seventh-floor room of Naismith Hall.
Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical transported them to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. Although Loper and Schmidt were unconscious when found, Loper was treated and released Sunday. As of yesterday, Schmidt was listed in
good condition by Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
Hospital.
Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department said the investigation was ongoing as to how the two men obtained the GHB. He said it tended to be tied to rape cases, but it had been gaining popularity for recreational use.
According the Watkins Memorial Health Center, the drug was tested for possible medical uses in the United States but has never been approved for any medical use. The FDA issued a warning in 1990 to consumers to stop using the drug.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins, said the drug was a powerful synthetic drug that acted as a depressant on the central nervous system. Some possible side effects of the drug are dizziness, nausea, vomiting, confusion, seizures, respiratory depression, unconsciousness and coma,
The drug's most common form is in an odorless, colorless liquid, which can be easily distributed from a dropper into drinks where it dissolves, leaving only a weak salt taste if any.
Rock said the drug was dangerous and students should avoid it, especially if they were using other drugs.
"When ingested with alcohol or other drugs, it can be life threatening," Rock said.
The drug also can produce anterograde amnesia, which is memory loss of the events that follow taking the drug. For this reason, it has been used to facilitate rape or assault.

Man charged with attempted bank robbery
A Lawrence man who attempted to rob a downtown bank Thursday was charged Friday in federal court with one count of attempted bank robbery.
Paul David Lee, 57, walked into First Bank, 900 Massachusetts St., at 12:30 p.m. carrying a BB gun that looked like a handgun and demanded money.
Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Pattrick said Lee held employees hostage in the bank for about 15 minutes before surrendering to police.
He did not have a bomb as police were initially told, Patrick said.
Police locked down local businesses and closed several downtown streets during the standoff.
No one was injured in the standoff.
People shopping and eating on Massachusetts Street also were removed from the area.
The Lawrence Police Department and the FBI investigated the case. If convicted, Lee faces a maximum of 20 years in federal prison without parole.
Lee appeared at 1:30 p.m. Friday in U.S. District Court in Topeka, and was temporarily detained. A detention hearing is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Thursday.
Attempted bank robbery is a felony count, and the case now will go through the federal court system.

Lawrence is the 51st community recognized by the League, and joins cities such as Houston, Orlando, Fla., and Council Bluffs, Iowa.
Bike lanes, attitude contribute to title
Lawrence recognized as 'bicycle friendly'
Two-wheeled transportation in Lawrence is cranking into high gear after the league of American Bicyclists named the city a bicycle-friendly community.

"This is a step forward to encourage bicycle-friendly facilities and a bicycle-friendly attitude in the community," said Aaron Bartlett, Lawrence transportation planner and bicycle coordinator. "We see this as an opportunity to bring about more change."
The award will be presented to the city at the Tuesday, Dec. 12, meeting of the City Commission at City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.
Bartlett said the city developed a Bicycle Work Program, a guide for bicycle-related improvements in Lawrence, which identifies where future bike lanes and paths can be developed and sets up an education and awareness program.
Lawrence received the award because of its comprehensive bike plan, commitment to developing bike routes, paths and lanes and overall friendliness toward bikers.
Patrick J. McCormick, communications director for the League of American Bicyclists, said bicycling was increasingly viewed as a quality-of-life indicator, as are crime statistics and the quality of schools.
"You can have a really nice community with bike routes and all the bike lanes, but if you don't have a friendly community, it doesn't matter," he said.
In addition, he said the attitude toward biking as a viable form of transportation in Lawrence was important.
"A lot of people see the designation as being a metaphor for being a good

place to live," he said. "It also means the community takes care of its citizens by helping them become more fit by exercising."
McCormick said the league, a bicycle advocacy and education group based in Washington, D.C., chose bicycle-friendly cities based on a variety of criteria. The Bicycle-Friendly Communities Program began in 1995.
"It takes working through the process of local government and regulations, coming up with a plan, and really doing something to make the community better in terms of bicycling," he said.
Phillip Smetak, owner of The Bike Shop, 818 Massachusetts St., said the City Commission had caught some flak during the past few years for not creating enough bike lanes, but the plans had been created and several roads already had been retrofitted with bike lanes.
"The projects are already there, but it takes a while for a large-scale project to be implemented," he said.
Smetak said Critical Mass bike rides could have a positive impact by keeping bicycling issues visible, but only if the rides were well organized such as this fall's second Critical Mass bike ride.
"I think everyone agrees that it could be better and should be better, but in general, I believe most people are pretty satisfied with the bicycling conditions in Lawrence." Smetak said.

Courts deal Gore setbacks; hope lies with Florida court
The Associated Press
Democrats warned of legal and political fireworks if the GOP led state Legislature intervenes to propel George W. Bush to victory.
The U.S. Supreme Court thrust the agonizingly close presidential election into deeper uncertainty yesterday, setting aside a ruling that allowed Al Gore to benefit from recounts and asking the Florida high court for more information.
The Supreme Court decision did not setattle the contested race or unangle any of the legal knacks tying up the election of a 43rd United States president, but it did deny Gore the clear-cut court victory he sought to sustain his presidential quest.
Furthermore, Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls rejected the Democrat's unprecedented contest of the election.
tney won. We lost. We're appealing" to the Florida Supreme Court, said Gore attorney David Boies after Sauls' ruling. "We've moved one step closer to having this resolved."
On Day 27 of the longest, closest presidential race in a century, Saul delayed his verdict to review the high court decision. Gore wants recounts in two counties and a reduction of Bush's totals in a third to reverse the vice president's minuscule 537-vote deficit in Florida — where 25 electoral votes and control of the White House are at stake.
Denied a legal slam dunk, both sides claimed some measure of victory.
"It's not bad news. It's not good news," said Ron Klaen, Gore's legal and political adviser. "It's just no news."
Bush called the Supreme Court ruling "a very strong statement on our behalf." While posing for pictures in front of a garland-strung hearth, Bush told reporters he was dispatching running mate Dick Cheney to Capitol Hill to meet with GOP leaders to continue making plans for a presumptive Bush presidency.
But no news is bad news for Gore, who is being told by advisers that the patience of voters and Democratic lawmakers will soon expire without a legal victory, recounts and a show of progress toward erasing Bush's lead.
Trying to maintain Gore's standing on Capitol Hill, campaign chairman William Daley and running mate Joseph Lieberman conducted a conference call with Democratic lawmakers to discuss the developments. One senior official who participated in the call said there was no sign of surrender from the vice president's troops.
Gore's presidential dreams are tethered to the case before Saulis, who heard two days of weekend testimony on Gore's unprecedented petition to overturn the results of Florida's presidential election.
"We need to have these votes counted," Klain told CBS before the high court ruling.
Both sides vow to lodge appeals if they lose the case before Sauls, setting Gore's case on a track that could lead once again to the high court in Washington. The judge was expected to rule late yesterday.
Republicans increased pressure on Gore to step aside.
"America needs to move forward, not be bogged down by the desperation of one man's obsession," said Rep. J.C. Watts, R-Okla, the fourth-ranking member of the House.
In Florida, the state's House speaker, a Republican, prepared to approve a special session to choose presidential electors — presumably supporters of Bush. But the effort was moving slowly and lawmakers still needed the consent of the cautious Senate president, Republican John McKay.
Bush's political operatives have signaled to McKay that they approve of his go-slow approach, fearing backlash from voters under an intense public relations campaign by Democrats.
Bush himself urged caution.
"We ought to take this process one day at a time." Bush said.
A Washington Post-ABC News survey suggested that 56 percent of Americans want the Legislature to avoid the unsettled presidential election. Equal numbers want Congress to butt out, though the U.S. Constitution gives state and federal lawmakers a role in the Electoral College process.'

Professors to discuss presidential elections
Four professors will participate in a discussion tomorrow about other presidential elections that have been as close as this year's deadlocked race.
Jessica Bankston, Albuquerque, N.M., junior and legislative director for Student Legislative Awareness Board, will moderate the discussion, titled "Cliffhangers 101," at 10 a.m. at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
Paul Schumaker, chairman of the political science department, will address this fall's close election and answer questions.
kari Brooks, assistant professor of history, will discuss the 1960 race between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon; Jonathan Earle, assistant professor of history, will talk about the 1824 election between John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay; and Philip Paludan, professor of history, will address the 1876 race between Rutherford Hayes and Samuel Tilden.
Bankston said the discussion could give more meaning to this year's election for students.
"I think most people were misled into thinking this is a unique situation in our past," she said.
"Students interested in politics or history would be well served to go to the event and see how this election is similar to other close elections in the past."

NASA might delay unfurling solar panels

ish unfurling the international space station's newly attached set of powerful solar panels.
SPACE CENTER. Houston — NASA officials were assessing their options yesterday about when to fin-
the debut of the $600-million solar wings was incomplete as only the right panel was deployed Sunday. Although the right wing has started generating electricity, some of its tension cables appeared to be slack.
Engineers are trying to figure out if this will be a problem in unfurling the left wing and if it should be delayed until today, when astronauts on the space shuttle Endeavour conduct their second of three spacewalks during this mission.
Index finds economy may slow down in 2001
NEW YORK — A key gauge of future economic activity fell 0.2 percent in October, suggesting further slowing for the U.S. economy in the new year.
the Conference Board said yesterday that its Composite Index of Leading Economic Indicators declined to 105.5 in October after registering no change in September and dropping 1.1 percent in August.
The index is watched closely because it gives an indication of where the overall U.S. economy is headed in the next three to six months.
Palestinians injured in battles with Israelis
JERUSALEM — Heavy gun battles raged Sunday night in what the Israeli army said was an apparent attempt by Palestinian gunmen to take over an Israeli enclave in Bethlehem.
Palestinians said the fighting broke out after soldiers and Jewish settlers attacked Muslim worshippers. The confrontation lasted hours, and at one point, Israeli helicopters aiming at Palestinian gunmen fired two rockets at the Aida refugee camp near Bethlehem in the West Bank, the army said.
Twelve Palestinians were injured, two who were in serious condition with gunshot wounds, Palestinian hospitals said.

group back to the negotiating table. Vicente Fox, who became Mexico's first opposition president in 71 years Friday, made immediate overtures to the Zapatista rebels in southern Chiapas state, whose 1994 rebellion had been a thorn in the government's side ever since.
Apataista leader Subcomandante Marcos said Saturday that while he still distrusted Fox, his fighters were ready to return to peace talks.
He even said he would travel to Mexico City personally to push for an Indian-rights law in Congress.
Pakistan lets separatists negotiate with India
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — Pakistan made a new offer in its long and bitter dispute with India about Kashmir, saying for the first time that it will not oppose one-on-one talks between Kashmir separatists and the Indian government.
The statement was a significant concession from Pakistan, which in the past has said it must be included in any negotiations on Kashmir, a Himalayan region that has been a focus of bitter contention with India for decades.
The offer comes amid renewed violence in Indian-ruled Kashmir, where an explosion yesterday in Baramullah killed one soldier and injured several others. Four civilians also were hurt, officials said.
Germans cut down swastika tree formation
BERLIN — Fall colors have always brought an embarrassment to one tranquil German village: When the needles turned golden brown, the trees suddenly formed a swastika visible from the air.
No one quite remembers how the pastoral plains north of Berlin wound up with this lasting Nazi symbol more than 60 years ago.
Whatever the history, local officials want to make sure the past no longer flowers in the rural village of Zernikow — and chain saw crews moved in yesterday to take the trees down.
Forest wardens thought they had banished Adolf Hitler's ghost five years ago when they cut down some of the larches, which change color in the fall and contrast with surrounding evergreen pines to form the swastika.
But the remaining trees grew to fill in the spaces, and the symbol was visible again this fall.

Gore dealt double blow by circuit, Supreme courts
continued from page 1A
Gore's team was organizing a campaign to discredit the Legislature and the state's Republican governor, Jeb Bush.
Gore himself was briefed Sunday by his legal team about potential legal options to counter the Florida Legislature. Gore's lawyers argued that the U.S. Constitution gave legislatures the power to select electors, but Congress sets the date for them to be picked. That date, they argued, was the Nov. 7 election; the Florida legislature established the rules for that election and now has no further input on the selection of electors. Gore lawyers said.
Officials familiar with the meeting stressed that Gore
was not asked to sign off on any legal action against the Legislature and did not authorize any.
Gore, Bush, lawmakers in Florida, congressmen in Washington and scores of judges presiding over the more than 40 lawsuits are focused on two deadlines: Dec. 12, when state electors are chosen, and Dec. 18, when the Electoral College meets.
Without a clear resolution, the Constitution throws the election in the laps of a divided Congress.
Just three days after hearing historic arguments, the U.S. Supreme Court invited Florida's top court to clarify its reasons for extending the deadline for hand-counted ballots in some Democratic counties. A spokesman for the state high court said the justices would reply to the order.
tues would reply to the order. "This is sufficient reason for us to decline at this time to review, the federal questions asserted to be present" in the contested election, the court said in its unsigned, unanimous opinion.
Florida's seven justices, all of whom were appointed by Democratic governors, had ordered Secretary of State Katherine Harris to accept recount totals for several days after the state's Nov. 14 deadline. Bush appealed, but the Supreme Court did not rule on the merits of his filing.
By passing the case back to Florida, the nation's highest court leaves in doubt gains made by Gore through manual recounts after Nov. 14. Those totals trimmed Bush's lead from 930 votes to 537 out of 6 million cast.

Ceramics sale to build scholarship fund
Meghan Bainum
megan bannon
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas ceramics and sculpture students are going to try to make a little money off their homework and do a good deed for fellow ceramics students at the KU ceramics department's holiday sale.
The sale will be from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Thursday on the third floor of the Art and Design building. Part of the money raised will go toward setting up a ceramics scholarship for ceramics majors.
Joe Zeller, professor of design, said the scholarship, which will include $500 in endowment money, may be up to $1.500.The money will go toward giving ceramics students the opportunity to take extra classes and to have more opportunities for study in their field. The scholarship will be awarded for the first time this spring.
"A real goal here is to create an opportunity for students to do something that would literally change their life." Zeller said.
Sarah Hoppe, Louisberg senior,
said another thing the scholarship would do was make scholarship recipients' work better and give them more time for their art.
"From the outside it seems very easy, but it's actually extremely time consuming," Hoppe said. "People lose a large percent of work in firing and before it even reaches kiln. Therefore, it's really important to spend a lot of time in studio, and having that extra money helps you have extra time."
Hoppe also said even though she was a senior and would not reap the benefits of the ceramics scholarship, she thought having an award would give students extra incentive to aim for excellence in their work.
"I'm fully willing to have one third of the work I sell go to the department because I think that the people coming up need something to work towards," she said. "It helps the department to pursue excellence with the work they are doing."
Zeller said pieces that had accumulated during the semester would be on sale. Pieces can be purchased for as little as $5 and up to as much as a couple of hundred dollars. But most pieces will be from $10 to $30, and Zeller said students could find something for everyone there.
"The work ranges from routine cups and bowls to much more esoteric stuff like sculptures, studies of sculptures and vases," Zeller said. "Students are among our better customers. It's a chance for them to get something made by KU classmates or peers."
Past sales have raised about $10,000 for the scholarship fund and $20,000 for students.
Zeller said the sale, which is in its fourth year, also was a way for ceramics students interested in earning a living as ceramic artists or sculptors to see what the next step of selling their work would be like.
A group of about seven art students stayed late Friday to take the next step in finishing some of the hundreds of pieces that will be up for sale Thursday. The students were joining in, not only to earn money and get real-life experience, but to do their part and contribute to the scholarship.
Zeller stayed late overseeing the process as well.
"It's a real sense of community here," he said. "Everybody is doing their part."

Where there's no smoke there could be a Prairifire
By Matt Merkel-Hess
A new restaurant focusing on American cuisine and wine in a smoke-free environment opened two weeks ago in downtown Lawrence.
Prairiefire, 724 Massachusetts St., opened after three and a half years of planning and an eight-month renovation to the building, said owner Steve Wilson. He said the menu focused on fresh, seasonal food and that almost everything — from sauces, breads and smoked meats — was on the staff of 25

Kansan staff writer
"We are a scratch kitchen," Wilson said. "We oversee most of the processes involved with making our food."
Wilson said the restaurant had seen a full house every night since opening, and the 140-selection wine list, which starts at about $15 a bottle, had been popular, even with college students.
"Wine is a big focus of the restaurant, and our wine list is aggressively priced." Wilson said. "There are a lot of college-aged wine enthusiasts."
Stephanie Rogers, Overland Park senior, went to Prairiefire this past weekend for drinks. She said she normally didn't go out to restaurants such as Prairiefire, but it was a good alternative for special occasions.
"I think the price is reasonable when students want to go someplace nicer," she said. "It opens up your options."
Main dish prices range from approximately $15 to $30, and pasta dishes start at about $7.
Prairiefire is a smoke-free dining establishment. Wilson said there was a large demand for a smoke-free environment.
"We went smoke-free first for the benefit of our employees, second for the benefit of our customers and third to enjoy the wine," he said.
Wilson said the American-cuisine menu, which offers items from different regions around the county, includes soups, salads, pasta and main courses of salmon, catfish, chicken, steak and vegetarian options. The menu will change with the season and availability of fresh ingredients, he said.
Now, the bar and the bistro, or street-level dining, are open. The upstairs will open in about two weeks. Wilson said the restaurant would begin serving lunch after the first of the year. There also will be a private wine cellar dining room for groups of 20 to 25, and people can eat at the bar.
"It's designed to appeal to a wide variety of people," Wilson said. "There's really no occasion where it wouldn't be appropriate to come in here."
According to the University Web site, "E-mail use that violates the rights of others, law, or University policy or regulation, is a serious abuse. Such actions may subject an individual to termination of account privileges and/or appropriate disciplinary and/or legal action."
Prairiefire is open Tuesday through Sunday, 5 p.m. to 10 p.m. for dinner service, and 5 p.m. to 12 p.m. for the bar. For questions or reservations, call the restaurant at 842-8889.
Forwards also can be dangerous. Some may contain computer viruses, hoaxes or involve scams.
Chain, spam e-mails violate Internet policy
By Katie Teske Special to the Kansan
Spam is defined as unsolicited and usually commercial e-mail sent to a large number of addresses. Sending spam and chain e-mail is against University policy, said Wes Hubert, associate director of Academic Computing.
Spam e-mail can be frustrating to deal with,but it's also illegal for University of Kansas Internet users to send.
Edited by Amy Randolph
To help prevent groups from getting your personal information, Paul said to fill out the minimum requirements when registering a purchased item and to not give your real address when posting to a news group.
Craig Paul, technical support programmer/analyst and postmaster for the University, said each day he received about 1,400 e-mails in the postmaster account that had been sent to invalid addresses. They often contained spam, even some that originated in China. But Paul said only one or two people each day complained of spam. Most people just delete it, he said.
John Senn, St. Louis sophomore, said he sometimes received an excessive number of forwards, but he generally thought they were funny. He said he didn't usually send them on because he thought most people on his list had already seen them.
He also advised being cautious with e-mails containing phrases such as "Make money fast" and triple X sites such as "Hot Sex Site."
Hubert said anything asking for mail to be distributed, whether it offered compensation or not, was questionable.
The pyramid scheme is one common scam type. The basic premise is that the "victim" gives those running the scheme a set sum of money or an object and is promised a huge financial return. Those at the top of the pyramid never invest anything; they just collect on what other people invest. They have nothing to lose if the flow of money or objects is broken, but the people at the bottom of the pyramid do. This scheme has been around for a long time in U.S. mail.
"E-mail is just another medium for pyramid schemes," Hubert said.
Some e-mails may simply contain false information, such as one that warms of a drug called Progesterex that is used with the date-rape drug, Rohypol, to render victims sterile as well as helpless.
Some Web sites list common e-mails and inform users whether they are hoaxes. David Emery on About.com, a general information Web site, provides Internet users with an alphabetical list of popular e-mails and rates them as a hoax, urban legend, real rumor or junk.
While this site provides some useful information, Hubert said to realize just because something is not on the list does not mean it is a valid e-mail.

Perspective Seasoned KU student offers insight
I've been doing this college thing on and off for seven years. As you might imagine, I know a thing or two about procrastination
How a thing or two worthate preparation
As the stress of papers, tests and exams
build up, you will suddenly be energized to
clean out your closet or play the age-old "Six
Degrees of Kevin Bacon." These hazards are
especially dangerous for freshmen facing their
first series of college exams.
That's why I've put together a list of procrastination pitfalls that any student should avoid during these final weeks of school. Don't:
2. Play video games. It's not a good thing to try to go undefeated for a whole season of NFL2K, or whatever game your game system has, before letting yourself go to bed.
3. Decide now is a good time to watch the Godfather trilogy, the Star Wars trilogy, or any
other funogy that you haven't seen before. (If you do watch the Godfather trilogy, however, order a pizza with sausage and olives, drink Chianti and don't go for a car ride with any of your "brothers.")
4. Start dating anyone new. When you start a relationship, you want to spend lots of time with the new playtoy. It's hard to concentrate on studies. When you try to "study together" you usually end up studying

anatomy rather than your supply and demand curves ... er, you know what I mean. Not that this is a problem for me. Most of the co-eds around campus offer to walk me across Jayhawk Boulevard, I'm so old. (Let's just say I started high school before some of you were learning long division.)
The exception is the "lust and wait" routine. You lust after some cute girl/guy in your class, put him or her on a pedestal and stammer out unintelligent sentences to him or her every three weeks. You then wait until the last class, or better yet after the exam, to ask him or her "for coffee or whatever." She's leaving that night, so the best you can do is buy her a Diet Coke and walk her to her car. This way you can brag to your friends that you finally made the move on this chick they're sick of hearing abo
5. Teach yourself how to build in a Web page strictly with HTML.
6. Try to pick up women/men in chat rooms of any kind, i.e. "adult," "Joe C. Lives" or Dawson's Creek.
(Author's note: Joe C. is the vertically challenged man in Kid Rock's posse who died last week.)
7. Celebrate 21st birthdays. Although this might sound impractical to some, you're really saving two to three days by delaying your kidney failure until after exams. You lose half a day when you start drinking the night before you turn 21, after which you go out to the bars at midnight to drink legally for the first time. Your actual birthday is shot because you're recovering from the slight hangover, though all is well on your birthday night when you get blasted again. Finally, the third and following day you're too hungover to do anything but sleep and dry heave.
8. Write columns on how not to procrastinate
9. Decide you have to call up all six of your old high school buddies to "catch up."
10. Try to teach yourself how to draw political cartoons when you can't even draw a tie-tac toe board.
11. After months of eating cheesy puffs and 44 oz. Mountain Dews, decide to plan out a daily workout/diet regimen that lasts 'til June.
12. Rent High Fidelity. You'll want to call up all your all-time top five breakups (boyfriends/girlfriends). If you're from Johnson County, however, four out of five of them probably go to KU anyway.
13. Call home. If there's any chance you will get stressed out by it, delay the dysfunctional joy of your home until you leave for the holiday break.
14. "Experiment" with illicit drugs. That's what the first three months of school were for.
I hope bringing some of these hazards to light will help you end the semester on a productive and stress-free note. I gotta go write my three late papers, read four books, write two more papers due in the next three weeks and rearrange my room after reading Feng Shui for Dummies!

Brazilian tennis star plays for love of game
Tennis has a new king. Gustavo Kueren claimed the 1. position in the sport last
Sunday by beating Andre Agassi at the Masters Cup, a tournament that pairs the top eight tennis players of the year and is held in Lisbon. Portugal.
Guga, as he is known in my country, joined the Brazilian Davis Cup team in 1997 and used to travel by bus to the most distant tournaments in Brazil — a country bigger than the contiguous United States.
Guga never went to college or received spons-
since he was a teenager. The boy from Florianopolis lost his father when he was 8, and since then had been supported by his mother and grandmother, who attend his most important tournaments. Guga is coached by the same coach he has had since he was 14.
But in 1997, the bus rides ended Kuerten became the lowest-ranked tennis player ever to win a Grand Slam, which entails winning the four most important tournaments in tennis; the
Cássio R.

Australian Open, the French Open, Wimbledon and the U.S. Open. He won the French Open at Roland Garros in Paris by beating the three previous tournament winners — Thomas Muster, Vegetygan Kafelnikov and Sergi Bruguera — improving his ranking from 66 to 15 in two magnificent weeks.
Since then, Guga has had to overcome many obstacles—a number of which were imposed by Brazilians themselves. For a country that has traditionally had the best soccer teams in the world, officially leading the world soccer rankings for seven straight years, a tennis player who wasn't even a top 10 player wasn't big deal at first.
Tennis was never a big sport in Brazil, and
Guga also overcame this hurdle en route to becoming No. 1. Every newspaper in Brazil now follows all his games, and some major newspapers send their own reporters all around the world to follow him. Guga's fans, like me, also travel to see some of his games. I have seen Guga in three Davis Cup games against Spain in 1990 and in the 1999 French Open in Paris, when he lost in the quarterfinals.
He deserves all the attention he gets from the media and fans, Guga, who is 24, already has won 17 ATP tournaments — both in singles and doubles, and also has won more than 60 games this year, which represents almost 80 percent of his matches. He came from being a member of a humble Brazilian family to becoming the highest-paid tennis player in the world, winning $3.45 million in 2000 alone.
Guga's accomplishments are outstanding, but if you take into consideration that he comes from a country that still doesn't give support to most of its athletes, his efforts should be considered heroic.
The Brazilian became the first tennis player since Michael Chang in 1990 to beat Sampras and Agassi en route to a championship. Guga has won the first Champions Race ever. He leads the ATP ranking.
All that has forced the ATP Tour to make Guga the focus of all its marketing campaigns — even in the United States and Europe. Guga already has two Grand Slams, and he has an incredible personality. In addition, he still can count on his youth — unlike Agassi and Sampras, the two dominant players from the past decade.
Guga, like most Brazilians, doesn't play for the money; for Guga, tennis is not a business. Tennis is a passion — and the king has come to stay.
Bellieve me.
So, in case you don't know who your favorite player will be when Agassi and Sampras retire in the next couple of years, put Guga at the top of your list.

Editorial
Students should honor Lewis Hall service contracts
Performing community service would enrich the lives of residents.
Lewis Hall residents complaining about community service requirement should remember the conditions under which they were admitted to the residence hall.
Residents signed contracts in the fall, agreeing to complete one hour of community service a month and a reflective journal entry to accompany each hour.
Students under contract at Lewis Hall should embrace the opportunity to diversify their lives with service.
After its renovation in 1999, Lewis Hall began to emphasize student involvement in community and leadership events. As a result, the housing contract requires its residents to complete a service requirement.
Some students felt they were presented an ultimatum when asked to sign a contract that demanded community service participation. However, Lewis Hall should be supported for advocating public service.
Those unwilling to participate should forfeit their right to live in Lewis Hall. There is a waiting list of students who would be willing to do one hour of service a week to live in such a nice dorm. Approximately one third of the residents have not yet fulfilled the provisions.
One study shows increased service/involvement raises participants' grade point averages — one of the reasons Lewis added the requirement. Although this reasoning seems strong, it is inferior to the argument that serving the community is simply a good thing to do. Lewis Hall should promote its program with community and personal enrichment as the motivation. Becoming involved is a rewarding experience. Service and reflection can build a student's awareness of the broader community.
The unwillingness of Lewis Hall students to take personal responsibility for fulfilling their contracts should be denounced by the Lewis Hall review committee. One shouldn't need to force community service, but, at Lewis Hall, it is a requirement to which residents agreed. If a service program is established and agreed upon by contract, residents must follow through.

Letters to the Editor
Editorial mocks basic premise of democracy
Ben Emby's editorial of Nov. 28, "High courts should rule on election," is dizzying in its contradictory nature. Ostensibly, he is arguing for the protection of the "spirit of the democratic process" (whatever that might be), but he calls for the "courts" (plural, so which ones?) to "deliver the last word on the election." So the most undemocratic institution in the country — whose members serve for life in most cases, whose members are unaccountable to the people — should decide the election. Hooray for democracy!
election. Fellow of the
Mr. Embry attacks Florida Secretary of State
Katherine Harris for certifying the election — but

loves so much.
He claims to seek to protect the "credibility of the democratic process" by making sure "politics are ruled by law"—but he simultaneously acknowledges that the courts must enter "unexplored legal territory" in making a decision.
Hardly rule by law or democracy!
Harry L. by law. The only violation of the democratic spirit is a violation of the Democratic spirit: The Democrats didn't win. Mr. Embry's illogical, meandering and ill-informed piece demonstrates quite clearly the real failure in American democracy: The people, the voters, don't have a clue.

"Sex On the Hill" promotes sexual irresponsibility
I wish I could respect the Kansan. I really do.
But with features such as "Sex on the Hill" and Jayplay, I'm having a little trouble with that.
As sexual propriety declines, STDs, divorce rates, unwanted pregnancy and abortions increase. With the two previously mentioned special features, I believe the Kansan has imparted a destructive philosophy on its readers.
desirteffective I strongly believe the *Kansan* should be presenting the real facts. Maybe a headline on the front page reading "Over half of sexually active people have genital warts." Or "20 types of STDs can't be prevented with contraceptives." Maybe the *Kansan* should do a feature on why every new marriage has a 43 percent chance of ending in divorce. Why doesn't it mention that four of every 10 females get pregnant before they turn 20? I did 20 minutes of searching on the Internet, and I found enough information to realize beyond a shadow of a doubt that premarital sex is stupid. And that doesn't even take into account the religious and psychological consequences of such actions.
In Jayplay, I read that Dailey claimed sexual sparks are of lasting importance in a serious relationship. The entire article argued that sex was important because: 1) It's fun. 2) It's fun. 3) It's necessary for a relationship. The story didn't mention STDs, pregnancy, or abortion. It didn't
mention how premarital sex leads to infidelity and divorce. Important to a relationship? More like important to a loosy relationship. Let's face it: If you base a marriage on sex, you're going to have problems when you start getting older.
Sexual responsibility is abstinence. Period.
Sexual responsibility is abstinence. Period.

Students can live full lives without the risks of alcohol
Reading in the Kansan Nov. 29 about the student who was raped in her residence hall room left me with a deep sense of sadness. According to the story, alcohol played a major role. I have worked on this campus for 17 years, and in that time, I have read story after story about students under the influence of alcohol who rape or are raped, run over by cars while crossing streets, killed from falling out of windows, horribly injured or killed in car accidents, die from alcohol poisoning and are injured in fights. Yet little has changed in the attitude of students toward drinking alcohol over the years. Students still drink to get drunk, oblivious, it seems, to the dangers that exist to them and their friends.
their friends:
Let me say there is a better, safer way to live life. Many students on this campus live full and exciting lives without the benefit of alcohol. The students with whom I work find satisfaction and fulfillment in their relationships with Jesus. They wake up in the morning with a clear head, a clear conscience and a calm stomach. They know where they have been the night before and with whom. Although they still live in an often-dangerous world, they are avoiding the dangers that come with losing control of your senses.
I implore all KU students who love to party to rethink what you are doing, not only for your own sakes, but for those who care deeply for you. Enough of the heart-breaking stories of death and abuse. There is a better way of life. If you want, I will help you find it.

Coca-Cola's beverage domination of campus isn't quite complete
As most everyone who has set foot on Jayhawk Boulevard knows, the University of Kansas is a Coke campus. This means that our beverage options available in any academic building, cafe or on-campus dining center must be branded with that "classic" script logo. (I have internalized any and all advertising from the galore of bright red vending machines and soda fountains. Only a "classic" beverage is good enough for me, even though "image is nothing.")
I bow down to the beverage gods most days on campus. However, in the mornings I don't always feel like paying homage to the Coca-Cola gods. When I make my daily breakfast stop at E's Express, I am usually craving something a little less brown, syrupy and gaseous. Would I be making too much of a generalization if I said that juice is a widely consumed and possibly choice beverage for many in the morning?
During my freshman year, I was able to eat my bagel and drink my little carton of orange juice at E's Express every day before class. When they took away my orange juice and instead gave me cans of Welch's, I was OK after a brief period of mourning and adjustment. Just last week, I went to my wonderful basement eatery for a bagel and my newly beloved Welch's orange and pineapple juice to find I had been deprived of this juice as well. Coca-Cola is now sponsoring my breakfast, too. A nice bowl of Cheerios with Coke, brought to you by Coca-Cola. Or I could always have some toast washed down with a large bottle of Sprite with the added bonus of maybe one day collecting the cap that will send me to the Super Bowl.
the Carpenter. After overcoming strong feelings of hysteria and vitamin C withdrawal, I realized something. The final phase of total Coca-Cola domination on campus is not yet complete. True, E's Express can no longer serve my cherished Welch's juices. They do not wear the brand name of our generous neighborhood dictator. I'm not yet showing in Diet Coke and brushing my teeth with Mr. Pibb, though. Coca-Cola still has some work to do.
I love our super-despot of caffeinated soft drinks, even after my juice was viciously stolen away. I realize my morning dose of a non-Coke liquid is not conducive to an effectively run beverage tyrann. Well, problem solved. In fact, after we've converted the plumbing system in residence halls, we could always fill the Chi Omega fountain with Coke, just in case Coca-Cola isn't quite convinced of their monopoly on campus.

Closeness of Florida race makes recount paramount
I am writing in response to Jimmy Lightfoot's Nov. 20 guest column. As an American citizen, I get the right to vote when I turn 18. More than that, I also have the right for that vote to be counted in favor of my candidate. This laughing stock of an election may be caught up in legal turmoil, but it has not lost its purpose.
Al Gore heard the complaints of his constituents in Florida and acted on their behalf. He is not "attempting to find any manipulation of the law that will lead to his presidency," as Lightfoot stated. He is only trying to unclamp George W. Bush's hand from the mouth of this country.
Any race as close as the one in Florida should be under this type of scrutiny, and determining a winner is the obviously the main objective. When the two machine recounts provided distinctly different vote counts, Al Gore asked for a recount by hand. In fact, George W. Bush signed a law in his home state of Texas stating that if any vote was disputed, a hand recount would be more accurate than a machine one. Bush has put up a lot of fuss for someone who is sure he has won the presidency. If there is truly no question about who received the most votes in Florida, Bush should have no problem allowing as many recounts to take place as deemed necessary. He is the winner ... right?

Big Jay has some issues with hygiene
You know him well — tall,
always happy and a great person
to protect you from roving
Wildcats or Cornhuskers.
No, not Eric Chenowith. He has a hard enough time defending himself against the Kansan.
I'm talking about Big Jay, Kansas' official mascot who pumps up crowds at all the football, basketball and even volleyball matches. And while Big Jay does a great job even at the losing football games and blowout basketball games, I do have a problem with the oversized bird — he stinks!
I first detected the stanky odor walking by the target at the two men's and two women's basketball games last week. Seated next to two of my guy friends, I assumed the rank stench was coming from them — it normally is.
Not in the I-play-for-the-Chicago
Bears-so-I automatically-stink
kind of way, but in the I-smell-like-
an-old-Teva way, just like my old
roommate.
But on this occasion, I glanced to my right to see the Big Jay strolling by, not noticing the three children and two adults that passed out behind him. If the smell is this bad on the outside, imagine what the Big Jay himself must undergo each game.
Granted, there has been a rash of games in the past week, and the ventilation system inside the suit is as archaic as Joe Patterno's toupee. But someone either needs to burn it or clean it — and I mean fast.
Those scratch n-sniff stickers could block out even the worst football player's feet — believe me, I've been in the locker room.
This info isn't anything new to Spirit Squad coordinator Cathy Jarzemkoski — she admitted that in the past two weeks Big Jay's smell has come to her attention (how couldn't it?). Better storage facilities, ventilation and a long-awaited date with a cleaning crew could help stop the production of designer paper germ blockers currently being marketed by Nike.
Optimally, Jarzemkoski would like the suit to be cleaned once a month. But high cleaning fees (more than $50 per session) and a tight schedule (eight games in one week) have forced Big Jay to live in a suit that hasn't been cleaned in more than a month!
There's probably scum worse than Terry Bowden growing in there.
Now, as much as I feel sorry for the fans that have to endure the stench, I feel as sorry for the Kansas students who permanently harm their nasal passages week in and week out to pose as Kansas' mascot.
Or else, my winter break plans may include a big bonfire with you-know-who as the guest of honor.
Kaushie in a Floesmoor, Ill., senior in journalism.
If the second-hand smoke at the Yacht Club doesn't kill them, the smell will certainly send them into early-retirement. I have three words: Febreze, Febreze, Febreze.
I understand the financial constraints. After all, Nike has been stingy with their money lately: Athletes receive only one new pair of shoes a week now — please, hold back those tears.
But now is the perfect time to get that suit cleaned — the men's team is out of town this week, and the women don't play until Saturday. I'd be willing to throw in a few bucks to the cause, even on my meager journalism salary.
Please clean the suit — and save hundreds of noses everywhere.
Players seek rebounding dominance
By Michael Rigg sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportwriter
The reason behind the Jayhawks' failure in the last two NCAA Tournaments is as clear as the backboard glass to Kansas coach Roy Williams.
"Two years ago, we were in the tournament, and Kentucky gets a second opportunity to make a three to tie it up and we lose the game," Williams said. "Last year, we go one ahead of Duke. They miss a shot. They get a second opportunity to put it in. We lose the game. So we are going to be more demanding than ever on the backboards."
That demand has fallen squarely on the shoulders of the three seniors on the Kansas roster. For the first three years of their careers, forwards Luke Axtell and Kenny Gregory were known more as scorers than rebounders. Center Eric Chenowith, meanwhile, showed flashes of rebounding brilliance but has led the Jayhawks in rebounding only once despite his 7-foot-1 frame.
But all three are out to prove their backboard dominance this season. Gregory, who averaged 3.6 boards per game through his first three seasons, has upped his mark to 7.7 rebounds per game this season. Axelt, whose shoot-first-rebound-later approach rarely carries him to the glass, has upped his average from 2.8 to 3.0 rebounds per game while playing on a severely sprained ankle. As for Chenowith, he finished third on the team last season with 5.6 boards, and he doesn't want a repeat performance.
"I want to lead the team in rebounding," said Cenowith, who does, in fact, lead Kansas with 9.9 rebounds per game. "There's nothing wrong with me saying that. Coach has always said that he's never been mad at a
"Kenny is shooting the ball better, but we need his help on the backboards, especially with the way he can jump." Roy Williams

player for being too selfish on rebounds."
Axtell, meanwhile, set a career high with eight rebounds in the Jayhawks' last game against Illinois State. Apparently, the mark wasn't that big a deal to Axtell, who didn't even know until after the game he had set a new career mark.
Seven of those rebounds were on the defensive side of the floor, which alludes to the fact that Axtell is usually the one shooting the ball on offense, not rebounding it.
"We were told to go to the boards," Axell said. "I didn't even know that I had that many until coach told me."
Still, Axell said he knew that he would have to improve his rebounding on offense and that he must be quicker in order to do
"You definitely have to crash fast." Axtell said. "Because when the ball goes to the post, I'm looking for it to be kicked out to me. So if I put up a shot, I've got to be quick to get down there."
Gregory has been quick to improve on both his rebounding and his shooting this season, and Williams said the improvement of both could only help the Javhaws.
"Kenny is shooting the ball better," Williams said. "But we need his help on the backboards, especially with the way he can jump."

Hitter's skill resonates on team
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Nancy Bell may be relatively short in stature,but she's long on results.
For the past four seasons, Bell, a senior outside hitter on the Kansas volleyball team, has battled regularly against players who had an almost 12-inch height advantage over her 5-foot-10 build.
But while she wasn't the tallest player on the court this season, she was one of the most effective, averaging 3.59 kills per game for the 15-14 Jayhawks.
While Bell's height makes her taller than many women on Mount Oread, Bell is a relative midget in the Big 12 Conference. The Big 12 is known for tall players on the front line, so when Bell squares off against players such as Texas Tech's 6-foot-8 Colleen Smith, Bell must use his smarts instead of her size.
"Growing up, I was always told I was
too small," said Bell, who hails from Orland Park, Ill. "I said, 'Hey, I don't think so.' My favorite quote is that it's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog."
Kansas coach Ray Bechard said Bell had performed admirably despite being vertically challenged in the Big 12.
"She's not going to out-jump people, so she uses a variety of shots." Beachd said. "And usually, she comes up with the right one."
Bell nailed down an early season upset of Colorado with 18 kills. And in her final game against Oklahoma, Bell nailed 10 kills to lead the Jayhawks to a three-game pistol-whipping of the Sooners.
But Bechard said the statistics and the upset victories wouldn't be the only things he would remember about Bell.
"Statistically, she's the leader in many categories, but she provides a lot of energy and enthusiasm," Bechard said. "And she really brightens your day." She
will be a success as she moves on, and the volleyball program will miss her."
Bell said she would miss the volleyball program, as well, as she prepared for life after volleyball.
"It's going to be strange because I'm not going to have that regular day-to-day schedule that I'm used to," Bell said. "(Volleyball) is something that I've done more than half my life, and to have it be over is suddenly going to be strange."
Luckily, Bell said she was prepared for her life beyond Kansas. Bell will graduate in May as a secondary education major and become a teacher.
Bell glided through the fall semester, posting a 3.0 grade point average en route to collecting second team academic All-Big 12 honors.
But the honor shouldn't surprise anyone who watched Bell this season. In some way, Bell has been head and shoulders above her competition all year long.

'Hawks hope to regroup, heal after early setbacks
By Zac Hunter

Kansan sportswriter
Two losses in the first seven games weren't exactly what the Kansas women's basketball team was hoping for when the season began.
But what the Jayhawks (5-2) were hoping for and what actually happened were two different things. Now they have to decide where to go from here.
After playing five games in eight days, the 'Hawks will get a chance to heal their wounds and get in some solid practice time. Kansas has all week before it takes the floor for an exhibition game against Washburn.
"We haven't had a practice in quite a while," said junior center Kristin Geoffroy.
"We want to do some things even in spite of the fact that we've got a lot of new faces."
Marian Washington Kansas women's basketball coach
"And when we do,we have to focus on what offenses we are going to run and what defenses we are going to run."
That leaves less time for fundamentals such as free throw shooting, which cost Kansas dearly in Saturday's loss to St. Joseph. Kansas hit only 5-of-10 chances from the line and lost by three points.
"If you look at the stats, they hurt us at the free throw line," said coach Marian Washington. "We didn't shoot very well."
While the Jayhawks were connecting at a 50-percent clip, St. Joe was shooting a lethal 94 percent, missing only one out of its 17 attempts.
But senior forward Jaclyn Johnson said she didn't understand why Kansas wasn't getting as many attempts as St. Joe's.
With two losses in its last five games, the week-long break for Kansas couldn't have
"I understand that they have points of emphasis, but if they are going to call that little ticky tack on our end, they need to call it on their end," Johnson said. "We're bigger than these girls, and contact is going to happen."
come at a better time, especially because conference play is less than a month away
The 'Hawks have only four games before the Big 12 Conference opener against Baylor.
Kansas was picked to finish fifth by the Big 12 coaches, and early on, the Jayhawks looked forward to proving them wrong. Now, that confidence may be a little bit rattled after a couple of early losses.
Despite that, Washington reiterated that the Jayhawks still hoped to accomplish their goals despite a couple of early setbacks.
"We want to do some things even in spite of the fact that we've got a lot of new faces." Washington said. "I'm trying to keep them real positive because they have been working."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 5). Risks are appealing, but don't go too far. A friend who's affectionate now can be fair-wathered. Your spirits are high in December, and with good reason. The money's coming in around January, and it seems like there's more than enough. February is mentally stimulating, and April's for passionate frolics. Get down to business in May and finish something you promised. An old partnership proves profitable in June. Play it conservative in July. Friends lead to new projects in October. Stick to your budget all year. That habit will serve you quite well.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
You're getting more and more curious, so go ahead and ask. Be polite about it, though. Something you discover may be a bit disturbing, so discretion is advised.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Something you thought was a good deal may have turned a tad sour. Better check your bank accounts.
You may be spending more than you realized.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
Sometimes you learn the most from the person you like the least. If you're having trouble understanding a real jerk, get a friend to translate for you. Maybe your problem is that the obnoxious one is saying something you don't want to hear.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
You are working your fingers to the bone, and keeping on your toes, too. This is not an easy position to maintain, as you well know. If you do an excellent job, which is likely, let people know. Don't suffer in silence!
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8.
Your enthusiasm is close to boundless. That feels good, but could get you into trouble. Don't race off and leave an important job unfinished. A practical, hardworking woman will not be pleased if you leave her with a mess to clean up.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
A renovation project could be costing you more than you've planned. You want the best, but getting it's not easy. Neither is agreeing upon what the best is. Perfection is in the eye of the beholder, as you're discovering. Be patient.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is an 8.
Your mate or partner wants to be the leader. You don't feel passive, so this could cause a problem. Stand up for issues you care most about, and do it with grace; you'll gain more points that way.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
You do well under pressure. You can stay cool and calm when everyone else freaks out. That skill could serve you well, and soon. Be prepared. And charge top dollar for your services. They'll pay it, gladly.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8.
You may feel lost in love, and that's wonderful. If the two of you agree to keep costs down, you will not have a problem. If your date doesn't like that, well, maybe he or she's not that wonderful after all
P
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
You're in the mood to rip things out and replace them. You've been thinking about this for a while, and you should be almost ready to act. Think of what might go wrong before it does, just to be on the safe side.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
You and your friends are on a winning streak.
You're learning fast, and it shows. Meanwhile,
don't believe everything you hear. A rumor may be
untrue. Find out the whole story before you pass it
along.
C
2
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
You might get an increase in your paycheck if you ask for more than you think you're worth. A friend may tell you it can't be done, but don't be diverted. You might not get as much as you request, but that's why you want to start high.

yesterday as finalists for the Helsman Trophy.
The award to the nation's best college football player, will be presented by the Downtown Athletic
Club on Saturday night.
The four finalists are the leading vote-getters in month-long balloting by 922 sports writers, broadcasters and former Heisman winners.
Balloting continues through Friday, but the finalists are well ahead of other contenders.
Brees, a finalist last year, is the Big Ten's career passing leader with 11,517 yards and led Purdue to the Rose Bowl for the first time since 1966. He threw for 3,393 yards this season with 24 touchdowns and 12 interceptions, and he also ran for 516 yards and five more TDs.
Heupel led Oklahoma to the No. 1 ranking in the country, completing 256 of 389 passes for 3,172 yards with 18 touchdowns and 11 interceptions. He has at least one TD pass in all 24 of his career games at Oklahoma and has passed for more than 300 yards in 14 of them.
Wenke led the nation with 4,167 passing yards with 33 TD passes and 11 interceptions. He holds Atlantic Coast Conference records for passing yardage at 9,789 and touchdown passes with 79. At 28, he would be the oldest to win a Heisman.

Turner was dismissed by owner Dan Snyder one day after a 9-7 loss to the New York Giants. It was the fourth loss in five games for the Redskins (7-6) and third straight at home, and it moved a team with championship aspirations precariously close to elimination from the playoff race.
Passing game coordinator Terry Robiskie was named interim coach. He immediately began holding team meetings for Sunday's game in Dallas.
Special teams coach LeCharls McDaniel, in charge of the struggling coverage and kicking units,

The search for a coach for the 2001 season will be headed by former college coach Franklin "Pepper" Rodgers, who was hired yesterday to the newly created position of vice president of football operations.
Turner, hired as a first-time head coach by late owner Jack Kent Cooke in 1994, was third in seniority with one team behind Pittsburgh's Bill Cowher and Minnesota's Dennis Green. But Turner's record was only 49-59-1, with a franchise that has won three Super Bowls.

The Rockies had an advantage in their dealings with Neagle. His wife is a native of the Denver area, and a year ago, the couple made their offseason home in the Denver foothill community of Morrison.
Neagle also received offers from the Boston Red Sox, Los Angeles Dodgers and New York Metts. The Yankees, who acquired him from Cincinnati during the All-Star break, made no offer to re-sign him.

FOXBORO, Mass. — Drew Bledsoe and the New England Patriots won't soon forget one of the season's least meaningful Monday-night match-ups.
They got a rare victory, beating the Kansas City Chiefs, another team going nowhere, 30-24. Bledsoe threw for a seasonhigh 282 yards, and Adam Vinatieri kicked three field goals in New England's highest-scoring game of the year.
For a change, the Patriots held on at the end after the players cut the lead to 30-24 on Elvis Grubac's 19-yard pass to Kevin Lockett with 3:58 left.
In their other Monday night game this season, the Patriots gave up two touchdowns in the last 6:25 and lost to the New York Jets 20-19 in Week 2.
Two of the previous six Monday night games were decided on last-play field goals, but the Chiefs (5-8) fell short of ending a four-game losing streak with a last-play touchdown.
They gave up two fumblies after losing just four all season and
Kansas City drove down to the Patriots' 11-yard line but had no timeouts, and time expired when Tony Gonzalez was tackled in the middle of the field after a 5-yard completion.
CHIEFS
wasted Grbac's 81-yard touchdown pass to Derrick Alexander, who has three scoring catches of more than 80 yards in his career plus an 82-yard TD run.
And it came eight days after they suffered the indignity of becoming San Diego's first and only victim of the season. Grbac missed that game with an injured right index finger.
The Patriots (4-9) treated a chilly crowd — missing 9,964 noshows — to their best offensive display of a season in which they often faltered in the waning moments of games.
They also entered the game with a 7-18 Monday night record, the worst in the AFC.
Bledsoe, who had thrown two touchdown passes in his previous six games, threw two last night — a 17-yarder to Troy Brown and a 1-yarder to tight end Jermaine Wiggins, signed seven days earlier after being cut by the Jets.
Bledsoe overcame a sore thumb he's played with for four games by completing 33 of 48 passes, including all seven on the drive to Wiggins' touchdown that made it 27:10 with 7:09 left in the third quarter.
The Chiefs marched back, reaching the New England 27, but Otis Smith intercepted Grbac's pass at the 4 and returned it 56 yards.
The Patriots couldn't capitalize, as Vinatieri's 37-yard field goal attempt went wide, ending his streak of 16 successful kicks. Grbac then threw a 4-yard scoring pass to Gonzalez, cutting the lead to 27-17 with 13:43 left in the game.
But Sylvester Morris' fumble on the Chiefs' next possession was recovered by Tony George and led to Vinatieri's 27-yard field goal with 7:37 remaining.
Vinatieri had given New England a 20-10 lead on the last play of the half with a 53-yard field goal, the second longest of his career. He also hit a 48-yarder on the first series of the game before Todd Peterson tied it with a 42-yard field goal
The Patriots, who had just two touchdowns in their previous three games, scored two in the first half. Kevin Faulk's 1-yard dive gave New England a 10-3 lead and Bledsoe's pass to Brown made it 17-10.
In between those scores, the Chiefs tied the game on Grbac's pass to Alexander. It was Alexander's fourth touchdown of more than 80 yards in two seasons.

'Hawks to play through pain
Continued from page 1A
Kansas Notes
- Speaking of Gregory, the senior forward chatted on CNNSL.com yesterday afternoon and said the pain from a stress fracture in his right foot could bother him the rest of the season.
"It it was bothering me before we played Illinois State, and I have had some X-rays," Gregory said during the chat. "Basically, I have just been trying to rest it and haven't been practicing as much. I figure I have to either sit out the season or play through pain, so I figure I'll just have to tough it out and play through the pain."
That's exactly what Gregory will do this week. He practiced with Kansas the last two days and said he was expecting to play in the Jayhawks' game at Wake Forest on Thursday.
Gregory won't be the only Kansas player playing through pain against the Demon Deacons.
Junior guard Jeff Boschee suffered a mild left ankle sprain in practice on Sunday and was held out of yesterday's practice. No X-rays are planned, and Boschee is not expected to miss any games.
Axtell, who still is ailing from his sprained ankle, and freshman guard Mario Kinsey, who is recovering from leg surgery, also are expected to play against Wake Forest.

Judge may impose sanctions in trial
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Rae Carruth's ex-girlfriend was afraid and had tears in her eyes when she spoke about Carruth's involvement in the shooting of another girlfriend, former NBA player Charles Shackleford testified yesterday.
"She said he basically confessed to her at the hospital about what happened," Shackleford said in testimony that Judge Charles Lamm told iurors to disregard.
Smith testified last week that Carruth told her he planned the fatal shooting of his pregnant girlfriend, Cherica Adams. The 26-year-old football player could be executed if convicted of murdering Adams, 24.
Shackleford, a former member of the NBA's Charlotte Hornets, testified that Smith said Carruth told her "he had something to do with whatever happened to Cherica."
When she told him this, "she seemed a little afraid," Shackleford said. "She had tears in her eyes," he added.
Earlier yesterday, Lamm said he would consider sanctions against police, who defense attorneys claim kept them in the dark until yesterday about drug activity by a key prosecution witness.
Some of the most damaging testimony against Carruth has come from co-defendant Michael Eugene Kennedy, who said he was driving the car from which Adams was shot on Nov. 16, 1999.
When the trial resumed yesterday, defense attorney David Rudolf told Lamm that prosecutors had just handed him a copy of a police report indicating Kennedy had bought $650 worth of crack cocaine from an undercover police officer in 1996.
Charges were later dismissed, he told the judge, possibly because Kennedy was a drug informant.
Homicide investigators deliberately waited until Kennedy finished his testimony before asking vice and narcotics officers about Kennedy's drug activities. Rudolf said.
Lamm said he would hear arguments on the defense motion Friday, when the trial is in recess. He also said he would allow the defense to recall Kennedy for more cross-examination.
Carruth says he had nothing to do with the shooting. His lawyers say admitted trigerman Van Brett Watkins acted on his own when he shot Adams because he was angry at her and Carruth about a foiled drug deal.
Seminoles haunted by losses to Sooners
MIAMI — If not for Oklahoma, Bobby Bowden and his Florida State Seminoles might be unbeaten in the Orange Bowl.
The Associated Press
Florida State is headed to its sixth Orange Bowl, where the No. 3 Seminoles (11-1) will play the top-ranked Sooners (12-0) on Wednesday, Jan. 3, in the Bowl Championship Series title game.
FSU has won three in a row in the Orange Bowl after dropping its first two games there both to Oklahoma
Q
Bowden hasn't forgotten the losses, either. The Sooners beat the Seminoles 24-7 in 1980 and 18-17 in 1981.
"They beat us every time," he said, noting he is 0-3 against Oklahoma since joining Florida State in 1976. The
Sooners also beat his squad 24-9 during his inaugural season at FSU.
In 35 years as a head coach, Oklahoma is the only team Bowden has faced more than once and remains winless against.
Bowden wants to have better success against the Sooners this year, but second-year Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops gave Bowden's team some trouble while he was the defensive coordinator at Florida from 1996-98.
Under Stoops, Florida's defense held the high-scoring Seminoles to less than 25 points per game in four meetings. With a month to prepare for FSU before the 1997 Sugar Bowl, Stoops' defence helped the Gators beat Florida State 52-20 and claim their only national championship.
Stoops, in a similar position now, is hoping his experience against the Seminoles will pay off.
"It does give you a familiarity with them, to recognize and know firsthand the way they play and the speed that they play with," Stoops said. "It hasn't been that long ago. I certainly know what they like to do and the manner in which they operate on offense and defense."
"I watched them so closely for three years and played four games against them, including the national championship game."
Kansas (7-0) dropped from second to third in the Associated Press poll this week despite easily beating Middle Tennessee State and Illinois State in its only games last week. The Jayhawks received only one first-place vote.

