Giving false election info could become an illegal act
By Brooka Hesler writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
An incident involving election-eve phone calls that misled voters has prompted the Kansas Legislature to consider legislation that would criminalize similar actions.
Peter Hunter, a second-year law student who ran for the Kansas House of Representatives in November, admitted responsibility for a string of calls in which Democratic voters were told they needed their voter registration card when they went to vote.
Kansas does not require voters to produce their cards when voting. Hunter said he regretted that the calls were made.
"It was a very poor decision," he said. "At the time only God and I knew why I made it. And now I think only God knows."
A bill is expected to reach the Kansas Senate floor for consideration later this month that would outlaw the dissemination of false information intended to prevent anyone from voting, said Sandy Praeger, R-Lawrence, one of three co-sponsors of the bill.
An investigation by the FBI determined that Hunter was at the bottom of the calls, and Hunter said he took responsibility for the incident.
"I was happy with 99 percent of the campaign we ran," he said. "I've shown bad judgment in this instance, though."
On Tuesday, Justin Holstin,
Lawrence third-year law student, told
a legislative panel that Hunter disgraced
the University of Kansas
School of Law.
Bethany Roberts, Lawrence first-year law student, said she saw his point.
Jason Roth, Mission third-year law student, said what Hunter added to the stigma lawyers had of being dishonest.
"I think it reflects badly on the law school for people who don't know any better or who don't know the law school well." she said.
"Here at the law school, we're taught that everything we do should be done in an ethical manner," Roth said. "If he did it and didn't violate any laws, that's one thing. But as for personal ethics, it's dishonest at the very least. It lends itself to the dishonest lawyer stereotype."
While the law school has no official position on the incident, Webb Hecker, associate dean for academic affairs of the law school, said he didn't think the incident reflected on the law school one way or another.
"From my point of view, he just happens to be a student here," Hecker said. "When people are filing an application for admittance, we can't judge what kind of person they are or what they're capable of by looking at some papers."
There is nothing specific in election statutes that states it's illegal to disseminate false information, but some members of the Kansas Legislature are trying to change that.
Praeger said the bill she was sponsoring would make what Hunter did a Class A misdemeanor, subject to a $2,500 fine and up one year in jail.
"I will continue to advocate for the causes I believe in," he said.
"The language right now isn't specific enough." she said.
A similar bill, introduced by the Kansas secretary of state's office, would punish offenders in the form of a low-level felony, which means offenders wouldn't be able to vote. Prager said she would be in favor of the harasser punishment.
"Some people feel that if one tries to detour others from voting, they should forsit the right to vote themselves," she said. "Voting rights are sacred in this country. We've worked hard over the years to ensure everyone has a right to vote, and any attempts to mislead voters should be punishable."
Hunter said the ordeal would not dissuade him from running for public office again.
Praeger said Hunter's actions also reflected poorly on politicians.
Court rules confession OK
Judge says officers didn't take advantage of student's illness

After listening to eight hours of testimony, District Court Judge Paula Martin ruled that Kevin Hoskinson, a student accused of kissing and fondling a sleeping female Hashinger Hall resident, voluntarily wrote his confession.
Hoskinson, Garden City junior, testified yesterday morning in the hearing to determine whether police coerced the confession he wrote in September. He is charged with sexual battery for the August incident
that police say occurred in Hashinger's sixth floor lobby. It was the third day of testimony since the hearing began Jan. 19.
Martin waited two hours to deliver her decision yesterday.
"The court finds that Officer Riner did not, in fact, dictate or tell to Mr. Hoskinson what he was to include in his statement," she said.
Martin said that, according to case law, the confession could not be considered coerced unless officers had taken advantage of Hoskinson's mental condition.
Although Hoskinson mentioned to an officer during a polygraph exam on Sept. 7 that he had schizophrenia, he downplayed his mental condition and indicated to the officer that it wasn't a big deal. Martin said
Much of Hoskinson's testimony yesterday was about his perceptions of how the police treated him in their interviews. He testified about what he thought about his conversations with police.
is like he's the Nazi and I'm the Jew," Hoskinson testified. "It's like he's the slave driver and I'm the slave. I felt like he was slitting my throat in a mental way. Is he trying to get me angry? Is he possibly trying to take away my faith in God, my patience?"
Hoskinson said he was frightened and thought the police were trying to control his mind. He said he did not understand the Miranda rights that Det. Mike Riner had read to him and that he had read back to Riner.
Hoskinson testified that he felt as if he had no choice whether to write a confession "because I felt like I was ordered to, because I felt like I if didn't I would be disrespectful to authority."
Hoskinson did not, however, tell the police that he did not understand his rights or that he did not want to talk, he testified.
Martin said she considered this in her ruling. She mentioned that Hoskinson told Riner he thought he'd been treated fairly
When Defense Attorney Sally Howard asked what Hoskinson thought when Riner told him he would "never make it as a professional liar." Hoskinson said he thought Riner understood him better than Hoskinson understood himself. Hoskinson said he wasn't sure why he thought that.
Assistant District Attorney Dave Zabel maintained that the officers had treated Hoskinson with more care than they normally treated people. The officers testified they had done so.
After her ruling, Martin said she did not want to downplay Hockinson's mental condition in any way. She referenced at least three cases in her decision

It's not every day students ask Chancellor Robert Hemenway questions like "Where's the best place to buy Pop Rocks?"
But as a promotional push for KU Info, Hemenway, with the help of the information line's staff, answered that question and 34 others yesterday afternoon.
The chancellor took phone calls for an hour, and afterward said he had a lot of respect for KU Info staff members, who receive about 700 calls a day.
Lisa Braun, Deerfield senior, aids Chancellor Robert Hemenway as he looks up the number for a tattoo caller at the KU info office. Hemenway answered 35 calls yesterday afternoon, Photo by Melissa Carr/KANSAN
KU Info had all three lines open while the chancellor was in the office, and Hemenway had the entire staff at his disposal, waiting to help him tackle each question.
Many people knew the chancellor was promoting KU Info and called in with personal questions. Anytime a caller asked a general question, the staff would scramble through phone books and almanacs or check the Internet to find the answer.
Hemenway's first caller asked when the Masonic Temple first opened in downtown Lawrence. Four minutes later, after the staff called the museum, Hemenway had the answer - 1910.
Other callers had specific questions for the chancellor.
A student on a cell phone called on behalf of his class to ask Hemenway what his favorite activity was as a child. Hemenway said it was baseball.
Another caller, who bragged about stumping the KU Info staff in the past, wanted to know what the longest winning streak in the history of professional baseball was. That question took some digging.
"I hate sports questions," said Cori Gilbert, Overland Park graduate student and staff member, who frantically searched the Internet.
The caller hung up before Hemenway could give him the answer, 18 games by the 1908 Chicago Cubs.
"I hate it when that happens," said Breeze Luetke-Stahlman, Olathe senior and staff member.
KU Info staff members aren't allowed to tell callers they don't know an answer to
a question, but anytime they get stumped, they write the question and the caller's e-mail address on a clipboard. When they finally find the answer, they send it to the caller.
One question they're still working on is who was the first presidential candidate to campaign in Kansas.
In 2000, KU Info answered 161,000 phone calls, an increase from the past few years. "We're going full blast right now," said Susan Elkins, KU Info program director. "I'm pretty amazed myself."
The amount of calls KU Info receives is directly linked with the amount of activity occurring on campus, Elkins said. She credits two reasons for the increase in business this past year: more events and
improved staffing.
Before Chancellor Hemenway stopped answering questions yesterday, he received a call from an architecture major who wanted to organize a forum to address issues that concerned students in his field of study. Hemenway told the student he would take steps to make that forum a reality.
Kelly Speight, Lawrence senior, said it sounded a bit strange that the chancellor was answering students' questions at KU Info, but she liked the idea.
"I think it's good the chancellor gets on the same level with the students," she said.
So where is the best place to get a Pop Rocks fix?
ON THE PHONES
Chancellor Robert Hemenway answered questions from students on KU Info help lines yesterday afternoon. Some students tried to stump the chancellor and the KU Info stuff, while others asked him personal questions. The questions included:
What was your favorite activity as a kid?
"when did you see the Masonic Temple first"
"winter time"
- "What was the longest winning streak in pro baseball?"
- Hemenway recommended Penny Annie's Sweet Shoppe on Massachusetts Street.

Students say cards not as smart as promised

Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas' smart card has passed some tests and failed others since being introduced in spring 1988.
"Sometimes it doesn't go through at Mrs. E's," said John Giampaoli, Overland Park senior. "I may need to change it next year."
Some students say the card's main failure has been its lack of durability. Complaints include cards that fall apart and electronic chips that quit functioning.
Students can replace broken
or worn cards for a $15 fee. Nancy Miles, KU card administrator, said the charge reflected the cost of the card, plus administrative, staff and equipment costs.
She said cards that were defective with no signs of abuse would be replaced for no charge.
Other obstacles have limited uses of the card. University officials announced several plans for the newly released card.
Many of these uses have become second nature for students, but others have failed to be incorporated into students' lives.
While the smart card can be used as a Commerce Bank debit
card, at the libraries and in vending machines, students can't use it as a long-distance phone card or as a bus pass, uses that were originally planned.
"It was a pretty big flasco," she said. "They were completely, totally inefficient."
Holly Krebs, campus transportation coordinator, said that KU on Wheels used the smart card for three weeks in fall 1998, but the results weren't satisfactory.
Krebs said students would have to wait longer to board the buses if the smart card was used as a bus pass. She said this could lead to buses being consistently late.
"The current system is much faster." Krebs said.
Students needed two cards before, one for checking out books and another for photocopies, she said.
But the card has worked well for the KU libraries, said Mary Rosebloom, external relations librarian.
"It has brought more security for students because the cards have the students' pictures," she said.
Miles said the smart card was no longer being used as a long-distance calling card because students didn't use it as much as the University had expected.

Study says Wescoe air doesn't pose a threat
Sally Frost Mason, dean of liberal arts and sciences, met yesterday with faculty and staff who work in Wescoe Hall to release the results of a study regarding the building's indoor air quality.
The study was conducted by the University's Environment, Health and Safety Department in response to concern from some staff and faculty members the building's air quality was poor.
The study indicated the air quality in Wescoe didn't pose any health concerns to those who work in the building.
Mike Russell, environment, health and safety department director, said the air quality was better inside Wescos than outside.
"What we have here is what you would see in buildings across the United States," he said.
Frost Mason said although the results did not indicate anything unusual, the University would take measures like installing new carpeting to improve Wescoe's air quality.
James Modig, design and construction management director, said the University would also improve Wescoe's ventilation system by installing relief fans to pump more fresh air into the building.

Endowment striving to reach donation level
The Andrew W. Mellon Foundation has issued a challenge grant that would help build an endowment fund of $850,000 for the Spencer Museum of Art.
The Melton Foundation, based in New York City, will grant $475,000 to the Kansas University Endowment Association if KU Endowment raises $375,000 in private gifts during the next three years, museum director Andrea K. Norris said.
Norris said the endowment income would allow the graduate internship program to continue strengthening the academic role of the Spencer Museum within the University.
The grant is in addition to two previous foundation grants allowing University faculty members to incorporate the Spencer collections into their course work.
Interns sponsored by these grants have helped faculty members consider art in engineering, anthropology, pharmacy and French studies.
Interns also have provided research about Spencer collections and conducted tours for KU students, faculty and the public.
The Mellon Foundation, a nonprofit
corporation that provides grants for education, performing arts and the environment, has also contributed to the Hall Center for the Humanities at KU.

Court convicts Libyan in Flight 103 bombing
CAMP ZEIST, Netherlands — The wait to end a 12-year murder trial has finally come to an end.
A Scottish court convicted Libyan intelligence officer Abdel Basset Ali al-Megrahi of murder yesterday in the 1988 bombing of Pan Am Flight 103 above Lockerbie, Scotland, that killed 270 people.
The verdict of the Scottish tribunal was the climax in the 12-year murder investigation and an $80 million trial.
A second Libyan was acquitted. Both decisions were unanimous.
Limp Bizkit fan dies after concert crush
SYDNEY. Australia — A teen-age girl who suffered a heart attack while caught in a crush during a performance by U.S. rap-rock group Limp Bizkit died yesterday, five days after the concert, a hospital spokesman said.
Six other people were hospitalized in the crush at a touring multi-band event called the Big Day Out, which drew a crowd of 55,000.
Limp Bizkit pulled out of its Australian tour after the crush last Friday and criticized concert organizers for providing inadequate security and safety measures, a claim organizers denied.
Bitter night of cold kills 110 Afghan refugees
ISLAMABAD, Pakistan — At least 110 people died in just one night because of freezing conditions in refugee camps in western Afghanistan, the United Nations said yesterday.
The victims of Monday night's cold snap were mostly children and the elderly, said Erick de Mui, the U.N. humanitarian coordinator. They only had plastic sheets to keep them warm as temperatures plunged to minus 13 Fahrenheit.
The refugees in the Herat region began arriving last July, driven from their homes by the worst drought in 30 years.

Student Senate approves fee
Campus will be a little brighter in the next few years with Student Senate's approval of a new campus safety fee.

Kansan staff writer
By Brooke Hesler
Nooshin Soltani, campus safety advisory board chairwoman and co-sponsor of the bill to continue the fee, said the campus safety fee was necessary.
"We want to take proactive measures, not reactive measures," Soltani said.
The fee requires full-time students to continue paying $2 per semester until 2004, when the fee will end. Money collected from the fee will go toward the completion of approximately $132,000 worth of proposed lighting projects during the next two years.
Although the University will match the fee, it will only pay for physical improvements on campus. Aravid Muthukrishnan, liberal arts and sciences senator and Manhattan senior, is up at the
SAFETY FEE CONTINUES
What happened: Student Senate approved a campus safety fee to replace a lighting fee set to expire at the end of the year.
- What it means: Students will continue paying $2 per semester for campus lighting projects, but the money can also be used for other general safety issues.
What's next: Student Body President Ben Walker must still approve the bill, which would initiate the new fee this fall.
University's decision. Muthukrishnan, who voted against the fee, said he was worried it would set a dangerous precedent.
"This fee is symbolic in saying the students will subsidize things the University should pay for," Muthukrishnan said. "Safety is something the University should pay for, not the students."

City awaiting new parking garage
By Erin Adamson
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
As part of the Downtown 2000 improvement plan, the entire 900 block of New Hampshire Street is scheduled for a renovation that includes a new 500-space parking garage.
New design guidelines the city has adopted will also encourage property owners to not have parking lots facing Massachusetts Street.
Mike Wilden, city manager, said the construction of the parking garage was on schedule and should be completed at the beginning of September.
When the four-story garage opens, downtown will gain 400 new parking spaces.
Dave Corliss, assistant city manager, said the parking garage would include 400 new parking spaces in addition to the 100 parking spaces in the previous parking lot.
Justin Montag, Olathe senior,
said he usually drove downtown
and had a hard time finding parking there.
"It's impossible to find a spot," he said. "Especially when students come back."
He said although the 900 block of New Hampshire Street was currently closed, the new parking garage would be helpful to the parking situation.
"The construction hasn't really been a problem," Montag said.
Corsliss said the new garage was oriented to pedestrian use and on a scale that would not be overwhelming from the street.
"In our new garage we're building, we'll have offices on the ground floor," Corliss said. "It softens the structure."
Corliss said the majority of spaces in the new parking garage would be open to the public but some would be reserved for bank customers, whose lot had been torn up by the construction, and for other downtown employees.
The street level of the garage would have free, two-hour parking and the upper levels would have long-term paid parking, Corliss said.
Handicapped parking would also be available in the garage.
Anne-Wesley Roberts Washington, D.C., senior, said the city needed to include more handicapped parking.

The new construction on New Hampshire Street is part of the city's Downtown 2000 project aimed at revitalizing the city center.
Wildgen said on the west side of New Hampshire Street, the four-story parking garage was being constructed in the middle of the block. A privately owned, three-story corner building to house either commercial spaces or a hotel would be north of the garage.
A four-story building containing retail shops on the ground level and 24 loft apartments will be to the south of the garage, across the alley from Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St.
On the east side of New Hampshire Street the new
Lawrence Arts Center will take up the majority of the block.
Wildgen said the city didn't own the lot at 11th and Massachusetts Streets, but based on the new design guidelines it would be appropriate to get rid of the parking lot.
"We would encourage development for any lot facing Massachusetts Street," Wildgen said. "The goal ultimately would be to not have parking on Massachusetts Street."
The city does not have plans for any additional parking garages downtown, but Wildgen said if a garage was built in the future an appropriate place might be on the 700 block of Vermont Street.

Students seek cures for hangovers
By Livi Regenbaum
writer@kansan.com
Wicker staff writer
Taylor Duncan has a plan for preventing hangovers.
"Drinking Gatorade quenches my thirst and helps me feel better the day of a hangover," said Duncan, Winfield sophomore.
Hangover remedies are in constant debate. Some people claim anything helps, while others offer remedies they claim work miracles.
The latest remedy, according to The National Headache Foundation, is honey with crackers before or after heavy drinking.
Bill Smith, health educator at Watkins Health Center, said the only thing that could really relieve hangover symptoms was time.
"No folk remedy can cure a hangover," he said.
Laurell Matthews, Fayetteville, Ark., senior, said she usually drank a lot of water — at least one glass for every beer — before going out.
"This helps me to avoid the major
side effects of a hormone," he added.
"This neps me to avoid the major side effects of a hangover," she said. Randall Rock, physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said he was not aware of any way to prevent the effects of a hangover. He also said it was not uncommon to see students come into Watkins feeling the negative effects of drinking too much.
Rock said eating could slow the flow of alcohol into the bloodstream, which could help prevent a hangover.
HANGIN' HARD
Students have different methods to recover from hangovers. Some are:
- Drink plenty of fluids
- Rest
- Water
- Aspirin
- Honey and crackers
"When one has a hangover, it is important to drink fluids and get plenty of rest," he said.

Perspective
Despite flaws Clinton evokes fond memories
Less than two weeks ago, America lost probably the most entertaining president in modern history.
Like many other Americans, I'm going to miss having good o!' Bill Clinton in the White House. This is not because I agree with his views or even because I'll miss watching a new scandal unfold every couple of weeks.
I'll miss Bill Clinton because, like it or not, after eight years, he connected with the American people like no other politician.
We are a society of cable news, pick-up trucks and 30-second sound bytes. He is a living and breathing symbol of this. While presiding at state dinners or bantering with
reporters, Bill Clinton, to me, seemed to look and talk exactly how an American president should.
I don't know whether George W. Bush will ever be able to fill the role in quite the same way.
Maybe this is why:
When I see clips of Bill Clinton meditating during his final days in office, I actually feel sorry for the man. He looks so solemn, so
PETER M. CURTIS
Matt Overstreet columnist opinion@kansan.com
much like a man who has almost been crushed by unbearable pressures, that I almost forget his personal flaws. The comparison with a tragic Shakespearean hero seems to fit Clinton well.
When elected, he seemed full of noble ambition and desire to change the system, or at least desire to control the system. Now, eight years later, what great policies has he enacted? Clinton pushed through the Brady Bill and supported NAFTA, but are these great pieces of legislation? Sure, the national debt is being paid off, but the only person who can take credit for that is Al Gore. (After all, he invented the Internet, which fueled an economic gold rush and led to more tax revenue.)
For eight years, Bill Clinton has stumbled through scandal after scandal, all the while coasting along on a booming economy that he had little to do with. At the end of his term, as he frantically searched for a legacy, our president was left asking himself where it all went wrong.
With peace and prosperity, he should have been able to do more, and he knows it. The best of intentions led only to new definitions of the word "is" and a bevy of cigar jokes.
Tragic heroes always have one fatal flaw. If Macbeth's was ambition and Hamlet's indecision, what's Clinton? Some might say it is his presidential-sized libido, but I think that is too basic an explanation. Clinton's inability to keep his pants zipped is only a symptom of a larger problem: his complete disregard for the needs of anyone but himself. Bill Clinton does what is best for Bill Clinton, not what is best for his family, his office or his nation.
Don't be fooled; he wanted to be president for himself first and the American people second. This is why he is able to cheat on his wife with a 21-year-old intern, lie about it under oath and then look you right in the eye was his finger and then tell you it never happened.
What is even more amazing, though, is that even after caught, he refused to admit that he did anything wrong. People who show blatant disregard for everyone but themselves are called sociopaths. I'm not a psychologist, but to me Clinton seems to exhibit sociopathic behavior.
Despite this, when I see how the pressures of his job have turned his hair snow white and crested his face, I do feel sorry for William Jefferson Clinton. What is even stranger, though, is after all his deception, the american people would most likely reelect him. One reason for this is that under Clinton, times have been good for most Americans.
But I believe the American people's acceptance of Clinton's character flaws goes deeper then that. Clinton exudes intelligence, confidence and charisma — just what we expect from our leader. He looks and talks the part, even if he doesn't always act it.
That is why, for better or worse, Bill Clinton was, and in some respects still is, our president.

Tendency to disrupt mars cell phones' convenience

But as soon as you can say 'wireless,' a woman provides her own music — courtesy of a cellular phone — in the seat behind me, just behind my right ear.

TOM PENNICK
Ben Tatar columnist
opinion@kansan.com
Phones are popping up and disrupting concerts, classes, library silence, bus rides — you name the place, and it's happened there.
I always wondered what could be so important that someone must take a call on a crowded bus and hold others hostage to that person's conversation.
"Shoot ... can you all hang on a sec? Hi, baby, what's happening?"
"Mark will surely be missed. He died doing what he loved, and all of his fellow firefighters here can agree that he ...
Consider how outrageous it would be at a funeral.
Cellular phones are becoming a virus. For many, seeing one evokes the urge to get one. Others avoid them.
I cringe at the stupidity of keeping a cellular phone on during a class. Doesn't anybody have any idea how rude it is to have a lecture, regardless of how boring it is, interrupted by a high-pitched "Take Me Out to the Ball Game"?
I'm not totally bitter about cell phones and their users. I appreciate it when those who receive a call move to an isolated area.
I can also understand the convenience of not having to search for a phone in a building when it is simply hooked onto one's pants pocket. Convenience is a way of life in a technological world, and it's hard to argue against it.
Everybody has their reason for having a cell phone, whether it's work-related or for emergencies. Yeah, right. It's obvious that cell phones are status symbols.
Driving and using the phone is a terrible combination, and I support the efforts of states such as Maine and Maryland to outlaw this combination. As long as accidents are caused by talkative drivers, cell phones should be outlawed on the road.
But most importantly, I disapprove of people using phones while driving. It occupies a hand needed for driving and usually takes the entire brain with it.
The phone doesn't belong in that setting, and statistics have proven that a driver is more likely to be in an accident if he or she is on a cellular phone at the time.
But as long as they are around, have the consideration to use them in the appropriate places. Keep them off during concerts, classes, and in other areas where it can be a considerate public disruption.
It's a cellular phone user's world now, and common courtesy for others is on our endangered species list.

Editorial
Meetings give students rare chance
Starting today, students can help decide who will lead the Lied Center.
The University of Kansas is interviewing candidates for the new executive director of the Lied Center. Students will get a chance to meet and ask questions of each of the three finalists. This is an opportunity that students must not overlook.
Students constitute about 70 percent of most audiences at Lied Center performances. The shows that come to the center are brought there by the executive director, who in the end is the lone voice of a large and diverse student body. Students need to make sure the new director will consider their desires.
The three candidates for the position are Evy Warshawski, whose meeting is today; Timothy van Leer, whose meeting is Tuesday, Feb. 13; and Ellis Finger, whose meeting is Thursday, March 1. All are at 123 Murphy Hall from 2:30 to 3:20 p.m.
The center is a great asset to the University. In 1999, International Arts magazine ranked the Lied Center among the top 10 performing arts venues in the nation. This year, it has already been host to shows ranging from the musical Showboat to the Trinity Irish Dance Company
Of course, some students may be indifferent to the shows at the Lied Center because the performances don't cater to their cultural tastes. These open meetings are a chance for these students to make their opinions heard. They could, for example, suggest that there be more Broadway musicals than ballets or perhaps that the Lied Center bring in a new performance that the University has never seen the likes of before
Unless students voice their opinions now, they may be disappointed in the programming later.
The open forum of these meetings is a rare opportunity and a great way to find out whether students' interests in the performing arts will be met.

On Tuesday night, the Lawrence Lions (11-4) got to see Simien flex his muscle. Simien scored 19 points and grabbed 10 rebounds, helping Leavenworth, ranked No. 1 in The Kansas City Star's big-class poll, defeat Lawrence 57-50 and improve its record to 11-2.
After opening the game with a beautiful 14-foot jumper, Simien tore down rebounds, swished all five free-throw attempts and threw down two powerful dunks that left the goal shaking. He then scored the go-ahead basket in the final minute and blocked two shots that snuffed Lawrence's final kick.
Big numbers, yes, but Leavenworth coach Larry
Hogan said it wasn't one of Simien's better performances.
"He's had better games," Hogan said. "I thought he was kind of sloppy with the ball, to be quite honest, but that's not typical of him. He's been averaging about 20 (points per game). He had a game around 30 points when people tried to play us man-to-man. If you give it to him down there he's going to dunk on you."
Scoring 20 points might not seem like a gigantic feat for the second-ranked signee in the Big 12 Conference (behind Kansas signee Aaron Miles, according to ESPN), but Simien has posted his numbers against triple-team defenses.
He's not the only offensive threat for the Pioneers, though.
"I think I'll be able to come in next fall and be able to fit in real well with things."

In fact, Simien and fellow Leavenworth seniors Joey Payton, Nicholas Sanders and Albo were recognized before the game as McDonald's All-American nominee. All will play Division I basketball next year.
Simlen is clearly used to playing with talented teammates, which he said made attending Kansas an easier choice. He also said he was more prepared to
become a Jayhawk because of his high school experience.
“Coach Hogan has modeled his coaching style after coach Williams because he's been so successful over the years,” Simien said. “A lot of the things they do at KU we'll try to mimic here. So I think I'll be able to come in next fall and be able to fit in real well with things.”
A giant who stands out among other high school players, Simien will blend in to the Kansas rotation with players such as 6-foot-10 sophomore forward Drew Gooden and 6-9 sophomore forward Nick Collison.
But that's fine with Simien. He'll be living a dream come true.

Chiefs add another to administration
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Kansas City Chiefs named Mike White director of football administration yesterday.
White was an assistant head coach with the St. Louis Rams from 1997 to 1999 for Dick Vermei, the Chiefs' new head coach. White also worked with Vermeil at UCLA and at Stanford.
Before joining the Rams, White spent seven years as a coach with the Oakland Raiders from 1990 to 1996. He was head coach of the Raiders during his last two seasons and compiled a 15-17 record.
White's NFL coaching career began in San Francisco in 1978 as an offensive line coach.
K
White started his coaching career as a graduate assistant at California in 1958 and worked his way up to wide receiver coach before going to Stanford in 1964. There, he served as offensive coordinator from 1964 to 1971, then returned to California, where he coached from 1972 to 1977. From 1980 to 1987, White was head coach at Illinois.
Schottenheimer hires younger brother Kurt
WASHINGTON — Marty
WASHINGTON — Marty Schottenheimer hired young broth
er Kurt Schottenheimer as defensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins yesterday.
Kurt, once rumored to be the next defensive coordinator at Kansas, got the job in Washington instead of former Buffalo Bills coach Wade Phillip
This will be the third time the brothers have worked together. Kurt, who is six years younger.
has on Marty's staffs with the Cleveland Brown in the 1980s and the Kansas City Chiefs in the 1990s. He coached special teams and defensive backs with the Chiefs, then was promoted to defensive coordinator after Marty Schottenheimer left at the end of the 1998 season.
He succeeds Ray Rhodes, who left for the Denver Broncos. Rhodes, loyal to former coach Norv Turner, said he didn't want to stay with the Redskins after Marty Schottenheimer was hired
There are now three Schottenheimers on the Redskins staff. Marty's son, Brian, is the quarterbacks' coach.
NHL
Montreal Canadiens sold for $183 million
MONTREAL — The Montreal Canadiens, a national treasure of Canadian sports, are now American property.
Molson Inc., the team owner, sold 80 percent of the NHL club and all
of the Molson Centre yesterday to Colorado businessman George Gillett for $183 million.
The brewery will keep the remaining 20 percent of the storied team, which will stay in Montreal.
The team cannot leave Montreal," said Daniel O'Neill, Molson president and chief executive officer. "There's no question about that."
Gillett, a Colorado entrepreneur who once owned the Harlem Globetrotters and a share of the Miami Dolphins, tried to buy the Colorado Avalanche last year.
However, he said no offers came from any Canadian company or individual.
"I regard the team as one of the world's genuine sports dynasties," he said. "I am committed to the Montreal Canadiens with the ultimate goal of restoring the stature of the franchise as the greatest team in hockey."
The NHL's board of governors must approve any deal, a process expected to take four to six weeks. The Canadiens and their heavily taxed arena were put up for sale last June.
NBA
All-Star game could be without Carter
TORONTO — Vince Carter's reinjured knee might force him to miss the All-Star game.
The Toronto Raptors' forward, the leading All-Star vote-getter for the second straight year, was to undergo tests on his left knee yesterday.
He played about four minutes in the Raptors' defeat of the
Philadelphia 76ers on Tuesday, before aggravating the injury, known as jumper's knee.
as jumper's knee.
RAPTORS
Carter said before the game he couldn't push off on the knee, which had been bothering him since
November. He has already missed five games this season because of the injury.
Carter, fourth in the league in scoring at 27.7 points a game, didn't travel with the Raptors for last night's game in Atlanta.
Toronto coach Lenny Wilkens said Carter might have to skip the Feb. 11 All-Star game in Washington.
"My knee has uncomfortable pain right now whenever I drive or move to the basket," Carter said. "We'll see what the problem is."
Because of his injury, the 2000 slam-dunk champion has already decided not to try to defend his title during All-Star weekend.
Toronto general manager Glen Grunwald said Carter might have to play the rest of the season in pain.
Injuries have already forced Miami center Alonzo Mourning (kidney ailment) and Orlando forward Grant Hill (foot injury) to miss the All-Star game. Both players are out for the season.

Rebounds propel 'Huskers to win
By Brandon Stinnett sports @kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
The Nebraska women's basketball team hasn't done a whole lot well during Big 12 Conference play this season. But when it comes to rebounding, nobody does it better.
The Cornhuskers (8-11, 2-6 Big 12) asserted their rebounding supremacy last night in a 73-62 victory against Kansas in Allen Fieldhouse. In the process, Nebraska dug itself out of the basement of the Big 12 standings and into a tie with the Jayhawks (8-11, 2-6).
Nebraska outbounded the Jayhawks 48-34 in the game and pulled down 19 offensive boards, compared to 15 for Kansas.
Nebraska guard Shannon Howell, who led the Cornhuskers with 18 points, said intensity and rebounding were the keys.
"I think the big difference in this game today were offensive boards and rebounding and playing with emotion," Howell said. "We haven't been playing with emotion lately."
Nebraska's intensity proved useful each time the Jayhawks tried to mount a comeback in the second half.
Kansas cut the Cornhuskers' lead to 49-48 on a pair of free-throws by junior guard Selena Scott with just under 11 minutes remaining in the second half. But Nebraska answered right back with a three-pointer by senior guard Amanda Went, pushing the lead back to four. Went was three-for-four from behind the arc in the second half.
Nebraska coach Paul Sanderford said the Cornhuskers picked the right times to make baskets near the end of the game.
"We hit some big shots in the second half," he said. "The way
you stop a run is you got to make shots and we made some big shots in the second half."
Howell said the Cornhuskers took advantage of the Jayhawks' decision to play zone defense.
"They tried to switch it up and play a 1-3-1 and we just shot them out of it." Howell said. "Then they played us man, and they couldn't guard us. They just couldn't stop us."
With the win, the Cornhuskers snapped a five-game losing streak and picked up their first Big 12 road victory of the season. Center Casey Leonhardt, Nebraska's leading scorer and rebounder, said she could sense the team's desire to win down the stretch, something that's been lacking in recent games.
"I think we came out with a lot of energy and were very aggressive tonight," Leonhardt said. "That's something that's been missing from our game in the last few. I think energy is something you should bring to the game every day."
Nebraska leads the Big 12 in defensive rebounds, averaging 28.29 a game, and is fifth in offensive boards at 13 a game. Kansas, on the other hand, ranks last in defensive rebounding and 11th in offensive rebounding.
"Rebounding is something you just have to keep working for," Leonhardt said. "Rebounding is a big focus for us. We try to keep people off the boards and go get the ball. We have a lot of kids who are very competitive and keep going after the ball."
The victory serves as a confidence-booster for the Cornhuskers heading into three-straight home games against ranked teams. Nebraska plays No. 8 Iowa State on Sunday before facing No. 10 Oklahoma and No. 23 Colorado next week.

Depth fails 'Hawks again
by Jessie Meyer

Kansan sportswriter
Bv Jessie Mever
The Nebraska Cornhuskers trampled the Jayhawks' hopes for their first victory streak since December, upending the 'Hawks 73-62 last night at Allen Fieldhouse.
The victory snapped a five-game losing streak for the Cornhuskers (10-11, 2-6 Big 12 Conference), and gave them their first conference road victory and third road victory this season.
"I was really hopeful that we might be able to pull this one out," coach Marian Washington said.
Although the Jayhawks (8-11, 11-2) stayed in the running for much of second half, they never captured the lead after the 11-minute mark in the first half.
The Jayhawks never got into a shooting groove, hitting just 36.7 percent of their shots from the field and 12.5 percent from behind the arc.
Senior forward Jaclyn Johnson led the way, turning in her fifth double-double of the season with 19 points and 11 rebounds. But lack of rebounding and depth continue to take Kansas out of the close games.
The Jayhawks lost ground on the boards, giving the 'Huskers second and third chances to score. Nebraska out-rebounded Kansas 48-34 and scored 25 points on second-chance baskets
"It's people not covering their assignments or doing the little things," Johnson said. "It's just frustrating."
Struggling to connect from the field, the Jayhawks scrambled to stay within striking distance throughout the game. The score fluctuated throughout the second half, with the "Hawks trailing by as many as 14 and as little as one.
"I give Nebraska credit to putting some good pressure defense on us," senior guard Jennifer Jackson said. "But we have to respond better than what we did."
As soon as the Jayhawks got back in the running, Nebraska answered by dominating in the paint and from behind the three-point arc. The Cornhuskers shot 30.8 percent from behind the arc, including three long balls in the second half. Nebraska also outscored Kansas in the paint 36-22.
The Jayhawks continue to struggle to find scorers off the bench and found themselves even more shorthanded with senior forward Brooke Reves sitting out much of the game because of foul trouble. Reves later fouled out after playing just 16 minutes and contributing six points.
"I just didn't play smart tonight," Reves said. "I really, really wanted this win. This was supposed to be a big game."
Kansas has relied on its senior class all season for points and leadership, and Washington said in order for the Jayhawks to be successful Reves, Jackson and Johnson had to be on the floor.
"It's obvious that we are very shorthanded and there's nothing we can do about that," Washington said. "If any of the three is not on the floor, no, there's no way (we'll win). There's no excuses. This is just where we are."
Game notes
Reves gained her 100th career steal and junior guard Selena Scott grabbed her 100th career rebound.

Leavenworth senior and Kansas basketball recruit Wayne Simien is preparing for his career as a Jayhawk with a stellar high school season.
True Jayhawk
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
He's a good boy with a mean dunk, his hometown's favorite son and a bully only to opponents on the basketball court.
"He's an outstanding young man and he's having a great, great season," Williams said. "He's very good defensively and he's a fantastic rebounder. He's really a great youngster. I think everyone will really enjoy watching him play."
Simien, a senior center at Leavenworth High School, is the tallest oak on the hardwood floor at 6-feet-9. He's no twig either, but a beefy, broadshouldered kid who weighs around 240 pounds.
If he's as good as advertised, it's likely people will enjoy meeting Simien as well. Whether it's his break-
your-wrist-off firm handshake, constant
smile or smooth, clear
voice, Simien's known
t h r o u g h o u t
Leavenworth as a
class-act who's living
his childhood dream of
becoming a Jayhawk.
He's Wayne Simien and he's going to be a Javhawk.
COLUMBUS 23
He's a prototypical Roy Williams recruit — a nice guy who plays a good game and takes care of business in the classroom. Perhaps that's why Williams gushes about Simien so much.
"My parents stay on me real hard and everyone knows me around Leavenworth." Simien said. "I can't get away with anything. I've got people knowing my curfew. If they see me out past my curfew they call my parents.
Simien, who has lived in Leavenworth since birth, gives credit to his parents and a community that cares.
Teammate David Albo will tell you Simien, who leads Leavenworth in scoring, is a nice guy who enjoys watching cartoons.
No slouch in the classroom, Simien
"I know coming from a small town there's a lot of trouble you can get into, but luckily I've placed myself around people that keep me thinking positive and keep me from that stuff."
boasts a 3.6 grade point average. He's pushing a 3.8 this semester while claiming to battle senioritis. His focus on his academics is something he wears in the form of a knee brace. Simien broke his patella during his freshman year and that injury, he said, was a blessing in disguise.
"My freshman year I was just crushed, and
it put things into perspective for me." Simien said. "I knew I wouldn't be able to play basketball all the time. It helped me really focus on my education and put things into perspective."
The injury healed, and he's now focused on leading the Pioneers to a state championship.

See SIMIEN on page 5A
Good guy Simien fits in with 'Hawks
Wayne Simien sticks out.
And he stuck out to Kansas coach Roy Williams.
He sticks out in the classroom with his 3.8 grade point average. He sticks out in a crowd with his shy smile. He sticks out in a basketball game as the only 6-foot-9 kid on the court.
I had the pleasure of witnessing Simien on Tuesday night as his Leavenworth Pioneers pulled out a 57-50 victory against the Lawrence Lions. I've never seen high school basketball like that.
The Kansas coach offered Simien a scholarship and the Leavenworth senior accepted, signing a letter-of-intent with the Jawhooks in November
Wayne Simien is what everyone says he is: strong, smart and swift, as well as a little unpolished, slightly clumsy and young.
P
SorokWarren
He's a tall kid, not lanky nor pudgy. He wears a white brace on his left knee and sweats buckets through his No. 2 jersey. He's got a nice fadeaway jumper and a mean dunk. He's Rickie Licklard and the Lakers knew it.
He's Division I material and the Lions knew it.
The Lions double- and triple-teamed him, they swatted at his face and attempted to block his every shot. Lawrence's efforts held Simien to merely 19 points and about 10 rebounds.
And although a double-double is nothing to frown at, I was more impressed with Simien's presence on the court. Granted, he's still a high school kid. He had his share of turnovers and he gets silly fouls. But he doesn't pout and he doesn't play dirty when he makes mistakes, which makes him more mature than some of his peers.
Simien has the Drew Gooden curse of being called for goal tending just because he can jump higher than anyone else. That's impressive.
To ton it off. he can make a basket when it counts.
With a minute left in the game, Simien made a lay-up that gave the Ploneers a 51-50 advantage.
Williams always said he recruited kids who were not only good players but also kids who had good character, good work ethic and good academic skills. Simien fits all of those qualifications.
Wayne Simlen will definitely be a good fit for Kansas next season. But there's no question about it — he'll still stick out.
Warren is an Overland Park sophomore in journalism and Spanish.

Advice to tm²
wanna-be's:
"Wanna-be" yourself.
ravis Millard has never been caught doing public art, which law-abiding folks might call graffiti. Maybe it's because he's always got a plan.
Last spring, he was downtown with a bucket of wallpaper paste and copies of his drawings, looking for a suitable side-of-a-building canvas. When things got dicy, he and his friend, Brock Batten, took off in different directions.
And then, in accordance with that night's plan, they met at The Eighth Street Taproom, 801 New Hampshire St.
Confounded by the authorities, Millard took his art inside and pasted his cartoon-like characters in the Taproom bathroom. Millard, who goes by the moniker $tm^2$, has a recognizable style that didn't confuse anyone — especially Taproon manager Jeremy Sidener. The next day Sidener called Millard and asked if the bathroom art was his handiwork.
"I denied it immediately," Millard said. "But then he asked if me if I'd finish it."
Since then, the bathroom has taken on a personality of its own, with people writing comments and Millard responding with his own words and new drawings.
"It's developing into something I never imagined it would. It's this living, breathing thing," he said. "It's just been this happy accident."
Sidener said the art improved what had been a boring bathroom.
But Millard is more than just a bathroom artist. He's done paintings on the back patio of the Replay Lounge, 946 Massachusetts St., and has done work for magazines such as Spin, Detour and Black Book.
"If he's going to be creative about his vandalism, it seemed a perfect opportunity to exploit that," he said. "It's like a gallery in a sense."
For Spin, he did a piece on the bar scene, drawing from his experiences at local bars and coffee shops.
"I watch people at bars all the time and I listen to bar conversations," Millard said. "You become aware of
how ridiculous bar chatter is. It can be a pretty delusional scene."
More information For more information and examples of Millard's artwork, visit www.kansan.com
When he's not out on the town sketching or pasting, Millard works at Artist Workshop, a music and art distributor he
helped start earlier this year. He also sings and plays guitar with the band The Ugly Boyfriend.
Millard has been doing art since an early age. In elementary school he was into punk rock and busting at the seams of the Wrangler jeans his dad sells for a living. Although he rejected the jeans, he's met the cowboy look halfway.
"I was always a skate punk," he said. "But when I developed my own sense of fashion, the only thing I wanted to wear were gaudy, old cowboy shirts."
At the University of Kansas, he's done art for the most recent KJHK 90.7 T-shirts. Recently, he did the art for the station's spring program poster. The poster is in the spirit of artistic 1960s concert posters, said Phil Cauthon. KJKH graduate teaching assistant.
"We chose Travis because, by my limited knowledge of Lawrence artists, he's made the biggest name for himself," Cauthon said. "We're trying to link our poster with the caliber of art that Travis does."
Since graduating from KU three years ago, Millard has been reluctant to settle down on one idea or project. He worked as a designer at an advertising firm for four months and hated it. Since then, he said the mission of his art had been "to subvert the nature of advertising."
His comic strip, "Fudge Factory," pokes fun at everything from boy bands and professional wrestling to relationships. Although the comic had a successful four-month run in an Indiana weekly, The Bloomington Independent, Millard turned down an offer of national syndication and stopped doing the

Still, he's drawn back to comic lines and urban art. He sees his public art as a way of covering up graffiti and putting up something more interesting to look at.
Frequent collaborator Brock Batten agreed.
"I think the nature of graffiti is awesome," Batten said. "Graffiti has the power to speak against the powers that be and raise issues the news isn't reporting on."
ROOTUP
"It became pretty unfunny to me," he said. "It became a chore. I don't want to be funny on demand and I don't think a comic strip is an appropriate venue for everything I want to say."
comic regularly.
When Millard's work pops up in downtown alleways and on sides of buildings, Batten said it was just another outlet for his creativity and wry humor.
"It's for the good of the community." he said.
Both Batten and Millard spoke about the recent trend of graffiti artists crossing the line into galleries and museums. It's something Millard has already done. This spring, his art will be in a gallery shows in Kansas City, Mo., Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Now he just has to decide what he wants to do and where he wants to go. Whatever direction that is, it will most likely always include a little paste, some playful humor and a lot of creativity.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 1).
Something you put up with at home could become intolerable this year. Make the changes you've thought about. You may be frustrated in February. By March you're coming up with brilliant schemes, some of them totally unrealistic. By May you should have decided how to enact your plans. May is a practical month, good for laying new foundations. Romance blossoms in June — in abundance. Don't expect much from your mate in August; figure out what needs to be done yourself. Take action by November. Your hunches are right. Prepare for company in December.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Take a friend's advice to heart and you will benefit romantically. Let your gentle side out. You could benefit financially if you redirect money to your savings account.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 6 .
A struggle with an older person could end in a standoff. You won'tudge and neither will he or she. You base your decisions on good practical common sense, and the other person uses facts and figures. You're both right. Try to compromise.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5. Travel looks attractive, but isn't a good idea. You need to finish an assignment first. Don't despair. Conditions for travel improve this weekend. Make a date and reservations now.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7 .
Friends might suggest spending more than you can afford. Even for a good cause, delay a little longer Make sure your future is secure before you accept any more expenses.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 4.
Things could grind to a halt. Others know their objectives, but no one has your interests at heart.
Might be good to stall. Don't worry, you're good at this.
Virgo (Aug, 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 6 . Work and romance vie for your attention. Don't call your sweetheart long distance during office hours, even with an 800 line. You could get caught.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 23) — Today is a 7 .
Save for this weekend and travel to a favorite place. You and your sweetheart will have a marvelous time, but plan ahead to keep expenses down. Stay with relatives, for example.
Scarpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
Something isn't going as planned. Your partner was nearly convinced you were right, but that could change by tomorrow. You may have to acquiesce to you mate, so be willing to compromise. Stand firm, of course, just to prove your point.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6 . Be careful on a new program or difficult project. There may be more bugs to find. You will have everything running smoothly, eventually, but more study is required.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
Love means more than money to you, by a long shot.
Don't feel guilty if you turn work down. Focus an loved ones, now, while you can. You can work over the weekend.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
You're strong but don't seem to be getting anywhere.
Check your brakes and anchors; one could be stopping you. Stay home tonight and rest. You cannot imagine the benefits.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
Walk quietly and carry a big stick. Your idea will probably prevail. You may seem outnumbered, but your insight could be what others lack. Be gentle, as you persuade them you know best.

cathartic, gospel-fueled climax.
Sadly, the final track on the first disc suggests that the Harrison of today is unable to reach the creative heights of the original All Things Must Pass. Disc one closes with "My Sweet Lord 2000," a dismal remake. The dry production, thin vocals and limited instrumentation Harrison now seems to prefer, makes one realize the quality of the original song — and the original album.

Defoe shines in vampire film
13
By Aaron Passman
Jayplay reviewer
jayplay@kansan.com
Willem Dafoe stars in Shadow of the Vampire. Contributed photo
The premise of Shadow of the Vampire is a simple, though extremely original one.
When legendary German filmmaker F.W. Murnau (John Malkovich) created his silent masterpiece Nosferatu, the man he chose for the vampire, Max Schreck (Willem Dafoe), was nothing less than a vampire himself.
Tensions run high on the set as Murnau fights to make the film his way as well as keep his lead actor from feeding on the blood of his terrified cast and crew.
It's a stunningly original film, written by Stephen Katz and directed by E. Elias Merghie. John Malkovich is excellent as always,
and Willem Dafoe's performance as Schreck is certainly Oscar caliber.
The one complaint I have with Shadow Of The Vampire is that I never felt completely drawn in by it. I felt somewhat distant throughout much of the film, as though the director knew what he was trying to do with the film, but just fell one step short of completely captivating his audience.
Defoe is often filmed shrouded in darkness, with only his face and hands visible — a clever move on the director's part because it further illustrates Schreck's prison of eternal darkness.
Regardless, Malkovich and Dafoe carry the film successfully, as does the supporting cast, which includes Cary Elwes, Udo Kier,

Eddie Izard and Catherine McCormack as the object of the vampire's obsession and affection.
The movie is certainly different from traditional vampire fare, such as Dracula 2000. Instead, this film opts for a classier, more historical way to tell the tale.
This stylistic difference pays off in the end. *Shadow Of The Vampire* is for any moviegoer looking for an inspired, well-acted and thought-provoking production.

Exercise can help alleviate winter blues
There are 44 days left before spring break and 104 days until summer. You may be in the midst of the winter blues and I'm sure you've heard that a balanced diet and exercise can help elevate your mood, but do you know why?
It's for questions like this I invite you to "Ask KU FIT."

and other neurotransmitters in the brain. Physical activity also may influence mood by stimulating the release of various substances that help relieve pain and induce euphoria.
Scientific evidence supports that regular physical activity can reduce depression, anxiety and mental stress, while increasing mental cognition.
Before I get ahead of myself, let me tell you about KU FIT. It is a fitness program run by KU students for students, faculty and staff. We offer a variety of aerobic classes during the week including yoga, slide, aqua, step and box. We also have personal trainers for individual or group training sessions.

Now about the column.
Each week I will respond to fitness, nutrition, diet or exercise questions that you email me at jayplay@kansan.com.

Revival of Chicago coming to Lawrence
By Nicole Roché
joyplay@kansan.com
joyplay story writer
For Emily Pavey, the most memorable thing about seeing the musical Chicago was the actors' apparel.
"The costumes were all fishnet," the Minneapolis, Minn., freshman, said. "I just love fishnet." Chicago, the Broadway musical based on the 1926 play by Chicago Tribune reporter Maurice Dallas Watkins, will be performed at 8 p.m. tomorrow at the Lied Center. The show tells the story of Roxie Hart, a nightclub dancer who murders her unfaithful husband
and then becomes a star. A series of crime-related sequences enues as Hart battles a fellow nightclub dancer for the media spotlight.
Pavey, who saw a production of Chicago in London, said the musical had several points of interest that could captivate a college crowd.
"It has a great soundtrack." she said. "And there's some violence and some sex."
Chicago won six Tony Awards for its 1997 revival including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Lighting, Best Choreography and Best Direction of a Musical.
"This is one of those very, very hot shows that has been recently

performed on Broadway, and we were just excited we could bring it here," said Karen Christilles,
associate director for the Lied Center.
Christilles said before deciding to book a production like this, she first asked whether the play was a work of art and then took audience requests into account.
"Chicago was one of those events we had several requests for." she said.
Christilles said there was still limited seating available, but she expected the show to sell out.
"I would tell students to go to the Lied Center box office the night of the show, because sometimes we have ticket holders or patrons turn tickets back in," she said.

Columnist shares New Year's insight
By Greg Zielinski
jayplay@kansan.com
Jayplay columnist
The dawn of a new year is traditionally a time for honest introspection, during which we attempt to identify traits in ourselves we would like to improve.
7. Stop pretending I'm Black and then calling in Free For All comments about White boys and their T-shirts.
As a result, if you're anything like me, you've come to associate an overwhelming sense of self-dissatisfaction and depression with Dick Clark.
As a result, I decided to make a list of things to accomplish in the new year. Although I've already told my friends my unsolicited opinions about how to improve themselves, neither one of them was very responsive. Nonetheless, here they are for you.
6. Also, no more "Greek-bashing" Free for Alls, After all, Greeks are rich in history and culture. Anyone who has seen the Parthenon or tasted gyros can tell you that.
10 TOP TEN
My Top Ten Resolutions for the New Year:
3. Quit smoking in my dorm room, resigning myself instead to buy my beef jerky at the store like everyone else.
4. Change my format to include more Brittany Spears.
5. Start exercising with the "Body by Jake" videos and
10. Quit having sex with so many random, beautiful women because they can't handle my amazing love-making ability.
2. Stop being such a stupid, self-critical jerk.
DAVID HAYES
Greg Zielinski
9. Quit lying compulsively.
8. Really buckle down and find out, once and for all, who let the dogs out.
2. Beep being.
3. Because the cleaning and other chores she does really are like a job, and the weekly "gifts" is a kind of salary; get rid of the Guatemalan living in my dorm room, that is, if I still hope to become labor secretary.
Zielinski is a Lakewood, Colo., freshman.

New swimsuit styles surface downtown

Jayplay stuff writer
Even though there may be snow on the ground, now is the perfect time to start the hunt for a perfect swimsuit.
But buying a suit isn't always fun for students.
Stores on Massachusetts Street are already displaying their spring lines for women, and the men's lines are expected to arrive within the next few weeks.
"My biggest problem with finding a swimsuit is that it's always so crowded, and sometimes they don't have my size," said Lindsi Wyner, Dallas sophomore.
Malia Carlson, sales associate at The Buckle, 805 Massachusetts St., said shoppers who needed a couple of weeks to find a suit should start looking now.
"A couple weeks before spring break and the first couple of weeks in May are our busiest times for selling swimsuits," she said.
Purchasing a suit that will make heads turn is not always an easy task, especially for women. However, a large number of styles are on the market this season.
The traditional one-piece suit never goes out of style. Bikini-lovers can try a tube top or bandeau, which is a pullover with detachable straps that convert into a halter. Shoppers who are self-conscious about their legs can try wrapping their waist with a woven pearo.
If a new style is what you long for, try a J. Crew keyhole suits. The top is a pullover that ties at the back of the neck with a keyhole in the center.
For women, cool and pastel colors such as light pink, peach, purple and navy are hot right now. Polka dots, stripes and floral designs are sure to show up on beaches. Solid colors and mismatched solids are still in stores for shoppers who steer clear of wild designs.
For guys, picking a suit can be much easier.
Mini Patterson, sales associate at Shark's Surf, 813
Shopping tips:
If the stores in Lawrence don't carry anything that catches your eye, try the Plaza in Kansas City, Mo., or the Oak Park Mall in Overland Park.
Don't be afraid to be a little wild this spring. If you like bright, flashy colors in loud patterns, go for it.
Try everything on before you buy it. What looks good on someone else might not look good on you.
Massachusetts sts, said the store had a wide variety of board shorts, and reversible floral designs in bright colors were popular for guys this year.
"Our best selling brands are Billabong and Quiksilver," she said.

Talbots opening rouses concern
By Erin Adamson
By Erin Adamson
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Last Friday, Talbots clothing store became the newest business to open in downtown Lawrence, but some business owners worry that chain stores could change the local flavor of downtown.
The Lawrence location joins other nearby stores in Topeka, Overland Park and the Country Club Plaza in Kansas City.
As part of the trend of new development downtown, Talbots occupies a recently completed building at the corner of Seventh and Vermont streets. Other chain stores in that area that have opened recently include The Gap, Abercrombie and Fitch, Eddie Bauer
and American Eagle Outfitters.
Terri Faunce, co-owner of The Casbah, 803 Massachusetts St., said that the rejuvenation of downtown was good, but that there should be limits on how many national chains could set up shop.
"I don't want it to get where our downtown looks like every other downtown," Faunce said.
But Faunce said new development set a challenge for independent business owners.
JoAnn Seitz, assistant manager at Talbots,
said that customers thought the store had a place downtown.
"A lot have said Lawrence has needed this kind of store." Seitz said.
She said the store had a large petite section, which was unique to Lawrence.
Future development in the 900 block of New Hampshire will bring more new businesses to the downtown. Private developers will build three buildings designed as commercial spaces.
Dave Corliss, assistant city manager, said that the city did not know what businesses would occupy the new commercial spaces in the 900 block of New Hammish Street.
Faunce said she worried that the national chains would drive rent up.
Bill Sepic, president and CEO of the Chamber of Commerce, said that the Chamber was not involved in recruiting retail and food stores that would be downtown, but that the Chamber supported all businesses.
"I hope it isn't going to raise the rent so high to where independently-owned businesses can't afford it." Faunce said.
"It is not for us to determine a homegrown store is better than a national chain store," Sepic said.
Sepic said that the Chamber would have been supportive of the development in the 600 block of Massachusetts, but that it didn't actively recruit businesses to fill the new buildings.

KU graduate makes it big on The Mole
By Sarah Smarsh
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas alumna has made her way to prime time. Kathryn Price, a 1994 graduate, is a player on The Mole, ABC's new reality-based television series.
Price, 28, is one of 10 players sent to a secret location for three weeks. The players compete in mental and physical tests to win up to $1 million. However, one player — the "mole" — secretly tries to sabotage the "contestants. Each week, the player who knows the least about the "mole" is eliminated.
Megan Mitchelson, a KU graduate living in Leawood, was Price's friend and fellow Kappa Alpha Theta sorority member. She thought Price, one of the remaining six players, would survive one way or another.
"Everything she has ever tried, she has accomplished," Mitchelson said. "If she doesn't win, then she's the 'mole.' "
Mitchelson thought Price owed her success thus far on the show to being very intelligent, perceptive and possessing a "nearly photographic memory."
Leah Davis, Kansas city resident and member of Price's sorority pledge class in 1991, agreed that Price had the tools to remain a key player on the show.
"She was a real go-getter — very intelligent," Davis said. "I kind of think she's the 'mole.' She's smart enough to pull it off."
Mitchelson said Price, who received highest distinction honors when receiving a degree in political science, had backed out of a teaching position at the University of Chicago to take her chances on The Mole.
"She was very into Survivor and reality-based TV shows," Mitchelson said.
When Price saw an audition notice in a Chicago newspaper, she decided to become more than a spectator. Mitchelson said.
"It's kind of out of character for her to do something like this," Mitchelson said. "Most of the things she does are more academic."
The Mole airs at 7 d.m. on Tuesdays.
Price isn't the only KU alumna featured on reality TV, Megan Denton, a 1997 graduate, has been seen as a temptress on FOX's Temptation Island, which airs at 8 p.m. on Wednesdays.

Town celebrates its historic roots

Angela Bates-Thompkins, historian and descendant of the original settlers of Nicodemus, speaks about preserving the small Kansas town established for African Americans in 1877.

Nicodemus was a part of the Old West that students did not read about in their history books.
The small Kansas town was established in 1877 specifically for former slaves who were struggling during the end of Reconstruction.
Historian Angela Bates-Thompkins, a descendent of the town's settlers, spoke yesterday at the Kansas Union about Nicodemus' heritage, its importance for today and its prospects for the future.
About 70 people attended the presentation, which was sponsored by the University of Kansas Libraries diversity committee in observance of Black History Month.
"We know about John Wayne," said Bates Thompkins, "but very seldom if ever did we see a Black face. There were Black cowboys, there were Black soldiers, there were Black pioneers, there were Black stagecoach drivers; we were a part of the West."
Bates-Thompkins has worked to preserve the town for future generations and was the primary force behind establishing the Nicodemus National Historic Site. The town receives federal funding because of its designation.
Bates-Thompkins said Nicodemus represented the African-American experience in the West.
At first, the settlers experienced more hardships than prosperity. In the first year of
Nicodemus was founded by land developers and promoters who used the lure of free land to entice former slaves from Kentucky to relocate and settle in the town.
"They had to have a strong, strong faith in God and determination," said Bates-Thompkins. "Those people were unique because they had an extreme desire for self-autonomy."
Nicodemus' existence, the townpeople lived in duduns and almost died of starvation.
It was the Osage Indians who came to their aid and gave them food.
But because the town could not convince Union Pacific to build a railroad through Nicodemus, the population declined.
"If it wasn't for the Native Americans, we wouldn't be here." Bates-Thomkins said.
Eventually, the town began to prosper, and in its heyday around the turn of the century. Nicodemus had a population of 600 people and boasted many amenities, including hotels, churches, newspapers and a school.

Today, only about 20 people live in the town.
system is promoting the town, and it could attract as many a 30,000 tourists a year, Bates-Thompkins said.
Despite the town's small size. the National Parks
Nicodemus has an annual "Emancipation Day" celebration every summer, a tradition that dates back to 1878. Many people who have moved away from the town return for the festival as a sort of homecoming.
She said she was also planning to write a book about the town's history — specifically from a descendant's perspective.
"That's the thread that keeps all the descendants together." Bates-Thompkins said.
C. J. Wilford, St. Louis junior, first heard about Nicodemus in a history class in high school and has been intrigued with the town. He said he would one day like to visit Nicodemus.
Bates-Thompkins encouraged everyone, not just African Americans, to make the journey.
"Come see what African Americans have done and are doing," she said.

Mayan heiroglyphics focus of student club
1 chuwen 14 yax isn't the name of a comedy troupe, a novel or a new rock band.
It's the date Nov. 15, 2000, in the Mayan calendar and the name of a new student club devoted to learning about Mayan hieroglyphic writing.
By Sarah Warren
John Tomasic, president of 1 chuwen 14 yax and Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, explained the name.
Kansan staff writer
"We decided to give it that name because that's the date we were founded in the Mayan calendar," Tomasic said.
"Iad taught a class on Mayan hieroglyphs for the past two semesters, so some students in that class decided that they wanted to meet outside of class time, and so they formed the club," said Pye, the club's adviser and associate professor of linguistics.
The club, which had its second meeting Wednesday night, consists of about 10 students who wanted to extend their learning outside of Clifton Pye's Mesoamerican writing class.
"The writing system developed in the classic Mayan cities," Pye said. "If you know one of the living languages, then you can use a lot of the living language to decipher the hieroglyphs. You can actually see the way the
Pye said hieroglyphs were first used by the Mayan people of southern Mexico and Central America in 200 B.C. Today there are 26 different types of Mayan languages spoken in Guatemala, Honduras, Belize and Mexico, he said.
Pye speaks a Mayan dialect called K'iche', which he picked up while doing research in Latin America. His students have learned another dialect called Kakchikel, which is taught at the University of Kansas.
Tomasic is quick to point out that one doesn't have to be an expert on Mayan hieroglyphs attend the meetings, the next of which is at 7 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 15, at Alcove C in the Kansas Union.
"It's really all levels of readers — there's beginners to intermediate," Tomasic said. "Anybody who doesn't know a thing can go to the meeting and learn."
hieroglyphs spell out the language."
"They're like the romance languages in that they all are very closely connected," Pye said of the Mayan languages. "Knowing any one of them is helpful with the hieroglyphs."
"We're hoping this spring to get a speaker from the State University of New York," Tomasic said. "And we're trying to organize trips to go to conferences where people who are interested meet with experts of Mayan writing and culture."
Tomasic said the club wouldn't just discuss Mayan hieroglyphs on their own.
Pye said club trips to Latin America were possible but still far in the future.
→
"Several members of the club were in Guatemala over the summer learning Kakchikel, and in the course of that visit we saw some ruins at Tecpan, Guatemala," Pye said. "So trips are possible, but we're still basically organizing the club, so that's still a ways away."

Ex-director appointed to new University post
Margareta O'Connell, former director of the office of Study Abroad, has accepted the position as assistant to the dean for special programs. O'Connell and Diana Carlin, dean of international programs, are working to define her new job, Carlin said.
O'Connell will work on updating and coordinating many of the files within the department. She will develop a current list of former KU students that studied abroad along with international students that came to the University. This will allow for regular contact and fund raising by the department, Carlin said.
O'Connell was replaced as director of study abroad earlier this semester because of restructuring within the department. Carlin wouldn't comment on the decision to give Susan Gronbeck-Tedesco the position. O'Connell said she did not know the reasons for her removal, but would not comment further.

Senate passes rules for reserve account
Student Senate passed a bill Wednesday night establishing criteria for allocating money from the reserve account, which holds money that had been allocated to student groups by Senate but hadn't been spent. Its balance is approximately $428,000.
"It sets a limit, and says, 'Hey, this is how much money we'll spend for the rest of the year,' " Walker said.
Ben Walker, student body president and co-sponsor of the bill, told Senate the bill was necessary.
At the end of the fiscal year, 50 percent of funds in the unallocated account, which Senate uses to grant money to student organizations, will be transferred into the reserve account. The other 50 percent will go into the unallocated account for the following year.
The balance of the reserve account is not supposed to fall below $150,000 unless money is needed to maintain vital functions of Senate. Any expenditure from the reserve account must be at least $1,000, and any project that uses reserve account funds must bene fit a substantial number of students or have a lasting effect on the University.
The new reserve account regulations will go into effect in 2002, Walker said.

Haskell to inaugurate first female president
sports complex. She has been interim president at Haskell for a year.
For the first time in Haskell Indian Nations University's existence, it will have a woman president.
Karen Swisher will be inaugurated as Haskell's fourth president at 10 a.m. today in the Warner E. Coffin
Immediately following the inauguration, her presidential portrait will be unveiled in the President's Room at the Stidham Union. At 2:30 p.m. the Haskell Cultural Committee will sponsor a ground-breaking ceremony for Haskell's new museum and cultural center on Barker and Pawne streets, said Freda Tapedo, executive assistant to the president.
A powwow will take place at 6:30 p.m. at the Coffin Sports Complex. The event is open to the public.
Tonight's powwow will be a little different, though. Wanders dancers normally only dance with either the northern or southern tribes, Swisher will dance with both to represent all Native Americans, King said.
The powwow is an Native-American tradition that honors its ancestors and its tribe, King said. Every tribe has its own powwow traditions.
The powwow will consist of native food, a drum circle, an honor dance and songs to honor Haskell's new president.

Men burglarize home, steal cell phone, VCR
Two men, one armed with a gun and a baseball bat, forced their way into a Lawrence residence about 3:35 a.m. yesterday in the 200 block of Illinois Street, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick said four people were sleeping in the residence and heard the men force the door open. The men went from room to room looking for money, but did not find any. The home's two residents escaped out a bedroom window after the men had searched that room, leaving the two guests in the residence as they ran to call police from Lawrence Memorial Hospital.
The men left with a Qualcomm Sprint PCS cell phone and a VCR, which were valued at $700, Patrick said.
Police are continuing an investigation but do not have a description of the two men, Patrick said. Police are asking anyone with information to call 843-TIPS.
Hleitschmidt said that because the checks had been negative, the decision was made to let residents back in their homes.

Residents return home after gas explosions
Hutchinson residents were ordered to leave their homes after the explosion Jan. 18 in the Big Chief Mobile Home Park that destroyed a trailer and killed two people.
A leaking cavern at Kansas Gas Services' Yaggy Field seven miles northwest of the city had been the suspected source of natural gas pockets that were discovered after an explosion at two downtown businesses on Jan. 17.
HUTCHINSON — Two weeks after being forced to evacuate after a natural gas explosion, about 60 residents were allowed to return to their homes yesterday.
That cavern was sealed on Jan. 21, but natural gas continues to spew out of deep, old wells in the town.
Plans are being made to allow residents who want to move their trailers out of the park to do so, Heitschmidt said.
Each day officials have been checking the area for signs of natural gas. Hutchinson Police Chief Dick
Mobile home residents continued to return to the park in southeast Hutchinson on Wednesday to pick up belongings and vehicles.
Meanwhile the Kansas Geological Survey began seismic testing on Wednesday where a "thumper truck" was used to supply images of the earth under Hutchinson using vibrations, hopefully determining the path that the gas is taking from Yaggy into Hutchinson.
If the path can be identified, drillers will have a better idea where to dig holes, and the gas beneath the ground can be vented.
The Kansas Gas Service so far has identified 21 sites for drilling relief wells to allow the natural gas under Hutchinson to vent, Johnson said.

Ashcroft's confirmation disappoints Democrats
WASHINGTON — Former Sen. John Ashcroft won confirmation as attorney general yesterday, completing President Bush's Cabinet and overcoming a ferocious Democratic assault on his conservative views and personal integrity. The vote was 58-42.
"The president of the United States, George W. Bush, is entitled to have his selection as attorney general." Majority Leader Trent Lott said a few moments before the roll was called on the most contentious confirmation fight in a decade.
Democrats claimed a consolation prize, saying the 42 votes against the nomination would be enough to sustain a filibuster against future Bush administration nominations that they deemed too conservative. The votes in opposition were the most against any attorney general in the nation's history.
Vouching for the nominee's honesty and integrity, he brushed aside weeks of attacks by Democrats, including many of Ashcroft's former Senate colleagues. "I don't know that person" they're depicting, Lott said.

Inactive phones to combat abuse
For a victim of domestic abuse, any link to the outside world could mean the difference between life and death — even if that link is in the form of an abandoned cell phone.
The Donate a Phone Campaign allows inactive cellular phones to be reprogrammed and distributed to victims of domestic violence. The phones are programmed with 911 and two non-emergency phone numbers that the victim can call if threatened.
The campaign is an opportunity for the nation to support women's safety, said Sharon Sullivan, vice president of the February Sisters Association, a KU women's studies organization.
"When women are trying to escape and they don't have car keys or a place to go, at least they have their phone," Sullivan said. "It's so important for women to leave and get help."
The Wireless Foundation, the National Coalition Against Domestic Violence and Motorola designed the program and hope to collect one million cellular phones, according to the campaign's Web site.
And with the February Sisters Association, the campaign already has ties to Lawrence. The association announced Wednesday that it would collect phones for the campaign.
Phone donations will be taken between 11 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Monday, Feb. 12, through Friday,
Feb. 23, at the University Theatre
box office in Murphy Hall.
Donations will also be taken at
any performance of The Vagina Monologues.
Cellular phones of any brand and in any form of disrepair can be donated, as well as the corresponding batteries and chargers, according to the campaign's Web site. www.donateahone.com.
Chad Reasoner, information specialist at Headquarters Counseling Center, said the idea of safety being a phone call away was comforting.
When the phones are refurbished, they are completely cleared so donors will not be charged for any air time. Local wireless carriers doneate free emergency air time so that the recipients will not have to pay any charges.
"This program allows a shorter amount of time between having a problem and accessing someone for help," she said.

Karen Guilleminog started her college career last fall in a private school of 300 students in France, but will end the year at a public university of more than 20,000 in the Midwest.
JAYE NIKOLA
It was a considerable change for the international student, who enrolled in the University of Kansas this spring. To help with this transition, International Student Services has created the KU Cousins program. This peermentoring program made its debut last night in a matching ceremony, pairing off international and American students.

KU Cousins was established for the benefit of both international and American students, said Mousse Sissoko, coordinator of the program. The international students will meet American peers and participate in their cultural events. As a result of the pairing, the American students will also have the opportunity to learn from the international students before leaving the University.
"International students, without this group, tend to only spend time with others like them," Sissoko said. "They are missing one important aspect of what the KU experience should be. Domestic students will have a chance at an international experience. Both groups will benefit."
The program has recruited more than 65 international students with about 40 American students signed up. During their semester together, International Student Services will provide scheduled meetings for the new cousins. The office has designated a bi-weekly calling pattern for students to keep in touch.

Kris Dover saw this as an opportunity to meet new people. The Carl Junction, Mo., junior, who works in the international admissions department of International Student Services, said he had
noticed that his international friends didn't have an easy time meeting Americans.
"They will get to know someone that lives here," Dover said. "I think it will be fun. It's an easy way to help somebody."

Alternative paper to blow into Lawrence
By Brandon Stinnett writer@kansan.com Kansan stef writer
A new alternative newspaper is striving to give a voice to students who choose not to follow society's norms — those who traditionally go unheard in the mainstream news media.
The Tornado, a start-up alternative weekly newspaper, is set to hit Lawrence newsstands in early April.
Publisher Cate Pfeifer said The Tornado is designed to fill a need in the community for a newspaper that focuses on people not necessarily in the Lawrence spotlight. Pfeifer, who has a Ph.D. in mass communication from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, came to Lawrence from Wisconsin last year and said she was saddened to find no alternative newspaper.
While living in Madison,
Pfeifer fell in love with Th. Isthmus, an alternative newspaper that focused its coverage on a wide variety of issues, from community events and entertainment to alternative lifestyles and sex. She wants to bring that same kind of coverage to Lawrence.
"We want to have a strong presence in the media here," Pfeifer said.
Pfeifer said she wanted *The Tornado* to become something people read to get information they couldn't find anywhere else, much like *Pitch Weekly* has become in Kansas City.
That means doing things such as devoting extensive coverage to Haskell Indian Nations University, an institution Pfeifer feels is often neglected by other Lawrence media outlets.
But Pfeifer doesn't want to give the impression that *The Tornado* is against any of the
other area newspapers. She said people in Lawrence should enjoy a variety of options.
"We're not anti-any of the other newspapers," Pfeifer said. "There's room for all of them."
THE TORNADO
Pfeifer and Tornado editor Patrick Quinn are busy looking to The University of Kansas and Haskell for students interested in interning with the paper. The Tornado editors hope to eventually offer course credit to students who are willing to devote their time and effort.
"This is a start-up," Pfeifer said. "This is a magnificent opportunity for someone who is willing to put in the sweat equity."
In a city that is defined by its colleges, Quinn said *The*
Tornado had an obligation to cover them extensively, especially life at KU.
"They're the big place in town, and whenever something happens up there, you have to pay attention to it," Quinn said.
Kellie North, Emporia junior in journalism, welcomes the addition of a newspaper that doesn't focus as much on mainstream news. North, who is pursuing a career in public relations, said she would be interested in interning with The Tornado.
"We really don't have anything like that on our campus," North said.
Seung Ahn, Overland Park sophomore, said Lawrence could use a newspaper that goes beyond traditional news stories.
"The Kansan newspaper focuses on stuff that people mostly already know," Ahn said.

Corporate greed steals character from the Plaza
Although Lawrence has always guarded a small-town feel, it is arguably part of the Kansas City, Mo., metropolitan area. For KU students, the majority of whom are not from the Kansas City area, trips to Kansas City — especially to shop, dine and seek entertainment — are major facets of their university experience. Therefore, happenings regarding Kansas City are and should be relevant to us.
One particular Kansas City attraction frequented by KU students is, of course, the Country Club Plaza. The Plaza, with its many stores, restaurants and services, is famous for being one of America's great retail areas. It has been a Kansas City staple since its creation by real-estate magnate J.C. Nichols in 1977.

Nichols sale, The Kansas City Star published a nostalgic and saddening report about the closing of the Plaza Theatre, which had been open since 1928, so that Highwoods could contract with Cinemark Theatres of Dallas to open a 14-screen multiplex in Seville Square. The Plaza Theatre formerly had belonged to Dickinson Theatres, a small, Kansas City-based theater company. Changes like this soon became routine.
when I went back to the Plaza last summer for the first time in six months, I hardly could recognize it. Bebe had replaced the Nature Company. Tommy Bahama — a store by which I am repulsed
— had replaced Laura Ashley, which found itself forced to move to a much smaller location. The Plaza now has two Starbucks, both a block from LatteLand, a local coffee establishment. MAC Cosmetics has replaced Russell Stover Candles. Finally, in what is in my opinion the worst outcome of Highwoods' takeover, I discovered that Brooks Brothers — a store that has been active in one Plaza location as long as I have lived in Kansas City — has been forced to move from its large location to a very small location in Seville Square.
As Highwoods tries to increase its own profits (little of which returns to Kansas City), the beloved Plaza loses its character. Now, Highwoods wants Kansas City to create a special sales-tax district encompassing the Country Club Plaza so that it might "revamp aging structures." It must not be enough that they have utterly transformed a historical area — they want local citizens to pay for further changes.
In many ways, I see it as indicative of a growing national problem — large developers taking over historical local areas only to turn them into a larger version of a strip-mall. Where will it stop? I have no idea.
We at the University of Kansas have already witnessed this problem in Lawrence on Massachusetts Street. The problem, however, as one can plainly see, is not limited to smaller towns. Kansas City has lost something very special, and that loss ought to be mourned. I suppose that I will have to make more trips to Chicago — unless someone buys Michigan Avenue.

Perspective
Civil rights programs boost economic output
Liberal social programs are good for the economy. Two examples: the 1964 Civil Rights Act and affirmative action.
The Civil Rights Act says that if anybody thinks that he or she has been unjustly discriminated against by a business, then that person can go to the government and get the situation investigated. Under this law, employers are prohibited from hiring employees based on gender or skin color. The assumption is that these physical characteristics have nothing to do with how well a person can do a job.
Affirmative action is a much more limited program. It applies only to businesses that do business with the government, and it applies to recruiting practices, not hiring.
Because the potential force for the job is different, employers must recruit differently.
John Audlehelm guest columnist optinor.kansasan
dent and you're hiring jailors for a school in a predominantly African-American neighborhood. The law says that you have to recruit in ways that are more likely to attract African Americans. Now say you're the same superintendent who needs to hire a school principal. That search would be statewide and possibly nationwide and would probably not involve as many African Americans.
Here's how it works: Say you're a school superinten-
Affirmative action means that you are reasonably expected to recruit the qualified potential work force. It never means you have to hire somebody who is not qualified for the job.
Here's why these programs are good for the economy: Say that you've got 100 qualified applicants for a job and that these applicants represent a cross-section of society.
Out of those 100,51 are female,so you cross them off the list. Out of the remaining 49 males, six are minorities and three are homosexuals, so off they go. Your chances of hiring the most qualified person are now two in five.
If you don't like these laws because they cost money to enforce, then think how much money it costs to have a work force that's only two-fifths qualified. If you don't like them because they're inconvenient, then think how inconvenient it's been for the last 200 years to be anything but white, male, and heterosexual (from what I hear, it's still no picnic).
Liberal social programs have produced a more competitive, and therefore more qualified, work force. They've done more good for the economy than any Republican tax cut could ever do.
Our new president's response to all this?
"I don't like quotas," George W. Bush says. I assume this little nugget of wisdom means that Duba doesn't like laws that force employers to hire unqualified people. Isn't it ironic that electoral laws have forced us to do exactly that?

Editorial
Reality TV skews view of real life
The line between harmless entertainment and fantasy is rapidly becoming thinner.
Although the recent slew of "reality" television shows can be entertaining in their attempt to portray life, they exist as an artificial environment that should not be given undue attention relative to real life.
Along with MTV's veteran The Real World, a prolific number of shows have surfaced to feed viewers' desire to see reality television. Big Brother, Road Rules, Survivor, The Mole and Temptation Island are all shows that place "everyday" people who don't know each other in unusual situations and start the cameras rolling.
Who Wants to Marry a Multi-
Millionaire? added another twist by
creating a situation that would
(supposedly) bond two strangers
forever. That infamously ended
after one night of wedded woe.
As a form of entertainment, these shows provide an interesting genre that keeps viewers guessing what might happen next. They also hold viewer interest because the casts are often composed of regular people who apply and make the cut.
This allows viewers to identify with them more than they might with a famous actor because anyone could potentially be a member of the cast.
However, sometimes this fascination can be taken a bit far. Although it is normal to enjoy these shows and even identify with a specific character, it's something else to live from show to show and constantly discuss them.
These shows do not portray reality, but are actually contrived settings that very few individuals ever will experience. Whether the people are placed in a posh house and given a job, or eat rats and form alliances, they are always under the camera's eye and know that when the show's over, they go home.
These shows serve a good purpose because they entertain. They have a popular spot in today's culture and are not likely to go away anytime soon. Just keep in mind that they aren't reality; everyday life is. And since reality seems to be fascinating for everyone, here is a suggestion to consider: Go out and experience your own today.

Letters to the Editor Column about Hillary Clinton based on sexism,not record
I would like to respond to Friday's column about Hillary Clinton ("Beware of 2004 election as Hillary builds resume"). I understand the writer is entitled to his opinion, and I am not necessarily a supporter of Hillary. However, the poor quality of and the sexism in the article should be pointed out.
Mocking her actual "adequate qualifications" to run for political office, the writer mentions that Hillary might be a good candidate for president because she can run the country from the Oval Office as well as "the bedroom." The article did not mention qualities that might actually make her a good or a bad president. Other than saying she has a hidden agenda (ruling the universe?), the writer criticizes only her clothing.
I find this incredibly sexist. Most would not criticize a male politician's suits or ties. Hillary's clothing has nothing to do with her abilities (or lack thereof). He criticizes her clothing because she is a woman. Why should Hillary (or any other woman) be forced to live up to this common double standard of looking good and being qualified?
he stand-alone for looking good and being quizzed. If the columnist would actually like to dissuade me from voting for her in the future, he might try using legitimate reasons based on her ideas (and not her wardrobe). He could have mentioned her education (Yale Law school). She's served on
director's boards for businesses, and, in Arkansas, chaired the Education Standards Committee.
Although she chaired the Task Force for Health Care Reform, she has not held as many leadership positions in government as some other candidates. However, the columnist did not mention any of her past leadership positions, her ideas for change or even that he thought she lacked particular qualities needed to lead and motivate a nation.
Emily Payne
Olathe junior
What was the point in mocking her through the entire article or comparing her clothing to Fidel Castro's? As a friend of mine said, "Obviously, (the columnist's) ability to assess a woman is limited to her clothes and appearance. How pathetic."
Watkins committee clarifies issues surrounding lawsuit
On behalf of the Committee for the Preservation of Watkins and Miller Scholarship Halls at KU, we want to publicly set the record straight and state that the lawyer who is representing us in the case against the Bank of America is not Donald Strole. (Reporters can) contact David J. Brown for legal information. It is illogical to equate the preservation committee with all the residents of Watkins.
Second, to respond to some of the previous articles on this issue, and specifically to comments by University and Bank of America spokespersons, the women on the petition are not a small number
of disgruntled radicals. A number of residents are ready to join the case as soon as the next legal step is taken, and more names can be added to our case. Moreover, our committee includes enough alumnae from Watkins and Miller to finance its legal battle, which, because of the stalling tactics used by the other side, is quite expensive.
Residents and aunmure have tried unsuccessfully to use nonlegal routes to find out why our trust fund is diminishing when it should be increasing. The trust income was intended by Mrs. Watkins to fully fund the operations, upkeep and maintenance for both halls, and she made clear provisions for how to spend any additional income — which did not involve holding it in a slush fund at KU Endowment, away from public scrutiny. If properly managed, the trust should provide enough income to keep our buildings as nice as other beautiful, historical structures on campus and provide for other needs Mrs. Watkins envisioned. The declining return and diverted funds indicate that perhaps the trust is not being properly managed, and that is what we seek to find out. It does not take an extremist to support our case
It does not take an extremist to support our case because our demands are anything but extreme. All we are asking for is some information about the finances surrounding the maintenance and unkeep of our halls.