Jayhawks drop to third; Duke retains No.1 spot
Duke, which beat two ranked teams last week, had the top spot in the AP's college basketball poll yesterday, while Michigan State moved up one spot to No. 2.
The Blue Devils (7-0) beat Illinois and Temple after moving to the top of the rankings last week. They received 59 first-place votes and 1,715 points from the national media panel, 107 more than Michigan State.
The Spartans (5-0), who received nine No. 1 votes, moved up one spot after beating North Carolina and Illinois-Chicago last week. The defending national champions play host to No. 8 Florida tomorrow in a rematch of last season's title game.
Stanford and Arizona remained fourth and fifth in the rankings, while Tennessee and Seton Hall each moved up one place to sixth and seventh, respectively.
Florida moved up two places to eighth, while Illinois took ninth and Notre Dame jumped one spot to No. 10.
Wake Forest led the second 10 and was followed by Southern California, Syracuse, North Carolina, Connecticut, Virginia, Wisconsin, Cincinnati, Maryland and Oklahoma.
Arkansas, Utah, Alabama, St. John's and Iowa State rounded out the Top 25.
Alabama and Iowa State are the week's newcomers, replacing Temple and Dayton, which were 17th and 24th, respectively.
Alabama (3-0), which has scored at least 92 points in each of its games this season with an average margin of victory of 38 points, is ranked for the first time since December 1996. The Crimson Tide, who are led by sophomore Rod Grizzard and freshman Gerald Wallace, beat Louisville 100-71 last week, a 44-point turnaround from the teams' meeting last season.
Iowa State (5-0) was ranked the last seven weeks of last season, getting as high as No. 6 in the final poll. The Cyclones lost All-America forward Marcus Fizer from last season, but preseason All-America guard Jamal Tinsley has become the team leader. He was selected MVP of the Cyclone Challenge last weekend when

Dayton (2-3) returned to the Top 25 last week for the first time since 1974, but losses to Cincinnati and Marshall knocked the Flyers out.

Lenny Kravitz stretches his musical limits
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The setting is downtown Manhattan. Lenny Kravitz is offering a few reminders of how his job — rock star — is so different from other occupations.
He talks about his newest release, a greatest hits album. Kravitz was taken aback when the idea was suggested to him. There's something about a
Kravitz is directed across the street by a photographer to pose in a doorway.
That duty done, he's ready for a limousine ride uptown. But first, someone's waiting in a hotel lobby to meet him.
Finally, Kravitz stretches out in the limo. He's riding to a studio in Manhattan, where he's been asked to write a song for a boldface name Kravitz doesn't want to divulge. The assignment's a thriller for him.
It's Robbie Robertson, former Band leader, now working as a record company executive. They've never met before and eagerly exchange pleas antries, rock star to rock star.
greatest hits disc that lets you know how long you've been making music.
"I feel quite blessed," Kravitz said. "Eleven years later, I'm still in the game — still on the top of my game. That's an amazing blessing."
he also needs to schedule his sudden flood of side projects. Kravitz has done occasional work with other musicians through the years, but now he finds himself in real demand.
Kravitz's limousine pulls up in front of an unmarked door on a busy side street.
Janet Jackson, Mariah Carey, Jennifer Lopez, Mary J. Blige and Destiny's Child have requested his help, he said. They're asking for his song-writing or production acumen, sometimes both.
"They're all challenges," he said. "I like to take on things that are completely opposite from what people would expect me to do, purposely because it stretches you as a musician."
It's his intended location. He steps from the limo and quickly disappears into the studio, before anyone on the street has the chance to recognize him.

K-State to meet Tennessee for first time at Cotton Bowl
The Associated Press
DALLAS — Another UT, this one wearing a lighter shade of orange, is coming to the Cotton Bowl.
After two years of Texas playing in Dallas on New Year's Day, No. 21 Tennessee is coming to face No.11 Kansas State and its purple-clad fans.
"The stands will be colorful," said Max. Urick, the Kansas State athletic director.
Tickets will be scarce as loyal followers of both schools have been e-mailing game offi-
C
Cotton Bowl officials are looking forward to a possible fight for tickets.
"I think that's a nice problem to have," said Cotton Bowl executive director Rick Baker. "I think we'll be able to announce a sellout pretty quickly."
line wildcats (10-3) were chosen rather than Nebraska, even though the Cornhuskers (9-2) are ranked two spots higher.
The difference is that Kansas State won the Big 12 North, beating Nebraska head-to-head, and two of its losses were to No.1 Oklahoma, including a 27-24 loss Saturday night in the conference championship.
Also, the Cornhuskers and Volunteers have met in bowls two of the last three seasons.
"Certainly that was discussed, but when all was said and done, the focus certainly on the Big 12 side was that Kansas State had a terrific year." Baker said. "We just felt they were the most deserving."
The Volunteers (8-3) are the first team from the East division of the Southeast Conference invited to the Cotton Bowl since the game and the league became affiliated. Louisiana State, of the SEC West, also had been considered.
"Tennessee is one of those programs you think you're never going to have an opportunity to have," Baker said. "We have normally focused on the West just because of geography."
While Wildcats fans were hoping to go west to Phoenix for the Fiesta Bowl, Urick said the trip to Dallas will be an easy change.
"They'll start those caravans going," he said. Tennessee AD Doug Dickey there would be plenty of west-bound cars headed to Dallas with Rocky Top blasting from the speakers.
"I know that our people will have a lot of enthusiasm for this trip," he said. "I think the timing of the game on Monday would help a lot of people make the trip."
The Volunteers and Wildcats have never played.
Tennessee last spent New Year's in Dallas in 1990, when it beat Arkansas 31-27. The Volunteers are 2-2 overall in the Cotton Bowl, beating Texas in 1951 and losing to the Longhorns in '53 and '69.
Kansas State's only appearance in the Cotton Bowl was a 19-15 loss to Brigham Young in 1997.
Nebraska, Northwestern to battle in Alamo Bowl
LINCOLN, Neb. — Nebraska ranked No. 1 for the first two months of the season, will be watching instead of playing on New Year's Day.
The No. 9 Cornhuskers learned Sunday that they will be playing No. 18 Northwestern on Dec. 30 in the Alamo Bowl in San Antonio.
The Associated Press
Nebraska (9-2) was eligible for one of two Bowl Championship Series at
large berths, but those went to Notre Dame and Oregon State, who will meet in the Fiesta Bowl on New Year's Day.

"When you lose two ball games as we
have, then all of a sudden what you hoped to accomplish and what you want to accomplish may not be there," said coach Frank Solich. "There was a chance that we felt that maybe we could get into a BCS bowl, but that did not materialize."
Solich admitted to being disappointed at falling short of a BCS bid but looked at the bright side of the
The Northwestern Wildcats (8-3), who went 3-8 last year during Randy Walker's first season as coach, were the surprise of the Big 10 this season, getting edged by Purdue for the conference's Rose Bowl berth.
Alamo Bowl and facing the cochampsions of the Big 10.
The Cornhuskers are going to a bowl for the 32nd straight season. The Alamo Bowl debuted in 1993. The game pays $1.2 million, substantially less than the $13 million that comes with a BCS bid.
"We came up short in two games, and that put us in the predicament that we're in now," said senior guard Russ Hochstein.
Nebraska is 2-0 in the Alamodome, winning the '97 and '99 Big 12 championship games there.
Nebraska finished No. 8 in the final BCS standings, but only the top two really matter. BCS bids automatically go to the champions of the Atlantic Coast, Big 12, Big 10, Pac 10, Big East and Southeast conferences.
The other two selections are up to the bowl selection committees.
"It's not really my place to argue with who they selected," said rush end Kyle Vanden Bosch. "We're not going to demand a count and drag this thing out. We're happy where we're at. We're at a really good bowl game playing a very good team."

Raving about ecstasy
Party drug's popularity leaps
Story by Melissa Davis Photos by Thad Allender
Kevin Miller steers his 1975 red Chevy Caprice to a stop in front of BarbWire stewhouse, where he works as a cook. He glances at his watch, slips a small white pill from the pocket of his overcoat, pops it into his mouth and swallows.
Miller then walks through the restaurant to the office to pick up his paycheck. He knows he has less than an hour before the pill kicks in, so he grabs his check and walks briskly back to his car to make the 30-minute drive to Kansas City. Miller is on his way to his dealer's house — to get more ecstasy. Miller is stocking up on the drug so he will have enough for tonight's rave. Miller, who says he flanked out of the University of Kansas because of his excessive use of the drug, is among a growing number of teen and college-age users who have made ecstasy the fastest-growing recreational drug in the United States. A survey released last week by the Partnership for a Drug-Free America showed that ecstasy use by teens had more than doubled since 1995.
Users say the drug enhances sexual performance and makes them more sociable and happy. Pharmacists and drug counselors say ecstasy, a cousin of amphetamines, can lead to overheating, grinding of teeth, erratic behavior, residual confusion, depression and even death. But users
still shell out more than $20 per pill to feel the sexual energy and euphoria the pill packs.
Ecestasy is so popular in Lawrence that it has spawned its own culture, featuring raves, toys, techno/trance music and clothing style. Just as cocaine was the drug that drove the disco era, ecestasy is the fuel for raves, all-night dance parties and a whole sub-culture associated with the drug.
The drug has gone mainstream, making appearances in such movies as Go and in endorsements by music artists such as Moby, who described the feeling of being high on ecstasy at his recent concert in Kansas City. Ecestasy — the drug of choice for a new generation
Miller is greeted by a rush of color and sound as he enters the outdoor arena on the outskirts of Kansas City. Although the arena is cold, Miller can't tell because he is miles away in his mind, flying high on ecstasy. Despite the cold, men are dancing without shirts and women dressed in revealing tops sweat as they dance.
Their cockeyed smirks suggest the pill is working.
Anybody can see the neon lights at work, but only users notice that the

Community groups seek more student volunteers

With the changing of the seasons, many students began focusing their attentions on the upcoming winter break and finishing their finals, but local charities hope students would also consider helping others and their community.
Many community organizations sought student support for holiday charities and programs.

pressure from finals and the pending holiday drew near. She encouraged students to get involved during the holiday season to help relieve some of the stress.
"It is letting a college student become a kid again." she said.
Although the program required a nine-to 12-month commitment, depending on the area of volunteer work, Karlin said she felt the holidays would be a good time to start the program or review program information.
Each year, the national Big Brothers-Big Sisters organization challenges local branches to recruit a certain number of new members based on previous membership. With Christmas looming, the Douglas County branch continued its search for 50 more volunteers to meet this year's 230-volunteer quota. Karlin said she hoped the holiday spirit would help Big Brothers-Big Sisters meet its goal by Christmas.
Other organizations also anticipated an increase in support during the holiday season.
E. J. Reedy, financial director for the Center for Community Outreach at the University of Kansas, said people tended to turn to community service during the gift-giving season.
"We had a lot of support from the KU community last year," Reedy said.

Kansas State ranks second in solicited alumni contributions, but came in eighth in donations from alumni with $17,780,000. Jennifer Jackson Sanner, senior vice president for communications for the University of Kansas Alumni Association, credited the association's efforts to keep alumni informed about campus funding needs through the bimonthly Kansas Alumni Magazine, which reaches 45,000 association members.
By comparison, KU alums gave about 39 percent of all University contributions.
"We feel strongly that our partnership over the long term brings results for the University in terms of donations," Sanner said. "Informed alums are more likely to give what they can, and that was certainly true in our last fund-raising campaign. That would explain our high rankings in average donations and total alumni donations."

A $10,000 scholarship fund has been set up in the memory Marvin M. Cox, a former state senator from Kingman.
Scholarship established in memory of alumnus
The fund was established by Cox's sister, Virginia Jean Cox Mitchell, and her husband, William Mitchell, both Lawrence residents. The scholarship will be awarded to qualified KU undergraduates from Kingman County who are pre-business or business students
William L. Fuerst, dean of the School of Business, said he was grateful to the Mitchells for their donation.
"This scholarship will help preserve the memory of Marvin Cox's record of service to Kansas and his community." he said.
At the University of Kansas, Cox was a member of Acacia Fraternity, and an officer on the Interfraternity Council. He earned a bachelor's degree in 1939. He represented Kingman in the Kansas House of Representatives from 1947 to 1956, and as a state senator from 1965 to 1988. He was a World War II U.S. Army veteran, and he worked as an insurance and real estate broker, as a farmer and as a Kingman County commissioner.

Cox married Willa J. Huddleston in 1951. Cox died after being struck by a car in Kingman in December of 1999.
ROTC to honor former naval science professors
The University of Kansas ROTC will honor its professors of naval science today at 3:30 p.m.
Six of the former professors will return to the University for the ceremony in the ROTC lounge of the Military Science building. During the ceremony, a plaque honoring all the previous professors of naval science will be unveiled.
The ROTC program was established at the University in 1946. Captain Bill Howell, marine officer instructor, said it was important to honor the mem-
pers of the University's ROTC program.
"These are people who have given to the country and allow people to have the freedom they have today," Howell said. "They've served in World War II, the Vietnam War, the Korean War and Bosnia-Hertzegovina, and we wanted to say thank-you to those people."

Student injured in fight listed in fair condition
A student who was in a coma Friday after a fight, in a downtown alley was listed in fair condition yesterday but remained hospitalized, Lawrence Police Sgt. Mike Pattrick said.
Micah Ryan Gaches, Lenexa freshman, was standing in a city parking lot with friends when two men, who were seeking revenge for an attack on their friend, arrived and hit and kicked Gaches until he was unconscious. Gaches was not the one who attacked the men's friend in the earlier incident.
The fight started when the men's friend made derogatory comments about a woman in Gaches' group.
Patrick said police had no description of the suspects, who were driving a white car. The investigation continues.

Jean Carnahan named Missouri's next senator
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. — Gov. Roger Wilson appointed Jean Carnahan to become Missouri's next U.S. senator in place of her husband, Mel Carnahan, who won the Nov. 7 election after his death in a plane crash.
The appointment is effective Jan. 3, the date new senators are sworn in. Wilson said Monday he signed it early to allow Jean Carnahan to participate in freshman senator orientation in Washington, which began yesterday.

Republican Jean Carnahan, 66, has been setting up her office in Washington and was not in Jefferson City for Monday's appointment, but Wilson said he talked to her earlier in the day.
During that period, the fortunes of the two rivals have reversed, with polls showing that if elections were held today, Netanyahu would be the big winner.
Barak has reluctantly agreed to early elections under pressure from his rebellious parliament. No date has been set, but party leaders are aiming for May.

The radiation came from a leaking water pipe attached to the cooling system of two reactors at the Novovoronezh plant, about 300 miles south of Moscow.
The reactors have been out of service for a decade.
Rosenergoat representative Konstantin Romburger did not say how high the radiation level was, but he said it did not pose a danger to surrounding areas.
Still, authorities sealed off the area with barbed wire and posted signs about the radiation risk while a commission studied the cause of the leak, he said.

Cohen increases Gulf port security
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Defense Secretary William Cohen has authorized military commanders to send dozens of additional U.S. forces to the Persian Gulf to strengthen port security, Pentagon officials said yesterday.
The move is part of a Pentagon effort to improve the protection of American ships and other military forces in the region in the aftermath of the Oct. 12 terrorist bombing of the USS Cole in Yemen.
The day the Cole was attacked, U.S. Navy commanders in the Middle East ordered all ships
out of port and they have not returned since. Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. Craig Quigley said yesterday "there is a great desire" to ease the security restrictions "to have a more comfortable and relaxed standard of living, if you will, for our sailors and marines in that area, and yet the first priority has to be force protection."
To strengthen port security in the Gulf, Cohen authorized the deployment of extra Navy and Coast Guard security personnel. Quigley said.
The Navy, meanwhile, said the heavily damaged Cole is due to arrive back in the United
States next week.
States like. The Cole, which lost 17 sailors in the suicide bombing, has been in transit from the Middle East since early November aboard a Norwegian-owned heavy lift ship. It will be offloaded at Ingalls Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Miss., for repairs that are expected to take one year and cost roughly $240 million.
Adm. Vern Clark, the chief of naval operations, said one of the toughest issues raised by the Cole attack is how the Navy can better improve the security of its ships in foreign ports without violating the sovereign interests of host nations.

Close-call elections to be discussed
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students can get a crash course in other "cliffhanger" presidential elections that rival this year's race today at a panel discussion.
Karl Brooks, assistant professor of history and environmental studies; Jonathan Earle, assistant professor of history; and Phillip Paludan, professor of history; will discuss the 1824, 1876 and 1960 presidential elections that were as hotly contested as this year's race. Paul Schumaker, chairman of the political science department, will talk about the possible impact of this year's presidential gridlock.
The panel discussion,
"Cliffhangers 101," begins at 10 a.m.
at the Kansas Room in the Kansas
Union.
Although Earle said some students might not be quivering to hear about the political storm that was brewing in 1824 between candidates John Quincy Adams, Andrew Jackson and Henry Clay, the current political climate should draw students into the drama of politics.
"This was the Hollywood movie and the Broadway show of the 19th
"CLIFFHANGERS 101"
What it is: Three history professors will discuss close presidential elections in 1824, 1876 and 1960. The chairman of the political science department will talk about this year's race.

century," Earle said. "As annoying as it can seem, it is very entertaining and very interesting. If they do come, people will see that politics has been made much more interesting by the photo finish of the election."
Earle will talk about the 1824 election in which Jackson won the popular vote, but none of the three candidates won a majority of the electoral votes. According to the United States Constitution, it was up to Congress to decide the fate of the election.
Earle said from what historians know, Adams, the son of second U.S. president John Adams, and Clay, the speaker of the House, worked out a deal that gave Adams all of Clay's support in exchange for being appointed as Secretary of State.
"The Jacksonians were not happy," Earle said. "The believed that that guy from Boston who was in cahoots with a Washington insider stole the election from the choice of the people."
Earle said the major effect the 1824 race had on the nation was the establishment of political parties.
"That was the way the Jacksonians figured out they could really capture power and guarantee the will of the people." Earle said.
Another close presidential race occurred in 1876 between Samuel Tilden and Rutherford B. Hayes. One electoral vote separated Hayes, the winner, from Tilden.
Paludan said the 1876 results had a greater impact on the nation than this year's results would likely have because Hayes' eventual victory resulted in the end of the Reconstruction period in the South.
"The troops pulled out, and southern states were allowed to deal with former slaves as they wished, so it effectively ended national protection of former slaves," Paludan said.
A more recent dead-heat presidential race unfolded in 1960, when a mere 100,000 popular votes but 100 electoral votes gave John F. Kennedy the victory against
Richard Nixon, Brooks said $ ^{d} $
"Kennedy came into office with no cloud over him, which gave his social reform program and aggressive foreign policy a big boost." Brooks said.
But Schumaker said this year's month-long election controversy wasn't because candidates Al Gore and George W. Bush were sore losers.
"I think they have a strong sense of moral duty to fight the fight they're fighting," Schumaker said. "On one hand, Gore thinks he has moral principle to everybody whose vote is on his side, but Bush has the view that recounting lends itself to tampering."
Schumaker said that even if students were not history or political science majors, they should be interested in today's discussion.
"I think that it will be particularly interesting to hear how this works in a historical perspective." Schumaker said. "By looking at other cliffhangers we will get a lot better sense of how to interpret this election."

Fashion brought together Pi Betaphi sorority and Lewis and Templin residence halls at a fashion show last night at the KU Visitors Center.
Sorority, residence hall women strut
The show, titled "A Winter Wonderland of Fashion," was used as a presentation ceremony. The Center for Community Outreach received a check for $260, raised by residents of Lewis and Templin. Members of the sorority and residence halls were models for the show, which provided an opportunity for Greek and non-greek students to come together.

Fisch also said she was attracted to the show because of the opportunity to wear clothes from various stores.
"There's a big separation between the two," said Annie McBride, Omaha, Neb., sophomore and Lewis resident. "We wanted a chance to work together."
Six members of the sorority volunteered to model for the show, including Melissa Hooks, Dallas freshman.
It sounded fun being able to wear

The event was sponsored by Weaver's Department Store, 901 Massachusetts St., The Buckle Inc., 805 Massachusetts St. and the KU Bookstore. The stores loaned out clothes to the students. Engwood Florist, 1101 Massachusetts St., also helped sponsor the event and donated flowers to the show.
"It's not often that sororities and residence halls get together to do a function," she said.
Amanda Fisch, Overland Park sophomore and Lewis resident, said she enjoyed getting together with the women of the sorority.
"The they worked with people at the store to find clothes they wanted to wear." McBride said. "They put their own personality into it."
clothes from different places and to dress up and show off a bit," she said.
Barbara Ballard, associate vice chancellor, and Randy Timm, assistant director of student housing, were the masters of ceremonies for the show and are former models themselves.
"It takes a lot of guts," Timm said of the models. "Especially with your friends around."
Ballard was impressed with the students who modeled.
"They did well," she said. "A lot of people turned out for it, so I think they had fun."
The Unity Dance Troop, a University of Kansas hip-hop dance group, also performed at the show.
"We wanted to get more groups to be able to work together," McBride said.
McBride said she hoped to continue doing the show every year and to include more houses in the greek system.

Perspective U.S. should take neutral stance in Middle East
Imagine you live in a residence hall and you have a really bad conflict with your roommate — an all-out yelling, throwing property-trashing brawl that keeps your neighbor bup.
boops up.
So your resident assistant tries to help seek a peaceful end. The problem is, you're both "right," of course, and neither wants to leave. You could build a wall down the middle of the room, but you'd never decide who gets to use the door and who has to crawl out the window.
You expect the RA at least to be objective and impartial. But imagine how you'd feel, for the sake of this extended metaphor, if the RA announced she'd always side with your roommate, no matter what he did. Would you continue to trust her?
Well, the United States has been like a biased RA in the Israeli-Palestinian roommate
conflict (obviously with higher stakes) since the outbreak of violence Sept. 28 — an unwise policy from both a moral and strategic perspective.
on the U.S. On Oct. 25, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a resolution expressing "solidarity" with Israel, condemning the Palestinian leadership for its role in the violence and urging the Administration to use its veto power to ensure the U.N. Security Council doesn't adorn "unbalanced resolutions" about the conflict. In other words, we'll be fair, but ultimately, we'll always side with Israel, no matter what, just like a biased RA.
Ivan Goncharov
David Grummon columnist opinion@kansas.com
Now I'm not about to say that the Palestinians are saints. They've done plenty of nasty stuff, and the demonstrations and riots probably freak out most Americans. We immediately think of the Iran-hostage crisis, the bombing of the World Trade Center or the attack on the U.S.S. Cole. We tend to think Israel was scared and naturally had to use force.
Historically, and even recently, it would be easy to draw parallels between Palestinians and the Kosovar Albanians, Chechen separatists in Russia, or Black South Africans during Apartheid. Much like these embattled ethnic groups, Palestinian still have no country, no organized military and no voice or representation in the government that controls their lands.
But we're forgetting something. First, it's wrong to characterize all Arabs or Muslims as terrorists. Second, the Palestinians see themselves as an occupied people on their own land. It's not as if anyone argues they just wandered in from somewhere else.
They claim a nasty laundry list of civil and human rights abuses and clearly see themselves as oppressed. Right or wrong, they are frustrated by a perceived lack of progress from peace talks. (The heavily armed "visit" by Israeli opposition leader Ariel Sharon to a contested holy site was widely seen as Israel giving the finger to the peace process.)
Unfortunately, Palestinians resorted to violence, which the Israeli military met with very strong force, inflicting hundreds of casualties on mostly Palestinian combatants and civilians.
When this kind of thing happens in other parts of the world, America condemns governments for responding with excessive force and human rights abuses. But why not here? Israel, historically our ally, supposedly protects American interests in the region. But this time, Israel's actions (and our support of them) are hurting American interests.
in the meantime, the violence has escalated. The Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries refused to increase oil production, and several countries have started making friendly overtures again toward Iraq.
Like a biased RA, we losing our moral credibility for promoting human and civil rights, democracy, justice and peace. As we lose the world's respect and trust, it will become easier for terrorists to justify their attacks on U.S. targets.
I'm not suggesting the United States suddenly start beckoning the Palestinians and act against Israel. All I'm suggesting is that, like a good RA, we should be relatively neutral in this conflict and the peace process. An "Israel-cando-no-wrong" policy is not only wrong for the peace process, but it also hurts America as well.

Kansan strives for diversity but makes some mistakes
Historically, the Kansan hasn't had a reputation for good coverage of diversity issues. Grievous errors in our past, some of which happened before our staff and most current students came to the University of Kansas, haunt us to this day.
In response, we've been making genuine
efforts not only to make up for the past, but also to pave a better future for the newspaper.
Usually readers are pleased with our attempts to cover the issues we do, even if the result isn't what it could be. The in-depth story about the situation of African-American students in the early 1990s and today received criticism because it didn't address the issues of other minority students on campus. Certainly

this represents a greater problem in America.
We often treat race relations as a Black and white issue. Racial tension almost always implies the struggles between African Americans and Caucasians. Anyone who lives in America knows better Racial issues cross cultures and include Native Americans, Hispanics, Asian Americans and everyone in between.
In defense of the project, the intention was to provide an in-depth look at the particular struggles of African-American students as related to the impeachment of the first African-American student body president. The goal wasn't to provide an overview of all students of color and their experiences.
The story about other holidays celebrated during December and January received criticism for the headline, which labeled Muslims and Jews as non-Christians. The problem with the word "non-Christian" is that it takes a Christian-centered stance rather than having a neutral tone. The headline assumes Christians to be the norm while Jews and Muslims are the "other." In a country where Christianity dominates, it's an easy — but offensive — mistake. Taking a Christian-centered standpoint perpetuates a demeaning attitude towards those who differ from the majority.
The most unfortunate result is if the story's good intentions were overshadowed by a poorly written headline. The story strove to cast light on holidays often overshadowed by Christians celebrating Christmas. We wanted to change the very misconceptions the article apparently perpetuated.
Our critics have good intentions. They want to educate us in areas where we need to be educated. For the most part, they seem to appreciate our efforts, even if those are a little misguided sometimes. However frustrating it is to see our attempts at inclusiveness criticized, we need to listen to suggestions so that the next time we cover similar areas we won't make the same mistakes.
Even though we don't always get it right, I'd rather see us fail at trying than stand back while we ignore segments of students on campus. You can critique the mistakes we make, but you can't blame us for trying.

Letters to the editor Threat to Bush in Free for All reflects poorly on the paper
I've never really cared much for the Free For All. Usually, this particularly stupid and worthless section of the Kansan is filled with comments ranging from the bizarre to the obscene, most having the intellectual clout of over-boiled asparagus. And often, people too cowardly to identify themselves publicly call in petty personal attacks against those with whom they disagree.
But last Friday, a caller said something truly sinister: "Since George W. Bush thinks he's president, but he's not officially president yet, is it still legal to talk about killing him?" I hope I wasn't the only reader to be struck speechless by this. Thinly veiled death threats against a candidate for President of the United
States, even intended as a joke, are no laughing matter: The Secret Service doesn't think so, and neither should any American no matter their political persuasion. Some of the blackest moments in our nation's history are linked to presidential assassinations, and only the most depraved sociopath finds humor in such tragedies—or jokes about future ones.
Most likely, this caller is laced with psychological problems and incapable of feeling shame, so I'll direct my rebuke to the Free for All's editors. You've exhibited an unusually low level of responsibility and a bottomless disrespect for decency by printing these hateful words. You should know better; and you should apologize.

E-mailing grades helps KU students
Students will be able to receive their grades faster beginning this semester.
Some students and faculty have questioned whether e-mailing grades violates privacy. However, as long as the sites are secure, it is both safe and legal. Because it is a new installment this semester, hard copies of grades will also be mailed through U.S. Mail.
This semester, the University of Kansas will e-mail grades to all students with a registered KU e-mail account. The University should be commended for making the decision.
Last year, students had the option of requesting their grades online. They had to access the KU Web site, enter information and their grade report would automatically be sent to their registered KU e-mail account.
Sending grades through e-mail offers several advantages. First, it is a faster and much less expensive way of getting grades to students during winter break. The University said it may be as late as Wednesday, Jan. 2 before students receive their grades through U.S. mail. If e-mail were used, students would receive their grades earlier and at the same time no matter where they are.
Some students and faculty are opposed to the new plan because hard copies of grades sometimes are required in situations such as when a car insurance company needs verification of student status. However, the University should eliminate the use of mail in distributing grades. As it will reduce spending, the University could give students a free copy of their grades on request.
Some students also might face the lack of computer access during winter break or not having an e-mail account at all. However, such a concern could be eliminated if the University assigned e-mail accounts to all students at enrollment.
E-mailing grades is a good move for the University of Kansas. It illustrates the University's willingness to take advantage of what technology has to offer and will be faster and more convenient for students.

Holiday Guide
International students celebrate far from home
By Adam Pracht
Kansan correspondent
The air grows frosty and lights line the windows of countless downtown shops. Nativities, Santas and candles appear everywhere. There's no doubt — the holiday season is here. No matter what your beliefs, it's a special time to reflect and join with family and friends.
Imagine for a second that those family and friends are 3,721 miles away
This is the situation Manuel Laura, Lima, Peru, sophomore, finds himself in every year. He is one of 1,534 students from 111 countries studying at the University of Kansas.
This year, however, Laura is fortunate. He will be able to return home to spend Christmas with his parents and younger sister. But the journey back to Peru can be expensive. The price for a ticket from Lawrence to Peru ranges from $750 on Christmas Eve to $1,100 on Dec. 21.
Manuel said the money is well worth getting back to his family.
"The first semester, I would
have told you (that I miss) my girlfriend and my friends, but I think as time goes by, I miss my parents a lot more," he said. "Sometimes I feel like crying because they are not here with me when I need them. I think this fact makes me mature faster."
Andres Vicuna, Tingo Maria, Peru, sophomore, won't be able to return to his small hometown in the jungle of Peru, but that doesn't mean he isn't staying with family.
"My sister lives in Arizona," he said. "I think I'm going to go to visit her."
He said the time away from home still was difficult.
"I miss my friends and my brothers." he said.
Leaving home to go to school in Lawrence wasn't an easy choice for Vicuna and his family, but they believed it was for the best.
"They were sad I was leaving, but they were happy for the opportunities," he said. "It's big in Peru if someone goes to another country to study."
However, being away from home in the United States wasn't
all bad. Vicuna said.
"I'm just glad that I have family here and I will be able to spend time with them," he said. "Even though I can't get back to my country to be with all my family, I'm just happy I can be with other people."
Being in the United States has other benefits as well.
"I love the lights," he said. "We don't do that in Peru. And I like the commercials."
Moussa Sissoko, Program Coordinator at the Office of International Student Services, said many options existed for international students who couldn't make it home for the holidays.
This year, the office sponsored the Betty Grimwood Thanksgiving Home Stay. This program enabled 34 students to spend Thanksgiving with 24 families in Lawrence, Kansas City and other cities throughout Kansas.
Sissoko also mentioned other options.
"Students who live in the dorms can stay with their friends," he said. "They can also talk with nationality groups that can help them find a place to stay.
McColum also remains open over the holidays."
Many foreign students feel at home because of the similarities between Christmas abroad and Christmas in the United States.
Laura said when he returned to Peru, he would celebrate a Christmas very similar to the holidays he had spent in the United States.
"I remember when I was a little kid, my grandpa would dress himself as Santa Claus," he recalled. "He would give us (all the grandchildren) our presents. Before that, all the family would uncover baby Jesus (in the nativity set), who supposedly was born that day. We would all hold a prayer. Right after, we would all sit around the table, and eat turkey and stuffing."
vicuna agreed the traditions in other countries were similar to those in the United States.
"I had dinner at a friend's house and they had the Christmas tree. They had a big turkey, everything that you usually see at Christmas," he said. "I really don't see much of a difference."

New year's dawn inspires resolutions
By Debra Steele
By Debra Steele
Special to the Kansan
Paige Baraban. Leawood senior, has resolved to stop gossiping for the new year.
"I can't help myself," she said, "I get with my friends and we just start blabbing."
Kate Williams, Wichita junior,
has a broader resolution.
"I want to improve every thing." she said.
Jim Millaway, Topeka sophomore, said, "I just want to kiss a girl on the lips."
This new year, many KU students will resolve to lose weight, eat healthier, quit bad habits, and study more.
According to Real Simple magazine, the best way to keep a resolution is to have a plan. The
first thing to do is set an attainable goal. For some people, it may be easier to keep a resolution if they do it with a friend to keep them motivated.
If that doesn't work, there are many resources at the University of Kansas that can help students keep their resolutions. For those looking to quit smoking, there is a smoking-cessation program at Watkins Memorial Health Center that is free to students.
"We work with students and create plans to help students become nicotine-free," said Janis Ellis-Calpool, health educator at Watkins Health Center.
In addition, Watkins has a dietitian who will work one-on-one with students to help them lose

weight in a healthy manner.
Students such as Greg Geras, Kanorado freshman, are making fitness a priority.
"I resolve to get in shape this year. I've got to lose these love handles," he said.
Robinson Center can help students get into shape after eating too many holiday goodies. There are two gyms, cardio equipment, weights and pools.
In addition, the KU Fit
Program offers aerobics and personal trainers.
"We see a real increase in attendance between January and Spring Break" said Mary Chappell, director of recreation services.
There are many options, from intermurals to taking an activity course in spinning or kickboxing, to name a few. Chappell also said that Anschutz Sports Pavilion is open to students who want to walk or run around the track.
For many students, the new year will bring more interesting resolutions.
Chad Rutledge, Tulsa senior,
said, "I resolve to win
Powerball so I can build a golf
course."

Amazon.com workers try to organize
Organizers want unions to represent Coffeyville workers
The Associated Press
COFFEYVILLE — This is not exactly the Third World, but union organizers say Amazon.com's decision to open a distribution center in Coffeyville has the same effect.
"My guess is that's part of why Amazon came here," said Mike Blake, who represents unionized metal trades workers at Cooperative Refiners in nearby Cherryvale. "This isn't strong union country."
union country.
Coffeyville is home to one of eight
Amazon distribution centers operated by the Seattle-based Internet retailer. The 750,000 square-foot center opened in April 1999 and employs about 500 workers, making it the community's second-largest employer.
Workers start at $9 an hour, about $4 less than counterparts in Seattle. It's a competitive wage in Montgomery County, where the unemployment rate is 5 percent.
National union organizers say their efforts are being hampered by anti-union activity by Amazon managers. But one analyst does not downplay geographical differences.
"Amazon hasn't chosen to put its distribution plants in places like Coffeville for nothing," said Daniel Ries, a dot-com analyst with C.E.
Unterberg, Towin in New York City. "Labor costs are a factor in deciding where to put jobs."
Workers nationwide are threatening holiday disruptions to persuade Amazon officials to grant demands for a union contract.
Organizing efforts at Amazon's distribution centers are just getting off the ground, prompting local organizers to remain silent, said Jill Cashen, national spokeswoman for the United Food and Commercial Workers, one of the two organizing groups. The Prewitt Organizing Fund, a small nonprofit, is the other.
Patty Smith, a spokeswoman for Amazon, said last week that managers were taking steps to inform employees about the company and
why unions weren't needed. This is the third time unions have tried to organize during the holiday rush since the company went online in July 1995.
Workers cite mandatory overtime, holiday scheduling, job security and shift changes among their top complaints. Workers in areas such as Seattle say their $11 to $13 an hour wages are not competitive and that jobs are being exported to low-paying markets, such as Coffeyville.
However, some southeast Kansas residents say $9 an hour is a good wage in their neck of the woods.
City manager Leroy Alsup gladly welcomes Amazon's jobs. The local economy had suffered when Golden Books, the former tenant of the distribution center, closed its doors
Group wants over-the-counter 'morning-after' pill
The Associated Press
ORLANDO, Fla. — Stepping into a morally charged debate yesterday, the American Medical Association called on the Food and Drug Administration to consider making the "morning-after" pill available over the counter.
The AMA's policy-making House of Delegates approved the resolution without discussion during a convention in Orlando. The AMA has 293,000 doctors as members.
"This is a wonderful decision by the AMA. This is a terrific resolution."
"This is a wonderful decision by the AMA. This is a terrific resolution," said Joan Coombs, senior vice president of Planned Parenthood. She said widespread use of the morning-after pill could prevent 1.7 million unplanned pregnancies and 800,000 abortions annually.

the uterus. AMA members suggested that some women might not be able to get the pill in time to prevent a pregnancy unless they are made available over the counter.
the morning-after pill is essentially a high-dose birth control pill. It is different from the RU-486 abortion pill, which acts by causing contractions to expel an embryo from the uterus. RU-486 can be given up to seven weeks after the start of the last menstrual period.
There are two morning after pills on the market: Preven and Plan B. They were approved for U.S. use
within the past two years.
For the FDA to make them available over the counter, a pharmaceutical company would have to submit an application. The FDA would take into account such things as the drug's written instructions and its safety history.
FDA representative Susan Cruzan would not disclose whether the morning-after pill's makers have applied for over-the-counter sale.
Preven's maker, Gynetics of Somerville, N.J., and the manufacturer of Plan B, Women's Capital Corp. of Bellevue, Wash., did not immediately respond to calls for comment.
The Vatican recently condemned the morning-after pill, and the nation's largest retailer, Wal-Mart, decided last year not to offer it at its 2,400 pharmacies, saying it might not sell well enough to make it worthwhile.
Coombs said that if the FDA made the drug available over the counter,

"It will make it more acceptable and consumers will demand it."
Although the morning-after pill is not as widely opposed as RU-486, opponents still consider it a form of abortion.
Planned Parenthood does not consider the pill a form of abortion since it does not work if a fertilized egg has already implanted itself in the uterus.
The side effects can include nausea and vomiting, but an AMA council said in a report that serious side effects were rare and that the pill was "considered safe and effective by the medical community as a whole."

NATURAL DISASTER
Dr. Air New Martens
Ecestasy users Kevin Miller and Will Sobeski, Lawrence residents, huddle next to a wall hidden by posters of raves they have attended. Sobeski said surgical masks soaked with Vick's VapoRub, pacifiers, and bottled water are essential when an ecstasy because they stimulate and protect the body from the drug's side effects.

Continued from page 1A
glow sticks create a Fourth of July for the senses. Miller said glow sticks were part of the ecstasy experience.
"Like the Chinese use fans, we use glow sticks," he said. "You can go into a complete trance if you're really good at it."
Usually, the whirlpool of colors and pulsating music at this secret party would urge Miller to dance along, but tonight he just wants to feel.
He takes a seat next to his friend Lacey so they can rub and scratch each other's backs. They don't feel like dancing tonight because they are on smackey pills — ecstasy spiked with heroin. Miller and Lacey are not usually attracted to each other, but the enhanced sense of touch from the pill turns them into "feeling friends."
They are not alone. Other party-goers are conversing, rubbing and scratching, or dancing, depending on the type of ecstasy pill they are on.
Miller said the two most popular rave pills were speedy-dance pills, which are cocaine-laced, or smackey pills.
"If you don't use a pacifier, the next day your jaw hurts," Will Boseski. Miller's friend and ecstasy user said.
After popping another pill, Miller takes a seat on a small hill outside the arena and leans back with his arms stretched out, a pacifier in his mouth, listening to the music. He can tell the second pill is working by the way every hair on his body moves to the beat of the song.
Miller uses a pacifier to help protect his teeth from grinding while high on the drug.
Sobeski said other essentials included bottled water, surgical masks soaked with Vick's VaporRub and wide-leg pants for dancing and better ventilation. More than trendy accessories, they are vital to prevent overheating, one side effect from the drug.
Ecstasv's ingredients at work
Jennifer, a KU varsity athlete who asked that her real name not be used because drug use violates team and NCAA rules, said ecstasy created bonds between users.
Morris Faiman, professor of pharmacology and toxicology, said the drug's effects occurred in three phases — an initial period of disorientation; then tingling; and finally, happy sociability and the desire to be with other people.
"Your emotions are toyed with," she said. "You love everybody. You could hate the person across the room, but you would feel like you had a connection somehow."
"The peak is the most intense part of the night. You feel confused if it's a good pill," he said. "It's not scary because you want more. That's why people take another pill at the peak because it's like a roller coaster."
Sobeski said he revealed in the first phase of disorientation, comparing it to a sexual climax.
"All pills are different — some with heroin, some with coke, Draino or mescaline," she said. "You don't know what you are putting into your body. That's what's so scary."
But Jennifer said taking the drug could be frightening. Although she knows the side effects of the drug, she said that getting a dose spiked with a more dangerous drug was her No.1 fear.
Sobeski said users also had an intense urge to be touched.
"I would run through a group of people just so I could rub against their bodies," he said. And he is not alone.

The 'x' files — new studies show ecstasy is popular but deadly
Ecstasy's popularity is growing, according to a survey on drug abuse by the National Household Survey. The heaviest use of ecstasy is by those ages 18 to 25. The study showed that 1.4 million people said they had used the drug once in their lives, and the number is increasing.
The drug's infectious popularity has drug experts alarmed According to a recent study by the National Institute on Drug Abuse, ecstasy could have damaging long-term effects on the human brain because it damages neurons, the parts of the brain that produce serotonin, the hormone which aids in thought and memory.
Gerry Riley, counselor at DCCCA, a Lawrence drug-treatment facility, said a depletion of serotonin could start a chain reaction of health problems.
"Serotonin regulates body temperature." Riley said. "So when there is an absence of serotonin, the body doesn't know it, so it overheats."
Faiman, the pharmacology professor, said other undesirable side effects include tensing of muscles in the neck, grinding of teeth, tingling of the jaw, erratic behavior and temporary amnesia. Although the effects usually wear off in four to six hours, some users reported residual confusion for weeks after a single dose, probably because the active ingredient is stored in body fat. Faiman warned that using ecstasy could be fatal to those with pre-existing cardiac disease and said several sudden deaths had been linked to the drug. Faiman said that using ecstasy could be acutely toxic when laced.
"The brakes are off the impulses," he said, adding that repeated use also could lead to depression.
Riley said when serotonin was absent users could lose inhibitions.

1968: Alexander Shulgin begins working with MDMA personally and introduces others to it.
1977: MDMA becomes available on the street as a recreational drug.
1977-1981: Eight people seek emergency attention after MDMA use during this four-year period, according to the Drug Abuse Warning Network (DAWN)
1981-1985: Zero people seek emergency room attention after MDMA use during this period, according to DAMN.

May 31, 1985: MDMA is banned federally.
"that is the problem with illicit drugs. You are never sure of the purity and what you are getting," Faiman said. "It is like playing Russian Roulette."
Even MDMA, or methylenedioxymethamphetamine — ecstasy in its purest form — can kill.
MDMA in high dosages not only increases body temperature, but also could lead to hypothermia, muscle breakdown, heart attacks, strokes and even seizures, according to the NIDA.
Another study from the same institute showed that ecstasy stimulated users to dance for extended periods, which could lead to dehydration, hypertension and heart or kidney failure.
Easy to get. hard to prosecute
Ecestasy has been illegal since 1985, but remains easy for users to obtain. Every year since 1985, the rate of ecestasy arrests has increased.
U. S. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kan. said ecstasy seizures by the United States Customs Service had increased dramatically, from less than 500,000 tablets in 1997 to more than four million tablets during the first five months of 2000. Brownback is considering introducing a bill that would increase punishment for convicted ecstasy dealers.
"The law enforcement should go after the people that smoke crack," Robins said. "I've never heard of anyone that does escesty go shoot someone."
"I will be looking into bills that seek to rein in this growing epidemic," he said. Chris Robins, Kansas City, Mo., freshman and ectasy user, thinks Congress should go after traffickers of "harder" drugs.
The Lawrence Police Department says ecstasy is not as widely used as other drugs.
"People get caught from time to time but it's not as prevalent as marijuana or crack cocaine," Det. M.T. Brown said.
But Jennifer, the KU athlete, said ecstasy was plentiful and easy to get.
"I could have a pill for you in five seconds," she said.
One Lawrence ecstasy dealer, who goes by the name "Kentucky Gentleman," said that all of his clientele were current KU students and that he sold an average of 100 pills per week at $25 per pill — a gross revenue of $2,500 per week.
"Ecstasy is everywhere," he said. "I think people don't get busted for it because it's easy to hide. Just take it before you go out."
Dan Dunbar, assistant Douglas County district attorney, said only a handful of users had been convicted for possession because the drug was hard to prosecute. That's because sellers usually possess only small amounts of the drug. Dunbar said.
"Ecstasy has its own subculture
among college kids, but they don't hold it in large amounts," he said.
Dunbar said a person caught selling the drug for the first time would be charged with a misdemeanor and the second time with a felony.
Ecstasy — the history
Ironically, ecstasy came to prominence as a drug useful in psychological therapy.
Alexander Shulgin, who refers to himself as the godfather of ecstasy, was the first to write about the drug's effects on humans in 1978.
"The drug gives a warm feeling of interaction with people." Shulgin said in a telephone interview from his home in California.
Ecstasy was patented in Germany in 1914 by the German company Merck but was never marketed.
"No one knew what the drug was for," Shulgin said. "They didn't patent it for any specific reason."
Then it spread like wildfire.
ougin got involved with the drug when its patent expired in 1965 and said he intended the drug to be used as a therapeutic device, not as a recreational drug. He gave the drug to his therapist friends who used it to treat their patients.
James Grobe, professor of psychology, said although the drug was intriguing because of its cultural history, it was too dangerous to be a therapeutic drug.
"It was originally thought to have therapeutic benefits," he said. "It was thought that everyone should be trying this drug and the world would be a peaceful place. But there is a lot of toxicity associated with the drug."
Shulgin said he was no longer personally experimenting with ecstasy or MDMA.
"Everyone is loving deeper, not aggressively," she said. Lacey said women didn't need to feel wary of men because users were less likely to harass women while on the drug.
"My research is discovering new things. I'm not a drug user," he said. "But I do support the whole argument of all drugs should be a personal choice, not a legal choice."
Users agree that the drug is very popular. Lacey thinks the drug will always be popular, especially among women, because it was considered a friendlier safer drug.
"Drugs have a pattern. They go up and down. Right now, it is up, then it will go down and something else will replace it," she said.
Ecstasy — the drug of the future?
However, Lacey added that ecstasy could lead to regretful consequences.
Christy Edwards, out-patient coordinator for DCCCA, said ecstasy use was a trend that would ultimately subside.
"You are more likely to hook up with people that you wouldn't normally book up with." she said.
She thinks the drug will be popular because police don't always recoginize it. And Miller agrees.
miner, the KU dropout who likes ecstasy so much that he chose it instead of a college education, says he will continue to use the drug until he can find another drug that can provide a better high.
Until then, Miller and a growing number of users plan to rave on in a state of ecstasy — with "x" as the drug of choice for a generation with the same name.

Bush: his lawyers urged judges to throw out recount
ATLANTA — Lawyers for George W. Bush asked a federal appeals court yesterday to throw out manual recounts of ballots in three Florida counties because they were "utterly standardless."

"Why isn't this case moot? Why isn't this appeal moot?" Judge Charles Wilson, appointed by Clinton, asked Olson.
Nation/World
Judge Ed Carnes — who was appointed by Bush's father, former President George Bush — asked why it was constitutional to do hand recounts only in Florida's three largest counties, all of which were predominantly Democratic.
Another Bush appointee, Judge Stanley Birch Jr., lobbed the sharpest questions at Democrats, saying repeatedly that Florida law provides no clear standards for the recounts.
"No one has won this election, as far as I know," he said. "It's still very up in the air."
Olson noted that Gore is still contesting the election in court.

Ivory Coast wracked by violence
The Associated Press
ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast — Police battled opposition supporters, and gangs of youths split slums into ethnic enclaves in the Ivory Coast's main city yesterday, as a second day of political and ethnic violence left at least 10 people dead. An opposition official estimated that 30 people had been killed.
Youths with machetes and iron bars set up roadblocks to find, and often beat, members of enemy tribes as the city once known as the "Paris of Africa" turned into a patchwork of chaos and calm, with most stores closed and people staying home. Hardest hit were Abidjan's poor, densely populated areas.
The protests were set off by the Supreme Court's decision last week to disqualify the main opposition leader, Alassane Dramane
Quattara, from running in legislative elections on Sunday. The decision led to a protest on Monday, with the violence extending into yesterday.
In many cases, the mainly northern, Muslim followers of Uoattara bludgeoned and stabbed those identified as southerners, while some pro-government southerners carried out revenge attacks.
Regional and ethnic tensions have heightened since December 1999, when Ivory Coast's first coup shattered the country's reputation as a haven of financial and political security in a region wracked by wars and civil unrest.
Hundreds died in violence following October's presidential elections. In that vote, Gen. Robert Guel, the junta leader, stopped vote-counting and claimed victory when it appeared Laurent Ghabgo, an opposition activist, had more
votes. The move sparked an uprising that brought Gbabo to power.
Ouattara also was banned from the presidential vote. In both cases, the court ruled he was ineligible because of doubts about his citizenship. Ouattara insists he and his parents are Ivorian.
Yopougon residents said southerners burned the homes of Muslim northerners in the neighborhood.
The United Nations and France, Ivory Coast's former colonial ruler, have criticized Gbagbo's government for barring Ouattara from the legislative ballot. Yesterday, the United Nations canceled election assistance to the country.
Yesterday's violence came despite a state of emergency and a 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew imposed by the government the night before. The measures remain in effect until Tuesday.

Choir master
By Lauren Brandenburg writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Simon Carrington's days are full of music.
Carrington, director of choral activities, spends his days trying to improve the performance level of the University of Kansas choirs. He arrives at University on his bike at 7:15 each morning to teach graduate students, conduct choir rehearsals and do music-related paperwork before biking home at 6:30 p.m. He usually spends his evenings attending concerts.
Two awards — one gold and one platinum — for the group's record sales hang on his office wall, but Carrington dismisses their importance.
"We were just a bunch of students with high musical ideals working at the highest of ideals," he said. "It was in the days of LPs. We made about 72 CDs, all of which sold respectably. We were occasionally on the Billboard charts."
Brendan Rice, a second-year medical student who sang in Carington's choirs for four years, said his teacher was always humble about being in The King's Singers.
about being in the King's band.
"I think it would be easy for someone in his position to be self-aggrandizing," Rice said. "I assumed that when I came to KU and heard a professor was in a world-famous band that would be the case. He was really the most down-to-earth professor I had. There was no arrogance at all, which is really surprising, especially in music these days."
The group performed eight times on Johnny Carson's 'Tonight Show', Carrington said. The King's Singers sang "anything that could be done by an unaccompanied group of six male singers," he said, singing

"When it got to the 25th year, I thought I had done it long enough." Carrington said. "You have to be very agile, very alert, like an athlete."
Jackie Davis, then-director of the Lied Center, approached Carrington when the group sang at the center's opening in 1993. She told him the director of choral activities was leaving.
A new career
"I had been to Lawrence a couple of times and always liked the town," Carrington said. "They were looking for an interim director, and I thought that would be good because I didn't know if I would be any good at all."
He enjoyed the post, applied for the permanent job in 1994 and has since received tenure.
Rice said Carrington always brought out the best in his students and strove to make sure the music's quality was high. Carrington's students also like how Carrington is more than a professor, Rice said.
Carrington said he enjoyed trying to get people to believe in themselves so they sung at a higher level than they thought they could.
"He wasn't there just to teach music." Rice said. "He was there as a mentor to all the students, and he was friendly to all students outside the classroom. You could go to his office at any time."
side the classroom. Carrington said it could be frustrating trying to get his students' best performances, though, because they were juggling other classes and jobs.
Carrington directs three choirs — the Chamber Choir, the Oread Consort and the Collegium Musicum — and supervises other directors in the program.
"I enjoy rehearsals and training the choir very much, even
that it's a relatively small part of my work," he said.
work. "I think all musicians enjoy making music and put up with the rest of it," he said. "I wish I had a little more administrative help, but it's just the way things work."
Carrington said he otherwise spends a lot of time doing "grunt work," such as taking risers to churches for performances.
But the hard work has paid off. This spring, the Chamber Choir will be one of six collegiate choirs nationwide to perform at the American Choral Directors Association National Convention in San Antonio, Texas. Carrington said this was about the highest national recognition he could get the University.
Former student Rice said the University was extremely lucky to have Carrington.
A personal stamp
"I want to take them somewhere where they can feel a connection with the past because here in the Midwest the past only goes back to 1865 or something," he said.
Carrington also is excited about taking the Chamber Choir to Brazil this spring.
Outside of his work at the University, Carrington puts on freelance clinics for other choirs, such as the one in Singapore during Thanksgiving break or the one for 700 honors singers in Salt Lake City a month ago.
He also can recruit for the University at these. But on Monday, Carrington comes back to the University to direct.
"If I leave after Chamber Choir, I can race somewhere and get back by Monday in time for choir," he said.
"You have to be out to rehearse a choir very efficiently," he said. "I think any director—if they're any good — puts their own personal stamp on a choir."

Now, he is working toward the Sunday performance of Holiday Vespers, in which all the University choirs will perform together and the KU symphony orchestra will play.
"Vespers is all things to all persons," he said. "It is an event welcoming all the holidays — Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Christmas."
ing all the holidays — Hanukkah, Kwanzaa on Christmas. His students are working hard to learn the music, he said, because they only have the two weeks between Thanksgiving break and the performance to learn it.
it is the 76th annual performance, but Carrington tries his best not to repeat anything.
“You can't stand still,” he said. “I wouldn't ever repeat anything. I always look at who's succeeding, who's got a voice that's current. Things change in music all the time.”
Carrington said it was very important not to be isolated in the world of music but to hear what was going on. He has, however, quit listening to rock and pop music, other than to keep up with his son's taste.
"I love listening to choral music," Carrington said. "I used to listen to more rock and pop, and I still keep up with my son's stuff. But I decided that I'm nearly 60 and want to listen to other stuff."
"Frightfully emotional"
Carrington describes himself as "fortunate."
He was born in a thatched house built in 1680 in England. He and his wife still keep a flat in London and a house in France, where they go when they can. And he hopes to buy and restore an old house when he retires.
His mother, a cellist, got him started in music, and his chair directors at Cambridge University also influenced him.
"I hope I'm a similar influence on students here," Carrington said. He thinks of his students as young professionals-in-the-making even though he knows not all of them will continue with music. When he gets e-mail from former students, he thinks he's done something right.
meeting right. He said he could be "frightfully emotional" in his directing.
"Some pieces we get to the end, and I say, 'That was excellent,' and have to wait awhile so we can go on," Carrington said. "That's what the power of music is about."

Injuries threaten Kansas vigor
The Jayhawks planned to enter tomorrow's game at Wake Forest as a well-oiled machine, but instead, third-ranked Kansas will have more nicks than an old pick-up truck.

Junior guard Jeff Boschee may not play tomorrow because of a sprained ankle. Ditto for senior forward Kenny Gregory, who is suffering from a stress fracture in his foot and lingering back pain. Gregory's backup, senior forward Luke Axtell, is still recovering from a sprained ankle of his own. And freshman point guard Mario Kinsey still isn't 100 percent from the surgery on his leg a few weeks back.
Suffice to say, the Kansas trainers are earning their salaries this week, and Kansas coach Roy Williams will have to earn his tomorrow night.
"It's been frustrating," said Williams about his team's mounting injury problems. "Some years you get lucky and don't have (injuries), and some years you do. As coaches, we know we're going

to have little aches and pains every year, but Kenny Gregory's stress fracture and his back are a little more than aches and pains."
Of all of the Jayhawks' ailments, Gregory's and Boschee's are the most serious. Gregory's back has been hurting since the preseason, but the senior forward said his foot — which he hurt in practice last month — was what bothered him the most.
"It's in a lot of pain," said Gregory, who leads Kansas with 17.9 points per game. "I can't run as fast as I want to. I can't cut like I want to. I can't get on the boards. I can't jump without pain. So there's a lot of things that I really can't do as well as I want to right now."
Williams knows how much pain his leading scorer is in, and he has limited Gregory's activity in practice for the past two days.
Kenny is such a pany," joked Williams. "He didn't do anything yesterday, and had to go half court today. Of course, I'm saying all that jokingly. Kenny has a legitimate injury and has legitimate pain."
"We'll see how it reacts," Williams said. "Because if it comes back up and swells again
As for Boschee, he sat out Monday's practice and practiced on a limited basis last night after spraining his ankle on Sunday. Williams said the way Boschee's ankle reacted to today's practice would determine whether he would play against the Demon Deacons.

Resurrected team hopes to navigate to top 20 ranking
By Michael Sudhalter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas sailing team has rebuilt its program with the return of a former coach, the addition of several talented sailors and the addition of a women's squad.
Chris LaBorde, Shreveport, La., sophomore, is one of the leaders on the 20-member co-ed race team. LaBorde, who has sailed competitively for the past seven years, said he enjoyed the unique challenges competitive sailing presented.
"At the beginning of the race, each team is jockeying for position," said LaBorde. "It is kind of like chess, because you are trying to figure something out before your opponent does."
The club has had an easier time planning its strategy because of coach Norman Castle's return to the program. Castle, who coached the Jayhawks from 1989-91, left the club to try out for the 1992 Olympics. Although his group did not make the cut for the Olympics, Castle was part of a sailing team that won the 1991 North American Sailing Championship.
While Castle said he believed a top 20 placement was an attainable goal,
American Saving Group
"I told the team to show me that they were serious, and I would be too," said Castle. "Within another year, I would like to see us ranked in the top 20 nationally."
LaBorde has a related goal of placing in the top two of the Southeast Intercollegiate Sailing Association, which includes Baylor, Kansas State, New Orleans, Oklahoma, Texas, Texas A&M, Texas A&M-Galveston, Tulane, and Western Florida.
If the Jayhawks reach this goal, they will travel to Kingston, R.I., for the national competition in May.
The Hawks placed fourth out of 17 teams at the Belmont Station of the Chicago Yacht Club Regatta during Thanksgiving break.
Even with the addition of a women's squad, some women still compete on the co-ed team.
the coed team. Jesse Anderson, Lawrence sophomore, began sailing at the Jayhawks' home marina of Clinton Lake at the age of seven. When she enrolled at the University, she knew some members of the club and began sailing competitively.
Anderson said she was surprised by how physically demanding the sport was.
"Sailing is an incredibly physical sport," said Anderson. "I've never had so many bruises before."
In addition to being one of the pioneers for the women's team, Anderson said she was interested in promoting the sport of sailing in the area.
"I want to set up a sailing school so people in Kansas can begin at an earlier age," she said.

Can you have too much of a good thing?
Scott has seen her playing time increase drastically this year and has made the most of her opportunity. After averaging a little more than 13 minutes per game last season, she is now playing just less than 21 minutes every time out
"I'm trying to do the best I can with them." Jackson said.
Leading the charge at the point is senior Jennifer Jackson, followed closely by junior Selena Scott.
She is also close to surpassing her total of 23 assists from last season.
In the consolation game of the Lady Blazer Classic on Nov. 26, Scott poured in 13 points, dished out five assists and had three steals.
Washington also said the best thing about having multiple players who can handle the ball was that the 'Hawks wouldn't have to completely rely on Jackson.
"That's my job," Scott said. "I'm doing what I have to do to get them the shots."
Kansas coach Marian Washington said she was happy Scott had stepped up and responded to the additional time.
Although Scott is seeing increased playing time this season, Jackson is still getting her minutes. She is second on the team in playing time, just four minutes behind senior forward Brooke
That was the case last season, as Jackson led the Jayhawks in minutes at more than 32 per game.

Reves at 27 minutes per game.
"Getting the extra rest, I think it really speaks to the depth of our team this year," Jackson said. "We're playing really well one through nine right now."
Jackson hasn't been asked to carry the entire load and has actually gotten some time at shooting guard.
"It's a different look for me, and I enjoy it." Jackson said.
Although Kansas is stacked with pure ball-handlers, the Jayhawks can also rely on junior shooting guard K.C. Hilgenkamp to run the offense. She has molded into the Kansas offensive system, averaging nearly nine points per game, including a 12-point performance
in Saturday's loss to St. Joseph.
"It was just one of those nights where everything was going in," Hilgenkamp said.

However, she was quick to say there was room for improvement.
The youngest of the Kansas guards, who consequently get the least playing time, are sophomore Kristen May and freshman Leila Mengue.
Washington said May should be back on her game by the time the Big 12 Conference schedule roiled around. May suffered a serious knee injury last April, which had been affecting her play. Washington also said Menguc was making freshman mistakes by trying too hard.

you'll see.
Get the tissues ready -- this one's a tear-jerker.
I just got in my car and started driving and found it. I did almost the same thing with journalism.
When I first headed to the University of Kansas my freshman year, I had no idea where I was going. I mean that literally and figuratively. I didn't know where Lawrence was, and if I did find it, I didn't know what I was supposed to do when I got there.
I got into journalism by accident. You see, I've always wanted to be a cartoonist. I applied at the Kansan my freshman year to be one. I took it very seriously.
My interview lasted all of 30 seconds and was one of the most insulting experiences of my life. I was so angry that I promised myself somehow I'd be a cartoonist for the Kansan, even if it meant having to become editor, firing all the cartoonists and promoting myself.
Eventually, I was hired as a reporter. Then I became a national award-winning reporter. The higher-ups around here like award winners, so they offered me a promotion. I declined. All I wanted was to be a cartoonist. Done deal, they said.
That was so easy, I asked for another job. I told them I'd like to try a semester of sports columns. Done deal again. Three years later, I'm still a little
Oh, and if you want to buy a copy of my book with two year's worth of sports columns, some cartoons, original fiction and artwork, plus a photo of myself and Lou Ferrigno of The Incredible Hulk, then drop the sports desk an e-mail. No, I really don't expect to sell very many, but I'll give you one guess at what my entire family is getting for Christmas.
Speaking of usual haunts, we've bought a keg down at Rick's Place, 623 Vermont, where we'll be celebrating the end of my career as a sports columnist Saturday evening. I invite you all to come down and join me in a beverage.
So, what becomes of "Jonesey" now? Starting in January, I'll become assistant editor for a golf-industry magazine located here in the town I love — Lawrence, Kan. So don't be surprised to see me at my usual haunts.
shocked at how well it all worked out.
So thanks for reading. I've been told that it's been a pleasure to read my columns. But for me, it's been an honor to write for such a great audience.
I'll still be writing, in case anyone is interested in reading me elsewhere. I'm a weekly columnist at www.MarvelOnline.net. The Web site is for Marvel Comics, and I write about comic books every week. I love comic books much more than sports, so for me, it's almost a dream job.
You'll have to pay to read me there. Between $5 and $25 a month. But it's about time you people had to pay to read me, you know?
You can also find me at the following magazines: ToyFare, "In" Power and Wizard. May I strongly suggest ToyFare to my readers? I get to flex my humor muscles for them, and the whole mag is hilarious.
After two years, I feel like we're all friends around here, you and I.
Finally, some thanks are in order.
Thanks, Mom, Dad and Sis. Every one of these columns were written with the inspiration of you three in some way or another. Thanks, professors Bass and Musser, for all your help. Thanks, Lester Earl. Eric Chenowith and Luke Axtell, for being such ... characters.
Ladies and gentlemen, Rock Chalk Javhawk.
And give 'em hell

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 6). A loved one demands your attention, curtailing your freedom. Don't abandon old friends in the meantime; when it's right, it won't be either/or. Get a new outfit to match the new you in December. Keep resources private in January. Your new skills create new opportunities in February. Focus on love in April, but don't abandon your friends. An older co-worker's there when you need him in May. Get what you want through another in June. Travel plans might be delayed in August. Don't overspend on an outing in October. The best things in life are still free.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day. O the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
Even you cannot be two places at the same time,
and it seems like that's what's required. Do your
best to please your boss, your parents and whoever
else is barking orders at you. But don't run yourself
ragged. Luckily, you're naturally quick.
raurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
You have more than enough to do already. So, if someone who's in a rush starts shouting, your impulse may be to walk out. Don't let that emergency give you an ulcer! If you can help, do. You'll look good, and could pitch nicely.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
You're almost too popular! Everyone wants you, but don't stretch yourself too thin. You always think you can cram one more activity into your busy schedule, but is that wise? You might take the fun out of everything! Be selective.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5.
An older person, like your parent or your boss,
could get into a terrible mood. This is someone who
has a tendency to get nasty under pressure. Give
this person a wide berth. If something can go
wrong, odds are good it will.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is an 8.
You're ready to go full speed ahead but don't trample on a sensitive person's feelings in your exuberance. You're strong and, let's face it, dynamic.
But keep your confidence under control, and don't be overbearing. It's counter-productive.
Virao (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Today is a 5.
Consider a change to your domestic environment carefully. You hate confusion, and there's plenty of that at home now. You may feel rather desperate and ready to grab anything that works. A loved one may be concerned about money, too. Don't panic or go over budget. Get creative!
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 7.
Try something new, but don't go too far too fast.
You're able to suffer a nasty bump, and that would be just awful. Participate but don't overdo it the first time. You don't want to sprain anything. Do your warm-up exercises!
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
**Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — today is a G.**
The loot is pouring in, but it could be pouring out just as fast. Don't confuse your net with your gross. You might have let your costs get out of hand, thinking you were made of money. Well, you're not.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
**Gerardus (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.**
There's something on your list that should be a top priority. And, it's misnumbered. In other words, you're not taking this situation as seriously as you should. Your mind's on other things, most likely. Go through that list one more time.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
Have you double-booked yourself? It doesn't look as though there's much slack in your schedule. That's the trouble with setting appointments every 15 minutes. Cancel something so you have time to breathe.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7.
B
You inspire your friends with your gun-ho attitude. You think you can fly, and maybe you can. Check your landing gear before you take off, though. Fix it before it's broken, and you'll pass the upcoming test.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7
fuses (Feb. 19-Mar 20) — Today is a 7.
A promotion or better job looks good, but don't make the move quite yet. Check out all the pros and cons one more time. Then wait. The new gig might not be as wonderful as it seems. Don't give up a sure thing for a long shot.

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
Dallas coach could go to Oklahoma State
STILLWATER, Okla. — Dallas Cowbies assistant Les Miles reportedly will become the football coach at Oklahoma State University.
Miles was the school's offensive coordinator in 1997 when the team went 8-4 and reached the Alamo Bowl. He would replace Bob Simmons, who was fired in November after six seasons.
oSu
Athletic director Terry Phillips would not confirm that Miles had resigned but the school has scheduled a
news conference for today.
"We're sorry to lose him, but he made a top contribution while he was here," Cowboys owner Jerry Jones told the Dally Oklahoma. "He's extremely well-qualified to be a college head coach, and I know he had a very serious passion for Oklahoma State."
Miles was not at practice in Dallas on Monday, and the team was off yesterday. The Cowboys would not confirm Miles left the team, and said any announcement on his hiring would be left to Oklahoma State.
Last week, Boise State coach Dirk Koetter accepted the Oklahoma State job but rescinded his acceptance a day later and took an offer from Arizona State.
Oklahoma City TV station KFOR reported Miles told Jones of his intention to resign and accept the Oklahoma State job.
Last week, five Oklahoma State players met with Phillips to describe the kind of coach they hoped he would hire, and they used Miles as a model.

Malone passes Wilt for 2nd on scoring list
SALT LAKE CITY — Kari Malone moved past Wilt Chamberlain for second place on the NBA's career scoring list last night.
Donnan, who came to Georgia in 1996, has a career record of 103-40, including 39-19 at Georgia. He has failed, however, against Georgia's biggest rivals, going 6-14 against Georgia Tech, Florida, Auburn and Tennessee.
Malone hit a scoop in the lane with 4:58 left in the second quarter of Utah's game against Toronto, giving him 31,420 points — one more than Chamberlain. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is the career leader with 38,387.
NBA
Malone, the most prolific power forward in NBA history and a 16-year fixture for the Utah Jazz, went into the Toronto game needing eight points to pass Chamberlain.
He finally made a 22-foot jumper midway through the period.
But it took a while for Malone, nicknamed the "Mailman," to get going. He missed his first shot and dropped a pass from John Stockton
After sitting most of the second quarter, Melone came in to cheers. He quickly threw in a jumper for the apparent historic basket just, but Toronto was called for an illegal defense, negating the basket.
out of bounds, his only touches in the first five minutes.
The basket to pass Chamberlain came, naturally, on a feed from Stockton. Malone stepped into the lane and flipped the ball in, touching off a chorus of cheers that continued until a dead ball about one minute later.
Chamberlain, who died in October 1999 at age 63, scored 31,419 points during 14 seasons in the NBA. He averaged 30.1 points a game and holds the league's single-game scoring record of 100 points.
Former NBA player testifies in murder case
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Prosecutors brought a former NBA player to the stand in an attempt to confirm a former girlfriend's testimony that Rae Camth confessed to a drive-by shooting.
NFL
Charles Shackleford, previously with the Charlotte Hornets, testified on January 3's murder trial that Candace Smith relayed to him what she said Carumt told her the November 1999 shooting of Cherica Adams.

Smith said "he basically confessed to her at the hospital about what happened," Shackleford said in a testimony that Judge Charles Lamm told iorors to disregard.
Shackleford testified that Smith said Camuth told her "he had something to do with whatever happened to Chenica."
Shackleford returned to the witness stand yesterday for cross-examination by

defense attorney David Rudoff. Rudoff's early questions concentrated on what Shackleford knew about Smith's relationship with Camuth and when he learned about Adams' shooting,
Shackleford said he was married at the time he was having an affair with Smith, a previous girlfriend of Caruth's.

Students savor benefits of intramural basketball
By Aaron Johnson sports@kanson.com Kansas sportwriter
The intramural pre-holiday basketball tournament is under way, and participants are once again showing strong interest.
Intramural basketball has long been the most popular intramural sport at the University. Those who play attribute their interest to the competition, fun, and stress relief the game provides.
Brian Weiser, Highland Park, Ill., sophomore and member on the squad Chipotle, said the rivalry on the court at Kansas had always been amazing.
Team competition is a major incentive for former high school athletes to participate in intramural basketball.
Jenny Finmen, Overland Park sophomore and member of the Kappa Kappa Gamma team, said some women in her sorority wanted to keep playing after their high school days were finished.
"A lot of the girls played high school basketball, so this is one
Intramural director Jason Krone said the sport was popular because of team camaraderie.
of the only ways to continue their love for the game," she said.
"It is obvious that intramural basketball provides another avenue for players to compete," Krone said. "But the fun and enjoyment that the game brings to many is not to be underrated."
Fimmen said the possibility that any team could win added excitement to the intramural basketball tournament and regular season.
"It is so much fun to go out and play with people you know," she said. "The game of basketball is great, and it is even better when having fun is a priority."
Arnone agreed that a lot of players expanded their social circles through the game.
"It's fun to hang out with new people and meet new people," he said. "The camaraderie is great."
But Krone said players were also motivated by factors other

than competition and friendship.
"Intramural basketball also provides a sort of stress relief for some participants." Krone said.
Jenny Fimmen Overland Park sophomore
Weiser said basketball provided him an outlet for his daily frustrations.
"Whenever I have a hard day on campus, it is always nice to get out on the court and run and jump a little bit," he said.
Fimmen agreed the game of basketball was a spirited one.
"For those who just love to play basketball, the enjoyment can be whatever they make it," she said.

New Year's destinations beckon visits from students
By Anne Robertson Special to the Kansan
For students who are still looking for something to do this New Year's Eve, opportunities abound.
Students who are willing to fork over a little more cash can gamble at the casinos in Kansas City.
Angela Agustin, Wichita senior, just turned 21 and said that she would like to hit the boats this New Year's.

"I've never been, and it seems like a better place to be than just at home," Agustin said. "It seems like fun."
If the bank account is running low, not to worry — cheaper and more creative options exist. Throwing a theme party — a martini party, perhaps — at home instead of going out and spending a lot of cash is an option. Guests can bring a bottle of something that fits the theme or another personal favorite.
Still, some students opt to make money on New Year's Eve rather than spend it on champagne or expensive cover charges.
If alcohol is not on the top of the list for the "real" new millennium, a scavenger hunt is a possibility. Jonathan Ng, Leawood sophomore, and a group of his friends employed this option last year. The group went to the Plaza with a list of things to find and took Polaroids of the items when they found them.
"Not only did we get a chance to have fun in a creative way," Ng said, "we also got to capture the moment and save our Polaroids to remember our New Year's party."

sana.
Other lucrative New Year's jobs could be working as servers or valets at restaurants and hotels.
Traveling is another option for students this New Year's.
Katy Hyman and her friends are headed for the Magic Kingdom.
"I have a friend who works for Disney," said Hyman, Denver, Colo., senior. "So we're going taking a little road trip to Orlando to celebrate New Year's."
Tyler French, Overland Park senior,
will be making a trek to Cuba.
I'm going to travel, and hopefully I'll be able to teach English," French said. French has been studying Latin American History, with a focus on the Cuban Revolution, so he's going to be living with friends he has in Cuba.
"Cuba is celebrating the millennium this year," he said. "Now it's truly 2000 years, and there is going to be a nation-wide celebration."
Holiday spirit inspires decorations

some students throw their own creative twists into the seasonal decorations. Rachael Meyer, Niles, Mich. sophomore, is participating in a porch-decorating contest at her apartment complex, Jefferson Commons, 2511 West 31st St. Members of the management vote on the best-decorated porch, and last year the winner received $20 off their rent for the month.

"I think we should have a manger, real big like, with something weird in it, like an alien." Meyer said.
arlen, Meyer Baird Corrie Noll, Nortonville sophomore, and her roommate decorated their apartment.
"We have a bunch of snowmen, garland and lights," Noll said.
Noll and her roommate saved money by decorating a pine tree outside of their apartment instead of buying a tree.
"We just put some lights on it." Noll said.
Various craft stores also offer decorating ideas. Dru Fritzel, part owner of Interiors, 645 New Hampshire St., offers seasonal decorations according to themes.
Fritzel said. Many of the Christmas trees in the store are decorated with animals, nuts and berries.
"This year you will see a winter, woodsy theme going on."
Fritzel said he urged people to keep it simple.
"I think main trees look better if they don't have a whole hedgepod of different things on them," she said.
When decorating the store,

One of the most popular, inexpensive items at Interiors is an array of twigs funneled into a cone. It comes in different sizes and is versatile for any season
"You can put ornaments and ribbon and wrap lights around it and it will look great," Fritzel said.
Fritzel said the cone could be decorated with orange lights for Halloween or berries for fall.
Interiors has items ranging in price from $2 to $2,000.
"So there is something for everyone," she said.

At last year's party, the CCO and the Boys and Girls Club gave away nearly 750 toys to more than 500 Lawrence children.
Along with donations of toys, gift wrapping supplies and snacks for the children and their parents, CCO needed volunteers to help work and decorate for the party and to wrap gifts.
Captain Sharon Young, associate officer for the Salvation Army, 946 New Hampshire St., also said she noticed more volunteers coming into the Salvation Army during the holiday season.
"Especially after last year, people are excited about the holiday party and are hoping to participate in it again." Reedy said.
"Everyone in general needs to stop and say, 'This world isn't just about me, it is about everybody else,'" Young said.
The Salvation Army welcomes volunteers to become involved in one of their many holiday projects. Young said volunteers simply needed to call the Salvation Army and offer their time.
This year, Young said they needed volunteers to sort and distribute holiday food, ring bells and collect donations and help organize and work at the Holiday Toy Shop. The toy shop program allows low-income families to shop for gifts free of charge. Young said the program let people feel the satisfaction of picking out a present for a family member or loved one, even if they weren't able to pay for it.

Merchants offer options for gift-givers on tight budgets

Pressure to afford holiday gifts for family and friends, while staying within a collegiate-sized budget, can make any student Grinchlike.
However, students needn't sell their blood plasma for holiday cash quite yet. Gifts costing less than $20 are abundant in Lawrence, giving the harried and cost-conscious student many options.
Kristi Kouloukius, co-owner of The Casbah, 803 Massachusetts St., said she understood that students had trouble scrounging for cash to meet holiday deadlines.
"You can get too high on your prices, and that gets very hard for students to afford," Koulouks said. She said her store sold some gift items that would be affordable for college students.
"You can always find a little gift of some sort," she said. "We focus on the out-of-the-ordinary. We try to find unique items that aren't found elsewhere."
For the holidays, "jewelry is always the number one gift," she said.
The Casbah sells small boxes carved from cinnamon wood ($10-13). The boxes can store jewelry or other knick-knacks.
For an unusual gift, Chinese calligraphy tools have been popular, Kouloukis said. Ink ($8), a brush ($2.50), and a rice-paper tablet ($8.12), make the calligraphy set an affordable present.
Kouloukis said hand-blown glass pens and penholders (15$ are)
another gift possibility.
For significant others, the Casbah sells Munachi love stones ($5) — miniature statues of lovers carved from alabaster. Indigenous Peruvian folklore says that if the intertwined hairs of two lovers were tied around the necks of the stone, the lovers would never part.
Of course, the best gifts for alleviating shopping stress at The Casbah are worry dolls ($2.50 each)
The Casbah is one of many
Lawrence stores offering gifts aimed at buvers on tight budgets.
Nikole Rowe, the business coordinator for the Phoenix Gallery, 919 Massachusetts St., said she thought students were intimidated by gallery-type stores, or stores with only one focus area. She said she hoped students knew these stores offered holiday merchandise.
Rowe said Book Buddies ($6.50),
made in St. Joseph, Mo., were a
new and popular item. This artsy-

looking item, made of wire coil,
holds a book open from both sides.
To tell a special someone that love is more than a passing fancy, the gallery sells 24-carat, gold-covered mistletoe.
Rowe said the Phoenix Gallery's merchandise was drawn from local and regional sources.
Each item the store sells is accompanied by information on how each item was crafted and the
artist who created the item. Rowe said this information personalized a holiday gift from her store.
"Especially for people who are from out of state, they know they are getting something from Kansas." she said.
Another store that might be off the beaten path for students is The Bay Leaf, 725 Massachusetts St. This store provides a wide variety of food gifts fitting into a student budget. When shopping for coffee or tea lovers, this is the spot. Amongst the many jams, food items and teas. The Bay Leaf also carries items such as dishes, potholders and cookie cutters for the chef on your shopping list.
Gunda Hiebert, co-owner of the Bav Leaf, said she was pleased with
how her store's displays for the holidays turned out.
"I think we have the nicest Christmas merchandise we have had in years." Hiebert said.
Another store students may not think of during the holiday shopping frenzy is Southwest And More, 727 Massachusetts St. Maria Martin, co-owner, said the store's specialty was Native-American jewelry and fine art, along with Mexican imports and other gift items.
The handmade element of many of the store's items could make gifts special. Ceramic Hopf art, spicy salsas and Southwest-themed calendars, tow towels, coasters and books all cost less than $20.
KU-inspired gifts popular with family
By Debra Steele
Special to the Kansan
This holiday season, many students will opt for the convenience of buying KU-related gifts on campus for their families.
"I have to buy all of the KU paraphernalia I can before I graduate," Krugel said.
Lawrence carry a variety of gifts for KU fans.
The Jayhawk Bookstore, Kansas Union Bookstore and other stores in
Shawn Krugel, Morehead, Ky., senior, plans on buying a KU blanket for his mom and a KU sweater for his dad.
"We can barely keep them on the racks." he said.
Jeremy Howard, gift buyer for the Jayhawk Bookstore, said the store's biggest seller this season has been KU hooded sweatshirts.
Fleece blankets and Jayhawk ornaments also are big sellers this time of year, he said. Even gifts for pets are available. The Jayhawk Bookstore carries KU collars and leashes as well as doggy dishes.
Mark Trompet, gift buyer for the Kansas Union Bookstore, said the
bookstore's biggest sellers have been history glasses. Each set of glasses features the evolution of the Jayhawk.
Those wanting to have a KU-inspired Christmas this year can purchase lights in the shape of Jayhawks, a variety of ornaments, stockings and even a Jayhawk dressed as Santa Claus.
For the ultimate sports fan, there are KU footballs, basketball poms, basketball calendars and Jayhawk golf accessories.
Nikki Campbell, Kansas City, Mo,
sophomore, plans to buy her dad KU
golf covers. tees and golf balls.
Brandon Wright, Tulsa, Okla.
senior, said, "I was hoping to buy a KU bowl T-shirt, but unfortunately it was another disappointing season."
With stores carrying everything from KU Monopoly to Jayhawk bedding, there is a gift for everyone.
Bob Torongo, Chicago senior, said he usually buys KU gifts for his family.
"This year I'm going to buy my grandma a KU piggy bank," Torongo said. "Last year I bought her a crystal Jayhawk, and she loved it."
Christmas classics endure
Edited by Sara Nutt
Even with new holiday movies out every year, people can't steer away from the classics. People turn to old movies, which have left a lasting impression and remind them of their childhood.
"They make me feel like a kid again when I had nothing to worry about," said Megan Crocker, Leawed senior.

Holiday Guide
Even before Halloween hits, merchants target Christmas shoppers
SALE
A sea of seasonal gifts lines the shelves of Kohl's, 3240 Iowa St. Retail stores often begin promoting Christmas merchandise in October to lure shoppers weeks before the December holiday. Photo by Melissa Carr/KANSAN
By Brandon Stinnett Special to the Kansan
Each year, the Christmas season arrives a little bit earlier, and for good reason - retail stores want it that way.
Kenny Biley, co-manager at Wal-Mart,
3300 Iowa St., said retail stores roll out Christmas merchandise earlier every year in an attempt to lure shoppers into the Christmas spirit.
In the past, the Christmas shopping season began at Thanksgiving. But now stores are having Christmas sales before Halloween.
"If you get it out early in the customers they will buy it," Biley said. "If you think about it, getting it out just gets customers in the Christmas spirit early."
Biley said Wal-Mart featured its "early set" of Christmas items, such as yard art and window decorations. The store put out the rest of its holiday merchandise, such as Christmas trees, the day after
Thanksgiving.
The early-arriving Christmas season doesn't bother Bryan Lisbona, Shawnee junior. Lisbona, who works at Kohl's.
Department Store, 3240 Iowa St., welcomed an early start to Christmas.
"It's a joyous time," Lisbona said. "I'm glad it goes on for more than just one day
of the year."
the year Lisbona said Kohl's replaced Halloween merchandise with Christmas items during mid-October.
Lisbona said he had seen the same trend with students on campus.
"I've already seen students walking around here wearing Santa Claus hats," Lisbona said.
"It gets people feeling like they should be doing something Christmasy," Post said.
Jill Post, Westmoreland freshman, said she thought the Christmas season officially began once Wal-Mart set up its Christmas aisle.
Post said some people used shopping to take the place of more traditional Christmas activities.
"I think it depends on the person," she said. "Some people are caught up with the materialistic side of Christmas and some people still have the traditional Christmas."
Post said she wished the Christmas season began after Thanksgiving. She said people would have more appreciation for the individual significance of both of the holidays.

Jolly holiday spirit depresses some students
By Katie Teske
Special to the Kansan
Some students look to the holidays with euphoria, but others dwell at the other end of the spectrum in depression.
day depression Wade said that unrealistic expectations were the main cause for depression around the holidays.
Seasonal depression is not related to seasonal affective disorder, which is caused by lack of sunlight, said John Wade, staff psychologist for Counseling and Psychological Services at Watkins Memorial Health Center. However, because Thanksgiving and Christmas are during the winter months when there is less light, seasonal affective disorder may coincide with holiday depression.
"There is so much build-up around the holidays," he said. When the time actually comes, it may not live up to students' expectations, he said.
Joug Witt, clinical director for the Lawrence Bert Nash Community Mental Health Center, said that people see on television how others celebrate the holidays and they compare it to how they celebrate. If it's different, they feel as if something is wrong.
Witt said that people who have problems with traditional ceremonies because of religious or personal reasons have another option: They can build their own tradition. That way, they feel involved in the celebrations but don't have to participate in things that make them uncomfortable.
Holidays can be painful for people who can't afford the material things or can't travel, Witt said. They think they need to have or do certain things to celebrate, such as volunteering.
Wade said people should make a conscious decision not to stress out. Keeping a normal routine and getting plenty of rest and exercise helps reduce stress.

Some students, such as Robin Mendoza,
Leavenworth junior, don't enjoy the holidays because they associate them with bad events. She said she hasn't enjoyed the holidays since she was about 10 years old.
Mendoza's uncle died last year on Thanksgiving, and her stepfather left on Christmas.
"Anniversary dates of a death are usually
more difficult," Wade said. "Especially if it's a more recent death."
Witt said students who associated holidays with negative events could try to build in a positive event each year.
Anxiety about seeing families also can cause strain. Students may be able to escape family problems when they leave for college, Wade said, but they will have to face them when they return home for the holidays.
Free time is another reason for seasonal depression, Wade said. Students who are leaving friends to go home and who have a lot of extra time can be depressed, so they should try to keep busy.
Along with feeling blue during the holidays, the period following a break can be depressing. Wade said it was helpful for students to plan some activity when they got back because people often experienced a letdown after a big event.

Offices get chilly, staffers take break during winter recess
Special to the Kansan
Bv Travis Reed
Every semester, jubilant students bolt out the door from their last finals, intoxicated with relief and brimming with schemes of how they will spend their long-anticipated winter break.
But many students may not realize that life goes on at the University of Kansas In their absence. Most offices on campus stay open during winter break, and staff members aren't uniformly afforded the same respite as students. They have to use vacation time if they want a lengthy winter break. Additionally, spikes in natural gas prices that have clamped campus thermostats may persuade faculty and graduate teaching assistants to do more work at home this year than at the office.

"What's new is that we're dropping the temperature in buildings where we can, where we know they won't be occupied," Johnson said.
In accordance with new cost-cutting measures, the temperature will be kicked down to 65 degrees from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., and to 55 degrees after 5 p.m. and on weekends.
sale in those buildings Johnson said most employees won't be affected by the change, as they plan to use vacation time during winter break.
"We make it a practice not to impose on individual employees by saying they have to take vacation time, because there's always something that needs to be done." Johnson said.
"It's a big charge to the end of semester, not only for faculty and GTAs, but also for support staff. Most people really welcome that opportunity to have some time for their families," she said.
Lynn George, the University's employment manager for human resources, said each year a handful of employees who don't want to use vacation time are temporarily assigned to other offices for work during break. For example, the libraries typically have a lot of books to repair and reshelve, and could use extra help, she said. Or employees may be placed in offices where staff is limited or where there is a special project to complete.

Holiday Guide Kwanzaa a time to reaffirm values
By Luke Wetzel Special to the Kansan
Although Christmas, Hanukkah and Ramadan might be restricted to members of specific religions, the principles of Kwanzaa — a traditionally African-American celebration — are open to everyone.
Multicultural Affairs. "Family values are open to everyone. Kwanzaa is just the way African Americans celebrate these values."
Some KU students this year plan to educate others about Kwanzaa, as well as celebrate it themselves.
Kwanzaa, which means "first fruits" in Swahili, was created in 1966 by Maulana Karenga, chairman of Black studies at California State University, as a time of reaffirming values for African-American people. The celebration, which follows seven guiding principles, is held each year from Dec. 26 to Jan. 1.
"It's just a celebration of the family," said Robert Page, director of
Amber Sellers, Wichita sophomore, and her immediate family began celebrating Kwanzaa five years ago. A different member of the family cooks dinner each of the seven nights. After dinner, they talk about how to better themselves and their community.
"My mom thought it would be more of a learning experience," Sellers said. "There's more to life at the end of the year than getting gifts."
Her family's observations include lighting the seven candles of the kinara the traditional candle holder they made by hand as well as making small gifts like baskets and jewelry. But Sellers said the most important aspect of Kwanzaa
was growth as a person.
"Going through the seven days and principles helps you learn about yourself and yourself in the community," she said. "You have to be willing to follow the principles. If not, it doesn't do any good to celebrate Kwanzaa. You take what you learn in those seven days and refer back to them and how they reflect on yourself."
Page said he thought Kwanzaa had evolved from a celebration into a study of principles. When he worked at Arizona State University, Page attended a Black Greek conference led by Karenga that focused on the principles of Kwanzaa.
"It was started as a celebration thing, and now it's more about using the principles," he said. "But it's still a celebration."
Alberta Wright, assistant director of Multicultural Affairs, said she
naud learned about Kwanzaa in the late '70s when she worked in the office of African studies. Although neither she nor Page follow the traditional celebration of Kwanzaa, they follow the principles.
Wright writes the principles on her day planner in order to read and reaffirm them. In the past, she has worn ethnic clothing. She is now discussing Kwanzaa in an online discussion with people across the country. She has sent the principles of Kwanzaa to members of the group, asking them to list them in their own languages.
Wright said a unique aspect of Kwanzaa was that there was no dictated way to observe it.
"It helps us name ourselves,
define oursels, create for oursels and speak for oursels," she said.
Christmas hype overshadows other traditions
Edited by Erin McDaniel
Bv Maaaie Koerth
Kansan correspondent
You can hear it in popular carols like "Silent Night." It pops up in the giant, plastic, light-up nativity scenes that grace many lawns. Even Santa Claus draws his origins from it.
The Christian story of the birth of Jesus and Christmas, the holiday that story created, permeate almost every aspect of American pop culture throughout the months of November and December.
Because of the amount of publicity it gets, one might find it easy to imagine Christmas is the only holiday celebrated this time of year. This is far from the truth.
Both Islam and Judaism, two other major monotheistic religions, have important holidays in December and many less mainstream religions also have reasons to celebrate.
"I think it has more of an effect on you as a child," said Asma Rehman, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore. "Christmas is made out to be so big
and the event of the year, as a child one cannot understand why your parents won't let you take part in this beautiful holiday."
beautiful holiday.
Rehman is a practicing Muslim who celebrates a month-long holiday called Ramadan. Instead of agonizing over gift-giving, Rehman spends her December fasting and giving thanks for the blessings of the previous year. This year, the end of Ramadan will mark the beginning of a biannual holiday called Eid, which celebrates the end of the fasting with the slaughter of a sheep. The meat from the sheep is then split between the poor, the family and their friends.
While Rehman accepts other people's right to practice their own religions, she is offended by how easily her own is overlooked.
"Eastern culture tends to get looked at as something strange and weird," she said. "People don't even try to find out what is behind the traditions."
C. Kai Au, a recent KU graduate, is a Shamanistic Tibetan Buddhist whose parents moved to the United States from Hong Kong. Both of Au's parents are influenced by predominately Christian backgrounds, even though they are not practicing Christians.
"My parents think it's odd. They think that it isn't Chinese." Au said. "They don't understand why I don't want to celebrate such a materialistic holiday like Christmas."
Rehman celebrates Ramadan with her family, but some students don't have this luxury.
Rather than buy into Christmas — which Au sees as having lost all meaning under a pile of pointless gifts
— he chooses to celebrate the Winter Solstice.
He celebrates the holiday by giving thanks to Yamaraja, the god of the underworld, truth and social justice.
He said he continually ran into conflict because of between his values and beliefs.
Scott McKenzie, a Salina sophomore, said he participated in his family's Catholic-based Christmas activities even though he himself was "mostly atheist."
"My friends are the 'reason for the season' to me," he said. "I am thankful for what I have, but I got it. It wasn't 'given' to me."
McKenzie said he went along with the Christmas celebrations because it was tradition and because it was the best way to connect with his family and friends during the holidays.
Rehman, Au and McKenzie all agreed more exposure was needed for holidays other than Christmas. Rehman and McKenzie said they thought schools needed to give more attention to non-Christian traditions.
They want to change the way that society looks at them and their holidays, but they said they understood how much work such changes will take.
"The religious history of this country is rooted in Protestantism," Au said. "It's understandable that it's hard for such a culture to incorporate my views. But enlightenment is up to the person. If they don't choose to understand, then that's OK with me." — Edited by Casey Franklin

Big 12 Basketball Texas teams on a roll early this season
Bv Chris Wristen
By Chris Wristen
sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
Of the four Texas schools that help form the Big 12 Conference, only the University of Texas has finished a basketball season in the upper half of the conference standings, but that could change this year.
Texas is on the verge of cracking the Associated Press Top 25 and is ranked 25th in the coaches' poll after its 90-60 branding of Southwest Texas State on Saturday night. Junior transfer Maurice Evans, a former Wichita State Shocker, scored 21 points and helped the Longhorns improve to 5-1. Junior forward Chris Owens added 20 points.
The upstart Baylor Bears moved to 4-1 with a 54-51 victory against Arkansas-Little Rock. Baylor coach Dave Bliss said that although his team didn't beat a top-note opponent, he still considered it a big game.
"There are a lot of Duke-Illinois games out there, but I thought that was a great college basketball game," Bliss said. "Little Rock real-

by gave us a handful, and we were fortunate to walk out of there with a victory."
Senior guard DeMarcus Minor hit a 10foot jump shot with 35 seconds left, putting the Bears ahead by two. Junior forward Greg Davis tacked on a free throw, iceing the victory.
Texas A&M (3-3) lost 107-106 to Virginia Commonwealth in a double-overtime thriller Sunday but clobbered Lamar 83-60 last night. In the first game, Commonwealth led by 10 with less than a minute remaining when A&M caught fire from behind the three-point arc. The Aggies drained four straight 3-pointers, but the Rams sealed the game with free throws. A&M sophomore guard Bernard King
Texas Tech also won a 54-51 game Saturday, beating Stephen F. Austin. But the Red Raiders lost to Texas-El Paso 81-80 last night and fell to 3-2.
led the Aggies both nights, with 22 points Sunday and 30 points last night.
Oklahoma State went to overtime but pulled away from UNLV 77-66 and stands at 3-0. The Cowboys blew a 13-point lead, partially because of their 25 turnovers. Regardless, sophomore forward Andre Williams opened overtime with a steal and layup that sparked an 8-0 run.
In state counterpart No. 14 Oklahoma fell to Mississippi 60-55 on Saturday and is 5-1.
Iowa State returned to the AP poll at No. 25 for the first time since last season after the Cyclones' 69-67 squeaker against Southern Mississippi on Saturday. Iowa State fell into a 10-point hole early before charging back and taking the lead. They had less trouble last night, as they easily beat Tennessee Tech 89-74.
Missouri, Kansas State and Colorado, have all been involved in blowouts.
Kansas State (2-3) lost 76-56 in a bruising at the hands of No. 9 Illinois Saturday and then again last night 60-46 at the hands of Mississippi.
Colorado (4-2) exploded on offense, including
shooting 59 percent in the first half, and ran away with a 119-75 stampede of Texas-Arlington on Sunday. Freshman guard Justin Harbert led the Buffaloes with 18 points and junior guard D.J. Harrison chipped in 16. Senior forward Jahmal Mosley added 14 points.
Nebraska was not so lucky, finding itself on the losing end of a tight game. The Cormshusters lost 52-51 to Pittsburgh and fell to 2-2. In the final minute, senior center Kimiani Friend and senior guard Cookie Belcher each missed shots. Regardless, first-year coach Barry Collier said he was proud of the way his team competed.
Missouri (4-1) also ran away with a victory, beating Texas-Pan American 78-57 on Saturday. Sophomore forward Kareem Rush scored in double digits for the 23rd straight game, finishing with 19 points, and senior center Taldeen Soyove added 15.
"I was proud of our ability to hang in there and give ourselves a real chance," Collier said.

Women's teams rattle off nonconference wins
By Rebecca Barlow

Kansan sportswriter
Several Big 12 Conference women's basketball teams are off to a fast start this season.
Colorado, coming off an 88-65 win against UCLA, leads the conference with a 5-0 record.
Caroline Koechlin, junior guard, has helped the Buffaloes with scoring and rebounding this season. She led the team with 18 points and eight assists against UCLA.
Britt Hartshorn has also made her presence known on the court. She showed UCLA exactly what she could do by scoring 15 points and grabbing 10 rebounds against the Bruins. Colorado will see its first
conference game Wednesday, Jan. 3 against Kansas State.
Iowa State follows closely behind Colorado and Texas A&M with a 40 record. In the preseason, the Cyclones were picked by the league coaches and media to win the Big 12.
Iowa State was also honored by having a player named preseason conference player of the year. Angie Welle, junior center, has shown opponents why she was recognized for her athletic ability. Welle is averaging a double-double after four games this season, with 19.5 points per game and 11.8 rebounds.
Her teammate Tracy Gahan, junior guard, joins Welle in having a double-double average with 14
points per game and 11 rebounds
Cyclones coach Bill Fennelly said he was pleased with the way the team had started its season.
"So far, we are like a lot of teams. We are trying to find our game
Fennelly said. "It has been pretty good. We are healthy, and I am pleased with where we are right now."

Coach Paul Sanderford said that the team's level of competition would not increase when it started Big 12 play since the schedule was already competitive.
"We play a gunshot nonleague schedule." Sanderford said. "I
expect the same level of competition in the Big 12. By playing the better teams early, it helps us compete in the Big 12."
The Jayhawks' top rivals, Missouri and Kansas State, have started their seasons 5-1 and 6-1.
The Tigers won the Lady Tiger Classic 89-69 against San Diego State. Their only loss was a one-point heartbreaker to Peppardine. Coach Cindy Stein reached her 100th career victory this season.
The Wildcats won the Commerce Bank Wildcat Classic this weekend, and Kim Woodle, senior guard, was named the Most Valuable Player. They won again last night 98-81 against Western Michigan.

Bum ankle may prevent Boschee from playing

Boschee's playing time could open up more minutes for Kinsey, who missed the Jayhawks' games against Washburn and Middle Tennessee State while he recovered from leg surgery. Williams said Boschee's injury had led to more practice time this week for Kinsey.

"He's getting a lot more minutes, but it's out of necessity, since there's no one else," Williams said. "I'd like it to be a situation where we limited everybody. But we just don't have enough of those people who are going to play."
Bosncee's injury also could add to the minutes that sophomore guard Kirk Hinrich will play tomorrow. Hinrich said he was ready to play the entire game — and possibly some time at the shooting guard position
If the skim can do it.
"If that's the case, then I think that I can handle it," Hinrich said. "I might even be playing a little two (position) if Mario is in there. It might feel a little different, but I think I can play the whole game."

It's probably Ryan's best work. As in The Doors and When a Man Loves a Woman, she has impressive dramatic range.

The biggest scene stealer may be the scenery. Despite the plot-driven horrors taking place around each cloud-enshrouded peak, lush valley and gorgeous ravine, the film should do more for Ecuador's tourist trade than a roomful of Frommer guides.
and with the increasingly
So how well does the starry-eyed twosome handle on-screen amour? Crowe and Ryan acquit themselves with panache. Since they have minimal physical contact, each depends on gestures and glances to convey hints of passion. Together, they smolder.
The film's real hook is its fact-based exploration of the kidnapping of Western executives in third-world countries for huge ransoms. As such, Tony Gilroy's intelligent screenplay is utterly credible and totally terrifying.
Does anyone actually care where acting stopped and real-life romance took over for Meg Ryan and Russell Crowe on the Proof of Life set?

Movie review Crowe, Ryan deliver passion in Proof of Life

gent screenplay is utterly creatively all. All is not well between upright engineer Peter Bowman (David Morse) and his corporate-hating wife, Alice (Ryan). They've recently moved to a fictional, Colombia-like country so he can build an oil company's dam while she grudgingly plays housewife.
One vow-testing argument later, he speeds off to the construction site but gets captured in a roadside ambush by leftist guerrillas. Enter no-nonsense negotiator Terry Thorne (Crowe), with his own psychological baggage. He initiates a series of mind games with the revolutionaries and with the increasingly cynical Alice.

Haskell adapts to new division Broncos surging after poor star
Bv Matt Small
Special to the Kansan
Haskell Indian Nations University's athletic programs are finding it hard to compete after moving to a more challenging division of play.
In September 1999, Haskell transferred from the National Junior College Athletic Association to the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. The move not only made Haskell a four-year university, but it also stepped up the level of competition for every athlete at Haskell.
"When you move from a junior college to a four-year school, you expect to have a four- or five-year span to pass before you can become competitive within that level," said Al Gipp, men's basketball coach. "You know going in that you are going to struggle the first couple of seasons, but as a coach and a player, you always welcome the challenge of facing better competition."
For a team that is 0-10 this season, Gipp said he and his players had to find positive points to focus on.
"We want to make sure that we are highly competitive for five minutes at a time." Gipp said. "If your kids are out there playing hard and competing, you cannot get too disappointed. We may have lost to Baker by 30 points, but for a seven-minute span in the second half, we outplayed their guys and held them to two points. Those are the types of things you have to focus on when you are a team struggling-with this situation."
For Haskell coaches, not only did the competition become harder but also the recruiting and coaching.
Along with retaining his players, Tanner said one of the hardest adjustments was whom he recruited and how.
"When you are an NJCAA Division II program, you have a lot more freedom to bring kids into the program and get them eligible to play," said football coach Gary
Tanner. "There are no real entrance eligibility guidelines, but when you move into the NAIA, you find that the eligibility requirements are set in stone, and there are no loop holes. Either you qualify or you don't."
Gipp and Tanner agreed that adapting to these changes took time.
Tanner said that getting into a conference and retaining players were the keys to the football team's success.
"When you are an independent school, you almost have to go undefeated in order to make the playoffs, and you have to play a lot of the top 10 teams," Tanner said. "You find that the more competitive teams don't want to play you if you are a threat. That all changes when you get into a conference and play against set competition for postseason berths, but right now our biggest obstacle is keeping our players and developing a veteran-led team."

for Sunday's game against the team.
"Everybody's got to perform at a certain level because you can't afford those setbacks, and so far we've been doing it. ... Who would have ever envisioned that this would be the scenario right now?"
A loss to previously winless Cincinnati dropped the Broncos to 4-4 at the midway point, and Brian Griese's drunken-driving arrest during the bye week only added to the embarrassment.
sided that his weakness Certainly not anyone who saw Bengals running back Corey Dillon run for an NFL-record 278 yards Oct. 22.
Five weeks and five victories later, Denver has resuscitated its once-sinking season and is making a playoff charge behind a backup quarterback, a backup running back and its always-steady offensive line.
"When you get to a point like we were, you don't have a chance to stub your toes anymore," coach Mike Shanahan said this week as Denver prepared for Sunday's game against the Seattle Seahawks.
Oct. 22. The superlative one-man performance left Denver (9-4) stunned and prompted critics to write an early season epitaph for a team hoping to recapture its status among the league's elite.

Heupel's past powers remarkable rise

Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman Trophy hopeful Josh Heupel launches a pass over Kansas defensive end Demond Bennett. The Sooners defeated the Jayhawks 34-16 Sept. 30 at Oklahoma. Kansan file photo
The Associated Press
NORMAN, Okla. — Josh Heupless was about 5 when he first asked to join his dad at the office to watch game film.
"Most kids, when you bring 'em, they're fooling around or drawing on the board. He was right in the middle of the coaches."
"I said, 'If you come and you mess around, that'll be the last time you do it,'" said Ken Heupel, then an assistant coach at Northern State University in Aberdeen, S.D.
It wouldn't be the last time Josh Heupel made an impression in a film room. On his recruiting trip to Oklahoma in December 1998, he spent seven hours watching tapes of the Sooners' offense, which he now runs so well he could win the Heisman Trophy on Saturday.
Heupel threw for 3,400 yards and 30 touchdowns last year. But as this season began, he was generally considered the third-best quarterback in the Big 12, behind Major Applewhite of Texas and Eric Crouch of Nebraska.
He's now considered one of the nation's best.
"Josh is the heart of this team," coach Bob Stoops said after his top-ranked Sooners beat Kansas State in the Big 12 championship game.
"He doesn't like to hear that or doesn't want me to say that. But I don't know if anyone else has had the road that we've had, played the games that we have, and come out undefeated. We've more than earned our way, and he's THE factor."
Heupel threw for 3,392 yards and
20 touchdowns in Oklahoma's 12
games, and was most impressive
when most was at stake.
During a three-game stretch in October when the Sooners beat Texas, Kansas State and Nebraska to move to No. 1, Heupel was 66-of-108 for 1,049 yards, four touchdowns and just one interception.
HEISMAN CANDIDATES:
Drew Brees, QB, Purdue
Drew Brees, QB, Purdue
Josh Heupel, QB, Oklahoma
LaDanian Tomlinson, RB, Texas
Christian
Chris Weinke, QB, Florida State
The winner will be announced by the Downtown Athletic Club Saturday in New York.
He was intercepted twice in each of the final three games of the regular season. But he rallied his team in the fourth quarter to beat Texas A&M and led a clinching drive in the fourth quarter of a victory against Texas Tech.
Heupel was intercepted three times in the Big 12 championship game. He also threw two touchdown passes, ran for a score and used an option pitch to convert a critical fourth down that led to the go-ahead touchdown.
"He's been doing that all year," said quarterbacks coach Chuck Long, once a Heisman runner-up. "He played exceptionally well in the middle of the year. During the course of a season, though, you're going to get some bumps in a road.
"He made the plays when he had to, and that's the sign of a great quarterback."
When he joined his father at work, which was often, Josh
would throw to the receivers, or act as the option quarterback for his dad's defense.
When Josh Heupel practiced on teams with kids his own age, he routinely left his mother waiting longer than all the other moms.
She still waits for him. Cindy Heupel hasn't missed any of her son's games, home or away, in the past two years. Never mind that it's roughly 800 miles from the family house in Aberdeen to Norman.
Her husband, now head coach at Northern State, also travels to see his son play, even though he has to miss some of his own team's games.

Towers may prohibit smoking
By Vanessa Sincock Special to the Kansan
If it passes, a Jayhawker Towers ant-smoking resolution set for a vote on Sunday could mean a reorganization of the Towers community as soon as next fall.
The Jayhawker Towers Tenants Association is planning to vote on a resolution to make one or more of the Towers smoke-free. It might ban smoking in the entire complex.
"The Towers' front desk and central
housing receive complaints about smoking in the Towers," said Omega Tadesse, Ethiopia junior and JTTA President. "Residents often call the front desk complaining about their allergies."
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said recently that JTTA could make the recommendation for one or more of the Towers to become non-smoking to the Student Housing Advisory Board. Then it's up to the board — composed of three faculty, three University staff members and five students — to make the final decision.
"Kansas State University has banned smoking from all the traditional residence halls effective in fall 2001." Stoner said.
Currently, the University has a no-smoking policy in all the scholarship halls, as well as Templin, Lewis and Ellsworth halls. The Association of University Residence Halls is considering adding more halls to this list, Stoner said.
Towers residents may not have much time to voice their opposition or support. Fliers distributed by the JTTA that read
"What about smoking in the Towers? Your right to smoke and/or your right to breathe clean air is at risk!!!" were slipped under residents' doors yesterday morning. But the future atmosphere of the Jayhawker Towers could be altered within the next week.
What makes the smoking ban problematic at the Towers is that a partial ban would upset the way residents traditionally have

Father, daughter find quality time in school
By Brooke Hesler
Special to the Kansas
There was a time when Tim Lietzen helped his daughter, Emily, with her math homework. But roles were reversed this year when Emily Lietzen taught her father's civil engineering survey lab.
"It was hard," said Tim, 50, of having his daughter as his teacher. "At first it was a little embarrassing, but it turned out all right."
Emily, 20, is not actually the teaching assistant for the lab that Tim is enrolled in. However, during the first six weeks of the semester, she sat in on Tim's lab and even substituted several times.
"The chair of the engineering department was upset that I wasn't going to be his real TA," Emily said. "He thought I could get back at him for all the things he did when I was growing up, but actually there was nothing to get back at him for. He was a good dad. Both of my parents were great."
Tim and Emily, both are Kansas City, Kan., juniors.
which means they will graduate together with undergraduate degrees in civil engineering.
Although the pair will share the same graduation date, Emily said they probably wouldn't walk down the Hill.
"I don't put a lot of stock into ceremony," she said. "Neither does he. Actually, I think I probably get it from him."
Although Emily has been supportive of her father all along, she made it clear from the beginning that she wanted her space at school. Before school started this fall, Emily told her father he couldn't sit by her in class.
"I wanted him to make friends of his own," she said. "When we're together, we talk too much anyways."
Hustan Herrington, Kansas City Kansas Community College student and friend of the family, said the two talked a lot because they were close.

Students say short break is bothersome
By Kursten Phelps

Kansan staff writer
J. T. Gertken wants a little more time to enjoy the Brazilian sunshine during winter break.
The Hutchinson senior said this year's 25-day vacation from classes was barely enough time to be able to travel and enjoy himself before the spring semester starts Tuesday, Jan. 16.
"I'm going to have to rush back here right around the time classes start, which makes it hard to beat the holiday traveling rush." Gertken said. "It's hard for the average student trying to
travel cheaply."

Richard Morrell, University registrar, said a calendar committee determined each academic year's calendar. The calendar must be constructed to include at least 75 instructional days per semester and at least five days of final examinations. he said.
"We try to figure out how late in August we can start and still get done in a reasonable time in December." Morrell said. "Our concern when we get to scheduling the fall semester is more when to start in August than how long winter break will be."
Jennifer Lissondra, Overland Park senior, said winter break should be longer to accommodate an intercession. A six-week break, she said, would give students a chance to study abroad or do an internship between the fall and spring semesters.
"I was thinking about doing the photography in Nepal study abroad program," Lisondra said, "But it's so short that it doesn't seem like you get your money's worth."
samantha Billingley, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said this year's vacation seemed significantly shorter than those in previous years.
"I guess stop day does seem kind of late," she said. "I'm just going to work over break, so I guess a shorter break will mean less money."
Shulenburger said when fall break was implemented next year, final examinations would run Monday through Friday, but the duration of winter break would not be affected.