Softball begins amid questions of experience
By Brent Briggeman sports @kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
Ready or not, the Kansas softball team starts its season this weekend.
The team will participate in the Diamond Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M., after only two weeks of practice.
Kansas coach Tracy Bunge worried that the lack of practice time would hurt her team, especially because the cold weather has kept the Jayhawks indoors for much of their time.
Bunge: concerned about team's lack of outdoor practice.
"It's really scary that we haven't been able to be on the dirt to take ground balls," said Bunge, who is entering her fifth season at Kansas. "Using the turf inside is great for repetition, but it can also lead to some bad habits."
She said the team typically takes more time to prepare at the start of the season, but the tournament was too attractive to turn down.
"They offered us a good deal financially," she said. "Plus we have the chance to play a balanced field, including a Cal State-Fullerton team that is among the nation's best."
The No. 14 Titans will be joined by Mississippi, Colorado State and host team New Mexico.
The key concern for the Jayhawks, who were 30-32 last season, will be the pitching staff. Of the three pitchers on the roster, only junior Kelly Campbell has any Division I experience.
"It's nervous and it's exciting. It's going to be a real challenge for our staff because they're so inexperienced and so young. I'm hoping to see some good contributions from all three, but it's a real question mark going in." Bunze said.
Freshman Kara Pierce and junior college transfer Kirsten Milhoan will also take the mound this weekend.
"We already have a lot of team chemistry." Musser said.
Offensively, Kansas must rebound from last season's hitting woes — they hit just .228 as a team. The Jayhawks saw improvement during the fall season, however, when they hit .319.
With all the question marks, only one thing is certain, the Jayhawks will be put to the test early. They face the Titans in the first game of the round-robin tournament at noon and will play four more games this weekend.
Junior Shelly Musser will try to continue her role as the Jayhawks' spark plug from her lead-off spot. The two-time All-Big 12 center fielder already ranks second on the Kansas all-time stolen base list. She said the Jayhawks' unity and enthusiasm would make up for their inexperience.
Back pain slows Axtell
KANSAS

Kansas sportwriters
Kansas senior Luke Axtell may be battling a Texas-sized pain tomorrow, but it likely won't be his former team, the Longhorns.
Recurring pain from his lower back to his right knee has hindered Axtell's play mid-season for the past few years, but this year's pain is the worst, he said.
He is still expected to play when No. 3 Kansas (17-2 overall and 6-1 in the Big 12 Conference) takes on Texas (16-5, 5-2) at noon tomorrow in Allen Fieldhouse — but Axtell's minutes will probably be limited.
injuries are nothing new to Axtell. He missed time this season after breaking a bone in his hand during the preseason and then missed games because of two ankle sprains. Since then, coach Roy Williams said. Axtell had shown great improvement but was now facing another painful setback.
"Through the Texas Tech game he was making some shots and was getting better and better defensively," Williams said. "At Oklahoma he did not make any jump shots, yet he really helped us win the game with some other things that he did.
According to Axtell, his injury makes any movement difficult, including jumping, shooting or running.
"It affects your control over your body; I feel like I'm 7-feet-4 sometimes," the 6-foot-10-inch Axtell said. "It affects your coordination when your feet don't go where you want them to, and you don't have the strength going up that you want to have."
Axtell's back felt as good yesterday as it had in weeks, and it might have improved slightly, he said.
Axtell played his freshman season at Texas before an assistant coach released his grades to a radio station, causing him to lose trust within the program. His dislike for the program is now gone, he said.
"All of the ties I have to the program are gone. Everybody from my class is gone," Axtell said. "Now it's just a game so I'm just worried about getting some shots down."
The big body of Texas forward Chris Owens and the athleticism of Wichita native Maurice Evans may make Kansas' attempt to rebound from Monday's loss at Missouri even tougher. Owens has seven double-doubles this season, good for second in the conference behind Kansas' Drew Gooden, and Evans is eighth in the Big 12 in scoring, averaging 15.9 points.
Kansas will need lots of shots to fall when the Longhorns come to town. The Jayhawks have the highest scoring offense in the Big 12 with 84 points per game, but Texas has the No. 3 defense, allowing only 64 points per game.
Williams said Evans might be the greatest threat because of his athleticism and consistency. Williams said senior Kenny Gregory would be guarding Evans most of the time.
"I think he's made more three-pointers than anybody else on their team," Williams said. "He's very athletic when he takes the ball to the basket. He's been very consistent for them all year."
Senior guard Luke Axtell has been battling injuries this season. He says recurring back pain affects his playing ability, but he is expected to play against Texas at noon tomorrow in Allen Fieldhouse. Kansan file photo.

Tomorrow's game is the first in a brutal five-game stretch that consists of two games against Iowa State and one against Oklahoma State.
By Zac Hunter sports@kansan.com
Kansas (17-2, 6-1) cruised by Texas Tech and Texas A&M. It will try to continue the Texas paddlings against the Longhorns (15-5, 5-2) at noon tomorrow in Allen Fieldhouse.
Texas, the only Big 12 team south of the Red River with more than two conference wins, is eying an unset of No. 3 Kansas.
And they have the offensive firepower to hang with the 'Hawks. Despite only averaging 70 points, the Longhorns have three players that can break out and put numbers on the board.
"Maurice Evans hits three-pointers well, and Darren Kelly has been scoring a lot for them, so they have a lot of weapons that we need to be concerned about," said senior forward Kenny Gregory.
Junior guard Maurice Evans and junior forward Chris Owens, with senior guard Darren Kelly, are averaging better than 47 points, totaling 67 percent of Texas' offense.
"You can't say 'OK, we're going to zone them' because Maurice and Darren can make threes," Williams said. "And you can't think you can play them man-to-man and think you're going to do it for the whole game because all of them can take it to the basket."
That type of offensive production will keep Kansas coach Roy Williams on his toes. He'll have to keep changing up his defense.
Despite Texas' offensive potential, senior forward Luke Axtell said he wasn't worried.
Axtell said the Longhorn's offense would be a challenge, but the Jayhawks frontcourt was more than capable of handling Owens and he liked the way the backcourts stacked up.
But Kansas coach Roy Williams was more impressed with their defense. Texas is third in the conference in field goal defense. opponents are shooting just 38 percent against the Longhorns.
"I think we match up great," Axtell said.
"And I think that's typical of Rick's teams, that they are always good defensively," Williams sald.
A huge reason for that is Owens.
"Chris Owens, if he's not the best shot blocker in the league, he's at worst second," Williams said.
Owens leads the league in total blocks with 63 and is second in average blocks to Nebraska center Kimani Friend, who is averaging 3.21.

Football team needs change to be a winner
What's the matter with Kansas?
One problem: out of season, out of mind. Just about everybody's thinking-about the top-10 basketball team and ignoring the football team.
William Alien White, for whom our School of Journalism is named, became famous for asking and answering that question. I don't anticipate the same result for me, but I am asking, "What's the matter with Kansas football?"
However, a lot happens in the lull between the end of one football season and the beginning of the next. Besides spring practice, the football players have off-season strength and conditioning work to do. And right now, the Jayhawks coaching staff, with two new members, is still in the process of hiring.
Four assistant coaches are gone from the 2000 staff - two by their own choice and two who were asked to leave.
Another reason is that Kansas yielded 30-plus points in all seven losses and more than 40 points in four games. So Allen dismissed the defensive coordinator, who also happened to be the defensive line coach.
Why were the two coaches fired?
One reason is that the Jayhawks couldn't run the ball as well as some of us expected. So Kansas coach Terry Allen fired the offensive line coach and replaced the offensive coordinator.
However, the coaching staff turnover doesn't seem to be affecting recruiting. Jon Kirby, of MO-KAN Football ranks the Jayhawks' 2001 recruiting class as the 37th best in Division I, which ranks in the top third. Kirby lists 22 players who have given solid commitments to come to Kansas. Ten of those players are rated as three-star prospects, and one is a four-star prospect.
Kirby also gave high marks to the 2000 Kansas recruiting class. If those players, some of whom redshifted last season, perform up to expectations, the Jayhawks might manage a winning season.
Allen certainly can't be pleased with four-consecutive losing seasons here after his success at Northern Iowa. Under Allen, Northern Iowa was consistently a Division I-AA national power.
However, there are a lot of bullies in the Big 12 Conference — Oklahoma, Nebraska, Kansas State and Texas, to name a few. The Jayhawks played six Big 12 teams that went to bowl games last season and lost to each of them.
Also, the schedule didn't help the 'Hawks last year. Each year, Kansas plays three Big 12 South Division teams. Last season, the Jayhawks had to play national champion Oklahoma, plus bowl teams Texas and Texas Tech — and lost to all three. Kansas will play those same teams next season.
Two years from now, the Jayhawks will play the other three South Division teams: Texas A&M, Oklahoma State and Baylor. Had they met this year, the Jayhawks had a realistic chance to beat at least two of those three, transforming a 4-7 record into a 6-5 bowl season. Three ideas to improve the Jayhawk football team:
First, to get TV exposure, try to schedule a Thursday night game — but only if ESPN or Fox Sports will broadcast it. Second, schedule nonconference games against the weakest Division I-A schools available. Beating weak teams improves the team's record, builds the team's confidence and gives the nonstarts a chance to develop.
Third, schedule a "bowl trip" into the regular season. Try to play in Hawaii. Los Angeles, San Diego, New Orleans or Florida every year. Kansas will travel to Los Vegas in the 2002 season to play UNLV.
Recruiting should be easier if potential recruits know they will be on national television, get a chance to play early or take a trip to a "bowl" location.
— and recruiting is a major key to success.

'Hawks fight for wins
By Jessie Meyer sports @kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
The battle continues tomorrow for the Kansas women's basketball team as it struggles to stay afloat in the Big 12 Conference.
The Jayhawks (8-11 overall and 2-6 in the Big 12) meet up with the No. 21 Texas Longhorns at 5 p.m. tomorrow at the Frank Erwin center in Austin, Texas, hoping to rebound from the blow suffered against Nebraska on Wednesday night at Allen Fieldhouse.
"I think we've got a good shot at going in and giving Texas a run for their money on their home floor," said senior guard Jennifer Jackson. "We've got to do some little things. We're showing some things in practice that we're not showing in games."
The Jayhawks have struggled most with rebounding and keeping opponents from scoring second-chance points. Kansas coach Marian Washington said failure to bring the ball off the glass, combined with the lack of scoring off the bench, has taken the 'Hawks out of close games.
The Longhorns do not bring an
overabundance of height, which could help the Jayhawks grab some extra boards. But the Longhorns bring a balanced, fast-paced transition attack — one the Jayhawks will need to slow to stay in the game.
"It's always difficult to pull wins off on the road," Washington said. "I think that if we can just limit our turnovers and play the defense we need, we'll at least be in the ball game."
Failure to execute the little points of the game has repeatedly plagued the Jayhawks this season.
"It's unfortunate that so many things have challenged us this year," Washington said. "You can't imagine what it's like for them in the locker room after every game — especially the senior class that has experienced nothing but winning here."
The senior class of Jackson,
Brooke Reves and Jaclyn Johnson
finished with 11-5 conference
records in each of the past three
seasons and have not lost more
than 10 games per year.
Jackson said. "Until we really take that seriously, then we're not going to get too many victories."
But this season the 'Hawks haven't had much practice celebrating victories. They have won only twice since Dec. 21 when the Jayhawks exploded against Mississippi Valley State 116-34—the largest point margin in Kansas history.
And the outlook for the last eight conference games reveals an uphill climb for the Jayhawks. They will go head-to-head with five teams, including Texas, which are currently ranked in the Associated Press Top 25 this month. The 'Hawks will also face Colorado and Missouri, both of which are currently receiving votes.
The Jayhawks have not lost more than six conference games since the 1990-91 season, when they lost seven in the Big Eight Conference and 13 overall. Not only could this year's team snap that streak with one more loss, but it could rack up the most losses in Kansas women's basketball history — the most coming in the 1974-75 season when the 'Hawks lost 17.

Texas loses guard to injuries
Bv Brandon Stinnett
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriters
Texas is 11-1 at home this season, but the Longhorns will be missing something at the Erwin Center tomorrow.
Sophomore guard Alisha Sare, who had a strong freshman campaign last year, quit the team on Sunday after continuing injury problems.
"We obviously are disappointed in Alisha's decision," said Texas coach Jody Conradt. "It takes a certain level of commitment and sacrifice to play and compete at the collegiate basketball level, and it is not for everyone. While Alisha was sidelined earlier this year, rehabilitating her Achilles tendon injury, she had time to reflect on her future with basketball. She expressed to me that it wasn't in her heart to continue."
Sare, who had been out since November rehabilitating the injury, will remain on scholarship through the 2001 spring semester. She appeared in 11 games off the bench, averaging 2.9 points and .9 rebounds in 9.2 minutes per game. As a freshman last season, Sare finished second on the team in scoring, averaging 10.4 points. She played in all 34 games and started nine.
Sare said she intended to finish her degree at Texas.
"In order for me to excel academically, it is in my best interests to leave basketball behind. I only wish my teammates the very best," Sare said.
Texas will enter tomorrow night's game against Kansas without Sare, but the Longhorns are three days removed from an emotional, comeback 65-62 victory against No. 23 Colorado.
Texas (16-6 and 4-4 in the Big 12 Conference) erased a five point second-half deficit to beat the Buffaloes. Senior guard JoRuth Woods led all scorers with a season-high 25 points. She made a
career-high 11 field goals, shooting 11 of 17 from the floor.
Texas senior center Carla Littleton provided a lift for the Longhorns down the stretch. With the score 62-61 and 45 seconds remaining, Littleton blocked a shot that would have given Colorado the lead. And with 14 seconds remaining, Littleton scored on a put-back attempt to give Texas a three-point advantage.
Conradt said the Longhorns benefited from strong senior leadership.
"It was at times a struggle, but tonight was an early Senior Night for us," Conrad said after the Colorado game. "JoRuth Woods and Carla Littleton made some crucial plays. JoRuth really rallied the team, and Carla got a big block and a put-back for us in the final minute. Since our defense was pretty solid, I figured that we would win if we could score some points, and JoRuth answered that emphatically for us."

Kansas indoor track and field fans have one chance to see the team perform at home — the Kansas Invitational at 9 a.m. tomorrow in Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
Coach Stanley Redwine said the meet would be a great chance for Kansas sports fans to see their squad in action.
"We are excited to compete in our first meet at home this season," Redwine said. "It will be a great opportunity for the public to see what we do, and it is excellent for the sport to be exposed."
The Jayhawks will join 41 teams from the Midwest. The teams range from Big 12 opponents Kansas State and Oklahoma State, in-state foes Wichita State and Baker; and smaller colleges including Wentworth (Missouri)
Junior College, Lincoln (Missouri), Harding (Arkansas) and Missouri Southern.
Redwine said the team would continue to work toward major team goals such as attending the Big 12 Championships on Friday, Feb. 23, and Saturday, Feb. 24, in Lincoln, Neb., and the NCAA Championships on Friday, March 9 and Saturday, March 10, in Fayetteville, Ark.
"We have a goal to improve day by day and meet by meet," Redwine said. "Individually everyone wants to run their personal best and it would be great for our athletes to go to the Big 12 meet on a positive note."
Many of the Jayhawks plan to enter Lincoln, Neb., and Fayetteville, Ark., with flying colors. Senior All-American Scott Russell, juniors Charlie Gruber and Ryan Speers, and senior Andy Tate have all qualified automatically or provisionally for the NCAA Competition in Fayetteville. Redwine said he would not be surprised if more of his athletes qualified in one of the upcoming meets.
Jabari Wamble, who won both the 200-meter and 400-meter dashes and ran a leg on the winning 4x400-meter relay last weekend, may be the next one to punch his ticket to the NCAA Championships.
"As Jabari Wamble gets better, his times will get better, and there is a chance he will qualify for the NCAAs." Redwine said.
Redwine also said senior Andrea Branson had a solid chance of returning to the national competition this season.
"Branson has qualified for the NCAAs in the past, and it has been one of her goals again this season," Redwine said. "A lot of our athletes have the opportunity to qualify for NCAAs this season."

KANSAS TENNIS Tennis coach starts new season tomorrow
The Kansas women's tennis team will open its season with dual matches against Utah and Southwest Missouri State this weekend.
Former Jayhawk assistant Kilmeny Waterman will make her debut as the Kansas coach against Utah (1-2) at 11 a.m. tomorrow. The Jayhawks will then take on Southwest Missouri (0-2) at 11 a.m. on Sunday. Both matches are at Alvamar Racquet Club in Lawrence.

Indiana State seeks essential win for title
TERRE HAUTE, Ind. — The question hasn't changed in at least a year. Now, more than halfway through the Missouri Valley Conference schedule, everyone around the league still wonders whether anyone can catch Indiana State.
The defending champion Sycamores have only four conference road games left, and they've already won three of their first five away from Hulman Center. At home, they have won 16 straight conference games and 22 in a row overall.
Indiana State made an NCAA appearance last season, earning an at-large berth after winning the MVC regular-season title but losing to Creighton in the conference tournament.
The Sycamores look like front-runners to repeat, with an 8-2 conference record and 16-5 overall mark after Wednesday night's 80-64 victory against Southwest Missouri State. Kelyn Block scored 20 points, Menser had 17 points and Renn added 15 to the victory.
"I think it's too silly to talk about," he said. "I don't even know if those RPI guys have ordered their Ouija boards or not. The whole thing will be decided in the end by some guys who never got picked for a team in phys ed. So were not going to worry about it."
Unless Indiana State wins the conference tournament, however, an NCAA bid could depend on its Ratings Percentage Index, a selection process coach Royce Waltman is not fond of.

Royals keep McCarty, others in arbitration
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Dave McCarty and the Kansas City Royals agreed yesterday to a $1.6 million, two-year contract, avoiding an arbitration hearing that had been scheduled for Friday, Feb. 9.
McCarty, who made $252,000 last season, gets $750,000 this year and $650,000 in 2002.He set career highs last season with 12 homers, 53 RBI and a .278 average, playing mostly first base and the outfield. McCarty had asked for $1.1 million in arbitration and had been offered $725,000.
McCarty is the second Kansas City player to sign among the five who filed for arbitration last month. First baseman Mike Sweeney agreed Jan. 18 to a $13 million, two-year contract.
Catcher Gregg Zaun and pitchers Jeff Suppan and Brian Meadows are still in arbitration.

Buttercup, one of the Powerpuff Girls, fights for the attention of Halley Ross, Dodge City junior, Ross said she would continue buying Powerpuff Girls items, even if it meant she couldn't buy food for a while.

"It's a very escapist behavior," he said. "It's not for everybody, and I realize that, but it works for me."
Whether it's spending money on clothes or trips to the strip club, most KU students have something that sucks money out of their pockets
Haley Ross, Dodge City junior, estimated she had spent about $250 on her Powerpuff Girls collection, which includes clothing, dolls, key chains, tableware, posters, a jewelry box and more. She even has a tattoo of her favorite girl, the butt-kicking Buttercup.
store at the beginning of the semester. And it is not just limited to substance abuse. Even something as innocent as a cartoon can become an expensive addition to a student's life.
"They're damn cute," Ross said. "I look at their stuff and I'm like 'I am their biggest fan'."
Almost the only Powerpuff Girls items Ross has been able to hold off on buying were a waffle iron, sheets and a big, plush Powerpuff girls head.
"When I go to the store and look at everything, I always have to stand there and tell
myself 'I am 21-years old," Ross said. "But here's me in the kid section going 'Oh my god, that's the coolest shirt I've ever seen."
Still, Ross said she would only go so far
"I don't have a Powerpuff Girls car — which would cool — but I wouldn't do it," she said.
would be cool — but I wouldn't do it," she said. Ross said the good thing about her Powerpuff shopping sprees was that most Powerpuff Girls stuff was fairly cheap. Nonetheless, Ross said if she saw the ultimate Powerpuff Girls item to add to her collection, she would choose "her girls" before other things — even food.

If Cameron Hawk, Manhattan freshman, ever had to make more room for his CD collection, he would get rid of his bed before his CDs. As it is, Hawk's collection of more than 700 CDs — not to mention 100-some vinyls, several guitars, a keyboard and a drum set — make for a tight fit in his room, which is smaller than an average KU residence hall room.
"It's my life, it's what I do." Hawk said. "Everyone's got some kind of passion they pay attention to more than anything. This is mine, and it involves a lot of accessories."
But Hawk, who says listening to and playing music is his passion, said it was worth it.

Hawk said that he had been trying to cut down on his CD buying by listening to the hundreds of hours of music he already had in his collection.
"I'd do my best," he said, "Maybe coming out with a third-degree burns or something — but I wouldn't go too far to the extreme."
"I'd get a job if I needed money," Al said.
"And I'd always buy food first. You've got to eat — it's no fun getting high with nothing to munch on."
Though Hawk considers music to be a lifetime career and obsession, Ross and Al both think of their pleasures as just a normal part of being a college student.
Al feels the same as Hawk, saying he would never sell anything or go without food to get good weed and good beer.
Al said he knows that sooner or later the partying will have to stop, or at least decrease.
"As my responsibilities increase, certain things become not as feasible," he said. "But right now, I'm just enjoying college."

"Whatever money is left is party money," he said.
After tuition, books, food and bills, Al says his daily ritual of beer drinking and bud smoking is his biggest expense.
Al estimates he spends between $50 and $100 a week on his smoking and drinking pleasures — not including the additional money he spends at bars. Al said that although the price

Buttercup, one of the Power-puff Girls, fights for the attention of Haley Ross, Dodge City junior, Ross said she would continue buying Powerpuff Girls items, even if it meant she couldn't buy food for a while.

"It's a very escapist behavior," he said. "It's not for everybody, and I realize that, but it works for me."
Whether it's spending money on clothes or trips to the strip club, most KU students have something that sucks money out of their pockets
almost as quickly as a trip to the bookstore at the beginning of the semester. And it is not just limited to substance abuse. Even something as innocent as a cartoon can become an expensive addition to a student's life.
Haley Ross, Dodge City junior, estimated she had spent about $250 on her Powerpuff Girls collection, which includes clothing, dolls, key chains, tableware, posters, a jewelry box and more. She even has a tattoo of her favorite girl, the butt-kicking Buttercup.
Almost the only Powerpuff Girls items Ross has been able to hold off on buying were a waffle iron, sheets and a big, plush Powerpuff Girls head.
"They're damn cute," Ross said. "I look at their stuff and I'm like 'I am their biggest fan'"
"When I go to the store and look at everything, I always have to stand there and tell
myself 'I am 21-years old.' " Ross said. "But here's me in the kid section going 'look my god, that's the coolest shirt I've ever seen.'"
Still, Ross said she would only go so far.
"I don't have a Powerpuff Girls car — which would be cool — but I wouldn't do it," she said.

Ross said the good thing about her Powerpuff shopping sprees was that most Powerpuff Girls stuff was fairly cheap. Nonetheless, Ross said if she saw the ultimate Powerpuff Girls item to add to her collection, she would choose "her girls" before other things—even food.
"I'd dend for myself food-wise," she said. "Especially if it was something I've been looking at for a while."
Ross isn't the only KU student willing to make sacrifices to indulge her pleasures. Bill Staples, professor of sociology, said this was because of messages sent by society.

The fate of off-campus housing will be on the table again at tomorrow night's City Commission meeting.
Commissioner Erv Hodges said that while the commissioners would not vote on the ordinance until next week, commissioners would hear public input and the final ordinance would be drafted based on changes requested at the meeting.
"This meeting Tuesday is important," Hodges said.
The proposed ordinance would reduce from four to two the number of nonrelated individuals that could live together in residences zoned for single families.
Kyle Browning, liberal arts and science student senator and member of the
Delta Force coalition, said that Student Senate did not have a group organized to speak at tomorrow's meeting, but that senators would attend the meeting.
Browning said Delta Force would continue to oppose the housing ordinance.
"We're going to pass out literature about why the ordinance is wrong," Browning said. "We're going to be a general presence."
The commission first voted to keep the proposed ordinance alive and in the process of revision at its Dec. 12 meeting.
Hodges said this week's meeting would shape the ordinance.
"Based upon the input we receive, we will finalize an ordinance," Hodges said.
Hodges said it was likely the commission would vote to enact the ordinance at the third meeting. If the ordinance is approved, the public can attend either
What's happening? The Lawrence City Commission will meet at 6:35 p.m. tomorrow on the first level of City Hall, 6 E. Sixth St.

What it means: The commission will hear public input on a proposed ordinance limiting the number of nonrelated persons in single family residences to two.
What's next: The commission will not vote on the ordinance, but will consider public input when drafting the final ordinance.
of two readings of the ordinance.
By state law, the ordinance must be published twice. But Hodges said the readings held after the vote were a technicality for people who wanted to dispute the already-enacted law. Hodges said that citizens who wanted to speak about the ordinance should do
so at tomorrow's meeting.
Arly Allen, a member of the Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods, said the association didn't intend to have a large presence at the meeting because the group had already presented its argument in favor of the ordinance.
The group is concerned that neighborhoods zoned for single-family use are being undermined by a shortage of affordable housing, high rents charged for family homes, declining enrollment in central-city schools and increasing cost of taxes on homes in Lawrence, Allen said.
The association said that it was the responsibility of the University to provide housing for all students to help alleviate the housing problem.
Allen said tomorrow's meeting would deal with the same issues.

Casinos breed coins, conflict for tribes

From bingo to nickel slots to highstakes poker, gaming has become the most lucrative industry for Native Americans in Kansas and throughout the United States.

1996. Three more tribes have expressed interest in areas within 30 minutes of Kansas City, Kan.
The Delaware Tribe of Oklahoma had been looking into an 80 acre site north of Lawrence that would support a 660 million casino complex including a hotel, convention center and museum. However, local resistance persuaded the tribe to turn its efforts to Leavenworth County.
Casinos are bringing unprecedented revenues into tribal coffers that were nearly bare and sorely dependent on federal handouts. Reservations once nearly devoid of economic activity now have jobs and growing businesses.
But gaming operations also extol a price.
Tribal governments are able to provide their citizens with improved services, such as health care and education.
In some cases, tribal members have found themselves pitted against one another in conflicts about how the money will be used and who will control it. Allegations persist of misuse, money laudering and clandestine dealings.
Casinos come to Kansas
The Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas was the first to successfully lobby the state to negotiate a gaming compact.
In 1996, the Kickapoo opened the Golden Eagle Casino
on its reservation about 50 miles north of Topeka. The three other tribes with reservations in Kansas soon followed. The Prairie Band Potawatomi, Iowa, and Sac and Fox tribes opened Harrah's Prairie Band Casino, Casino White Cloud and Sac & Fox Casino respectively.
The allure of gaming dollars also has drawn tribes outside of Kansas wanting to get into the mix.
The Wyandotte Tribe of Oklahoma has plans to open a casino in Kansas City, Kan., and the Shawnee tribe of Oklahoma has declared interest in opening a casino in Overland Park.
Both of those tribes, along with the Delaware, have historical ties to the state that they claim could open the way to negotiating gaming compacts.
State officials, however, have indicated that four is
enough, and any new casino plans would face extensive legal and political obstacles.
Under the compacts, the Kansas State

Checkpoints curb drinking and driving
By Lauren Brandenburg

Kansas staff writer
The Douglas County Sheriff's Department arrested two people during Saturday night's sobriety checkpoint on Highway 59 near County Road 458 south of Lawrence.
Sheriff Rick Trapp said he was pleased that the majority of people were driving responsibly. His office will conduct five more checkpoints between now and October. The Kansas Department of Transportation just gave the department a grant totaling close to $6,000 to help with the costs of the checkpoints.
SLOW POLICE CHECK POINT AHEAD
Trapp said his department had not conducted a checkpoint in years, and he thought it was time to do so. He said the department arrested four or five people Thursday night and three or four Friday night on charges of impaired driving, and this concerned him.
"That shows that we have a serious problem here," he said. "I think
Trapp's office publicized the checkpoints, he said, because it was appropriate to do so according to previous court decisions. Legal questions have arisen in the past about checkpoints. Trapp said he had decided his office would publicize the checkpoints as a department procedure, which he said the Department of Transportation had recommended.
it's very high. It's certainly higher than we want in this county."
Trapp said he hoped the checkpoints and their publicity would spread the word about the seriousness of drinking and driving, which he said was the leading cause of death for people between 15 and 24 years old.
Although some people question whether police have the right to stop motorists who have shown no signs of breaking the law, John Liezerz, Topaka junior, said he was in favor of checkpoints.
"I think they're a good thing because we don't need drunk drivers out on the road," Liezwit said. "A thing that could potentially save a life is in everyone's best interest."

Hayley Rumback, Wichita junior, agreed that checkpoints were a good idea overall, but also said checkpoints might infringe on a person's rights in some circumstances.
"I think if they were more targeted and police were stopping everyone between the ages of 18 to 21 or something like that, I could see where it could be an issue." Rumback said. "But I haven't heard of that. I don't think it's a terrible infringement."
Liezert said he could understand why people might consider the checkpoints an inconvenience, but he said saving lives was more important.
Trapp had announced the checkpoint's time and location earlier in the week to try to keep drivers from being inconvenienced. Trapp said part of the reason he chose the location on Highway 59 was that people could be quickly stopped and moved through the checkpoint.
At the checkpoint, officers stopped 136 cars, said Lt. Kathy Tate. The cars moved through quickly. Once a car had stopped, officers introduced themselves, explained that the department was conducting a sobri-
ey checkpoint, asked if drivers had drank anything that evening, asked for their driver's license, asked if the address on the license was correct and then sent the drivers on their way.
"Basically what we're trying to do
is get impaired drivers," one deputy explained to a motorist at the checkpoint as he ended his conversation. "Here's a brochure on what we're doing. We're just asking you to be careful. Have a nice night."

Patrol keeps fieldhouse safe for fans and players
By Amanda Beglin
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For a few sweet minutes, Allen Fieldhouse is quiet.
Nearly three hours before the game starts, public safety officers are at the fieldhouse beginning their safety rituals.
But the fieldhouse employees aren't the only ones preparing to be inundated when the doors open for game day — the KU Public Safety Office is, too.
Basketball fans wait patiently outside, the fieldhouse walkways and seats are empty and the loudest noises are the concession stand employees wriggling plastic cups out of their bags.
Officers check the aisles between the seats for anything that may threaten the safety of the spectators.
Every trash can, closet, supply room and recycling station is checked for suspicious objects. Every locked door is tested with a knob turn, every bathroom is searched by an officer of the appropriate gender.
Sgt. Troy Mailen said the crowd was "generally pretty good with letting people through."
But problems sometimes arise, and the public safety officers' halftime assistance may have saved a man's life recently.
They also are responsible for assisting home and visiting basketball teams and officials to their locker rooms. Two officers walk with the officials, and officers line up in front of a roped walkway to protect the basketball players at halftime and nostgame.
Earlier this season, a man existing behind game officials at halftime had a heart attack and collapsed. Mailen said. One of the officers, an Emergency Medical Technician, attended to the man immediately.
"She began CPR until three more officers got to them, and he was revived," Malen said. "He was taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital. They had to shock him three times."
Mailen said the man had thanked the officers many times since the incident, and the man attended the next game, Mailen said.
So far, Mailen said, the basketball season had been relatively quiet.
"The last dangerous thing we really found was during the football season," Malen said. "There was a five-gallon gas can near the top of the stairs at the stadium, and it was full. There were kids running around near it, so we removed it."
Lt. Schuyler Bailey, event commander during home games, said most of the 28 officers patrolled the fieldhouse during the game. They are stationed throughout the seats, walkways and fieldhouse perimeters.
Bailey can oversee the whole process from his command post — a mobile police station parked near the south end of the fieldhouse — with the use of police radios, telephones and a television tuned to the game.
"I go where I'm needed, but I'm usually on the phone or radio at the command post," Bailey said.
Meanwhile, Mailen can be found behind a video camera near the top of the stands. Amid the Phog, he videotapes his officers interacting with the crowd. If a fight breaks out among the fans, Mailen records the incident in case the conduct of the officer or feisty fans is questioned later.
Mailen can eye the crowd with his camera. Recently, without taping the incident, he noticed a student shining a laser pointer at a visiting team's free-throw shooter, so he sent an officer to ask the student to stop.

Education school reveals third dean candidate
The School of Education announced its third dean candidate on Friday.
Angela Lumpkin, a professor of education at State University of West Georgia, is the third candidate. Two other candidates — Dianne Ashby and Jeny Bailey — were announced last week.
The three candidates will meet with students at room 720 in Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
Lumpkin was dean for the State University School of Education from 1996 to 2000 — a qualification that helped her nomination, said Susan Twombly, search committee chairwoman.
Ashby will meet students from 3:15 to 3:45 p.m. and again at 7:20 p.m. today. Bailey will meet students from 2:00 to 2:30 p.m. Thursday, and Lumpkin will meet students from 2:45 to 3:50 p.m. on Monday, Feb. 12.
At least two more candidates will be announced and a new dean should be named by July 1, Twombly said.

Bush to release plan for $1.6 trillion tax cut
WASHINGTON — After two weeks of warm-ups in which he pushed education and religious-based help plans, President George W. Bush is ready to launch the sales job for the centerpiece of his economic program — a sweeping $1.6 trillion, 10-year tax cut.
The White House has a full schedule of activities this week, starting today
when Bush was set to appear with a carefully selected group of American families — much like he did during the campaign — to illustrate the benefits of reducing individual tax rates.
He planned to meet tomorrow with small business owners and on Wednesday scheduled a White House reunion with his tax families from the campaign trail. The outlines of his tax program are to be formally sent Thursday to Congress.
One decision the administration is likely to make before sending the plan to Congress is whether to speed up the tax relief by making it retroactive to the first of this year as a way of fighting off a recession.
Delta, Continental meet to discuss merger plans
ATLANTA -- Delta Air Lines, the nation's third-largest carrier, and Continental Airlines reportedly have begun merger talks in which Continental would acquire the much larger Delta.
The discussions are "very informal" and "in the very early stage," an industry source told The Washington Post on condition of anonymity.
Neither Atlanta-based Delta nor Houston-based Continental, the fifth-largest carrier, would comment yesterday
Both Delta and Continental have said they preferred to stay independent but would consider a merger or some other alliance if competitors' mergers were approved.
A Continental-Delta merger would give the combined airline 26.7 percent of the passenger market. A merger of Delta and Northwest would capture 29.3 percent of the market.
Acquisition creates second-largest refinery
NEW YORK — Phillips Petroleum Co. has agreed to acquire Tosco Corp. for $7 billion in stock, creating the nation's second-largest oil refiner and one of the largest gasoline retailers.
The transaction was approved by the boards of both companies on Sunday and is expected to be completed by the third quarter of 2001.
Under terms of the deal, Phillips will assume approximately $2 billion in Tosco debt.
Tosco has 6,400 gas stations in 32 states, operating under the brands "76" and Circle K, the nation's No. 2 convenience store chain.
Phillips has about 5,900 gas stations, sold under the brand "Phillips 66," across the U.S. The company had $21.2 billion in revenues in 2000.
Water is suspected as cause of leukemia
FALLON, Nev. — Residents of a small farming and military town are
puzzled that 11 kids have become stricken with leukemia that some fear might have something to do with living in the self-proclaimed "Oasis of Nevada."
Acute lymphocytic leukemia is the most common childhood cancer, but still rare. Just 2,000 new cases are diagnosed a year in the United States.
Water is a common topic in Fallon; it has arsenic levels 10 times the federal standard and the city has been ordered to clean it up.
The state health department says it is a cluster, or perhaps a chance occurrence. The uncertainty has forced the state to ask for help from national experts.
Serbia could lose aid if it doesn't cooperate
WORLD
BELGRADE, Yugoslavia — Serbia's pro-democracy government may lose financial and political support from the United States unless it shows evidence of cooperation with the United Nations.
Prime Minister Zoran Djindjic said he was warned that failure to cooperate will mean the United States, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund, as well as other world bodies, could vote against Serbian interests.
The United States has earmarked $100 million for post-Milosevic Yugoslavia. The unused portion of that money will not be disbursed if Yugoslavia refuses to cooperate in the U.N. investigation into wartime atrocities during the 1989-99 crackdown on Kosovo Albanians, including Milosevic.

A KU student reported being harassed by phone in her third floor room of Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin Hall between 11:34 and 11:38 p.m. Wednesday, the KU Public Safety Office said.
A 19-year-old KU student was arrested early Friday for operating a vehicle under the influence of alcohol, minor in possession, and refusal of preliminary breath testing, the KU Public Safety Office said. An officer was patrolling near the Alumni Place parking lot at 1:58 a.m. when he found a student passed out in the passenger seat of his running car. After attempting to wake him by knocking on the window, the officer opened the door and shook him
awake, according to the police report. A 12-pack of beer was on the floor board of the passenger side; one can was open. The student refused a preliminary breath test. He was arrested and taken to the Douglas County Jail.
Two security cameras and an alarm system control panel were stolen between 6 p.m. Thursday and 4 a.m. Friday from a clubhouse at Jefferson Commons, Lawrence police said. The items were valued at $1,150.
A KU student's wallet, $23, checkbook, four checks, Social Security card, driver's license and KUID were stolen at 4:44 p.m. Friday from the 2500 block of Iowa Street, Lawrence police said. The items were valued at $46.

Poets set to seize spotlight
Matt Fowler, local poet, reads "O River," a poem that he said reminded poets not to get a big head. The poetry reading was sponsored by the Tabletop Poets Society yesterday afternoon at Borders, 700 New Hampshire St. Fowler, along with the Kaw Poets Society, recently released a CD entitled Kaw Kaw Kaw As the Poets Fly from Lawrence, Kansas.

I am very happy to be here. I hope you are also happy. And I will always be there for you.
Poetry is coming to life this week with three poetry readings scheduled around Lawrence.
Poetry fans will have a chance to watch an internationally renowned poet in action when Anne Waldman reads her work at the Spencer Rare Books Library on Tuesday. Amateur poets also will have a chance to share their work at open mic readings at local coffee houses.
Waldman, along with well-known poet Allen Ginsberg, founded the Jack Kerouac School of Disembodied Poetics at Naropa Institute in Boulder. Colo. In the 1960s, Waldman ran the St. Mark's Church Poetry Project in New York City. There she made a name for herself by giving exuberant, highly physical readings of her own work.
"She's immensely energetic," Irby said. "And her work is exciting and diverse."
Ken Irby, associate professor of English, said Waldman exemplified the world of poetry performance.
Matt Fowler, Lawrence resident, has been attending poetry "jams" for more than five years. He is a member of Kaw Poets Society, a group of 21 local poets that recently released a CD, Kaw Kaw Kaw as the Poets Fly from Lawrence, Kansas.
Fowler said poetry readings were a forum to express dramatic emotion and were more exciting than some might imagine.
"Some people have this image that poetry is dry and stuffy, but it doesn't have to be that way." Fowler said.
Mickey Argumedo, Lawrence sophomore and co-founder of Tabletop Poets Society, said poetry became more than words on paper when combined with live performance.
"It allows the poet to establish a personal connection with the audience," Argumedo said. "That helps generate a sense of community, which is good because it is a very personal art form."

Laura Odell, Lawrence sophmore, founded Tabletop Poets Society with Argumedo. Odell said people seeking a true poetry experience would benefit
"There are so many things you can't convey on paper," Odell said. "The best way to observe a piece of work is to actually see the poet."
Arumedo said poetry was an accessible medium of creativity for anyone, acclaimed or amateur.
"I view poetry as the purest form of personal expression," Argumedo said. "It's the only art form that can be done with a cocktail napkin."
Extension classes to be taught online

The University of Kansas Department of Continuing Education is extending its reach.
Two of the department's well-received "KU For Lawrence" courses will be made available online later this month. Masterpieces of World Literature: Reading Nobel Prize Winners and Learning the Kansas Landscape will be taught both in Lawrence and in cyberspace.
Although a small number of regular, for-credit courses had been taught online before, this was a first for the "KU For Lawrence" program, said Barbara Watkins, coordinator of curriculum and projects for the department.
"It's a way of extending the University," she said. "We hope to have more in the future."
Web sites will be set up for the two courses featuring presentations and audio recordings of class discussions, Watkins said. The classes will start the last week of February and continue for about a month.
The "KU For Lawrence" program began in the fall of 1999 and offers community members adapted versions of KU courses, taught by KU instructors. Although seven courses will be offered though the program this spring, the department chose to offer only two online.
The criteria were simple.
"We thought that these would perhaps be the most interesting to the widest audience," Watkins said. "So that's where we'd start."
Diane Fourry is the main instructor for the Nobel Prize course, which is also offered in a different form on campus as an interdisciplinary Western Civilization course, Nobel Laureates of World Literature.
Fourry said the online students could choose to take the course for one hour of graduate or undergraduate credit. Grades will be handled much as in a normal course, with assigned written work and telephone or online conferences with the instructor.
"We want to address the needs of people who live too far away to take the course here," she said.

supervises the Learning the Kansas Landscape course, which is not available for credit. He said he had designed the course to introduce Kansans to the history of their state's topography and development
"In a lot of respects, I kind of looked at it from what topics I wanted to hear about," Buchanan said. "They thought this was something that would have an awful lot of interest to folks around the state."
Watkins said she didn't yet know how popular the online courses would be, although the department would like to expand them in the future. The department is working with the Alumni Association to publicize the classes throughout the country.

Student groups could see cutbacks

Groups asking Student Senate for money may have to prepare themselves for some small cutbacks.
At the Senate meeting last week, Greg Wiley, Student Senate Executive Committee treasurer, told student senators that they might have to buckle down when it came to allocating money.
"Ultimately, I hope this will allow us to give money to more organizations," said Wiley, Westwood senior. "We don't want to give all our money to 10 different organizations and then not be able to give any money to five more that come along after."
Right now there is $26,309 in the Senate unallocated account, which contains money that is granted to student organizations. Senate already has allocated more than 60 percent of the original $66,661 in the account.
this semester, we could always pull it out of the reserve account," Wiley said.
At this time last year, the account had a $6,531 balance and Senate had only distributed 35 percent of money in the unallocated budget for the year.
Some of the bigger amounts allocated last semester include $5,230 to the Black Student Union, $5,105 to the Concrete Canoe Club and $3,255 to the Center for Community Outreach.
Despite cutbacks, Wiley said he did not think organizations asking for money should be worried.
This semester, the Pakistani Cultural Club will ask Senate for money. Saira Sufi, club treasurer and Topeka senior, said she wasn't
"We're going to look at it on a case-by-case basis," Wiley said. "We're not going to make a planket statement by saying. We're going to give you 75 percent of what you asked for."
Wiley said one reason Senate granted so much money last semester was that a large number of organizations needed money for special speakers and events.
worried about cuts.
"I'm pretty sure it'll go through fine," Sui said. "I think for a multicultural organization like this, it won't be a problem. We also have a great group of people working for us."
Lisa Braun, Finance Committee chairwoman, said she also thought the allocation process would remain the same.
"To be quite honest, we go into the year thinking we'll go over budget," Braun said. "We have the money to give to the organizations, not to keep, and we're going to continue to do that."
Braun, Deerfield senior, said she thought the Finance Committee did a good job last semester when it came to allocating money. She said she expected the same this semester.
"I don't think there was anything wrong with the way last semester went," Braun said. "And I think this semester everyone is a little more relaxed with what their jobs are and what questions to ask."