University hopes to provide off-campus Internet service
Bv Jason Kraill
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
By Jason Krall writer@kansan.com
The University is looking into offering its own service to students. The service could offer direct access to the KU library network, course availability during enrollment and other resources as though the computer were wired directly to the KU network from an on-campus computer lab. An e-mail sent last week to all KU dial-in account customers to
Students living off campus soon may have a new choice for a high-speed Internet service provider the University of Kansas.
The University now offers only dial-up connections through telephone lines for $70 per year. An additional $10 to $30 fee is assessed for users who exceed 70 hours of use each month.
gauge interest in higher-speed service said it would cost between $35 and $40 per month and would require a contract for at least nine months — $315 to $360 for nine months or $420 to $480 for a year.
Some off-campus landlords and housing complexes offer high-bandwidth Internet connections for an additional fee. Some administrators said attempting to wire those students off-campus who didn't have
cable modems, digital subscriber lines (DSL) or other high-speed lines would be too costly. However, they do want to offer an Internet service to deliver through cables owned by other companies as early as next year.
John Louis, director of networking and telecommunications services, said the service might allow KU students to share files through a network much as they do in campus housing. The service would only be available to students who already have a high-speed line.
"To the person at home, the way the configuration comes up on the computer would be very similar to a
networking software," Louis said. "The greatest value is going to be in having the KU environment wrapped around you. That will probably be what draws people."
Louis said NTS wanted to have the service up some time next year. However, the project's start-up costs could prove too great.
"It looks really good right up until you start looking at the cost," Louis said. "We still have a lot of details to work out yet."
In the long run, however, the option could be cheaper for students off-campus than dial-up connections. As telephone-based 56K modems grow slower because of more massive download sizes and more complex Web sites, students pay their phone company for more minutes using their dial-up connections, Louis said. Home cable modem hookups with Internet service can cost between $30 and $60 per month.
- Edited by Shawn Hutchinson
Chris Eckert, Topeka senior, has a DSL connection where he lives offcampus. He said he'd be interested in linking to the KU network from home but said he also was stuck in a contract for Internet service through Southwestern Bell. Some students might not be able to switch because they may be locked into contracts for months at a time, Eckert said.
What's happening: University administrators hope to provide an Internet service that would allow students off campus with high-speed connection lines to connect to the KU network.
INTERNET PROPOSAL
What it means: Students off campus with cable modem or digital subscriber lines (DSL) would be able to log onto the KU network for file sharing, library databases and other resources as though they were working from an on-campus computer.
**Virgin's next:** Networking and Telecommunications Services wants to produce the service by next year, but costs to develop the service could prove too high.

Iraqi children's advocate to speak at KU tonight
The co-founder of a Chicago-based group that advocates the end of United Nations and United States sanctions against Iraq, Voices in the Wilderness, will speak at 8 p.m. tonight at Ecumenical Christian Ministries. 1204 Oread Ave.
Kathy Kelly helped initiate Voices in the Wilderness in January 1996. The organization claim the sanctions hurt Iraq children, not the country's government, headed by dictator Saddam Hussein.
Since its inception, Voices in the Wilderness has donated toys and medicine to Iraqi children.
ECM, Amnesty International and the Lawrence Coalition for Peace and Justice are sponsoring the event.

Bush says he realizes Gore's election position
George W. Bush says he can feel Al Gore's pain and won't press him to concede defeat in their overtime struggle for the White House.
The vice president suggested he might fight on even if he loses a high-stakes appeal at the Florida Supreme Court.
"I can understand his anguish." Bush, the almost-president-elect, said Tuesday of his rival for the White House.
For his part, Gore told reporters, "I don't feel anything other than optimistic" while awaiting a state high court decision on his appeal of a trial court ruling earlier in the week.
He stopped well short of saying he would quit if he lost.
Florida Supreme Court to hear Gore's appeal
TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — With time running out in Florida to pick a president, the state's highest court agreed to immediately consider Al Gore's appeal of a ruling rejecting all of his election protests.
The Florida Supreme Court said lawyers could argue the case this morning, and only then would it decide whether it should rule on the matter at all and, if so, what it should say.
gore's case challenges Bush's 537-vote lead, a silver of the 6 million votes cast in the pivotal state. His appeal takes on urgency because Florida's electoral votes must be established by a Dec. 12 deadline. Circuit Judge N. Sanders Sauls on Monday spurned Gore's arguments.
Same-sex couple finds way to marry in church
In a twist on the traditional wedding ceremony, couples at the Broadway United Methodist Church in Chicago exchange vows at a ceremony with friends and family outside of church and then return to the church to celebrate their unions, the Rev. Gregory Dell said Tuesday.
CHICAGO — A Methodist minister suspended last year after presiding over same-sex marriages said church law allowed for such unions — if they took place outside of the church.
Colorectal cancer linked to excessive tobacco use
All weddings at the church now are conducted in the same manner as ceremonies for both heterosexual and homosexual ceremonies based on a policy adopted Sept. 12.
WASHINGTON — Smoking cigarettes for 20 years or more can increase by more than 40 percent the risk of dying of colorectal cancer, according to a study that blames tobacco use for nearly one in eight such deaths in the United States
A team of American Cancer Society researchers reported yesterday in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute that a study of 781,351 people during 14 years showed a strong statistical linkage between cigarettes and death from colon or rectal cancer.
Human rights group calls for inquiry into violence
WORLD
JERUSALEM — Israeli troops have used excessive force in dispersing Palestinian demonstrators, an Israeli human rights group said in a new report yesterday, calling for a commission of inquiry into the violence.
Israel's tentatively scheduled spring elections, meanwhile, were called into question as the government and religious parties wrangled about the mandatory drafting of Jewish seminary students.
Late Tuesday, Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak met with opposition leader Ariel Sharon.
Both sides said the two talked about Israeli-Palestinian fighting, not about politics.
Army says chief of staff shouldn't testify in trial
THE HAQUE, Netherlands — Judges have agreed to hear U.S. arguments about why the army chief of staff cannot be ordered to testify before a U.N. war crimes tribunal about the detention of a Bosnian Serb suspect, officials said yesterday.
The tribunal on Oct. 18 summoned Army Chief Gen. Eric Sinkseki, former commander of the U.S. peacekeepers, to provide evidence in the Sept. 27, 1998, detention of Stevan Todorovic, but the United States protested against the subpoena.
The tribunal's five-judge appeals panel has scheduled a Jan. 10 hearing to consider protests filed by NATO, the United States and eight other countries, officials said.
Todorovic, a former prison camp commandant charged in the bloody "ethnic cleansing" of the northern Bosnian town of Bosanski Samac, claims he was detained illegally.

TOPEKA — Residents of Shawnee County can expect to receive a free video about Jesus Christ in the mail, just in time for Christmas 2001. A few months later, they'll be asked by telephone if they have seen the video and if they wish to become Christians.
Group to mail Jesus video
However, some religious leaders in Topeka expressed concern about mailing the video to all households, saying doing so doesn't take into consideration the religious preferences of others.
The Associated Press
Plans for the mass mailing were announced Tuesday by leaders of the Shawnee County Jesus Video Project, part of a California-based worldwide drive begun in 1992 as a ministry of Campus
In all, organizers expect to spend $250,000 to send the video — called Jesus — to 74,000 homes in Shawnee County. Churches, businesses and individuals are to fund the effort.

Rich O'Brian, chairman of the county project and station manager of Christian radio station KBUZ-FM, said the goal "is to bring people face to face with Jesus Christ."
"We think this video is a wonderful tool to do that" O'Brian said.
Organizers hope at least 40 churches in the Topeka area will take part, O'Brian said. So far, Baptist, Assemblies of God, the Worldwide Church of God and Nazarene congregations are on board.

Students juggle finals, moving out of halls

Kansan staff writer

Students living in residence halls and scholarship halls have more than just finals to worry about—they also have to pack their things and be out of their halls by 11 p.m. on Thursday, Dec. 21.
21. The first time the teacher To deal with this problem, students have to juggle studying and packing.
This will be a particular problem for students who have finals on Dec. 21, the last day finals are scheduled
Sarah Johnson, Mountain Home, Ark., junior, she would stay at a friend's apartment in Lawrence rather than drive home after her last final ends at 6 p.m. on Dec. 21. She said she had driven about 6 hours on the last night of finals in previous years.
"They should stay open until the next morning." she said.
Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said student housing closed the night of finals because students rarely stayed that last night.
"We used to do that, but there was nobody in the halls," he said.
Hillary Shike, Oberlin freshman, said the end of the semester was particularly stressful for her.
"I'm transferring at the end of the semester, so I have to get all my
stuff out." she said.
Shike said she was now packing some of the stuff she wouldn't need for the rest of the semester and would take some of it to her mother's house in Hutchinson.
Stoner estimated that less than a dozen students per semester have that problem.
Stoner said if some students had problems getting out by the designated date, the department would work out problems on an individual basis.
"It doesn't happen very often, but when it does happen, we work it out with them," he said.
Omaha, Neb., sophomore Crystal Asmussen's last final ends at 2:30 p.m. on Dec. 21. She said she would go home the weekend before she had to leave her scholarship hall and take as much with her as she could.
"I'll have to get a lot of packing done ahead of time," Assmussen said. "When I need a study break, I pack up more stuff."
Amsummer said it wasn't as much trouble packing things for winter break as it was for summer break.
for winter break, I don't take much home, but for spring it's a pain in the neck because you have to get everything out of there," she said.

Test anxiety can hurt students' performance
By Melissa Davis

Many students naturally experience nervousness while preparing for and taking tests especially finals.
especially in. While some nervousness can help motivate students, too much nervousness or test anxiety could hinder a student's performance.
Tony Treu, Kansas City, Mo., freshman, said he experienced test anxiety when taking calculus tests.
Treu said taking tests in college had increased his test anxiety because they were harder.
"Math test are different," he said. "Instead of covering chapter by chapter, you cover multiple chanters simultaneously."
John Wade, psychologist at Counseling and Psychological Services (CAPS), said anxiety before a test was normal, but that certain factors could increase anxiety.
"Anxiety is pretty typical among students," he said. "But not being prepared or feeling fatigued makes it easier for one to feel anxious in response to stress."
Wade said there were two dif-
ferent categories of test anxiety.
"You have the students that are not prepared or the people who, just in general, even if prepared, still feel anxious," he said.
treu falls into the second category.
He said he could study for hours for a test, but sometimes his mind would go blank just before it.
"I review my notes, even if I know everything," Treu said. "Even though I'm well-prepared,
BEFORE THE TEST
Be prepared.
Get a good night's sleep the night before the exam.
Approach the exam with confidence.
Don't go to the test on an empty stomach.
Allow yourself plenty of time to take the test.
Relax before the test, don't try last-minute cramming.
DURING THE TEST
DONING THE TEST Read the directions carefully.
■ If you go blank skip the question and go on.
If it's an essay test and you go blank, pick a question and start writing

Wade said there were ways to help overcome test anxiety.
some things just seem foreign, and I start to rush through things."
He suggested thoroughly preparing for tests, going into tests with a good attitude, getting a good night's sleep and trying to relax. Wade also suggested that students try talking positively to themselves.
Though some worry is normal, Wade said students should seek help if they experienced excessive anxiety — anxiety that could make them sick.
While Treu said he didn't get physically sick during tests, he said he sometimes did afterwards.
"I have felt sick when I received a test grade and it was bad," he said.

Union gets a Clinique makeover
By Meghan Bainum
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas students can get new looks along with their new books.
A Clinique makeup counter opened today in the KU Bookstore in the Kansas Union. The Clinique counter offers skin and haircare products along with makeup and men's bath products.
Although Steve Rhodes, merchandise manager at the bookstore, said men weren't breaking down the walls to get at the counter, several women had asked him when the Clinique products would go on sale.
students, and said students could get their on-campus beauty fix starting today.
Rhodes said he was happy with the quick response from
"I think they've got everything," Rhodes said. "There's soaps, outdoor sunscreen, lip stick, cosmetics, haircare — everything."
The slick white and silver display was still under construction yesterday afternoon, but different sizes of bottles and canisters lined the walls.
Molly Barker, Tulisa freshman, said she was excited that she could get her favorite makeup on-campus instead of having to trek down to Massachusetts Street.
"I go to Weaver's now," she said. "But if you're already on campus, it would be a lot more convenient to come to the Union."
Rhodes said convenience for students and faculty was one of the reasons the bookstore agreed to the display when Clinique approached them last summer.
Rhodes also said there were still job positions open to work at the Clinique counter. Students interested should apply at the Personnel office on level 5 of the Union.
"We're just hoping for good things to come from it," he said. "We hope the students and faculty both see it and like it."
Rhodes said Clinique had been opening counters in college bookstores across the country. He said there was one at the University of Missouri at Columbia that had been successful.
Some non-Clinique users, like Molly Fruetel, Ridgefield, Conn., freshman, said that because the counter was on campus, she would be tempted to go into the bookstore and see the display.
"I'd go there to look at it and probably buy something," she said. "I might go just to check it out."
But others, such as Erin Beatty, Denver sophomore, said even though the Clinique counter was close, she probably still wouldn't go.
"I don't go to the Union much, and I probably wouldn't want to get a makeover in front of all the students," she said. "I'll still just go to Target."

Music mentors, students head to D.C.
Special to the Kansan
Bv Debra Steele
Christie Garton had a vision.
The Olathe senior wanted to show under-
privileged children the power of music.
And a year after she started the Music Mentors Society, music will take some of the students involved in the program to the nation's capital.
Eight students and seven mentors will go to Washington, D.C. on Thursday, Dec. 28 to play background music at a holiday event at the White House. The program has been raising funds for this event and will fly to Washington on Wednesday, Dec. 27.
Garton said she wrote a letter to President Bill Clinton about Music Mentors because Clinton was a supporter of music education. Shortly after, Garton received an invitation to the White House.
"We are really excited about going to Washington." Garton said. "This is a big step for our program."
Music Mentors matches musicians at the University of Kansas with public school children who cannot afford private lessons. Garton started the program in the fall of 1999 because she had seen the positive results
music instruction had had in her life and wanted to bring that to every child with an interest and passion for music.
"I had the idea for Music Mentors my freshman year," Garton said. "I had done a lot of community service and found there weren't any programs that had music. Music Mentors is a unique program, there is nothing like it at any other universities."
Each mentor meets with his or her student for 30 minutes once a week. Students in kindergarten to ninth grade are mentored by 30 volunteers in technique, scales, class music and special projects.
the mentors, who must be enrolled at the University and have at least seven years' experience in instrument or vocal training, specialize in band or orchestra instruments, piano, guitar, percussion and vocals.
The mentors come from a variety of backgrounds, but the common thread connecting them is love and knowledge of an instrument or vocal part, Garton said.
"Kids really look up to the mentors." Garton said. "It gives them extra support and many of the students can see themselves attending college in the future."
Alice Ann Darrow, faculty adviser of Music
Mentors and director of music therapy, said the one-on-one practice helped individuals progress with their instruments. She said it taught them discipline and helped the students work toward their goals.
"I have seen a lot of dedicated KU students who have worked hard and helped these students progress with their music." Darrow said.
While they help the students, the mentors benefit from the extra practice, teaching experience and community service.
Carol Toland, Iola freshman, volunteers with Music Mentors. She plays piano, violin, mallet percussion and sings.
This semester she has been working with two students from Central Junior High, tutoring one in piano and the other in percussion.
Toland said that in the past she had worked with children in volunteer positions as well as teaching music lessons to adults. She was excited to find a program that allowed her to work with children and use music.
"It is really great to be exposed to the Lawrence school system and expand the musical opportunities that children have." Toland said.

Perspective Dirty butts from smokers litter campus
The turning color of autumn leaves the crisp air of a winter morning, the fresh blooms of spring tulips, the partially crumbling and recently smoked cigarette butts — they all add to the atmosphere here at our great university.
On a nice day, I like to take a break at Wescoe Beach and enjoy the weather. It's entertaining to watch the faces that smokers make as they exhale. With squinted eyes and twisted mouths, they cock their heads back and fashionably blow into the wind, as if to say, "It tastes good going in, but bad going out."
tastes good going in, but bad going out. I'm usually downwind to enjoy the leftovers.
---
Where does one learn the art of smoking? Maybe from the movies. Maybe from friends. One could become a professional smoker, obtaining the perfect exhale and cigarette-flicking abilities by learning and watching at Wescoe Beach. I sit and ponder how all these en vogue smokers came to be.
Jeremy Cates guest columnist geoniks@kansan.com
Here's one example
of how it happens: 15-year-old Sally goes to a high school party. Sally sees older friends casually puffing. Sally chokes at the opportunity to puff, too. Sally smokes on weekends (hiding from parents). Sally goes to the University of Kansas and is free now. Sally smokes as much as her little lungs desire. Her parents can't see her at Wescoe Beach. Sally is addicted. Sally graduates from the University. Sally gets a job at a corporation. It's not so cool to go out to the smoke shack every 10 minutes with the other addicts. Sally tries to quit but can't - until cancer quits for her.
can't—until cancer quits for her. It's a fine line between hopeless addiction and hopeful fashion. Along with admiring the smoking skills of the pros and amateurs at Wescoe, I like to try to distinguish between the two. Here are some observations and things to look for;
The huddled lighting session when a group of five to six fresh-faced students circle together simultaneously needing to smoke at the same time. One person in the circle lights all cigarettes poised between the puckered lips of the other participants.
The unconscious movement — usually a lone smoker. A clean, fluid movement of lighting, inhaling and exhaling can be observed. This pro is undaunted by wind and rain and can successfully cup, cover and light with one flick of the lighter.
This is all fine and dandy. Sally can make her own choices now, even to quit smoking. But when Sally chooses to flick her cigarette butt on the ground, allowing it to roll over and mingle with the hundreds of other butts instead of dropping it in the ash tray two feet away, that's when I have to step in and write this column that Sally probably isn't reading.
I invite everyone to take a stroll at Wescoe Beach or at the entrance of any building on campus and look down. You'll enjoy a great view of cigarette butts. I also invite you to walk up the Hill and climb four flights of stairs only to be greeted by a hotbox of cigarette smoke when you get to the top. I'm already winded enough as it is.
I could go on and on. I know, I'm gripping. I'll just leave you and, I hope, Sally with a little cliché-ish catch phrase: One small step for smokers (toward the ash tray), one giant leap for KU grounds.

Perspective
Election debacle fuels democratic learning
ballots held up to the light to determine a vote. People in the streets supporting their choice for president. States too close to call a month after the election. What a great time for the American democracy.
The 2009 presidential election is an excellent lesson in civics and American government. At no other time in recent history have we seen the democratic process work like this. The correct officials are presiding over the election controversy, whether they are Florida Secretary of
State Katherine Harris, the county canvassing boards or my new favorite judge, N. Sanders Sauls. And candidates who are pursuing legal challenges have the absolute legal right to do so.
To those who who criticize this process and are calling for an end to this, be patient. This is America at its finest. Each of the branches of government is performing its function. Please forgive the references to Political Science 101 or your high school government class, but it's true.
W. SMITH
erment classiesthe legislative branch (Congress, the state legislatures) made the election laws. The executive branch (secretaries of state, county canvassing boards) is enforcing the election laws, and when the laws come into question, they are interpreted by the courts. All in all, America has responded well to the election deadlock. There are no tanks in the streets, and no blood has been lost. While this may seem a ridiculous point to consider in United States, other nations are not so fortunate. We, the greatest nation in the world, are patiently waiting for the election results of our next president.

The girl finished her voting, submitted her ballot (no hanging chads here), and was ready to get on her way into school. Her dad, having just voted in the real election, asked her who she voted for. Her reply: "I'm not telling you, Daddy. It's my right to a secret ballot." Classic
This type of response indicates how important it is to educate younger brothers and sisters about this process. (In case you were wondering, the returns from my polling site were 48 percent for Gore/Lieberman, 48 percent for Bush/Cheney and four percent for Nader/LaDuke).
The nation stands to benefit from this election deadlock. I look forward to the concession speech more than the new president's inaugural address. Why? Whoever gives the concession speech will set the tone for how the nation will be under the new governance. The concession speech needs to be graceful and call for unity among this divided nation. With this speech, action will shortly follow. A near-even split in Congress will work together to achieve legislation that will benefit all Americans. The new president will be more humbled to be governing and will not tend to abuse his power.
Sure, we could be getting sick of the lawyers, the gavel-to-gavel coverage and constant bickering between the parties, but this is democracy in action.
No matter who you voted for or how you feel about the election deadlock, our democracy commands respect for our elected officials and the election process. After all channels have been exhausted (most likely later this week), we will have a legitimate president and vice president, and America will continue to grow after this historic month.

Editorial
Nation should comply with global treaty
The United States must take environmental action soon before it's too late.
Things are heating up on the international scene. The Kyoto Treaty on global climate change is stalled, and it looks as if it will be put off for an additional three years. As a nation, we should act decisively now and take the lead in greenhouse gas reduction — for our benefit and for the benefit of the entire world.
The Kyoto Treaty establishes emission reduction credits that can be traded and seeks to reduce carbon-dioxide emissions to 1900 levels.
Negotiations collapsed about whether to count forests as sinks for carbon dioxide, and, as a result, we've lost another opportunity to start solving one of our worst problems.
In the United States, our leaders are afraid that if we commit to emissions reduction it will harm our global competitiveness. After all, China and India do not have the same restrictions in the treaty, and they are exactly the nations we will have to compete with in the next 10 years.
years:
But in the long run, the Kyoto Treaty will boost the economy. Emissions reductions force companies to create more efficient technologies. Current fossil fuel use is wasteful. For example, 80 percent of the energy potential of a car engine is simply lost because of the internal combustion design.
More efficient technology will save money on fuel use, but the same technology also will be a commodity that we can trade with other nations. Germany leads the world in green technology, and it's a vital part of their national economy.
The best reason to commit to Kyoto is that we must take some environmental action before it is too late. Once carbon dioxide is in the upper atmosphere, it lingers for 100 years.
If we don't act fast, and internationally, we will lose the ability to substantially cut emissions before the impacts of global warming occur. We can either work to prevent global warming from happening now or find some way to live with it later.

Program sends graduates to teach at public schools
By Jennifer Valadez
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Laura Krebs said teaching for two years in a public New Orleans elementary school changed her life.
Krebs graduated from the University of Kansas in 1988 and began working with Teach For America the following summer. The program offers recent college graduates from all academic backgrounds the opportunity to teach at under-resourced public schools.
Krebs taught a fourth-through-sixth-grade special education class.
"It was very challenging at first and very rewarding toward the end," she said, "the Challenge was in the lack of resources, but the reward was in developing relationships with the students, being able to get to know them on individual levels and also seeing them achieve."
Kyle Waide, director of public relations, said Teach For America was a successful program in which more than 6,000 college graduates reached more than 1 million students.
"It offers recent college graduates a chance to make a difference in schools and carry leadership skills into whatever they do." Waide said.
He said the teachers had not only been successful in providing leadership but also in starting and securing incentive programs in the schools where they had worked.
"They are also evaluated very favorably by the principals who supervise them," he said.
Waide said 91 percent of principals rated the teachers positively, 92 percent said they would hire the teachers permanently and 96 percent said the teachers were very advantageous to schools.
education After two years of teaching, Krebs is a program director for Teach For America offices in New Orleans.
oer were very important.
"Beyond the success that members have had, they go on to be lifelong advocates for expanding opportunities for students who grow up in low-income communities," Waide said. "They continue to be successful teachers and administrators. The common thread that unites them is leading our country to a day when all children in the country can obtain an excellent education."
"Participating in a program like this shows you the way things really are and gives you an inside perspective," she said. "Most participants say it changes their lives, and I say that it has mine. I would encourage anyone that's even thinking about it to do it because you find out more about the world and yourself."
Krebs will come to the University to recruit students Thursday, Jan. 25, through Sunday, Jan. 28.

Engineering runs in family

"They're very talkative," Herrington said. "They really love talking about math, physics and anything that has to do with engineering."
Mario Medina, assistant professor, teaches strength of materials, one of the two classes the Lietzens are in together. He said the two were competitive with each other.
"They're both excellent students," Medina said. "They don't sit together in class, but after class, they talk to each other. They're very close."
Tim attended the University of Kansas in the 1970s along with his father, Walter. Although Tim and his father both were in the School of Journalism, they never shared classes. Therefore, Tim said he was a little surprised his daughter had no problems sharing classes with him.
"The normal reaction of a kid
would be. I'm going to kill myself," he said. "She was really supportive though."
But Emily has enjoyed it, for the most part.
"I was pretty excited," she said of her father's decision to go back to college. "That's not to say I haven't gotten annoyed with him a couple of times this year, but overall it's been pretty good."
Tim decided to go back to school after receiving an undergraduate degree in advertising from the University in 1975 and a second undergraduate degree in education from the University of Missouri-Kansas City in 1990. Tim also received a master's degree in education from UMKC in 1995.
But even with all that previous education, Tim said his daughter showed him the ropes.
But it took Emily an extra effort
to be fair while teaching her father, making sure her love didn't sway her professional judgments.
"I would spend equal or less time with his lab group because I didn't want the other students to think I had this bias," she said.
In fact, some students did think she had a bias. Once, when Emily was substituting, she gave a quiz that most students flunked. Tim, on the other hand, got all the answers plus the extra-credit questions correct.
"The others thought I tipped him off," Emily said. "He just studied really hard — probably too hard."
However, Emily insists she didn't tell her dad anything about the quiz, and Tim agreed. He said he knew she would give a quiz, and knowing his daughter, he had a feeling it would be hard.
Resolution could make the Towers smoke-free

lived together in their chosen communities.
Roommates in the Towers are matched according to their smoking preferences, but judging from the complaints received at the Department of Student Housing and the Tower's front desk, conflict still arises about secondhand smoke.
Seven percent of KU students reported in their housing applications last year that they were smokers. Seventy-two percent said they wanted a smoke-free environment, citing secondhand smoke and safety as reasons.
Susan Coleman, Lenexa sophomore, a smoker and Jayhawker Towers resident, said she was not opposed to a ban on smoking.
burn on smoking.
"I generally smoke outside of the Towers because I prefer not to have my apartment smell like smoke, and my roommates don't want me to smoke there either," she said.
Coleman lives in Tower B, the alfemale building at Jayhawker Towers. She said she thought fewer people might live in the Towers if the resolution passed.
Brad Brown, a maintenance worker at the Towers, said the Towers' ventilation system was closed, and each Towers apartment had separate ductwork. The only way smoke could travel is on the same floor, through neighboring apartments, Brown said.
"Only neighboring apartments can affect each other," Brown said. "For instance, apartment 312 wouldn't affect 303. But, 304 could affect 303."
Kara Smith, Overland Park junior and JTTA secretary, said JTTA originally looked into possibly reserving the upper floors of each Towers building for residents who smoked. In theory, she said, that would reduce the likelihood that smoke would bother the non-smoking residents.
However, the Department of Student Housing gave the JTTA only two antismoking options - either make one or more of the Towers smoke-free or ban smoking in the entire complex Smith said.

The only holderover from Larry Smith's staff at Missouri is wide receiver coach Andy Hill.
Smith was fired last month, one day after the Tigers completed a 3-8 season. Missouri has had only two winning seasons in the past 17 years, both under Smith (7-5 in 1997 and 8-4 in 1998); under Pinkel, Toledo had winning records in nine of his 10 years (73-37-3 overall). Toledo was 10-1 last season.
Tom Amstutz will be assistant head coach and defensive coordinator. He has been with Pinkel for 10 seasons, the last seven as defensive coordinator. Amstutz has developed a reputation as a strong recruiter. He will be in charge of recruiting in the St. Louis area.

Dave Christensen will be offensive coordinator and offensive line coach. He has served as Pinkel's offensive coordinator since 1997. Under his guidance, Toledo was ninth in the nation in rushing offense (253.8 yards per game) last season. Other coaches joining Pinkel are 14.
Other coaches joining Pinkel are Matt Eberlus, secondary coach; Cornell Ford, outside linebackers coach; Brian Jones, running backs coach; Craig Kuligowski, defensive line coach; Bruce Walker, tight ends and assistant offensive line coach; and David Yost, quarterback coach and recruiting coordinator.

STILLWATER, Okla. — Oklahoma State's topsy-turvy search for a new head football coach ended yesterday with Dallas Cowboys assistant coach Les Miles being tabbed as the man to try to return the school's program to respectability.
Miles was the offensive coordinator for Oklahoma State when the team went 8-4 and made an appearance in the Alamo Bowl in 1997. School officials hope he can return the luster to a team that has not had a winning season since.
"I am completely and utterly thrilled to have Les Miles back in Stillwater," said Oklahoma State athletic director Terry Don Phillips. "We needed a person of integrity, a person of character,
as well as an excellent football coach, that's a player's coach. And Les Miles brings that to us."

The Demon Deacons are good, especially in nonconference home games. They've won 44 of their last 47 home games against nonconference foes and they're 7-3 overall against Big 12 Conference teams. Plus, the matchup of two of the top teams in the nation is expected to draw a packed house at Lawrence-Joel, which seats 14,407.
If the No. 3 Kansas men's basketball team is a little nervous when it heads into Lawrence-Joel Coliseum for its 6 p.m. game against No. 11 Wake Forest, it's with good reason.
"The game will be more like a February game from an atmosphere standpoint," said Wake Forest coach Dave Odom. "That's what you want if you're a basketball coach this time of year. You put your team in that type of a situation and see how they will respond."
What Odom is hoping, he said, is for his Deacons to respond with a win. Wake Forest is 6-0, and a win would give the team its best start since the 1996-97 season, something that Odom said he knew would be a tall task.
"They've got big guys that run the court, and they're relentless in that they do it on every possession so we can't take a single possession off." Odam said. "They're relentless on the offensive glass and they get back on defense."
True, but the Deacons aren't exactly tiny. Junior
STOCKS
forward Darius Songaila is 6-foot-9, averages 13 points per game and has Olympic experience for his native Lithuania. Junior forward Antwan Scott (6-8) is averaging 10 points off the bench and 6-9 senior center Josh Shoemaker is averaging almost 11 rebounds per game. Hurting Wake Forest in the size battle is the continued absence of senior center Rafael Vidurareta who is recovering from off-season knee surgery. His absence puts more pressure on Songaila to produce.
"He's played really well for us thus far." Odom said. "We've been careful not to ask too much of him so far because he had an exhausting experience at the Olympics. His minutes will be more like they will be in an ACC (Atlantic Coast Conference) game Thursday night."
Songalia said the Kansas big men would be the toughest front he had played against all year. He added that his strength had been down, but he said he would be ready.
"They've got a strong front line, and the big guys move the ball real well and run the floor real well," Songaila said. "That says a lot about the big guys. I didn't do a lot of weight lifting during the summer because of all the basketball I played, but I think I'm back where I want to be, and I'll be ready to play."
The shortest weapon for the Demon Deacons may be the most dangerous — senior point guard Robert O'Kelley. He's averaging almost 14 points per game and is in the top 10 in all-time 3-pointers in ACC history, something Kansas sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich and junior guard Jeff Boschee will try to counter.
Hinrich is shooting 70 percent behind the arc this season. He's also averaging more than eight assists per game, which has caused Odom to notice how dangerous Hinrich is at running the point.
Road game to test 'Hawks
"Their ability to push the ball at the defense so quickly is a major factor," Odom said. "They've got guards that just really push the ball up the court."

Don't mind the Jayhawks if they happen to get a case of crimson and blue dejá vu tonight.
After all, when Kansas returns to North Carolina, Jayhawk coach Roy Williams and his players won't be able to stop thinking that they've been there before.
It was just last March when Kansas walked off the court in Winston-Salem, 69-64 losers to Duke in the NCAA Tournament. It was just four months later when Williams was back in North Carolina, pondering whether to take the Tar Heels coaching job.
In a season that's been so squarely cut so far, the Jayhawks (7-0) have come full circle. Kansas will be back in North Carolina when the Jayhawks take on 11th-ranked Wake Forest at 6 p.m. today.
"I really don't expect any problems," Williams said. "I think most of the people are Wake Forest fans, not North Carolina fans. But if there are any negative things that happen, I guess we'll have to roll with the punches, and if there's not, then that's be OK, too."
The game will mark the first public return in the state for Williams since spurring the Tar Heels in July, and Williams said he hoped his return would go smoothly.
"They've got a lot of guys that can put the ball in the basket." Williams said. "They're a good basketball team, they're extremely well coached, and it will be a major challenge for us, to say the least. We'll have to play our best game of the year if we expect to win."
"The guys are really anxious," said sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich. "We've been talking about how much we've wanted big games, big-game atmosphere, and that's what we're going to have."
The game will be a major change for the Jayhawks, who played their last five games at home against less-than-stellar competition.
the forward movement has led Williams and the Jayhawks to their first true road test of the season, facing the dangerous, undefeated and 11th-ranked Demon Deacons on their home court. Williams said he was impressed with Wake Forest.
Ironically, that big game will be at the same building — LawrenceJoel Coliseum — where Kansas finished its 1999-2000 campaign with a 69-64 loss to Duke.
"I think it will bring back memories, but that's it," Hinrich said of the venue's familiarity. "We're not playing Duke, we're playing Wake Forest, and they're a great team, and we're going to have to play well."
Tonight's game tips off at 6 p.m. and can be seen on ESPN.
Injury Update: Junior guard Jeff Boschee went full-speed in practice today while senior forward Kenny Gregory was limited, but both are expected to play today
and will resume their spots in the starting lineup.

Even though some think that is a stretch, the 'Hawks said they were confident they could still accomplish this goal.
Even after losing two of their last five games, the Jayhawks said they still could accomplish the goals they had set at the beginning of the season. One of those goals included winning the Big 12 Conference Championship.
By Zac Hunter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Part of the reason for the recent slide is Kansas' furious game pace. The 'Hawks rattled off five games in eight days, and that might have caught up with them against St. Joseph last Saturday.
An abundance of confidence is found in the Kansas women's basketball program.
"By the time we get around to conference, we're going to be playing our best basketball of the year," said senior guard Jennifer Jackson.
"We played a lot of games in a few days," Jackson said. "We knew it was going to be a tough road. Our goal now is not to lose again, hopefully, until the conference season."
Coach Marian Washington said she knew so many games in so few days would be a challenge, and, despite the loss to St. Joseph, she said her team responded well.
If Kansas can manage to win its last four nonconference games, it could be primed for the Big 12. An exhibition
against Washburn University, the 'Hawks are home to Creighton and Mississippi Valley State. Then they take to the road for a couple against Arizona and California-Santa Barbara.
Sports Columnist
Derek
But it won't be easy. Both Arizona and Creighton are receiving votes for the Associated Press Top 25 and will post stiff challenges for Kansas.
Now Kansas will have to format a plan to run the rest of the nonconference table.
"We're just trying to minimize our turnovers as much as possible," said junior guard Selena Scott. "Those are what break your back at the end of the game."
It will have to hang on to the ball, which the 'Hawks have been doing a better job of as the season has gone on.
In the first two games, the Jayhawks notched up 56 turnovers, much to the dismay of Washington. Since then Kansas has seen its turnovers decline. It had 15 against St. Joseph and only five in the second half.
Despite the progress, Scott said there was room for improvement.
"If we probably would have had one less turnover the last game we probably would have won," she said.
"We've been working very hard taking care of the ball," Washington said. "For the game to have 15, that's pretty good for a team that's trying to push the ball up."

University should retire more jerseys
Up. up and away!
Vince Carter, a.k.a. "Vinsanity," has been doing his superman impression ever since exploding on the NBA scene two years ago. Last weekend, coincidentally (or perhaps not), his old Carolina-blue jersey did a little flying of its own into the rafters of the Dean Dome.
The "honoring" of Carter's jersey got me wondering: Why haven't some of the stars from the Roy Williams era been honored in the rafters at Allen Fieldhouse?
Carter's NBA highlight-reel resume may seem like the coolest thing since sliced bread, but several recent Kansas alums have college grade cards that clearly outclass Carter's.
He met two of three criteria that North Carolina established to have a jersey honored: He was a consensus second-team All-American in 1998, and he played for a Gold-Medal winning Olympic team this year. The other criterion is to be voted team MVP in an NCAA championship game.
Those all are nice things, and Carter certainly was an outstanding college player, but his college accomplishments hardly compare to those of former Jayhawks Raef LaFrentz, Paul Pierce or Jacqueline Vaughn.
Pierce was a consensus first team All-American (1998), MVP of the Big 12 tournament in both 1997 and 1998, and in just three years he became the fifth all-time scorer in Kansas history. But no banner specifically honors No.34.
LaFrentz was a two-time consensus first team All-American (1997, 1998), a two-time Big 12 Player of the Year (ditto) and was only the second player in Kansas history to score 2,000 points. But there's no banner specifically honoring No. 45.
Vaughn was the 1997 GTE Academic All-American of the Year, a second team All-American in 1997 and the 1996 Big Eight Conference Player of the Year. But, you guessed it, no banner for No. 11.
So what's the deal?
Both teams have very high standards for actually having jerseys retired. At North Carolina, a player must be a consensus National Player of the Year to have the honor. At Kansas, a player must meet one of three criteria: three-time consensus All-American, consensus Player of the Year or MVP of the Final Four.
Well, North Carolina and Kansas just honor their players in different ways.
Suffice it to say, those are rare achievements, and a lot of great players are left out.
What North Carolina did was to add a second category of achievement.
In addition to retiring jerseys, the Tar Heels also "honor" jerseys with banners dedicated to a specific player. Like Vince Carter.
recently, the Kansas Athletics Department did raise a banner with all of the program's All-Americans on it, but it's just not the same.
The Athletics Department also has a Hall of Fame in the east lobby of Allen Fieldhouse that features portraits of great Kansas athletes. But once again, it's just doesn't capture the majesty of a banner hanging in the rafters.
Surely LaFrentz, Pierce and Vaughn have provided as much pleasure to as many Kansas fans as did B.H. Born, Charlie Black or Paul Endicott (each with a retired jersey).
And isn't that what it's all about?
Give the fans of today — who will one day regale their kids with tales of watching the great Raef LaFrentz, Paul Pierce or Jacque Vaughn — banners at which to point.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 7). A gold-digger is revealed, and true friends come through in a pinch. A fantasy fades, as a new reality emerges. You're on a quest in December. The money you need should arrive around January; stash away as much as you can. Study to save your resources in February. Resist the urge to splurge on an April affair. A stern reprimand is required in May, and a conflict can prove beneficial in June. Being thrifty pays off in July. Being assertive helps you win in October.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Frustrations are abundant, and sure things slip out of reach. Your problem is one of expansion. When you try something more difficult than you've done before, you're sure to run into new dilemmas. That's part of the fun, remember?
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
**taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.**
You're getting stronger, so don't give up. You don't have it so bad, anyway. You can even provide a shoulder to cry on for a friend who's more upset than you are. That ought to make you feel better. And, if it doesn't, your friend would be glad to reciprocate.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
Money's tight, and you may be on edge. No point in arguing with your sweetheart, though.
Gather with a favorite group instead, and work on a tough job together. This may take longer than you thought, but that's okay. Better late than never.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5.
You're swamped, but don't panic. Others are looking to you for direction. Stay cool and you'll inspire them to keep trying. There's a nice side effect: pretending everything's fine will help make it so. It's almost like magic. Keep it up.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
You're lookin' good, but practice anyway. You can put on that spin, that little flourish that brings the crowd to their feet. It's not going to be all that easy this time, but that's what makes the victory so sweet. Put in the extra effort.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
You're getting luckier and not a moment too soon. You've been cleaning up messes all week, and you may be just about sick of it. Looks like there's more of that tonight, but don't do it all by yourself. Get the whole family to help.
dura (sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
You have lots of marvelous people in your life.
Trouble is, you don't have much time to be with them. A new task you're learning is taking longer than you think it should. Relax. You'll learn faster if you do.
2
---
Scarpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 8.
Somebody can come in and provide just what's needed. You have been known to do the work of three or four ordinary people. Instead, why not get three or four ordinary people to help? That is not cheating. Do it all the time.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
The people who make the most money do the jobs nobody else wants. You could get the chance to join that group. Trouble is, you don't want to do that work, either! And you may not know how. Tackle the knowledge part first, and it will be easier.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5.
A private conversation with a special friend is
practically mandatory tonight. You'll need someone
to blow off steam with by then. Rules and regula-
tions are your specialty, but today you've had
enough of another else's rules and regulations!
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Know that everything you try will take at least twice as long as planned. This is not a big deal.
Although you're widely known for your creativity, it's a lesser-known fact that you're also quite stubborn. Put that talent to good use.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a B.
You could do well financially by providing what other people need. This shouldn't be too hard, as many seem unable to provide it for themselves.
Your biggest problem will be the confusion of deciding what to do first. Just chip away at it.

After a number of bruises and an hour or two on the ice, students may want to look for another seasonal diversion. Children of all ages can enjoy the Mayor's Christmas Tree and, for those looking for an added thrill, can climb on the train set up beneath it.
When the cold weather begins to takes its toll, students could relocate into the Crown Center
Shopping Mall to defrost with a cup of hot chocolate or some other sweets from one of many sweet shops inside.
Once frosted, students could also take the opportunity to do some holiday shopping.
"I usually go through and go ice skating and go shopping," said Kelly Bietkta, Leavenworth freshman and member of the Kansan advertising staff. "I usually go shopping for things like Christmas ornaments and decorations at Halls or Hallmark Live."
If shopping doesn't sound like fun, there's also the Peanuts 50th Anniversary Exhibit at the Hallmark Visitors Center. Students can look at Peanuts Hallmark Keepsake Ornaments and "The Joy of Peanuts Christmas" exhibit featuring Charlie Brown and his friends from the past 50 years. They can even meet Snoopy in person.
The Ice Terrace is open from November through March. Hours in December are from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 10 a.m. to 11 p.m. Friday and Saturday. January through March, the terrace is open from 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. every day of the week. Cost is $5 and skate rental is $2.

Toppings help girl win wiener jingle contest
TULSA, Okla. — Kelsey Griswold is relishing the success of her winning Oscar Mayer wiener jingle.
The 8-year-old Oklahoma girl's version of the newWiener ditty was chosen Tuesday from thousands of entries nationwide in the hot dog maker's contest.
A chill dog fan, Kelsay used her favorite wiener toppings to come up with her lyrics: "Oh, I wish I were an Oscar Mayer wiener, then the buns would really relish me. I would make the mustard glad, and the other wiens sad, and Oscar Mayer would stand up and shout with glee."
She performed the new jingle with music star Monica and is expected to be on the Rose O'Donnell show today in New York. Besides her time in the spotlight, Kelsey gets a $20,000 college scholarship.
"When I get back to third grade no one will believe this," she said.

"Since my reindeer supposedly offended all the little school children, which I think is a joke because they laugh at them, I'll bring them in during the week and bring them out on the weekends," he said Monday.
Long said he couldn't understand all the fuss.

FIFE LAKE TOWNSHIP, Mich. The two candidates for Fife Lake Township supervisor can relate to the nation's topsy-turvy presidential election.
Democratic incumbent Dave Stremlow won the election, then lost in a recount to Republican challenger Marianne Arson.
Then they ended up locked at 297 votes each after a third count Tuesday.
Now a drawing will decide who takes office.
The two candidates will choose slips of paper — one saying "elected," the other "not elected."
County Clerk Linda Cobra said the drawing is dictated by state law.
it's too bad it has to come to this, but I don't know what else you can do without having another election." Arson said.
Penn State student bid for class slots
STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Next on eBav; an MBA?
Second-year graduate business students at Penn State University bid for class slots online thanks to a system developed by two professors.
"We put the decision-making in the students' hands rather than the administration's hands," said auction co-creator Anthony Kwasnica, who teaches management. "It gives everyone an equal chance."
The program works like this; In August, each student receives 500 course-buying tokens. The system notifies students if they were outbid after an initial round. Students can modify bids in succeeding rounds. This continues — normally for two to three days — until bids stop rising.
"It was great," said Brett Myrter, who locked in his Penn State slots while on summer vacation in San Francisco.
Felon violates parole by exposing her guns
DENVER — Being a naked felon with a gun is a no-no.
A federal grand jury has indicted a convicted felon for violating her parole by posing for photographs that showed her holding firearms while nude or partially clothed.

forbidden from possessing weapons under terms of her parole.
Crippen was convicted in September 1997 of theft and distributing a controlled substance.
After federal authorities found the Web sites, Arapahoe County deputies searched the house where she was living and found three rifles and seven handguns.
The new charge against Clippen carries a maximum sentence of 10 years in prison.
Pastor quietse neighbor with noisy services
LEXINGTON, Neb. — A pastor has been found innocent of disturbing the peace after he was cited for allowing loud music during his church services.
The Rev. Juan DeLeon Menendez was ticketed in October after a next-door neighbor complained to police about the sound of an electric guitar and drums' blaring from his church.
ronce said they could hear the music up to a half block away from the church, located in the center of a residential area.
"It is so loud, and sometimes you can't even hear your own television," said Nita Waya, the neighbor who notified police about the music.
The church's 50 members use a guitar and drums at most of its services, which sometimes last more than three hours.
"We play music to praise God, but now we will try to keep the music a little lower," DeLeon-Menendez said.

Unified Theory - Unified Theory
The unique sound of Unified Theory may become one of the gems on alternative and modern rock radio.
The band's lead singer, Chris Shinn, has an interesting, mellow voice that carries the songs well, but the guitar play of Brad Smith and Christopher Thorn bring the band's music to a higher level.
Although Unified Theory has been influenced by everyone from Dave Matthews Band to the Red Hot Chillin Peppers, songs such as "The Sun Will Come" and "A.M. Radio" prove that this band is an original.
HIPPED HUNGERT
Unified Theory's creative lyrics make up for what the album lacks in danceability. The fourmember band will perform Wednesday at the Hurricane in Westport in Kansas City, Mo.

Robbie Williams Sing When You're Winning
song When You're Winning is pure pop. This latest release from Robbie Williams offers well-crafted tunes that are easy on the ears but not much more. Although his songs don't break new ground musically, Williams has energy and passion that make this album enjoyable.
the best track, "Rock DJ," is reminiscent of George Michael. It's a great dance tune with
unusually thoughtful lyrics, in "Kids," Williams pays homage to his pop heritage by teaming up with Kylie Minogue, an early '80s hit
singer. The song's meaning isn't clear, but Minogue and Williams play off each other so well that it doesn't matter what the song's about.
Williams ventures into darker territory toward the album's end. "By All

Sing When You're Winning is for all those die-hard pop lovers who have been disappointed with Eton John's latest efforts. Williams has done a nice job of perpetuating the genre with this new release.

Cyrus Chestnut & Friends
A Charlie Brown Christmas
Good grief! The time of year is here, and with it comes a new batch of seasonal CD releases. A few years ago, it became fashionable for artists to cut an album of holiday favorites. The result, more often than not, has been a butchering of once-classic songs for a quick buck.
Rarely does a contemporary artist have anything new to offer other than recycled variations on a yulelet theme. Accompiled jazz pianist Cyrus Chestnut does not fit into this category.
Those familiar with the television special penned by the late Charles Schulz, are well versed in the accompanying jazz score from the Vince Guaraldi Trio. The underrated Guaraldi, who was best known for his catalog of Peanuts' music, captured the understated essence of Schultz's wry humor and humane vision.
cd reviews
Nowhere is this more true than in his magical compositions for A Charlie Brown Christmas 35 years ago. Original tunes such as "Skating," "Christmas Time is Here" and "Linus and Lucy" join winsome versions of more traditional carols on a soundtrack that
conveyed the spirit of the occasion.
JOHN O'CONNELL & FRANKLIN
One of many youngsters captivated by the Peanuts' characters and Guaraldi's music, Chestnut set cut to bring this music, albeit in an updated form, to a new

generation of jazz lovers. He enlisted the help of musicians Brian McKnight, Kenny Garrett, Christian McBride, Don Allias, Michael Brecker and the Boys Choir of Harlem.
He doesn't help himself by allowing smoother charts and silkier instrumentation in his renditions. And giving Vanessa Williams the lead vocal on the nostalgic "Christmas Time is Here" is simply a mistake.
Nevertheless, the best supporting cast in the world can only do so much with musical material already rendered timeless in its first setting. From the outset, the well-intentioned pianist faces an uphill battle in his re-interpretation of Guaraldi's sentimental music.
"this is not an attempt to recreate what was done ... but a personal musical statement from my heart." While I can certainly empathize with the intimate appreciation of Guaraldi's masterpiece, I do not condone the rather impossible task of producing a more memorable album in the present.

Christina Aguilera — My Kind of Christmas
Bad music and Christmas go together like heart disease and Santa Claus.
Ho, Ho, Ho.
Enter Christina Aguilera, the hottest pop-Smurfette this side of the Times Square hype machine, with her holiday CD, My Kind of Christmas.
Maybe I'm being a tad cynical. Where's my Visa-spending spirit? After the swearing and tears subside, what's wrong with some ass-shaking carols while decorating the prickly of' white pine with the family?
Executive Puppetear, Ron Farr, starts Aguilera off prominently enough with the opening track,
Christina
"Christmas Tree." Baby Boy and Sol. Survior lay down some hip-slinging beats, which Aguilera's voice matches in power and venge. Bing Crosby's "White Christmas" never had the baby boomers grinding on the coffee tables like this.
For the rest of the CD, Fair and Aguilera duke it out in Fair's pop (and on monetary) sen-

ibility, and Aguilara's desire to mimic Mariah Carey (see Rolling Stone, July 6, 2000). Aguilara ends every verse with 10-second vibrato-laden notes, swooping through as many octaves as possible. It's pseudo-gospel, pseudo-R&B and self-aggrandizing vocal maestration.

For you pop and dance junks, Fair manages to salvage the last three songs on the 11-song CD. On the ninth track, Aguilera cuts back on her vocal hystics and delivers a vivid rendition of Mel Torme's "The Christmas Song — Chestnut Roasting on the Open Fire."
It should be noted that Aguilera's My Kind of Christmas is an enhanced CD. If you pop it into your computer, you might be able to watch a simple, low-budget video of Aguilera singing Tome's Christmas classic around a couple dozen candles.
For the 10th track, "Bassy" Bob Brackmann mixes together a standard dance song titled "Xtina's Xmas." It's blasphemous, cute and clubready.
Aguilera and Tome reteam in the finale with the addition of a drum machine in a more upbeat, "The Christmas Song (Holiday Remix)."
BMG Entertainment plans to release the "Non-Holiday" version in May 2001, guaranteeing the Smurfit commencement ever.

Emmylou Harris puts CD into her own words
By Martha Waggoner Associated Press Writer
RALEIGH, N.C. — When Emmyloharris started working on the follow-up to the Grammy-winning Wrecking Ball, which veered from her country roots to haunting alternative rock, she decided she needed some new material — her own.
While Wrecking Ball had Harris singing songs by everyone from Neil Young to Jimi Hendrix, for Red Dirt Girl, she ended up writing all but one of the album's 12 songs. The only other time she's written so extensively for a solo recording was on 1985's The Ballad of Sally Rose.
"I made the decision to write, and I think that it was because of Wrecking Ball." Harris said. "I had to raise the stakes a bit.
"To go back into the studio again, I almost didn't have a choice. I couldn't go back in and just do another album of covers. I had to see what I was made of."
The standards for her own songs were high because of the quality of the ones she's chosen to sing from other songwriters in her decadeslong career.
"There's righteous material that I've chosen to cover," Harris, 53, said. "I didn't want to record a song just because I wrote it. It would have to stand on its own."
Harris talked about Red Dirt Girl before a recent concert. Although she was reserved, Harris still sparkled: She was dressed from head to toe in silver and purple — silver toenails and pants, purple top and fingernails, and the famous silvery gray hair.
After the concert, she was almost tongue-tied when she met one of her artistic idols, the eclectic writer Annie Dillard, who won a Pulitzer Prize for Pilgrim at Tinker Creek. As visitors filed out, Dillard leaned
"To go back into the studio again, I almost didn't have a choice. I couldn't go back in and just do another album of covers. I had to see what I was made of."
Emmylou Harris
toward Harris and they held hands
On Red Dirt Girl, Harris' songs touch on everything from faith ("The Pearl") to an obsessive love affair ("I Don't Want to Talk About It Now") to abortion ("My Baby Needs a Shepherd"). In "Bang the Drum Slowly," a tribute to her father, a Marine fighter pilot who died in 1993, she sings: "But the song of my life will still be sung by the light of the moon you hung."
"Thank you," said Harris, perched on the arm of a ragged loveseat backstage. "Your writing has affected my writing."
singer/songwriter
She weaves poetry, imagery and magic to create songs that are personal, but not specific to her life, with the exception of the tribute to her father.
"The record company didn't have anything to do with that record
Although Wrecking Ball won a Grammy for best Contemporary Folk album in 1996, it was poorly received commercially — it only sold 250,000 copies. Harris has blamed that weak showing on Asylum, her former record company.
Red Dirt Girl, which features Dave Matthews and Bruce Springsteen, was released in September and entered Billboard's pop music chart at No. 54. Harris' highest entrance since 1982, and the country chart at No. 5, her highest entrance since 1981. Her record company, Nonesuch, says the disc has approached total sales of Wrecking Ball in eight weeks.
Yet Harris has never been a consistent chart-topper, perhaps because of her maverick style and refusal to jump on whatever musical band-wagon sells.
except for suggesting that I go as far left as I wanted," said Harris. "After they got it, they didn't know what to do with it."
A thrice-divorced mother of two, she began as a folk singer, then switched to country music under the influence of mentor Gram Parsons, the musical soul mate with whom she recorded two albums before he died in 1973.
After Parsons' death, Harris struck out on her own and from there began a solo career that would bring her several Grammys, and seven gold and four platinum records.
Harris has influenced careers from Vince Gill, Ricky Skaggs and Rodney Crowell to the Lilith Fair generation of artists — she was even a part of that tour. She continues to promote the work of artists she admires by singing their songs and talking them up during interviews.
David Bither, senior vice president at Nonesuch, part of the Warner Music Group, said the company's target audience for Red Dirt Girl has been "interested and intelligent adults."
Nonesuch was interested in Harris "not only for her history but also because her work has reached a level she's not reached before. As good as she's been, she is now better than ever," he said.

Yee haw.
Yee haw.
Lawrence's newest steak house, The Hereford House, 4831 W. Sixth St., combines the elegance of fine dining with steaks and entrees you don't have to be a cowboy to appreciate.
the restaurant, which also has two locations in Kansas City, opened its doors for dinner in Lawrence last Wednesday. It will begin serving lunch Monday, Jan. 15 and Sunday brunch on the Jan. 28.
The Hereford House's entrance is framed at night by outdoor torches. Inside, the restaurant's atmosphere is classy yet cozy as patrons dine next to a giant fireplace in the center of the restaurant.
The decor's theme is in true John Wayne-style, with cowboy statues, paintings and gear adorning the walls and ledges of the giant room and downstairs that seats 374. The soft lighting, carpeted floors and intimate booths give the feeling of dining at home. Overall, the Hereford House is elegant without being stuffy, unlike some fine restaurants.
It may feel like home, but it serves entrees your roommate could never pull off.
Steaks, the Hereford House's specialties, come in three different sizes and with a choice of potato-based side dishes including an excellent twice-baked potato. The restaurant claims to have the best steals in Kansas City, and it lives up to its high expectations, with steeks cooked to perfection with just the right amount of flavor.