Preservation crucial to our nation's future
Last November, I voted for Ralph Nader, mostly because I liked what he had to say about the environment. Knowing
mostly because I liked what he had to say about the environment. Knowing that neither of the two major candidates represented my views, knowing that to a greater or lesser extent, I would have to suffer through the following four years, before the election I played it cool, trying to remain as casual and disinterested as possible.
And for a while after the election, I managed to uphold this front. But then I started to pay attention to Bush's Cabinet appointments — Christie Whitman at the Environmental Protection Agency, John Ashcroft for Attorney General — and the fear lurking in the recesses of my mind gradually started to impinge my daily thoughts.
I don't know if you paid attention to
Citlnton's last days in office, but I did, and the way that he set about effecting laws to preserve our country's natural heritage scared me. Despite their rather routine, matter-of-fact presentation to the news media, these initiatives seem fraught with a deep, underlying sense of foreboding, an apprehension reflective of Clinton's rightful concern for what might happen to unprotected lands under the Bush administration.
FATHOULAMANI
The New York Times reported Jan.10 that Mike Dornbeck, U.S. Forest Service chief, had introduced policies to reduce by 20 percent the amount of old-growth national forest land up for public auction during the coming year, effectively setting aside vast tracts of virgin forest, making them temporarily unavailable to the timber industry.
Matthew
Reeck
guest columnist
opinion@kansan.com
In the Jan. 14 edition, Bush stated his fervent opposition to such policies, expressing his desire to overturn as many as possible of these last-ditch efforts of the Clinton administration to protect our national lands. Bush says that these motions do not serve our national interests.
When a politician uses the words "national interest," I immediately become suspicious. The phrase calls to mind impregnable integrity, for no one would choose to act against our national interests. But the phrase is irksome vague. What exactly does Bush mean when he says that the preservation of old-growth forests does not fit into our national interests? If not this, then what does Bush include in our national interests, and whom exactly has he consulted in coming up with this opinion?
The United States is a remarkable country for many reasons, and one of these reasons would have to be our tremendous natural heritage. Yet to say "natural heritage" perhaps gives us too much credit. The vast majority of us have done little to deserve this gift.
Who benefits from the destruction of one of our country's greatest living treasures, our old-growth forests? The timber industry says that the quality of lumber from old-growth trees surpasses that of smaller, more common trees. But I wonder, if you realized that you had to choose between cutting down several hundred-year-old firs in the Pacific Northwest or reducing your consumption of wood-based products, which would you choose?
These trees do not belong to us, and one of their primary values comes in reminding us of that fact, in reminding us that we are born and we die, and yet the cycles of the natural world continue uninterrupted.
Bush's attitude toward the environment seems adolescent. In The Sibling Society, poet Robert Bly took the U.S. to task for living in perennial adolescence. He said that our adult citizens no longer act with social responsibility. However, I like to think that what mistakes we've made in the past were because of ignorance, that if we had had all the facts before us, we would have chosen differently.
We must stop now to consider our rates of energy consumption, how we consume more energy than any other country in the world. We must admit that our extravagant use of our energy resources cannot continue. We must re-evaluate the values that we want the world to recognize as American. I hope the Bush administration comes to see how the preservation, not the exploitation, of our nation's lands serves our best interests.

Bush's missile defense fosters fuzzy deterrence
For the last 40 years, politicians on Capitol Hill, including Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, have chased an elusive dream called National Missile Defense. If it worked, it would protect America from all incoming ballistic missiles. We could then pursue freedom and democracy safely and securely, snug behind our super shield.
There is only one problem with this dream — it's stupid. Even if you believe every point that Nielsen made,
National Missile Defense proponents make, it's still a waste of money.
YOUNG MAN
Let's assume that missile defense works as well as it's supposed to (it doesn't), that it can't be fooled (it can) and that it won't disrupt relations with Russia (it will). Let us further assume that China, North Korea, and Iraq are developing nuclear arsenals that can reach the continental United States. How would a defense system affect U.S. diplomatic efforts in the event of an international conflict?
Proponents assert that because the United States would be protected from the missiles of our enemies, their nuclear arsenals would no longer deter us in our quest to aid our allies. However, assume that our adversary has 40 missiles and our system works 90 percent of the time. If an adversary strikes, 10 percent of its missiles will still get through, or, put another way, four urban centers will be obliterated.
Robert Chamberlain
columnist
quoin@kaasan.com
The misguided assumption that proponents make is that there is a correlation between number of missiles and level of deterrence. The position that one can simply add the number of missiles and decide who has the "stronger diplomacy" is based on that assumption. In actuality, no president will ever be able to accept the destruction of a major U.S. city for anything but the most critical of foreign policy goals (i.e. to protect the U.S. or Western Europe from invasion). Thus, to have diplomacy with impunity, our missile defense would have to be able to destroy every incoming missile.
This is still possible, but it requires that most of an adversary's missiles be destroyed on the ground before they launch. Unfortunately, most ballistic missiles are stored in silos that are impervious to conventional weapons. So for our system to be effective, we will have to launch a massive pre-emptive nuclear strike to cripple the enemy's retaliatory capability. Thus, although it is called National Missile Defense, it is actually only useful as a first-strike weapon. This is massively destabilizing in a crisis situation because both parties believe that they must shoot first in order to achieve their goals. Therefore, their propensity to strike increases dramatically.
So how do we avoid a nuclear holocaust if we can't shoot down incoming missiles? We convince our adversaries never to launch. Just as we are deterred by the potential destruction of our cities, so too are our adversaries deterred by the potential destruction of theirs. The cost of the strike is so much that it no longer is worth whatever benefit it might have achieved.
Where technological solutions failed, deterrence prevailed. So rather than waste billions of dollars on "fuzzy deterrence," President Bush should renounce his intention to build the defense system and rely instead on our stockpiles. To do so is fiscally prudent, militarily effective and politically astute. To do otherwise is just downright stupid.
Perhaps the best example is the Gulf War. Saddam Hussein had huge stockpiles of chemical and biological weapons. However, he chose not to use them because he assumed that the U.S. would destroy Baghdad if he did.

Ordinance could punish dogs unfairly
The law's language could lead to penalties dogs and owners don't deserve.
Lawrence enforced its new dangerous dog ordinance for the first time on Jan.16.
Five residents whose dogs were deemed "dangerous" were ordered to either register and confine their dogs, give the dogs away to someone outside city limits, or have the animals put to sleep. Failure to comply with these orders could result in jail time for the owner.
The ordinance was passed in July 1999 to rid the city of dogs with a history of violence.
While this ordinance is appropriate in that it holds owners accountable for the actions of their dogs, the ordinance's ambiguous wording raises concerns about unjustly punishing relatively nonviolent dogs and their owners. The ordinance defines a dangerous dog as one that "threatens or attacks the safety of human beings or domestic animals." This definition is vague and could possibly be improperly applied to a variety of situations.
Although the disciplinary measures prescribed by the ordinance may be justified for dogs that commit unprovoked acts of violence against humans, they are too severe to enforce on a dog that gets in a single spat with another dog. Dogs are territorial by nature, and they instinctively defend their territory. Although owners should make every effort to prevent dog fighting, sometimes such situations are unavoidable.
Perhaps fining the owner would be a more appropriate measure in the case of many dog flights.
The dangerous dog ordinance needs more specific criteria on which to judge whether a dog truly is extraordinarily inclined to violence. Isolated complaints should be judged on an individual basis, and the responding police officer should have more power to determine whether the situation is serious enough to deem one or more dogs "dangerous."
Responsible pet owners should not be forced to choose between caging, killing, or giving away their dogs because of a single incident of violence between two animals.

Ambassadors give help to international students
By Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The University of Kansas spreads its name globally with the help of international student ambassadors.
"We help make KU more visible outside of this country," said Moussa Sissoko, a Mali graduate student and ambassador.
The group offers students opportunities to gain leadership skills and interact with others through service. This volunteer group of about 20 students is open to international and domestic students, said Sandy Gault, faculty adviser and associate director of international admissions.
Those interested can pick up an application at the International Admissions Office in Strong Hall.
"They pick the best and brightest for student ambassadors," Gault said. "Students must have charisma and leadership abilities."
While at the University, ambassadors help other international students adjust to their new setting and work during orientation and in the office.
Marisa Moreno, Wichita senior and ambassador, said she enjoyed the activities during the spring semester orientation for new international students. A group dinner gave her a chance to meet many international students from a variety of countries.
While Moreno said she learned about the international students, she also answered questions for them about their upcoming semester.
She said she had kept in contact with many of the students, in part because of her office hours.
"They are coming to a completely different country," Moreno said. "Whatever we can do to help ease them into this new experience, we will."
Ambassadors also assist in the

college decision process for international students. They send out postcards to prospective students after they apply to the University.
After student ambassadors from other countries graduate from the University, they maintain an active role in recruiting students.
They conduct meetings in high schools and universities, sharing information about the University with potential students. Ambassadors also seek students interested in studying
abroad, Sissoko said.
But Moreno said domestic student ambassadors could still play an active role in promoting the University abroad.
"Right after I graduate I plan to go to Japan for a year to teach English," Moreno said. "I can talk to people about KU there. I am thinking about joining the Peace Corps after I go to Japan."
Gault said the organization wanted to expand its services in the future.
The students are creating a user-friendly Web site for international students.
They also plan to lead a forum for all international high school students in the state, giving them an opportunity to think about the University of Kansas as a college choice.
"They learn about the American style of leadership, which could be different than their own country's," Gault said. "They learn to work with on-going projects."

Revenues, tensions rise on reservations
Continued from page 1A
state gaming agency's $1.4 million budget, regardless of the size of the gaming operation.
No additional fees or taxes are assessed by the state on Native-American gaming operations.
Tracy Diel, director of the state gaming agency, said that all four operations were making some money but that the amount varied by the size of the casino. Under the compacts, tribal casino revenues are not public information.
Revenue on the Reservation
Just four years since the Golden Eagle Casino opened with 333 betting machines in a reconstituted gym, the enterprise now brings in between 2,000 and 3,000 people on any given day, said Dan Stromer, general manager of the casino.
About a year after opening, the operation doubled in size by building on to its old structure. It now boasts 750 slot machines, 16 table games and six poker tables. Gamblers can try their luck 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.
The Kickapoo reservation is about 30 square miles, and approximately half of the Kickapoo's 1,600 enrolled members live either on the reservation or in the surrounding communities.
Nancy Bear, Kickapoo chairwoman, said casino revenues had been a boon for the tribe.
Road improvements, scholarships, new buses for the Kickapoo school, increased heath care, a Kickapoo language program — the list of casino-backed projects and services goes on.
Though the casino revenues are not public record, in 1998 a dissident group within the tribe revealed that the casino turned a $6.4 million profit the previous year.
"I think the majority of people are probably glad the casino is here and glad to see the revenue coming to the tribe," Bear said. "A lot of people on the reservation have benefited from the additional services and some of these revenue projects."
In addition to providing money for services, casino revenues have also been used to develop other economic resources. In October of 1999, the tribe opened a truck plaza about 45 miles north of Topeka on U.S. 75 in a deal with Texaco.
The tribe's sovereign status exempts is from the state tax on fuel, which is 20 cents for gasoline and 22 cents for diesel.
Bear said the most obvious sign of the casino's effects was the number of jobs that had been created in the area, for both Kickapoo and non Kickapoo.

The Golden Eagle Casino employs about 370 people,15 percent of whom are Kickapoo tribal members. Bear said many other jobs had been created for tribal members in areas such as the administration office.The casino does have preferential hiring for Kickapoo members.
Dissent
GOLDEN EAGLE CASINO
While the Golden Eagle Casino has brought a degree of prosperity to the Kickapoo, it also has brought its share of rancor and legal and political conflicts.
Opposition to the gaming operation is headed by former tribal council members Steve Cadue, James Cisneros and Thelma Simon. Cadue, who lives in Lawrence, and Simon, of Horton, have sued, claiming wrongful removal from the tribal council. Cisneros, of Holton, filed a lawsuit alleging he was wrongfully removed from the tribal gaming commission.
The Golden Eagle Casino, located about 50 miles north of Topeka, was opened in 1996 by the Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas. Bringing in 2,000 to 3,000 people daily, the 55,000 square feet operation buests 750 slot machines, 16 table games and six poker tables. Photo by Thad Allender/KANSAN
Cisneros said that many tribal members had concerns about the gaming operation.
"You get a tribal council that is so deep into possible wrongdoing that they influence the operation of the casino, the gaming commission, the tribal courts," he said.
Shortly after he was hired onto the gaming commission in October of 1998, Cisneros said he began investigating rumors he had heard about the operation.
"People walking into the money room, the account room and walking out with silver briefcases full of money," he said were some of the allegations. "Possibly the accounts not being totally accurate. Monies were flowing from the casino down to the tribal council and no documentation."
Cisneros said the tribal council terminated him after he inquired into some of these allegations.
Diel, of the state gaming agency, said Cisneros' allegations highlighted one problem with the arrangement of tribal gaming.
"There needs to be some insulation between those who regulate and those who own the facility to allow regulators to do what they are supposed to do," he said.
The state gaming agency only regulates the daily operations of the casino, Diel said. Once the money goes to the tribe, the state has no oversight role.
Bear said the allegations of mishandling and misuse of funds were a smokescreen. She said the tribal council strictly budgeted the money and any excess revenues were voted on by the tribal council. She calls the allegations "sour grapes."
Kyle Naybeck, director of congressional and public affairs for the NIGC, said the commission had reviewed the complaints regarding the Kickapoo operation and that all
Cadue, Cisneros and Simon have appealed to the National Indian Gaming Commission to investigate possible improprieties.
"It's very, very simple," she said. "These people did not come to work. They did not do their jobs. They were removed from the tribal council for those very things."
the issues were resolved as far as the NIGC was concerned.
Cadue said the agency hadn't performed its duty.
"I think that they are very reluctant to admit that there are these illegal activities going on," he said. "They know they were negligent and dropped the ball in the case of the Kickapoo."
Raising the stakes
Bear said the majority of the tribe was ready to move past the conflicts.
Investigations and audits have turned up nothing, she said, and current tribal council members have had their legitimacy upheld by recent elections. Cadue, Cisneros and Simon were all unsuccessful in October elections.
"I think it's very clear that the people have spoken, that the people are tired of all this nonsense, this political fighting," she said. "We need to face those bigger issues."
Bigger issues include the future of the Kickapoo's Golden Eagle Casino. The tribe's biggest concern is the amount of competition in northeast Kansas, and it doesn't plan to rest on its current success.
Whether northeast Kansas can continue to support four casinos is still in doubt. Donald Fixico, director of the Indigenous Nations Studies Program at the University, said there was a general misconception that all American Indian casinos were successful.
"There's kind of a gilded edge about all of these Indian gaming operations," he said. "A lot of them are planned, put into practice, and they don't work. You don't read about the failures in America, you only read about the successes."
The compacts each tribe has with the state extend into perpetuity, so as long as the tribes continue to make money the casinos will stay
"The reality is that all four casinos are making some money," Diel

1987 --- Supreme court confirms Florida court's ruling and extends it to include casino operations.
1988 — Congress passes Indian Gaming Regulatory Act, which establishes comprehensive system for online gambling on Native American lands.
1996 — Kickapoo Tribe of Kansas opens first casino in state. Three more soon follow.

said. "Each tribe has to decide whether they are making enough to justify their investment."
Diel said he didn't think that northeast Kansas could support four big casinos, but that if each tribe recognized its niche they could all survive.
"It's going to be tough," he said. "It depends on what the different tribes want their businesses to be."

Other Jayhawks who placed near the top on Friday were senior Andy Tate (4:09.25, second in the mile run), junior Brian Blachly (2:26.17, second in the 1,000-meter run), junior Jeremy Hull (16/34 feet and second in the pole vault) and sophomore Benaud Shirey (46/83 four, third in the triple jump).
In the women's competition, senior All-American Andrea Branson won the pole-vault event for the third
consecutive week with an 11-11 3/4 foot effort. Branson, who hopes to return to the NCAA competition this season, said her main goal was to clear the height of 13 feet.
"I'm working towards longer runs," Branson said.
"But with consistent practices, I will be able to work towards better runs."
Senior Sherre-Khan Blackmon placed second (57.67 sec.) in the 400 meter-dash, an event she uses as practice for the 600-meter dash.
"Since the meet is at home, I was just trying to put it all out there and get a better time," Blackman said.
The following finished within the top three of their events; junior Jennifer Foster in the shot put event with a 46-5 1/2 toss; senior Jennie Wonder in the 60-meter hurdles: sophomore Brandi Taylor, triple jump; senior Amanda Reves, 600 yards; freshman Stacy Keller, 400 meter-dash; sophomore Robbie Harriford, 60 meter-dash; junior Shanetta March, 200 meter dash and freshman Jenaya Carmen, high jump.
Redwine said he was optimistic about the team's development during the last meet.
"We have a meet next week end and I think the athletes feel as if they are running well," Redwine said, "Everyone seems to have a positive attitude and our goal is to be competitive at the conference meet."

Women grab upset victory against Texas
KANSAN.COM/SPORTS
By Jessie Meyer

Kansas sportswriter
AUSTIN, Texas — The Jayhawks, playing with nothing to lose and pride to regain, upset No. 21 Texas Saturday in a game that brought to life a team that has been dormant for the past month.
"For us, it was a great game to win, particularly on the road and especially because we've had our challenges this year," said Kansas coach Marian Washington.
In the midst of the challenges, the Jayhawks (9-11 overall and 3-6 in the Big 12 Conference) were not supposed to win - they weren't even supposed to be in the game.

seconds into the game at the Erwin Center — a lead they never relinquished.
Washington said the Jayhawks didn't play their best game of the season, turning over the ball 20 times and giving the Longhorns several second-chances on the offensive boards.
Texas (16-7 and 4-5) relied heavily on rebounding and three-point baskets to stay close in the second half after shooting a devastating 26.5 percent (nine-of-34) from the field in the first half.
While the Longhorns struggled, Kansas shot a blazing 58.3 percent from the field in the second half and 52 percent for the game.
Kansas has struggled to find scorers all season, trying to get players other than seniors Jaclyn Johnson Jennifer Jackson and Reves, who led all scorers with 22 and rebounders with 14, to step up and carry some of the load.
But Saturday, juniors Selena Scott and KC Hilgenkamp ignited and proved to be offensive threats, adding a combined 22 points to Reves' fourth double-double of the season.
"To have players like Selena step up and to have KC continue to improve, it really gives us a chance to stay in some ball games." Washington said.
Despite the barrage of baskets the Jayhawks knocked down, Washington said it was their defense that kept the Longhorns out of the game.
"We stuck to the game plan a little bit better," Jackson said. "And for the most part we did a 180-degree turn around from our rebounding performance against Nebraska, and I think that was the difference tonight." Game notes
- Revs needs five more points and Jackson needs 20 more points to become only the 16th and 17th players in Kansas history to score 1,000 points.

'Hawks in Cyclones' path
Game could affect Big 12's outcome

Kansan sportswriter
Last week's ESPN Big Monday was big, but this one may be even bigger for No. 3 Kansas when No. 15 Iowa State visits Allen Fieldhouse at 8 tonight.
The Jayhawks will be trying to redeem themselves in front of a national audience who saw them fall to rival Missouri 75-66 last week on ESPN. Kansas is hot off a win against Texas Saturday, so confidence is running high, said senior forward Kenny Gregory.
Gregory said this game was especially important because of its implications in the Big 12 Conference race. The Jayhawks (18-2) are the conference's top dogs at 7-1 in the Big 12, but the Cyclones (19-3) are right behind at 7-2 in conference play.
"They've beaten us three times in a row, so it's a big challenge," Gregory said. "They're right behind us in the standings, so it's a big game for us. We'll just have to try to shut down everybody."
That begins with Jamaal Tinsley, the Cyclones' senior point guard. Tinsley was the preseason conference player of the year and scored a career-high 26 points in Saturday's
win against Kansas State in Ames, Iowa. Some media outlets even listed him as a preseason All-American. And the accolades are well-deserved, said Kansas coach Roy Williams.
"Jamal Tinsley is the best point guard in the Biz 12." Williams said.
The match-up between Tinsley and Kansas' sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich may be the most anticipated duel in tonight's contest.
"He's a great player, and he's getting a lot of publicity, deservedly so," Hinrich said. "It's going to be a big game, but every game from here on out is going to be a big game."
Together, Jake Sullivan and Kantrail Horton average 23 points per game for Iowa State, and both shoot well above 40 percent from beyond the three-point arc.
The Jayhawks have a tandem that is equally dangerous from outside. Junior point guard Jeff Boschee has hit multiple threes in each of the last seven games, including nailing four of six treys against Texas on Saturday. Hinrich, meanwhile, leads the Big 12 in long-range accuracy.
Post players Paul Shirley and Martin Rancik give the Cyclones 24 points per game inside and will try to challenge Kansas' inside combination of senior Eric Chenowith and sophomores Nick Collison and Drew Gooden. Gooden tallied his ninth double-double of the season Saturday, while Collision chipped in 14 points and two blocked shots. Chenowith also had possibly his best all-around game in a month when he scored eight points, grabbed
14 rebounds and blocked four shots.
Gregory said this week's games would be crucial to Kansas' conference title hopes, and he was expecting big things from the Jayhawks tonight and again Saturday when Oklahoma State comes to town.
"It's huge," Gregory said. "If we can come out an protect our home court for these next couple games we'll separate ourselves from everyone else."

A hot-shooting second half brought Allen Fieldhouse to a simmer, but it was Roy Williams who made the building boil as No. 3 Kansas smoked Texas 82-66 on Saturday.
Texas' Chris Owens drove past Drew Gooden and drew a foul from the sophomore, enraging Williams. The coach yelled at Gooden and flung his sports coat six rows into the stands — resulting in a technical foul, his first at Allen Fieldhouse since 1992.
"It's the weirdest thing I've ever been involved in," Williams said. "I have zero
Darren Kelly made both free-throws from the technical foul to make the score 65-55, but the Jayhawks were fired up from their coach's outburst. It translated into an 8-1 run during the next two minutes, sparked by Jeff Boschee's fourth three-pointer of the game. Texas never came close again.
complaints about the call. It was very frustrating for me because I never want to do something stupid that would hurt our kids. That had a chance to be that kind of mistake."
It wasn't.

the first half, thanks to a 39 percent field goal mark. But the Jayhawks heated up in the second half and made 57.7 percent of their shots.
Kansas even beat Texas at its own game.
The Longhorns, who have a reputation as one of the more physical teams in the Big 12, were physically beaten up by a Kansas team that had been labeled as "soft" in recent years.
"We're definitely more physical than the last two
years," said Kansas forward Kenny Gregory. "We had a 'soft' label the past two seasons and at times I thought it was true. This year, we're not consistently physical, but at stretches we do show a lot of toughness and just try to battle more than we have in the past couple seasons."
In the Jayhawks' first trip in the court they showed their tough attitude. Senior center Eric Chenowith powered to the basket, missed and got his own rebound. His second shot failed, but Gregory was there for the nut-back.
Moments later, sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich lobbed an alley-oop pass to

New league delivers both hits, misses
Just when you thought it was safe to throw out that extra Super Bowl cheese dip, the XFL gives you reason to reheat it in An April for the new league's title game.
Obviously, that dip won't keep for four months, and history shows the XFL won't either, as many professional football leagues not named the NFL have struggled to stay afloat. But league founder Vince McMahon could change the trend, as Saturday's ratings were double NBC's predictions.
So is this new league worth watching? Maybe.
If one enjoys seeing former Jayhawks play football, then the new league is worth watching. Christian Maumalanga, known as Chris during his Kansas days, plays for the New York/New Jersey Hitmen. Maumalanga played on the Jayhawks' 1992 Aloha Bowl team. Fittingly, he said aloha to Las Vegas Outlaws quarterback Charles Puleri in the opening minutes of Saturday's game. On the second play from scrimmage, Maumalanga came off sides and leveled Puleri.
Hey, that wasn't in the script!
Hey, what didn't in the script.
Oh, my apologies, this isn't McMahon's WWF. Although former professional wrestlers Jerry "the King" Lawler and Jesse Ventura are commentators, the plays are real.
Other Jayhawks in this new brand of football include Michael Lies (Birmingham) and Dorian Brew (Chicago), although Brew's college is Auburn, according to www.xfl.com. Other locals include Emporia State alum and Paola native Brian Shay, and 1994 Heisman winner Rashaan Salaam. OK, so a local flavor, although faint, is a plus for the new league.
The coin toss. It's nonexistent. Instead, one player from each team makes a 20-yard dash towards a football — whoever gains possession of the ball earns the choice to kick or receive, as well as possession of the ball in overtime, should it occur. Thumbs up on this rule, as well as the no-point-after-touchdown kicks. Although the NFL doesn't need to make a rule change, it works for the XFL, as does the no-fair-catch rule.
■ Salaries. Quarterbucks earn $5,000 a game, kickers $3,500, and all others $4,500. Thumbs up to this aspect too — some professional athletes aren't money hungry, but it's a safe bet that arbitration for overpaid agents and players is not a question.
Cheerleaders. People complain that the XFL version of the rah-rah-sis-boombahers are ridiculously underdressed. When XFL cheerleaders perform dances, their close proximity to middle-aged men in the crowd might resemble another venue. But aside from that, NFCL cheerleaders use about the same amount of material to make their uniforms. If I call XFL cheerleaders a plus, I'm labeled a sexist. If I say they're not, I'm not manly. With that in mind, we'll call this one a draw.
Now for the reasons to shut down operations:
That new camera angle behind the huddle isn't natural. The NFL it's not, but it doesn't have to be completely different from mainstream football.
Team introductions. The players introduce themselves. Some players had stage fright, while another thought he was the next Randy Moss because he played at Northern Iowa. Ixnay on the talking layerspav.
Insert message here. Players have the option of putting any name or phrase on the back of their jerseys. One Las Vegas player who wore the phrase "He Hate Me" later explained it as "He" being the opposing team. Yeah, that's great.
It's surprising that the XFL wasn't spawned on FOX, the brilliant network that brought you such quality shows as, um, Who Wants to Marry a Multi-millionaire and Temptation Island. Instead, NBC is home to this diamond in the rough, along with UPN and TNN.
The idea of guys playing football because they love the game is admirable, but the extra bells and whistles could be the XFL's demise. Tune in and see what happens. It will never overtake the NFL, but it might be enjoyable.
Just don't break out the Pay-Per-View Mr. McMahon.

Monday February 5,2001
HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 5). Work is your bane and your boon this year. You're paying dues because the experience you gain is more valuable than the money you earn. By February you should have the job scoped out. In March, you're apt to make communication mistakes. Be careful. You may achieve a new level of understanding in April and possibly a new relationship. In May, you win by knowing the rules. In June, you can afford to be more lax. Make sure you're on the right path in July. Plan a romantic trip for two in October. Push your career in November. Friends surprise you in December, and you love it.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6. Put off launching a new project. Success will come more easily if you do more research and get more rest before you begin.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7.
To access big money, you must get the job to match your talent and develop the talent to do the job. Give it one more try.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 5.
The good news is the money's coming in. The bad
news is you don't have enough in savings. Make
saving your top priority.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
A change in your work situation could give you more responsibility. This is no accident. You've been the kind of person who should have more responsibility. Relax and enjoy it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
There's apt to be confusion concerning money you share with somebody else. Decide how you want to handle it before you discuss it with the other person. You look smarter and more in control.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 7.
No matter how bad you've had it, you know others have it worse. Get involved. Not only can you help them feel better, they can help you feel better, too.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 5.
You want to stay home and play with your sweet heart, but you're expected somewhere else. You could be tested. Watch out for trick questions, and get there on time.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 7.
People depend on you, so getting away is not easy. Your sweetheart may not be able to drop everything, either. Be patient until you can book a cabin on that luxury cruise ship.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
You're trying, but can you figure things out in time? A risk based on faith might require praying rather than reasoned planning. Maybe you should do both.
Capricorn (Dec, 22-Jan, 19) — Today is a 6.
Hold on to your life savings. Only back a dream if you've known the other person for a long time, and if you participate in the development. In other words, only back a dream if it's your own.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
You might be taking the wrong approach to a problem at work. You need compassion, not computation. It's an emotional problem, not a mental or mechanical one.
C
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7.
Think things over carefully before you speak, but don't get too critical. You may feel you didn't do something right, but the people who matter the most don't notice. Don't worry about it.

Echagaray and Magallan were upened in a three-set decision, as UCLA's Jean-Noel Ginda and Jean-Julien Royer captured the title with a 6-7 (3), 6-4, 6-3 victory.
Echagaray and Magallan upset the No. 10 and No. 3 doubles teams in the nation before losing in the consolation bracket finals.
Echagaray and Magallan will lead the full Kansas team in its next action, a doubleheader against Indiana and Butler on Saturday in Bloomington, Ind.
Women's tennis team goes 1-1 for weekend
Kansas women's tennis coach Kilmeny Waterman went 1-1 in her first weekend at the Jawhawk helm.
Kansas captured a 7-0 victory against Utah in its season-opener on Saturday afternoon, but lost to Southwest Missouri State 4-3 yesterday at Alvamar Racquet Club.
The Jayhawks (1-1) swept all six singles slots against Utah, including four straight-set victories. Kansas also took two of three doubles matches against the Utes (1-3) to earn the doubles point.
Senior Monica Sekulov led the way at No. 1 singles, defeating Irina Kotoglou, 6-2, 6-0.
Cheryl Mallaiah defeated Utah's Linn Ronnberg at the second singles slot, 6-3, 4-6, 6-1, with sister Lisa Mallaiah earning a 6-4, 6-1 decision against Frida Kareld at No. 4 singles.
SCORPIO
"It could have been difficult with three freshmen making their debut, but for us to win in that fashion in our first match is very positive," Waterman said.
Yesterday, Kansas senior Monica Sekulov and junior Lisa Miaailaich won their singles matches, with Kansas sweeping the doubles competition. But Southwest Missouri State won four of six singles matches to take home the win.
The Kansas women's team will play host to the five-tate Jawhayk Classic on Friday, Saturday and Sunday at Alvamar.
Swim and dive teams swept by Iowa state
SWIMMING
The Kansas men's and women's swimming and diving squads were swept by their respective Iowa State counterparts in the final dual meet of the regular season Saturday afternoon in Robinson Natatorium.
The women's team, now 3-5 on the year, was able to keep it close throughout much of the meet, but fell to the Cyclones, 157-143. The Kansas men's squad was outscored 174.5-123.5, dropping the Jayhawks to 0-6.
On the women's side, many Jayhawks shined despite the loss. Jayhawk freestyle sprinters performed well, sweeping the 50, 100- and 200-vard free events.
Note: Horoscopes have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
"We just lost too many close races, and Iowa State came in here and swam very fast today," said Kansas women's head coach Cathy Burress.
Carrie Kirkham continued her fine season by taking the 50 race in 24.24, and senior Carolyn Grevers, in the final home meet at Kansas, captured the 100 in 52.49. Kim Waite also won the 200 with a season-best 1:52.90.
In the men's competition, the Jayhawk contingent was once again led by sophomore freestyler Brian Soria, who won a pair of events in breathtaking fashion.
Soria first captured the 1,000 free by just .08 seconds, finishing in 9:30.57, just ahead of Iowa State's Josh Nogar. Soria and Nogar would again compete in the 500 free, going neck-and-neck throughout the race.
A pair of freshman, Anthony DiGiacco and Antoine Lewis swept the competition, with Lewis winning the one-meter board (270.60) and DiGiacco capturing the three-meter event (292.95).
The pair finished in a dead-heat, with both sharing the race in 4:40.62
As in the women's diving competition, the Kansas men's divers were equally successful.
Freshman Dustin Chalfant also stood out on the afternoon, finishing second in both the 100 and 200 breaststroke with season-bests in both events.
"I know our best swims will be at the conference meet and many of our guys were able to pick up some steam heading into that, and that's the main thing," KU men's head coach Doug Dickinson said.
Kansas' next action is at the Big 12 Conference championships in Austin, Texas. The diving championships will be Wednesday, Feb.14 to Saturday, Feb.17, women's swimming championships Thursday, Feb. 15 to Saturday, Feb.17, and men's swimming championships Thursday, March 1 to Saturday, March 3.

Butler moves to top of Western Division
Butter County won its fourth con-
secutive game in a big way, beating
No. 6 Seward County 72-66
Naturday night in El Dorado.
All Butler County coach Dennis Helms needed was a little time before his Grizzlies would make it to the top spot in the Jayhawk Community College Conference Western Division standings.
In Eastern Division games, Coffeyville held onto its first place position by beating Allen County 82-56; Highland won against Independence 84-73; Johnson County edged Kansas City 79-74; Cowley County nipped Fort Scott 81-78; and Neosho County won a double-overtime contest against Labette 105-102.
Elsewhere in the Western Division, Garden City defeated Dodge City 91-65; Barton County pounded Pratt 99-70; and Hutchinson got by Cloud County 95-71.
Butler County, which went to the Region VI championship seven times in the 1990s, bringing home four titles, had a 16-15 record in Helms' first season in El Dorado last year. Now, the Grizzlies are 17-5 overall and 6-2 in the Western Division, and in a tie for first place with Seward County and Garden City in division standings.
"We're getting better," Helms said. "You always plan to get better, but you better get better in this conference."

Texas kept the game close for most of the first half, including an 8-0 run in the final minutes of the first half to stay near the Jayhawks, who did not score a point for the last 4 minutes, 31 seconds of the first half.

"In the first half, both teams were a little lethargic," Hinrich said. "We didn't play very well at all and I don't think they played very well. In the second half we were able to make a couple of big shots and hang on down the stretch."
Gooden scored eight of Kansas' first nine points of the second half, part of his 19-point, 12-rebound effort that marked his Big 12-leading ninth double-double of the season. Kelly led the Longhorns with 19 points.
Boschee and Gregory each scored 16 points and sophomore forward Nick Collison added 14 points.

Center thrives in rough play
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Eric Chenowith did a little bit of everything in Kansas' 82-66 win against Texas on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.
Against what is arguably the most physically imposing front-court in the Big 12 Conference, Chenowith not only held his own, but thrived in that physical environment.
Kansas' 7-foot-1 senior scored eight points, hauled in 14 rebounds and blocked four shots — something the Texas front-court is notorious for.
"It was just a street fight out there at times," Chenowith said. So, what was the key to Chenowith's success against such a tough team?
"I wanted to play aggressive and I wanted to play physically," Chenowith said. "We wanted to go out there and play tough and win the game on the boards."
Despite not putting up staggering scoring numbers, Chenowith continues to lead the Big 12 in rebounding at 8.6 per game. His 14 rebounds against Texas, five of them offensive, will no doubt keep him at the top.
While his rebounds came early and often, they did not come easily. Much of his work was done against Texas junior Chris Owens, who is built like a freight train.
"He gets underneath you and he's really strong," said Chenowith, who is averaging 10.1 points a game this season. "You've just got to stay on the floor and take up space."
The Jayhawks knew they would have their hands full with the Longhorns under the basket but still were able to put up impressive numbers regardless. Sophomores Drew Gooden and Nick Collison, combined with Chenowith, scored 41 points and brought down 30 rebounds.
"Rick's clubs have been known for being really aggressive and really good defensively, and I don't think today's game changed that whatsoever," Kansas coach Roy Williams said, referring to Texas coach Rick Barnes. "It was difficult for us to get anything we wanted."

Williams said he liked what he saw out of Chenowith and thought the struggles in the low post would help the Jayhawks down the road.
"I told our guys at the 12-minute TV timeout that I loved what was happening," Williams said. "You were having to battle

for every inch. You were having to battle for every spot, and I think those kind of games make you better."
Collison said the key to producing against Texas was to give them a taste of its own medicine.
"I think you have to go at them." Collison said. "If we let them just push us out, we're not doing what we do best. You just have to get lower and go right back at them."
And going right back at them helped to get Texas in foul trouble, something that kept the Longhorns at bay down the stretch.
All three of Texas' starting forwards had to go to the sidelines because of foul trouble, with Owens and James Thomas fouling out.

Rower likes busy life

kansas sportwriter
Audry Korte says she likes staying busy. It's a good thing, too, because for the Woodbridge, Conn., sophomore, this school year has been anything but laid back.
The University Scholars program recognizes 20 of the top sophomores on campus based on academic achievements. Those selected must maintain at least a 3.8 GPA, while taking a special three-hour course each Wednesday night. Participants are each assigned a mentor as well to advise and assist them in career opportunities
While triple majoring in political science, international studies and journalism, Korte has been one of just 20 sophomores involved with the University Scholars program this year. On top of that, as a member of the Kansas women's rowing team, she is the only one in the program to participate in a varsity sport as well.
"It requires a lot of work but is interesting to be involved
with it," Korte said about University Scholars. "I get to be with 19 of the most intelligent people at KU. That itself is challenging to me, which is part of why I

Korte's challenges extend beyond the classroom, though. While spending last season rowing with the first freshmen eight boat, Korte injured her shoulder and was
forced to have surgery in October to repair the damage. She will be given a medical redshift this year, but still faces the task of returning to top form after spending nearly two years dealing with the injury.
Audry Korte
"The whole process has been hard," she said. "I pushed through the year with it last season. I don't want to go back now, though, knowing it's weak and that I haven't been able to train properly. Hopefully, I'll be able to get in a boat by spring training and then it'll be nice to be back doing what
the team is doing again."
The apparent hardships, however, are not without their advantages.
Looking forward to those contributions in the future, said coach Rob Catloth, is part of what makes her loss this year a little more bearable.
"The great thing about it is it gives me one more year and opportunity to go to the NCAA Championship and be a part of something great with this team," she said.
Amidst all the anticipation about her rowing future, her rehabilitation now, and her academic demands, Korte maintains her life is keeping the pace she likes best.
"We don't want to rush it because she's a good rower and we expect her to be an integral part of our success over her career here." he said.
"I like being in the middle of the action," she said. "When I have too much time on my hands, I don't know what to do with it. Being busy like this keeps me organized and focused and, that's good."

Success surprises coach
By Brent Briggeman

Kansas writerwriter
After only two weeks of practice and with only one senior on the roster, Kansas softball coach Tracy Bunge didn't anticipate a strong showing from her team in the season's first tournament.
She didn't expect five wins in six games.
"I don't know if I can describe what it feels like to be 5-1 because it's so unexpected," she said. "I'm extremely proud of these kids and excited about the way we played."
Things didn't look optimistic at the start of the Diamond Invitational in Albuquerque, NM, as No. 14 Cal State Fullerton handled Kansas 12-1 in the opening. The Titans jumped all over starting pitcher Kelly Campbell, roughing her up for nine earned runs in her four innings of work.
Softball
The second game looked to be more of the same as host New Mexico sprang to a 6-1 lead in the first five innings.
"It was disappointing because we did not come out and play like we had nothing to lose," she
Bunge was concerned after the flat start.
said. "We played very passively. We played very much afraid to make mistakes."
One inning made all the difference. In an offensive flurry, capped by junior catcher Leah Tabb's grand slam, the Jayhawks posted a six-run sixth inning and held on for a 7-6 win
The Jayhawks kept the momentum for the tournament's final four games. Kansas put away both Colorado State and Ole Miss by identical 5-4 scores Saturday, then beat Colorado State, 15-3, and New Mexico, 2-1, yesterday.
Tabb said the young Jayhawks proved they could play with the tournament's balanced field.
"We knew at first that we were capable of coming out and beating every team here and we just proved it," she said. "Right now, it just feels great."
"The knock on us last year was we couldn't score runs," she said. "To see what we've done so far, I feel like we have taken about 10 steps forward already."
Offense was a key concern for Bunge, as the Jayhawks hit .228 last year. She said the tournament provided evidence that this season would be different.
Tabb contributed a solo home run and a double in addition to the grand slam.
The Jayhawks' inexperienced pitching staff was the other key question. Campbell, a junior who posted a 7-1 record last season, was the only of the three pitchers on the roster who had taken the mound in a Division I contest.
"It is not just the top three or four hitters that are doing it. I am really pleased, one through nine, that everybody at one given time or another is doing some good things."
The staff eased Bunge's concerns as all three hurlers, Campbell, sophomore Kirsten Milhoan and freshman Kara Pierce, picked up wins during the weekend.
"The best thing about the weekend is I thought we got better every day," she said. "I can't think of anybody who had a poor weekend."

Guard quits team,goes back to Brazil
By Jessie Meyer sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The junior college transfer made her decision Friday, saying that she was moving home to Brazil for undisclosed personal reasons.
The Kansas women's basketball team has struggled this season to find help from its bench, and it will struggle even more now that junior guard Fernanda Bosi has quit the program.
"I have decided to leave the University of Kansas and return to Brazil to attend to some personal matters," Bosi said. "I have enjoyed my time here and am thankful for the opportunity that coach Washington and her staff have given me."
Bosi did not attend Wednesday's home game against Nebraska, again for personal reasons, and then surprised her team with her decision to move.
"It is a shock and a disappointment that Fernanda has decided to leave the team, but we respect her wishes to return home to Brazil," Kansas coach Marian Washington said.
Bosi, who transferred to Kansas from Western Nebraska Junior College this season, averaged 5.3 points and 2.3 rebounds. But the 17.3 minutes she averaged were priceless to the shallow Kansas team.
The match-up on Saturday against Texas proved the point. The 'Hawks walked away with a 70-60 upset on the road, but the bench scored only two points, and four of Kansas' five starters played 32 minutes or more.
The Longhorns also lost a player last week, but Saturday's game indicated that their bench has found a way to bounce back.
Sophomore Alisha Sare left the Texas women's basketball program Tuesday after battling a left Achilles tendon strain. But the Texas bench scored 29 points against Kansas — nearly half of Texas' points.
"We have some new faces playing for us," Washington said. "We just lost one of our players, and our players are trying to adjust to those kind of unexpected challenges."

Campus mourns death of RA
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Neighbors, student senators and friends expressed shock yesterday at the death of Shyra McGee, a Lawrence senior who served as a resident assistant for Stouffer Place apartments.
McGee died Sunday night as she was flown to the University of Kansas Medical Center by helicopter after a car accident at Sixth Street and Monterey Way.
Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Patrick described the accident this way: McGee was the passenger in an '89 Honda Accord, driven by her husband John, Amber Sellers, Wichita sophomore, was in the back seat. The Honda was stopped at a light on Monterey Way and began to cross Sixth Street when it turned green. A '92 Ford Explorer, driven by 30-year-old Brandon Gentry, of Lawrence, struck the McGee vehicle on its passenger side. Shyra McGee and Sellers were taken to the Med Center by helicopter, and Gentry and John McGee were taken to Lawrence Memorial Hospital by ambulance.
Gentry was released yesterday from Lawrence Memorial Hospital, where John McGee was listed in good condition. Sellers was listed in fair condition at the Med Center.
Patrick said police were still investigating the accident yesterday and had not
issued any citations. He said alcohol may have been a contributing factor in the accident. Patrick asked for anyone who wilt-
nessed the accident to call the police department at 841-7210 and ask for the detective division.

Ken Stoner, student housing director, said housing notified Stouffer Place tenants of McGee's death late Sunday night.
"She was very well known and very well liked in the Stouffer Place community," Stoner said.
Shyra McGee: died in a car accident Sunday night
Dusten Crichton, Ft.
Duster, Crichton, I, met McGee when he became an RA at Templin, where she was a desk assistant.
"She had a great sense of humor," Crichton said. "She was always laughing, hugging. If she was in a good mood, you knew it. Every time I was around her I felt loved. She always made me feel like I belonged."
Crichton said that McGee was popular among her residents and that everyone he knew who worked with her "loved her."
Justin Mills, Lansing senior, worked with McGee in Student Senate, where McGee served as a nontraditional student senator
last school year. He said McGee had quit Senate to become more involved with the issues of the people she served as an RA.
"She always had something good to say." Mills said. "She always made you smile even if you were stressed out. She was always honest with people, and a lot of people had respect for her."
Diana Rhodes, Senate secretary, said that McGee had been one of the authors of a bill last year that would help minority students and that McGee "could make things a lot of fun."
At Stouffer Place, Rathgama Jayalah, Lawrence graduate student, said McGee loved his two children and would join them when they played in the yard. He also said that she was readily available for any of her residents' maintenance problems and that Stouffer Place had definitely experienced a loss.
Chancellor Robert Hemenway echoed Jayalath's comments in a statement released yesterday.
Children at Stouffer Place also said they missed McGee. Amelia Kyle, 7; Blossom Kyle, 7; Ronni Ricketts, 7; and Kinsey Ricketts, 5; said McGee would play Frisbee
"Shyra McGee was known by many at the University, including the children she worked with at Stouffer Place," he said. "She will be missed. On behalf of the University community, I offer our prayers and deepest sympathies to Shyra's husband, family and friends."
and ride bikes with them, buy from their fund-raisers, pump air into their bike tires, make sure they were safe, and talk to parents when their children were picking on others.
"It wasn't right that she was killed because she was a really nice lady." Romi said.
Amelia said "a lot of people" at Stouffer Place knew McGee. Amelia hoped she and the other children would be invited to Shyra's funeral.
Laura Morgan, assistant director of the Student Development Center, said the McGee had been one of the founders of the Sigma Gamma Rho sorority on campus and a founding member of the National Council of Negro Women at the University. She also received the 2000 Outstanding Nontraditional Woman Student award from the University and an award for Outstanding Women Students in Residence Halls. Scholarship Halls and Sororities.
"It's obviously just a real loss to the entire University campus with the breadth of her involvement," Morgan said. "It's really awful."
Crichton, who knew McGee from residential life, said he did not know how to react to her death.
"I'm still waiting to see her on campus," he said. "I still think I'm going to hear her laugh. She had a unique personality that came out in her laugh."

SIGNS OF RESPECT
Revising sign language
Story by Danny Phillips Photo illustration Matt Daugherty
When politically correct terms became mainstream in the early 1990s, Jason Curry accepted the change immediately.
The Long Beach, Calif., graduate student said he recognized that traditional references to certain ethnic groups had become offensive to many and were no longer culturally appropriate. But there was one difference. While Curry changed his habits, he never changed his speech.
That's because Curry is deaf, and he communicates with American Sign Language. Just like its spoken counterpart, ASL has made a few recent changes in the name of political correctness.
In the past, it was common to identify China or Japan by signing a slanted eye. The sign for Africa involved circling the face and touching the nose. Tracing a cross on the forehead was the sign for Italy.
Because signs like these offended some people, ASL adopted new signs for many countries and ethnic groups.
Often, the updated signs aren't really new at all — they're the signs used by non-

indigenous peoples to describe their own countries.
In place of the slanted eye sign, the shape of the island now identifies Japan. China is signified by its traditional military uniform, and Africa is signed by outlining the continent.
Trina Schartz, University of Kansas interpreter coordinator, said, "I don't think when they created the signs that they were doing it to be oppressive. A lot of it has to do with naivete."
Schartz said until people were educated, they might do or say things that might look derogatory from other points of view.

University attracts more foreign students

When Giri Gokulrangan first arrived in Kansas, he found few fellow Indians in his new home at the University of Kansas.
The growth Gokulangan has witnessed at the University is part of a national trend. The increase of international students studying in the United States has risen 5 percent, to 514,723 students, during the last school year of 1999-2000, according to USA Today.
"Our system of higher education has been
The University boasts a small increase in international students, increasing from 1,506 students in the fall of 1999 to 1,534 this fall, an increase of 1.9 percent. India, China and Japan post the highest numbers of international students for the University at 176, 153 and 127, respectively.
a model for many, many years," said Diana Carlin, dean of international programs. "People are becoming more aware of the importance of international experience."
"I had a fairly smooth transition," Gokulrangan said. "The Midwest is one of the best places for having a smooth transition. The people are really warm and friendly here."
"We have been doing some recruiting," said Joe Potts, director of international student services. "Our recruiting has paid off."
Gokulrangan said the University's ability to help international students adjust could have attributed to its growth.

came to the University with the help of her uncle C.C. Cheng, a professor emeritus at the University of Kansas Medical Center. She took two semesters of English at the Applied English Center before making the transition to a normal schedule.
The University's large group of Chinese students gives Xu a chance to celebrate holidays and events with her fellow citizens.
While this group can't enjoy special events back home, Xu said she still understood why so many make the move.
"There are more opportunities for scholarships and fellowships in America than other countries," she said. "Many people prefer a degree from a U.S. university than from schools in other countries."

Students raise money for victims of quakes
By Danny Phillips
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Student organizations at the University of Kansas are mobilizing relief efforts for victims of recent earthquakes in El Salvador and India.
The Cultural India Club is assembling to raise donations for the 600,000 people left without shelter near Bhuj, India, and the surrounding regions.
The campus group Latin American Solidarity is continuing its campaign to raise money for the earthquake victims in El Salvador.
To help with its cause, Latin American Solidarity solicited donations at tables in the Kansas Union last week. Joanna Griffin, Wichita junior and organization president, said that there also were tentative plans to organize a benefit concert later in the semester but that no performers had been booked.
"There will still be a lot of need in a couple of months," she said.
The Cultural India Club plans to contact every member on its 150-person mailing list for contributions.
Meanwhile, the International Student Services office will e-mail more international students to request donations for the club's effort.
In addition, Chetan Khanna, Lawrence graduate student and club vice president, said the group would make a concentrated effort to collect money from students on campus Thursday.
Three donation boxes will be placed at strategic locations Wescoe Hall, the Kansas Union and the Information & Telecommunication Technology Center in Nichols Hall.
Khanna said that while the plan was to close out the fund raiser by next week, he didn't want to put any pressure on people who might want to contribute.
Griffin said Latin American Solidarity already had raised nearly $75 and while she wanted to collect as much as she could, her realistic objective for now was $200.
Khanna said he would be a little disappointed if his organization didn't raise at least $5,000.
"It doesn't have to be anything very large," he said. "Just the change you have in your pocket will help out."
The earthquake that struck El Salvador and India have caused monumental destruction.
Residents of the more than 65 towns in El Salvador affected by the 7.6-magnitude quake Jan. 13 continue to struggle. In addition to 726 deaths, more than 4,000 people were injured and nearly 200,000 homes were destroyed.
The India earthquake that struck 10 days ago measured 7.7 on the Ritcher scale and reduced several densely populated towns to rubble. Officials estimate 17,000 people were killed during the quake, but that number is expected to rise as search teams continue to find bodies.
"The nature of the calamity is unprecedented," said Khanna. "It's probably the worst in the nation's history."
Latin American Solidarity will set up tables in the Kansas Union to solicit donations from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Feb. 13-16.

Students arrested for bombing plot
HOYT — Three students were charged yesterday after authorities uncovered a plot to attack their school in northeast Kansas.
Charges of conspiracy to commit aggravated arson were filed against Richard Bradley, Jr., 18; Jason Moss, 17; and James Lopez, 16. Lopez faces an additional charge of aggravated intimidation of a witness or victim, said Jackson County District Attorney Douglas Fisher.
The trio was arrested Friday on charges of conspiracy to commit murder and conspiring to criminally use explosives after officials searched two homes in Mayetta and Hoyt. Deputies there found bomb-making materials, hand-drawn floor plans of the school, a modified assault rifle, about 400 rounds of ammunition and white supremacist and Nazi drawings.
Also taken from the homes were three black trench coats similar to what the two Columbine High School gunmen wore and for which they dubbed themselves the "Trench Coat Mafia," the Topea Capital-Journal reported yesterday.
On April 20, 1999, at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., two teen-age boys killed 12 fellow students and a teacher and wounded 23 people before committing suicide.
Detective Steven Rupert of the Jackson County Sheriff's Office said that the suspects had discussed the Columbine attack and allegedly planned to make a similar attack on Royal Valley High School in May, possibly at a major school event such as a dance.

Plant worker kills four injures four others
MELROSE PARK, Ill. — A factory worker forced his way into a suburban Chicago engine plant yesterday and opened fire, one day before he was to report to prison for stealing for his former employer. He killed five people, including himself, and wounded four others.
William D. Baker, 66, showed up at the Navistar International plant with an arsenal of weapons in a golf bag and made his way through the vast building, blasting away with an AK-47 assault rifle, police said. Employees scattered in terror.
He shot seven people, three of them fatally, in an engineering area, then went into an office, where he killed one more person and then shot himself, police said
Baker had been scheduled to surrender today to serve a five-month federal sentence for conspiracy to commit theft from an interstate shipment. He pleaded guilty last June, six years after he was fired.
Martin Reutmann, a 24-year-old engineer, was sitting at his desk when he heard gunfire about 10 a.m.

Barak trails in election despite cautions of war
JERUSALEM — A day before Israel's fateful election, Prime Minister Ehud
Barak still trailed far behind challenger Ariel Sharon yesterday despite his renewed warning that a Sharon victory will plunge Israel into war with the Palestinians. Israeli security forces, meanwhile, were on high alert for possible attempts by Palestinian militants to carry out terror attacks on election day. Palestinians have been largely barred from Israel since fighting began Sept. 28. Over the weekend, Barak ordered restrictions tightened further, with most West Bank residents prevented from leaving their towns. In a poll in the Yediot Ahronot daily, the hawkish Sharon had the backing of 56 percent of the voters, compared to 38 percent for Barak. A survey in the Maariv daily gave Sharon 55 percent and Barak 36 percent. The polls had margins of error of 3 percentage points and 2.3 points, respectively.
China's state media fires at Falun Gong
BEJING — China's government is seizing on the dramatic suicide attempt by purported members of the Falun Gong sect to try to sway a public that has stood on the sidelines during the 18-month-long crackdown on the banned group. State media, the only kind in China, have intensified attacks on Falun Gong. Scholars are denouncing it in a symposium-like forum touring Beijing. Schools have been ordered to hold classes criticizing it once the Lunar New Year vacation ends this month. Touching off the campaign was the attempt by seven people to burn themselves on Tiananmen Square on Jan. 23, the eve of the Lunar New Year, China's biggest holiday. Kept out of state media for a week, the group suicide attempt — which left one dead and four injured — got its first airing last Tuesday with reports scripted for maximum impact.
Four Muslims convicted for religious violence
SOHAG, Egypt — A southern Egyptian court yesterday convicted four of 96 defendants on trial for deadly Muslim-Christian clashes a year ago. The clashes marked some of the worst religious violence in decades. All four convicted were Muslims, though none were convicted of the harshest charges filed, murder. The harshest penalty imposed was 10 years in prison for accidental homicide and illegal possession of a weapon, handed down to Mayez Amin Abdel-Rahim. Twenty-one people, nearly all of them Christians, died in the violence that erupted Jan. 2, 2000, after an argument between a Muslim customer and a Coptic Christian shopkeeper in el-Kusheh, 275 miles south of Calio. The fighting spread to the neighboring village of Dar el-Salam.

Student senators to fight ordinance
By Brooke Hesler
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
The battle between some student senators and proponents of a new city housing ordinance will continue at tonight's City Commission meeting at 6:30 p.m. on the first floor of City Hall, C. Sixth St.
The City Commission will hear public comment about the proposed ordinance which would reduce from four to two the number of nonrelated persons in single-family residences. Andrew Bailey, Student Legislative Awareness Board community affairs director, said he would be there along with several other senators.
"I think its ordinance affects everyone." Bailey said. "Even if you live in an apartment, it's going to drive up apartment rates."
The Delta Force coalition won't be at tonight's meeting, but Kyle Browning, coalition member and liberal arts and sciences senator, said the group planned to protest future meetings related to the ordinance.
"There are going to be two readings of the ordinance after tonight, and we feel it would be more effective to be at the first reading," he said.
But Browning said he wanted commissioners to take student opinion into account.
"We want to be a presence there and voice our opposition." Browning said. "One of the reasons I think the City Commission doesn't take us seriously is because we don't vote."
Tonight's meeting won't be the last on the housing ordinance issue. The commission will vote on the ordinance at next week's meeting. They also will set up readings for the ordinance if it is enacted.
"Knowing the way they handle things, they'll probably set it up for the week of spring break," Bailey said.
Commissioners have said they would not pursue the housing issue while students were away during holiday breaks.
Bailey said he and other senators would be ready when the ordinance came down for a final vote.
"We've been professional up until

now, and it hasn't worked," Bailey said.
At future meetings, Bailey said the group also might organize a protest outside City Hall. Bailey said the group of senators also planned to hand out filfers and hang up posters around campus expressing their disapproval of the ordinance. While he said he hoped commissioners would take students' input into account, he still expected the ordinance to pass.
"In some form or another, I think it will go through," he said. "But I'm proud of what we've done so far with the way we've gone about defending our current zoning regulations."
Holly Krebs, Student Rights Committee chairwoman, said she would attend tonight's meeting. She said she hoped the proposed ordinance would serve as a wake-up call to students who think government doesn't matter.
"This is a perfect example of how much power the City Commission has to affect our everyday lives," Krebs said.
Bailey said if the ordinance did pass, there would be problems enforcing it.
"It will be selectively enforced," Bailey said. "The city will rely on individuals to report any violations, and if individuals have problems with people of certain age groups, race, eye color, whatever, it opens the door for discrimination."
Both Bailey and Krebs said they encouraged students to vote later this month when three of the commissioners are up for re-election. They said it would make the commissioners take note of student interests.
"Hopefully, students will vote," Bailey said. "If half as many students voted as are registered to vote, it would make a huge difference. We could vote some of these commissioners out if that's what we wanted."

Few students meet dean candidate

Undergraduate students had the opportunity to meet with School of Education dean candidate Dianne Ashby yesterday, but the scheduled meeting brought in only two students.
By Andrew Davies
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
The meeting was set up so that Ashby, chairwoman of the department of education and administration at Illinois State University, and the students attending could talk informally. However, with only two students present, the meeting was even more relaxed.
Ashby also asked the students questions, mostly about classes and students' concerns with them.
The students asked Ashby a variety of questions, including her views on five-year education programs compared to four-year programs, and why she decided to apply for the position at the University of Kansas.
Ashby said she had applied to the University of
Kansas and two other schools of education largely because of their positive reputations among schools of education and the University's strong special education program.
"This particular school has a lot of things going for it," Ashby said. "It has a strong faculty. It has the opportunity over the next five to seven years to hire some more strong faculty with natural faculty turnover, which is a great way to shape an institution. It has a lot of good educational research that it turns out."
Ashby said that endowment money raised by the school put it in a position to be a national leader.
Ashby said other important issues to her were faculty participation in research, fund-raising issues, the use of technology and the study of the impact of technology.
Ashby said her leadership style was to employ good communication and delegate authority and responsibility to others.
Felicia Orozco, Kanopolis senior, said she liked
"I liked the fact that she was going to take a look at the five-year program compared to the four-year program," she said.
Ashby's willingness to examine the education program and make any necessary changes.
Nikki Bina, Lincolnville senior and the student representative on the dean search committee, said she was impressed with Ashby.
"From a student perspective, I really liked what she had to say about using the student groups to be a vehicle for her to get to know students, because I think that's very important," she said.
"I think it says a lot about students not understanding what the dean does, not knowing who they are, not feeling comfortable talking to them, not really thinking that their input means anything," she said. "But as a student, I am disappointed that no one came." -- Edited by Mengen Phukas
Bina said the lack of attendance showed that students might not be fully informed of what a dean's role is in the school.
Class to study highway-expansion proposals

Students will assess environmental impact of changes

the class last night.
Students in Terry Shistar and Karl Birns' environmental studies class will spend the semester taking a look at the impact of local development.
The students will be studying potential environmental impacts of expanding the section of U.S. Highway 59 that runs from Lawrence south to Ottawa. Representatives from both sides of the issue spoke to
Bruce Plenk, a lawyer representing a coalition of citizens opposed to a new highway, said his client, The Franklin and Douglas Counties Coalition of Concerned Citizens, wanted the highway to be repaired and safety concerns addressed.
But the Kansas Department of Transportation — which also sent a representative to last night's class — has proposed building a new freeway that would cut across farmland that now lines U.S. 59 south of Lawrence. The transportation department has a budget of $161 million for the project.
The citizens coalition had hoped the department would repair the existing highway and add highway patrol officers to make it safer, Plenk said.
Because the project will receive federal funding, the transportation department is required by law to conduct an environmental impact study, which will outline environmental implications of the possible highway locations.
The students also will create an environmental impact study of the possible highway locations as part of their class investigations.
Todd Aschenbach, a graduate teaching assistant for the class, said that while the students might not submit their final projects to the transportation department, the information the students gathered would offer real alternatives for developing the road.
Shistar said that the students' work would be available to whoever was
interested in it but that the semester projects weren't intended to be given to the transportation department.
At least one student in the class saw the benefit of undertaking such a project.
Jacque Jacobs, Lawrence senior, said that she took the class for her environmental studies degree but that she didn't know the course would focus on the Highway 59 issue when she enrolled.
She said she thought the class could be helpful to many of the students.
"I'm not sure if I'm going to stay here for environmental planning or go elsewhere," Jacobs said. "A lot of people will stay here and work in the area."

Game traffic poses puzzle for students
It's now past 11 p.m. I could have been home an hour ago, snug in my residence hall room and working on homework. But I was denied access because of the incompetence of athletics and parking directors.
Mayhem ensued as I attempted to find an open route onto campus at 9:30 p.m. Evidently, the home basketball game had just ended, and people were streaming out every available exit in droves. Police and security blocked every entrance to speed the flow of outeoing traffic.

An hour later, I found a route leading to the Lied Center, where the few lucky enough to find this passage finally let their cars rest and trekked back to their rooms.

However, when one must sneak onto campus simply to get to one's residence, the issue becomes one of right-of-way.
Now, instead of the larger flow of traffic being delayed five or 10 seconds as a single car passes, people unfortunate enough to return home during the rush are forced to spend up to an hour or more looking for a way back or park somewhere inconveniently located off-campus.
Most people, including me, would willingly wait a few minutes while traffic directors shuffled cars away from the fieldhouse. Doing so would be perfectly acceptable in light of the massive flows of traffic.
Now a question of logic is introduced.
■ General admission to a home basketball game at Allen Fieldhouse is $25. A semester parking pass for an already overcrowded residence hall lot is $75.
- Parking spaces and seats in the fieldhouse both are routinely full.
- Student drivers return home five days a week — if not seven. Drivers regularly attending basketball games return roughly once every two weeks.
Based on utilitarianism — in which decisions are based on the greatest happiness for the greatest number — what makes sense: inconveniencing the regular student (whose semester bills for attending the University of Kansas can easily run upwards of $3,000) for an hour or inconveniencing a hundred sports fans for five minutes?
What does this mean? The people to whom the University owes a greater responsibility (those paying for school and associated dues) are sacrificed in lieu of its Athletics Department, and something must be done.
When put into a perspective based on money and utilitarianism, the student wins every time. It would take 125 people paying $25 to watch a game to equal the dues for even one in-state student. Those people are less likely to notice a traffic delay than a student forced to drive for an hour.
Perhaps all roads but a major one (such as 15th Street) could be closed to incoming drivers after a game. Perhaps signs could be posted at other entrances directing frustrated drivers with a parking permit to available or low-traffic detours. The obvious solution would be to delay traffic slightly to permit students onto campus.
At any rate, there is a cure for this problem. It just hasn't been prescribed yet.

Bush's promise of unity ignores human nature
So President George W. Bush promised unity. Already, people are crying. Unity in America — what an absurd statement. I don't really believe it's possible.
I don't care how outspoken Bush is about unifying the country; anybody who believes him is simply ignoring history.
Of course, he appointed ultraconservatives to serve in his administration. I expected that from him. But frankly, unity cannot be imposed by the government.
Throughout history, humans have fought and died for their beliefs — religion, slavery and taxes,
just to name a few. Our
country was founded on
conflict. Sure, it says
the "United States of
America" on an atlas,
but we stay together
through force.
Look at the Civil War; a "state" rebels against its sovereign government, and suddenly you've got troops walking the streets. Or in the case of internal conflict — well, look at the '60s.
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.
In the grand scheme of things, America is still a young country, and it will be full of unrest for a while. People love to hate their boss; it's the American way. Unity is something people create through person-to-person contact and cannot be mandated by a president.
Conflict has been the single greatest catalyst of human and civil progress. People work much more efficiently when they compete with a common enemy.
Now, those enemies are Democrats or Republicans. Would you like it if there were only one political party? I hope not. Maybe it would be the Unity party.
Shaun Peterson columnist opinion@kansan.com
Conflict also has saved nations. Conflict is good for the economy. Many credit
World War II for bringing America out of the depression.
Unity is impossible. If you disagree, read some history and then decide for yourself. In the thousands of years humans have been on this planet, we still can't figure out how to get along with each other. We didn't evolve by sitting around a campfire singing "Kumbaya" and popping acid.
Conflict is simply part of our nature. Besides, what would you do with your days if you had nothing to go after or struggle to achieve? Aren't you in college because of the American dream?
People have no wish to be unified. People are self-motivated. The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Ku Klux Klan and various other groups are all out to look after themselves; they're not pursuing unity.
We can live our lives alimlessly, like the citizens in Brave New World, or we can move on and fight. Unity on planet earth
maybe in a few billion years. That's America and the American dream. Sad as it may be, that's just how the game is played.
I still find it funny that anyone believed Bush when he spoke of unifying the country and Congress. Congress isn't supposed to be unified and efficient.
As Harry Truman said, "You want efficiency, go get a dictatorship." Besides, I like watching them call each other names and fighting. It just goes to show how far away they are from humanity. So all those who want unity: Go to Cuba or accept your fate. Without struggle, there will be no progress.
Conflict is the flower that enriches your life and pricks you at the same time. It's essential for democracy and for the advancement of you and all of western civilization.
Conflict made us what we are today — nothing less and nothing more.
Editorial
Deal places presidency above law
Clinton got off easy when he struck a toothless deal with investigators.
Peterson is a Wichita freshman in pre-journalism.
Former president Bill Clinton struck a deal with independent counsel Robert Ray Jan. 19 that ensured Clinton would not be permanently disbarred as soon as he left office. But the penalties he agreed to suffer are no more than slaps on his wrist.
— which is perjury, a felony. He also must acknowledge that he lied to the public, will lose his license to practice law for five years and will have to pay about $25,000 in legal fees.
Clinton agreed to acknowledge that he lied under oath while testifying in a deposition for the Paula Jones case
Obviously, Clinton has paid a hefty price already by becoming only the second president ever to be impached, but there is no reason why he shouldn't be disbarred if not for any other reason than principle. The president is not above the law.
Now that Clinton is an American citizen again, he should be treated as one. Any other attorney who is convicted of perjury would certainly be disbarred, and Clinton shouldn't be an exception.
"I tried to walk a line between acting lawfully and testifying falsely, but I now recognize that I did not fully accomplish this goal and that certain of my responses to questions about Ms. Lewinsky were false," Clinton said.
Losing his license to practice law for five years is not that harsh for the former president. He will relax, write books and make speeches around the country now that his term is complete. He most likely would have done that even if his license hadn't been suspended. It is doubtful that he would have jumped right back into practicing law after leaving the White House.
Also, acknowledging to the public that he lied under oath is just confirming what the public already knew.
Part of the reason that Ray made the deal is that he wanted closure to an issue that had plagued America for too long. But disbarring Clinton would have brought closure, too. It's good that the final chapter has been written, but Clinton didn't deserve special treatment.

Organization helps diabetics cope
By Livi Regenbaum
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Catherine Teel inserts an insulin pump in her stomach every other day. She then monitors her blood sugar level with a glucometer. While many of us have choices to make concerning diet and exercise, Teel follows a strict regime.
"I have to follow a nutritious diet excluding high sugars and exercise three to five times a week," she said. "I try not to go to extremes with sugar intake. I eat sugar and foods high in carbohydrates in low moderation."
Teel, Alexandria, Va. senior, is a diabetic. She has what is known as type 1 diabetes.
Randall Rock, physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said younger people traditionally have type 1 diabetes but now studies are showing that more young people have type 2 diabetes.
"Type 1 diabetes is diagnosed in the early stages of life." he said.
"People with type 1 diabetes require insulin to manage blood sugar. Although it is now being found in younger people, type 2 diabetes occurs later in life. It is often associated with obesity and can often be controlled with pills."
Teel is a promoter for the Kansas University Diabetes Organization. The organization, which was founded last year by KU graduate Bryan Foster, is a social and support group for diabetic students.
The American Diabetes Association reported that 16 million people have been infected with diabetes.
"Diabetes is a problem within our society," he said. "It is caused by the inability of the body cells to recognize insulin. Insulin is produced by the pancreas, which brings sugar into the cells."
Rock said some symptoms of diabetes included frequent urination and rapid weight loss.

signs but they do not always mean someone has diabetes," he said. "It could also be a symptom of an infection. Either way, students should come to Watkins if they have any of these symptoms."
Teel said being diabetic had its struggles.
"It is hard to keep up with your blood sugar every day," she said. "I am also advised to exercise three to five times a week, which is hard to keep up with."
Ruth Stoner, adviser to the organization and parent of a college student with diabetes, said diabetes was a life threatening disease if students did not take care of themselves.
"If students do not get enough insulin or have too much, they
can go into diabetes shock," she said.
Stoner said the organization's goal was to provide diabetes education to the University community. The group is exploring service opportunities as well.
Teel said she hoped the organization would serve as a support group for diabetics.
"This group is meant to help people get to know other people who have diabetes," Teel said. "It is a place where diabetics can discuss how we are dealing with being diabetic in a laid-back atmosphere."
Stoner said the organization was not limited to those with diabetes; those who have a family member with diabetes also can join.
The Kansas University Diabetes Organization meets twice a month in the Kansas Union. The next meeting is 7 p.m. Wednesday at Casablanca Cafe, 2233 Louisiana. For more information, contact Catherine Teel at 838-8983.

Sign language becomes politically correct
Continued from page 1A
courses to hearing students at Johnson County Community College, said she first realized the old signs were inappropriate when she attended the Deaf Minority Hispanic National Conference in Beaumont, Texas, about 10 years ago.
"I would ascribe that to lack of
A Native-American woman told the conference participants that she was always offended by the ASL sign for her people, a feathered headaddress, represented by pulling the thumb and index finger around the right side of the head. Then the woman showed the participants the sign Native Americans use to describe themselves, rubbing her skin with an "S" hand shape, which represents the pride of their skin color and their culture.
"Ever since then, I have taught my students those signs because it is important for them to see all
different kinds of signs," Brown-Kurz said.
However, people also need to be able to interpret what deaf people are trying to sign, Brown-Kurz said. She teaches all the signs for ethnic groups and informs her students which ones are considered politically correct.
Professor Sally Roberts teaches an introduction to ASL class at the University, and while she doesn't believe the old signs are offensive, she does use the modern terms out of respect. Like Brown-Kurz, she teaches all signs "in case they encounter older people who use the old signs," she said.
Indeed, old habits can die hard. As a student teacher at the Kansas School for the Deaf in Olathe, Curry said he was stunned to see some staff and students using old signs for Japan and China.
awareness, as deaf communities here in the Midwest aren't tightly connected to those in the East or West." he said.
Nancy Schultz, teacher at the Kansas School for the Deaf, said there was no written policy at the school concerning politically correct signage, but the teachers have made the switch to the more appropriate signs.
On rare occasions, she said she had witnessed some older students using the old signs in a derogatory manner when they were mad at another student, just as a speaking person might use a racial slur.
Higher institutions of learning aren't immune to outdated sign language either.
When Curry attended Arizona State University, he said he was shocked to see a professor use the slanted eye sign to refer to a

Chinese person.
Sometimes regional signs emerge for different groups, just as there are regional accents among those who can hear.
Curry said it was still common for Mexico to be signed by bringing a finger across the cheek, representing a moustache. But when he lived in California, the accepted sign was pulling your hands down from your shoulders and across your chest — the sign for a poncho.
Regardless of which sign is used for which country, the general consensus in the deaf community and those closely associated with it is that the traditional signs weren't meant to be racist.
"Deaf people are very visual," Schartz said. "They looked at the shapes of things. A lot the signs were classified in the respect of whatever they were looking at."

LOS ANGELES — There's something satisfying about hearing a television network say it's sorry, it goofed, it will try to do better next time.
NBC's apology was unnecessary
Big companies and institutions generally avoid such admissions. Networks especially are known for trying to kick even routine mistakes under the carpet.
WANNA BET?
In Law & Order, the wife of a dot-com millionaire dies after being caught up in a rampage by a Hispanic mob, and a vowe Brazilian man is convicted in the crime.
The Associated Press
Manuel Mirabal, head of the National Puerto Rican Coalition, was among the Hispanic leaders who extracted NBC's statement that it neglected "offending the Latino community" and would spike the episode.
The show's creator and executive producer, Dick Wolf, swiftly denounced NBC as having "caved in to the demands of a special interest group" and setting a "dangerous precedent."
The episode in question was loosely based on mass assaults on women and girls that occurred in New York's Central Park after last year's Puerto Rican Day parade.
Given that, it seems NBC should be commended for its response to criticism of its Jan. 24 Law & Order episode. NBC apologized to Hispanic leaders for the drama about violence surrounding New York's Puerto Rican Day parade and said the episode wouldn't air again.
In this case, however, NBC confessed to a mistake it didn't make, forcing the worthy *Law and Order* to take an unfair hit for television's miserable record of racial insensitivity — and putting a bull's eye on bold programming.
"Every Puerto Rican shown in that show was portrayed negatively as a criminal, as a delinquent, as someone who abuses women," Mirabal said in an interview.
That's a lot of airtime to give a producer with faulty judgment. But the truth is that NBC has allowed Wolf's series to be unfairly condemned.
The fact that Law & Order is on this hot seat is ironic. The drama has become NBC's equivalent of McDonald's — a franchise that includes Law & Order: Special Victims Unit and the upcoming Law & Order III: Criminal Intent.
Mirabal accused the show of distorting real events (the men arrested in the sexual attacks included non-Hispanics and no deaths occurred) and called it defamatory.
The series does not take a rose-colored approach; the parade episode did depict a Hispanic mob and killer. But it also featured a savvy Hispanic defense attorney and used the character to underscore racially oriented political pressure.
The network's guilty plea in the Law & Order case was entered as broadcasters face increasing pressure from civil rights groups to increase diversity in their programming and in hiring. But letting one of its best series become a whipping boy can only weaken NBC's position.

BIG 12 BASKETBALL
Rush and Reid voted players of the week
DALLAS — Missouri sophomore guard Kareem Rush came up big in the Tigers' 75-66 upset win against No. 3 Kansas last Monday. Rush scored 27 points for the game and was the Phillips 66 Big 12 Player of the Week, Kansas State junior guard Larry Reid averaged 24 points in two games last week. He scored 30 points at Iowa State and is the Phillips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the Week.
Both players are winning the honor for the second time this season. Both honors are voted on by a media panel.
Rush scored 16 of his 27 points in the final 12 minutes against Kansas. Rush also pulled down 11 rebounds in the game, which marked his four double-double of the season. He was 9-1for 17 (52.9 percent) shooting from the floor for the game and 8-for-9 (88.9) from the free-throw line. He leads the Big 12 in scoring with a 21.9 average. Rush won the honor in a split vote against Iowa State senior Jamaal Tinsley, who averaged 23 points in two games, which included a 26-point effort against K-State.
Reid opened the week scoring a game-high 18 points in the 63-61 loss to Nebraska. He then connected on 10-of-16 shots in scoring 30 points in the 64-78 loss at No. 15 Iowa State. Reid made 7-of-9 three-point field goals against the Cyclones. His seven trifectas were the second most for a Wildcat in a road game, trailing only Steve Henson's eight at Iowa State in 1990. His 30 points were one shy of his career-high 31 against Iowa in December.
For the week, Reid made 60 percent of his field goals (15-of-25), 80 percent of his three-pointers (8-of-10), and all 10 of his free-throws. Reid is averaging 11.1 points and 4.1 assists on the season.
FOOTBALL
XFL broadcast wins out against NHL all-stars
NEW YORK — The XFL's first telecast on UPN outward the NHL All-Star game and pulled in twice the TV ratings that the network's affiliates averaged during the same time slot last month.
The 4.2 preliminary overnight rating for the XFL game Sunday on UPN follows the 10.3 rating produced by the fledgling league's debut on NBC on
The UPN broadcast won its time period in three of the country's largest markets, and was second in 11 others.
Saturday night — far higher than advertisers were promised.
"They had a good start. There was a high number of curious viewers," said Neil Pilson, the former CBS Sports president who now has a consulting firm. "But I doubt they can sustain the rating that they achieved on the first weekend."
On a busy sports weekend, ABC's telecast of the 51st NHL All-Star game — which set a record for total goals with 26 — drew a 2.4 overnight rating, down 8 percent from last season.
That game was followed on ABC by the NFL Pro Bowl, which had a 5.8 overtime rating, 33 percent below last year.
Off-court problems still plague Suns
NBA
PHOENIX — The stars of the Phoenix Suns just can't seem to avoid trouble off the court.
Cliff Robinson was charged early yesterday with driving under the influence and marijuana possession
In less than two months, the three best players on the team have been arrested. Penny Hardaway was charged Dec. 14 with intimidation, and Jason Kidd was charged Jan. 18 with assaulting his wife.
after police stopped his car in Scottsdale.
Robinson initially refused to get out of the car and twice refused a field sobriety test, police representative Scott Reed said. Robinson later submitted to a blood alcohol test, but the results won't be known for several days. Police said they also found a pipe and a small foil packet of what they believed to be marijuana.
"I want to say this is a very embarrassing situation for myself, especially under the circumstances that we've been going through," Robinson said in a brief statement to reporters with Suns owner Jerry Colandez at his side.
Marijuana testing was added to the NBA's new collective bargaining agreement prior to last season. Under the agreement, players who test positive for the drug must undergo mandatory counseling, and a second positive test would include a $15,000 fine. Subsequent positive tests would result in five-game suspensions.
Today's Birthday (Feb. 6). Ask for the perfect job this year and get it. Your frustrations in February lead you to be bold in March. In April your enthusiasm is contagious and brings new friends. In May you feel more like hiding out. By June you'll want company again, but threes a crowd. Your intuition's excellent in July. Shop wisely in August. Your luck in love is excellent in September. Invest in your beliefs in November. Clean your closets in December.
HOROSCOPES
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) --- Today is a 6.
You will solve a puzzle you've been struggling with. Unfortunately, one problem clears up, and another takes its place. Be the wise adviser; that's a lot more fun.
Not only are you smart, your intuition's on target, too. Don't let a worrier's concerns taint your judgment. Avoid becoming emotionally involved.
Changes in your workload favor you. You make this happen. Offer to do something someone else thinks is too difficult. You can figure it out, even if you have to go back to school.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 7.
You ought to be well-reimbursed, but that may not happen. Don't give up if the money hasn't met your expectations. Correct that. When people know exactly what you want, they're happy to provide it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Listen. Your conscience might be trying to tell you something. When you get busy, it's hard to hear. If you've felt someone nagging you, but no one else is around, maybe the voice is within you.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is q. 6.
A meeting with friends should go well
this morning, especially if you're discussing lofty goals. The whole group needs to reach a consensus; You can help. Do the math so you know how much it's costing.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
If you want more money, ask early. Same goes if you're applying for a better job. It's easiest to get a job when you don't really need one. And, it's easier to get a raise if you're already entertaining a better offer.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
A friend from far away would like to tell you how to run your life. You'd be wise to listen. A friend from close by is doing the same. Use your own good judgment.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) —
Today is a 6.
You're mastering the game you're playing now. Soon, you'll get to play at a whole new level. Don't get cocky. You may discover you don't
know nothin', yet. Consider it a reward for getting this far.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
You can make more money without doing more work. That's good because you don't want to do any more work. You've filled up every waking moment with it, and you dream about it at night. Go back to a simpler way.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb.18) Today is a 6.
You may be bothered by a strange feeling. Pay attention in case it helps bring more money into your pocket. Maybe you can provide a new service to a powerful person. Oops, I've given it away.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) --- Today is a 6.
If you're objective, you'll see your worries are normal. Or, you'll see what to do next. Just take it one step at a time, and everything will work out fine.
Tar Heels achieve No.1; Jayhawks fall two spots
The Associated Press
CHAPEL HILL, N.C. — Matt Doherty became accustomed to being No. 1 when he played for North Carolina in the early 1980s. The Tar Heels were the top-ranked team in The Associated Press poll 29 weeks during his career.
The feeling was quite a bit different for Doherty yesterday.
He achieved his first No. 1 ranking as a coach after the Tar Heels beat highly ranked Duke on its home court and then Georgia Tech on Saturday.
Stanford, No. 1 the previous four weeks, fell from the top spot after a weekend loss at home to UCLA.
"As a coach you are more concerned about a lot more things," Doherty said when asked to compare being No. 1 as a player and coach. "As a player you were concerned about yourself and that's about it. As a coach you worry about the opponents, your player's psyche, all those kind of different things."
Before returning to his alma mater, Doherty coached at Notre Dame for one year and was an assistant under Kansas coach Roy Williams from 1993-99. He joins former North Carolina coach Bill Guthridge as the only coaches in Atlantic Coast Conference history to take their teams to the No. 1 ranking in their first year. Guthridge did it with the Tar Heels on Dec. 15. 1997.
Not many programs have had such a smooth transition after losing a legendary coach. The Tar Heels went to two Final Fours in three years after Guthridge replaced Dean Smith, and now Doherty has the program at No. 1 again.
"We've got great players," Doherty said. "That is a big, big part of it. Coach Guthridge left me with some good players and those kids are playing hard. They've matured and been through some wars over the last few years."
North Carolina started the season 3-0, then lost consecutive games to Michigan State and Kentucky. The latter, on Dec 2, was the last game before the winning streak began.
The Tar Heels will defend their
No.1 ranking against No.19 Wake Forest tonight in Winston-Salem.
North Carolina beat the Demon Deacons 70-69 a month ago at the Smith Center.
Stanford (20-1), the last unbeaten Division I team, dropped to second after losing 79-73 to UCLA. The Cardinal got nine first-place votes and 1,677 points, 22 more than Duke (20-2), which dropped one spot following the loss to North Carolina.
Michigan State (18-2), which beat Michigan and Purdue last week, got the other three first-place votes and moved up one place to fourth. Kansas, which lost at Missouri last week, dropped two spots to fifth.