Service — ●●●○○
for nonsteak eaters, the menu offers a range of entrees from a moist, split-roasted half-chicken to salmon, lobster and other seafood options with freshness and flavor rarely found in Kansas.
It don't stop there. The desserts range from a toasty peaches 'n cream pie with ice cream topping to an exquisite espresso creme brulée
However, don't think you're getting a bang for your buck. At the Hereford House, you're paying for what you get with most entrees priced at $17 or more. The dinners start at an $8.95 steak burger and go up to the $41.95 steak and lobster entree.
While members of the Hereford House staff are new and were sometimes a little bumbling, they were friendly and eager, topping off a positive dining experience. Glasses were almost always full and wait staff were at our beck and call, even scraping our crumbs off the table for a considerate though obtrusive touch.
Overall, the Hereford House is a positive addition to the Lawrence restaurant scene, which sometimes lacks in fine dining. Make a reservation or be prepared to wait because one of Lawrence's newest restaurants is sure to be a popular choice for bored diners.

Web logging newest rage
By Chris Hopkins
Kansan online editor
Writing these columns isn't easy, but it's not too difficult, either. In fact, plenty of other people spend more time on this and find more interesting things than I do.
Nonetheless, one of my favorite compendiums is on the Web site www.fark.com, which is wacky, satirical, insane but sometimes serious. They throw on about 50 links daily, and I always read at least a couple.
The Spike Report, ojr.usc.edu/content/spike.efm, filters it down even further, picking out the cream of the crop and giving you a good description to work with. Most of it is news from respectable sources, too, such as the Washington Post and the New York Times.
what you will get.
Putting favorite sites out for all the world to see is the newest rage online, with everyone and their 15-year-old angst-ridden daughter (especially their 15-year-old angst-ridden daughter) posting their latest finds and their current affairs in a sort of public digital diary called a Web log. At www.ringsurf.com/netring/ring=weblogger-action=list, you get a list of over 500 Web loggers, all with unique and valuable perspectives despite the fact that many can't legally smoke.
As a Web designer, I like to take a look at innovative sites as well as interesting news. A couple of the best collectors of really high-end, sharp-looking sites are www.finddesign.com and www.invertebrae.com.

Of course, you don't have to be a passive participant in this. One of the reasons this is exploding is www.blogger.com, a site that makes it possible for everyone to bitch about how bored they are to everyone else.

Costner shines in politics flick
By Clare McLellan
Kansas movie critic
A. A. B. C. D. E. F. G. H. I. J. K. L. M. N. O. P. Q. R. S. T. U. V. W. X. Y. Z.
irrying to recover from the not-so-distant painful memories of For Love of the Game and The Postman — I won't even touch that water movie — Kevin Costner returns to what he does well in Roger Donaldson's Thirteen Days.
No, it's not a baseball flick,
although I bet a old Kev has
prayed a few times that people
only think "If you build it ..."
when they think about his up-
and-down career.
Thirteen Days, starring Kevin Costner, explores the Cuban Missile Crisis and the people behind the politics during John F. Kennedy's presidency. Contributed photo
Thirteen Days focuses on Costner movie-era triumph — John F. Kennedy's presidency. Even though it was Dealey Plaza and conspiracy theories in JFK, this film explores the nightmare of the Cuban Missile Crisis and the people behind the politics.
I must admit, for the first 15 minutes or so I was worried for Kevin.
It looked as though Days could be another flop. Shoddy acting and the most atrocious Boston accent you've ever had the misfortune of hearing made Costner's character, Kenny O'Donnell, look like a fool. I'm not a political historian, but I can't imagine that you become special counsel to the president of the United States by being an idiot. Friendship ties only bind so tight.
The tagline for the film is "You'll Never Believe How Close We Came."
As the movie progressed, however, the acting improved (the accent never did), and the story intensified, propelling the audience through the two-and-a-half hour film. From what I can tell, *Days* is a Hollywood-accurate portrayal of the behind-the-scenes action during the crisis. Only those who were there know what the atmosphere was like in the White House for those 13 tense days in October 1962, but this film gives you a sense of the urgency about the situation.
It was nerve-racking to say the least — to see how many times the U.S. government
came close to leading the nation into another world war during those two weeks. The audience should walk away with a renewed or newfound respect for the men involved in resolving the crisis peaceably. The stress they were under was unthinkable.
In this respect, Days employs a bit of "great man" history - painting Kennedy and his brother Bobby to be the heroes.
Even though they deserve our gratitude, JFK also was the one who botched the Bay of Pigs invasion, costing many lives not long before.
Thirteen Days:
Acting ●●●○○
Writing ●●●○○
Accurate accents ○○○○○
Costner's ever-fluctuating ability to pick a good movie ●●●○○
Historical accuracy ●●●○○
It was striking to see these two huge characters in our country's history alive again on the big screen, relying on each other as brothers. The final scene shows them standing together on the White House porch, and coupled with some nice camerawork, this makes a powerful closing to a decent film.
but each character was well developed and distinct. Steven Culp, who plays Bobby Kennedy, is arguably the best-cast, as he not only nails his persona, but actually looks like Bobby. A bit part in the film is played by a real Kennedy — Christopher Lawford, son of Patricia Kennedy, JFK's sister.
A drawback to the effectiveness of the two lead characters, however, was their accents. The dialect coach on this film needs to seek a new profession because while Costner's accent was too thick, JFK's was barely there. What is that about? JFK is known for that voice — among other
things.
One distracting aspect of this film was the "here and there" use of black and white photography. Every now and then a scene would appear in black and white, then change back to color on a whim. If someone has the secret decoder ring that solves this mystery, please write me at writer@kansan.com and fill me in as to why this was done. That aside, Thirteen Days was a well-done political drama. I don't know if it will be enough to earn Costner back his pre-Waterworld clout, but it's a step in the right direction. Next time, Kevin, for the love of God and the game, steer clear of the accents.

Stretching aids those wanting a good workout
Doing the wrong stretches,however,may not prepare your muscles sufficiently for the routine.
Stretching is important in the gym, so you should be aware of the different types of stretching and which type is best to use before and after routines.
You should never underestimate the importance of stretching before beginning a light or heavy cardio workout because it prepares your muscles for heavy training.
Both types of stretches are important and, if used correctly, can maximize your post-workout recovery.

Instructors choreograph program
Section B • Page 7
By Katie Nelson Special to the Kansar
Use what you know. The instructors in the department of dance seem to be taking this popular phrase to heart.
This year's Fall Concert Program of the University Dance Company includes six pieces choreographed by instructors in the program. The pieces focus on the strengths and interests of different instructors.
Members of the University Dance Company perform Danse Caprice during their dress rehearsal Tuesday night. The performance began last night, and the final performance will be tonight at the Lied Center. Photo by Nick Krug/KANSAN
The program opened last night, and the final performance will be at 8 tonight at the Lied Center.
It opens with "Baroque Sampler" choreographed by Joan Stone, director of the department of dance. Stone performed as a soloist in the United States and Italy before focusing on the reconstruction of Renaissance and Baroque dances, which is reflected in her selection for the concert. She coregraphed the piece based on noted dances and gestures from paintings.
The dance is set to Rebel's "Les Caracteres et la Danse," performed by the Spencer Consort. The Spencer Consort will be directed by Paul Laird, associate professor of
Musicology. It includes flute, recorders, cello and harpichord.
Muriel Cohan, assistant professor of dance, uses dancers to tell a Japanese folk tale. The performance is accompanied by an original percussion score written by Jason Slote, KANU-FM radio recording engineer and production supervisor.
"I have this affinity for Baroque music, especially Italian Baroque," he said. "As such, I have choreographed to Baroque several times in the past."
The third piece of the program was choreographed by Wille Lenoir, instructor of dance. "Suite Manfredini" combines Italian Baroque music with modern dance.
He said the suite was comprised of seven movements from several different concerts in Manfredini's "Opus 1".
"The dance is very lyrical and utilizes quartets, solos, trios and duets," he said. "The dance tells no story but, rather, is a visualization of the music."
Tamara la Garbanico, a trained flamenco dancer, also will perform. She is a faculty member at the
University of Missouri. Kansas City.
Jerel Hilding, associate professor of dance, uses Felix Mendelssohn's "Capriccio Brillante" for the final work of the program — a ballet titled Caprice.
Tickets still are available for the
Fall Concert. Tickets cost $7 for general admission and $5 for students. They can be purchased at the Lied Center, (785) 864-ARTS or Murphy Hall, (785) 864-3982.

Teen-ager charged in fatal crash
WWW.KANSAN.COM
Boy,16,drank at frat house police say
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A 16-year-old boy faces an involuntary manslaughter charge after a highway trooper's investigation revealed that he caused a fatal accident Sept. 16 on Kansas Highway 10 after drinking at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house and the Wheel.
Sean Michael Scott of Shawnee was charged Wednesday in the juvenile division of the Johnson County District Court. He first appeared in court yesterday morning, which was continued to Monday, Jan. 8. His bond was set at $50,000.
"We allege that he — through the traffic accident — unintentionally killed Felicia Bland," said John Fritz, Johnson County assistant district attorney. "The elements of involuntary manslaughter as it applies to this case are that the killing was done
while he was driving under the influence. We believe he was driving under the influence."
Richard Ramos, brother of 39-year-old Felicia Bland, who was killed in the accident, said he and his family were glad the case was moving alone.
"We would like to see justice served," he said.
Mathew Heffley, Kansas Highway Patrol trooper, worked the accident.
Two weeks after the accident, Hefley said Scott lost control of his car, crossed the median and hit Bland's car 15 miles east of Lawrence.
Bland was killed instantly, Hefley said. Scott was not wearing a seatbelt and was ejected through the rear window of his Camaro. He was transported to Overland Park Regional Medical Center with a broken wrist.
Scott told emergency crews he had drunk a lot that night, Heffley said.
How the evening unfolded...
Heffley said Scott attended a party at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house, 1540 Louisiana St., where Scott's brother Mike was a pledge. Heffley said Sean went to meet Mike at the house, and a fraternity member drove them to the Wheel, 507 W. 14th St., where Sean drank. Sean and Mike then walked back to the fraternity

Editor's note:
The story's opening narrative was based on facts given to the reporter but fictionalized some details. Although Miller was an employee for BarBWire Steakhouse more than a year ago, he no longer works there.
The story "Raving about ecstasy" in Wednesday's Kansan contained re-creations of certain events based on information Kevin Miller, a former University of Kansas student, gave the reporter.
The part of the story about Miller attending a rave was also re-created from past events.
These stories were told in the present tense for narrative effect, though the events they were based on happened months ago.
In addition, the musician Moby has not endorsed the use of ecstasy.

Christmas challenge heats up
By L.D. McKee
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A Christmas challenge may end up being an expensive proposition for residents of two houses on Tennessee Street.
Taylor cited 26,000 imported Italian twinklers used by Chevy Chase's character in the classic holiday film "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation" as the inspiration for the decoration.
"We had to out-do them on lights," said Eric Taylor, Tulsa, Okla., senior. "We had to beat Clark W, Wresold, too."
After receiving a Christmas card from their neighbors challenging them to a contest of Christmas lights, the residents of 1305 Tennessee St. bombedard their front yard and house with Christmas lights.
Residents of 1238 Tennessee St., from left to right, Jake Thomas, Tulsa, Okla.; Michael Neitzel, Dallas; Johnny Kennyhertz, Lenexa; and Brian Allen Provo, Overland Park, all seniors, admit they have been outdone by the decor of their neighbor's down the street. Photo by Nick Krug/KANSAN
Eric Wendling, Topeka senior and resident of 1305 Tennessee St., said he expected the light bill to be $400 to $600 a month. Only five people live in the house, but Wendling said that six of their friends were pitching in to help pay the bill.
"They're trying for the Griswold effect," said Michael Neitzel, Dallas senior and a resident of 1236 Tennessee St., the house that made the challenge.
neezed sure he wasn't planning on paying that much for the lights. He said he and his roommates turned the lights off every night before they went to bed to keep the cost down.
"We had a budget, but I don't know if we've gone over it yet," he said. "We understand it's the holidays, and we have to step it up a notch."
Neilzel said the competition was all in good fun, but added it was still a stiff rivalry.
Both houses are participating in a competition called "Light Up Lawrence," sponsored by Westlake Ace Hardware, 601 Kasold Drive and 711 W. 23rd St. People can submit their addresses at either Westlake store in town and members of Channel 6 News will pick the finalists. Beginning Thursday, a finalist will be shown on the evening news on Channel 6. The winner will be announced on Dec. 22. Five finalists will receive $500 gift certificates to Westlake.
"We started putting up lights and then they started putting up lights trying to one-up us," he said.
Taylor said he would do whatever it took to
win the competition.
"Were playing for pride," he said. "I don't care what we get — we'll give it to charity. We want that say what for once in our lives, we were men."
Taylor said that it took three days to put up the lights, and that neighbors told them they could plus extension cords into their outlets.
"At this point, our microwaves are in our bathroom," Wendling said.
Taylor said he didn't mind the expenses for the lights.
"It's Christmas," he said. "It only comes once a year."

Wrapping up... The freshman experience
Editor's note: During Hawk Week, the Kansas asked a group of new students who were just moving in to start recording their experiences and thoughts about their new lives at the University of Kansas.
The Kansan was looking to see the University through the eyes of students from different backgrounds to gauge initial reactions to the University and the people here and to experience the transition that comes with life at a university.
What follows are excerpts from the journal entries of five freshmen as they prepare for finals.
Rea Judilla
Thanksgiving break was perfect. I didn't realize how much I had missed my high school friends until I saw them again. My friend's father died the week before break, so a whole group of us drove down to go to the rosary. It's amazing how tragedy can bring people together. Hugs and tears turned into laughter and crazy stories from college life. It was hard for us to leave each other after that.
Everyone has grown up so differently. Somehow our circle of friends matured, too People realize exactly how much their friends mean to them. Some fall away, but my dearest friends are always there for me My best friend from home talks to me almost every day. He knows when to listen to my problems, make me laugh and offer advice He made a huge part of my college life easie ...
My friend had another death in the family only two weeks after her father. I am so lucky in ways I don't even think about. If I were in her shoes, I don't know what I could possibly hear from a friend to comfort my pain. My mother's dad died when she was in high school. That really must have hurt her. Having a parent die while you start college must make a person into an adult very quickly ...

I didn't necessarily ask for those labels, but I've accepted them for what they are: fairly accurate, but still innocuous. No matter where they came from before, who they were, how they acted, or what they did, people come to college and are filed away rather quickly and accurately. Frat boys, sorority girls, queers, Bible-beaters or even your "typical" college student is categorized ... Some people could say that because I'm an architecture major I use speed to stay awake for my projects, but that is completely false ...
My planner probably has a total of four entries in it, which consist of my birthday, my girlfriend's, our anniversary, and the last day of school. Organized? Not exactly. As disorganized as I am, I find myself with 15 cards to keep track of Two IDs, a debit card, a copy card, movie card, blood donor's card, Blockbuster card, calling card, etc. I used to think it would be cool to have so many cards. Now I just realize it makes my wallet fat enough to hurt my ass when I drive for more than 10 minutes ...
While I'm on completely random crap, who else likes the FedEx commercial in which the crocodile hunter gets bitten by the poisonous snake without the antvenom? Do I use FedEx now? No, but I still get a kick out of that commercial ...
do the guys that play basketball at Robinson realize they're playing at Robinson and not at Allen Fieldhouse? It's not the Final Four or the Big 12 Conference Championship, so don't take it so seriously! Have fun! Screw around! ... Another thing that blows my mind is how some classes revolve around the final. Just another way of proving that school doesn't prepare you for college...

Bodies of young people found in Wichita home
WICHITA — Relatives and neighbors wept and embraced outside a northeast Wichita home yesterday, hours after police found the bodies of four young people inside, dead of undetermined causes.
Police were investigating the deaths of the two males and two females as homicides. Lt. Ken Landwehr said two of the victims had head injuries, and while there was no immediate evidence that they had been shot, police did not rule out gunfire.
Police said the fully clothed bodies had been discovered at 9:02 a.m. by a friend who had been unable to reach one of the four. At mid-afternoon, the bodies remained in the house as police awaited a search warrant.
Police did not immediately release identities of the victims, reported to range in age from 16 to 22.

WASHINGTON — President Clinton yesterday postponed for at least six months what would have been the first execution of a federal inmate in 37 years, leaving the fate of convicted murderer Juan Raul Garza for the next president to decide.

WASHINGTON — It was time for a change in the nation's capital. The old regime was fine — although whispers of "dysfunctional" and "cantankerous" dogged its final years — but sentiment can go just so far, and then you need new blood.
Welcome to Washington, Mei Xiang and Tian-Tian, but know this; it's a tough town, where dynasties come and go in the wink of one of your huge panda eyes. The black and white creatures — Mei Xiang, a 2-year-old female, and Tian-Tian, a 3-year-old male — arrived at the National Zoo on Wednesday.
A smooth 17-hour flight on a specially equipped FedEx jet dubbed "Panda One" and an easy landing led to a decision to allow them to lodge together immediately, instead of spending their first two nights in separate quarters as originally planned.

European Union gathers to extend membership
NICE, France — Their goal: to complete a "great mission" by bringing Europe together. But as the leaders of the European Union's 15 nations gathered here yesterday to revamp their organization and make room for young democracies from Eastern Europe, success was far from assured.
— that other European nations, from Turkey to the Baltics, are welcome to join and must work hard to get in shape for membership. But enlarging the European Union isn't that simple. The EU consistently brushes aside demands by the 13 candidate countries for firm entry dates.
During a planned three-day summit in this French Riviera resort, the EU nations were likely to restate their commitment — first made in 1993

U.S. policy with Iraq has price, speaker says
By Cassio Furtado Special to the Kansan
For some, the Gulf War never ended.
For some, the Gulf war never ended. Kathy Kelly, the co-founder of Voices in the Wilderness, a Chicago-based group that advocates the end of the United Nations and United States sanctions against Iraq, said the war had merely changed.
She told a group of 30 students last night at Ecumenical Christian Ministries that the new war was even more devastating and destructive than the bombing in the early 1990s.
"It affects children, the elderly, the sick, and the poor," she said.
Kyle Browning, KU Amnesty International vice president and Overland Park senior, said he hoped the next U.S. president would change the country's policy towards Iraq. The sanctions are not hurting the Iraqi government, he said.
Kelly said 5,000 children died every month in Iraq because of the sanctions.
"Children are crying and imploring for food," she said. "We are not a nation of child abusers; we don't promote child sacrifice."
Kelly said the U.S. government was interested in keeping dictator Saddam Hussein in power. She said the United States benefited from keeping an internally strong Iraqi government in the hands of Hussein.
"But our government wants Iraq crippled externally," Kelly said.
"It's a very horrible thing. And it doesn't get much attention in the media."
Holly Worthen McPherson junior

"But this policy has been accomplished at a terrible price," Kelly said.
For her, by weakening Iraq abroad, the United States would make sure that Saudi Arabia dominated the oil market, therefore making more profits, which would be used to buy U.S. weapons.
She said the U.S. government couldn't continue to force other countries to do what it wanted them to do when it wanted them to do it, while at the same time protecting its allies.
"Israel has violated U.N. mandates more than 70 times, and nothing has happened to Israeli children," Kelly said.
Holly Worthen, McPherson junior, said she had been ignorant of the U.S. policy towards Iraq and its consequences before attending last night's talk.
"It's a very horrible thing," she said. "And it doesn't get much attention in the media." — Edited by Shawn Hutchinson

KU diversity a concern for students of all races
By Leita Schultes
writer@kansan.com
Kansan stuff writer
Ben Chapman said the limited diversity at the University of Kansas was almost enough to make him want to go to another school.
His statement echoed that of many minority students on campus, who say they feel isolated on a campus where nearly 21,000 students — 81 percent — are white.
But Chapman, McPherson sophomore and a white student, said that diversity affected all students, regardless of race.
He said more diversity would improve his experience at the University. His opinion was shared by others.
Like Chapman, Titus is white but understands the value of diversity.
She said she became interested in promoting diversity while still in high school.
"I saw a lot of racism in high school," she said. "I just always knew that was wrong, and I wanted to come to a school that was more diverse. I thought KU would be that, and I have been a little disappointed."
Titus said there were a handful of white students on campus who were concerned about diversity. But most were not confronted with racial issues and weren't forced to consider their importance.
Jessica Scott, Haven freshman, agreed that for most white students, diversity was not a primary concern.
As a white student, she said she didn't notice the small number of minority students when she first came to campus.
"The more you look around, the more you notice it," she said.
Scott said she didn't know if a more diverse student body would help her educational experience.
"it's hard to say, because I've never really been around a big group of diverse people," she said. "But it couldn't hurt it."
Alberta Wright, assistant director at the Office of Multicultural Affairs, said students at KU tended to make diversity an issue only for minorities.
She asked why white students didn't go to Black Student Union meetings or stop in the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
"This is where everyone is supposed to come and learn about diversity and multi-culturalism at KU," Wright said.
She said the KU community needed to decide together what diversity was by talking about issues openly and honestly.
"Right now there is a fear of fear," Wright said. "Overcome the fear of being different and overcome the fear of those who are different. It's a two way street."

Activists fast to raise money to ship clothing items to Tibet
This holiday season, members of Students for a Free Tibet hope that they will have something to celebrate. But hold the egg nog, lights and presents — this group is focusing on Tibetan refugees in Nepal.
The KU chapter of Students for a Free Tibet, established in the fall of 1997, is preparing to send 138 pounds of clothes to a Tibetan refugee camp near Marpa, Nepal. Students from KU residence halls and Ecumenical Christian Ministries donated the clothing.
The KU Students for a Free Tibet will fast from sunrise to sunset Sunday in front of the Firststar Bank at 9th and Massachusetts streets.
"It's a group of refugees that doesn't get noticed quite as often as several other groups," said Ben Burgen, Eskridge sohomore.
Karen Keith, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore, hopes that both students and residents will donate at the fast to help pay for the postal expenses.
However, the group does not have enough money to send the 138 pounds of clothing to the refugees. Burgen estimated that the group needs about $800 to send the clothing to Nepal.
Last summer, Erik Goodman,
Beavercreek, Ohio, senior, visited
Marpha. During his visit, he noticed

that the refugees had to endure many hardships.
He said that the refugees left their homeland because government officials from the People's Republic of China have suppressed Tibetan cultural and religious practices.
For more information, contact Ben Burgen at burgen@falcon.co.uk.uks.edu.
Information also can be found at www.ukans.edu/~amnesty/tibet.
Chinese forces invaded Tibet in 1950. Since the beginning of the Chinese occupation, an estimated 2,700 monasteries have been destroyed and subsequently rebuilt.
Goodman said that 1.3 million Tibetans have died because of the invasion.
He said that that he thinks many countries shy away from acknowledging the problems with the Chinese occupation of Tibet. He would like to see predominant countries, such as the United States or the United Kingdom, advocate for fundamental religious freedoms and human rights for Tibetans.
"It is a very serious situation, and time is running out." Goodman said.

Police say teen drank drove, caused accident

house, where, Hefley said, Sean drank again. He initially was supposed to meet his family at the Kansas football game, but he decided to go see his girlfriend. It was on his way to her house in Lenexa that the accident occurred.
Danny Kaiser, director of the Organizations & Leadership Development Center, confirmed that Sean Scott was at Phi Gamma Delta that night but would not confirm whether Sean Scott had been drinking. The fraternity had been scheduled to go dry in July, but it met certain requirements, which fraternity members would not disclose, that had pushed that date back to July 2002.
Roscoe Mendenhall, the house corporation president for the University of Kansas chapter of the fraternity, said the public did not need to know the fraternity's alcohol policy.
Kaiser said the University of Kansas had not taken any action against Phi Gamma Delta.
We recognized from the onset that this was going to be a very serious situation," Kaiser said. "We anticipated there would be an investigation. We didn't want to get in the way to mess that up. Nothing has been swept under the rug. Nothing has been ignored. It's just been postponed."
Kaiser said he was not sure yet whether the University would take any action against the fraternity.
Phi Gamma Delta did not confirm any of the night's events.
"The members of the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity will continue to keep both families of this unfortunate incident in our prayers, and hopefully this incident will help to educate the University of Kansas community on the dangers of drinking and driving," said Jake Brown, Phi Gamma Delta president.
Brown deferred any further comment to Mendenhall, who declined to comment yesterday.
He had accused the press in September of trying to exploit the story.
"Why do you want to do a story?" Mendenhall said. "It's a tragedy in my mind without somebody trying to make it worse."
Robert Farha, the owner of the Wheel, said yesterday that he was unaware of the investigation and declined to comment.
Tom Bath, Sean Scott's attorney, declined to comment.
A supervisor at the Johnson County Juvenile Detention Center said yesterday that she could not confirm whether Sean Scott had posted bond and been released.
His bond conditions include surrendering his license and not using alcohol or associating with anyone who is.
Fritz, assistant district attorney, said his office would decide before Sean Scott's Jan. 8 court date whether Scott would be charged as an adult.
As an adult, Fritz said, Scott could face 38 to 43 months in prison. If he remains in the juvenile system, the judge has a number of sentencing options, ranging from 18 to 36 months in a juvenile detention facility to probation to paying a fine to treatment.
Fritz said his office would consider how the crime was committed, what public safety issues existed and Scott's age, sophistication and maturity in deciding whether to seek prosecution through the adult system.
The Kansan sued the Kansas Highway Patrol on Nov. 29 to require the release of its report on this accident. The report has not been released, and the Kansan maintains its suit.
Editor's note: The Kansan alleges the Kansas Highway Patrol violated the Kansas Open Records Act by not releasing the report. The highway patrol maintains it is covered by an exception in the open records law.

Please, before I dive into my post-mortem pool of defeat, I just want to add an important detail of my contribution to "Decision 2000."
I did not vote!
In my defensive, yet explanatory rendition of a 1600 Pennsylvania street-corner blues composer: "I wrote a column 'bout it. Here it go."
Political policies and political ideologies never have been and probably never will be a distinct part of my agenda.
Lately, I've been on a spiritually submissive path and I have decided that any dealings with a man-made governmental bureaucracy might add more obstacles and speed bumps to my godly mission than an Israeli-Palestinian turf conflict.
First. understand my
First, understand my location during the unveiling of the election results. I was attending a hip-hop concert. Yes, it is true. I was one among those many "heads" that take refuge in "Father Hip-Hop" from the hysterical everyday political rigamarole.
(1)
And once again, my refuge offered me shelter in rhythmic bliss. Hip-hop never lets me down. However, for some undeniable rea-
some untenable feel son, my refuge seemed a bit intruded upon, and I developed this eerie feeling that somehow my fellow hip-hop heads' enthusiasm was being rerouted to a lesser power.

The election results clearly drained the juice from my fellow head-bobbers, and the loss of spirit was evident from the stage to the entrance door. Demeaning catch phrases referring to the Republican's Lancelot echoed even over the captivating sound of the turntable revolutions.
It then became clear that a real culture shock was near and a generation that I take a patriotic pride in was highly apathetic towards America's foreshadowing of doom.
My culture was in danger: I knew that the election of a new-age Republican president means stricter censorship on the material that we crave. Where would I go for refuge? I knew that affirmative action literally might be thrown out of the White House window. What kind of future would this leave for the solidarity and continuance of a generation and culture that thrives on education?
By this point, I should have been giving myself the game-winning field goal kick in the rear for not voicing my opinion by voting against George W. Bush. I went into the "my-vote-couldn't-have-made-a-difference" phase, and honestly, it couldn't have made a difference. I do understand, however, that if everyone had the same attitude as me, then we would be in a heap of trouble. So at this point, I thank everyone.
With this act of courtesy, I also want to chastise the entire country and charge the citizens of this land with overly compulsive dependency. Though it isn't necessary to even begin to discuss one's faith in a higher power, the fact that many of this country's citizens rely and look to an "olligarchy in disguise" to seal their fate really displays a lack of hope and spiritual belief.
The spirit of a movement or a people is stronger than any political policy or office tenure and, historically, proves to be more effective. It was the spirit of the women's liberation movement that made opportunities possible. It was the spirit of the Civil Rights movement that made equal rights a priority.
Among many other issues, it was the spirit of this nation as a whole that has been responsible for the prosperity of its people. This is why I did not vote. I didn't need to. I relied on the rally of spirit. I had an undying belief that even if Sam Houston himself was elected, the spirituality in my values and my faith and in the prosperity of my people wouldn't be taken away.

Letters to the Editor
'Sex On the Hill' feature cheapens sex, relationships
I cannot believe the Kansan would take a sacred act and profane it so greatly. Has sex become nothing more than a feel-good event? What happened to the belief that sex was for marriage? What happened to the belief that showing all those pictures that the Kansan showed in the recent story on sex in JayPlay had no place in a public newspaper? Showing a wall full of dildos and vibrators while a guy holds his girlfriend's butt?
I shudder to think what my friends and family would think if they saw me in a picture like that. The thought of sinking to the level of visiting Priscilla's, especially to get a toy that showed that I wasnt good enough for my wife, makes me shudder.
There are so many confused statements in this article. First, the physical part of a non-marriage relationship should not be sex; when people have sex before marriage, what makes marriage so special? But, if all you do in a dating relationship is kiss or hold hands, how much more special will your wedding be?
Second, the so-called "sexpert" Dennis Dailey said that "one of (sex's) main reasons for being is physical pleasure." No, sex is meant to unify two people in indissolubility and faithfulness, something that is not present before marriage. Marriage makes two people one, something that cannot happen in a dating relationship, especially when almost all dating relationships end before marriage.
Finally, the viewpoint that these perverse things such as vibrators have a place in society, even so far as to claim "every woman should have a vibrator." sickens me. Just because the sexpert says that no penis can outmove a vibrator is no need to resort to something that takes batteries. If we were all animals, we could succumb to such urges.
Also, sex is open to fertility. Biologically and religiously, everything says that having sex means making a child. Procreation is not welcome before marriage, so don't have sex if you don't want the child that may be created.
On the Kansan's website, they talk about
uncontrollable urges, urges that "cannot be ignored." Hello? Are we not beings with a will that allows us to control our urges? How then do so many people go so long without sex, some even their whole lives?
Maybe the sign of wanting to live in a "sexually uptight world" is the strong will to do what is right. In that case, count me and many others in.

Kansan should take responsible stance on sex, drug coverage
I have become very concerned about several articles in the Kansan. The first disturbing instances were the recently published Sex on the Hill and "Different Strokes for Different Folks" (30 November 2000).
Reporters for these subjects have obviously thrown aside good taste and moral decency in exchange for hype and attention. The idea that sex is something to be experimented with and used like any other physical experience is dangerous and ignorant. I challenge you to find anyone in a meaningful and respectful relationship that engages in the cheap, meaningless sex your paper has advertised as "healthy."
I am equally disgusted with today's (6 December 2000) front-page article about the illegal drug ecstasy. I support individual liberties, but I cannot support the disregard of responsibility that this article encourages.
Ecstasy's fatal consequences are barely mentioned, buried in a sea of "information" about feel-good sexual energy and euphoria. Labeling ecstasy as "the drug of choice for a new generation" reflects the author's and the UDK's unwillingness to take a proactive stand against dangerous and deadly "party" trends.
I hope the Kansan will take a responsible position toward sex and drugs at KU, instead of promoting a casual and recreational attitude.

Editorial
Holidays allow time for thanks
While shopping is key to the holidays, remember the reason for giving.
Shopping, shopping and more shopping. The holidays bring an emphasis to buying gifts more than any other time of year. However, people should remember to focus on the enjoyment of giving rather than the process of buying.
Shopping has become so important that there is a day specifically dedicated to shopping. The day after Thanksgiving is now celebrated as the official start of the holiday shopping season.
Some stores, such as Wal-Mart and K-Mart, started the season in advance by opening their doors on Thanksgiving night to give shoppers a jump on the sales. While this may be beneficial to merchants, the materialistic character of this time of year often overrides the joy of giving. Is all of the hustle and bustle of this month that necessary for the celebration of the holiday season?
All of the shopping and preparations for celebration add to unneeded and unwanted stress. Many students can relate as the stress factor is much higher because of final week, final projects and working to save those extra bucks for gifts for friends and family.
This year finals week falls with just a few days to spare before Christmas, so there will be a mad rush for students to get everything done.
Amidst all of the shopping madness, we need to keep in mind that the season is not only about giving and receiving gifts, but also time to give thanks for and to the people and things that we already have.
This means that it doesn't take maxing out a credit card or spending your life savings on gifts in order to show someone your appreciation.
Rather than hitting the mall, why not take some time to get creative and make your gifts more personal and meaningful instead of just overpriced.

City to launch new buses for disabled
By Matt Merkel-Hess
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Lawrence residents who are eligible for door-to-door paratransit services should submit an application soon if they want to ride when the new system starts Saturday, Dec. 16
The paratransit service — known as the "T Lift" — is for residents with special needs who may be eligible under the Americans with Disabilities Act. The T Lift is associated with the new public transit system and replaces part of the services previously provided by Kaw Regional Transit.
T Lift service may apply to:
Individuals with physical or mental disabilities that prevent them from boarding, riding or leaving an accessible transit vehicle whether or not they can get to the stop.
Individuals who require lifts and other accommodations.
- Individuals with impairments who are unable to travel to a boarding location or from an unloading location to their
APPLICATION INFO
- Applications should be received by Saturday, Dec. 16 to ensure transportation for all eligible riders.
For more information contact MV Transportation, 930 E. 30th St. by phone at (785) 312-7054 or (785) 312-7063 (TDD).
Applications are also available at Independents Inc., 2001 Haskell Ave
Cottonwood Inc., 2801 W. 31st
The Senior Center, 745 Vermont
St.
MV Transportation, the city's public transportation contractor, is handling applications for the T Lift, said Mike Sweeten, MV division manager.
MV Transportation has 21 days to process an application but will allow riders to use the system on a temporary basis until the application is complete. Sweenen said that about 320 people, including some KU students, use the current system and that he expected more for the T Lift.
KU on Wheels has a similar program for students with permanent or temporary disabilities, called KU LiftVan. The LiftVan usually has four to 12 riders per semester, said Holly Krebs, KU on Wheels coordinator. Krebs said the KU LiftVan dealt better with temporary disabilities such as sprained ankles.
"Our rules are a little more lenient and understanding for students," Krebs said. "Our system helps students for academic purposes, but obviously those students need transportation for nonacademic reasons, and I think the city service will provide for those needs."
Karin Rexroad, Lawrence public transit administrator, said only 100 people had applied for the T Lift. Eligibility will not be transferred from the Kaw Regional Transit.
"Unless people have an application in before Dec. 16, they'll be without a ride," Rexroad said. One-way rides on the T Lift will cost $1.

Lawrence Salvation Army bell ringers generate thousands of dollars but have to fight to avoid blending into the holiday backdrop
By Dan Curry
Special to Kansan
This is why Mable Riley is the best Salvation Army bell ringer in Lawrence:
Inside the Dillons at 4701 W. 6th St. there will be the smell of piled bananas, of celery, there will be the sound of the whirring rubber mat, of a clerk shaking out a paper sack. The temperature and humidity won't change. Time hardly passes.
Step through the sliding doors, though, and there beside the Pepsi machine, under the cold yellow lights, to the left of the firewood for sale, ringing her bells, singing her made-up songs, is Mable Riley and her red kettle.
Again and again, she chants her mantra: "Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. Have a merry Christmas and a happy New Year. God loves ya. God loves ya."
She wears a hooded sweatshirt. She holds a tiny tea cup in a hooked finger.
"I jump up and down and act crazy," Riley says, her breath in blue clouds. "I can't stand still. I can't get cold. I dance around. I shake the bells. I switch up."
People call Riley "The Boogie-Woogie Lady."
Not another Christmas ornament
Riley collects twice as many donations as the other 29 bell-ringers in Lawrence in half the time, says Capt. Sharon Young, the director of the Lawrence Salvation Army. The group could use more like her.
But while the Salvation Army's widespread visibility and golden-hearted reputation serves it well, the bell ringers' solid integration into Christmas tradition can hamper their ability to stand out among rampant Yuletide fanfare.
In the days between Thanksgiving and Christmas, the Lawrence Salvation Army hopes to collect $145,000 to fund its religious denomination and its humanitarian services, Young said. It is the Salvation Army's primary source of revenue, accounting for at least a third of its operating costs.
Even the anticipation of a holiday inspires a complete and immediate revolution in decor. Come Halloween, cardboard witches soar into vogue. Come Thanksgiving, cardboard turkeys take up roost. For Christmas, the faux evergreen will wind along the window sills.
in this environment, a Salvation Army bell ringer has one directive:
Don't become another Christmas ornament.
sharing is caring
GOD bless you...
"need has no season"
"Ring the bell gently," urges the Salvation Army bell-ringer instruction pamphlet, "but be creative."

'The scraggly ole Santa'
For many people, the bell-ringing gets annoying, and bell ringers who aren't engaged in their occupation are disheartening.
"Sometimes there are high school students that ring the bells outside the grocery store where I work, and they act like they don't even care," said Carrie Rupp, Overland Park freshman. "I normally avoid them."
"There is nothing worse than trying to conduct a conversation while having a nonexperienced bell ringer trying to get your attention by being obnoxious," Williams said. "He or she needs to be a steady, firm ringer."
Jacob Williams, Topeka freshman, said that he needed more than bell-ringing to make him donate — the bell ringers needed to have style.
"For me to give money," he adds, "they got to have moxie!"
Gerry Cain, assistant professor of strategic communications, said that the Salvation Army's name recognition was admirable but that more innovation might be in order.
"What materialistic American doesn't recognize the significance of
the scraggly ole' Santa, standing next to that bright red kettle-in-a-tripod, ringing that annoying — but somehow heartening — bell?" Cain said. "It brings tears to the eyes of real shoppers."
But Cain said that the Salvation Army might want to try a few new strategies, such as finding better-looking Santas or an interactive promotion with an retro theme song, such as Anita Ward's "You Can Ring My Bell."
On a more serious note, Cain suggested the Salvation Army encourage their bell ringers to target children.
"Kids love to give," Cain said. "Especially when it's not their own money."
Aiming for children
Targeting children, however, is something the bell ringers are already doing.
As a rule, Young would bring her daughter with her when she used to ring the bells in Battle Creek, Mich.
"I took a child with me because a child always draws them in," Young said.
said:
"It's kind of deceitful," she said. "It's kind of a trick, but you draw the children to the kettle, and then the kids will go to their mothers and say, 'Let's give something,' and then they do."
The Salvation Army bell-ringer instruction pamphlet advises, "Talk to the children and let them ring the bell. These things will encourage people to contribute to this important fund-raising effort."
Personal appearance and attitude are also important factors in effective fund-raising. Young said.
The Salvation Army doesn't look for individuals who will look shabby and inspire sympathy. Young said.
"We want people who look interested," Young said. "We tell them not to stand there slumped with their hands in their pockets. Their posture should be straight. They're well-groomed. Granted, some of ours aren't really well-groomed, but we give them a chance."
More important to Young is attitude, she said, and this was where she mentioned the Boogie-Woogle Lady.
"She just gives the appearance that she loves what she's doing." Young said. "She's always bubbly, always up."
Stopping and dancing
kney is singing and ringing while the wind blows leaves and litter across the parking lot.
Two college-aged hipsters approach from the parking lot, one a narrow-shouldered boy in a black turtleneck, the other wearing heavy black frames on his nose. Otherwise, they are identical.
"You two going to sing and dance with me?" she asks.
"I said, are you going to sing the 'Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, Boogle Woogie'?"
"Maybe later," one says. They step through the sliding doors.
"Maye later," one says. "They step
later." Be dead and gone later!" Riley shouts. "I'll be stretched out
and dead."
On their way out, the two men don't acknowledge Riley But other people do, and her kettle grows heavy.

Kansan sportswriter
WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — The Jayhawks' first loss of the season resembled more of a one-sided western shootout than a big-time college basketball game.
No. 11 Wake Forest (7-0) fired the first shot and the last shot, and in between, the Jayhawks didn't even draw their guns in an 84-53 whipping by the Demon Deacons.
"They totally kicked our tails in every way possible," Kansas coach Roy Williams said, pointing out after the contest what the gathering of 12,143 already knew.
'That much was obvious from the opening tip, as Kansas' cold 36 percent first-half shooting led to a 13-point halftime deficit.
"We were running around like chickens, with our heads cut off," said sophomore forward Drew Gooden, who led the Jayhawks with 13 points. "We just weren't ready to play."
The No. 3 Jayhawks (7-1) were out-rebounded, outhustled, outshot and thoroughly outplayed by the underdog Demon Deacons. The end result was the Jayhawks' second-worst loss in the 13-year tenure of Williams and a tie for the four-worst loss in the program's history.
Wake Forest 84
Kansas 53
But despite the frigid start, the Kansas players still believed they had a chance.
"At halftime, we said we were going to get the ball inside and get back in it," senior center Eric Chenowith said. "But we didn't do it."
Wake Forest followed a simple recipe for second-half success. Make the Jayhawks keep shooting fadeaway jumpers, grab the rebound, pass it to the first open man who, more times than not, would hit the open shot. The recipe was followed to a tee, as the Demon Deacons shot lights-out 68 percent in the second half, whereas Kansas could only muster 38 percent for the game
At the root of the Jayhawks' shooting woes was junior guard Jeff Boschee, who didn't hit a 3-pointer in seven attempts.
"They didn't miss." Chenowith said.
"But we also shot too early and too often. We had no flow."
"They took us out of everything that we wanted to do." Boschee said.
tistics didn't get much better from there.
Wake Forest's rebounding margin of 17 boards was the largest margin since Kansas lost to Indiana in 194. But the sta-
didn't get much better from there. By the time the 31-point root canal was completed, the Jayhawks had tallied their third straight loss to a ranked team on the other team's home court, after equally stunning setbacks at Oklahoma State and Texas last season. With last night's loss, Kansas' average margin of defeat in those three games is 26 points.
After the game, the Wake Forest students stormed the court to celebrate the victory, and Demon Deacon coach Dave Odom left his condolences for the Javhawks.
The Jayhawks won't have much time to find an answer for their road woes. Kansas plays Tuesday at DePaul. In the meantime, the Jayhawks return to Kansas with their tails between their legs, desperately searching for answers.
"The most absurd thing that I heard tonight was our crowd chanting, 'overrated.'" Odom said. "I turned to them and said, 'I hope not.' What you saw tonight was a Kansas team that was way off its game."
"Obviously, we just didn't play tonight," senior forward Luke Axtell said. "I still haven’t figured out just what the heck happened out there."
Gregory feels Kansas' pain in first defeat

WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — As the herd of reporters neared his locker after last night's game, frustrated senior forward Kenny Gregory turned his back.
"I don't want to talk," Gregory said. "I didn't even play."
But the fact that Gregory sat the bench in last night's 84-53 loss to Wake Forest was the reason behind all of the attention. After practicing lightly all week, Gregory

Gregory: didn't play last night because of injury
out last night's game because of a stress fracture in his right foot. Without Gregory in the lineup, the flustered Jayhawks (7-1) couldn't get anything started offensively and fell victim to the Demon Deacons' stifling defense.
Eventually, Gregory explained his disappointment.
"I felt helpless," Gregory said. "I just took (the injury) day by day, but it just didn't happen."
Gregory, trainer Mark Cairns, and Kansas coach Roy Williams didn't decide until minutes before the game that Gregory wouldn't play. Senior forward Luke Axtell started in his place and gave the Jayhawks some firepower early, but, just like the rest of the Jayhawks, faded in the second half.
Still, Williams insisted Gregory's absence wasn't the cause of the loss.
"Using it would just be an excuse," Williams said. "Kenny is a heck of a player, but he wasn't going to help that much. They just kicked us."
"If it felt better, I would have attempted to play." Gregory said. "All I can do is get as much rest as possible. But if it keeps lingering, then I'll have to sit out more."
Reaction in the Kansas locker room was swift to Gregory's absence. Some players mirrored Williams' sentiments and felt Gregory's injury had no effect at all, but others said the shock of losing their leading scorer lofted the team.
"Kenny is our offense," said senior center Eric Chenwihot. "He's leading the team in scoring." —Edited by Shawn Hutchinson
Women to play Washburn in exhibition
By Zac Hunter
Kansan sportswriter
sports@kanson.com
After playing five high-intensity games in eight days, it's time for the Kansas women's basketball team to play a game that doesn't matter.
Or, at least as far as the record books are concerned, the game doesn't matter. The 'Hawks (5-2) are set to take on Division II Washburn in an exhibition game tomorrow at 2:05 p.m. at Allen Fieldhouse.
Washburn is 5-1 on the season after winning two games in the Drury Classic last weekend against Arkansas-Monticello and Angelo State. Although the Arkansas-
"Washburn has always been a great Division II program," Kansas coach Marian Washington said.

for Washburn, they are nowhere near the level of Kansas.
Despite the mismatches, Washington did have high praise for the way Washburn was coached and said she thought the Lady Blues would play hard.
100%
Washington:
praised the coaching at Washburn
The reason for scheduling Washburn was two-fold. The contest provided a game during an extended break in the 'Hawks schedule. Without it, Kansas would have gone two weeks without playing.
And Washington said it was difficult to get teams to go on the road during finals week.
"We had a difficult time getting a team to come in here," she said.
Although the game will count for nothing in the standings, Washington said anytime the Jayhawks got a chance to play it could be a valuable learning tool.
With the game meaning nothing, could Kansas come out flat?
Not if you ask Washington.
I can't allow them to let down," she said. Senior guard Jennifer Jackson said the team would use every game to get better.

said. "To get a team like Washburn in here for an exhibition that maybe doesn't count on our record I think is just another opportunity for us to get better."
As a result, Washington said she was going to use this game to work on the half-court defense and insert some players in the lineup that hadn't played much the past two weeks.
Washington wants to see improved the half-court defense improved. The 'Hawkia' have had problems dealing with teams that have quick guards.

Best game or match played on campus: The volleyball team's victory against Colorado at the Horesei Family Athletic Center. The 'Hawks had not beaten Colorado since 1987. The Jayhawks won in five matches and also finished with a winning record for a second straight year. It's a safe bet coach Ray Bechard will have many more winning seasons while at Kansas. He won't match his 716-60 record at Barton County Community College, but he'll continue to win in Lawrence.
Presenting the best and worst of fall sports
My how time flies when you're having
My new time come up. When
... finals come up. Although Stop Day is
welcome, another week to prepare
wouldn't be too bad. Yeah, so that won't
be happening, but before you cram,
take a gander at the fall semester in review.
Worst game or match played on campus: the football game against Texas. The 'Hawks squandered a 14-0 lead faster than a Jayhawk fan awakes from fall hibernation for basketball season. Kansas endured a 51-16 drubbing from the Longhorns and were once again denied a bowl game. The season was a huge disappointment, but perhaps no expectations for next year will translate into a surprise winning season. Perhaps.
You're good but not quite what we're looking for: Senior outside hitter Amy Myatt sets a Kansas volleyball record for most kills in a season with 457 but doesn't get any all-conference honors. No other Jayhawks grabbed honors, either, a questionable snub to a team with talent. Senior middle blocker Danielle Geronymo and senior outside hitter Nancy Bell also provided kills that occasionally murdered opponents, and freshman sensation Sarah Rome will be fun to watch the next three years.
Runnin' against the wind: Men's cross country runner Charlie Gruber ran at the NCAA Championships in frigid Ames, Iowa on Nov. 20. The lone Jayhawk in the meet, Gruber finished in 61st. 70 seconds behind first place.
Thank you, Mr. Megavision: A thou sand thanks to the operators of the powerful sound system at Memorial Stadium for not asking that question heard far too many times at sporting events lately: "Who Let the Dogs Out?" (It wasn't me.) "Who Let the Dogs Out?" (It wasn't me.) A little more AC/DC, specifically "You Shook Me All Night Long." would help next year.
And the band played on: The marching band's return to the student section halfway through the season was refreshing. Sitting among a sea of purple for the Kansas State game probably wasn't enjoyable for the musicians. If only they'd have people to play for ...
Best restaurant in an opponent's town: Although The Mont in Norman, Okla., had scrumptious Mexican food, Hickory Park in Ames, Iowa took the cake. Two colleagues and I ate meals consisting of pork tenderloin, beef brisket, four ribs, chicken and two side orders—each. No one had a coronary, but I think we devoured the equivalent of a small farm.
Best comment by a disgruntled reader: Following the Sunflower Showdown column for football, a Kansas State fan informed me that he wasn't a fair-fairweather K-State fan and that he rooted for the Wildcats long before the "Schneider" era, referring to Wildcat coach Bill Snyer. A spelling bee wizard he is not. Another K-State fan enjoyed the column's attempt at energizing the rivalry. He wrote about a sign in Lawrence a few years ago that read: Manhattan — where men are men and sheep are nervous.
Best comment from a sportswriter: During the Texas Tech game, a discussion in the press box involved corporate sponsorship of everything. From the Coca-Cola Caught Red-Handed campaign to the Southwestern Bell receiver of the game, products and companies sponsor everything. With that in mind, football writer Jason Franchuk said, "It's time for the Viagra Injury Timeout — C'mon, hurry, get up!"
Good times, neat fun.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Dec. 8). Don't give up, even if hope seems gone. Your goal just takes longer to reach than you thought. December's enthusiasm sees on track in February but runs into problems in May. Your dreams are crumbling, but don't give up. Imagine that dream dust is clay and recyclable. With the help of a mate, spit and elbow grease, build a work of art in June. Turn a profit by July, and celebrate with best friends in October.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7.
If you're involved with a team project, take care.
There are lots of ways for the group to fund its next endeavor. Don't try to pay for the whole thing yourself. If you share the load with others, it'll be easier for everyone to bear.
Fourus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6.
This is a great time to work on your budget. You might start out feeling restricted, but you'll end up feeling proud of yourself. Having rules to live by is a lot more fun when you make up the rules!
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7. Something must get done, and do it now. No more extensions or excuses. If you're feeling pressed, ask for help. The right person may have been advising you on this task all along. Tomorrow is better for travel.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
You face a new challenge so your old routine may not work quite as well as usual. Don't believe friends who say a tough job can't be done. Watch what they do, and do something else.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
An older person needs what you've promised to produce. Even though you've lost interest, pretend you're fascinated by your responsibilities. Schedule your meeting with the person who's really got your attention for tomorrow.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.
Is family coming to visit, but things are not quite fixed up the way you wanted? A friend would love to help. You've helped this person in a pinch before, so don't hesitate to ask.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 7.
Do you have a romantic weekend planned? If not,
set one up. Then pay your bills and do your shopping.
Conditions now are better for practical matters.
Tomorrow and Sunday are better for fun.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
Household expenses may cost more than planned due to a technical breakdown. If you're running short on cash, ask a partner — it may be the bank — for help. Sell something this weekend, if you want, even your accounts.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 5.
It'll be hard to hide today, so be careful. Don't try out a new procedure in front of everyone. Practice a few times in private instead. Wait until you know it works, and you know how to work it!
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
You are a stabilizing influence as well as an authority figure. Others are having fits, so it's important for you to stay calm. Don't bail them out financially, though. It's not a good way to teach them the lesson they're learning.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
You're running into a bit of resistance — perhaps from the folks you love most. If your family or roommates don't go along with your latest scheme, relax It does need a little revision. Next time, don't show them unfinished work.
2
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6.
It may be hard to figure out what an older person wants you to do — especially as the instructions may be changing. Also, it looks as though your normal routine won't work in this situation. Ask for clear directions and follow them. It'll be easier that way.

Gwynn accepts contract, will stay in San Diego
SAN DIEGO — Tony Gwynn will play a 20th season with the San Diego Padres after all.
A free agent for the first time in his
he first time in his the career, the 40-year-old Gwynn decided yesterday to accept an
incentive-laden $2 million, one-year contract that would be worth $5.7 million if he gets 600 plate appearances.
"it's good to have this behind us," general manager Kevin Towers said. "From a baseball standpoint, if Tony's as healthy as he says he is right now, our ball club will be a much better ball club with him in the middle of our lineup once again. He's going to be out there everyday unless he saus can't."
Gwynn has a career .338 average, 3,108 hits and eight NL batting titles.
He wasn't immediately available for comment, but was to attend an afternoon news conference.
It always seemed that Gwynn would finish his Hall of Fame career in San Diego. But that wasn't so certain in the last several months, when Gwynn's troublesome left knee led the Padres to believe he wasn't an everyday player anymore.

Gooden, another of the eight players the Yankees added after spring training, agreed to a minor league deal.
"Luis is a versatile veteran infielder and a proven winner who gives us stability and flexibility at a number of positions," Yankees general manager Brian Cashman said. "He has made positive contributions both on the field and in the clubhouse during the past five years and we are excited to have him returning for 2001."

Don Nelson, although not putting off treatment for prostate cancer, still has optimistic plans for late April.
It appears likely that Nelson will miss some games, but the extent of any absence he will be determined by what treatment he pursues. His options include surgery and radiation.
The coach met with his doctor Wednesday to discuss the discovery. Nelson said the cancer was detected early and hasn't spread.
If Nelson has surgery similar to what New York Yankees manager Joe Torre underwent, the recovery time could be up to two months. Nelson said he planned to seek a second doctor's opinion and also hoped to talk with Torre.

HOUSTON — When high school linebacker Jamal Reynolds arrived at Florida State, he was moved to defensive end. Like most decisions made by the Seminoles, it was a great switch.
The senior has been chasing quarterbacks ever since, and on Wednesday night he was rewarded by winning the Lombardi Award as the nation's top college lineman.
"Awards are not everything, and I couldn't have gotten this without the team, but it's a great honor." Revnoils said.
He won out over three other finalists, center Ben Hamilton of Minnesota, guard Steve Hutchinson of Michigan and center Dominic Raiol of Nebraska.
At 6-foot 4, 265 pounds, Reynolds would be small for an NFL defensive end and thinks he might be moved to linebacker.
The Seminoles rank sixth nationally in total defense and second in scoring defense. Reynolds, the team's sack leader, has been a big part of their success en route to an 11-1 record and a spot in the Orange Bowl on Wednesday, Jan. 3 against No. 1 Oklahoma.
"I'm not a huge guy, and I am mobile enough to move around and play some linebacker," he
'Awards are not
a great honor."
"Awards are not everything, and I couldn't have gotten this without the team,but it's a great honor."
Jamal Reynolds Florida State senior lineman
said.
Reynolds can bench press 525 pounds, runs the 40-year dash in 4.4 seconds and has a 39-inch vertical leap.
Seminoles assistant coach Jim Gladden said Reynolds would make a good rush end in the pros, and he hopes his future team doesn't try to move him back to linebacker despite his athletic skills.
"Jamal needs to have that 4.4 speed going toward the quarterback and not fiddling around," Gladden said. "When you take him away from that and back him up, that's like taking the dog out of the hunt. That's my way of thinking."
Reynolds had 12 sacks this season for 74 vards in losses.
Raiola anchored the Cornhuskers offensive line that led the nation in rushing, averaging 355 yards per game and 6
yards per attempt. He has 145 pancake blocks this season and has been in double figures in 10 of 11 games.
games.
Raiola is the 10th Nebraska player to be named a finalist. Four Nebraska players have won the award. Raiola also was trying to become the second center to win the award. Nebraska's Dave Rimington won the honor in 1982.
Hamilton has been so consistent in his past three seasons, he has allowed just one sack and has been penalized only one time this season.
He's helped the Golden Gophers average more than 400 yards of total offense this season. Minnesota will play North Carolina State in the Micronpc.com Bowl.
Hutchinson has made 44 career starts for the Wolverines and helped Michigan average over 450 yards in total offense. He would have been the first Lombardi winner for the Wolverines. Michigan is preparing to play Auburn in the Citrus Bowl.
Reynolds' brother Diron played at Wake Forest, and now is its linebackers coach. Another brother, Rashad, played at Rice. Both were in the audience for the ceremony.
"I guess I have to thank my two brothers for beating me up all my life." Reynolds said. "And without my team, I wouldn't be here."