Top teams keep hold of top spots in Big 12
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team upset nationally-ranked Texas on Saturday, but that was the only surprise in the Big 12 Conference this weekend.
The good times keep rolling for No. 11 Oklahoma. The Sooners (17-4 overall, 8-1 in the Big 12) won their eight-straight game with an 82-62 victory against Missouri (13-7, 4).

Caufield scored a game-high 28 points, including 20 in the second half, as she continued to torment Big 12 opponents.
Guard Stacey Dales added 11 points and nine assists for the Sooners.
"We're a Top 10 team now," Dales said. "You're supposed to perform, and that's what we did."
However, the victory didn't appear certain in the first half. Missouri scored five points in the final 30 seconds of the half and cut the Sooners' lead to 38-34 at half-time. But Oklahoma turned it up a notch in the second half, outscoring the Tigers, 44-28.
Oklahoma guard Sunny Hardeman knocked down a three-pointer on the Sooners' first possession of the half, and the Sooners never looked back.
Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said she was concerned by Missouri's history of playing well late in games, but the Sooners came out fired and hounded the Tigers with tough defensive pressure.
While Caufield and the rest of the Sooners supplied their fair share of offensive firepower, defense was the biggest key. Oklahoma held Missouri's leading scorer, forward Amanda Lassiter, to just nine points, well below her 20-point season average.
"These last several games, I've played as if it's my last game," Caufield said. "I don't worry too much about my offense. Coach Coale keeps harping that the offense will come, but it's my defense I must focus on."
Cyclones blow by Cornhuskers
Oklahoma is in a three-way tie for first in the Big 12 with Iowa State (18-2, 8-1) and Texas Tech (17-3, 8-1).

Iowa State chose to spend much of its time behind the arc during the game, knocking down 14 three-pointers, including shooting 10-of-22 in the first half.
Welle led the Cyclones with 23 points, including 19 in the second half. Guards Tracy Gahan and Megan Taylor added 19 points each in the victory.

Kansas comes up short
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Big Monday proved to be another big pain for No. 5 Kansas last night.
No. 12 Iowa State stormed into Allen Fieldhouse and left its occupants stunned as the Cyclones won, 79-77.
The Jayhawks (18-3 overall and 7-2 in the Big 12 Conference) have now lost two of their last three games, not to mention their lead as frontrunners in the Big 12 race. Kansas lost last Monday to Missouri, and its second conference loss last night helped give Iowa State (20-3 and 8-2) command of the conference.
A sloppy first half dug a hole too deep for Kansas to climb out of, and a thunderstorm of three-pointers made the climb even more slippery. Kantrail Horton, Jake Sullivan, Shane Power and Jamie Tainsel Slyere were the rainmakers, pouring in a combined 11-of-17 from
behind the arc. Horton drained all four attempts and Power hit both of his tries, leaving Kansas coach Roy Williams frustrated.
Trailing by as many as 12 points in the second half, the Jayhawks cut their deficit to three points when sophomore point guard Kirk Hirnich found senior center Eric Chenowith open on the break. Chenowith scored and was fouled by Sullivan. The 7-footer's ensuing free-throw made the score 54.51.
"I like for them to shoot those shots, but even that far out they are good shooters," Williams said.
"We'd make a play — get a layup or something — and they'd get a three, Chenowith said. "It seemed like we'd just keep chipping away and they'd chip more."
Just as the Cyclones did in the first half, they answered Chenowith's free throw with a trey. Power hit a wide-open three on an in-bounds play. Two possessions later, Horton popped his fourth three and the Cyclones' lead was back to nine points.
Kansas had a final kick, though, and it was almost enough.
Trailing 73-63 with 342 remaining, Kansas forward Kenny Gregory found teammate Nick Collison open under the basket for a lay-in. On the next possession, Gooden's hook shot trimmed the lead to six points.
Kansas got two chances to win in the final 15 seconds, but Hinrich and senior guard Luke Axtell each missed three-point tries. Axell's attempt at the buzzer was closely guarded and didn't come near the rim.
Hirnich was fouled on a slashing layup, and he made the freethrow, bringing the 'Hawks to within four. Chenwith's free-throws with 1:04 to play cut the gap to two points.
Williams acknowledged that his team didn't get the shot it wanted.
"Our first option was Jeff coming off of the screen and our second option was Nick." Williams said. "Eric down-screened for Luke and he was our third option."

Cyclone guards burn 'Hawks
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
No. 5 Kansas was worried about Iowa State point guard Jamaal Tinslev.
But the Jayhawks had more to deal with than Tinsley last night in Allen Fieldhouse. The entire backcourt of the No. 12 Cyclones burned the Jayhawks all night in a 79-7 Iowa State victory. Tinsley combined with Kantral Horton and Jake Sullivan to score 47 points and hand out 10 assists.
"I feel once I have the ball in my hand, penetrating, nobody can stop me," said Tinsley, who scored 18 points and had six assists.
Tinsley was voted the preseason Big 12 Conference Player of the Year and also received consideration for the preseason All-American team.
Twice Tinsley ran the shot clock down to near zero before stinging the 'Hawks. The first was in the final minute of the first half. Tinsley waited at the time line for the shot clock to drop below 10 seconds, then he proceeded to take Kenny Gregory to the basket for a score.
The second time was in the final 10 minutes of the second half. Tinsley chose Jeff Bosche to toy with before burying a three-pointer. His release came, with three seconds on the shot clock.
Iowa State led 46-35 at halftime.
"Only I can stop myself."
"You've got to remember Kantralt Horton is five years out of high school, and Kirk Hinrich is two years out of high school," he said. "We have experience on them, and that's a fact."
However, Eustachy was quick to say Kansas has a couple good guards in Hinrich and Boschee, and that there couldn't be four better guards going head-to-head.
"We knew they were coming back," Horton said. "With that great coaching staff and the talent they have, we knew they wouldn't quit."
Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy said there's a good reason the Cyclones outplayed the Jawhaws.
Horton kept the Cyclones from being caught in one of Kansas' patented runs.
He led Iowa State with a gamehigh 19 points and was a lethal 4-for-4 from behind the arc, including a 24-foot bomb that silenced the fieldhouse crowd late in the game.
"If felt great just to have my shot back," Horton said. "It's always great hitting them in Allen Fieldhouse."
And it wasn't just Horton that was hitting. The entire Iowa State team combined for 11-for-17 from beyond the arc, good for nearly 65 percent, a number Kansas couldn't compete with.

For real story on athletics, avoid Internet
Undoubtedly, the availability of information has significantly increased with the introduction of the Internet.
Unfortunately, so has the amount of buffoonery.
"Fire him," cried one Internet post.
"Make him resign," crowed another.
The latest e-rumor lit a fire under the seat of Kansas athletics director Bob Frederick. The Internet geeks insist that because Kansas sports teams aren't winning at a satisfactory rate, Frederick is a goner.
One cyber loser on a particular discussion board said Frederick would resign by the end of the week and even cited "unnamed sources" in the Kansas Athletics Department.
This, of course, was six weeks ago, proving that you should never believe everything you read on the Internet and also that the janitor at Allen Fieldhouse could be an unnamed source.
Since taking the reins of the department in 1987, Frederick has been the man responsible for the most successful stretch in the history of Kansas athletics.
It doesn't take an unnamed source, however, to tell you that firing Frederick would be foolish. Apparently, the e-nerds don't understand anything about college athletics, or they would realize how lucky they are to have someone like Frederick captaining the Kansas athletic ship.
Under Frederick, Kansas has gone to three Final Fours, two Aloha Bowls and a College World Series. His program has produced 41 academic All-Americans — which is good enough for third in the country.
And the facilities at Kansas, once a joke so bad that they should have appeared in Mafia!, have become competitive with the top facilities in the country.
Still, the Internet cronies are content to harp on the down side of Frederick's tenure. They say sports that don't have Roy Williams coaching them have fallen on hard times lately. And that slide in the nonbasketball sports will make Kansas' Sears Cup ranking
— which rates the nation's top athletic programs — plummet.
Also, the cyber squawkers gladly say that a few bad apples — such as Dion "Chalupa" Rayford and Le$ter Earl — have diminished the entire national perception of Kansas athletics.
But they also forget that Kansas athletics are in a transition period never before seen at this University.
Eight Kansas coaches weren't here three years ago. And football coach Terry Allen, who just completed his fifth season, still hasn't had a fair chance to show what he can do. But amazingly, Kansas has finished in the top 60 — out of 261 schools — in the Sears Cup standings six of the past seven years.
Granted, there have been numerous off-the-field incidents that have tarnished Kansas athletics recently. But for every Rayford or Earl, there have been hundreds of Jaclyn Johnsons or David Winbushes — good people who also happen to be good athletes.
I know how easy it is to focus on the negative side of Kansas sports. Trust me — it's my job to write about the bad stuff. But perhaps just once, we should give somebody a pat on the back instead of a kick out the door.
Maybe the e-nerds should spend more of their time constructively — like acquiring friends or leaving their houses — and less of their time trying to pick fights where there simply aren't any to be picked.

How to Dress for Success
To help create a good first impression, students usually cannot go wrong by dressing as if they were going to a job interview. However times are changing and business casual is being more and
more accepted in the work place.
A good rule of thumb: if in doubt as to whether it is appropriate-change! Dress for the position you want not the one you already have.
Men
Business Casual
What you should wear...
- Business casual means khakis, chinos, or gabardine trousers and a collared shirt for men,either polo-style or button-down. Ties are optional. Wool or cotton sweaters, trousers, and loafers with dark, coordinated trouser socks are fairly common.
Things to avoid...
- Garish print shirts, sportswear tee shirts, sport team jackets, jeans sweats, athletic "tube" socks, hiking boots, athletic shoes, and sandals.
Business Dress What you should wear...
- Conservative business suit
- Conservative tie
- Long-sleeved white shirt
- Leather oxford or loafer
Suggestions for attending career fairs Do
- Present yourself neatly; iron clothes the night before
* Make sure what you are wearing is comfortable
* Make sure you are well groomed; shower, clean fingernails,
hair brushed and neatly trimmed, facial hair should
also be neatly trimmed
* Brush your teeth so that you can give the
employers your best SMILE!
Don't
- Wear jeans, tennis shoes, or flashy colors or patterns
* Wear too much jewelry, cologne or perfume
Women
Business Casual
What you should wear...
- For women, the guidelines are similar to those for men. Higher heels are no longer as popular as they used to be. Slacks, skirts, and city shorts (top of the knee), and tops with coordinating vests or wool or cotton sweaters are common. Flat leather shoes with dark, coordinating trouser socks are appropriate.
Things to avoid...
- Leggings or Spandex pants, casual and short shorts, ultra short skirts, camisoles, sportswear tee shirts jeans, sweats, athletic shoes, and thong-like "flip-flop" sandals.
Business Dress What you should wear...
- Suit or tailored dress
- Conservative colors: black, gray, navy, brown, beige, burgundy
- Closed-toe, low-heeled pump
- Conservative jewelry

Public outcry persuades City Commission to rework housing proposal before voting
Bv Erin Adamson
wrter@kansan.com
Kansan staff reporter
The City Commission decided last night to redraft the proposed housing ordinances to change the number of unrelated persons that can live in residences zoned for single families from four to three.
The proposed ordinances previously had called to change the number of unrelated people who could live together in those neighborhoods to two.
Commissioners said that the strong public voice at the meeting meant that they needed to go back and rework the ordinances. Dozens of people crowded together to attend last night's meeting.
Holly Krebs, student senator and Lawrence senior, said that students had
Anton Menning, Lawrence sophomore, is a student and a homeowner in Lawrence and was the first student to address the commission.
Menning said that he owned a home and had roommates who paid rent. He said that even though he worked, he would not be able to pay the mortgage on his house if he couldn't live with other people who were unrelated to him who paid rent.
"I think if you do this, it will take away from the center of our town," he said.
Marlon Marshall, student body vice president and St. Louis junior, said he worried that that the ordinances would allow discrimination, because neighbors could report renters if they suspected that too many unrelated people were living together.
"It's impossible to enforce," he said. "If they don't like me because I'm Black, they can call the police."
always encouraged the licensing of land- lords, but that it was unfair that the ordi-nances would only require that houses in single family zones be registered, because licensing didn't apply to decrepit houses in other parts of town.
A number of landlords and concerned citizens also spoke against the ordinances.
Patricia Weis, a landlord who lives outside of Lawrence, said that the ordinances invaded the privacy of renters.
"Requiring landlords to disclose the marital or relationship status of their tenants is against the law," she said.
These are the four proposed ordinances as they stood before the commission last night:
Ordinance No. 7323 would have defined family as no more than two unrelated persons. This ordinance will be redrafted to limit the number to three unrelated people.
No. 7324 would require registration of non-conforming uses within 90 days.
No. 7325 would phase out non-conforming houses over three years as their leases ran out.
No. 7326, which the commission considered for the first time last night, would require licensing of the owner, inspections and a $25 fee to the owner of properties in single-family zoned neighborhoods.
The commission will bring back 7323 and 7324 for a vote at next Tuesday night's meeting.
City Commission primary elections will be on Tuesday, Feb. 27. Students can register to vote in the election at the Student Senate office.

Memorial service for RA set for Monday

Ann Curry was one of many people yesterday who worked to help the family of Shyra McGee, a Wichita senior who was killed Sunday night in a car accident at Sixth Street and Monterey Wav.
Curry, a Stouffer Place resident assistant, had worked with McGee as a RA and in the Stouffer Place housing association. Curry has arranged for people to take meals to the family.
She said people could sign up in the Jayhawker Towers office to bring a dish that would feed 12 people. She said she was coordinating enough meals in case McGee's relatives stayed through the entire week.
Yesterday was taken care of, but
Curry said signups were still needed for today and Thursday and possibly for Friday and Saturday as well.
A memorial service for McGee is scheduled for Monday at 2 p.m. in woodruff Auditorium at the Kansas Union.

"I think you just start helping when something happens and don't stop to think about it," he said.
Shew said it was the first time he had lost a staff member, and he was working to deal with that on a personal basis as well as working with McGee's residents.
Plans for a memorial service for McGee in Lawrence were put on hold yesterday while McGee's husband, John, remained at Lawrence Memorial Hospital after having jaw surgery Monday.
Curry said McGee was accepting personal visits yesterday and was expected to be released today.
Amber Sellers, Wichita sophomore and member of Sigma Gamma Rho,
McGee's sorority, remained in fair condition yesterday at the University of Kansas Medical Center.
Deena Hardie, nontraditional student senator, shared memories of Shyra McGee yesterday, saying she probably would not have been a senator without McGee's influence.
"She was always up for anything with regard to non-traditional students," Hardie said. "She saw most problems as projects to be worked out, and we worked on them together."
The thing Hardie said she most remembered about McGee was how "she was always organizing something for someone else."
McGee's funeral will be held Saturday in Wichita.
Local businesses open elsewhere

The couple perfected the recipes, designed the logo and paid the bills to build the Lawrence-based business at 704 Massachusetts St. into a thriving restaurant.
Rudy's Pizzeria is Chad and Julie Glazer's baby.
Waxman Candles, 609 Massachusetts St.; Sylas and Maddy's Home Made Ice Cream Store, 1014 Massachusetts St.; and Bloom Bathr & Body, 704 Massachusetts St.; are among the other home-town companies that can be found outside Lawrence.
Three months ago, Steve and Sharon Scoggins, former employees of Rudy's, opened a Rudy's Pizzeria in Bellingham, Wash., becoming the newest Lawrence-based company to expand out of town.
But now Rudy has a little brother.
Each of these companies has quickly found that what's working well in downtown Lawrence can work well somewhere else.
Waxman has a second store in Lake View, Ill., Sylas & Maddy's Home Made Ice Cream Store can also be found in Olathe, and Bloom Bath & Body has begun to distribute its products in department stores nationwide.
"Everything at Rudy's came from my wife and 1 and 10 years of really hard work, so it would be weird to see all of our hard work in another store," he said. "It's not a big, corporate expansion or anything, though. It's a friend that wanted to open one up."
"The new store is doing really well." Chad Glazer said. "We know a lot of people who went to school here and then moved to the northwest so they're pretty excited about it."
However, when the Scoggins approached the Glazers about opening another store, Chad Glazer said he initially was apprehensive.
Bob Werts, owner of Waxman Candles, said he felt safe expanding his 30-year-old business to Chicago five years ago, for the same reasons the Glazers felt safe to expand — an old friend wanted to open a sister store.
Same Lawrence businesses that have moved outside Lawrence include:

Mark Smirli worked at Werts' store in Lawrence, and he made a deal with Werts to open a store in Lake View, Ill. Now five years old, the store is doing great business, especially among KU alumni.
"Many of the people who are excited about the Chicago store are the kids who graduate and move there," Werts said. "Mark, the manager there, was telling me about how excited people were."

Israeli vote causes mixed reactions
By Danny Phillips
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
By Danny Phillips
Students and faculty at the University of Kansas, who had an invested interest in the outcome of the Israeli election for prime minister yesterday, had opinions as varied as their nationalities when Israeli television reported unofficially that Lukid party leader Ariel Sharon had won in a landslide.
Susan Shafer-Landau, director of KU Hillel Foundation, a campus organization for Jewish students, said she was cautious about the outcome. Exit polls predicted Sharon had defeated current Prime Minister Ehud Barak by an almost 20 percent margin.
"It's sort of ironic and sad," she said. "Palestinians had the best opportunity for peace with Barak."
Shafer-Landau said the result of the election was a symbol of Israel's frustration with Barak, who was elected in 1999 with high expectations of reaching a peace deal with Palestinians but was never able to arrive at a compromise.
Israeli Arabs are traditionally more loyal to Palestinians than to the state of Israel, said Shafer-Landau. They were major supporters of Barak 18 months ago, but during yesterday's special election many of them stayed away from the polls.
Not everyone on campus shares her optimism, however.
Now with Sharon, a former general, seemingly ready to take power, Shafer-Landau said she would try to remain an optimist and not think this outcome would lead to war.
Raja Abu-Jabr, a Palestinian graduate student from Deir Balah, Gaza, said she was worried about her family, who still lives in Gaza, now that Sharon is the new prime minister.
She said she viewed Sharon as a "war symbol" and blames him for the massacre of Palestinian Arab refugees in Lebanon in the early 1980s. An Israeli commission found the former general indirectly responsible for the attack.
Deborah Gerner, associate professor of political science, used to live in the West Bank and is a Palestinian sympathizer. She said Sharon would be a lot harder to deal with than Barak because the Lukid party leader was less willing to compromise on territory or Jerusalem, which both sides claim as their capital.
But Gerner also said leading up to the election, Sharon did seem to be more pragmatic and less ideological than in the past.
Hillel member Igor Shkolnik, Overland Park senior, has relatives living in Israel and said he was glad Sharon won the election because he felt the new leader would take a strategically tough stand against the Palestinian leaders.
"Even though peace is important, I think peace is not an end in itself," Shkolnik said.
While he believes some concessions are necessary to achieve lasting peace, he's also pleased Sharon won't offer as much to the Palestinians as Barak did.
"Irael has been pushed over too many times." Shkolnik said.
Sara Rubin, Elgin, Ill., junior, has been to Israel three times and also felt Sharon was the best choice. She believes "solidarity" will define Israel under Sharon's leadership and she was glad he was uncompromising on the status of Jerusalem.
Rami Earwish, a Palestinian junior from Jordan, called Sharon an "Arab hater" and also holds him responsible for the refugee massacre. He said the new prime minister would "kill whatever chances of peace were left."

Institute hires director for research experience
The University of Kansas has named Steve Warren the new director of the Institute for Life Span Studies. Warren, director of the KU Mental Retardation Research Center since 1999, will replace Steve Schroeder, who will return to full-time research.
James Roberts, associate vice chancellor for research, said Warren's background of research and service would benefit the institute.
Warren, whose research focuses on development that must occur before a child can speak or write, said collaboration between specialists in human behavior and biological sciences would become increasingly vital with the growing connection between those fields.
"The advances made in neuroscience and genetics are creating lots of opportunities for behavioral scientists and biological scientists to focus on the same problem and work together." he said.
Warren also will be sworn in as president of the American Association on Mental Retardation in June.
English center director leaves to work in D.C.
The Institute for Life Span Studies generated an estimated $14.4 million in research income in fiscal year 2000, the most for any KU institute.
Elizabeth "Betty" Soppelsa, director of the Applied English Center since 1980, will leave the University of Kansas to work for a national education association.
Soppelaş has been on unpaid leave since July serving as deputy executive director for member relations at NAFSA/Association of International Educators in Washington, D.C.
She will now have the position permanently.
Seibel said Soppelsa transformed the center by helping to improve hiring practices, develop cross-cultural counseling and revamp the AEC English proficiency test.
Charles Seibel, the center's current director, will take over after her retirement on Saturday. June 30.
"She brought a lot of recognition to the center," he said.
The Applied English Center has offered English language classes to

Beginning a week of selling his tax plan. Bush was visiting a Washington-area small business yesterday to spotlight his argument that his proposal would spark greater economic growth.
WASHINGTON — Congressional Republicans and lobbyists said they liked President George W. Bush's proposed tax cut, but they won't back down from plans to add their own priorities.
He planned to send Congress an outline of his package tomorrow, and it was expected to mirror the $1.6 trillion, 10-year tax reduction program he offered during his campaign for the White House.
Wiretap allows access to forwarded e-mail
WASHINGTON — Before you forward that private message from your boss to several co-workers, consider the possibility that he may hear about it.
Thanks to a newly publicized security hole in major e-mail programs, your outgoing messages may be tapped. Using a small piece of invisible programming code in an e-mail message, an e-mail's original sender can get copies every time the message is forwarded, including the comments added to the message by its recipients.
This e-mail wiretap could be used to get off-color remarks from company or governmental officials, or used by a spamming company to gather email addresses.

WASHINGTON — The election that wouldn't quit is now begetting at least a half-dozen books recounting the recount and the chaotic Florida filings on Election Night.

NAIROBI, Kenya — After months in a stalemate, senior Ethiopian and Eritrean officials agreed yesterday to set up a U.N.-patrolled buffer zone in an area where the two neighbors fought a bloody border war for 21.5 years.
Ethiopia will begin withdrawing Monday, and Eritrea will move 16 miles from Ethiopia's new positions Wednesday. Feb. 17, according to the plan. The Ethiopian army is to be out of the zone by Monday, Feb. 26, and Eritrea's forces are to pull back by Saturday, March 3.

the possibility of a closed-circuit television broadcast.
The death chamber at the federal prison in Terre Haute, Ind., where McVeigh is scheduled to die by lethal injection on Wednesday. May 16, has eight seats for witnesses for the victims.
The April 19, 1995, bombing of the federal building killed 168 people and injured more than 500.
In January, the government sent out about 1,100 letters to bombing survivors and victims' relatives asking if they want to watch the execution.
The number of responses was disclosed yesterday by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
Martha Ridley, whose daughter Kathy was killed in the bombing, said she faxed a response 35 minutes after getting the letter from the government.
She said she wanted to see the execution mostly because of comments made by McVeigh's mother, who told a TV station in 1999 that Oklahomaans affected by the attack should get on with their lives.
"That ticked me off, and I'm being very polite when I say ticked," said Ridley, who is raising Kathy's daughters, ages 6 and 10. "I'm raising two girls who will never see their mother again, and he has been self-centered about

Paul Heath and seven other bombing survivors have asked attorney Karen Howick to go to court if necessary to give victims a closed-circuit telecast of the execution.
Howick said there was a good chance the government would put the execution on closed-circuit television. She said that she had found no precedent for such a telecast but that there was no law barring one.

Art exhibit shows new perspective

The pictures represent both the triumphs and tragedies of African-American history. The first depicts a slave running to freedom. A model shows a present day African American running from the police back into the past.
"Though slavery is not outwardly legal, in a sense, we, as a people, are still running, sometimes forward and sometimes backward," said the artist, J.R. Roland, a Grandview, Mo., senior, and vice president of Kappa Alpha Psi.
black history month
Roland created these for the "Walk th rough History" display. The exhibit, open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. tomorrow in the Parlor Room on the fifth floor of the Kansas Union. will provide a sense of history of the African-American community.
The story begins in Africa following slaves to the United States through the Civil War and the Civil Rights Movement.
While these are the most prominent events, Kappa Alpha Psi, a historically Black fraternity, will present everything in between in celebration of Black History Month.
"I didn't know so many kings and queens existed in our history," said Conway Ekpo, Lawrence senior and treasurer of the fraternity. "This is not what we learn about in history class. We learn that we were slaves, but we never learn where we came from before we were slaves. We never learn about the great inventors and people in our past."
Along the tour, people will learn about the creative past, which has led to more than 70 inventions.
L. A. Burr invented the lawn mower in 1889. Garrett Morgan conceived the idea for the stoplight in 1923. In 1971, Henry Sampson changed communication with the creation of the cellular phone.
"I hope people will learn something about African Americans they didn't know," Ekpo said. "Our history is American history, but it isn't a side that is predominantly shown growing up."
While walking through history, people will receive a taste of African-American music, such as jazz and hip-hop, and historical movies. Ekpo said it would give visitors a sense of their heritage and culture.
After spending months compiling the data and raising money to print it, the fraternity wrote "A Long Story" that chronicles the history of African Americans. Ekpo said.
It will give out more than 500 free copies to visitors of the exhibit.

'A DROP OF BLOOD COULD DO YOU IN'
Ethnicity focus of panel
I will be there. I'll have you.

Doualress junior, and facilitator Trina Ramirez listen. Photo by Aaron Showalter/KANSAN
Christopher Philadelphia senior, first became aware of his ethnic complexity in the fourth grade when a classmate asked him if he was white.
The fair-skinned Haydel, half Puerto Rican and half African American, said he didn't understand what the student meant, so he went home to ask his parents about his background.
"From that point on," said Haydel, "I've tended to engulf myself in those cultures."
Haydel, along with two other students, shared their experiences and difficulties growing up with mixed heritage last night at the Diversity Dialogue Series titled "Race, Ethnicity & Culture: A Drop of Blood Could Do You In."
More than 100 students attended the event at the Kansas Union.
Haydel said he planned to become a physician in an inner city area after he graduates, so he can work with African Americans and Puerto Ricans.
"Money is not an issue," he said.
What is an issue, however, is that while most of his racial peers accept him, Haydel said there were a few people from both cultures who didn't think he was African-American or Hispanic "enough" to fit in.
"A lot of Hispanics feel that speaking Spanish is vital to be a part of the Spanish culture," he said.
Panel speaker Jessica Woydziak, Douglass junior, is one-quarter Japanese, but as a child she said she was raised white.
That is one of the forces that drove him to learn the language now, he said. Haydel also recognizes that speaking Spanish will be vital if he wants to work as a doctor in the Puerto Rican community.
It wasn't until a childhood birthday when Woydziak's friends began to inquire why her grandmother "talked that way" that she began to develop a
curiosity about her Japanese ethnicity.
Despite that interest, Woydziak said discrimination from her peers growing up prevented her from learning more about her culture. She recalled a time in school when some girls called her a "Jap."
"Here I am, not really knowing that much about my culture," she said, "and I'm trying to learn it, but if I learn it and start acting and doing things in that culture, then I might not be accepted."
Even when Woydiak came to the University, she said she didn't feel "Japanese enough" to join the Asian American Student Union. It took a friend to convince her to join the organization.
Now she has a good working relationship with the president and actively pursues knowledge about both her own cultures and others.
Yvette Washington, Tuba City, Ark., junior, was the third panelist of the night. She's full-blooded Native American, and because of her family's mixed tribal background, is only half
Navaho.
She said that was an important distinction, because different degrees of Native-American blood determined if someone could be enrolled into a tribe.
Each tribe can set its own standard. For example, a person has to be at least a quarter Navaho to be enrolled in that tribe, and the number of members a tribe has determines how much federal funding they receive.
However, Washington said that Native Americans with diverse tribal backgrounds could also run into some problems. Not only can the government deny funding in certain situations, but some children of mixed backgrounds can't be enrolled in tribal schools.
While the three panelists continue to learn more about their diverse backgrounds, sometimes the raw experiences of the past are relived.
An emotional Haydel said just a few weeks ago he and his African-American girlfriend were talking to each other with another African-American student nearby. When Haydel left,
the African-American male asked Haydel's girlfriend "Do you need to find yourself?"
The student apparently had a problem with Haydel's girlfriend dating a "White" person.
"That sort of thing hurts me," Haydel said as he choked up. "If I was White, what would it matter?"
"This is where most of the learning takes place," said Santos Nunez, program director of the Multicultural Resource Center.
After the panel discussion was over, members of the crowd split into smaller groups to talk about what they had heard and how they felt.
Each group was led by a faculty facilitator from the School of Social Welfare.
The panel discussion was the first of three diversity dialogues scheduled for the semester. It was sponsored by the Multicultural Resource Center, the Office of Multicultural Affairs and the KU Coalition Against Racism and Discrimination.

Lawrence businesses franchising
Continued from page 1A
Ben Johnson, Shawne sophomore, said, while he thought it was only natural Lawrence-based stores would expand, it would be hard for any franchise store to duplicate the original's character.
"I don't think the original companies will lose their feel, but the added-on companies won't be able to 100 percent reproduce the feel of the original," Johnson said. "For example, you have to quantify what makes Waxman in Lawrence so cool, and if they do a good job of that then they'll be fine."
To combat a loss of "feel," Chad Glazer helped the Scoggins produce the new Rudy's every step of the way.
"I did all the business projections for Steve and Sharon," Chad Glazer said. "And I flew out there and helped them before they opened up."
Johnson said he thought the Bellingham Rudy's could more easily keep the original's feel because of the small-town atmosphere, which he thinks is an important element in popular Lawrence-based companies.
"You can't produce a small-town feel," Johnson said. "You can get a faux small-town feel, but that doesn't fool anybody unless they want to be fooled."
Meanwhile, Chad Glazer said he'd had other offers from former employees to expand the Rudv's empire.
"We have a friend in northern California who worked for us for a long time who wants to open one up." Chad Glazer said. "And we also have another good friend in Chicago whose been asking questions about opening one."
Werts said while he had no immediate plans to open another Waxman, his customers shouldn't be too worried about the company's growth.
"Waxman is a Lawrence thing," Werts said. "We're still a tiny, tiny business. You have to grow or you stagnate."

Industrial design students work on NASA project
By Ali Brox
writer@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
Julia Finnegan is going to cyberspace to do research on outer space.
Finnegan, Kansas City, Mo., senior, is one of five industrial design students collaborating with the School of Engineering on a NASA research project. The project, University Earth System Science Program, involves launching satellites for earth observation.
She is taking part in a seminar class designed to make the University of Kansas more competitive in the NASA proposal evaluation process. The focus of the seminar is the outreach aspect of the proposal. The outreach part of the program is crucial because it educates the public, Finnegan said. In fact, outreach is so important that the Kansas Space Grant Consortium provides tuition money for many of the students in the seminar.
"Offering scholarship money is a great way to jump start a research program," said Mark Ewing, associate professor of aerospace engineering.
The seminar class is generating a Web site to fulfill the outreach
requirement.
"We are learning the technology through the seminar and then designing the Web site," Finnegan said. "Industrial design is a broad field that works with engineers a lot. This is a good opportunity to see what engineers do." Plus, it fulfills a class requirement."
Ewing said the site would enable people to use information from remote sensing to verify a hypothesis or to take an image from a satellite and then make inferences. For example, elementary schools could use the Web site to record the temperature every day.
The University made a draft proposal in 1999 but Ewing designed
the seminar class with a December 2001 proposal in mind. If the proposal were accepted, the University's emphasis would be global temperature changes.
KU students would use the satellite to look at ice sheet elevation in Greenland and Antarctica. The observations would allow students to predict how much sea levels will rise and where and at what speed the ice sheets will move.
The satellite would also be used to observe trends in vegetation or carbon accumulation. When most people see a forest, they see trees, but some scientists see a forest and see tons of carbon, Ewing said. The change in carbon accumulation combined with the ice sheet observations would allow for long-term global climate models.
He described the underlying theme of the project as an opportunity to get people other than engineers involved in NASA research.
Sometimes research can have a scary connotation, and originally engineers would do the engineering and the design students the designing, Ewing said.
"Through the seminar we have found students want cross over," he said. "The design students are interested in the content of the Web site too."

Editorial board: Student should be punished for misleading voters
Professional schools have right to protect integrity
professional misconduct should be punishable in the honor codes of professional schools.
Some professional schools at the University of Kansas have honor codes that serve as rulebooks for academic misconduct. These codes punish such actions as cheating, misrepresentation and unauthorized collaboration. The codes play the same role in professional schools as the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities plays in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences. It seems obvious that a professional school, in addition to punishing academic misconduct, should have the right and responsibility to establish a standard of professional conduct through its honor code.
The case of Peter Hunter, a second-year KU law student who ran for the Kansas Legislature as a Republican in the 2000 general election, illustrates the need for honor codes. Last month, the FBI found Hunter had been responsible for phone calls to several registered Democrats reminding them to take their voter registration cards to the polls.
That was false and misleading information aimed at suppressing votes, but Hunter didn't technically commit a crime, and he will not be prosecuted. There is no formal charge for what Hunter did because Kansas' election laws do not say it's illegal to distribute false information. The Legislature now is reviewing two bills that would make such actions illegal — either as a high-level misdemeanor or a low-level felony.
Hunter will also not face any punishment from the School of Law. The school's honor code does not address professional or legal forms of misconduct.
Hunter, who has admitted to and apologized for making the election-eve calls, might not deserve any more punishment than the humiliation he has already experienced. But the School of Law and other professional schools should be concerned about their students' professional conduct
Dissent: Student's actions are rightly outside University's scope
they should,
unter's reflect on the
city of the school.
A code outlining the professional conduct
expected of students wouldn't place any
undue restrictions on those students. If
there is any institution that should
have the right to expect ethical and
professional behavior, it is the
school that trains students about
our profession and the ethics
needed to practice it.

STUDENTS
Melia Moss for the editorial board
"limited to actions by law students which take place in or about the Law School building or which occur at any function or academic activity conducted with Law School sanction."
This language in the code limiting the scope of the honor code implies that the drafters of the code did not intend for the school to be able to punish students for activities not related to the school. There are good reasons why the code is limited to actions that directly affect only the school.
In this case, the school should not regulate what should be governed by legislature. Both the Kansas Legislature and United States Congress now are considering bills that would make actions such as Hunter's illegal.
In addition, expanding the scope of the school's honor code, as well as any other professional school's code, to include unethical actions outside of the school would prove unworkable. Here, the act committed by the student was clearly unethical, although not illegal. How would the school craft a policy that punishes breaches of ethical conduct when that conduct is not criminal behavior?
The simple answer is that it can't do so fairly. With differing views on what is ethical, especially in politics, it would come down to relying on judgment calls. That means any new policy likely would be enforced arbitrarily, and many violations would slip through the cracks and go unpunished.
Illustration by Kyle Ramsey/KANSAN
This is not to say that people engaging in unethical conduct will not face consequences. Professional licenses are not granted to just anyone. The committees that do so examine the moral fitness of the candidate, which includes actions that the school couldn't necessarily punish. Conduct such as Hunter's will not go unnoticed by a bar examination committee, the group that decides whether to grant a license to practice law. Hunter has embarrassed himself and created a black cloud that will follow him through his career.
That is punishment enough.
Perspective
Kansan tries to follow readers' label preferences
The issue is anything but black and white — or maybe I should say Black and White.
Black has been capitalized since the late 1980s.
Our stylebook, which lays out the rules the Kansan follows in its content, says Black is acceptable "when referring to people of African ancestry, but African-American is preferable."
Although barely noticeable, the difference — one of just a couple capital letters — is important at the Kansan. Adjectives should be capitalized when referring to race and used sparingly even then.
said Tom Eblen, Kansan general manager and news adviser. White started being capitalized only this semester, a decision made by editor Lori O'Toole.
The Kansan started capitalizing Black when an editor wanted to improve relations with African Americans, Eblen said. Later, when attempts
It didn't make sense. Why did we capitalize Black but not White for more than a decade? And why, in 2001, do we capitalize either? It seems capital letters draw attention to a difference that shouldn't be that big a deal.
Leita Schultes readers' representative readerse@kansan.com
were made to revert to lowercase, the changes were not well received. O'Toole decided to capitalize both Black and White to make the words equal.
The stylebook says that racial identification should not be included in any story unless such a reference is clearly relevant to the story. So normally we don't have to use it.
But more than understanding a nit-picky style rule. I began to understand the danger of labels.
But recent stories about minority recruitment, the Chinese New Year or Black History Month have
been helped by revealing the race of our sources.
been helped by revealing the age of our sources.
And that's where the trouble starts. Do we say African American or person of color? Native American or indigenous? Hispanic or Latino?
And how do we know that the label we pick won't offend someone? We don't. In fact, we can probably be assured that it will offend someone.
Last semester, I wrote a story about Queers and Allies. I referred to some of my sources as members of the "queer" community, a word that, during editing, was channeled to "homosexual."
The change was made with the best intentions, but it offended some people who read the story. Homosexual, they said, does not include bisexual or transsexual, and by eliminating the word "queer," we marginalized their community.
Point well taken: The stylebook has been changed. It now explains the term, saying, "Although 'queer' was offensive in the past, it is a term in transition. It is not considered as offensive by younger generations (which are our primary audience)."
Figuring out style rules and labels is a tough job, and Eblen said every editor had struggled to grasp the issue. No doubt there have been some mistakes. But our intentions have been good.
Newspapers have to be flexible and change with the times, O'Toole said. Eblen agreed, pointing out that in the 1950s, "Negro" was the preferred term and "Black" would never have appeared in a newspaper. Today, just the opposite is true.
The rules can change, she said, but the first step is for readers and sources to let the Kansan know what labels they prefer.
The stylebook exists so that our stories reflect a sensitivity to different races and cultures, O'Toole said, and so that every rule is there for a reason.

Letters to the Editor Editorial relies on 'alien' political theory to promote cause of abortion rights
The Kansan's Jan. 24 editorial regarding President Bush, abortion, and the Roe decision ("Bush already showing he will threaten Roe") warns President Bush to "remember this: It is unconstitutional to restrict a woman's right to an abortion" and goes on to criticize Bush for disagreeing with this "underlying but unwritten" right. This argument that a president cannot challenge the court's interpretation of the Constitution – is alien to American political theory and tradition.
In 1861, a new president took office. He also had a bone to pick with a ruling Supreme Court decision, one that found owning slaves to be an "unwritten, underlying" constitutional right. Operating consistent with the Kansan's separation of powers theory, Lincoln should have simply rolled over and let Dred Scott stand without challenge. Fortunately, Lincoln knew that it was a president's responsibility to stand up to a Court that substituted its own will for the rule of law, under the auspices of finding some "underlying" right.
Finally, the Kansan argues that Bush's belief in preserving unborn life contradicts his goal that all children would be welcomed into life and protected by law, apparently on the grounds that many of the women who seek abortions are poor. What we really have is not a contradiction, but a difference in philosophies. Bush (and the pro-life cause in general) wants a society in which these unborn babies and their mothers are aided by a supportive, loving, civil society consisting of churches, synagogues, charities and neighbors. The Kansan evidently prefers to defend the hollow "right" to destroy the unborn, while pretending it is a victory for their mothers.

University should devote resources to clearing Stouffer Place sidewalks
This letter is in regard to why the sidewalks and steps at Stouffer Place cannot be cleared of snow and ice after a snowstorm. By leaving virtually all of the sidewalks and stairs covered with snow and ice, long after all of the other sidewalks at the University of Kansas have been cleared, the University is creating a very hazardous situation and allowing it to persist.
We are now on our fifth or sixth storm of the season, and the University still is leaving the snow and ice on the walk
Monday morning, after I watched a young mother carrying her infant child try to negotiate the slippery sidewalk and steps in front of her apartment. I had to ponder the reasons for this situation while I walked to class. I came up with the following multiple-choice test (with hints) for the reason or reasons for the persistence of this negligent situation:
ways around Stouffer Place apartments. The one time the sidewalks were cleared was at least three days after the snow quit falling.
1. The University is unaware that it snows at Stouffer Place. (Stouffer Place is off the beaten path for the KU administrators.)
2. The University forget that people live in these apartments. (But they do cash my rent check every month.)
3. The University does not have the resources (money or people) to clear the sidewalks and steps at Stouffer Place. (But they do have the resources to clear the bike paths on the west side of Iowa by 8:30 a.m. after every snowstorm.)
4. Clearing the snow is the responsibility of the residents of Stouffer Place and not the University. (I have noticed several residents who have done this, so maybe this is the correct answer.)
5. The little green tractors that they use to plow snow else where do not fit on the sidewalks and they won't go down the steps. (To clear the steps and narrow sidewalks would require old-fashioned manual snow shovels, and maybe there is a shortage of them.)
6. None of the above. (The University just won't clear certain sidewalks, and we should wait for the sun to come out for snow removal. This is the status quo.)
Maybe someone from the University can select the correct answer and inform the people who live in Stouffer Place why we cannot get the sidewalks and steps cleared off after snowstorms.