Fans can still watch games while away from Lawrence
Bv Jason Franchuk
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Regardless of where Kansas fans are for winter break, there are places to congregate with other Heathawk fans to watch college basketball games.
Major metropolitan cities like New York and Los Angeles have at least one sports bar that will show Kansas games on television, regardless if they are on national TV stations like ESPN or ABC. Although it's not a guarantee, satellite options at many bars across the country allow them the choice of showing the KU games.
The Adams Alumni Center has free pamphlets that detail cities, names, telephone numbers and addresses of places to watch Kansas basketball away from Lawrence. Included on the sheet are men's and women's basketball schedules and rosters as well as a long listing of places to watch games. Most locations are in major U.S. cities.
Susan Elkins, program director of KU Info, said operators received many calls from out-of-state students and alumni wondering when games were on.
"We get calls from all over the world," she said. "Not many of them deal with basketball, but it happens occasionally."
MADNESS
Ryan Kenny, Denver senior, said that he would be interested in getting together with other Kansas fans to watch games. Denver has at least one location for Jaxbawks fans to assimilate.
"If it's going to give a lively atmosphere, it'd be a good place to be," he said.
Kenny thinks what will draw fans more than anything is a good game.
"If KU's playing a tough opponent or a good opponent, a lot more students would want to watch it," he said.

After playing regular season games for almost a month, the Jayhawks will play host to Washburn at 2:05 p.m. tomorrow in Allen Fieldhouse.

Both teams are coming off an exhausting schedule. The 'Hawks recently finished five games in eight days, and the Lady Blues played five games in 10 days.
Washburn (5-1) might be from the MIAA conference, but it has shown it is not a team that can be taken too lightly on the court.

trouble. They are outscoring their opponents by 7.6 points per game and are shooting 44.5 percent from the field.
Besides scoring from the field,
they are also adding up points on
the free-throw line. Washburn is
shooting 68.6 percent from the line.
The Lady Blues have four players who average double-figures. Jodi Rausch, senior guard, leads Washburn in scoring, averaging 14 points and five rebounds per game.
Chapman shot the winning basket with four seconds left that gave the Lady Blues a 69-86 win against Angelo State in the Drury Classic in Springfield, Mo.
"We're excited to play Kansas. It's going to be an experience playing in their gym," she said. "Kansas is bigger than us and this experience will help us as we go through the MIAA season."
Kristy Chapman, sophomore guard, averages 24.8 minutes off the bench and is the team's second leading scorer, averaging 12.5 points per game.
Washburn's Jennifer Butcher, senior forward, agreed that this game would help the Lady Blues against teams in their own conference.
"It's a good opportunity for us," he said. "It's a good chance to play one of the top programs in the country. It should be a good experience for us down the road in conference play."

Washburn coach Ron McHenry said that his team was looking forward to this game and that it would be a good game for his players to gain experience.
The last time these two teams met was in the 1974-75 season. Kansas dominates the series 7-0.

PITTSBURGH — Maybe only Mario Lemieux already the king of comebacks, could pull this off.
Lemieux, who came back from cancer and a one-year layoff from back pain to be hockey's dominant player before retiring at age 31 in 1997, will return to the Pittsburgh Penguins in a one-of-a-kind role: player-owner.
The news of his comeback, which the Penguins will officially announce today, sent shock waves through the Pittsburgh dressing room yesterday. It also is a huge publicity jolt for the NHL, which has struggled since the retirements of Lemieux and Wayne Gretzky to find a marketable superstar.

Lemieux's return to the ice probably won't occur until the end of the month — he needs about three weeks of hard, physical work in practice to get into game shape. But it will be hockey's equivalent to Michael Jordan leaving the owner's box and putting
Lemieux: returns to hockey after battling cancer
on a jersey again.
Super Mario, indeed.
Super Mario Jr. needed.
History will be made the first time the Hall of Famer pulls down his retired No. 66 from Mellon Arena's rafters and wears it again, if only because he will be the first in the modern era to own a major pro sports team and play for it at the same time.
They reached the second round of the playoffs without him the last two seasons, and are 13-10-3 and in second place in the Atlantic Division going into tomorrow's game at Toronto.
Lemieux may have had another reason to return. He has told friends his 6-year-old son, Austin, who already is skating, has asked why he doesn't play anymore.
In 1993, he was diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease, cancer of the lymph nodes, and missed much of that season. He sat out the 1994-95 season after recovering from the cancer and a second bout with back trouble, but returned to lead the Penguins to within one victory of a third trip to the Stanley Cup finals in 1996.
Guards: Jayhawk shooting guard KC Hilkenamp is hitting on better than 50 percent of her shots, including 8-of-10 from three-point range. She and the rest of the Kansas guards should have a field day. Advantage: Kansas.

Forwards: Jaclyn Johnson has tallied more than 20 points four times this season, and the Lady Blues are small on the interior. Johnson should have her 20 points in about 15 minutes. Advantage: Kansas.

Women, minority directors lacking report concludes
By Lunn Elber The Associated Press
LOS ANGELES — The entertainment industry hasn't lived up to its vow to hire more women and minorities for directing jobs, according to a new report from the Directors Guild of America.
The job rate for women film directors dropped in 1999 from the year before, while the rate for minority directors nudged upward only slightly, according to guild figures released late Wednesday.
"The employers have repeatedly promised to do everything they can to provide more opportunities for women and minorities to establish their careers as members of the directorial team," said Jack Shea, guild president. "This report clearly shows they are not actively pursuing the fulfillment of that promise."
Women film directors accounted for 7.4 percent of the total days worked by guild directors during 1999, down from 8.5 percent in 1998
African-American directors netted small gains in the film area, with 5.4 percent of the total days worked in 1999 compared with 4.2 percent the previous year.
Offsetting that gain, however was a drop in hiring of African-Americans for TV tape production jobs, such as reality programs, the report said. Women directors, in contrast, enjoyed a hiring boost in the TV tape arena.
African-American directors for TV tape projects worked 2.4 percent of the total worked by guild directors in 1999, down from 6 percent in 1998 and the lowest employment level for black tape directors since 1990.

Directors Guild of America president
come under fire from minority groups who say the industry fails to reflect the nation's racial diversity. Last year, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People joined forces with other civil rights groups to foster diversity in broadcast television.
A call to the NAACP's Beverly Hills office placed after business hours Wednesday rang unanswered.
Other findings from the guild's report:
Hispanic directors worked 1.1 percent of total guild director workdays in 1999, down from 1.9 percent the year before, while in tape they worked 3 percent of total days worked, down from 3.7 percent in 1998.
Asian-American film directors worked 1.5 percent of total 1999 workdays, up from 1.1 percent in '98, while tape directors worked 1.8 percent in 1999, up from 1.7 percent the year before.
A bright spot was the increase in the percentage of total days worked by women tape directors, which rose from 15.8 percent in 1998 to 22.3 percent last year.
"These disappointing employment figures only serve to strengthen the DGA's commitment to leveling the playing field for women and minorities in all guild categories," said Martha Coolidge, guild first vice president.

Angelina Jolie plays game hero in Tomb Raider
By Christy Lemire The Associate Press
NEW YORK — Angelina Jolie is nervous.
In a phone interview this week from London, where she was wrapping up filming on Tomb Raider, Jolie said a lot of decisions went into taking Lara Croft from the computer screen to the silver screen.
Yes, you read that right. The Oscar-winning, headline-grabbing actress is actually worried about how her turn as popular video-game heroine Lara Croft will be received when the movie version of *Tomb Raider* hits theaters in June.
"There are so many people who love this game," she said. "She's their girl, and you don't want to take away the thing they love about her. You hope you do justice to what everyone wanted. You pray you got it right."
Lara Croft is the star of Eidos Interactive's Tomb Raider video-game series, which has generated $500 million in sales since its 1996 debut. She's an archaeologist, photojournalist and British aristocrat, who travels the globe (wearing tight clothes, of course) seeking adventure.
She's a woman, and she's curvy and cheeky and playful and wicked, and we didn't try to make her macho."
"We decided she was human now, and she wasn't perfect. I gained weight and worked out, and my shape changed," she said.
Although she couldn't divulge much about the plot, Jolie, 25, said the role was one of the most physically demanding of her career.She had to learn boxing, kickboxing, yoga, bungee ballet, dogsledding, gymnastics and weapons training - some of which she already knew as an avid dagger collector.
"It's like joining the army," she said. "I almost recommend to everyone sending themselves off to some insane boot camp and traveling the world and taking themselves out of their normal life and getting free."

Sooner's Heupel wins AP award
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Josh Heuplest
remarkable two-year stay at
Oklahoma is nearly finished. All he
needs is one more win — against
Florida State in the Orange Bowl on
Wednesday, Jan. 3 — to make it all
worthwhile.
"We've had a great year so far, but we have one game remaining," he said. "Winning a national championship would be the perfect ending to a journey that no one even thought we'd be taking."
Because of Heupel's ability to produce the big play whenever it was needed, the top-trained Sooners (12-0) swept through the season undefeated and will play for their first national title since 1985.
"There comes a time in each game when the quarterback usually has to make a play to put your team in position to win," said Chuck Long, Oklahoma's quarterback coach. "Josh Heupel did that."
Yesterday, Heupel won the Associated Press' College Player of the Year award in balloting by AP-member newspapers, TV and radio stations.
The left-hander from Aberdeen,
S.D., completed 280 of 433 passes for
3,392 yards and 20 touchdowns, and
ran for six scores. In the Sooners' 27
24 win against Kansas State in the Big 12 title game Saturday, he overcame a season-high three interceptions with two scoring passes and a TD run.
Heupel, who spends a season at Snow Junior College in Utah before arriving at Oklahoma in 1999, received 30 of the 82 votes in the AP balloting. Florida *$state quarterback Chris Welnke was second with 17 votes and Texas Christian running back LaDainian Tomlinson was third with 9.
Whether it was his pinpoint passing against Texas, Kansas State and Nebraska, or crucial third-down dashes in a comeback win at Texas A&M, Heupel made plays when it counted most.
Oklahoma averaged 44 points in its firstfour wins against Texas-ELPaso, Arkansas State, Rice and Kansas, but then came No.11 Texas, followed by No.2 Kansas State and No.1 Nebraska.
No problem. In those three games, Heupel was Heisman-like, completing 66 of 108 passes for 949 yards, four TDs and just one interception. The Sooners beat the Longhorns 63-14, the Wildcats 41-31 and the Cornhuskers 31-14 — and worked their way up from No. 19 in the AP preseason play to No. 1.
The going got tough against Texas

A&M, Texas Tech and Oklahoma State, but Heupel, despite an ailing throwing arm, still came through.
He rallied the Sooners from a 24-10 deficit against the Aggies for a 35-31 win in a game played before the largest crowd to watch a game in the state of Texas (87,188). Long remember two key plays by Heupel
When Bob Stoops was hired at Oklahoma for the '99 season, he persuaded Heupel to bring his passing talents to Norman. Heupel threw for 3,400 yards and 30 TDs in a 7-5 season, and this year he's got the Sooners' on the verge of a national title.
— both on third down and both on a drive that pulled the Sooners to 31-28.
"His play through the entire year and his winning speak volumes, and that's what people have recognized," Stoops said. "They see what he's done. He's brought a team that was ranked 20th in the country to No. 1 in the nation the last six weeks, and he's the main reason."
NEW YORK — When the season started, Florida State's Chris Weinke was among a handful of Heisman Trophy favorites. Oklahoma's Josh Heupel was an afterthought — at best.
On Saturday night, the two quarterbacks who led their teams to a national championship game in the Orange Bowl on Wednesday, Jan. 3 could end up in one of the closest Heisman races in history.
The Associated Press
Heisman race too close to predict
"I have no idea how it's going to come out," said Florida State coach Bobby Bowden. "You've got one who has taken his team to an undefeated season and has done everything you've got to do to get there. Then you've got the other who has played superlative football and is unique in his age."
Perfect season honors go to Heupel, who threw for 3,392 yards and 20 touchdowns in leading No.1 Oklahoma (12-0) to the brink of its first national championship since 1985.
Weinke, at the ripe old age of 28,
led the nation with 4,167 yards
passing and threw 33 touchdowns
with 11 interceptions. After
spending six years playing minor-
league baseball, Weinke returned
to Florida State in '97 and is trying to bring a second straight national title to the third-ranked Seminoles (11-1).
"Both candidates are deserving," said Oklahoma coach Bob Stoops. "They're both excellent players and very valuable to the team."
Purdue quarterback Drew Brees and Texas Christian running back LaDainian Tomlinson are the other Heisman finalists but are considered long shots based on several Heisman surveys.
Brees led the Boilermakers (8-3) to a Rose Bowl berth against Washington by throwing for 3,393 yards and 24 touchdowns; Tomlinson topped the nation in rushing with 2,158 yards — the fourth-best single-season total in I-A history — and scored 22 TDs. The Horned Frogs (10-1) play Southern Mississippi in the Mobile Alabama Bowl.
The closest Heisman voting was Bo Jackson's 45-point win against Chuck Long in 1985; the second tightest was Ernie Davis of Syracuse beating Bob Ferguson of Ohio State by 52 points in 1961.

the voters had responded, according to New York's Downtown Athletic Club, which presents the trophy to the "Outstanding Football Player of the United States."
Weinke finished his season by passing for 353 yards and three TDs in a 30-7 win against Florida on Nov. 18. Heupel closed out his season. Saturday by overcoming three interceptions and throwing for two TDs and running for another as Oklahoma beat Kansas State 27-14 in the Big 12 title game.
Internet and newspaper Heisman polls indicate the race is too close to call. In the most recent HeismanWatch.com poll, Heuplup was ahead of Weinke by three points based on ballots from 48 Heisman voters, but surveys by the Tallahassee Democrat and Tampa Tribune had Weinke with a slight edge.

Man dies in front of friends
By Kursten Phelps writer at kanson.com Kanson staff writer
A 20-year-old Lawrence man died early Saturday morning, possibly from a heart attack. His death is under investigation.
Matthew Ray Michael, who lived at Jefferson Commons apartments, 2511 W. 31st St., collapsed and died at his apartment.
Roommate Rachel Meyer said she and a third roommate, Nicholas Autry, would be enrolled at the University in the spring. Michael was not a KU student.
Autry said he and others at the apartment thought at first that Michael might be suffering alcohol poisoning. But when the paramedics arrived, they told Autry
and his roommate that Michael may have had a heart attack, Autry said.
According to the police report, Michael collapsed between 12:35 and 12:50 a.m. Saturday at his apartment.
Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department said the death was being investigated and that more information would be available today.
Meyer said Michael had not consumed much alcohol.
"He really hadn't been drinking that much. He was in no way drunk enough for anyone to be concerned," she said. "He was talking fine, walking fine. His collapsing really took everyone by surprise. It was totally unexpected."
ran in the family. It's a real tragedy."
"As far as we know, a poor heart kind of
Meyer said his collapse was unexpected. "We were just hanging out with some friends, having a good time and joking around with some friends, and he suddenly just collapsed over into a chair," she said. "He pretty much immediately stopped breathing, and his heart stopped beating. We called 911 and started doing resuscitation."
Autry attended high school with Michael in Iola.
"He was a great person and very personable," he said. "He was fun-loving and fun to be around. Everybody love him. He was an excellent person to be around."
Kristin Murray, Iola junior, said police were still at the apartment when she arrived at 2 a.m., but paramedics had
already taken Michael to a Topeka coroner for an autopsy.
Murray said she had known Michael since they attended kindergarten together and that he was a caring person with a lot of friends.
"He had the heartiest laugh," she said. It was deep and heartfelt. He had so many friends that loved him."
Danielle Daugharthy, tola junior, said Michael was a genuine person who liked to rebuild cars.
"I remember one time he designed 'cruise night,' she said. "He wanted everyone to cruise the main square, and he did it, and everyone was out there."
Meyer said a funeral was scheduled for 1:30 p.m. tomorrow in Iola.

Web sites, credit cards make sports gambling a problem at universities
By Jason Franchuk
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Scott recalls numerous Saturdays he spent sitting at his computer with the sports section of his newspaper and a cold Corona within reach. But his fingers instead were clutching the mouse, poised to click in another $150 wager.
First bitten by the gambling bug when he visited Las Vegas with three buddies for a spring break trip, the then 19-year-old no longer had to leave his own apartment to bet on college sports. Between Internet betting and visits to Kansas City casinos, it didn't take him long to lose several thousand dollars that he had saved for college and run up $3,000 in credit card debt. He withdrew from the University and moved back to Colorado, too embarrassed about what had happened to want his name used in this story.
Scott, like many KU students, bet regularly on college sports. Just as it has been with pornography, the Internet has made gambling accessible to anyone anywhere who has a computer, Internet service and a credit card. Such gambling remains illegal in Kansas — and

Winter weather to chill students' last days of class
By Leita Schultes
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Winter weather has arrived, and for most students, the major challenge will be braving wind, ice and snow as they head up the hill to hand in final papers and walk to review sessions.
The National Weather Service predicted freezing drizzle and snow for yesterday, with blowing and drifting snow last night into this morning.
The snow is predicted to taper off to flurries by noon today, but there is a chance of snow for the rest of the week. Temperatures in the teens and wind chills well below zero will be also expected to greet students as they walk to their last few classes of the semester.
Jeremy Cates, Tonganoxie senior, makes the near 20-mile commute to Lawrence on a daily basis, but said that the predicted five inches of snow would probably keep him at home.
He said he had a paper due but would probably just e-mail it to the professor.
"If I can make it, I'm going to assume that a lot of other people can't either," he said.
Holly Krebs, coordinator of KU on Wheels, said the day manager for the Lawrence Bus Company would be
be checking streets early this morning to decide if the buses would run.
"We will run unless it is unsafe to run," she said.
Krebs said if the buses did not run, KJHK and KU info would be contacted. She said that a few years ago snow kept the buses from running, which created some problems.
"I think it was because classes weren't canceled but the bus service was." she said.
THIS WEEK'S WEATHER
Tomorrow: Very cold. A chance for snow in western Kansas during the day and in eastern Kansas in the evening. Lows between 5 below and 5 above. Highs mainly in teens.
Wednesday: Continued cold temperatures with a chance for snow. Laws zero to 10 above. Highs 10 to 20.
Thursday: Still cold with a chance of flurries. Laws zero to 10 above. Highs 15 to 25.

In case of severe weather. Provost
David Shulenburger or Chancellor Hemenway will decide by 5:30 a.m. whether classes are canceled.
An snailburger or Chancellor Robert Heineman will decide by 5:30 a.m., whether classes are canceled. Trooper Paul Alexander of the Kansas Highway Patrol urged drivers to "just take it slow," and that an underlayer of sleet added to the danger of driving. He advised drivers to evaluate whether they really needed to be on the road.
"Don't travel unless you just have to." he said. "If you do have to travel, make sure you have a full tank of gas, good wipers, your car's in good running shape it wouldn't hurt to throw in a blanket or two."
Alexander said that the first storm of the year usually caught people off guard.
"First storm — they learn all over again how to drive on it," he said. "We'll probably have plenty of accidents or slideoffs."
With Stop Day not until Wednesday, most students won't have to worry about traveling home yet, and Joe McBride, representative for Kansas City International Airport, said they probably wouldn't have to worry about flights.
"The goal is to keep on top of it and keep the airport open and usually we do just that, he said."
The major issue when it comes to flying is a lack of visibility, which could delay flights. He said students concerned about flights should check with individual airlines, which are linked to kcairports.com.

Wescoe clears after bogus bomb threat
By Jason Krall
By Jason Krui
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The KU Public Safety Office still has no suspects in a bomb threat that prompted some instructors to evacuate their Wesco Hall classes Friday afternoon.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said the caller identified himself as a Palestinian and said there was a bomb in the building that would explode at 2:30 p.m. The man said he and other Palestinians had been discriminated against and wanted to retaliate. Mailen said. Police did not know if the caller was referring to discrimination at the University, he said.
A Wescoe Terrace cafeteria worker received the threat to Wescoe Hall around 1:30 p.m., and classes resumed at about 3 p.m.
Police left the decision about whether to evacuate classes in the building with department heads, Mailen said. Classes with exams in progress when the threat was called were moved to other locations to finish their exams, Mailen said.
Margaret Arnold, associate professor of English, was about halfway through a discussion with her honors proseminar when a police officer came to inform her of the threat.
Kitty Steffens, Lawrence junior, said students were very calm as they were informed about the threat and as they
left the building.
"Someone came in and said, 'There's a bomb threat; you might want to leave.'" Steffens said. "Nobody even raised their voice. I mean, we're standing 10 feet from the building. This wouldn't help us if a bomb exploded."
"I would have liked to have finished," Arnold said. "I felt it was my responsibility, in case it was real, to let them go."
Mailen said the decision by the public safety office not to evacuate the building sent a message to anyone who calls in phony bomb threats.
"You eliminate the false alarms," Malen said. "It's basically sending the message 'Look, making false alarms is not going to cancel an exam or evacuate a
class. We're going to take every situation as a serious event, but we leave that evacuation decision up to the instructors."
From his office in Wescoe, Danny Anderson, chair of the Spanish and Portuguese department, said many of his GTAs had evacuated their classes. He has an office in Wescoe, but police did not contact him.
At 2:30 p.m., public safety officers had not found a bomb, Malen said. Staff members blocked entrances so students could not enter the building.
Eric Rath, assistant professor of history, attempted to continue his class but his students grew restless after a campus safety officer entered the classroom to inform them of the threat. After a few minutes, Rath said he let them leave.
"There were 10 minutes left, and it really blew a hole in our discussion." Rath said. "I didn't think it was a serious threat at all, from what the officer told me. Had it been a serious threat, I'm sure we would have had to evacuate."
Mailen said anyone with information about the threat should call KU Crimestoppers at 864-8888.

Smoking issue at Towers tabled until February
A vote on whether to continue allowing smoking in Jayhawker Towers has been postponed until February.
Residents of Jayhawk Tower Towers met last night to debate whether smoking should continue to be allowed in the towers. Students currently can smoke in their rooms with the permission of their roommates.
The vote originally was scheduled to take place at the meeting, but only about 30 people attended.
Although there was no vote, residents did decide on the options that will be available when the vote occurs. Residents will be able to vote only on whether smoking will be allowed in the four buildings of Jayhawker Towers. Some residents had proposed smoking be allowed on certain floors of the buildings or that some towers be designated as non-smoking and others as smoking.
"There's no way we can satisfy everybody," said Omega Tadesse, president of the Jayhawker Towers Tenants Association and Ethiopia junior.
The vote by the residents of the towers is nonbinding. Tadesse said if the no-smoking resolution passed, the Department of Student Housing would then decide on the issue.
Chris Wiltgen, assistant complex director at the towers, said the department's decision would depend on the strength of the residents' recommendation.

Federal prosecutors allege mail fraud
TOPEAK — Federal prosecutors are seeking to take control of nearly $9 million in what they allege was a massive mail-fraud scheme by a company that offers tax advice to its customers.
Jackie Williams, the U.S. attorney for Kansas, said Renaissance, The Tax People, Inc., used the U.S. Postal Service to fraudulently amass $100 million from customers nationwide since 1997.
On Friday, Williams filed a civil lawsuit in U.S. District Court in Wichita to have $8.9 million forfeited to the federal government. The money was confiscated from 13 financial accounts — including bank accounts, an investment account, life insurance accounts and a safe deposit box — connected to Renaissance.
The case was investigated by the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. postal inspectors in cooperation with the Kansas attorney general's office.

Candidates eagerly awaiting court decision
On the eve of historic U.S. Supreme Court arguments, Al Gore's attorney said yesterday the vice president urgently needed a legal victory to recount Florida's votes or "that's the end of the road" for his dogged drive to the presidency. A chorus of anxious Democrats agreed.
George W. Bush's lawyers asked the high court to overturn a Florida Supreme Court recount plan, saying it was "virtually guaranteed to incite controversy, suspicion and lack of confidence" in the first American presidential election of the 21st century. In briefs filed late yesterday, Democratic attorneys previewed their case for the 90-minute court session that could bring a close to the 33-day election drama.
The high court justices voted 5-4 on Saturday to temporary halt manual recounts in Florida and consider the landmark Bush v. Gore case.
The House could vote as early as tomorrow on a presidential slate. The Senate isn't expected to take action before Wednesday.
'Santas' protest unfair working conditions
GOLDEN, Colo. — Four people in
Santa costumes released pepper spray and spray-painted racks of clothing at a department store Saturday during a protest of working conditions for Nicaraguan garment workers, police said.
Shoppers fled the Kohl's Department Store and one woman was treated at the scene after inhaling pepper spray.
the protesters fled before officers arrived, said Golden police spokeswoman Julie Brooks. She said the vandalism caused tens of thousands of dollars in damage.
Witnesses said 10 to 15 people had been outside the store chanting slogans about Nicaraguan workers earning 6 cents an hour. A corporate spokeswoman for Kohl's did not immediately return a phone call Saturday night.
In Pasadena, Calif., another group of protesters picked a Target store Saturday, also claiming garments sold there were made under sweatshop conditions in Nicaragua and the workers there were not paid a living wage.
32 students receive Rhodes scholarships
On Saturday, 32 American students were chosen to receive Rhodes scholarships for two to three years' study at Oxford University in England.
Recipients include an AIDS researcher, a prison tutor, a theater director and students who have worked with people in need around the globe.
The Rhodes scholarship, created from the will of British philanthropist and colonialist Cecil Rhodes, is the oldest international study award available to American scholars. Winners are selected on the basis of high academic achievement, personal integrity, leadership potential and physical vigor, among other attributes.
Winners this year were chosen from 950 applicants endorsed by 327 colleges and universities; Yale led with three recipients. So far, 2,918 Americans have won the scholarships.
Mother could lose child for forced breast-feeding
CHICAGO — A judge will hold a hearing today on a 6-year-old boy who was removed from his mother's custody because she was still breast-feeding him when he was 5, allegedly against his wishes.
The Illinois Department of Children and Family Services took the child in July after a baby sitter called a child- abuse hot line.
Champaign County Circuit Judge Ann Einhorn is scheduled to hear the case.
DCFS investigators said the boy told them he no longer wanted to breastfeed, but the mother said her son never indicated he wanted to stop. She denied any allegations of abuse. The Associated Press
Lawrence is working to become more environmentally friendly by using recycled motor oil in four city vehicles.
City explores benefits, costs of using recycled motor oil
By Matt Merkel-Hess
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The pilot program began late last month with two sedans and two pickup trucks, and will continue for one year.
Lisa Siegel, Lawrence recycling specialist, said the city would buy recycled products as long as the quality wasn't compromised and the cost wasn't prohibitive. Much of the city's office paper, toner cartridges and concrete base rock used to build streets were made from recycled products, she said.
"We try and close the loop and buy recycled," Siegel said. "Buying re-refined oil was just part of the part of that process."
Last year, the city collected 5,700 gallons of used motor oil, a non-renewable resource. Dirty motor oil is refined again by removing dirt and other impurities, and then turned back into a product for car engines. The city purchased one 55-gallon drum of the recycled motor oil, which the city garage is testing for lubrication, signs of wear and overall effectiveness.
Steve Stewart, city garage manager, said the four vehicles using recycled motor oil would be compared to similar vehicles in the city's fleet, and a sample would be sent to a lab after each oil change to test for wear levels.
"If we could determine that everything is of good quality and the price was comparable, we'd look to expand it," he said.
The city has a fleet of 500 vehicles and uses new motor oil that costs about $150 per 55- gallon drum. The recycled motor oil costs about $170.
Stewart said the process for cleaning used motor oil had been around for awhile, but the oil was typically used as heating oil. Only recently had the process been improved so the oil could be used for cars, he said.
The city practices other environment-friendly policies, such as recycling oil filters, antifreeze, and using waste oil to heat the shops. Another pilot program with city vehicles will be implemented soon using ethanol fuel, a corn-alcohol and gasoline mixture.
Karen Keith, Tulsa, Okla., sophomore and member of the Student Senate student environmental advisory board, said any steps to use recycled products were beneficial.
"Especially in Kansas, it's very cheap to throw stuff away," she said. "But I think it's worth that small amount more to use things rather than throwing them into a landfill and having to deal with them later."
The four vehicles in the motor oil pilot program will sport bumper stickers that say, "Follow our lead - Use re-refined oil." Siegel said she hoped the program was a success and the city could buy more recycled products.

Anxiety thwarts embarassing purchases
By Jenn Dartt and Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writers
When Jenni Garmon was in high school, a routine trip to the grocery store became an embarrassing anecdote.
When the Lawrence sophomore walked up to a grocery store cash register, she dropped a pack of condoms on the counter and looked up to see a friend of her parents behind the register.
Garmon's parents never confronted her about the incident
"In high school, I was really embarrassed about buying condoms and stuff. Now, I really couldn't care less if people think I'm having sex," she said.
Garmon isn't alone. Many KU students have gotten past the adolescent anxiety that comes with purchasing feminine products,
contraceptives and other personal goods for the first time. But some students buy gum or a magazine to mask the embarrassing box of condoms or tampons. Some try stealing them to avoid facing the cashier.
Garmon said buying cigarettes along with condoms made her feel more comfortable when she was younger.
"I didn't want to just throw down a pack of condoms and be like, 'Here's what I'm doing tonight,'" she said.
Robert Osburn, manager of Naughty But Nice, 1741 Massachusetts St., has noticed that some customers want to shop inconspicuously.
"I pray for rain," he said. "When it rains, nobody's out, so people can come in with not as many people seeing them. The worse the
weather, the higher the sales."
Osburn said sales also increased as the store's closing time approached. Many customers enter and leave the store three or four times before making a purchase.
they have to get comfortable with the store and with the person working, and they have to make sure that we have what they're looking for," he said.
Ron Guthrie, employee at Presto convenience store, 1802 W. 23rd St, said most people waited until no one was in the store if they were embarrassed.
"If that doesn't work, they try to be the last ones in line," Guthrie said.
Angie Livermont, employee at Kwik Shop, 1714 W. 23rd Street, said some people were embarrassed to buy condoms or pornography, while others didn't really
care.
"Guy just throw the box of dowsons on the counter and then look the other way. They never look directly at me," she said. "They act the same way when they buy pornographic magazines."
Others are proud of their purchases. Livermont described a time when a woman who appeared to be drunk entered the store to buy condoms. She made it clear to Livermont and the line of customers exactly what she planned on doing that night.
"She said she had to be protected and showed no shame at all," Livermont said.
Matt Davis, Overland Park junior, said he wasn't ashamed to occasionally buy a condom or adult magazine.
"I'm proud of what I do," he said.

Several parties deserve blame for fatal wreck
series of stupid, sad mistakes killed Felecia Bland.
Bland, 39, died Sept. 16 in a car accident on K-10 highway just east of the Kill Creek exit in Johnson County. Police say Sean Scott, the 16-year-old driver of the car that crossed the median and struck Bland's car, had been drinking heavily both at the Phi Gamma Delta fraternity house and the Wheel.
We at the Kansan have known for more than two months about the circumstances surrounding the accident. Until Friday, we couldn't disclose them because the
Kansas Highway Patrol refused to release the accident report.
accident report.
If you didn't read Friday's Kansan, here's a recap. Scott went to the Phi Gamma Delta house, where his brother Mike is a pledge. A fraternity member drove the Scotts to the Wheel, where both drank. They later returned to the fraternity house and drank more. Then Sean Scott got in his car and started speeding on K-10

toward Lenexa to visit his girlfriend. He never got there.
Bland, who was wearing her seatbelt, was pinned in her car, where she died. Scott, who wasn't wearing his seatbelt, was ejected from his car and suffered a broken wrist. He told ambulance workers at the scene he had drunk "a lot," highway patrol trooper Mathew Heffey said.
We've been trying diligently to confirm the story since we first heard about it. Reporters and editors repeatedly have been stonewalled by the highway patrol while trying to obtain accident records. So we're suing, and we think the law is on our side.
Stepping out of my journalist shoes, however, I'm disgusted. A lot of people directly contributed to this tragedy, and a lot of people could have prevented it as well.
A lot of you probably are wondering why we've worked so feverishly to develop this story. The values we hold dear — including truth, accountability and justice — play profound roles in the newsgathering process, and this story appeals strongly to those values.
This isn't your standard, dime-a-dozen 'alcohol-and-drunk-driving-are-bad' column. This is a call for those responsible to step forward and apologize to Bland's family.
Shame on Phi Gamma Delta fraternity members for helping a 16-year-old boy nearly drink himself into oblivion. (A fraternity member said other members tried to hide Sean Scott's keys. Shame on them for not hiding the keys better.)
Shame on Sean Scott, obviously. Shame on Mike Scott for setting a poor example for his sibling and letting him drive while wildly intoxicated.
Shame on the employees of the Wheel. Granted, underage drinking in Lawrence bars is nothing new. But if the bar's bouncers checked IDs, how in the world could a peach-fuzz-faced 16-year-old pass for 21?
Felecia Bland was an active parishioner at St. John the Evangelist Catholic Church, where she was a eucharistic minister and an integral organizer of the church's annual Fiesta Mexicana.
Why the fickle finger of fate took the life of a community servant — with her seat-belt buckled, nonetheless — instead of an out-of-control, drunken, unbuckled teenager just doesn't seem fair.
The injustice of Bland's death boggles the mind. For justice to prevail, Sean Scott should be tried as an adult and sentenced to the maximum possible penalty. And to the other responsible parties: Personally, I hope Bland's family sues you into poverty.
That won't bring Fleecia Bland back, and it certainly won't replace her. So here's a novel idea: Next June, those responsible should lend a hand (physically and financially) to St. John's Fiesta Mexicana. It's the least they could do.

Alternatives could deter immature false fire alarms
Ten fire alarms have interrupted the sleep of some 900 McCollum residents thus far in the year. Ten fire alarms, most at various early hours of the morning in which sleep is vital, have shaken us from slumber.
Is it fun to have to walk outside at 2:30 a.m. on a school night because one person in the entire complex has yet to grow up? Conversely, is it funny to disturb hundreds

of sleeping people and provoke their ire based only on some infantile whim?
This disgruntled resident doesn't find it amusing or entertaining. Not one bit — especially when the false alarms come on the morning of important tests and exams and steal more than an hour of precious sleep.

Matt Damon and
Matt Dahon and strawberry lemonade are the least of this author's worries; sleep, however, is a high priority. Nobody will see this student submitting peacefully and happily to the juvenile amusement of some (likely irresponsibly, inebriated) cohabitant.
Fire alarms are not only a public nuisance (and a federal offense) but, in a university environment, a dire hazard to education and that all-encompassing grade point average.
Nobody pays for disrupted sleep or wasted time here (perhaps there should be a McCollum-resident discount on tuition bills). We are collectively, if not individually, adults and have the responsibilities of
such. Thus, there is no reason to make 900 people upset and weary for an immature laugh.
Many solutions to this burgeoning problem would satiate most residents, including this one. For the price of a single response to a false alarm, McCollum could have $1,000 more to spend on alarm-prevention and building improvements. Simple ink jets on the alarms would betray perpetrators, marking their hands and submitting them to the wrath of 899 students and the Department of Student Housing.
Glass plates over the alarms would likely defer some of the pathetic excuses for KU students. The list goes on and, and, for every $1,000 worth of wasted money, wouldn't it be worth it to spend money in advance on prevention and save the wrath of hundreds of people?
Until that point, however, this writer can only see the at the lack of maturity demonstrated by a few residents—not quietly, no, and not gracefully. Until these people grow up, the rest of us will be miserable. Who wants this? Would we rather sit and walk, sleep-weary in supplication, to the lawn every week in the early morning hours? Are we going to be sheep and be trodden over by the evident stupidity that is ever present? We don't attend Kindergarten University.
Until the Housing Department or the ludicrously immature students wake up, this angry fourth-floor resident will continue in his tirade and refuse to accept this foul hand. So, if your choice is to pull false fire alarms in your stupeffied amusement then you haven't fully experienced the disturbances of these insufferable fire alarms yet. Grow up, McCollum. Wake up. If you're not too busy trying to catch up on your lost sleep, that is.

Editorial
GTAs need higher wages, more benefits
The University should heed GTAC's request for better benefits.
Negotiations are currently underway between the University of Kansas and the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition (GTAC) to discuss proposals for better health care, higher pay and better benefits for graduate teaching assistants (GTAs). The University should make changes in favor of graduate teaching assistants.
GTAs make up an important part of the academic community at KU. The University should take their needs seriously and accommodate them as much as possible.
GTAs are an essential part of the learning process at KU, as in any school. They make the material of large lecture courses more accessible to students and easier to understand, acting as a link between students and professors. As GTAs are still students themselves, and most of them young in age, they can relate better to the people they are instructing.
The role of a GTA inherently involves two parts and combines two lifestyles--that of student and that of instructor.
As students, GTAs have to cope with all the adversities of undergraduate and graduate student life—of which is limited finances. As instructors, they have the added responsibility of effectively transmitting some of their knowledge to other students. Though fulfilling, teaching for the University leaves them with less free time than the average student, and limits their time to have another job that generates a better income.
If GTAs feel their needs are not met, the University should accommodate their requests. If GTAs feel respected and valued by the University, they will perform better in their positions and students will learn more. Ensuring an environment conducive to higher learning is paramount at any university. KU is no exception. The University should support its promise of a high quality education to students by providing GTAs with the benefits, health care and higher pay they deserve.

Internet gambling plagues universities, athletics
Continued from page 1A
Report, there were 600 gambling-related internet sites in 1998, 60 of which offer real-time betting.
The ease with which students can now bet on games with the single click of a mouse threatens the integrity of college athletics, according to Kansas Athletics Director Bob Frederick, Kansas men's basketball coach Roy Williams and Kansas football coach Terry Allen.
As gambling-related Web sites become more popular, more people are logging on to the Internet and using credit cards to place bets.
$300 million 1997
This had been a concern at universities across the country, and a NCAA official, Bill Saum, has been appointed to work full-time as the organization's resident expert on college gambling.

When Scott lost a bundle on Saturday college games, he would try in vain to recoup the losses betting on Sunday NFL games. His credit card hole just got deeper.
"The computer and my credit card made it pretty easy to lose money quick," he said.
He's not the only one who could fall into the same problem — Saum estimated that 65 percent of undergraduates have credit cards.
cards. Howard Shaffer, director of Harvard University Medical School's Division on Addiction, said research shows that more youth are introduced to gambling through sports betting than through any other type of gambling activity. Children are not likely to pick up a deck of cards or dice. Instead, they learn to gamble on sports by reading a newspaper's daily sports section or doing something as simple as participating in an office betting pool on the NCAA basketball tournament.

Not all gamblers take betting seriously.
Steven Kilby,
Lawrence senior,
saw his Internet sports betting as just another form of entertainment — like going to a bar or to a movie — even though he occasionally dropped $50 on a football game, as he did when the Kansas football team played their season opener against Southern Methodist in Dallas earlier this year.
He had an Internet connec-

there are thousands of sites to choose from. And it looks like free money."
"I saw the first-quarter score, and I was just hoping they would cover the spread," Kilby said.

SMU was favored by five points, meaning Kansas could lose by four or less and Kilby would still win the bet. But the Jayhawks lost 31-17 and he lost $50 quicker than it took to sign on to his Internet account. To place the bet, he logged onto his favorite Internet site, punched in his ID name and credit card number and selected the bet. The money was posted to his credit card account as quickly as the game was finished.

tune, he learned. You don't have to be true to your school. Kilby bet on three Kansas football games this year. He won bets when he picked Kansas State and Nebraska to win big against the Jayhawks.
"I guess my friends could call me a jerk for not picking KU." Kilby said. "But it's nothing personal. It's just about winning money."
Kilby now has two rules — don't bet with your heart, and don't bet more than you can afford to lose.
"You should never bet outside your means," Kilby said. "Gambling is for
entertainment. it gets a bad rap because of people who blow more money than they can afford to."

Kilby can see how others are sucked into placing big bets they cannot afford to lose.
"Look around campus."
"Look around campus, Kilby said. "It's so easy to get a credit card here. And all you have to do is go on the Internet and there are thousands of sites to choose from. And it looks like free money."
Betting with friends
The ease of placing a bet alone at the computer actually drove one KU gambler away from Internet betting. Eric Goodman, Omaha freshman, said he missed the social aspects involved in betting against friends.
Goodman previously bet on games through the Internet. He had a few favorite Web sites where he could quickly make a bet, and the sites were reliable at paying when he won. But he gave up his computer betting and is now part of a group that regularly places bets with each other and then watches the games on TV together. He enjoys the thrill of having the game create friendly competition.
Goodman said he preferred to bet with friends because that way there's a face associated with the deal.
"It's better when you know the money isn't just going to some machine," he said.
Even when Goodman loses and one of his pals has a big night, the friend is more likely to buy the beer or pizza to enjoy during the next game.
He said he sympathized with students who lose more money than they can afford to, but he thinks gambling should remain legal.
"As long as it doesn't make you lose all your money or your friends, I don't see anything wrong with it," Goodman said.
Scott, who left school last year after he spent his college savings on bad wagers, is trying to pay off his gambling debt. He now works two low-paying jobs in his native Colorado. He left behind a nice
Gambling it all away
Scott said he lied to friends about his reason for leaving the University. His mother was ill. He wanted to switch majors. As he packed his belongings, he sheepish told his friends that he was not cut out for the rigors of college. In truth, his grade-point average when he left was 3.52.
apartment, which he shared with three friends, and a girlfriend who finally grew tired of using her money to help cover his expensive habit. He is now in Gamblers Anonymous, a support group for addicted bettors.
"I'd do anything not to give the real reason," Scott said. "I still will not tell people."

money to pay everything book" he said
Scott considered himself an educated better. He used to call Kansas' sports information department to get inside information, so he could place a more
knowledgeable bet.
Plaguing college athletics programs College coaches are familiar with the methods gamblers use to try to get information to gain an edge on the books, especially information regarding player's injuries.
"I've gotten plenty of phone calls from people who just want anything they can get on players." Allen said. "It's definitely not right, but I don't think it's a problem any other Division I program doesn't face."
Both Allen and Williams worry that college students who gamble will try to influence athletes on their campus who play the games.
"It's something a coach has to worry about every day now," Williams said.
Athletes at Arizona State and Northwestern have been convicted of sports betting crimes this decade. In each case, players were instrumental in fixing the game's scoring to help gamblers by not playing up to their full potential.
In the past 10 years, there have been 11 gambling scandals on college campuses, compared to the 10 that occurred during the 40 years prior to that.
Saum, the NCAA official who works as its college gambling expert, regularly visits college campuses to lecture teams about the dangers and pitfalls of gambling. Kansas' coaches have had Saum,
NCAA officials have countered with a message that gambling on college athletics is wrong and dangerous.
other NCAA officials and even law enforcement officials talk to players about avoiding any connection to gambling.
"It's the single greatest threat to college sports and any university," Frederick said. "What a horrible thing it is to have happen to a university, because it completely destroys the institution's credibility."
Saum said part of the problem is how big college sports have become. College sports typically have either a football game or basketball game to bet on nearly every night, meaning there are plenty of options.
"There are two main factors to the success of gambling," Saum said. "One is a good economy. The other is having so many games to choose from on television."
Saum said even students without extra cash can gamble because 65 percent of undergraduate students have credit cards.
Legislative attempts to help
Saum has been part of a political effort to ban collegiate sports wagering.
He has worked with U.S. Sen. Sam Brownback, R-Kansas, who wants to ban all gambling on college sports. Brownback is a cosponsor of the Amateur Sports Integrity Act. ASIA, developed after a two-year study on the impact of legal gambling in the United States, is regarded by more than 1,000 U.S. universities, including Kansas, as a potential cure for the problem.
Brownback concedes that the plan is not a complete cure, but it is a start. However, NCAA's Saum and Frederick see the lobbying efforts of the American Gaming Association as a large obstacle because of the money it is willing to spend to save gambling on athletics.
"They're literally dumping millions of dollars in the laps of politicians to keep the bill from moving to the floor." Frederick said.
According to Time magazine, the gaming industry gave Congress more than $16 million in the form of contributions in the past six years.
Saum said the Senate had adjourned without acting on the bill this fall, meaning it will probably have to start over.
"We have many high-ups telling us that if this bill gets to the floor it will pass," Saum said. "That's

"As we have been saying all along, when people started focusing on the facts, they would recognize this bill for what it is: a cosmetic response to serious campus gambling problems.

wagering in Nevada."
Frederick chaired the NCAA men's basketball selection committee in 1994 and was responsible for selecting and seeding the 64 teams that played in the annual postseason tournament that decides the national champion. Next to the Super Bowl, it is the year's top betting event, attracting more than $1 billion in wagers. When Frederick was chairman, the committee devised a plan to withhold credentials from any newspapers that ran betting lines for NCAA games showing favorites and point spreads.
The committee never implemented the plan.
Frederick said it would have been too much of a hassle because almost every major publication runs sporting odds, including the Lawrence Journal-World and Kansas City Star.
Saum said the plan also had legal problems. "I don't think we would have won that one in court," he said.
The betting lines on college games remain available in most newspapers, and Scott still said he checked them out. He even admitted that he placed an occasional bet with a friend for the sheer joy he experiences when he wins.
But he steers clear of the Internet because he said he is still tempted by the idea that he could quickly log on, place a bet and somehow win
back the money he lost.
Even when he conducts research for term papers he writes for the junior college classes he is taking,he goes to the library rather than uses a computer.
He can never forget that without traveling to Las Vegas and without leaving his own apartment, he sat in front of his computer, mouse in hand, and gambled away his college education.

While he said the results of his IQ test were good — 136, to be exact — Knipp was not convinced he was a genius.
"My grades reflect that I'm not,

That response was common for many students such as Ross who just dabble in the world of online tests for fun and procrastination.
Haley Ross, Dodge City junior, said several tests had been mailed to her, and she had taken them, but she thought they were useless as far as telling her anything about her life.
"They're made for a general audience," Ross said. "They're not specific to you, they're just dumb. If I'm going to change part of my life, it'll be for a good reason instead of
"Most of them are useless," he said. "There are many good psychological tests, but they are not the type of tests to be released on the Internet."

Blowout at Wake Forest mirrors last season's Oklahoma State fiasco
By Michael Rigg
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
In both games, each opponent had a half where it couldn't miss, as Oklahoma State's 54 percent first half shooting against Kansas was good, but not nearly as good as the 68 percent the Demon Deacons put up in the second half Thursday. The Jayhawks scored 53 points in each contest. And to add to the similarities, both games were played on the seventh day of the month.
The Jayhawks, as the old saying goes, have been down this road before.
"Last year, a big game would come up, and we would kind of put our tails between our legs and hide," said junior guard Jeff Boschee, who scored eight points in each contest. "That's kind of what we did out there."
Sophomore forward Drew Gooden said the feelings after both losses were similar.
Just 10 months ago, Kansas was heading back to Lawrence after getting blasted by 33 points at Oklahoma State. On Thursday, the Jayhawks fell victim to a similar fate, but this time Wake Forest was doing the blasting, by 31 points in Winston-Salem, N.C.

The statistical similarities between the two blowouts are uncanny. In both Stillwater, Okla, and Winston-Salem, the Jayhawks were ice-cold from the floor, as Thursday's 38 percent shooting was just a hair better than the 34 percent they shot against the Cowboys.
"We got our butts kicked like this against Oklahoma State," Gooden said. "It's about the same feeling. But this one might even hurt more, since we're a much better team than we were last year."
But senior center Eric Chenowith, who played 18 minutes in each game, said the two losses were different.
Kansas might have performed better against the Cowboys and the Demon Deacons if the Jayhawks weren't missing a top scorer in both contests. Last season, the Jayhawks were playing their third straight game without Luke Axtell, who would miss the rest of the season because of an undisclosed medical condition. Thursday, the Jayhawkes were without leading scorer Kenny Gregory, who is out indefinitely because of a stress fracture in his right foot.
and get some wins over DePaul and Tulsa, then we'll be all right."
Still, Kansas must rebound. Just like after the loss to the Cowboys, the Jayhawks have only four days between games, and in that time, Kansas must find out how to return to its winning ways. And, for what it's worth, the Jayhawks won the game after the Oklahoma State loss, downing Kansas State 94-65.
"We know that we can be beat," Gooden said. "This game kind of lowered our heads a little bit and took our self-esteem. But if we go out

Have you ever seen that list of similarities between the assassinations of presidents Abraham Lincoln and John F. Kennedy? Well, Thursday's' 31-point shelling by Wake Forest and February's 33-point drilling at the hands of Oklahoma State have some eerie similarities, as well. Consider:
Each game was played on the seventh day of the month.
The Jayhawks scored 53 points in both games.
Senior center Eric Chenwith played 18 minutes in both contests.
Junior guard Jeff Boschee scored eight points in each lopsided loss.
A member of the class of 2003 led the Jayhawks in scoring in both losses.
The Jayhawks shot less than 40 percent in each game.
Both coaches, Eddie Sutton and Dave Odom, have sons who are assistant coaches at Big 12 Conference schools.
■ In both losses, the Jayhawks were reeling from the loss of a high-scoring small forward. The loss to the Cowboys was the Jayhawks third straight without Luke Axtell, and on Thursday, Kansas was missing Kenny Gregory.
Both games were televised nationally by ESPN.
After both losses, Kansas' next games were played on the twelfth days of the month on the road.
Gregory won't play tomorrow against DePaul

For the Jayhawks' first seven games, Kenny Gregory soared and scored. Now, he'll have to sit and wait.
Gregory, a senior forward and the Jayhawks' most explosive player and leading scorer, will not play in Kansas' game against DePaul tomorrow because of a stress fracture in his right foot.
Kansas coach Roy Williams made the announcement during the weekend, when the Jayhawks were practicing — sans Gregory — for the game against the Blue Demons. It will be the second consecutive game Gregory will miss, after sitting out the Jayhawks' 84-53 pasting at the hands of Wake Forest because of the same fracture.
Gregory first felt the pain in his foot a few weeks ago at practice. The pain gradually worsened, and it was diagnosed as a stress fracture last Sunday.
Still, Gregory was expected to play against the Demon Deacons, but he felt too much pain in the pregame drills and could not play. Senior forward Luke Axtell filled the hole in the starting lineup and scored 10 points — eight in the first half — against Wake Forest.
Before the Demon Deacon game, Gregory said time off from basketball — perhaps as much as three weeks — would be necessary for the injury to heal.
"I know if I decide to suit up and play, I am going to go full speed," Gregory said. "If I am out there, I am out there. I don't want to be babied at all."
The Jayhawks miss Gregory's team-leading 17.9 points per game.
"It's definitely a blow." Axtell said of Gregory's absence. "We need him. But on the other hand, we have to step up."

Kansas wins lackluster game against Washburn

And that is exactly what happened to the Kansas women's basketball team in its 72-46 exhibition victory against Division II Washburn on Saturday. While the Jayhawks ran away with the game in the second half, they were only up by eight points at halftime, and managed to score only 33 in the second half against a team that was decidedly overmatched.
It's tough to get up for a game when you are 5-2 before the game, and you'll be 5-2 after the game.
"I think too often when you're in a game like this, your players tend to let up a little bit, and I thought that happened to us," Kansas coach Marian Washington said.
Senior forward Brooke Reves agreed with Washington's assessment of the game, and said the 'Hawks couldn't afford to let that happen.
"It's somewhat hard to get up for games that don't count," Roves said. "But we really should have been ready to play as if it was the next Big 12 championship."

Despite Kansas' lackluster performance, Washington was willing to give credit where it was due. The Lady Blues out-hustled the Jayhawks in the first half before Kansas' overwhelming talent took over.
"They played with a lot of enthusiasm." Washington said.
With an eight-point cushion at the half, Kansas came out firing. The Jayhawks went on a 17-4 run that ended Washburn's hope of an upset, and Reves said that was how Kansas should have come out in the first half.
"Big teams don't mess around," she said. "If you come out flat, short, and when people aren't ready, they are going to jump all over you."
The Jayhawks did get big performances from the usual suspects. Senior forward Jaclyn Johnson, junior guard KC Hilgenkamp and Reves all poured in double figures in points. Hilgenkamp led
the charge with a team-high 15 points, and continued her torrid pace from the three-point line, hitting two of three.
She leads the Big 12 Conference in three-point accuracy, draining them at a 78 percent clin.
But the overwhelming focus after the game was that the 'Hawks must do something quickly to keep from coming out flat for the rest of the season, starting with a Dec. 16 game against Creighton.
"Our play wasn't very good at all," Johnson said. "We are going to have to come out a lot harder."

Rough times in sports world call for words of inspiration
It's not exactly the easiest time of the semester to be writing a sports column for the Kansan.
Writing about depressing stuff like that is not quite the inspiration needed during this time of the semester, when finals are about to begin and college careers can be made or broken.
For one, the men's basketball team was throttled by 31 points last week by a certain team from North Carolina. For two, Kansas football coach Terry Allen has been firing assistant coaches left and right, as the Jayhawks try to recover from yet another losing season. Word is Big Jay may be the next on the chopping block if that whole hygiene problem doesn't clear up fast.
Therefore, this column is all about inspiration. Need inspiration to pass one of your finals? Read on. Need inspiration to land that dream job? Read on. Need inspiration to keep from falling asleep in class? Read on.
I have assembled a plethora of sports quotes that are supposed to draw inspiration from all angles. One is a quote that I jotted down during a press conference, and the other ones are from various Web sites (if you want the addresses, e-mail me).
Hidden among these quotes is an inside joke between my friend and fellow Kansan sportswriter Jason Franchuk. This column is dedicated to Jason and ali the other seniors who will graduate this month.
Without further adieu, let the inspiration begin.
■ "Show me a guy who's afraid to look bad, and I'll show you a guy who you can beat every time." — Lou Brock.
"Life is like a roller-coaster. There's hills and there's valleys. There's good days and there's bad days. All I know is that I'm still climbing." — Jeff Blake.
■ "If you can believe it, the mind can achieve it." — Ronnie Lott.
"Set your goals high and don't stop till you get there." — Bo Jackson.
- "There's no substitute for guts." — Bear Bryant.
- "To succeed, you need to find something to hold on to, something to motivate you, something to inspire you." - Tony Dorsett.
- "You have to expect things from yourself before you can do them." — Michael Jordan.
- ■ "You can be anything you want to be if you're willing to pay the price. If you just don't quit." — Evander Holyfield.
- "Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do." — John Wooden.
- "My motto has always been to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging." — Hank Aaron.
- "Don't go chasing waterfalls just yet, Salt-and-Pepadine." — Jason Franchuk.
- "Besides pride, loyalty, discipline, heart, and mind, confidence is the key to all the locks." — Joe Paterno.
"I'm going to graduate on time, no matter how long it takes." former basketball player at Pittsburgh.
I hope at least some of these quotes were — at least in a minor way — inspirational. Maybe now you graduating seniors can pass your finals or land that dream job.
Whatever you get out of this, just remember to look back on the University of Kansas fondly, read the Kansan sports page online on a regular basis, and say "Rock, Chalk, Jayhawk" at least once a day to a random person you meet on the street. Most importantly, have fun with your lives.
You can quote me on that.

Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
You're lucky in love. That's the good news. The bad news is you could get distracted, and forget to do something important. The person who needs it could catch you flirting with your sweetheart. This could lead to trouble, so beware.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 9.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6.

Jagmarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
You and your partner need to have a serious con-
versation. You have to figure out how much you
have to spend, and roughly what you'll get with it.
You start out with quite different ideas, but that's
okay. It's probably not the first time.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5.
You may be drowning in paperwork. Trouble is,
you can't just light a match to it. There's something
important in there, mixed up with the garbage. So
be thorough. You'll feel great when it's done.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
You start out lucky, and charming; keep pestering until you get your point across. And don't procrastinate; write letters and make phone calls. Later, you may want to get involved in a whole new project.
Make room for it!
P
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6.
You'd just as soon avoid attention, but that might be difficult. Everybody seems to need something only you can provide. They're involved in their own agendas, however. Practice serving, while being invisible.

KANSAS TRACK
The Kansas track and field team participated in its first meet of the season this weekend at the K-State All-comers Meet in Manhattan, and although the meet was not a team scoring event, the Jayhawks racked up a list of medals.
'Hawks finish strong in first meet of season
The Jayhawks gathered 11 individual first-place medals on Friday, including senior Scott Russell's first-place throw of 68-11 3/4 in the 35-pound weight throw and junior Ryan Speers' first-place heave of 60-7 1/4 in the shot put.
On the women's side, freshman Laura Lavoie led the Jayhawks with a first-place finish in the 3,000-meters, senior Amanda Reves took first in the 800-meters and senior Sherre-Khan Blackmion finished first in the 600-yard run. Junior Katy Eisenenmenger finished first in the mile and sophomore Brandi Taylor captured second in the long jump.
The competition wrapped up Saturday with the pentathlon event, with senior Andy Morris finishing in third place with a score of 3,716, and senior Ashley Pyle finishin in second place with a score of 3,315.
Senior Charlie Gruber took first in the 3,000-meter run, junior Brian Blachy took first in the mile, senior Greg Steele took first in the pole vault and sophomore Benaud Shirley captured the title in the triple jump. Sophomore Mark Meneefe finished right behind Gruber to take second in the 3,000-meter.
"Everyone came out and competed well for the team today," Kansas coach Stanley Redwine said. "From top to bottom we were solid."

Wooldridge, Kimm

The Wildcats will have some issues to deal with, too, because Kimm was their backup point guard, and the second player to leave the team in two weeks. Junior guard Galen Morrison left after having concerns about his role on the team.
The team's roster is now trimmed to 11 players — one of whom is freshman guard Kerry Darting, still recovering from foot surgery — leaving the 'Cats with only 10 players in practice.

Flyers fire head coach after team's passive play
PHILADELPHIA — Craig Ramsay was fired yesterday as coach of the Philadelphia Flyers and replaced by assistant Bill Barber, who was given a mandate to make the team tougher.
Ramsay, who stepped in for ailing Roger Neilson during last season and lead the Flyers to within a victory of the Stanley Cup finals, could not be reached immediately for comment. Entering last night's game against the New York Islanders, Philadelphia is in fourth place in the NHL's Atlantic Division with a 12-12.4 record despite a crash of injuries.
"We've become an easy team to play against," general manager Bob Clarke said. "And we don't find that acceptable."
Barber played his entire 12 year career with the Flyers, and was elected to the Hockey Hall of Fame in 1990.
So, he turned to a former teammate and linemate with the "Broad Street Bullies" of the 1970s.
The Associated Press
"I feel very comfortable if I look back on the way I went through the system," said Barber, who has a three-year contract. "The learning was very important."

Washburn shows skills in loss
'Hawks' power size don't faze Ladv Blues
By Rebecca Barlow
By Rebecca Barlow sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Washburn University's women's basketball team proved Saturday against Kansas that size really doesn't matter.
The Jayhawks beat Washburn 72-46, but the Lady Blues stayed close most of the game. They were down by only eight points at halftime.
The Lady Blues didn't allow the Jayhawks' power and size to intimidate them.
Jennifer Butcher, Washburn senior forward, said the Lady Blues had expected to play a bigger team and thought they did a good job playing against the Jayhawks.
"We knew coming in that the KU team would be a little bit bigger than us and quicker," she said. "I think we did well
overall."
Washburn players knew playing at Allen Fieldhouse would be tough, so the Lady Blues took advantage of their quickness and rebounding skills to their advantage to grab thirty-four rebounds and six steals.
"We knew that we were going to have to play pretty well and run our offenses and go to the boards and rebound hard. I think we did a good job of that." Butcher said.
The Lady Blues' offense had a hard time scoring in the second half.
They shot 31 percent while Kansas shot 62.1 percent. Butcher was the highest scorer of the game with 16 points.
Thorlan  Buchanan,
Washburn junior guard, said
the Lady Blues had some good
shots, but they just didn't fall.
"We just couldn't hit anything." Buchanan said. "You get good looks and you miss, and that's what happened."
Washburn had a hard time keeping up with Kansas senior forward Brooke Reves
Their offense allowed each of them to score 10 points in the second half.
and senior center Jaclyn Johnson.
Buchanan said Washburn had a hard time keeping Reves from scoring.
"No. 5 got it going," she said. "She was just going and going. We couldn't do too much with her. We had a hand up, but she was still hitting."
Butcher said coming into the game, the Lady Blues thought they might be able to hand the Jav Hawks a loss.
"We thought we had a shot at winning," she said. "We knew we could definitely compete with them."
Even though Washburn didn't come away with a victory against Kansas, Butcher said it did come away with experience that would help the Lady Blues in conference games.
"I know the teams we play won't be as big, but I think it helped us with rebounding and playing hard," Butcher said.

Big 12 weekend action throttles national ranks
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
When the new national ranking polls come out today, they will be shaken up, thanks to the Big 12 Conference.
What began with an 84-53 demoralization of No. 3 Kansas (7-1) by Wake Forest on Thursday led to a weekend of damage to the Top 25
No. 20 Oklahoma (6-1) effortlessly maintained its ranking by steamrolling North Texas on Saturday, 100-72.
the game.
Junior forward Aaron McGhee led the Sooners with 28 points. Three other Sooners scored in double digits.
A 40-12 start that included a 30-2 run put the game away in its early moments. Sooners junior walk-on Michael Cano saw playing time in the first half for the first time in his career during
While the Sooners earned their ranking, Oklahoma State cost Arkansas its spot at No.21. The Cowboys upended the Razorbacks 74-73 in Tulsa and improved to 4-1 for the season.
Oklahoma State trailed by 12 in the second half but charged back and took the lead with less than two minutes remaining.
Then, junior guard Maurice Baker sank two of his game-high 25 points that put the game away. Junior forward Fredrik Jonzen
added 19 points for the Cowboys. Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton said he was impressed with his team's effort.
"They were busting their fami-
nies out there." Sutton said. "It
was a game that you would see in
the NCAA tournament. It certainly
 didn't look like an early
season game."
Neither did the way No. 25 Iowa
State played in its 80-68 upset
Senior All-American nominee Jamal Tinsley struggled for the Cyclones in their first loss of the
loss to Iowa on Saturday.
season.
"Very poor," Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy said of Tinsley's play. "He was outdetermined, by
(Iowa point guard) Dean Oliver and our team was outdetermined by Iowa. It was as simple as that."
Tinsley made just five of 16 shots and had seven turnovers. Meanwhile, Oliver scored 22 points.
iowa guard Luke Recker led the Hawkeyes with 28 points.
Texas A&M (3-3) lost to No. 14 North Carolina 82-60 on Saturday.
The Aggies hung with the Tar Heels for most of the first half before trailing by seven at halftime, but Carolina opened the
second half with an 8-0 run and A&M never recovered.
Texas A&M leading scorer Bernard King, sophomore guard, struggled from the field but finished with 25 points, but it wasn't enough to counter Carolina super sophomore Joseph Forte.
The Tar Heels star logged 23 points,17 of which came in the second half.
In other Big 12 Saturday action, Texas (5-2) was upset 87-69 by South Florida, Nebraska (3-3) beat Alaska-Fairbanks 84-55, Baylor (4-0) thumped St. Edward's 84-57, Kansas State (2-4) fell 62-51 to Old Dominion, Colorado (5-3) lost to California-Berkley 75-63, and Missouri (6-1) edged St. Louis 77-73.
Texas Tech (4-3) played two weekend games, losing to Ball State 91-71 on Friday and rebounding to beat Western Michigan 68-59 on Saturday.

"I if I can drop two touchdowns a day and win, I'll take it every time," said Gonzalez, who also broke the team's single-season record with 84 receptions. "I'm just glad I had a chance at it again."
On a weird and eventful day at a strangely half-empty Arrowhead Stadium, nobody had more to be proud of — or feel embarrassed about — than Tony Gonzalez.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — He drops two certain touchdown passes. Then he catches a deflection that squirts through a churning swarm of people in the end zone.
most of all, Kansas City's star tight end had a 15-14 victory against Carolina that put an end to a five-game losing streak yesterday.
After Gonzalez's 6-yard touchdown catch of a deflected ball and Todd Peterson's 33-yard field goal put the Chiefs ahead by one point with 3:43 to go, they still had to sweat out one more kick by an old
Chiefs end five-game losing skid
The Associated Press
The Chiefs (6-8) had two interceptions and two fumbles on their first four possessions. Adding to their frustration, both interceptions were in the end zone and the first fumble was coughed up on the Carolina 15.
"We were all looking at each other wondering what in the heck was going on," said Gonzalez.
"As soon as I hit it, it went right at the post," said Nedney, who had connected on a team-record 18 in a row. "I was hoping for a little divine intervention. It didn't happen. I hit it real solid. It would have been good from 60."
But the Panthers (6-8), who had won two in a row, got only one touchdown off the four turnovers.
But Joe Nedney, whose game-winner in overtime for Oakland last season knocked the Chiefs out of the playoffs, was wide right on a 48-yarder with 1:35 left on the windy and bitterly cold day.

"It's about time he missed one," said Kansas City coach Gunther Cunningham.
The Panthers' weak offense, which entered the game with an NFL-leading 58 sacks allowed, saw Beuerlein sacked four times while managing only one TD off the four turnovers.
Beginning the game, Chiefs quarterback Elvis Grubac threw 18 straight passes without one hitting the ground. Sixteen were caught by
Southwestern Bell
The normally sure-handed Gonzalez dropped touchdown passes twice in the second half. Then when he snared the deflected ball to make it 14:12 with 12:31 to go, he chose not to make his trademark dunk over the goalpost.
For the first time since 1991, the Chiefs did not have a single punt.
CHIEFS
"I've never played in a game when we had four turnovers on our first four possessions," said center Tim Grunhard. "Did we catch a couple of breaks? Sure we did. But it's about time for the sun to shine on these dogs for a change."
The Panthers went 73 yards with the opening kickoff of the second half, with Chris Mangum sliding into the end zone for a 15-yard TD reception.
In the second quarter, Lester Towns recovered Tony Richardson's fumble on the Carolina 32, and eight plays later, Chris Hetherington scored on a 1-yard plunge for a 7-0 lead.
The Chiefs got a 35-yard field goal from Peterson in the second quarter, then a 24-yard in the third that made it 14-6.
Kansas City and two went to the Panthers.
Doug Evans and Eugene Robinson each made interceptions in the end zone after Grbac, who wound up 31-of-49 for 315 yards, passed the Chiefs to the Carolina 10. then to the 12.
In the fourth quarter and the Chiefs drove 85 yards in 12 plays to set up Gonzalez's deflected catch.
A pass for the 2-point conversion failed, leaving the Panthers with a 14-12 lead.
Weinke edges Heupel for Heisman
The Associated Press
NEW YORK - In winning the Heisman Trophy, Florida State's Chris Weinke captured the individual awards race, beating Oklahoma's
Josh Heupel.
But the real race,
both quarterbacks know,
won't finish up until Jan. 3 — when the Seminoles play
the Sooners in the Orange Bowl with the national championship on the line.
"In the end, there was a lot made of the Heisman being a head-to-head race between me and Josh," Weinke said yesterday. "But what I have been focusing on is facing each other in the

Orange Bowl."
With the 28-year-old Weinke edging Heupel by 76 points in the Heisman balloting on Saturday night, the Orange Bowl has an added subplot — it will be just the third time the Heisman winner and runner-up will play against each other in a postseason game.
For Heupel, a victory would mean a perfect season and national championship for his top-ranked Sooners. Weinke, though, is confident his third-ranked Seminoles (11-1) will find a way to win.
"they are a good football team, and whether this will be motivation for them I don't know," Weinke said after becoming the oldest player to win the Heisman. "Nobody has found a way to beat them yet, but I'm sure we'll give it our best shot."
In the seventh-closest voting in Heisman history, Weinke overcame an age issue that had some voters leaving his name off the

"Everything that's happened is because of the experience I've gained, not the age I attained." Weinke said in an acceptance speech in which he periodically swallowed hard.
Weinke, who led the nation with a school-record 4,167 yards passing and threw 33 touchdowns with 11 interceptions, totaled 1,628 points — 369 first-place

For now, the 6-foot-5, 229-pounder from St. Paul, Minn., has the edge by winning college football's most coveted individual award, but a national title is the biggest prize of all.
"That's what matters most," Weinke said.

MUHAMMAD
SUNYIP
With a sinker that dives at the mile-high elevation just as it does at sea level and an aversion to surrendering home runs, Hampton would seem an ideal fit — if there is one — for Colorado's thin air.
That's the hope of the Colorado Rockies, who signed Hampton to the richest contract in baseball history in a deal that became official on Saturday. Hampton, 28, will get $121 million for eight years. That's more than $15 million per year.
Hampton inks deal with Rockies
DENVER — If any pitcher can thrive in hitter-friendly Coors Field, surely Mike Hampton can.
幸
Moreover, Hampton is happy to be with the Rockies, saying he made the decision mainly because of his family and the Colorado lifestyle.
The Associated Press
Hampton would also seem to have the mental makeup to survive pitching at Coors Field.
"we got ourselves one tough guy," general manager Dan O'Dowd said at a news conference in Denver on Saturday night that followed a similar session earlier in the day at baseball's winter meetings in Dallas. "We need tough players, and we've got a clubhouse full of them. We just added one right here."
"One thing I've learned from being here a year is that you can't be just a normal player to play here in Colorado." Rockies manager Buddy Bell said. "This is a tough place to play, so we need tough people. After spending just five minutes with Mike, I knew this was a guy we had to have on our ballcub."
Hampton's new applauded the signing, just five days after Colorado signed another left-handed starter, Denny Neagle.

ROCKIES
"I'm ecstatic," said reliever Jerry Dipoto. "This gives us a legitimate starting rotation. I don't think they have
to change anything (to pitch at this altitude). Mike throws a hard cutter and a sinker, and Denny is a finesse pitcher."
"Every time I turn around, we keep getting better," Deean said.
Reliever Mike DeJane said the signings were a clear indication of management's intention to win a world championship.
"Mike wrote down nine teams," Rodgers said. "And the Rockies were not one of them. That gives you a sense of how far the Rockies have come in Mike's

ERA for the New York Mets last season after going 22-4 with a 2.90 ERA with Houston in 1999 and finishing second in the Cy Young voting.
Among Hampton's free-agent suitors, the Rockies came from nowhere to get him.
After Hampton's trade to the Mets a year ago, his agent, Mark Rodgers, asked the left-hander to select the

mind."
"Am I going to come here and lead the league in ERA? I don't know, probably not. But ERA has never mattered. What matters are wins. I'm 4-1 with a 6.88 ERA at Coors Field. Would you rather me be 1-4 with a 2.00? I don't think so. I think wins are what the fans want to see, regardless if it's a 10 game or a 20 game."
gotten more money elsewhere, but I wanted what was best for my family."
Hampton and his wife, Kautia, then met with Rockies officials last week at their home in Houston.
"I've had success with my sinker here," he said. "The movement is pretty similar to what it is anywhere else. I'm a sinkerball guy who keeps the ball down and doesn't give up many home runs. That's what I have to do to be successful."
Rodgers met with O'Dowd during the general managers' meetings last month, mostly as a courtesy, but the agent came away impressed with O'Dowd's energy and vision.
He is also convinced that the Rockies, 82-80 last season, can be winners.
"I knew probably two seconds after the meeting that they were going to be one of the five finalists," Hampton said. "We just knew these were our kind of people. I could probably have
"This team was better than 500 last year without a healthy Larry Walker," he said. "With him at 100 percent and the addition of Denny Neagle, this team can win, and win now."

Student reports hall date rape
Allegation is second in past three weeks
By Rob Pazell
By Rob Pazell
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas student said she was raped late Thursday evening on the seventh floor of McCollum Hall, marking the second acquaintance rape reported in the residence halls in the past three weeks.
"They had been with each other earlier in the evening." Mailen said "It was a routine, typical situation, nothing out of the ordinary."
Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office said early in the evening, the two students had been watching TV and had gone out to eat.
He said there was no indication of alcohol or drugs involved, and the factors indicated that it was an acquaintance-rape situation. Mailen said the crime still was under investigation.
That incident marked the third rape on campus this semester and the fourth of the
"It's important that students know that we are not immune to these crimes on campus," Mailen said.
year. It also was the fourth sex crime reported in the residence halls this semester.
Mailen said that acquaintance rape was an underreported crime on campus and that victims rarely came forward.
"We've seen two this past month and they came forward," he said. "We know that they occur, and hopefully, in working with the community, we can get these victims to come forward."
Mailen said for these crimes to be prevented, potential victims needed to send a clear message of no.
"Not I'm not sure' or 'Well, we shouldn't be doing this,' but 'No,'"" Mailen said. "Both parties need to understand that they don't have to go any further than their expressed desire."
Kelly Parker, Olathe freshman and resident of McColum Hall, said she had never thought of McColum as unsafe.
"There's always people around," Parker said. "It surprises me that it actually happened there."

Jeremy Garcia stood in an alley at dusk, watching two snarling dogs pull against their collars and their owners' grips.
Their short hair stood up in mohawk fashion along their spines. The street lights reflected off their bared, white teeth.
A crowd — dozens of men and a few women — stood around a slab of concrete and a makeshift wooden fence. Like Garcia, they were there to see a dog fight between a pit bull and Doberman pinscher.
Minutes later, the pit bull dispatched yet another Doberman challenger, ripping off its leg and leaving the defeated dog writhing in pain on the cold concrete.
The 65-pound, red-nosed pit bull lunged at the tall, slender Doberman, and sunk its teeth into the fleshy skin of the Doberman's neck, ripping the esophagus and spraying blood onto the pavement. The Doberman dropped to the ground, lifeless.
Dog fighting once was the domain of rural breeders who organized fights in barns to profit from sophisticated betting operations. Now, dog fighting has become the blood sport of choice for young males in Lawrence who demonstrate their masculinity through their pets in impromptu fights held in garages, alleys and other urban locations.
Midge Grinstead, executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society, said the society now sheltered — and in many cases euthanized — at least 50 dogs a year that were the battered survivors of such dog fights. She estimated that another 50 dogs never made it that far.
Despite the carnage the Humane Society sees from illegal dog fights, arrests in Lawrence are virtually nonexistent, and police say the law is difficult to enforce.
Who fights and why
Grinstead said she felt helpless to end the cruelty and dog fighting that occurs in Lawrence and Douglas County.
"They're not stupid," she said. "They know we're looking for them."
"They' are the young. working-class
men — most between the ages of 16 and 24 — who fight their dogs. Grinstead keeps a list of nearly 60 names, and she watches more than 30 addresses.
Grinstead often hears about fights, but she always gets there too late.
Grinstein said it was easy to spot the fighters. Hang out for a night in East or North Lawrence or Massachusetts Street downtown, she said, pointing out that strutting owners often parade their brawny dogs up and down the streets.
Garcia, a Lawrence resident, said walking his pit bull C章 (pronounced Cheena) down the street was a far cry from having a poodle on the end of a leash. People notice the muscles swelling beneath his dog's shiny, red coat. Sometimes, he said, police officers will comment on what a nice dog he has.
"When you walk down the street, you
feel like you're somebody," he said.
A tough-looking dog can do a lot for its owner's image. A fight-winning dog can do ever more.
Just ask Sam, a fan of pit bull fighting and friend of pit bull fighters, who asked that his real name not be used because animal fighting and gambling are illegal.
"You're gonna always respect the pit bull." he said.
He gestured to the television. The rappers on TV have power, money and success. Many also have pit bulls, and young kids are after the whole package — the image of looking tough.
But pit bull fighting is about more than displaying masculinity.
It's a sport, said Dan, a regular fight spectator, who also requested that his real name not be used. He compared it to boxing, where two men beat each other
to a pulp, or cock fighting and even bull fights in Spain. He said dog fighting was just another form of entertainment.
when you're there, it's just like watching a boxing match," he said. "I don't see anything wrong with it. It's just a sport." Sam, who regularly goes to fights, said his friends did it for the money.
When the fight starts, the money flies. Bets soar to $500, Sam said, and with a good dog that survives several fights, an owner can make up to $5,000.
Garcia said a "good dog" could survive up to 10 fights. The largest bet he ever saw, $4,300 in cash, was between the owners of two dogs that fought to the death.
The rightmost so is minutes
"Those dogs were so loyal," he said.

Classes continue despite icy, cold weather
University of Kansas students nestled in their beds with visions of a snow day dancing in their heads got a rude awakening yesterday morning.
By Meghan Bainum
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas went on with classes as usual, despite the layer of ice and snow that coated trees, cars and roads.
Because the car scraping was difficult, and driving to and walking on campus was slippery, many students such as Roy McLellan, Stillwell senior, thought the University should have canceled class.
"The airports are closed, every other school district is closed, and I heard today was the coldest day in Kansas history," McLellan said. "The worst part was having to walk to class because I couldn't get the ice off my car. I couldn't scrape it off."
Provost David Shulenburger said the University would be kept open and classes would continue unless it was physically impossible to move around on campus.
But the roads were not in good condition for the ride to class. Sgt. Mike Pattrick of the Lawrence Police Department said there were 60 to 70 vehicle accidents reported in Lawrence from the morning until 5 p.m. He said there may have been others that were not reported.
But Eichten, like many students, got to
Kate Eichten, Topeka freshman, said only about half of the people in her residence hall went to class. The other half were saying that class was canceled. Echten checked, found out that the University was open, and decided to go to class.
But yesterday, Shulenburger said. "Campus was clear, the busses were running, so of course, the University is going to hold classes."
Today: Partly cloudy, High 19 Low 12.

mursday: Partly cloudy, High 37 Low 27.
"I had to get up for a 8:30 evaluation," she said. "Why do teachers get an extra hour if students have to be there on time?"
But Shulenburger said students were not required to attend classes and encouraged them to use their best judgment.
"We don't have a mandatory attendance
policy, and if students felt like they couldn't have gotten in safely they should not have come in." Shulenburger said. "Our staff do have show-up times, so it's important to give some flexibility to them."
Still, not all students felt the University was in the wrong for having class yesterday.
Mary Segebrecht, Lake Quivira sophomore, said that while a day off would have been nice, it wouldn't have been practical for students or the University.
Shulenburger said the next time bad weather blew in, students should assume they have class as usual.
"I think it's important to go the last days of class," she said. "There's usually a lot of important information they cover."
"The University deals only with adults, and adults can make a decision for themselves whether they will come to classes or not," he said. "Everyone should assume we would always have school."

Commission to review housing limit
By Matt Merkel-Hess
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The City Commission will look again tonight at a proposed housing ordinance that limits to two the number of unrelated people who could live in a house in single-family neighborhoods.
The Planning Commission, an advisory body to the City Commission, voted against the proposed ordinance at a public hearing more than a month ago. Tonight, the City Commission will have the option of directing city staff to draft an ordinance, or to do nothing.
"We really don't know what will happen," said Mayor Jim Henry. "It's going to be completely wide open."
Public comment will be limited to three minutes per individual, and the commission is asking that only new information be presented. The public comment period will not exceed two hours.
If the commission does decide to move forward and direct city staff to draft an ordinance, there would be two more hearings of the ordinance at commission meetings in the spring before it became law, said Dave Corliss, assistant city manager.
Henry said nothing would be decided while students were on winter break.
"Whatever happens it's not going to be finally decided tonight," he said.
Holly Krebs, student rights committee chairwoman, said that representatives from Student Senate would be at tonight's meeting and that she hoped other students would come. She did express concern that students wouldn't find out about the results of the meeting because today is this semester's last edition of the University Daily Kansan.
"If the City Commission wants to be working with students, placing the first hearing on the Tuesday night before stop day is not the most effective way to deal with this," she said.
Krebs said she hoped the number of unrelated people allowed to live in single-family homes would remain at four, but she said three would be a better compromise if the commission felt it must do something.
"It wouldn't affect nearly as many students, but it would effect some," she said.
Arly Allen, a neighborhood leader, said he was caught offguard when the commission decided to hear the issue before the New Year. He also said a compromise of three rather than two unrelated people would be "totally worthless" because he said three people would still have a higher buying power than a single-parent or working-class family.
"A change to three would only be a slow death for the neighborhoods, not the rapid death we're seeing now," he said.

Because of an editor's error, the story "teen-ager charged in fatal crash" in Friday's Kansan contained a mistake. There was no party at Phi Gamma Delta the evening Sean Scott was there.
Also, the story failed to mention that the Lenexa Police Department has also investigated the crash. Det.

Fight results in injuries at Jayhawker Towers
A battery occurred Thursday on the third floor of Tower B of Jayhawker Towers, leaving both parties with minor injuries.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said the case was classified as a mutual combatant situation after an argument broke out between 2:47 and 2:55 p.m. Thursday between the male and female acquaintances. The woman grabbed the man by the neck, and the man pushed the woman away.
Officers were called to the fight, and the woman was transported with a head laceration to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. The man sustained scratch marks to the neck.
Mailen said a pet cincilla was injured before the crime took place but didn't play a direct role in the crime.
"The argument came out of a number of factors," Mailen said. "There wasn't just one item."

Man attempts to rob Wendy's restaurant
A man attempted to rob Wendy's, 523 W. 23rd St., early Saturday morning, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick said the man hid inside the restaurant, emerged once it had closed and asked for money. He was holding something in his hand, but employees were not sure whether it was a gun.
Patrick said the man grabbed one of the employees around the throat and led him to the office area.
When one of the employees recognized the man, he tried to escape. Patrick said. He had to crawl through the drive-thru window because the building was locked.
Patrick said the suspect was wearing a black jacket, black shirt, black jeans, black and white tennis shoes, a black scarf around his mouth and a
striped golf-style hat. Police later arrested a man at a convenience store who was wearing similar clothing.
Duwone Maurice Flowers was booked into the Douglas County Jail on charges of kidnapping, criminal damage and attempting to commit the robbery. He was being held yesterday on a $50,000 bond.

jury rules professor was not inappropriate
PITTSBURGH — A federal jury took less than an hour yesterday to rule in favor of a professor accused in a sexual harassment suit of making a remark about necrophilia during a class on death and dying.
A student, Jaimie Rising, had claimed that psychology professor Gordon Thornton made inappropriate comments that gave her nightmares about her dead father. She was seeking unspecified damages.
"Dr. Thornton was vindicated," said Robert Englesberg, a state attorney who represented Thornton and Indiana University of Pennsylvania. "It's been a nightmare for him."
Rising, 39, enrolled in Thornton's class at the university in Fall 1996 because several of her relatives had died in the previous two years, including her father. She claimed that, in the first two days, Thornton directed inappropriate comments to her.

Ford issues another recall for Explorers
DETROIT — Ford Motor Co. is recalling 110,633 Ford Explorers and Mercury Mountaineers to fix a device that is supposed to limit the vehicles' top speed — a problem that was uncovered during tests prompted by the Firestone tire recall.
Customers will be instructed to take their vehicles to dealers, who will reprogram the chip for free.
Ford said that model year 1999 and 2000 Explorers and Mountaineers with a 3,27 or 3.54 rear axle ratio and 15-inch Firestone Wilderness AT tires could reach a top speed above the 112 mph rating of the tires. A computer chip in the vehicles is supposed to limit their top speed to 106 mph, but a bug was discovered in the software.
No accidents or injuries have been blamed on the problem, said Ford representative Mike Vaughn.
Former prime minister wants to run again
JERUSALEM — Benjamin Netanyahu has taken up the challenge of Ehud Barak, who replaced him as Israel's prime minister 18 months ago, declaring he's running for the top job in snap elections whether Barak likes it or not.
As events unfolded rapidly in Israel's shortest election campaign ever, the focus turned to the parliament yesterday. Netanyahu called on lawmakers to make it possible for him to run in the elections, likely to take place in early February. According to Israeli law, the prime minister must be a member of parliament. But Netanyahu resigned from parliament after he was defeated by Barak in May 1999.

Airwaves up for auction
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Those dropped calls and network busy signals that infuriate American cell phone users — who have more than tripled in number to 97 million in the last five years — could be alleviated by a government auction of valuable airwaves today.
The 422 licenses that go on the auction block cover areas including much of the East Coast, large pockets of California, Texas and the Great Lakes region. That could help big carriers, like Verizon Wireless, AT&T Wireless and Sprint PCS, handle traffic in high demand areas and during peak calling hours.

"Everyone who uses a wireless phone knows the frustration of a dropped call," said William Kennard, head of the Federal Communications Commission. The auction could help address that problem and encourage innovation in offering new services, he said. "Consumers will see the immediate benefits."
The auction, expected to last several weeks, is already shaping up to be the most competitive in the agency's history, with 87 companies participating and more than $1.8 billion in upfront payments
collected. Analysts estimate the auction could bring in $10 billion to $18 billion for the licenses, found in the 1900 MHz range.

Web alleviates shopping woes
Students enjoy online-buying convenience
By Amber Huntzinger and Cassio Furtado
Special to the Kansan
Special to the Kansan
Some KU students are trading in the normal hustle and bustle, crowded parking lots and long lines of holiday shopping for the comfort of their own computer chairs.
Numerous online sites contain catalogs for major department stores and chains as well as small, independently owned shops and retailers.
Many of these merchants are willing to search for, send and even wrap any gift people could possibly want.
Gretchen Gray, Kansas City, Kan., junior, is bypassing the mall to surf the Web this season for gifts.
"I don't have time to do a lot of Christmas shopping this year," she said. "I found that by going online I have access to stores all over the country with a click of my mouse."
Eric Braun, St. Louis sophomore, said he preferred shopping for DVDs, CDs and computer software online at stores such as Amazon.com or Buy.com rather than going to local stores.
"Shopping online is good because you have access to many products and stores you don't
find here in Lawrence," Braun said.
But some Lawrence businesses also are taking part in the online shopping craze. Shop.lawrence.com provides links to local stores as well as gift certificates to restaurants and businesses across town.
Prairie Patches, 821 Massachusetts St., recently launched three Web sites catering to students, parents and alumni.
Cinda Garrison, owner of Prairie Patches, said she started prairiepatches.com, jayhawkheaven.com and sorority-heaven.com to reach out to people wondering what's available and what's new at her store.
Garrison tries to have all the items she sells in her store on the Web sites, too. Prairie Patches offers many specialized and personalized items.
"I try to have things you might not find other places," Garrison said.
Some sites and select department stores provide wish lists to help consumers find the perfect

gifts for their family and friends. Gray had her family register their wish lists.
People can even send Christmas cards via the Internet. Many sites allow Internet users to send colorful, personalized Christmas cards through the e-mail for free.
Katie Williams, Topeka sophomore, uses online Christmas cards for convenient, fast and free delivery.
"I can find Christmas cards for everyone on my list, enter in their e-mail addresses, pick a date for them to arrive and forget about it," she said. "I can do all of this and not pay a cent."
But some students, such as Justin Mills, Lansing senior, do not enjoy shopping online.
"I like to go shopping," he said. "I like to actually go to the mall and buy things."

Senate plans book exchange for students
By Kursten Phelps writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Students might squeeze more money from their books this semester if a book-exchange program works like its Student Senate organizers hope.
Michael Roessler, nontraditional senator and Senate academic task force member, said students could benefit by selling their used books to each other and buying them from each other and skipping the local bookstores.
Students who want to sell their books should fill out a form by tomorrow at the Senate office on the fourth-floor of the Kansas Union. Organizers will compile a list and publish it Friday. The list of books for sale will be posted in a Union display case and sent via email on various listservs
Students interested in buying a book would be responsible for making sure the book will be used for the class next semester and would contact the seller about buying the book
and arranging a time for a transaction.
"Ideally this is something that thousands of students could benefit from," Roessler said. "This semester, we're really just trying to get it off the ground and running, so hopefully a few dozen students will take advantage of it."
Virginia Welington Oklahoma City senior, said she thought the book exchanger was a good idea. "I don't know how feasible it is, whether it would work or not." Wellington said. "But I'd probably try it just to save some money."
Katie Holman, journalism senator and academic task force member, said it was appropriate for Senate to provide a forum for students to buy and sell their books.
"I just think Student Senate should provide a service like this," Holman said. "I think students definitely feel like they should be getting more money for their books."

New position focuses on commercializing University research
By Jason Krall
By Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A new administrator hopes to make the ideas of some tech-savvy students and faculty profitable, but some faculty are concerned that his efforts could take away from old-fashioned research.
Baxendale's appointment brings the commercialization of faculty and student ideas, papers, designs and inventions under one office for both campuses.
Jim Baxendale has been appointed executive director of technology transfer and intellectual property, a new position at the University. Baxendale had previously supervised those areas for the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute. Technology and intellectual property matters on the Lawrence campus have been handled by the KU Center for Research.
"We have to teach faculty to think commercialization, to understand the commercialization process and how to participate in it," Baxendale said in a written statement.
David Katzman, professor of American Studies, said the reorganization indicated that University officials wanted to
focus more effort on faculty research that could turn a profit.
"We privilege those things that bring in money, rather than focusing on the research contributions we make to knowledge and to our students," he said. "It does distort our values."
A University Council committee revised the
THE NEW POSITION
What happened: Jim Baxendale has been appointed executive director of technology transfer and intellectual property, a new position at the University. Baxendale previously oversaw those areas for the University of Kansas Medical Center.
What it means: Baxendale's appointment could mean a new emphasis on preparing student and faculty inventions to be commercialized. Some faculty fear that it reflects that technology and biosciences are the University's top priorities for research.
What's next: Baxendale hopes to help researchers at the Med Center and on the Lawrence campus to develop partnerships in overlapping research areas.

Barnhill said the policy revision and Baxendale's appointment were unrelated, and the reorganization did not reflect a change in priorities.
"This will be adding on to what we're currently doing," he said.
"This does not represent a refocusing in the sense that it could mean a shift in resources."

Fat burners could present health risks

The holiday season is here, and health and fitness magazines are pushing their "quick fix" to avoid holiday weight gain: fat burners.
Fat-burner supplements that claim to "speed up your metabolism" and "shed unwanted fat" are prevalent in Lawrence at places such as several Dillons locations and General Nutrition Center, 520 W. 23rd St., but some physicians and the Food and Drug Administration warn some fat burners are not safe.
Randall Rock, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said fat burners worked by increasing heart rate, but some fat burners could be dangerous and should be used with caution.
"Individuals should be weary of supplements that will increase metabolism because individuals might be exposed to other risks." Rock said.
The FDA agrees and has proposed all manufacturers have a label recommending limited use of ephedrine-caffeine drugs for a maximum of seven days and stating overuse could result in heart attacks, seizures or death.
But some students don't think they are unsafe; they think they're a rip-off.
Matt Rehder, a Lawrence senior who works at a gym, said he saw many clients who took fat-burning supplements but the pills were not effective.
"I personally think it is all bogus," he said. "I don't think you can lose fat by drinking a beverage or taking a pill."
Rock advised individuals to check the ingredients label on supplement products.
He said weight-loss supplements containing ephedrine or caffeine could burn calories but were potent central nervous system stimulants, meaning they could increase heart rate and blood pressure.
Rock said Watkins had seen many people who were experiencing bad side effects from diet supplements.
"We've seen individuals who are very uncomfortable, anxious or having a difficult time sleeping, which could all be related to these diet pills." Rock said.
The FDA has been notified of more than 800 "adverse events" associated with an ephedrine-caffeine combo, and 17 of those resulted in deaths. The FDA said mixing ephedrine-caffeine with other common medications, such as cold medicines, could result in irregular heartbeat and hypertension.

Web alleviates shopping woes
Students enjoy online-buying convenience
By Amber Huntzinger and Cássio Furtado
Special to the Kansan
Some KU students are trading in the normal hustle and bustle, crowded parking lots and long lines of holiday shopping for the comfort of their own computer chairs.
Numerous online sites contain catalogs for major department stores and chains as well as small, independently owned shops and retailers.
Many of these merchants are willing to search for, send and even wrap any gift people could possibly want.
Gretchen Gray, Kansas City. Kan., junior, is bypassing the mall to surf the Web this season for gifts.
"I don't have time to do a lot of Christmas shopping this year," she said. "I found that by going online I have access to stores all over the country with a click of my mouse."
Eric Braun, St. Louis sophomore, said he preferred shopping for DVDs, CDs and computer software online at stores such as Amazon.com or Buy.com rather than going to local stores.
"Shopping online is good because you have access to many products and stores you don't
find here in Lawrence," Braun said.
But some Lawrence businesses also are taking part in the online shopping craze. Shop.lawrence.com provides links to local stores as well as gift certificates to restaurants and businesses across town.
Prairie Patches, 821 Massachusetts St., recently launched three Web sites catering to students, parents and alumni.
Cinda Garrison, owner of Prairie Patches, said she started prairiepatches.com, jayhawkheaven.com and sorority-heaven.com to reach out to people wondering what's available and what's new at her store.
Garrison tries to have all the items she sells in her store on the Web sites, too. Prairie Patches offers many specialized and personalized items.
I try to have things you might not find other places," Garrison said.
Some sites and select department stores provide wish lists to help consumers find the perfect
"Now I can just enter in their email address and find out what is on their Christmas lists," she said.
gifts for their family and friends. Gray had her family register their wish lists.
People can even send Christmas cards via the Internet. Many sites allow Internet users to, send colorful, personalized Christmas cards through the e-mail for free.
Katie Williams, Topeka sophomore, uses online Christmas cards for convenient, fast and free delivery.
"I can find Christmas cards for everyone on my list, enter in their e-mail addresses, pick a date for them to arrive and forget about it," she said. "I can do all of this and not pay a cent."
But some students, such as Justin Mills, Lansing senior, do not enjoy shopping online.
"I like to go shopping." he said. "I like to actually go to the mall and buy things."

Senate plans book exchange for students
By Kursten Phelps
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students might squeeze more money from their books this semester if a book-exchange program works like its Student Senate organizers hope.
Students interested in buying a book would be responsible for making sure the book will be used for the class next semester and would contact the seller about buying the book
Michael Roessler, nontraditional senator and Senate academic task force member, said students could benefit by selling their used books to each other and buying them from each other and skipping the local bookstores.
Students who want to sell their books should fill out a form by tomorrow at the Senate office on the fourth-floor of the Kansas Union. Organizers will compile a list and publish it Friday. The list of books for sale will be posted in a Union display case and sent via email on various listservs
and arranging a time for a transaction.
"Ideally this is something that thousands of students could benefit from," Roessler said. "This semester, we're really just trying to get it off the ground and running, so hopefully a few dozen students will take advantage of it."
Virginia Wellington,
Oklahoma City senior, said
she thought the book
exchanger was a good idea.
"I don't know how feasible
it is, whether it would
work or not." Wellington
said. "But I'd probably try
it just to save some
money."
Katie Holman, journalism senator and academic task force member, said it was appropriate for Senate to provide a forum for students to buy and sell their books.
"I just think Student Senate should provide a service like this," Holman said. "I think students definitely feel like they should be getting more money for their books."

New position focuses on commercializing University research
By Jason Krall
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A new administrator hopes to make the ideas of some tech-savvy students and faculty profitable, but some faculty are concerned that his efforts could take away from old-fashioned research.
Jim Baxendale has been appointed executive director of technology transfer and intellectual property, a new position at the University. Baxendale had previously supervised those areas for the University of Kansas Medical Center Research Institute, Technology and intellectual property matters on the Lawrence campus have been handled by the KU Center for Research.
Baxendale's appointment brings the commercialization of faculty and student ideas, papers, designs and inventions under one office for both campuses.
"We have to teach faculty to think commercialization, to understand the commercialization process and how to participate in it," Baxendale said in a written statement.
David Katzman, professor of American Studies, said the reorganization indicated that University officials wanted to
focus more effort on faculty research that could turn a profit.
"We privilege those things that bring in money, rather than focusing on the research contributions we make to knowledge and to our students," he said. "It does distort our values."

THE NEW POSITION
What happened: Jim Baxendale has been appointed executive director of technology transfer and intellectual property, a new position at the University. Baxendale previously oversaw those areas for the University of Kansas Medical Center.
What's next: Baxendale hopes to help researchers at the Med Center and on the Lawrence campus to develop partnerships in overlapping research areas.
What it means: Baxendale's appointment could mean a new emphasis on preparing student and faculty inventions to be commercialized. Some faculty fear that it reflects that technology and biosciences are the University's top priorities for research.
Meyen said faculty sometimes were unaware of the commercial applications for their ideas and inventions, and an office such as Baxendale's could help them realize their work's full potential.

Israel, U.S. near brink of illegitimacy
While the United States still plays the count and recount game in Florida and in Washington D.C., the rest of the world suffers the consequences of this uncertainty.
Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak resigned Sunday. By doing that, Barak, member of the Israeli Labor Party, seeks what none of the two candidates still running for president here will ever have—a mandate.
indicate. Barak won the elections in 1999 against Benjamin Netanyahu, then prime minister and still a Likud Party member. It is important to remind you that Barak was elected in the first place only because Netanyahu wasn't able to negotiate solid peace agreements with the Palestinians, Netanyahu's
The Likud has traditionally had a more aggressive stance regarding the peace agreements in the region. It has never tried very hard to be conciliatory with the Palestinians, and that hasn't played very well with the Israeli people.
actions, to some extent,
led to the turmoil that that's
happening now, under
Barak's government.
Opinion polls show that the majority of the country's people sun-
port peace with the Palestine Authority, which means that any candidate envisioning a bid for the highest office in Israel will have to be seen as a peacemaker. Netanyahu couldn't do that during his tenure as prime minister, so he lost to Barak in a landslide.
Barak wasn't able to fix the situation — he has resigned.
Cassio Furtado columnist opiningokansan.com
None of the main parties that make up the Knesset — the Israeli parliament — really wants to give up what it should to achieve peace. They are merely playing with the people to stay in power. Palestinians have consistently blamed Ariel Sharon, the Likud chairman, for the beginning of the recent clashes in the Middle East. Sharon visited one of the sites that are considered sacred by both Jews and Arabs — and the Arabs obviously didn't like that.
since his visit Sept. 28, more than 300 people have died, mostly of which are Palestinians. Public opinion in Israel has obviously disapproved of that. Netanyahu leads Barak in the most recent polls by considerable margins. One of the latest opinion polls used by CNN gave Netanyahu 45 percent support against Barak's 28 percent.
harak's resignation, therefore, is a very smart move. The Knisset had called for new elections next year, and that would open the door for Netanayu to run, which would almost certainly give him a victory.
By resigning, Barak forces new elections in a period of two months. This election, according to Israeli law, can only be open to Knesset members.
Netanyahu is not a member of the Knesset.
Barak would then have to run against a Knesset member — probably Sharon, leader of the Likud. And it is obvious that although Barak trails in the polls against NETanyahu, he would certainly prevail against Sharon, winning a new term.
However, would that imply a new mandate?
The Knesset would have to be dissolved in order for Netanyahu to run — and most members admit that they would need more than 60 days to dissolve it.
Running against one of the most radical political figures in a country where most of the people have consistently said that they support peace can give Barak anything but a mandate. It would be something like George W. Bush running against Pat Buchanan.
In that situation, even Democrats would vote for the Texas governor.
israel, like its most powerful ally, the United States, is taking the risk of having a totally illegitimate government. Here, it's because votes weren't counted; there, it's because the only strong challenger wasn't allowed to run. But both situations can still change, I hope.

Santa Claus, Jesus and the real meaning of Christmas
G
rowing up, Christmas meant only two things: Santa Claus and presents. The entire Christmas season was dedicated to and completely centered around
the big man in red and, of course, wherever there was Santa, there were also presents.
This was all Christmas meant to me, but there is so much more. It wasn't until I was older and had accepted Jesus into my heart that I discovered what Christmas really meant. This past summer I had a close view
of what it means to be in the most joyful time of year while visiting the birthplace of Jesus in Bethlehem, Israel.
Looking back, I still remember some of the toys that I unwrapped from under the Christmas tree. When I was 3 years old, I woke up to find a small Smurf motorcycle — training wheels included, of course. I remember playing on the little piano my grandparents gave me when I was 5. When I was
]
7 and 8, my presents were Pound Puppies and Barbies.
As a kid, I was taught that a baby named Jesus was born, some rich men came and brought him gifts and this was why I got presents every Christmas morning. The presents were really all I cared about, since that was what the main focus of the holiday had always been. "Who wants what?" and "How can we get it for them?" were the big seasonal questions.
Besides all of the marketed Christmas hype, which has become a fundamental part of my childhood yuletide memories, is the thought of what Christmas is really about.
Beyond this, I knew nothing about Jesus or Christmas except what I knew about Santa Claus, Rudolph and the other reindeer. I knew more about St. Nicholas than I ever did about Jesus. I'm curious to know, out of so many people who celebrate the Christmas holiday, how many actually celebrate what it is really about?
For the longest time, I had no clue. I truly believed it was all about the lights, the trees, the presents, the wrapping paper, the snow, the TV specials and commercials. Out of all of these things how can a mere baby be more important?
Amanda
Ahlgren
guest columnist
opinion@kansan.com
This past summer I took a trip to Israel. It was on my visit to Bethlehem, at the very site where Jesus was born, that I became overwhelmed with the real meaning of Christmas. On July 29, I wrote this in my journal:
“Will you believe me when I tell you that I am in Bethlehem? I'm listening now to a procession of Franciscan chants as they walk down to the place of Jesus' birth — a place I just visited. It is hard to be alone, and yet I know that even when there are no people to be found — to stand by me, to talk with me, to love me — I am never really alone. I am never alone because of Jesus. By God's grace, his amazing grace, a child was born in a manger, in Bethlehem. That night, about 2000 years ago, I was saved, I was forgiven and I was loved — completely and totally loved.”
This Christmas, as I travel back home to Minnesota to be with my family, I will remember the words that I wrote the day I visited Bethlehem. No matter where I spend Christmas, or whether there are gifts, or whether I see The Grinch on the big screen, I will remember what Christmas really means to me and what it is really all about — the one whose birthday we continue to celebrate.

Editorial
Students' initiative necessary
It will take students, not just funding, to improve KU's minority retention.
Minority enrollment is down at the University of Kansas, and the solution involves more than just giving money to prospective students. Students and the administration should work collectively to make the University a diverse institution.
Sending out brochures with happy minority faces attached is only a short-term solution. Minority students soon arrive to find that they make up only about 9 percent of the student body and that they may be the only minority students in their classes. Giving scholarship money is done in vain if there are no efforts to retain students.
Before the University can effectively attract new minority students, it must support the efforts to create a healthy environment for minority students who already attend the University. Some of the best recruiting is done by students on campus. If these students do not feel as though efforts are being made or that their own efforts are not supported, it will continue to be difficult to recruit more minority students.
The HawkLink program and the Office of Multicultural Affairs need support from the administration in all of their efforts not only to recruit minority students but also to retain those students. The administration should continue to offer these offices financial support and increased exposure to students during campus visits and through mailings.
Students have just as much power and influence to affect minority recruitment and retention. They can work with the administration to make sure minority students automatically receive detailed information about available minority programs. Minority organizations should make efforts to be visible during the first few weeks of school by setting up tables at campus fairs or passing out fliers at local events.
Those organizations should continue to plan programs that bring minority students together to build a stronger community. If we want to see more minority students at the University, minority students must make themselves visible and available.

Letters to the editor Athletics trumps academics in parking war at University
I have a question for the University of Kansas administration. Which is more important to you: The students who pay a considerable amount of money to attend your University or the amount of money that can be made off parking for intercollegiate athletics?
Every time there is a KU basketball game, hundreds of students are not allowed to park at the Robinson Gymnasium parking lot. Why not? These students have paid at least $100 to $300 per credit hour and also have paid $55 for a parking permit that specifically allows them to park at Robinson. These students are generally graduate students who work full-time jobs or graduate students who are employees of the University. No matter; KU administrators have decided that even though you have a parking permit and likely have gone into debt to pay tuition, you cannot park here.
An then it's time for KU to turn a profit.
On basketball game days, administrators will say these students can simply pay the $6 to park there (effectively making them pay for the same parking spot (wice) or say they can park elsewhere and walk. Parking somewhere else simply does not work. Many night-class students race from work to get here on time, and they do not have time to find a parking spot six blocks from the University. If an administrator thinks this is no big deal, I challenge him or her to try to pull off this feat.
Also, a large majority of graduate teaching assistants and graduate research assistants — employees of this University — are unable to park at their worksite. So even though GTAs could get to school at 6:00 a.m. and never leave school until they get done with night class, they have to move their vehicle or get towed.
Please remember: These students are employees of the University, pay tuition and have purchased a parking permit that is now rendered worthless. I am sure this letter will fall upon deaf ears. It seems much more important for KU to make $6 on every car that parks at Robinson than it is for our students and employees to attend the University. It seems much more important that this University make a profit that to allow hard-working students to have any rights.
After all, how much would it hurt to let these students park? How much can you profit from athletics before this school becomes the University of Kansas Corporation?

Recreational sex promotes false intimacy, ignores God
ational sex, promiscuity and lust ("Different strokes for different folks," Nov. 30). As love's opposite, lust is a wanderer; impersonal, unfocused, short-lived and concerned with taking rather than giving.
I am concerned with the recent Kansan article that used sensationalism to promote recre-
The Kansan speaks out against a female soccer player being fondled and is likely disturbed by its reported incidences of rape; however, it readily approves of behaviors and attitudes that feed from this same trough of seeing others as a means to an end — as mere objects from which one finds self gratification.
Are we mere animals after all? Sex will always fascinate and lure us, yet its pleasure becomes an addiction for millions while only masking a deeper pain. Its false intimacy fails to satisfy our intense yet God-given longings for acceptance and meaning.
Yes, I am saddened by the way we've sold sex as an end in and of itself when it is really a sacred and mysterious bond. However, I am even more disturbed that beneath this behavior is a human heart that disregards a Loving Creator. All of us seek false gods and, therefore, live for ourselves in various ways, yet until our hearts are broken before Love Incarinate, we will never find the fulfillment and purpose God intended.

Article wrongly asserts that raves revolve around ecstasy
I feel that your article on ecstasy ("Raving about ecstasy," Wednesday) was very misinformed. The dates on your timeline were not correct, as well as the supposed composition of the pills. As for the erroneous and closed-minded assumption that raves center around the drug use, your writers clearly revealed their ignorance and incompetence regarding the rave community.
This misrepresentation is more than deserving of an apology. I, as well as a number of my friends are members of DanceSafe, a nonprofit organization dedicated to educating the rave community on safety matters concerning ecstasy. I encourage you to look at the Web site for more information: www.dancesafe.org. I would be very interested in setting the record straight

Kansan tobacco ad conflicts with paper's editorial content
Isn't it funny when college campus papers run article after article on movements to end smoking in buildings, on responsible drinking and when the paper serves a state institution that does not allow smoking in state buildings, runs an ad for chewing tobacco? Isn't it funny that a college campus paper that serves an institution of higher learning where we learn first hand all that tobacco can do to a person
runs an ad for chewing tobacco? Isn't it funny how irresponsible this ad is? Isn't it funny how the ad reads "The Legend Continues" when tobacco can kill! Isn't it funny that a campus paper that serves the students would help promote a product that is known to be deadly to students? Isn't it funny that almost everyone of us can point to someone in our life that has been affected by tobacco and wish they were still here?
Isn't it funny? No!
We see what the tobacco money can do to stop or slow legislation, but what is worse is how they can throw enough money into advertising, that papers, networks and other media will bow to the money and lose their spines.
This letter is written to the editors of the University Daily Kansan after receiving the Dec. 7 edition of the paper and noticing the full-page advertisement on the back cover. Thank you all for helping to promote this erroneous image of smokeless tobacco. I lost two people in my life to tobacco (not smoking). I sigh they were still with me today!

University should make changes before fire strikes housing
I am a freshman at KU and a resident of McCollum Hall. I am writing to voice my concern about the frequent and unnecessary fire drills in not only my hall, but all of the residence halls. I can't count on all of my appendedes the number of times I have awakened to the blaring of a horn at 3 in the morning. Why?
Not because there is a real fire, but because a drunk, bored freshman has stumbled in and thinks it would be the perfect nightcap to an evening of getting thrown out of The Hawk. What is even more annoying than freezing my butt off for 20 minutes in pajama pants and my shower sandals is the lack of effort to catch the [people] who pulled the alarm on the part of the administration. I am paying how many thousands of dollars to come here and they can't even put a box over the alarm or a camera to monitor it? I think if the administration were woken up by the unholy sound of a fire alarm, they might do something about it.
In addition, it has become a "boy who cried wolf" situation. Most of the people in my hall now assume that it's just a drill and hide in their closet until it's over. Not only is this stupid, but it also endangers lives. Hello? Anyone heard of Seton Hall in New Jersey? Sixteen people died in the same situation. It costs a lot more money to replace a life than to put in a surveillance camera. I have no problem stumbling down a flight of $'s tairs in a sleepy haze at 4 a.m. if there is a real fire hazard. I do have a problem with finding out that nothing is being done about this serious situation.