Law school bears no responsibility for student's unethical behavior
The Kansan used better judgment than did the local newspaper's editors in its coverage of the Pete Hunter matter last week ("Giving false election info could become an illegal act," Thursday). While the local newspaper headlines pointed fingers at the law school, the Kansan stayed focused on the real problem and proposed solutions. While the local paper permitted a selfappointed spokesman to speak unchallenged on behalf of all Green Hall, the Kansan ran a balanced article by including Professor Webb Hecker's sensible analysis.
Mr. Hunter has certainly "disgraced" himself by his conduct. He may have "disgraced" his family or those who associated themselves with his campaign.
But contrary to Mr. Holstin's claim, his actions have not "disgraced" the law school." Talk of "disgrace" suggests that the school possesses some sort of collective conscience and that it is culpable for Mr. Hunter's conduct. Those suggestions are wrong.
The law school is not a private association or a church or (despite the fundraising metaphors) a partnership or a family. It is a state agency that must admit and retain students on the basis of measurable criteria.
The admissions office cannot speculate on each applicant's latent character. The administration cannot exercise parental responsibility over each of 500 adult students. Faculty cannot redirect each student's moral inclinations. New students do not take a fraternity-style oath to answer for one another.
As a state agency, the law school — practically and constitutionally — can only respond to misconduct with due process; it cannot reshape each student's conscience. Therefore, Mr. Holstin has no grounds to invite guilt by association.
Mr. Hunter acted for himself, not the law school, just as Mr. Holstein properly speaks for himself, not the law school. Mr. Holstein may have simply been careless with his words, but if he really meant "disgrace," he improperly invokes collective blame when it is clear, even to Mr. Hunter, that this was individual conduct. I was embarrassed both to learn of Mr. Hunter's deceit and to read about Mr. Holstein's blustering in Topeka — but I have no control or influence over either gentleman's conduct and therefore have no cause to be "disgraced" by either. Nor does anyone else associated with the law school.

Columnist's argument supporting conflict ignores damage of hate-based actions
Shaun Peterson is wrong ("Bush's promise of unity ignores human nature," yesterday). Conflict is good assuming it produces a finer product or concept. It is not good if it pits people against people in the fits of personal hate.
Furthermore, conflict is not good for the economy. Let's say Shaun owns the widget store on Massachusetts Street. Say the "down with widget club" throws a rock through his display window. Shaun would have to buy a new window, admittedly giving the window company business. But Shaun was probably going to spend the window money on new lights or better widgets.
Either way, his money was going to contribute to the economy; hate or conflict just directed it in a way he was not expecting.

KU opposes proposed $1.5 million budget cut
By Cassio Furtado
writer@kanson.com
Kansan staff writer
Gov. Bill Graves proposed a $1.5 million budget cut for the University of Kansas at the start of the year, but University officials said they would fight the reduction.
Chancellor Bob Hemenway expressed disappointment at the cut and described it as "a big surprise" in a Jan. 29 e-mail to faculty members.
"There is both good news and bad news in the recommendations, but I have some hope that the governor and the legislature will be open to alternative proposals," Hemenway stated.
Lindy Eakin, associate provost,
said Hemenway would speak to the
Kansas Senate Ways and Means
Committee Tuesday in an effort to
persuade the Legislature to block
the $1,551,129 proposed budget cut.
She said if the cut was approved by the Legislature, the chancellor and the provost would decide where to trim the University's expenses.
"But we hope they can restore it," Fakin said.
Hemenway said the Board of Regents was committed to improving salaries for faculty and also for unclassified employees.
He also said the Regents wanted to give unclassified employees — employees who work in administrative positions but don't teach — the same raises they give faculty.
Hemenway said Graves provided a 1.5 percent increase effective in July for both faculty and unclassified employees, followed by an
BUDGET CUT
What happened? Gov. Bill Graves proposed a $1.5 million budget cut for the University, to take effect in July.
What it means: If the backpack is approved by the Legislature, KU officials will decide where to cut the University's budget.
What's next: Chancellor Robert Hemenway will speak at the Kansas Senate Ways and Means Committee Tuesday in an effort to persuade the Legislature to block the cut.
additional 1.5 percent increase on Jan. 1.
But in his most recent proposal, Graves recommended an $8.4 million increase in state funds across the Regents system for faculty only. That increase is mandated by Kansas Senate Bill 345, passed in May 1999, which set aside $26 million to increase salaries for teaching faculty around the state. That money stands apart from the University's operating budget.
As a result, faculty salaries at the University will increase by an additional 3 percent, totaling an average increase of 6 percent by the close of fiscal year 2002, Hemenway said. But the salaries of unclassified employees will increase only 3 percent.
tenance or as custodians — Graves recommended 1.5 percent adjustment in July and again on Jan. 1.
"On balance, I believe the governor's proposal for faculty is positive, but I was disappointed that no special consideration was given to non-faculty unclassified employees." Hemenway said in the e-mail. For classified staff, which includes those who work in moths.
For classified staff — which includes those who work in main-
Mike Auchard, president of Classified Senate, which represents nonfaculty staff members in University government, said the raise wasn't enough.
"Just a 3 percent cost-of-living adjustment is totally inadequate," he said. "There is a disparate treatment given to faculty in this institution."
Hemenway stated in the e-mail that the University had requested $321,807 to finance utilities and operating costs for operation of Joseph R. Pearson Hall, but the governor provided no funding for the request.
Hemenway also said the University had sought $1.18 million for costs resulting from natural gas price increases. Graves' budget recommendations didn't provide for that item either.
Jessica Bankston, Student Legislative Awareness Board legislative director and Albuquerque, N.M., junior, said the Regents universities' request for extra money to pay for utilities created a problem for Graves.
"Once you give extra money to one university, it is harder to justify not giving to other institutions," she said.
Hemenway said that overall, the recommendations had both good and bad news.
"It would be fair to characterize this budget proposal as positive in some ways, but as a major disappointment in other ways," Hemenway said.

'Black gold' to help students
180-acre gift will be used for scholarships
By Cassio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A piece of land left to the University of Kansas will be transformed into scholarships, KU officials say.
Theresa Klinkenberg, University director, said the 180 acres in Pawnee County, left to the University by donor Dorris Fair Carey through an estate, wouldn't be used to supply oil and gas to the University.
LAND GIFT
She said the University had already taken bids and determined that Hutchinson-based J Fred Hambright, Inc., will explore the land.
Klinkenberg said the amount of the scholarships would be determined by Carey's will, and the total number would be linked to the money the University could get from leases and exploration of the land. Klinkenberg
What's happening? The University has decided to lease 180 acres of land in Pawnee County it had received through an estate
What it means: The University will give out scholarships from the money it gets by leasing the land and from possible oil and gas exploration.
What's next: If the company the University has leased the land to finds oil or gas, the University will get 12.5 percent of the money gained from the exploration.
said it had not been determined how the scholarships would be distributed.
Klinkenberg said the University would be compensated for 12.5 percent of any oil or natural gas found.
Lynn Watney, senior scientist at the Kansas Geological Services and executive director of the KU Energy Research Center, said that Pawnee County was a very productive area.
"That region has quite a bit of oil and gas," he said.
Watney said it would be a great opportunity if the University could receive funds coming from the exploration of oil and gas in the region, but added that not all regions of Pawnee County had the same levels of oil and gas productivity.
"It depends exactly where it is," he said.
In Texas, universities had a practice of exploring the land donated to them for supplying oil and gas to their campuses, Watney said.
"But this raises several legal and money issues," he said. He said he wasn't sure if that same kind of exploration could be done here.
Watney also said that the fact Pawnee County was located at a distance of 250 miles from Lawrence made it difficult for an exploration that would benefit the University in terms of oil and gas.
"Maybe it's just better to let a company explore," Watley said.

Police search for felon's gun source
Loopholes in state federal gun laws exposed in killings
The Associated Press
MELROSE PARK, Ill. — A day after a factory rampage left five people dead, police spent yesterday trying to learn how the gunman, a convicted felon, was able to acquire the weapons he used.
ees, one of them critically.
William D. Baker, 66, killed four people at the International Truck and Engine Corp. plant Monday before committing suicide. The attack also wounded four employ-
Baker had been scheduled to report to prison yesterday for taking part in an engine-theft ring at the plant in 1993-94.
He used a .38-caliber pistol and an assault rifle in the attack, police Chief Vito Scavo said. Police said they didn't know how or when he got the weapons, though a shotgun and hunting rifle he also carried were bought legally in 1993.
Special Agent Thomas Ahern of the federal Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco & Firearms said Baker's guns were being traced.
Kirsten Curley, representative for the Illinois Council Against
Handgun Violence, said the killings exposed the many loopholes in state and federal gun laws.
Convicted felons are not allowed to own firearms, but there is no mechanism for making sure they surrender their guns. State police usually send a letter telling felons with gun licenses to surrender the licenses, but that didn't happen in Baker's case, state police Capt. Dave Sanders said.
Baker was fired in 1995. He pleaded guilty to a federal theft conspiracy charge last June, admitting he helped steal diesel engines and components worth $195,400 from the plant.

Packed Daisy Hill buses cause safety concerns
By Amanda Beglin
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
At 2:20 p.m. on a Wednesday, hundreds of Daisy Hall-bound students migrate toward the bus as it arrives at Snow Hall.
The bus fills to the front windshield with passengers and backpacks — a spectacle to anyone who sees it — and an annoyance to the people it passes at later stops when it has no remaining space.
These brimming buses are a problem, said Holly Krebs, campus transportation coordinator.
Krebs said the large bus capacity was 70 passengers, but Bob Gibbons, a bus driver for the McCollum route, said he recorded nearly 80 passengers on his bus after it left Snow Hall at 2:33 p.m. yesterday.
Krebs and Gibbons agreed bus drivers could use their own discretion when loading students onto a bus, but Krebs said student safety was the most important consideration.
"If a driver sees they've picked up everyone from a stop but one, they can decide for themselves if they have enough room," Krebs said. "We've made an effort this school
year not to fill up buses quite as tight. We're trying to keep people behind the yellow line. If a driver stops suddenly, people could get hurt."
Krebs said student safety wasn't
lust in the hands of bus drivers.
"If students are considerate when they ride the bus - they don't push on or they grab a hand rail - things would be a lot smoother." Krebs said.
Gibbons agreed, adding one bus hazard didn't involve passengers but the students not riding buses.
"Lots of people will drive up and park at the fountain to let people out of their cars," Gibbons said. "They
Gibbons said his passengers were generally cooperative when riding his bus at peak hours.
don't realize how dangerous that is for us. They should be more cautious."
"I never have any trouble seeing around anyone." Gibbons said. "The students right in front of the door will lean back or move anyway when I look in their direction."
Krebs said the Lawrence Bus Company, who contracts with KU on Wheels, had supervisors follow buses every day, monitoring their safety in the event of an accident, she said, the contract that KU on
Wheels had with the bus company would protect KU on Wheels from liabilities.
But safety isn't the first thing or many students minds while they are waiting for the bus. A bus stopping at all would be a welcome occurrence to some Jayhawker Towers residents.
Amika Glikey, Wichita sophomore, is a resident of Jayhawker Towers, where she said catching a bus to Jayhawk Boulevard amid the morning student rush to class was frustrating at best.
Gilkey said seven or eight loaded buses passed her bus stop every morning without stopping, irritating
ner and the more than 10 people she waits with.
"I just can't catch a bus between 8 and 8:30." Gilkey said. "The only bus that stops usually for us is an 8:22 bus. My 8:30 class is at Wescow and I never get there on time."
Because of this, Gilkey said, she arrived at her bus stop at 7:45 a.m. when she was sure she could get a ride.
"I get mad, but I know everyone has to get to class," Glikey said. "And I'm not going to get mad at the bus drivers when I get on because they actually stopped."

Cell phone use raises health questions
By Livi Regenbaum
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Jessica Hanson talks on her cell phone every day.
The St. Louis, Mo., junior said she did not worry about the potential health hazards of cell phones.
"If I am going to get cancer, it won't be from a cell phone," Hanson said.
George Carlo, public health scientist and founder of the Health Risk Management Group, said there were 100 million cell phone users in the United States and 500 million worldwide.
term users of cell phones. It states that high-level users used the phones for an average of 15 minutes per day and no three years. eye
The health hazards of cell phones has caused national debate amongst scientists and the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet Association.
Travis Larson, representative for the Cellular Telecommunications and Internet association, said that researchers affirmed that there were no health hazards from the use of cell phones.
Derek Osborn, co-owner of Simply Wireless, 4651 W. Sixth St., said that there was an increase in the number of students purchasing cell phones, and he did not think cell phones were a health hazard.
"Research has shown at this time that there is no health threat from cell phone use," he said.
The National Cancer Institute reported Thursday that there was no association found between cellular phone use and risk of brain tumors at this time.
However, the institute also reported that the study from 1994 to 1988 covering 800 adult brain tumor cases did not include long-
Carlo said he was concerned about the health risks of cell phones. He has been the chairman of the Wireless Technology Research Lab in Washington, D.C. which has conducted 50 different studies on the health risks of cell phones from 1994 to 1999. The studies were conducted on animals as well as on humans.
"We have found through research that there is genetic damage from radiation from the antenna of cell phones," he said. "This shows that there are clear indications of health risks due to cell phones according to studies of people who use cell phones."
Carlo said the CTIA has been unethical in its denial of the health risks of cell phones.

"CTIA is lying." he said. "We have found very strong evidence in studies showing the increase of brain tumors and melanoma in the
Larson said that CTIA was dedicated to its customers concerning safety of cell phones.
"CTIA and the wireless industry are dedicated to the safety of our customers," he said. "We are also open to independent research. We will continue to affirm that there is no public health threat from cell phones."
Gina Wilson, Parsons junior, said she did not worry about the health hazards of cell phones, and she talked for an hour every day on it.
On the other hand, Baran Ersoy,
Istamul, Turkey, senior, said he

Jessica Gegg was lucky.
Although the Philadelphia senior's purse and $140 worth of gift certificates were stolen, all of her items were recovered within two days.
Because gift certificates look like anonymous credit cards instead of paper certificates with a person's name on them, using a stolen gift card is easier than ever.
During the past two weeks, the KU Public Safety Office reported several gift certificates stolen from KU students' purses. However, the purse was usually the goal — the certificates just an added bonus.
So what happens to gift certificates when they are stolen from their rightful owners?
Danny Thurman, a Gap customer service employee, said gift certificates were no different than cash.
"It states on the card that it's no replaceable if it's lost of stolen. Thurman said. "If you lose it, it' like dropping a $10 bill on the ground."
Asking customers for identification at the cashier's desk would not be ethical, he said.
"We can't just assume everyone has a stolen card," Thurman said. "We'd lose customers that way."
However, if a victim of gift certificate theft contacts any Gap store, a new certificate could be issued and the stolen one voided.
he said
"If you have the original receipt, we can trace the number," Thurman said. "We won't be able to find your original, but at least we can cancel it."
Gegg, who lost Old Navy and Best Buy gift certificates, said she didn't know she could cancel the certificates.
"I thought if you lost them, someone else was just $100 richer," she said.
Erin Easum, a Kohl's customer service employee, said the store echoed The Gap's process.
"We don't have an ID policy, but if we know the numbers on the card, we can cancel it and issue a new one," she said.
Easum said the gift cards don't work until they have been activated, making stolen gift cards worthless.
The Gap, Abercrombie & Fitch and SuperTarget gift cards also need cashier activation, making a gift card purchase similar to a phone card purchase.
Representatives from Abercrombie & Fitch would not comment on the store's gift certificate identification policy.
Mark Ryan, SuperTarget senior soft lines manager, said a gift certificate thief would not be able to use or add money to a stolen gift certificate.
"If someone has your card, and you cancel it," Ryan said. "When they try to use it, it won't go through."

it was time to move out of the Intensive Care Unit. As the nurse took the IV out of my arm, she explained that I had improved enough physically to move to a different room.
As she unhooked the monitor, she told me the ringing in my ears would stop in a day or so.
"That's one of the side effects of that much aspirin," she said. "So will this make you rethink any future thoughts of suicide?"
"Yeah, definitely," I said, remembering with regret the past two days of stomach pumps, nausea and the looks of worry and confusion from my family.
She pushed my wheelchair down the sterile, white hallway.

Twenty-one percent of adults in the United States have some sort of mental illness, according to a study by the National Institute of Mental Health, but about 84 percent do not seek help. This means as many as 5,000 KU students could have some sort of psychological disorder, yet 4,200 will not receive treatment.
Whether it be mood swings, anxiety attacks, anorexia nervosa or schizophrenia, the numbers indicate one in five people lives with some kind of emotional illness.
And, according to a National Mental Health Association fact sheet, mental illness increases slightly in the winter when some people come down with Seasonal Affective Disorder. The disorder, which strikes during the short days of winter, is a temporary type

of depression brought on by a lack of exposure to sunlight.
Although counseling for depressive disorders is becoming more acceptable, seeking help still is viewed as a sign of weakness. Professionals, have said overcoming the
feeling of weakness and the stigma attached to it was the first step in climbing back from emotional illness.
John Wade, director of outreach programs at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said the social stigma surrounding mental health issues made it tough for people to seek help. In the past, one could lose her job. Friends and reputation by pursuing counseling.
"The stigma is lessening." Wade said. "But it is still hard for many people to make the call to a counselor if they are having problems."
But Wude said it could be dangerous not to seek help. According to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention, depressive disorders account for 95 percent of suicides among college students.
As we entered the Psychiatric Wing, my mind flashed back to two days before. I saw myself placing the pills on my bed—one, two, three . . . 24, 25 . . .

owed them all. I thought about how the emotional pressure would soon be gone. No more worrying about what people thought of me. No more guilt over the break-up with my ex-boyfriend. No more indecision about the future, which loomed over my head.
At the time, it seemed like the perfect plan. I could finally show my family how much confusion and insecurity I felt. But I damn't consider the hurt and shame I would cause them.
Suddenly, I came back to the present and the seriousness of the situation hit me. I was in a psychiatric hospital — a loony bin. But I wasn't really crazy...was it?
Fear about having mental illness, and uneasiness toward those who suffer psychological problems, stems from its history in the United States, according to a 1999 report.
from the Office of the Surgeon General. Traditionally, family members cared for ill relatives. But with the onset of the industrial age, asylums began caring for patients, isolating them from their community without fully understanding the nature of their disease, the report said.

illness. They thought mental disorders originated from a failure to follow moral laws. Doctors of the time only recognized extreme cases of illness such as psychosis or schizophrenia and not disorders such as depression and anxiety. This attitude evolved into a general stigma by the 20th century, the report said.
But in recent years, Surgeon General David Satcher has made it a priority to lessen the stigma surrounding mental illness in the United States.
"We must improve our mental health system to one of caring and support—not blame and stigmatization — so that we can get on with the business of developing sound strategies for suicide and violence prevention," he said in an address.
Furthermore, Satcher wants to help rede fine traditional attitudes about mental illness
"People continue to see mental and physical as separate functions when, in fact, mental functions are physical as well," he said.
I never thought this could happen to me. I was the valedictorian of my high school class. I played tennis, volleyball and the trumpet. I was the band's president. I coached a swim team in the summer, and on the weekends I partied with my friends. Pretty much like any normal teenager.
I didn't come from an abusive family, and I have never been involved in a violent relationship. There is no history of mental illness in my family.
But I have a habit of stuffing my feelings. When I broke off my first serious relationship, I didn't grieve for it. I thought I had moved on. I came to college and realized I didn't want the same things in life as my parents wanted for me. As my frustration with them and their hopes for my future green, I didn't fight back and I didn't talk about it.
Pretty soon, I only knew how to feel angry,
frustrated and sad. I began to feel insecure about the decisions I made before I didn't know I needed help until it was too late.

about mental health, said Donna Shalala, former Secretary of Health and Human Services, in the preface to the Surgeon General's report.
A person does not have to be schizophrenic to seek psychological help. Factors such as genetic makeup and environment help determine the amount of emotional strain a person can handle, according to the NHMA fact sheet.
People may grow up with seemingly identical lives, but some may have a naturally lower tolerance for life's stresses. If this is the case, and a person is unable to cope with the anxiety and stress, psychiatric problems can emerge, according to the fact sheet.
Anyone can develop emotional problems, Wade said, but people with a stronger support group are better suited to deal with them. He said this could make a huge difference.
"The best predictor for coping well is social support," he said.
But unfortunately the demands of college do not always allow for the closeness of family and friends.
Wade said when students left home for the first time, they might have more trouble coping with stress in their new environment. He said although they might have a strong network of friends and family to lean on at home, they may not have as much support away from home.
I talked to the counselors about my current situation. I didn't have my old friends to talk to after I came to KU. My roommates were really nice, but I didn't want them to think I was needy or emotional.
And even though I loved my mother and father, I feared talking to them would result in worried lectures or packaged anecdotes from their youth. I knew they would listen, but they really hear me?
More than that, though, I didn't want anyone to think of me as weak.
College didn't seem like such a big deal — millions of people my age go to college every year. They don't have problems, so why should I?
But the counselors told me that college was a time of many hard transitions. People start new relationships, while old ones change and end. In the meantime, students are learning more about themselves, which often changes the way they relate to their families.
They assured me I wasn't alone.
Even though more people readily accept counseling in general, many still view getting psychological help as a sign of personal weakness, Wade said.
"I could say pretty confidently there are a good chunk of people here at KU who would benefit from counseling but don't come in," he said.
But many Americans have a skewed view
In a study by Counseling and Psychological Services at Watkins, researchers found that people generally accepted the idea of others receiving treatment. Yet when faced with the notion of getting counseling themselves, the reaction was less favorable. Wade said.
"For too long the fear of mental illness has been profoundly destructive to people's lives," she said. "Mental illnesses are just as real as other illnesses, and they are like other illnesses in most ways."
Just as people don't hesitate to see a doctor for a broken bone or pneumonia, people should not hesitate to call a counselor if they feel the need. Wade said they should see mental health in the same light as physical health.
"You're looking at stuff, you're working on it. It takes cuts to that." he said.
And just as physical ailments have noticeable symptoms, so does depression. According to the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistics Manual (DSM-IV), symptoms of depression include: changes in sleeping patterns and appetite, a significant increase in irritability or sadness, and isolation from friends and activities.
"If your whole life is school and work, you're going to struggle," he said.
But preventing problems before they start can be key. Wade said. In fact, he urged students to find balance in their lives.
He suggested taking time to put things into perspective. Busy students tend to get tunnel vision about grades and assignments, and as a result, lose sight of friends and other important relationships. As a remedy, Wade said student should ask themselves what a particular grade, class or conflict will mean in three years.
But if symptoms persist, Wade said to call Watkins and talk to a counselor at CAPS. He said it was extremely important to talk to someone
talk and laugh and talk some more
"It's not at all a sign of weakness," he said.
The three days I spent in the treatment center flew by. Outdoor basketball games and meals helped pass the time between group sessions and appointments with the psychologist.
The other patients in the center weren't schizophrenics or toonies with multiple personalities; they were people—parents, spouses and students. People who didn't quite know how to handle the situations life dealt them. This time gave us all a chance to step back and gain a new perspective on our lives and the world around us.
We didn't get shock treatments or heavy drugs. The doctors didn't put us in dirty straight jackets or throw us in padded cells. They merely encouraged us to talk and cry

talk and laugh and talk some more. The last day, I signed papers promising I would not harm myself. The attendant opened the thick, steel doors and I realized how sheltered the hospital truly was. Not only did the doors keep us inside, they protected us from the pressures and stresses of the world outside. I stepped out the door with renewed self-confidence.
Outside I immediately noticed the beautiful,
vivid colors—the various shades of blue in the

Student Living
Housing letter confuses, angers residents
By Cynthia Melakasis
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A letter sent last week by the Ellsworth Hall complex director to residents whose roommates had moved out created mixed feelings for some of its recipients.
The letter stated that, according to the student housing consolidation policy, prior occupants of double rooms had two options to adjust their housing situation. Residents could either retain the room as a single and start paying the appropriate rate or find another student housing resident who also lacked a roommate and room
with that person.
The letter gave a Feb. 2 deadline, noting that if residents did not return a completed form with the name of their new roommate and the number of the room where they would reside by then, they would be automatically billed for a single room.
Kate Petersen, Prairie Village freshman, said the way the letter was phrased made her feel angry and frustrated.
Petersen referred to the written Vacancies and Consolidation Policy, which provides residents with a third option, one that was not mentioned in the letter she received.
According to the policy, in
addition to retaining their room as a single or undertaking the responsibility of finding a roommate, residents also have the alternative of remaining in their room and paying the double-room rate until student housing assigns them a new roommate.
"I was 100 percent willing to have a new roommate, but they were trying to place the burden on my shoulders," said Petersen.
She said that her roommate moved out the previous semester and that she had been assigned a new roommate who never showed up.
"It's not my fault and my responsibility," said Petersen. "I don't think I should have to do
that."
Petersen said that she had her mother call housing and that it was after that phone call that housing agreed to take care of the situation for her.
Lauren Karp, Buffalo Grove,
Ill., freshman, also said that the
letter made her angry.
"They were basically telling me that I had to pay $400 until I could find someone to room with." she said.
Karp said she felt like housing was trying to make her do something so that they would not have to do it.
She said she also was contacted by her complex director who explained her third option to her after her mother called the
Department of Student Housing.
Department of Music, Hunting But Michelle Moore, Ellsworth Hall complex director, said that the purpose of the phrasing was not to mislead students, frustrate them or burden them with extra responsibilities. Moore said that she had been instructed by her supervisors to encourage students to make their own roommate matches.
She also said that she worked with frustrated or angry students who contacted her and explained them their third option.
Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing and Moore's supervisor, said that the goal of the process was to try and avoid administrative action
and encourage student initiative instead.
"We tried to take a personalized, caring approach," Robertson said. "It is unfortunate that some people chose to see it negatively."
Kelley Wright, Medicine Lodge freshman, who also received the letter, said that he was upset at first but that student housing helped him find a roommate.
Wright said he was introduced to a program which allowed him to room with a foreign exchange student for a semester and then have a single room on a double-room rate for another semester.
"It wasn't such a bad deal after all," Wright said.

NO ROOMMATES, PLEASE
Privacy of living alone can outweigh loneliness
By Cynthia Malakasis

Kansan staff writer
A late-night snack with friends or a few hours at the library are Grant Sentz's escapes from loneliness.
Sally Kendall
The occasional twinge of loneliness is the price Sentz, Eden Prairie, Minn., junior, has to pay in exchange for the privacy of living alone.
But students who have made that choice say the perks of living without roommates and not having to share space outweighed any disadvantages of a single-living arrangement.
Sentz said even though loneliness might sink in sometimes and living alone cost more than sharing space with roommates, he was pleased with his living arrangement.

Lindsay Millsap, Naperville, Ill., senior, got her own apartment after living with roommates for four years. Millsap said unpleasant roommate situations were the main reason she chose to spend her last year at the University in a single apartment.
"I lived alone as a senior in high school, and I had people over all the time," he said. "I was never alone. I sometimes get sick of being alone now, but I don't need people over all the time anymore. Back then I did."
"I got tired of bills not being paid, and the burden being constantly on me," Millsap said. "Personal qualms with roommates also added to my stress level."
Millsap said she made it her goal to find a single apartment and enjoy what she described as "stable living."
Even though she said she missed having other people around now and then — especially during meal times — she was happy with her living arrangements.
"I don't have to leave my house to go study anymore," Millsap said. "Everything is on my terms."
Unpleasant experiences with roommates may be an incentive
for single-living,but the desire for privacy can stem from various needs or situations.
Yiannis Zachariou, Nicosia, Cyprus, graduate student, said he chose to alter his living arrangements when he started working toward his master's degree.
"I had fun living with roommates, but as a graduate student, I need my own space," Zachariou said. "I can study until 2 a.m., play music until 2 a.m., or sleep in the living room if that's what I
Zachariou said his schoolwork involved enough social interaction to keep him from feeling lonely. He said when he got home at the end of the day, he needed his own space.
want. I don't have any restrictions."
"I need to sit alone for a while and get back to my senses," he said. "If I need social contact again, I go out."

Roaches reported residing at Towers
By Cynthia Malakasis writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Kate Hackett has a newfound sense of relief. An exterminator came yesterday to rid her apartment of the cockroaches she has lived with since October.
Hackett, Overland Park sophmore, lives with RyanE Olson, also an Overland Park sophmore, in Tower D of the Javhawker Towers.
"We saw cockroaches every week," Olson said. "Most of them were baby ones that ran away, but some of them were huge."
The residents agreed that their apartment should have been disinfected months before. Olson contacted the towers' front desk in October and was told that a technician would be sent to deal with the problem.
When no one came before or during winter break, she and Olson contacted the office again and were asked to fill an official form. Olson did the paperwork, but two days later she was told it had been lost and she had to do it again.
However, the exterminator did not show up until yesterday.
Hackett said that she was glad an exterminator had been sent, but that she still thought she
and her three roommates deserved more consideration.
"It doesn't seem like they wanted to take the time to get it done," Hackett said. "I hope we don't get them again in the future and have to go through this mess again."
Jamie Shew, Jayhawker Towers complex director, said the towers residents' complaints were addressed when requests were put in.
Shew said he did not think the situation was different than any other apartment building, and that he was not aware of the problem. Ken Stoner, director of student housing, said he had never been notified about the issue.
Eric Proctor of Orkin, a termite and pest control service, said cockroaches needed to be dealt with on a consistent basis. "One time will not work," he said.
Hackett said neither the exterminator nor housing officials mentioned anything about the exterminator making a second visit.
And the problem extended beyond Olson and Hackett's apartment.
Gina Wright, also a resident of Tower D, said she thought cockroaches were a general problem
in her tower.
"When I first moved in there were roaches," said Wright, Kansas City, Kan., sophomore. "I cleaned up and put out boric acid, but they still came."
Wright, however, did not make any complaints to the front desk.
"When it was hot, I complained about the air-conditioner and later about the heat, but nothing happened," Wright said. "I thought 'Why waste time if they wouldn't do anything about it?'" Wright said she still saw cock-
Wright said she still saw cockroaches in her apartment.
"I've been seeing some tiny ones lately." Wright said.
Residents from Tower B also complained about cockroaches, which did not surprise Proctor.
"They travel along common pipes," he said, adding if one apartment was infested with cockroaches, most neighboring apartments would probably have them as well.
Randall Rock, a physician at Watkins Health Center, said the presence of cockroaches could be an indication of poor hygiene. Rock said residents should make sure food was not left out, there were no cracks or crevices and things were kept dry and clean.

Congo traveler could have deadly disease
HAMILTON, Ontario — A woman who arrived from Congo and fell ill in Canada is being tested for hemorrhagic viruses, including Ebola, doctors said yesterday.
The identity of the woman has not been released. She was admitted to a Hamilton hospital on Sunday and has been described as drifting in and out of consciousness.
The viral hemorrhagic fevers suspected are a group of contagious tropical infections that are life-threatening. Doctors say the illness could also be meningitis, an infection of the fluid of the spinal cord and brain.
Blood samples have been sent to a Winnipeg laboratory and the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta, officials said yesterday. Results are expected tomorrow.
The sick woman arrived Saturday
Canadian health authorities asked for a list of passengers, but also "advised us they do not consider this passenger to be contagious for casual contact," Cooke said. The flight's crew members have been notified, but no special steps for them were ordered or taken.
The woman was brought Sunday to Henderson General Hospital in Hamilton, where she was staying. She become ill after arriving in Hamilton, said Dr. Monir Taha, a city public health official.
Dr. Colin D'Cunha, an Ontario medical official, said Monday the illness could be Crimean-Congo fever, one of the viral hemorrhagic fevers. Malaria and meningitis were other possibilities, he said.
at Toronto's Pearson International Airport on Air Canada Flight 735 from Newark International Airport in New Jersey, airline representative Laura Cooke said.
"It's a game of probabilities until
"Based on information at this time, I wouldn't say the danger is zero," D'Cunha said. "But it would be misleading to say it's a lot. The evidence is pointing to minimal."
In the United States, a representative for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention said the patient exhibited no symptoms of illness during her trip, making the risk that fellow travelers could contract a fever like Ebola "very, very low."
The stricken woman was being kept in isolation.

The Associated Press
HOYT — Residents of a northeast Kansas town said they were thankful three Royal Valley High School students accused of planning what authorities call a Columbine-style plot were caught before they pulled it off.
Those who knew the accused teenagers said they were average students until about a year ago, when they began dressing differently and keeping to themselves.
Charged Monday with conspiracy to commit aggravated arson were Richard Bradley Jr., 18, of Hoyt, Jason Moss, 17, and James Lopez, 16, both of nearby Mayetta. Lopez was also charged with aggravated intimidation of a witness or victim.
Relatives of Lopez and Moss could not be located yesterday.
Jackson County Attorney Doug Fisher said in a statement Tuesday the two juveniles were at the Shawnee County Detention Center in Topeka and Bradley was jailed on $10,000 bond.
Police searched two homes Friday after another student told school officials the three were making bombs. Authorities found bomb-making materials, floor plans of the school, a modified assault rifle, ammunition and white supremacist drawings, police said.
There were quick comparisons to the April, 1999 shooting at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo., where two students killed 13 people before killing themselves.
Cheif Detective Steven Rupert of the Jackson
County Sherriff's Office called the three suspects loners and said they hung with no particular group.
He said the suspects had discussed the Columbine attack and planned a similar attack on the high school, possibly at a dance. Three trench coats, similar to those worn by the Columbine shooters, also were found.
"We're just real pleased that everything got discovered before anything happened," said the Rev. Tom Fraunfelter, pastor of the First Baptist Church. "I've been telling the kids how brave it is for someone to speak up and say this wasn't right and told somebody."
Laura Del Toro, whose 16-year-old son attends the school, agreed the town was lucky but said. "It shows you aren't safe anywhere. You have to be careful."
Justin Hainline, 19, said he grew up with Bradley and Moss and considered them friends.
Hainline said he and Bradley played on the same baseball team as youngsters.
Back then, we were pretty close, but he drifted apart. He seemed like the average kid then." Hainline said.
He said around December 1999, Bradley and Moss started to change — Bradley started wearing baggy jeans and rock group T-shirts and Moss shaved his head and grew a goatee.
"Ricky wouldn't talk to anybody; he excluded himself to his group." Hainline said. "They used to be well-dressed, well-respected kids until December came around."
Like the rest of the community, Hainline said
he was shocked when he heard of the arrests.
"They both have well-respected families around here," he said. "I guess I didn't think they would do this to their families."
Royal Valley School Superintendent Marceta Reilly declined to discuss the three accused students but said attendance at the high school yesterday was normal.
"The kids are handling this like it's not part of school, that it's outside school," she said. "It shows their resilience. The kids appear to be OK."
Reilly said she talked Monday night with 70 or 80 parents at a meeting called by tribal council leaders of the nearby Prairie Band Potawatomi Nation. She said about 20 percent of the 900 students in the district were Potawatomi.
Prompted by parents' concerns, Reilly said she asked the Kansas Highway Patrol to bring in two bomb-sniffing dogs Monday night to search the high school, middle school and elementary school.
"We did a thorough search of all our schools, and nothing was found." she said.
Reilly said some parents were concerned about what a sheeriff department news release characterized as white supremacy-related paraphernalia.
Materials seized included a bobcat skull that had swastikas drawn on it, but the three teenagers apparently were not targeting minorities.
"It did not seem to be racially motivated at all." said Rupert.
Trooper's shooting deemed suicide attempt
The Associated Press
WICHITA — A Kansas Highway Patrol trooper found injured last month at Pratt County Community College shot himself four times in the face, neck and chest with his.45-caliber patrol pistol, the patrol said yesterday.
That was the finding of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation after their investigators finally were able to talk to 2nd Lt. Tom Quinn, who continues to recuperate at Wesley Medical Center.
work-related," Maple said.
On Jan.15, two students found Quinn, 42, of Ellinwood, sitting in his marked car in a parking lot on the Pratt County Community College campus bleeding from multiple shots.
Lt. Col. Terry Maple, assistant superintendent of the Kansas Highway Patrol, would not give a specific motive for the suicide attempt.
"There were personal issues involved, and at this time we don't believe it was
Quinn's family issued a written statement: "Words are hardly adequate to describe the confusion and pain that each of us has suffered. As such, one can appreciate our family's need for privacy and time in which to heal. Our gratitude goes out to the members of the Highway Patrol for their care and compassion, as well as those individuals and groups who have sent their love, prayers and support. Through even our darkest hours, we feel truly blessed."
Maple said the KBI's conclusion Quinn's injuries were self-inflicted came after an extensive review and analysis of physical evidence, witness statements and interviews with various individuals, including Quinn.
After he was found in January, Quinn was taken to the hospital in critical condition, and investigators with the Kansas Bureau of Investigations were unable to talk to him until recently. Maple declined,
at the family's request, to release details about his present condition other than to say Quinn was improving.
Quinn, a 17-year veteran of the highway patrol, was stationed out of the patrol's Great Bend office and was field supervisor for Barton, Stafford, Pratt and Barber counties in charge of nine other officers.
"Obviously it is extremely difficult — and particularly for those people that work directly for Lt. Quinn," Maple said. "As you can imagine, anytime a police officer is shot those ripples go throughout all our communities, and we need to find answers."
Besides KBI probe, the Highway Patrol has also initiated an internal administrative investigation of the circumstances of the shooting, Maple said. Those findings would be used for determining the causes, possible administrative action and to help prevent future such incidents.

Recruits subject to Internet scrutiny
The Associated Press
JACKSON, Miss. — Chris
Spencer is a wanted man.
The 306-pound 17-year-old supposedly was spotted in Tuscaloosa, Ala. Later, he was said to be headed to Baton Rouge, La, because he had family there. Both reports proved to be wrong.
For months,

about his next destination. He suspects he is being watched and his phones have been tapped.
Spencer isn't a fugitive. He is a senior at Madison Central High School in Mississippi and among the most coveted offensive linemen in the country.
Before Spencer announced he would sign a letter of intent with Mississippi today, the first day of the national signing period, he found out just how pervasive recruiting coverage has become in recent years.
"You can't make a move without people knowing what you're doing. If I go to a basketball game somewhere, it's on the Internet the next hour that I'm at this place or that place," he said.
Not long ago, college football fans had few sources of information on which players were being recruited by their favorite teams. Now, fans
can surf through a tidal wave of recruiting facts, stats and hearsay on the Internet.
"There is more awareness by everyone of what you're doing," said Ole Miss coach David Cutcliffe, who has been recruiting for 20 years. "It is much more of a spectator sport."
Scott McKinney, co-host of a syndicated talk-radio show that focuses on Southeastern Conference sports, said the dramatic increase in recruiting coverage was directly linked to the Internet boom.
"Fifteen years ago, fans gathered around universities on signing day waiting to find out who was out there. They had no clue," he said.
Now, thanks to the Internet, fans "know who's committed, who's leaning where, what their chances are of landing a certain player." McKinney said.
At McKinney's last count there were more than 100 Web sites dedicated to recruiting news. And then there are the fan pages and chat rooms, where speculation and rumors abound and even accurate information is distorted.
Inevitably, a recruiting rumor that begins on the Net makes its way to talk radio.
"It may start out as Joe Smith is leaning toward Mississippi State because he likes the school." McKinney said. "By the end of the day its gone through 300 or 400 hands and Joe Smith is committed to Mississippi State because his brother once played basketball
there and his first cousin is the vice chancellor of academic affairs."
A friend's mother told Spencer she read an Internet report he and teammate Mike Espy, a wide receiver also headed to Ole Miss, were spotted at Alabama and planning to become members of the Crimson Tide.
Neither ever went to Alabama. And Spencer has no relatives in Baton Rouge.
NCAA representative Wally Renfrofe said if players, coaches and parents were concerned with the growing scrutiny of young athletes, it hadn't been brought to the national panel's attention.
"The funny thing about it, most all these people with the recruiting service that call you, they are associated with the same people," Spencer said. "They just have different names. How many Rivals people do they have?"
That's Rivals.com, and the answer is quite a few. Rivals is a 3-year-old sports Web site that has links to all major sports, but recruiting has become its specialty.
Rivals links 10 regional recruiting sites and uses a network of stringers to stay in touch with players across the country.
Rivals recruiting coordinator Bobby Burton said the frequent calls were used to curtail Internet speculation, letting the athletes speak for themselves.
But Burton admits, "The rumor mill will never die. It's like trying to stamp out gossip in a small town."
LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky football coach Hal Mumme resigned yesterday following months of investigation into possible NCAA violations.
Kentucky coach resigns amid violations
The Associated Press
CARTOONS
Mumme was replaced by Guy Morriss,
an assistant coach
at Kentucky with
more than 15
years of NFL playing and coaching experience. Morriss was given a one-year contract, athletic director Larry Ivy said at a news conference.
"I met with coach Hal Mumme this afternoon and officially accepted his resignation as head football coach," Ivy said.
The move came the day before high school players are allowed to sign letters-of-intent with college programs.
Mumme was 20-26 in four seasons with the Wildcats. He has made no public comment since the school began an internal investigation in November regarding recruiting.
Former assistant coach and recruiting coordinator Claude Bassett in January admitted sending $1,400 in money orders to a Memphis, Tenn., high school football coach and improperly cashing a $500 check donated by a
booster to help fund Mumme's summer football camp.
ivy told the school's board of trustees last month the investigation had uncovered several violations, some of which would be deemed major by the NCAA. He said at the time there had been no evidence linking Mumme to any of the violations.
Since that announcement, several newspaper reports said Kentucky assistant coaches had asked boosters for money to help pay for recruits to attend Mumme's football camps, a violation of NCAA rules. The school could not provide proof nearly 20 recruits, including Kentucky Mr. Football Montrell Jones, paid the fee to attend Mumme's camp last summer.
Morris has spent the last four seasons at Kentucky after one year at Mississippi State. An All-Southwest Conference guard at Texas Christian, Morris played 15 seasons in the NFL — 11 in Philadelphia and four with New England.
The 48-year-old Mumme was a virtually unknown head coach at Division II Valdosta State when he was hired by former athletic director C.M. Newton in 1997 to
Morriss coached with New England and Arizona in the NFL and had stints at Valdosta State and with San Antonio of the Canadian Football League.
replace Bill Curry, who was fired after a 26-52 record in seven years at Kentucky
An offensive innovator, Mumme brought with him a wide-open passing attack that showcased the talents of quarterback Tim Couch. Under Mumme, Couch rewrote the Southeastern Conference record book and became the top pick in the 1999 NFL draft.
"Mummeball," as his aggressive style of play became known, ignited renewed fan interest in a linguishing program. Following a 5-6 record his first season, the Wildcats went 7-5 and 6-6 the next two years and played in back-to-back bowl games — a feat accomplished only twice previously in the 109-year history of the program.
After boasting his squad was ready to challenge perennial Southeastern Conference powers Florida and Tennessee entering the 2000 season, the Wildcats lost their final eight games, finishing 2-9.
Following the team's season-ending blowout loss at Tennessee, Mumme released four assistant coaches, including Bassett. Several recruits have said Mumme told them he definitely would be Kentucky's coach next season and he expected any possible NCAA sanctions to be minimal.