Students may take electives, Western Civ at Haskell
By Mark Hansen
Special to the Kansan
KU students can take electives and fulfill the Western Civilization requirement at Haskell Indian Nations University -but only two at a time.
An agreement between Haskell and the University of Kansas allows students from each school to take classes not offered at their school at the other institution and receive credit.
other instructor in Western Civilization, although taught at both schools, is an exception because the KU department of
Western Civilization decided the content is different yet similar enough to fulfill the KU requirement, said Carol Prentice, assistant to the provost.
Prentice said two students from each school were allowed to take the same class at the same time so all the spots would not be taken. The KU Spring 2001 timetable does not have the correct course offerings at Haskell, and students can contact the provost's office at 864-4904 with questions.
George Godfrey, vice president of academic affairs at Haskell, said the
goal was to over Hasken students classes they didn't have at their school and vice versa.
Dan Wildcat, professor of humanities at Haskell has taught Western Civilization at both universities. He said the Western Civilization program at Haskell covered more history and emphasized the environment and the tradition of indigenous people.
Brett Ramey, Springfield, Mo., junior, took a history class at Haskell and said it taught some topics covered the KU program.
Ramey, who is part Native American, has been a part of Native American and non-native communities. He said because he did not grow up on a reservation, he was able to see the advantages and disadvantages of both. Ramey said he benefited from the environment at Haskell.
"There are more presentations and projects related to your tribe," he said. "It lays resources out for me. The environment is real accepting. It doesn't matter how much blood you have; there's no cliques or factions." — Edited by Warisa Cholinda
Administrator juggles varied duties, interests
Bv Katie Teske
Special to the Kansan
Diana Carlin is the type of person who could give a great interview without being asked a question. Maybe it's because she's been interviewed so many times
by major newspapers and media mavens such as as C-SPAN and National Public Radio.
Atong with being a teacher and administrator at the University of Kansas, she maintains an interest in politics and is dean of the graduate school and international studies. Carlin teaches a political debate class from 4 to 7 p.m. Tuesdays and an honors tutorial class on elections for one hour on Thursdays.
The media is interested in Carlin because of her political knowledge. Her research has helped transform the way presidential debates are run.
Provost David Shulenburger said students could learn the value of being prepared from her.
"She gets into the issues, examines them thoroughly, examines the multiple courses of action, consults a lot with people to make sure that she's got the right analysis and that her decisions are good ones, and she's not afraid to go ahead and take action," he said. "Just exactly the way you'd want someone to carry out a job."
While teaching at the University of Maryland in Washington, Carlin researched the presidential debates. With the experience gained from this research, she organized DebateWatch 2000. This was her second election year to do so.
"She's handled that national debate project so well," Shulenburger said.
Carlin said she saw some good in this year's election dispute. She said it proved that a single vote did matter and that the election said a lot about our system; that it eventually works. If another country was going through the same situation, it would experience chaos, Carlin said. But in the
United States, the problem would work itself out. She said that proved institutions were bigger than individuals.
Carlin also has a love of the performing arts, which she shares with Kansas kids through ARTS, a program that brings live theater productions to Kansas communities for kids who would not otherwise see them. The performances, which are for elementary, middle and high school students, are free. Many of the students don't have access to performing arts and have never seen a live performance. They get to be crew members and meet the performers, and each performance tends to have a moral.
She said the performances awoke something in kids, and she enjoyed watching their faces.
"This is truly larger than life to them," she said.
In 1998, Carlin was named an "Outstanding Educator" by KU Mortar Board, a national senior honorary society. This year, she received the W.T. Kemper teaching fellowship award.
Jo Anne Kready, administrative officer in charge of Carlin's schedule, said Carlin was very energetic.
gene.
On Carlin's list of offices is the advisory board for the Commission on Presidential Debates, president and vice chair of the Advisory Committee on the ARTS for the Kennedy Center in Washington, chair of the board of Kids Voting Kansas and member of the National Board of Directors for Kids Voting USA.
"I get tired just watching her go all the time." Kready said.
Kready said Carlin worked more than 40 hours during the workweek, usually had something to go on Saturday or Sunday and tried to get paperwork completed during the weekends as well.
"She could be working day and night all week and still not be caught up." Kready said. "I know that she doesn't need a lot of sleep, because she doesn't get it."

Illegal dog fights invade Lawrence streets

"They had part of their paws missing, ears, part of their cheeks — and they were still going."
The fights
in town, school grounds after hours are a common fight location, as are hospital parking lots, dark alleys and conversion vans. Outside Lawrence, a barn near Lone Star Lake has a pit dug out of its floor for fighting, Grinstead said. Twelve logging chains attached to the barn walls are used to hold back the dogs. To identify fight locations, Grinstead said she watched for lookouts straddling their bikes on street corners or mailboxes left hanging open both signs that say "the fight is here."
Garcia has been to fight in living rooms. Other times, chain-link fences or a circle of hay bales serve as the pit. Even an abandoned swimming pool will work, he said.
There's a fight every day in Lawrence, he said. Some are planned days in advance, but others are more impromptu.
a fight will begin.
The pit bulls are trained to fight and to kill, and putting two dogs in a ring together is all the encouragement they need.
"they throw two dogs in there," Sam said. "Then you let them go. Boom — you let them fight. That's the one you want — the one that grabmes him by the throat."
Sam stood in the middle of his living room, waving his arms and jabbing his finger toward an imaginary dog, yelling "Kill, kill, kill" to demonstrate the common reactions of fight-watchers.
non reactions of agitation. Garcia said a dog 'knows to go exactly for the throat or take its legs out or bite it where it can't see." he said.
The dogs make yelping noises, Dan said,
but the yelping is not a sign of weakness.
"they are all pain, he said. The yelp out of anger."
"I said, pit, bulls can extreep 2,600
said. "They yelp out of anger. García

said.
Most fights last only a few seconds, he said, but he once saw two dogs fight for nearly half an hour.
At the end, a "break stick" is stuck into the dogs' mouths to pry them apart.
"They're just like alligators," Garcia said. "Once they're on you, they ain't letting go."
The training
Pit bulls are known for their loyalty and initially were bred as hunters to bring down deer, Grinstead said. Their jaw
strength is greater than that of any other dog, but their killer instinct really isn't an instinct at all — it's a result of intense training.
Pit bull owners such as Garcia emphasize that the dogs are good-natured and are trained to be aggressive.
"First, you gotta train them to be mean," Sam said. "That's the difference between the bitty-bitty pit bull and the other pit bull."

C
Train the dog to be vicious at a young age, he said. Then don't feed it for a couple of days and put it in the ring with the other dog.
Garcia, who likes tough-looking dogs, said he once trained his pit bull by running it on a treadmill. He said other owners have their dogs drag logging chains around the house, carry weights in their mouths or even pull a car down the street. He described how trainers employ what's called a spring pole — a spring attached to a rope and hung from a tree or ceiling. The dog jumps up, grabs a piece of hide and then swings in the air by its jaws.
Garcia said a friend of his once trained a pit bull to fight by having it jump high into the air to latch onto a car tire suspended from a rope. The dog was strong enough that Garcia — at more than 200 pounds — then could hang on to its collar and swing along with it.
- Grinstead, of the Humane Society, said
  the training regimen was brutal.
*The dogs' ears are cut off with razor*
*blades or scissors, she said, so they can't be*
*used as "handles" to latch onto in a fight.*
Grinstead said kittens and puppies were used as bait and rewards during training. Before a fight starts, dogs are "bled," or excited, by killing the small animals, she said.
Sometimes, an overanxious pit bull doesn't need the excuse of a fight to kill. Margaret Sloan, Lawrence resident, called the police after her kitten was killed by a stray pit bull as it ran down the street, dragging the kitten in its mouth.
Garcia said other owners gave their dogs steroids or fed them raw meat mixed with gun powder.
"The one that's eating the gun powder or receiving the drug shots is going to be crazier," he said.
The law and Lawrence
In Kansas, fighting dogs is the least severe felony, said Jerry Little, Douglas County assistant district attorney, and carries a maximum sentence of 13 months in prison.
The minimum sentence, Little said, is five months in prison, but the judge's decision would depend on the accused's criminal history. He said an offender with no prior convictions would receive a suspended sentence and immediate probation.
Pat Wagner, program specialist with the Illegal Animal Fighting Task Force of the Humane Society of the United States, said Kansas dog-fighting laws were similar to those across the country, and dog fighting was a felony in all but five states.
was a victory in her fight. Wagner said she once began a study of how many counties in each state had suspected or known dog fighting.
"The answer is every county in every state" she said.
It's a nationwide problem that happens in both rural and urban settings, she said.
"The gangs and the young kids are the easiest to see doing it." Wagner said about dog fighting's new culture. "The professionals are so clandestine."
Catching dog fighters is almost impossible, Bell said. By the time the police receive a call and respond, street fights are finished. The only evidence is two beat-up dogs, and both owners will say they were walking their dogs when a fight spontaneously broke out.
it's hard to catch pit bull fighters, agree Sergeant Doug Bell, supervisor of the Lawrence Police Department's animal control division. In fact, he said, he didn't know of any Lawrence arrests for dog fighting.
"It's not illegal for people to stand on corners with dogs." he said.
Bell said that dog fighting was not a major concern in Lawrence and that he would probably charge violators with cruelty to animals, a misdemeanor under city law. Only if it were a ring of dog fighters

Lieutenant Kathy Tate said the same for the county. She said there had been reports of pit bull puppies being stolen, but in 14 years at the Douglas County Sheriff's Office she had never become aware of a dog-fight arrest.
would he file it with the county as a felony,
he said.
Bell said he didn't think dog fights were as much a problem here as Grinstead did
"She has her opinions, and I guess I have mine," Bell said, adding that the Humane Society could be privacy to more information than the police department.
Grinstead said she was frustrated by the attitude of police toward dog fighting.
"I think we're a big joke to them, and it's depressing," she said.
The past and current status
Paul Miller, a former national investigator with the Humane Society of the United States, said those who fought dogs often were involved in other illegal activities, and law enforcement should take notice.
Miller worked undercover, raiding dog fights in
California for 12 years. Now, as director of animal services with the Chattanooga, Tenn., Police Department, he said in a telephone interview dog fighters often were guilty of more crimes than cruelty to animals.
He said almost all dog fighters also gambled illegally, and many had ties to illegal drugs.
drugs. Miller said law enforcement officials often thought dog fighting was limited to large, organized activities. But street fights are a felony and need to be addressed, he said.
"Oh well, it's just kids," Miller said, describing the mentality of police officers who witness street fights. "They don't realize they're leading to bigger things," the worst of which could be violence against humans, he said.
More information For a humane society video about animal fighting, a copy of the Kansas statute banning animal fighting and links to related materials. See www.kansan.com
Miller said dog fighting always had occurred, but the profile of those participating was changing. He said police thought mostly about the older generation who participated in organized fights for money and ignored the other culture of young males who fought dogs to demonstrate power.
Miller said the "old timers" kept accurate records, cross bred their dogs and followed up on each dog's performance.
More information
up on each dog. Each puppy would sell for up to $1,000 and participate, as adults, in several fights, which would last up to two hours.
Such old timers were "pro" dog fighters, Miller said, and included doctors, lawyers
and women. Each fight would see up to $25,000 in bets change hands, and dog-fighting rings of that culture were as efficient as those of drug traffickers.
But recently, Miller said, dog fighting has entered the world of young males. They own dogs that aren't properly conditioned, and they fight them in unorganized fights, he said.
Today's younger fighters do not maintain their dogs' bloodlines, he said. Fights are shorter and end with the last aggressive dog winning.
For most dog owners, pit bull fighting boosts the owner's ego, and in the world of fighting dogs, the owner's status must remain impeccable. Miller said this often meant owners completely dissociated themselves from a losing dog.
"If they have a dog that's credible, it's a 'we'-type situation." Miller said. "We won' or 'he lost'"
"They say they are bonded with them," he said. "I think there are some that think they are. In their own mind, they're bonded."
Miller said some dog fighters did care for their dogs and were sorry to see them lose or die.
The end
When a dog loses — or worse, refuses to fight — the common view is that it doesn't deserve to live. Garcia said.
But for the loyal pit bull, refusing to fight is rare.
is earl. Gecia said he'd heard of pit bulls fighting even after their legs were broken. They want to fight, he said, and they have the stamina to do so.
stamina to do so.
"The fights I've been to, the dogs would still be biting each other lying on the floor." Garcia said.
but still locked on one another. In violent efforts, the losers
The dogs refuse to give in, he said. They will be whining, exhausted, unable to move but still locked on one another
Despite their vallent efforts, the losers — at least the bodies of the dead ones — are simply dumped into the trash. Garcia said he never found out what happened to the Doberman that lost but still was alive and missing a leg.
Grinstead said some dog fighters rid themselves of losing animals as they would "a disposable lighter." She will never forget the dog she was called to pick up along a Douglas County road — the chewed-up loser of a fight. She said the dog had been discarded like a piece of garbage — flung from its owner's moving vehicle. By the time she got to it, it had been hit by another car.

Stolen pets help train pit bulls
By Jana Smoot Special to the Kansan
The shadowy world of dog and cat napping means that lost Lawrence pets may not simply have wandered away.
Animal lovers say people who fight pit bulls also steal other pets to train their animals.
Dogs and cats of any size have a place in the training of pit bulls.
Midge Grinstead, executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society, said dog fighting seemed to be the No. 1 reason local animals were stolen.
"We have gang bangers who are not professional dog fighters, but they will steal your animal." Grinstead said.
"Just like you would give your dog a bone, they will give it a cat," she said.
Pit bulls kill puppies and small dogs before a fight as part of a "blooding" ritual.
"They will use your pet as a money maker to fight other pit bulls, or they will find some other way to use it," Grinstead said.
"it gets their adrenaline going," Grinstead said. "It gets their blood pumping, and it gets them ready to fight."
Dog tighters use small pets, such as cats and puppies, to bait their fight dogs. Grinstead said kittens and cats were used as treats for the dogs after they had completed a training regimen.
"You'll see as a trainer where you need to go from there to condition your dog," Grinstead said.
Trainers use larger dogs, like Labrador retrievers and rottweilers, in mock fights with the pit bulls in order to test the ability of their dog.
"You're pretty much limited to witnesses," said Cottengil. He added that no witnesses meant no case.
Local police can do little about stolen pets. The Lawrence Police Department classifies animal abduction as property theft. Officer Charles Cottengim said that a pet owner could file a complaint concerning a stolen animal, but police need solid proof for prosecution.
A microchip containing an identification code is inserted with a needle just under the animal's skin between the shoulder blades. A hand-held scan-

Humane Society said that although a chip would not prevent a dog from being stolen, it could help get the animal back.
"It is a permanent identification and proves your ownership of that animal." Hoobler said.
The Lawrence Humane Society offers this service to pet owners for $20 and inserts chips in all of the animals that are adopted from the shelter.
Lawrence-area veterinarians offer this service at varying costs. Lawrence Veterinary Hospital will insert a chip from the Humane Society at no cost to the owner, Clinton Parkway Animal Hospital insert chips in animals for $39.95 and also offers a discount if the pet is being spayed or neutered.
There are less-permanent ways for pet owners to deter thieves. Grinstead said that fences protected pets while they were in a yard but that a fence should be at least six feet tall and also have locks on any gates.
One of the best ways to prevent theft is never to allow a pet outside alone.
"The best thing is to keep your dog or cat inside." Grinstead said. "When they go outside is when you go outside."
Grinstead said that once pit bull fighters took animals, it was very likely they would end up dead.
"You aren't going to get your pet back from these people, so you need to make sure to protect your animal," she said.

U.S. Supreme Court hears case
No timetable set for crucial ruling in Gore vs. Bush
The Associated Press
Holding nine crucial votes in America's election saga, U.S. Supreme Court justices quizzed campaign lawyers yesterday about a muddle of Florida recount laws and the judicial branch's power to settle Bush vs. Gore case that may determine the 43rd
— the case that may determine the 43rd president.
president. "We'll await the outcome," Texas Gov. George W. Bush said after 90 minutes of historic oral arguments.
historic or official No timetable was set for a ruling that could end Democrat Al Gore's quest for the presidency or throw open the state to recounts, jeopardizing Bush's officially certified, razor-thin lead. Florida's 25 electoral votes would put either man in the White House.
In case the court rules against Bush, Florida's GOP-led Legislature moved closer yesterday to naming its own slate of electors loyal to the Texas governor.
Separate House and Senate panels recommended the GOP slate after a constitutional scholar told lawmakers "the buck stops here."
The Supreme Court rushed against a deadline set for today for states to select presidential electors. The Electoral College meets Dec. 18, and Congress will count electoral votes Jan. 6.
If left unsettled for much longer, the 2000 presidential election could spill into a GOP-controlled Congress, where House Majority Whip Tom DeLay vowed that Republicans would "stand up and do our constitutional duty."
The candidates watched from afar. Bush, who has been certified the victor by 537 votes out of 6 million cast, talked to his legal team from Texas and said the lawyers were cautiously optimistic. Gore was at his official residence in Washington, while three of his children — Karenna, Kristin and Albert III — attended the session.
Chief Justice William Rehqunit gaveled the session open: "We'll hear argument now in number 00949, George W. Bush and Richard Cheney v. Albert Gore et al."
"Where's the federal question here?" Justice Anthony Kennedy asked Bush
attorney Theodore Olson less than two minutes into arguments about the Gore-s recounts ordered by the Florida Supreme Court on Friday. In a 5-4 decision on Saturday, the U.S. Supreme Court halted the counting.
Justice David Souter, who voted against the Saturday stay, seemed to ponder the ground rules for a possible resumption of the recount. "Why shouldn't there be one subjective rule for all counties?" he asked.
Some justices who made up Saturday's majority seemed skeptical of a recount, under any standard. Justice Sandra Day O'Connor warned of a "big red flag" in election law that seemingly requires courts to defer to the legislative branch. With Republicans controlling the Florida Legislature and Congress, Bush's legal team has raised the same issue.
Throughout the day, the contested election ricocheted among other courts as well. An appeals court in Atlanta upheld a federal judge's refusal to throw out 2,400 overseas ballots, and Democratic lawyers in Tallahassee asked the Florida Supreme Court to reject thousands of votes for Bush regarding a lawsuit challenging absentee ballot applications.
Justices' swing votes key to case
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The day's first questions came from the two people who may have the last word in the presidential election — Supreme Court swing voters Sandra Day O'Connor and Anthony Kennedy.
The two justices, both appointed by former President Reagan, hold the court's middle ground, the same territory George W. Bush and Al Gore labored to capture in the long, indecisive political campaign.
O'Connor and Kennedy joined the court's three most conservative members to bring the historic case
back before the court, which was a major victory for Republican Bush.
Now that their votes are tantamount to putting Bush in the White House, there is no guarantee that either Kennedy or O'Connor will vote the same way.
vote the same way.
"They are the traditional swing votes," said New York University law professor Stephen Gillers, and although he does not rule out a change of heart from Chief Justice William Rehnquist, "Kennedy and O'Connor are the most likely to cross to Gore's position."
The court split 5-4 Saturday to stop Florida hand counts along a
line that was ideological if not plainly partisan.
All five in the majority were named to the court by Republican presidents, while the four dissenters included two named by Republicans and two by President Clinton.
Without more recounts, Gore cannot erase Bush's tiny lead in Florida. A Supreme Court decision before the end of the day today, the deadline for the state to name its decisive slate of 25 presidential electors, could all but seal the election for Bush.
Tire reports could clear workers
The Associated Press
ARLINGTON, Va. — Ford Motor Co. and Bridgestone/Firestone Inc. are ready to report to government investigators they have reached similar conclusions regarding tire failures blamed for 148 deaths nationwide, according to USA Today.
According to a report in yesterday's USA Today, the conclusions would clear workers producing the Firestone tires and the Ford Explorer vehicle, to which many of the fatalities have been linked. The paper said the companies were expected to report later in the day.
Ford officials said the company still was researching the cause of the tread separations and had not determined a cause.
"we have not reached any conclusions," said Ford representative Ken Zino.
The companies are expected to focus on problems in the tire-manufacturing process involving adhesives and a layer of rubber between the tires' steel belts, sources familiar with
companies' plans told USA Today.
Ford and Bridgestone/Firestone would not say in advance what they would tell the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, USA Today reported. The newspaper said Ford and Bridgestone/Firestone had conducted separate investigations of the tires and had been discussing their findings with each other.
discussing their performance NHTSA figures link 148 deaths to separations, blowouts and other tread problems in Firestone's ATX, ATX II and Wilderness ATires. Many of those tires were standard equipment on the Explorers.
Blaming the tire design and manufacturing processes could take heat off the Explorer, whose design Bridgestone/Firestone has been linking to rollovers when tires failed. It also could counter theories that underqualified replacement workers made faulty tires during a 1995-1996 strike at Firestone's Decatur, III., factory, or that regular workers' poor performance was responsible.
Leak forces reactor shutdown
The Associated Press
SHIPPINGPORT, Pa. — A leak in a coolant system at a nuclear power plant forced the shutdown of one of the plant's reactors and prompted a low-level emergency yesterday.
Authorities said the leak at the Beaver Valley Power Station was contained within the building, and there was no indication of a threat to public health or safety.
Reports from the plant, about 25 miles west of Pittsburgh, indicated there had not been a radioactive release from the building, said David Smith, director of the Pennsylvania Emergency Management Agency.
At one point, radioactive water was spilling onto the floor of the containment building at the rate of 12 to 20 gallons a minute, said Neil Sheehan, federal Nuclear. Legislatory Commission
Management Agency. The emergency was declared at the plant's No. 2 reactor unit at 5:36 a.m. The leak was called an "unusual event," the least serious of four classifications of power-plant emergencies.
"Leakage in general is something that occurs at plants all the time."

spokesman. No workers were exposed. "Leakage in general is something that occurs at plants all the time." Sheehan said.
Workers in protective suits went into the building to check the leak, but were unable to reach the valve and gave up the effort until the reactor cools. Sheehan said.
The leak appeared to be coming from a line used to drain water from the reactor's coolant system. Nuclear Regulatory Commission rules direct plant operators to investigate leaks exceeding one gallon a minute and to shut down reactors when the leak exceeds 10 gallons each minute.

Kansas looks to exorcise demons
Athletes and writers share many hidden characteristics
Larry Smith was irate, somewhat like a lover scorned.
Smith's Missouri football team was struggling, his job was slipping away and the sportswriters wanted to know how it felt. So he gave them what they wanted.
"You may be a sportswriter, but it's like me trying to do your job for you.
... You have no idea, but you still try to write about it. You try to evaluate it. And you try to judge it. And it's strictly opinion. Who cares about your opinion because it's not right. It's not founded. And it's not factual."
Ouch.
Ouch.
But that's how break-ups go. And as it turned out, Smith's tempestuous affair with the Missouri media was just about finished — he was canned several days later.
Another messy end to a messy relationship.
But messy seems to be the norm when locks and hacks hook up.
when you look even the normally genial Roy Williams and Terry Allen sometimes want to shove the tape recorder down some pesky reporter's throat, Ike Turner-style.
We reporters think we need to ask the probing questions. Jocks just want a little respect.
So even though we both need one another — us for content, them for publicity — we almost always end up bickering.
Forgive the gender stereotyping, but we media types are like the sensitive girlfriend, always wanting our boyfriend to share his innermost feelings. And occasionally we woke his ego, just to get an emotional response.
THE CHAMPION OF THE WORLD
The athlete types are like the recalcitrant boyfriend, scared to show his true feelings because dad never hugged him. When pushed to the edge, he lashes out in anger.
It's a shame we just can't seem to get along — we really have a lot in common.
Hacks and jocks both work in collaborative, competitive jobs with plenty of pressure and criticism. Familiar personality types emerge in both the locker room and the newsroom.
Just like any athletic team, newsrooms have their prima donnas — usually sports columnists or raven-haired senior staff reporters who whine and moan when their copy gets changed.
Every player is important in these environments because it all comes down to competition.
We also have our role players — the copy editors and designers who get little credit but are invaluable to putting out the paper. They are the Jeff Careys of the news world.
Jocks work hard, pushing their bodies to the limit. Every minute counts when they're between the lines and the clock is ticking down.
Say, for example, a writer takes a dig at Eric Chenowith. Maybe he implies that despite all of Chenowith's off-season work, the senior center still stinks. Chances are, that writer is going to receive some criticism of his own — perhaps in the form of an e-mail detailing the extent of his ignorance (a la Larry Smith).
Writers strive to get the exclusive story and the most readers. The daily deadline is always on our heels, pushing us on.

When the competition gets the best of either of us, people let us hear about it.
One would think that the sportswriter would have a little more sympathy for Chenowith. After all, he should know how that kind of criticism feels.
'Hawks want turnaround against DePaul

But some people just aren't happy without a little turbulence in their lives.
Bv Michael Riaa
To Kansas, the college basketball season is a 28-round fight. After coasting through the first seven rounds, the Jayhawks finally were knocked down by No. 6 Wake Forest 84-53 on Thursday.
And now, with their backs against the ropes, the Jayhawks know they have to come out swinging when they play DePaul at 8 tonight on ESPN. After the embarrassing loss to the Demon Deacons, Kansas players insist that they don't have much of a choice.
Prater is a Lawrence graduate student in journalism.
"We'll see if we have any toughness," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "We didn't show much toughness out there in the game against Wake Forest. If we do, we'll do some good things, and if we don't, then we won't have any good things happen all year."
The Jayhawks will hit the road for their second straight contest tonight, in a place — Chicago's United Center — that they have
lost three straight games.
"We need to work on things defensively," junior guard Jeff Boschee said.
Demons with 16.7 points per game.
But a defensive message is not the only kind that Kansas will try to send tonight. The Jayhawks will try to tell the country that they can bounce back from a tough loss, and that they were deserving of that No. 2 national ranking they received two weeks ago.
If Kansas wants to send a defensive message, then tonight would be a good night. The Jayhawks are back on ESPN, the same network that televised the Wake Forest game.
"We've got a lot of things to work on," Boschee said. "We just need to concentrate and do the things that we need to do. It's not the end of the world right now. The basketball season isn't over. We still have 20 games to play."

senior Jaclyn Johnson had 12 points in last year's 55-54 loss and said she knew Creighton would come to Lawrence ready to upset the 'Hawks again. Kansas has come out flat several times this season, and the Jayhawks know they can't afford to do that against the Blue Jays.
After a mid-season hiatus against Washburn in Saturday's exhibition game, the Jayhawks have four more games until Big 12 Conference play starts, the first of which is Saturday against a Creighton team that beat Kansas in Omaha, Neb., last season.
Senior forward Brooke Reves echoed Johnson's thoughts and said if the 'Hawks didn't start playing better in the first half, they would have a tough time coming back against high-caliber

Taking care of business might be more difficult than it sounds because of the multitude of injuries plaguing the Javhawks.

Johnson suffered the injury in the season opener against Grambling when she was knocked down hard twice. But you would never know she was hurting from her performance.
"I'm going to play through it." Johnson said. "I'm not going to miss any games because of this."

She has scored more than 20 points four times this season and is second on the team in rebounding.
While Johnson is hampered by one stress fracture, junior guard Selena Scott is hampered by a couple. She has nagging fractures in both legs but continues to play.
"They don't complain." Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "I have to kind of let up in practice, but both of them are pretty tough people. They work real hard."
As if that weren't enough, junior center Nikki White is still having problems with her broken nose. White has to
wear a mask to protect the nose and is having problems adapting to it.
"She's able to do some good things with the ball, but it's really hard for her to adjust to the frame," Washington said. "T'll just be really happy when she finally gets that thing corrected and gets a chance to play without it. Until that gets corrected, she's really going to struggle."

Rodriguez inks with Texas in $252 million contract
The Associated Press
DALLAS — A-Rod has a new nickname: A-Lot.
That's what Alex Rodriguez is getting from the Texas Rangers — a quarter-billion dollars in a deal that doubles the previous-richest contract in sports history.
The Rangers lured the four-time All-Star shortstop from the Seattle Mariners with a $252 million, 10-year contract yesterday.
"Alex is the player we believe will allow this franchise to fulfill its dream of continuing on its path to becoming a World Series champion," Rangers owner Tom Hicks said.
Hicks paid $250 million to buy the entire franchise three years ago from the group headed by George W. Bush and Rusty Rose. Now the Rangers have A-Rod and I-Rod — catcher Ivan Rodriguez, the 1999 American League MVP.
"The Rangers are serious about winning," Texas general manager Doug Melvin said. "I know know expectations will be high. We're ready for that challenge."

The free-agent contract calls for a $10 million signing bonus paid during the next five years and salaries of $21 million in each of the first four years — far more than the $1.58 million Minnesota paid its entire team this season.
The 25-year-old Rodriguez gets $25 million a year in 2005 and 2006, and $27 million in each of the final four seasons, said a baseball source familiar with the deal.
It is exactly double the previous record for a sports contract: a $126 million, six-year agreement in October 1977 between forward Kevin Garnett and the NBA's Minnesota Timberwolves.
Rodriguez: Signed record deal with Texas Rangers
And it was finalized 11 days shy of the 25th anniversary of an arbitra-

Back then, the average baseball salary was about $45,000. This year, it was about $1.8 million, leading some owners to
call for another overhaul of the sport's economic structure — which could lead to another work stoppage after next season.
The previous high for a baseball player was set just Saturday: the $121 million, eight-year contract between left-hander Mike Hampton and the Colorado Rockies.

Until then, baseball's largest deal had been a $116.5 million, nine-year contract agreed to in February by Ken Griffey Jr. and the Cincinnati Reds when Seattle traded the center fielder last February.

North Carolina hires new football coach
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — John Bunting said yesterday he was leaving his position as linebackers coach for the New Orleans Saints to take the job as head coach at North Carolina.

But that hasn't been much help in recent years for the Dodgers, who haven't made the playoffs since being swept by the Braves in the 1996 divisional series.
Dreifort went 12-9 with a 4.16 ERA last season — his first above .500 season in three years as a starter. He is 39-45 with a 4.28' ERA in his six-year career, but many people in baseball believe he has the potential

Pirates, Blue Jays make off-season plays
DALLAS — The Texas Rangers agreed to two-year contracts with former National League MVP Ken Camnii and right-hander Mark Petkovsek.
Mulholland went 9-9 with one save and a 5.11 ERA in 54 appearances for Atlanta last season. After starting the year in the rotation, he pitched exclusively out of the bullpen.
In other news, Alex Gonzalez agreed to a four-year contract worth about $20 million with the Toronto Blue Jays after the team told him it was prepared to go in another direction. Gonzalez set career highs with 15 home runs and 69 RBI last season while batting .252 in 141 games.

Appier agrees to deal with Mets
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — The New York Mets finally got their big name free-agent pitcher yesterday when Kevin Appier agreed to a $42 million, four-year deal to play for the NL champions.
"New York is a very exciting city." Applir said from the winter meetings in Dallas. "You can't get a bigger stage than that. If we do great, that's only better. I'm glad to have the opportunity."
The Baltimore Orioles also wanted Appler, a former Kansas City Royal, and seemed prepared to offer even more than the Mets, but the right-hander chose New York
The Mets zeroid in on Applier after finding out Friday that free agent Mike Hampton had walked away from the team to take a record $121 million, eight-year contract with the Colorado Rockies. New York also lost out on Mike Mussina, who signed with the Yankees, and Denny Neagle, who went to Colorado.
who went to Columbia
"Right from the beginning, we knew Kevin Appier would be right in the mix of pitchers we were trying to pursue," said Mets general manager Steve Phillips. "Obviously we had interest in the Hampton and Mussina fronts, but those ran parallel with discussions with Kevin. We feel fortunate to get a pitcher of his caliber."
The Mets also acquired reliever Donne Wall from San Diego for outfielder Bubba Trammell and signed Tsuyoshi Shinjo, a freegent outfielder in Japan, to a $700,000, one-year contract.
Several other teams, including Boston, had pursued Appier, who turned 33 last Wednesday. The New York Yankees showed early interest before signing Mussina.
Appier was 15-11 with a 4.52 ERA in 195 1-3 innings for AL West-champion Oakland last season. He was traded to the Athletics in the middle of the 1999 pennant race.
The Mets did not try to trade for Appier when he became available in 1999, perhaps because of worries about his health. Once one of the AL's top workhorses, he missed most of the 1998 season because of surgery on his right shoulder.
s got great. Applier has been fine for two seasons, and the Mets' concerns seemed to have diminished. In his 12-year career, Applier is 136-105 with a 3.63 ERA.
Appier receives a $2 million signing bonus, with $1 million paid upon the approval of the contract and $1 million paid July 1, 2002. He will make $8 million this season, $9 million in 2002, $11 million in 2003 and $12 million in 2004.
2003 and $12 million. With Appia, the Mets still have one spot left to fill in their rotation. Bobby J. Jones, who won 11 games for the Mets last season, is a
tree agent and recently was offered salary arbitration.
The Mets have talked to free agent David Cone, cut loose last week by the Yankees. There also has been speculation the Mets might try to trade for a pitcher, perhaps Colorado's Pedro Astacio or Montreal's Dustin Hermanson.
Al Leiter, Rick Reed and Glendon Rusch form the rest of the Mets' rotation. Reed, a free agent, recently re-signed with the Mets for three years and $21.75 million. Asked about the rising price of
Asked about the rising price of pitching, Phillips had an answer.
Shinjo becomes the 12th Japanese player to enter the majors. The only other Japanese position player is outfielder Ishiro Suzuki, the best hitter in Japanese baseball. He signed with Seattle last month.
"I finally found a place where I can play baseball — it's the New York Mets," said the 28-year-old slugger.
Shinjo receives a $300,000 signing bonus and will be paid $200,000 this season. The Mets have options for the 2002 and 2003 with a $200,000 buyout. Shinjo can make an additional $500,000 next season in performance bonuses.
The right-handed batter hit .279 average this season with 139 hits, 28 home runs and 93 RBI.

Blue Demons not prepared for Kansas
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Although DePaul's mascot is the Blue Demon, it is debatable whether the team is more dangerous to itself or its opponents.
The Blue Demons began the season ranked No. 21 but immediately stumbled from the national rankings after losses to unranked Syracuse and Missouri and No. 8 Florida.
DePaul now stands 4-3 as it heads into its game at 8 tonight against No. 10 Kansas, and DePaul coach Pat Kennedy said he wasn't sure if his team would be able to recover its damaged pride.
"It's been a really tough stretch for us," Kennedy said. "We've been playing a really tough schedule and with that and the lack of preparation time we've had, it makes things very difficult for us."
difficult for us. Tonight's game will be more difficult because DePaul will be playing its fourth game in 10 days and its third against a difficult team. Kennedy
said fatigue might make playing hard for the entire game against Kansas difficult.
"At the end of the Missouri game we didn't have much left in the tank," Kennedy said. "For the last five or six minutes we were all out of gas and fell apart."
Junior forward Lance Williams said the Blue Demons would all have to step up their games in order to stop costing them wins.
"Our big men have to start playing harder, our guards, our 'small forwards, everybody,' Williams said. "It's up to us to go to someone and say, 'You ain't playing hard. Step up.' If we do that, I think everything will be OK, but we have to start putting it on the floor."
Kennedy said he was counting on his big men to answer the challenge of Kansas' tallest players. Williams (6-foot-9), sophomore forward Jon Oden (6-8), junior forward Bobby Simmons (6-7) and sophomore center Steve Hunter (7-0) will try to respond to senior center Eric Chenowith and sophomore forwards Nick Collison and Drew Gooden.
"They've got a lot of big players who can sure handle the ball well," Kennedy said, "But we've got a lot of big players, too. And offense has been our strength. We haven't had any trouble putting points on the board."
Playing defense has been another story, though. DePaul has struggled against nationally respected teams, and two of the Blue Demons' four wins came against Division II teams.
cattle against DL-Sevien. "We've really been struggling defensively," Kennedy said. "Defensively, we're just not stopping anybody. We need just to tone up our defense and start making some stops." DePaul basketball notes.
Simmons is DePaul's leading scorer, averaging 16.7 points and 9.4 rebound per game. Freshman guard Imari Sawyer leads the team with 7.7 assists per game.
- The Blue Demons are averaging 83.1 points per game but give up almost 62 to their opponents.
- DePaul turns the ball over 17.1 times per game, compared with Kansas' average of 18.1.

Kansas cyclists to compete in national event

Mud, snow, gravel, obstacles to lump and..bikes?
Jump Racer
Cycle cross, the steeplechase of the biking world, comes to Overland Park this weekend with the National Cyclo-Cross Championships sponsored by the United States Cycling Federation.
Some Kansas cyclists also will participate in the event, which is being held in the Midwest for the first time since 1989.
Cyclo-cross, or 'cross, combines elements of road- and mountainbiking on a short course with obstacles that require skillful dismounts and some running. It was started in Europe as a way for road
racers to stay in shape during the winter. 'Cross bikes are similar to road bikes but with different brakes and knobby tires to accommodate a variety of conditions.
it's like riding your road bike through the mud," said Jed Schneider, an Albuquerque, N.M., graduate student who will compete this weekend. "It combines cross-country running and a mountain-bike race."
Schneider, who placed second in this fall's collegiate national mountain biking championship, said he would compete in the collegiate race on Friday, the elite race on Saturday and the supercup on Sunday. He said there was an 85 percent chance that he would bring home the collegiate national jersey
for the University of Kansas.
Schneider said 'cross was defined by the skill of the riders who approach low obstacles at 25 miles per hour, dismount, bound over the obstacle and get back on without losing much speed.
loving human species. "It's the most spectacular cycling event to watch in that respect," he said. "It's hard physically; it's hard technically. The energy output and toll it takes on your body is probably harder than mountain biking."
In Kansas, there is an active cross season from October until February, and there will be five more local races after the national event, said Mark Thomas, race promoter for the national race. Thomas said that spectators would be able to see the entire two-mile loop from one spot.
There also will be heated facilities and an expo tent with bike products. There is no charge to attend.
Adam Mills, Topeka junior, races cyclo-cross locally and said the sport had gained a lot of popularity during the last three years. Mills said he would attend the championships.
knows another event of national caliber," he said. "And it's a whole lot of fun." The National Cyclo-Cross Championships will take place Friday through Sunday, from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Stoll Park, at 119th St. and Quivail Road in Overland Park.

Lawrence new site for rodeo event finals
By Michael ouainaire sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Lawrence turned into Kansas' biggest cowtown Saturday night when thirty Heartland Bull Riders Association cowboys competed in the circuit's final event for $1,175 and a gold buckle at the Douglas County Fairgrounds Indoor Arena, at 19th and Harper streets.
The Ottawa-based rodeo circuit known as the Heartland Bull Riders Association came to Lawrence after a discussion between the association's president and founder Jim Steadman and Roger Florie of the Douglas County Fair Commission. Steadman said he was pleased with the indoor rodeo facility.
"This is the nicest arena I've ever been in," said Steadman. "From the setup at the entrance to the air control, it is great."
Steadman said the association's seven-state circuit of Arizona, Iowa, Kansas, Kentucky, Missouri, New Mexico, and Oklahoma would expand into the Midwest and South but would hold its final event in Lawrence for at least the next three years.
While the majority of the association's riders have jobs during the week, they realize the commitment necessary for the rodeo circuit.
"Bull Riding is not a hobby," said Quentin Piveral, a bull rider from East Lynne, Mo. "If you did this part-time, you wouldn't be any good at it."
Ironically, the winner of this
weekend's finals event was Ron Shanks of Eudora, a 31-year-old picture-frame manufacturer who had not competed in a rodeo for the past three years.
In fact, Shanks did not plan on entering this weekend's event until one of the other participants withdrew at the last minute. He said he was encouraged by the opportunity to ride in front of the home crowd
"I've never been bucked off a bull in Lawrence," said Shanks, who began competing in rodeos at the age of 10. "I probably have more family in the stands than anyone out there."
The bull riders are awarded points by the judges based on the degree of difficulty and the skill of the rider. In order to gain a significant amount of points, the bull rider must stay on for eight seconds.
While Shanks won the championship event, Adam Gasche and crowd favorite Ronnie Smith tied for the circuit's point championship.
Smith gained support from the crowd during Saturday's event because of a courageous comeback effort. In Friday night's first round, a bull stepped on Smith, knocking him unconscious for nearly five minutes. On Saturday, Smith successfully rode bulls named Devils Advocate and Lionheart. While he did not win the event, Smith said he wasn't disappointed.
"Bull Riding is a lot like poker," said Smith. "You never know which bull you're going to draw."

The Associated Press
Kansas dropped to No. 10 in the Associated Press poll after a devastating 31-point loss to Wake Forest on Thursday night.
Kansas was ranked as high as No. 2 two weeks ago but dropped to No. 3 last week. This week's drop was more significant as the Jayhawks barely hold onto a Top 10 spot.
One thing that didn't change,
however, was the ton spot.
Duke, which won its two games last week by a total of 85 points, was No.1 for the third-straight week, while three teams made their first appearance in the Top

Illinois (7-2), the only team in the top six to lose this season, moved from ninth to fifth after rallying from 21 points down and handing Seton Hall its first loss of the season.
Wake Forest (7-0), which beat the Jayhawks last week, had the poll's biggest jump, going from No. 11 to

The teams that fell out of the poll were Utah, St. John's and Iowa State.
The three newcomers all have 7-9 records.
Iowa, which beat Iowa State on Saturday, was ranked for two weeks early last season after an impressive showing in the Coaches Vs. Cancer Classic.
Mississippi, the only team to beat Oklahoma this season, was in the Top 25 the entire 1997-98 season. getting as high as No. 10.
Georgetown, which beat College of Charleston and Minnesota this season, was last ranked in 1995-96. The Hoyas were in the Top 25 that whole season, getting as high as No. 4.

AND WHO HAVE THE VALUES OF THEIR PARENTS.

What Women Want has a running time of 127 minutes and a PG-13 rating, with adult situations.
OR "LACK" THEREOF.
RIGHT. THE
KIDS' MORALS
SHOULD BE
QUOTE:
COTTONY
SOFT.
There's nothing profound about the film, but it stays with you. After leaving the theater you'll find yourself turning an ear toward strangers and listening hard.
What Women Want works in a kind of circular way. It is an old-fashioned comedy about an old-fashioned man who gets hip by acting like a character out of an old-fashioned comedy.
Gibson shines in latest film
The Associated Press
Cary Grant would have gotten a kick out of What Women Want.
Among those benefiting from his sudden insight are Helen Hunt as a rival executive who got the job Gibson was after. Marisa Tomei as the coffee bar clerk she hunchedly flirts with and Ashley Johnson as his estranged teen-age daughter.
Or at least Mel Gibson's performance in it. Gibbon charms his way through this confident romantic comedy about a chauvinist stricken with the gift to read women's minds. Like Grant, he reveals a comic mind inside a leading man's body — and becomes all the more attractive for it.
With a swinging soundtrack of Frank Sinatra and other Rat Packish music, director Nancy Meyers sets a nice pace for Gibson.
what women Want is a well-timed film of doubletakes and pratfalls, mostly Gibson's. He's especially good when first bombarded on the streets of Chicago by the thoughts inside women's heads, looking as dismayed as if being pelted with popcorn.
Gibson stars as Nick Marshall, a Chicago advertising executive and unreconstructed cad who changes when he can hear what women think (they don't like him).
The plot's not very fresh — Gibson acquires supernatural powers after being electrocuted in his bathroom — but the makers of What Women Want get a lot of humor, and even a few tears, out of the one joke. And when the script comes up short, Gibson's there to carry the story along.

Former Kansas star Paul Pierce leads Celtics to last-second win
The Associated Press
BOSTON — Former Kansas standout Paul Pierce had good reason to be thankful after leading the Celtics to a last-second overtime victory.
Pierce, whose basketball future was uncertain just a few months ago, jumped for joy after hitting
he game-winner as time expired in Boston's 104-102 victory against former teammate Raef LaFrentz's Denver Nuggets on Sunday night.
Before the preseason began, Pierce lay in a Boston hospital bed recovering from multiple stab wounds. He missed the team's first three preseason games, but made a full recovery and thanked the fans near center court before playing in the season opener Nov. 1.
Pierce: Made win-
n shot in over-
time game against
Denver Nuggets
Now, he was raising his arms in triumph after nailing the decisive basket.
"It felt good," Pierce said of his celebration. "The game's over. The buzzer's off. It's a relief. I didn't want to go to another OT. I was pretty tired."
After Denver's Nick Van Exel tied it at 102 with 6.8 seconds left, the Celtics didn't call timeout. They rushed the ball up the court before Milt Palacio eventually passed it to Pierce, who let his shot fly from the top of the key as the buzzer
"He made a quick move from the top and moved to the left," said Denver's James Posey, who was guarding Pierce on the final play. "It was a quick move and a good shot."
sounded.
Pierce didn't, at first, know what Boston was going to do after Van Exel's basket.
"I looked over to the bench to see if we were going to call timeout, and Tony (Battle) inbounded the ball quickly," Pierce said. "I was just trailing the play. When I got the ball, I thought I was going to have to take a 3. I saw three seconds on the clock and dribbled it in before taking the shot."
Kenny Anderson's one-handed runner from the right baseline had given Boston a 102-100 lead with 22 seconds left.
"It was over so fast," said Antonio McDyce, who led the Nuggets with 37 points and 18 rebounds. "Coming up short again ... sometimes I feel when we work this hard it's for no reason."
The Nuggets lost their fourth straight and dropped to 2-9 on the road after Sunday's loss.
Pierce led the Celtics with 28 point, and Antoine Walker had 26 points and 11 rebounds. Anderson finished with 13 points.
"If we keep playing like this, we have to get a break sooner or later," said Denver coach Dan Issel. "Hopefully, a light will go on and we can turn this situation around."
The Celtics had lost three of their last four games at the FleetCenter.
"It's a great win." Walker said. "It's important we got off that skid and start winning games."
DALLAS — In the biggest trade of baseball's winter meetings, Houston and Detroit completed a six-player deal yesterday with Roger Cedeno going to the Tigers and Brad Ausmus heading back to the Astros.
Detroit also acquired catcher
Houston, Detroit close deal
and right-hander Chris Holt. The Tigers sent relievers Doug Brocail and Nelson Cruz to Houston.
The Associated Press
R
Ausmus was traded by the Astros to Detroit
"Going into the offseason our priority was to improve our pitching staff," said Astros general manager Gerry Hunsicker. "We feel we took significant strides to do that with this trade. Brad Ausmus helped us win two divisions in Houston. Reacquiring him adds to our pitching immediately. He is one
in a seven-player deal following the 1998 season. He spent two years in Houston. He is known as one of the top defensive catchers in the game.
Meluskey showed a lot of promise at the plate last season despite some deficiencies in the field.
He hit .300 with 14 homers and
69 RBI in 337 at-bats during his
rookie season. The switch-hitter
also had a .401 on-base percent-
.800
HOUston ASTROS
of the best catchers in baseball."
Mets for a package that included Cedeno last December, were willing to unload the speedy outfielder because they already have Moises Alou, Richard Hidalgo and Lance Berkman.
"At the end of last season, we played Berkman more because he produced more runs," said manager Larry Dierker. "We wanted to keep him more than Cedeno because of the way he fits with our club."
The Tigers were looking for speed to cover the spacious outfield in Comerica Park and a possible replacement if Juan Gonzalez leaves through free agency.
Cedeno hit.282 with 54 runs and 25 stolen bases in 259 at-bats for
Houston. He had a .383 on-base percentage and will likely be used as a leadoff hitter in Detroit.
"We think we added two switch-hitters with high on-base percentages and potential power," said Tigers general manager Randy Smith. "It was worth giving up what we did."
Cedeno has played only one complete season in the majors, hitting .313 with 90 runs and a team-record 66 stolen bases in 1999 for the Mets. He then was traded to Houston, along with Octavo Dotel and Kyle Kessel, for Hampton and Derek Bell.
Holt has been mostly ineffective in his three full seasons for Houston, going 21-42 with a 4.49 ERA
Brocail was 5-4 with a 4.09 ERA in 49 relief appearances for Detroit last season. Cruz went 5-2 with a 3.07 ERA in 27 games.
Both the Tigers and Astros had disappointing seasons as they opened new ballparks in 2000.
Detroit went 79-83, their unprecedented seventh straight losing season.
Houston, which won the NL Central from 1997-99, struggled in hitter-friendly Enron Field and finished 72-90, 23 games behind the first place Cardinals.

Aikman may have to retire
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — Troy Alkman's agent has been through this before, with another certain Hall of Fame quarterback facing serious questions about his future after a series of concussions.
Leigh Steinberg, the agent for Alkman and Steve Young, said yesterday that it was too early to say if Alkman — who went to six straight Pro Bowls and won three Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys in the 1990s — soon will join Young in retirement.
Now, Aikman has suffered four concussions in his past 20 starts. His 12th NFL season is almost definitely finished, and his career may be as well.
The already uncertain future was clouded even more Sunday when Aikman suffered his second concussion of the season, and 10th of his career, after being tackled in the first quarter by Washington linebacker LaVar Arrington.
Steinberg said the concussion was diagnosed as mild, similar to the one Aikman suffered in the season opener three months earlier. Aikman sat out two games after that concussion.
He said it was unlikely that Alkman would play Sunday's final home game against the New
York Giants. His status for the season finale Christmas night at Tennessee also is in question.
"We certainly want to err on the side of caution," Steinberg said. "Obviously, that many concussions give rise to concern."
What's beyond that will be discussed soon after the season.
Steinberg said his role in the discussions "is to attempt to safeguard his long-term health and gather all of the relevant facts."
Alkman didn't talk to reporters after the game Sunday or at the Valley Ranch practice yesterday. He has given no indication that he is ready to retire. Cowboys officials said he was undergoing further medical examinations.
Coach Dave Campo listed the quarterback's status as day-today and said he had given no thought that Sunday might have been Alkman's last game in a Dallas uniform.
"Troy has never indicated anything to me other than he wants to play football," Campo said. "His health is the most important thing. If he's ready to play, Troy wants to play. That is his mentality."
Hal Unwin, an associate professor of neurology at the University of Texas Southwest Medical Center in Dallas, said some studies had shown that concussions could have a cumulative impact, but individual effects varied.
Unwin said Aikman had likely had an MRI or CAT scan to check for permanent damage, but regardless of the outcome, a neurologist would likely leave the decision up to the 34-year-old quarterback.
"If he were my patient, I would ask him to stick to the guidelines, but whether he should continue playing, the final decision is his." Unwin said.
Even if Aikman wants to come back, Dallas owner Jerry Jones faces a March 8 deadline on whether to pay Aikman a $7 million bonus.
Alkman, the first player Jones ever drafted, can be released before the deadline without being given any money.
Regardless of what happens, he will count at least $10 million against Dallas' salary cap next season.
The 32-13 victory against Washington on Sunday was the sixth game that Alkman missed at least part of this season.
He suffered a concussion in the first half of the opener against Philadelphia and sat out two games, then reaggravated a back injury. Oct. 29 against Jacksonville and missed another game.

ST. LOUIS — Kurt Warner is picking up the tab if St. Louis gets fined, as expected, for doing the "Bob 'N Weave" touchdown celebration dance during their victory against Minnesota.
Rams face fine for touchdown dance
"I don't care if it was $50,000 or if it was $250,000," Warner said after the Rams ended a three-game losing streak with a 40-29 victory Sunday. "It was well worth it."
"If this team gets back on track, and these guys play like they're capable of playing — that's exactly what I wanted to do. I wanted to spark this team into playing with emotion and having fun again."
Rams coach Mike Martz tried to be politically correct about the situation.
Martz, who said he missed the first celebration because he was looking at game charts, had mixed feelings about the situation.
"That's Kurt's business; I don't have any feeling about it," Martz said yesterday. "It's a nice gesture on his part."
"I want it because of the enthusiasm and energy that it brings back to this team and how we were, and I know how it was meant," Martz said. "That was the sole purpose, to get some of that feeling back that we had
going earlier in the year.
"So, I like that about it. (But) the league doesn't want it, so obviously we don't want it."
Anheuser-Busch Cos, also offered to pay the fines after August Busch IV ran into wide receiver Ricky Proehl at a restaurant on Saturday. The Rams were unclear about the status of that offer.
"I don't know." Martz said. "He hasn't called me."
Fines would be announced later in the week.
The Rams used the "Bob 'N Weave," a group dance invented by then-rookie wide receiver Torry Holt, often during their Super Bowl season. It was banned before this season by the NFL's competition committee, co-chaired by Vikings coach Dennis Green.
The Rams tried inventing a new
dance for this season, the "Duck Down," in which players squatted wherever they were on the field after a touchdown. That, too, was banned.
Five players forgot about the ban and did the "Bob 'N Weave" after a touchdown at San Francisco in Game 3, and all were fined $5,000.
But a few days before the Vikings game, Martz said he wouldn't mind some "bobbing and weaving." Seven Rams did the "Bob 'N Weave" after the first touchdown, and six more participated after the second, both of them 1-yard runs by Marshall Faulk.
"That's basically our team saying. 'Whatever the NFL's got to do, it's got to do,'" said cornerback Todd Llyght.
Wide receiver Isaac Bruce called off the dance after the Rams' third touchdown.
Players are planning to keep it up the last two games. They're at Tampa Bay next Monday and finish the regular season at New Orleans on Christmas Eve.
"I think we're going to keep doing it," Holt said. "If we win these last couple games, we'll go into the playoffs and make some of that money back."

Aikman may have to retire
The Associated Press
IRVING, Texas — Troy Alkman's agent has been through this before, with another certain Hall of Fame quarterback facing serious questions about his future after a series of concussions.
Leigh Steinberg, the agent for Aikman and Steve Young, said yesterday that it was too early to say if Aikman — who went to six straight Pro Bowls and won three Super Bowls with the Dallas Cowboys in the 1990s — soon will join Young in retirement.
Now, Alkman has suffered four concussions in his past 20 starts. His 12th NFL season is almost definitely finished, and his career may be as well.
The already uncertain future was clouded even more Sunday when Akman suffered his second concussion of the season, and 10th of his career, after being tackled in the first quarter by Washington linebacker LaVar Arrington.
Steinberg said the concussion was diagnosed as mild, similar to the one Aikman suffered in the season opener three months earlier. Aikman sat out two games after that concussion.
He said it was unlikely that Aikman would play Sunday's final home game against the New
York Giants. His status for the season finale Christmas night at Tennessee also is in question.
"We certainly want to err on the side of caution," Steinberg said. "Obviously, that many conclusions give rise to concern."
What's beyond that will be discussed soon after the season.
Steinberg said his role in the discussions "is to attempt to safeguard his long-term health and gather all of the relevant facts."
Aikman didn't talk to reporters after the game Sunday or at the Valley Ranch practice yesterday. He has given no indication that he is ready to retire. Cowboys officials said he was undergoing further medical examinations.
Coach Dave Campo listed the quarterback's status as day-today and said he had given no thought that Sunday might have been Alkman's last game in a Dallas uniform.
"Troy has never indicated anything to me other than he wants to play football," Campo said. "His health is the most important thing. If he's ready to play, Troy wants to play. That is his mentality."