Jamison banks on experience
Former Jayhawk helped lead team to Final Four
By Steve Laurenzo

Kansan sportswriter
Name: Alonzo Jamison

Sport: Basketball
Years at Kansas:1990-92
Hometown: Santa Ana, California
Former Kansas basketball player Alonzo "Zo" Jamison, right, helps Shingen Huang, Lawrence resident, with his checking account at Capital City Bank, located in Hy-Vee, 4000 W. 6th St. After a stint in Lawrence professional basketball and several years in restaurant management, Jamison has returned to Lawrence for a banking career.

Accomplishments at Kansas: Finished his career fourth all-time in steals, 10th all-time in assists and 19th all-time in blocks. Was a starter
on Kansas 1991 national championship run e r - u p team.
YOUNG
T he n :
Alonzo "Zo"
J a m i s o
n came
to
Kansas
in 1989 as a
junior col-
lege
transfer
from
R a n c h o
Jamison;played at Kansas from 1909- 1992
Santiago Junior College in Santa Ana after spending one season there.
After contributing off the bench during the 1989-90 season, Jamison emerged as a team leader and was inserted into the starting lineup as a junior. Playing alongside other standouts such as "Downtown" Terry Brown and Adonis Jordan, Jamison helped lead the Jayhawks to the 1991 championship game against Duke. Though Kansas lost the game, the Jayhawks had captured the attention and respect of the nation.
In the 1991-92 season, Jamison earned three Big
Eight Conference honors. He was second team All-Big Eight and was a member of both the Big Eight All-Tournament team and the Big Eight All-Defensive team.
Jamison's fondest experience at Allen Fieldhouse came in 1991 during a game against Oklahoma State. Going into the game, the teams were tied for first place in the Big Eight. Kansas won a close game and Jamison remembers it as the loudest crowd he ever heard at the fieldhouse.
Advised by his doctor that his other Achilles tendon was weak and liable to do the same.
Life after Kansas: Jamison played basketball both in France and Sweden for six months from 1992-93. His European basketball career came to an abrupt end when he ruptured his Achilles tendon in Sweden.
Jamison quit playing organized basketball.
Shortly after basketball, Jamison and his wife had their first child, Michaela. For Jamison, times were changing.
Jamison decided he wanted to compete in the business world by opening a bar and grill. Seeking advice on how to accomplish his goal, Jamison consulted a man who had provided him direction before: Kansas coach Roy Williams.
Williams told Jamison his best bet was to learn about the restaurant business by managing one.
"It was the best advice he could have given me." Jamison said.
Jamison's career in business started with the Applebee's Corporation at its Oathe location, and spent three years with the company.
In 1998, Jamison's family grew to five with the addition
of twin girls, Olivia and Elise.
At the same time, Jamison was making another career move.
He began working with Commerce Bank in Olathe.
Now: Almost one year ago, Jamison returned to Lawrence. He accepted a position at Capital City Bank, located in Hy-Vee at 4000 W. 6th St. He lives the life of a family man, and although it's trying at times, he enjoys it.
Jamison still keeps in contact with former teammates, including Rick Calloway and Malcolm Nash, and University faculty.
As far as basketball goes. Jamison endorses the newlyformed American Basketball Association.
"It has a lot of guys I call 'tweeners,'" he said. "Guys who could play in the NBA, but need more experience and seasoning to be NBA players."

Guards: Colorado has long-range threats in Nightingale and Roulier, and the two combine for nearly 24 points a game. Hilgenkamp and Scott have stepped up in the past three games and helped Jackson make the backcourt an offensive threat. Advantage: Kansas
Forward: Kansas' strength is at the forward position. Reves and Johnson lead the team in scoring and rebounding, together contributing about 30 points and 15 rebounds. Colorado's Wirt is a freshman who does not provide much offensive power, averaging just 4.2 points. Advantage: Kansas

Home victory would help Kansas women's basketball seniors smooth out season
Bv Brandon Stinnett
by brandon shannon
sports@kansas.com
Kansan sportswriter
With a losing record in the Big 12 Conference and a mounting number of home losses, the Kansas women's basketball team has experienced a tumultuous season.
Kansas coach Marian Washington is the first to admit the disappointing
season has been tough on the team. But the struggles have been especially rough for three Jayhawks playing in their last season at Kansas.
Seniors Jaclyn Johnson, Brooke Reves and Jennifer Jackson are in the final leg of their college careers, and with the Jayhawks struggling to stay afloat in the Big 12, it's been one bumpy ride.
Kansas (9-11, 3-6 Big 12) has been a
team of peaks and valleys all season. It's not the year Washington envisioned when the Jayhawks first laced up their shoes back in November.
But Washington knew long before the season started this could be a difficult year for the Hawks with only three experienced seniors.
"I knew in the back of my mind that we would have to rely on a bunch of
new faces," Washington said.
She didn't anticipate just how long it would take for the new players to adjust. For most of the season, there's been a shortage of production from players other than the three seniors.
During the Jayhawks' last home game, against Nebraska on Jan. 31, Reves, hindered by foul trouble, was on the court for just 16 minutes and scored six points. With Reves out for
much of the game, Kansas turned in one of its weakest performances of the season and lost 73-62, making its home record 5-5.
The road has suddenly improved. In Kansas' last two victories, a 65-62 victory Jan. 27 at Kansas State and a 70-60 victory Saturday at Texas, all three seniors had strong outings. The Jayhawks also had contributions from two other players. Junior guard
KC Hilgenkamp scored seven points against the Wildcats, and junior guard Selena Scott scored 13 points against Texas.
A home victory against No. 19 Colorado tonight would help remove the bad taste of numerous home losses. "We're really pumped to play Colorado," Reves said. "We take our home court personally."

Link to KU basketball tradition dies
The Associated Press
FAIRWAY — Theodore MJ O'Leary, a University of Kansas basketball player and one of the last links to basketball inventor James Naismith, died Monday. He was 90.
O'Leary was honored three years ago as the oldest of 275 lettermen at a reunion marking 100 years of KU basketball.
"I'm the oldest basketball player alive," he said at the time. "Which doesn't say much for playing basketball."
O'Leary, who took a class from Naismith during his career at Kansas, was an outstanding student and athlete. He led the Big Six in scoring, was a basketball AllAmerica in 1931-32 under Phog Allen, was the No.1 player on the Jayhawk tennis team and earned a Phi Beta Kappa key for excellence in scholarship.
After graduating from the University in 1932, O'Leary compiled a 26-9 record in two years as coach of George Washington University in Washington.
Declaring that "coaching wasn't for me," O'Leary resigned and returned to the Kansas City area to work as a reporter for The Kansas City Times. He remained with the newspaper until he entered the Navy in May 1942.
In the 1940s and '50s, O'Leary edited a hobbyists' magazine and was considered such an authority in his field, that he was asked to write the hobby segment for the World Book Encyclopedia.
He also was a longtime Midwest correspondent for Sports Illustrated magazine. A voracious reader, O'Leary reviewed books for The Kansas City Star, a free-lance project he pursued for 60 years.
"I feel I may be helping out in the world a little if I can do anything to fan the public's interest in reading," he said.
O'Leary died after a brief illness following a stroke.
His wife of 58 years, Emily, died in 1994.
The O'Learys had two sons. Morgan O'Leary died in a plane crash in 1971. Dennis S. O'Leary is president of the Joint Commission on Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations in the Chicago area.

interesting and gets me on the field," Dreher said. "It's a great feeling knowing that I can help the team out wherever I'm needed."
Continued from page 16A
He started in all 55 games for the Jayhawks last season and tied for the team lead in doubles and home runs. Dreher also received last season's Jeff Niemeier Team RBI award.
Randall said that he was impressed by Dreher's work ethic and that the entire team needed to look at Dreher as an example.
"He's a tough, tough kid," he said. "He just goes out and plays, and that's what we love about him. What he does makes everyone else work hard."
Smart, Nelson, Del Chiaro and Dreher will lead the Jayhawks into their first action of the season on Friday in the Round Rock Invitational in Round Rock, Texas.

All-American Charlie Gruber, a junior distance runner on the Kansas track and field team, was named as the Big 12 Conference male track athlete of the week.

Distance runner named Bia 12 athlete of week
Gruber is the second Jayhawk to receive the honor this season. He set the school record and an Anschutz Pavilion record in the 1,000 meter run with a time of 2.21.71 seconds.
The Denver native outran a 14-year-old record by more than two seconds. The senior also ran a leg for the 4x800 meter relay team that finished second. Gruber ranks first in both the 1,000 meter and the mile in the Big 12. His time of 4:00.79 last week in the mile is the third fastest in the country.
"Even though the 1,000 isn't an NCAA event, I think that 2:21 by himself shows how good of shape he is in," said Doug Clark, Kansas distance coach. "I'm looking for a lot of big things from him in the next few weeks in the 800 meters and the mile run."
"With the great middle distance tradition that Kansas has, and you break the record by more then two seconds, it's definitely significant."

Just like the first time around, Missouri's rematch against Kansas State at 7 p.m. tonight in Columbia, Mo., comes on one day's rest and after an emotional game.
Tigers to face Wildcats, seek win in second game
BIG 12 BASKETBALL
The Tigers lost 69-66 at Oklahoma State Monday in the Cowboys' first game since the fatal plane crash that killed 10 people associated with the program. That game had been postponed for two days.
Though the situation pales by comparison, Missouri (14-7, 5-3) beat Iowa State in four overtimes two days before the first K-State game on Jan. 16. The Tigers appeared mentally exhausted against the Wildcats and were never in the game, losing 80-59.
"It's no question we were drained from the Iowa State game, but we're going to be in the same situation," said Missouri coach Quin Snyder. "I think they're a tough team to prepare for on one day and we're getting them twice. I think they're playing as well as anybody in the league right now."
The first K-State game started a threegame losing streak for Missouri, which had cracked the Top 25 for the first time in two seasons.
"I don't think we overlooked them," Snyder said. "Since that game, people have gotten a little taste of what we got. They're playing real good basketball right now and they played great against us that night."
K-State (8-11, 2-6) is coming off Saturday's 84-78 loss at Iowa State. A 30-point game by Larry Reid wasn't enough to pull the upset over No. 15 Iowa State.
Beating Missouri hasn't turned out to be a momentum builder for K-State, who has lost four in a row and six of seven. Four of the losses were to ranked teams, however
"I think our team has showed some real toughness and they've been resilient," said K-State coach Jim Wooldridge. "Even though we don't have the wins to back up our effort, I think our effort has been pretty good."

Angels' Vaughn hurt, will miss 2001 season
ANAHEIM, Calif. — Anaheim Angels first baseman Mo Vaughn may miss the entire season when recuperating from surgery yesterday to repair a ruptured biceps tendon in his left arm.
"Due to the nature and complexity of the surgery, the rehabilitation involved and all the elements required toward a full recovery, we are not anticipating Mo's return In 2001," said Angels general manager Bill Stoneman.
Dr. Bernard Morrey, assisted by Angels medical director Dr. Lewis Yocum, performed reconstructive surgery on Vaughn's distal biceps tendon and repaired the biceps muscle in a 2 1/2-hour procedure at the Mavo Clinic in Rochester, Minn.
"He had a complete disruption of the biceps mechanism," Morey said. "It was a complex and difficult surgery that went very well. At this point, we are optimistic."
The 33-year-old Vaughn was scheduled to remain at the Mayo Clinic overnight before returning to his Easton, Mass., home today. The Angels said he would be re-evaluated in a few weeks at spring training in Tempe, Ariz.
The Angels announced Jan. 17 that Vaughn would require the operation, and said at that time that rehabilitation was expected to take a minimum of six months, meaning he wouldn't play before August at the earliest.
Vaughn, who said three weeks ago he had experienced pain in his arm the previous six months, hit .272 with 36 homers and 117 RBIs last year. Vaughn, who signed an $80 million, six-year contract with the Angels in November 1998, was referred to Morrey by Yocum.
Eight days after making the announcement about Vaughn, the Angels signed veteran Wally Joyner as a potential replacement at first base. They also signed power hitting outfielder and designated hitter Jose Canseco as a free agent last month.

An announcement was expected shortly, Titans representative Robbie Bohren said.

Brooke Reves is five points away from joining the 1,000-point club at Kansas, and she will likely take her place in the record book against No. 19 Colorado tonight in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I just think it's an accomplishment and
a goal that I was really aiming to do here at KU," said Reves, a fifth-year senior who transferred to Kansas after playing one season at Wichita State.

Johnson, 11th all-time in Kansas history with 1,229 points. Senior guard Jennifer Jackson is also making a run at 1,000 points, needing just 20 to reach that mark. “It’s an honor to be 20 on that list,” Reves said.
And Kansas is riding a wave of momentum after upending No. 21 Texas on Saturday in Austin, Texas.
"I know that we're very capable, but we've got to be very disciplined," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "I think all season long if you look at our record, we've been in the hunt. We've just been missing a piece here and a piece there."
The missing pieces, namely rebounding and scoring from the bench, haunted Kansas in the last matchup with Colorado.
But Reves said after the game against Texas, some of those missing pieces were finally coming together.
"I think we're getting into the flow of our offense and we're being more confident," she said. "The more we keep doing that, the more we can win games."
The Buffaloes bring an arsenal of offensive and defensive threats. Sharp shooters Mandy Nightale and Jenny Roulier are capable of lighting it up from behind the three-point arc, and together are shooting about 10 three-pointers per game. In the paint stand Randie Wirt and Britt Hartshorn — 6-foot-plus post players who dominated the boards in the last meeting with Kansas.
Along with focusing on their own strategy in recent weeks, the Jayhawks have worked to succeed one game at a time. In doing so, the 'Hawks are working to improve their record and earn a middle-of-the-pack spot in the Big 12 Tournament.
"I think that we still can get ourselves in a decent position in terms of seeding going into the Big 12," Washington said. "We want to do that and then anything can happen.
"But if we don't have the wins, it's going to need a miracle. We're going to have to do a great job in Kansas City."

'Clones deadly from behind three-point arc
By Zac Hunter
sports@kanson.com
Kansas writerwriter
No. 5 Kansas' 79-77 loss to No. 12 Iowa State in Allen Fieldhouse on Monday night was a perfect example of how long-range superiority can win a game and possibly the conference.
The Jayhawks (18-3, 7-2 Big 12) beat the Cyclones (20-3, 8-2) in almost every statistical category, including field-goal percentage, blocks and rebounds, but lost the game because of Iowa State's deadly outside shooting. Iowa State shot 11-for-17 from behind the three-point arc. The Cyclones lead the Big 12, hitting better than 40 percent.
"They really do present a lot of problems," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "They have the three perimeter players that can all shoot it."
If you can't hit from outside, you can't run with the top flight in the Big 12 Conference.
The game was a microcosm of what has been happening in the Big 12 this season. Big 12 teams have hit 35 percent of their three-pointers, and the top five in the conference are hitting nearly 40 percent of their shots.
But no one on the Kansas team thought the Cyclones would hit nearly 65 percent of its three-point shots. Whether the Jayhawks played zone or man-to-man defense, the Cyclones were able to find open looks.
"We are surprised that they shot as well as they did," senior forward Kenny Gregory said. "At the half we thought they would start missing but they really never did. We had a hand up in most of their shots, but all we can do is give them credit."
And guess who is sitting at the top of the Big 12. That's right: Iowa State, which pulled into the top spot with Monday's victory.

Baseball team names four experienced seniors as captains
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
"The captains were selected because of respect and work ethic," Randall said. "The four guys we have this year are so dependable, and they're going to give it everything they got. I couldn't be prouder of them."
Seniors Pete Smart, John Nelson, Brent Del Chiaro and Dou Dreher were voted team captains by their teammates in the preseason, and Kansas's sixth-year coach Bobby Randall commended the team's selections.
If a team is only as good as its leaders this year's Kansas baseball squad should have no worries.
worth to one of his former teammates.
The Omaha, Neb., native is in his fifth season with Kansas after taking a redshirt as a freshman. Smart was 7-9 last season with a 4.59 ERA and established a Kansas record, making 17 starts. The only returning starter with experience, Smart will play an important role for the Jayhawks in two ways: serving as Kansas' starting pitcher and working with this year's relatively experienced pitching staff. Randall compared Smart's
A rundown of the team's o PETE SMART. Pitcher
It's not often in today's sports world a college athlete will turn down a lucrative professional contract offer, but that's exactly what Nelson did after last season. Nelson was selected in the 39th round in the 2000 draft by the Seattle Mariners, but the senior shortstop decided to return to Kansas.
"He's going to make everyone better," Randall said. "It's like when I was with the Twins, Rod Carew made us all better. We watched him every day, and our pitchers watch Pete the way we used to watch Rod. Our pitchers get better every day following Pete." **JOHN NELSON, Shortstop**
The opportunity to be a leader and take Kansas back to postseason play for the first time since 1996 motivated Nelson to forget about professional baseball — at least for a year.
"I've gone through some hard times here, and this year, my senior year, is real special to me," Nelson said. "It would be incredible to do something that I haven't done here by going to the Big 12 (Conference) Tournament in my last year." The Denton, Texas, native batted .308 last season, while being named honorable mention All-Big 12 for the second consecutive season. Nelson also tied a Kansas record
and led the Big 12 with 42 stolen bases.
**BRENT DEJ CIARIO. Catcher**
With limited pitching experience returning from last season, catcher Brent Del Chiaro's job could be the team's most important. Del Chiaro saw limited action behind the plate last season, starting 32 games, but Randall said he made a leap of improvement in the offseason.
"You're going to see a much different Brent Del Chiaro this year." Randall said. "The improvement that he's made in his hitting is amazing. He was a great catcher last year, but he's improved there, as well."
Del Chiao spent the past summer playing for the Michigan Monarchs, a summer league composed of other college players, in Monroe, Mich. He helped lead the Monarchs to a fourth-place finish in the National Baseball Congress World Series.
The Oakley, Calif., native said the position of team captain needed to be taken with the utmost seriousness.
"It shows that my teammates respect me, and look up to me and expect me to lead this team." Del Chiareau said. "It means a great deal to me." DOUG DREHER Outfielder
Doug Dreher is the ultimate team player. During his first three season at Kansas, the Hays native showed the ability to contribute at five different positions. Last season Dreher saw action at all three outfield spots, second base and third base. Dreher wouldn't have it any other way.

Plane crash stirs memory for alumnus
I thought about Will Hancock last Saturday.
As I paid my $3 to purchase a program at the Kansas-Kansas State game in Allen Fieldhouse on Jan. 27, I remembered my good friend from my college days.
Will and I were among the "brethren" in a scholarship hall at the University of Kansas 10 years ago. Of the 50 guys in our hall, only four were journalism majors. Will and I were among the foursome.
His interest was sports journalism. At the University, where basketball is treated like a religion, any aspiring sports journalist has to be a phenomenal writer and information collector. Will had a knack for sniffing out a good sports story while crunching numbers and statistics into tightly packed box scores.
He was two years older than me, and as I was just getting started in the School of Journalism he already had worked on the Kansan and had earned a prestigious job working at the sports information office.
He knew all the Kansas coaches and players, and he always told stories at dinner about his conversations with Roy Williams.
Will's father was the director of the NCAA Division I men's basketball tournament, so Will had the chance to travel to arenas and fieldhouses in all corners of the nation, where he met top players and coaches in that elite tournament. Will's girlfriend at the time wore the "Baby Jay" mascot costume at all football and basketball games.
During my time at the University, I developed a love for photography. In my scrapbook are dozens of pictures from college. In many of those pictures was Will Hancock, who could always be seen reading the sports page from a daily newspaper, or holding a Wiffle Ball bat, or playing an exhausting game of ultimate frisbee.
Because Will and I both aspired to be sports journalists, we had something in common. And because he lived just three doors away from my tiny room, he was a person whom I saw and visited often.
Will graduated the same day as my older brother. As the thousands of robe-clad seniors marched down Mount Oread during commencement ceremonies, I grabbed my camera and snapped several photos of my brother and several of my senior friends, including my pal Will.
Being from a small town in Montgomery County and being intrigued with Will's connections and aspirations, I definitely was impressed with him.
When Will left college, he took a job at a university in Indiana. I only communicated with him once while he was there, and he said he wanted to come back to the Midwest — perhaps to work in the sports information office at a major university.
That was the last time I talked to Will Hancock. Imagine my surprise a few years ago when, while watching an Oklahoma State men's basketball game on television, I saw Will Hancock sitting behind the Cowboys' team bench. I discovered that Will worked in the sports information office at Oklahoma State.
More than one year ago, I was browsing Oklahoma State's web site, trying to locate Will's e-mail address. I got distracted by other things and delayed e-mailing my college friend.
I thought about Will as I sat in Allen Fieldhouse, looking through a sports program and reading about Big 12 Conference schools. "Wonder what he's up to these days at Oklahoma State?" I thought. "Might want to lot him an e-mail soon to see how he's doing."
As I returned home late Saturday from the Kansas-K-State game, I was shocked to hear the first news reports about an Oklahoma State airplane that had crashed on the snow-swept prairie of Colorado. At the time, I didn't even connect Will Hancock with the tragedy. It wasn't until Oklahoma State's sports information director Steve Buzzard made the tearful announcement naming Will one of the 10 fatalities that I remembered my friend.
Devastated and shocked, I immediately went to my hallway closet, blew the dust off my college scrapbook and began thumbing through the pictures of college days from one decade ago.
Captured on film were scenes of happy (and ornery) memories, and Will Hancock's familiar face was found in many of those pictures.
Taylor is editor of The Montgomery County Chronicle in Caney, and is a 1993 graduate of the University of Kansas.

Employers often look for altruistic employees

Even though filling breakfast orders at the crack of dawn doesn't earn Mark Nelson a paycheck, it pays off in other wavs.
Every Tuesday and Friday, the Overland Park senior gets up at 5:40 a.m. to help serve a hot meal to the homeless and other less fortunate individuals at the Jubilee Cafe in Trinity Episcopal Church, 1011 Vermont St. The cafe is one of several volunteer programs sponsored by the University of Kansas' Center for Community Outreach.
"It's nice to know that I'm helping out others, and it's fun to get to know the other regular volunteers," Nelson said while taking a short break from his kitchen duties on a recent Friday morning.
Nelson, a computer science major, has been volunteering at the cafe on a steady basis for almost a year. He said a trip he took with Intervarsity Christian Fellowship last spring

him develop various skills.
In addition to lending a helping hand and m ak i g f r i e n d s. Nelson's experience at the cafe has helped
Members of KU campus groups often work at the cafe as first-time volunteers.
"I've learned leadership and com munication skills here," he said. "Being one of the regulars, I'm able to share my knowledge with people who are new."
Perhaps no one is as familiar with the contributions of Nelson and other volunteers than the Rev. Joe Alford, who has directed the cafe since it began in 1994. Writing recommendation letters for his student workers is something Alford relishes.
"I'm just delighted to do it because I feel I really get to know the students," he said. "I get to see them under the best conditions and the worst conditions of dealing with people."
Ann J. Hartley, associate director for the University Career and Employment Services, said students shouldn't underestimate the way volunteer work could impress prospective employers.
"Sometimes students have the idea that experience is only valued by employers if it's paid, and this is not
true," she said. "Anything you do on a volunteer nature that helps to organize people or coordinates programs develops your leadership abilities."
Yet skill development isn't the only reason employers might be interested in an applicant's community service.
Diane Douglas, human resources director for Douglas County Bank, said the bank considered volunteer experience in the hiring process because it encouraged its employees to volunteer. About 75 percent of the staff participates in volunteer activities.
"Being a locally owned and operated business, we feel it's important that our employees be actively involved in the community," she said.
Nelson's future employers can count on his commitment to volunteering.
"I still plan to do volunteer work because there will be people with a lot less than myself," he said.

By November no obstacles can stop you. In December celebrate your new status.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 7. Listen to a loved one who may oppose your team strategy. The opposition is most likely right. A surprising development will probably convince you.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
If you thought you were stubborn, you ought to see who's hassling it out today. In fact, you probably will. You might be just off to one side of the argument. That's a good place to stay. Don't offer advice unless they ask for it.
+ +
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 7. Set priorities or you'll spend all day running back and forth. Organize your list so you can be more efficient.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5.
Be careful if you're a wheeler-dealer. First you
have the advantage, then the other person does,
then you. Just remember what the other person
did before, and you can come out the winner.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
You're pretty confident, but are you realistic or just full of bravado? Ask yourself that question.
The other person's not swaggering quite as much but could be a little smarter. Initially, anyway.
LION
Virgo (Aug. 25-Sept. 22) — Today is a 4.
No one seems to know what you're supposed to be doing at work. You might figure it out before they do. Wait until they stop arguing; it's hard for them to listen when they're hollering at each other.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is an 8.
You're looking pretty good. And you could be quite useful. You're a natural arbitrator, and people nearby need one. They may ask you to intervene if their negotiations are breaking down.
Perhaps you could make a tactical suggestion.
Scarpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5.
You're a great strategist, but first figure out which side should win. A current battle can help you achieve your objectives. First make up your mind, then watch for your opportunity.
LIFE JUSTICE
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is an 8.
You're not one of the students or one of the teachers. You're monitoring this class and have nothing to lose. You already know most of the answers, too. Be gentle.
SCORpio
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 4.
Pay attention to where your money is going. If anybody else is spending it, make sure it's being spent wisely. The other person may have the authority, but you have the common sense.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 7.
You'll need to use your imagination, your creativity and also your wit. Take care, however. If this is the same person you've argued with before, an old trick might not work this time.
弓
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 4.
Stop and think before you act. What you do now might be hard to undo later. An old carpenter's motto says, "Measure three times and cut once."
There's a reason for that.

INTERNET
Internet offers internship solutions
MATRIX
By Jacqueline Lenart Kansan correspondent
Many students use internet sites to browse for internships and jobs. Web sites like www.monster.com offer an easy way to find information about companies nationwide. Photo by Jamie Roper/KANSAN
It's been three weeks since classes resumed, and my parents have already started asking me what my plans are for the summer. If you're anything like me, summer seems a year away, not "just around the corner." Having a clean shirt to wear is a greater concern at the moment than getting an internship or a job.
But after hearing what my mom subtly referred to as "merely words of advice" the other night, I decided to
Jacqueline Lenart
check out a few internship sites online on a whim. As I browsed around the information super highway, I discovered that while the sites offered details about internships available in my hometown of Dallas, they each differed in accessibility and information available.
Some notable distinctions that were appropriate for rating the sites were navigability, required user login, number of internships listed for each industry and if the site had a user fee for basic information.
I began my search by using the popular site AskJeeves.com in an attempt for guidance. The site's No. 1 rated internship site was IntershipPrograms.com, so I checked it out as well as some others. To my surprise, they all shared a similar problem: a shortage of listings. Here are
my ratings for the following sites.
www.internshipprograms
com two stars
.com — two stars
Pros: The site was easy to navigate and there were multiple options of how to search the site for an internship, including by city and state, company name or most popular requested internships. The city and state search was nice because you could view all listings regardless of job type. A company research tool is offered, and profiles of people who have held internships can be viewed.
Cons: A user login required before any information was accessible. Yuck. Many popular job fields were unavailable in a number of areas or only a few were listed.
www.Internships.com -- three stars
Pros: The site was easy to navigate, and no pesky user login was required until making a purchase. The student guide provides general information on internships, how to search for, apply for and get an internship, what to expect in your internship and tips on how to make an internship experience most beneficial.
It gives details on internships for the state you are interested in a variety of choices, including accounting, advertising, public relations, banking, finance, engineering, manufacturing, technology, publishing, broadcasting and sports. The guide even contains a host of URL sites as well as e-mail addresses of helpful people to provide assistance through your hunting process
Cons: Purchase is necessary to obtain information, so there is a waiting period involved.
but there is a money-back guarantee if you are unsatisfied. The cost is low at $7.95.
www.internweb.com — two stars
Pros: This site also was easy to navigate and had no login requirement. An internship bookstore and an e-mail newsletter is sent out to inform students about the latest internships available. The entries could be searched by internship type, employer type or state.
Cons: Kansas and nearby states had little or no listings under all fields.
■ www.usinterns.com — three stars
Pros: The site had many navigation options to choose from, and no user login was required. It provided detailed, but not annoying, questions to narrow the search. Company profiles were available, and resume help was an option.
Cons: The biggest downfall was that some states had virtually no listings, and those that did had five or fewer internships. While all of the sites could have a wider selection of job types, the sites had unique opportunities for learning more about the internship and job world.
Another option available for searching for specific internships is the University of
Kansas web site at www.ukans.edu/~uces/internships.shtml
With so many readily available resources, students nationwide should be taking advantage of this opportunity to explore their career options.
Although spring break moves to the back burner while my thoughts focus on my first test of the semester this week, my future summer plans can't be put on hold if I am interested in an internship position. During the hoopla of this month, interested students should make an effort to pursue internships, online or otherwise. As for me, my priorities have shifted and I have begun to determine my summer plans. What do you know — sometimes my mom is right.
Web sites provide surfers the chance to find new careers
By Mike Ferguson
Kansas correspondent
As we all huddled around the television on Super Bowl Sunday, if you're like me, not only did you want the Giants to win but also watched for the famous Super Bowl commercials.
The trend lately has been the "dot.com" commercials, and there were a few that really caught my eye. Especially the Internet sites that make finding an occupation so easy.
Monster.com was the first of these sites I decided to check out. If a business is called "monster," they must be able to find me a great job. Since I'm hoping to get a job in the world of sports broadcasting, when searching for potential jobs I did a search of jobs anywhere in the continental United States that fit the arts, entertainment and media.
Although I agree that this is a very random search, I happened upon some rather nifty jobs for someone with my interests. From a listing of more than 1,000 potential careers, I discovered three that would suit me perfectly.
The first was a tape librarian for the cable channel Court TV. The amount of money potentially earned with this job was not included in the description. I don't know about you, but there can't be anything out there better than putting outtakes of the O.J. Simpson trial in a library of court television tapes.
I won't go into detail about the other two potential jobs I was interested in at Monster.com, but I will say they were described as telephone actor and Cirque du Soleil seamstress.
The main competition for Monster.com is Hot jobs.com and was my next target on the Web. To be quite honest, there really wasn't any certain category that piqued my career interest. I decided to click on the "arts/entertainment/publishing" section within the continental United States and specifically selected "editor." Interestingly enough, there were only 15 job possibilities.
My top three for this site were listed as radio commercial screener, assistant editor for customized tests and content editor. The best of the three was certainly the radio commercial screener. This lucky person works from 5 p.m. to 1 a.m. and the job involves "the scanning of broadcast radio tapes recorded off the air and identifying those commercials which are new."
So the next time you decide to sit down and surf the Internet, check out these two sites. Who knows — your dream job could be at the click of mouse.

Effective interview skills crucial for students hunting employment
By Patrick Cady
Kansan correspondent
The idea of sitting in front of a stone-faced employer separated by a booming desk could be intimidating to some, but there are ways to conduct a perfect interview.
The University Career and Employment Services is devoted to helping students develop skills necessary to have a successful interview.
"First impressions are often critical in the interviewer's eyes."
Director Gail Rooney said that interviewing for a job was critical because it helped the employer and the applicant find out if they had a good match for a continuing employment relationship.
"It is a two-way street," she said. "They choose you, yet you also choose them."
Some interviewing strategies are universal, when used for speaking to the head of a multinational company or talking to the manager at a grocery store, but some interviews should be approached more formally than others, Rooney said.
Gail Rooney Career Services Director
She said that the most important aspect in training for an interview is preparedness.
"Preparation means you have a good understanding of your skills, qualities and abilities, along with concrete examples of how they might benefit the employer." Rooney said.
"Appearance is very important in the interview," she said. "First impressions are often critical in the interviewer's eaves."
Other aspects of preparation also come into play.
Elizabeth Lehner, Lenexa freshman, has kept this in mind during past interviews.
"I always made sure I dressed professionally when I went in for
an interview," she said. "I don't want I give off the impression that I am a slob."
According to literature available through Career and Employment Services, prospective employers look for strong nonverbal communication. A firm handshake and alert posture during questioning also enter into an interviewer's evaluation.
"It's not just the answers the interviewer hears, it's your attitude and general demeanor during the interview." Rooney said.
Depending on the job, three levels of interviewing may be necessary.
The first level is a general interview, serving mainly as an initial assessment, Rooney said.
Following that, there may be a second, more in depth, interview that might feature multiple interviewers.
"At that point, you need to be thinking about what the company needs and what skills of yours would match their need." Rooney said.
FREQUENTLY ASKED INTERVIEW QUESTIONS
Rooney said people should realize that $50,000 is not a realistic starting salary when negotiating but knowing that if an employer made a job offer, the applicant could ask for benefits.
As a service to improve interviewing skills, Career and Employment Services, located in the Burge Union, offers mock interviews and career counseling sessions.
She said that the third stage is a negotiation, and the company might make a job offer.

Résumés should explain to potential employer applicant's strengths, qualifications for job
By Jennifer Hall
Kansan correspondent
A resume represents the first handshake between an employer and a prospective worker.
It describes a worker's abilities and shows that the person is truly interested, ready, willing and able to be employed.
The goal of any resume should be to give the employer written evidence of education, skills, accomplishments and experience of the prospective worker, which makes a key first impression on a company.
The words should be bold, confident and exciting, but in intelligent, common language. Résumés should always be honest, but include positive characteristics that can be defended and explained.
"A résumé is a snapshot of you," said Patricia Noland, KU career development coordinator. "It tells the employer about you, your qualifications and why they should hire you."
An effectively designed résumé is important. It should be filled with facts about yourself and the job that you want. Experts advise that résumés should not be modest, but should magnify the potential employee's qualities, including what makes that person special.
Visual presentation is just as important as content. A high-quality resume should be clearly organized and display information neatly.
"Résumés are the only exposure some companies may have to your achievements. A great résumé can result in several opportunities."
opportunities."
Alison Hult
Omaha, Neb. sonhomore
Omaha, Neb., sophomore
Most importantly, the facts should be accurate and correct, and the résumé should be reviewed several times for inconsistencies or mistakes.
"Follow the general guidelines," Noland said. "List all education, experience, honors, activities and references. This is a reflection of you and who you are. It should use a consistent format with a well-written cover letter that is easy to read and clear."
Before writing a résumé, it is important that students do a self-assessment by outlining and listing their skills and abilities, work experience and extracurricular activities.
A good résumé can help to present any potential employee in a positive light and open doors for the individual.
"Having an impressive résumé is very important," said Alison Hult, Omaha, Neb. sophomore. "Résumés are the only exposure some companies may have to your achievements. A great résumé can result in several opportunities."
TIPS FOR WRITING A RESUME:
List honest information
Clearly organize the résumé and display information neatly.
List honest information.
- Include a permanent address, telephone number and e-mail address at the top of the page, along with your full name.
Following the contact information should be an objective summary, which explains the job desired and your objective as an employee.
List all educational information, starting with the most recent and including any degrees earned, majors, academic honors, names of schools and grade point averages.
List all work experience, and demonstrate to the employer what your skills are.
Include places of employment, titles of the positions, dates of employment and a description of the work. Use action words to describe past duties.
Finally, include a list of references with a note stating, "references furnished upon request," instead of references' information. Be sure that your references are aware that they may be contacted.
Don't forget to spell check and edit your résumé for mistakes.
Some say benefits outweigh salary
Passionate workers a plus for non-profits
By Melissa Cooley
By Melissa Cooley
Kansan correspondent
Students hoping to enter a career in non-profit organizations must deliver more to employers than can be read on a résumé.
Non-profit employers seek an unselfish mindset that cannot be summed up in a bulleted list of accomplishments. For these students especially, job preparation involves more than accumulating credentials.
"Students should have a genuine desire to make a difference and see that difference in the community," said Ann Hartley, associate director of Career and Employment Services.
Becky Price, co-executive director of Big Brothers/Big Sisters of Douglas County, said she considered volunteer experience more important than work experience when evaluating resumes. She said her organization looks for students with a degree in social welfare or a related field.
Price advised students to pay attention to the little things when applying for jobs. Small things, like the quality of paper
on a résumé or personal appearance at an interview, can make a difference. But a lot of it, she said, has to do with the outlook of the applicant.
"Nobody's in it for the money," Price said. "If they don't have a true passion, then they won't work."
Melissa Long, Wichita senior,
has that passion. She works at
the Center for Community
Outreach and has gained experience
as its University relations
director.
She said she hoped this experience and her positive attitude would help her land a job doing public relations for a non-profit organization after she graduated.
"I want to feel good about what I do at the end of the day, and I think non-profit is the way to go." Long said.
Students such as Long, who hope to enter careers at nonprofit organizations, must sacrifice high pay for a chance to change people's lives. Price said. The entry-level salary at Big Brothers/Big Sisters is $22,000.
She said she realized that not all students could afford to go the non-profit route, but if they could, the students would receive immeasurable rewards.
"I feel like daily I change lives, and there is nothing more gratifying than that," Price said.

Students discover unusual job opportunities
Ry Amanda Wolfe
Kansan correspondent
Graduating with a specific degree doesn't keep students from finding fascinating and unique careers. For some students, finding their passion and applying that to their future has created some unusual opportunities.
Greg Paulson, a part-time student pursuing a degree in painting, has worked at Free State Brewery for seven years.
His interest in brewing beer started when he experimented with a home brewing kit, which he said produced some "really bad beer."
He eventually became involved with Free State and worked his way up from a kitchen "dish dog" to a beer brewer, one of four Free State brewers that can be seen working on the tanks behind the window.
"It itooks like we are having a good time through the window, but on the other side, it's tough work," Paulson said.
In the brewery, workers are sometimes faced with unfavorable conditions. During the summer the heat can become unbearable, and in the winter, the temperature inside the
MACHINE 107

brewery can drop as low as 50 degrees.
Because of the combination of manual labor and the science that goes into making beer, the job tends to vary from day to day. Paulson could be cleaning kegs, receiving raw materials for the beer or measuring the cell counts in the beer during any day at work.
"I definitely got lucky," Paulson said. "This is one of my first jobs that I really like."
Steve Maggio graduated from the University in December, but isn't necessarily using his business degree in his current career. Instead of taking a job after graduation, he chose to take an internship at Walt Disney World in Orlando, Fla.
Internships can help students prepare for the future as well as secure a job. Maggio said that he had always had an interest in security and that the internship provided him the opportunity to explore.
"The motto for our job is 'protecting the magic,' " Maggio said. "With 55,000 workers and 155,000 visitors to the park each day, it's a whole little city."
Maggio, who started his internship in January, is just getting acquainted with his duties. A typical day involves scouting the crowds, being the eyes and ears of the park.
The internship has its own unusual perks, which allow Maggio an inside look at the park. There is a communication center that is mission control with cameras pointed on the whole park, and radio systems that allow security to stay in touch with each other.
"It's neat to be able to go inside Space Mountain in the middle of the night while maintenance is working on it and all the lights are on." Maggio said.
Maggio also said that the internship provided an opportunity for advancement within Disney as a whole, which may give him the chance to use his business skills.
"I'm prepared to take the next step toward a management position," he said.

Some careers don't require specific majors, degrees
Bv Eve Lamborn
Kansan correspondent
Ideally, Liz Montag, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, wants to work in publishing, but she knows that she will have a tough time breaking into that field.
She considers it unlikely that she will use her degree at all when she graduates from the University of Kansas, especially if she decides not to go to graduate school.
"I'm an English major planning to work in a flower shop," Montag said. "I don't see there being many jobs in English."
Students often struggle to
find jobs in which they can use their degrees directly.
However, many career options do not require a specific degree area. With a little creative digging, college graduates can find themselves working in positions that they might never have previously considered.
Gail Rooney, director of the University Career and Employment Services, said many students find themselves using their degrees eventually or in indirect ways.
In some cases, she said,
college graduates use skills

"Students with a Liberal Arts and Sciences Degree are gaining skills to use in a variety of situations, such as communication, team work, research skills, problem solving, analytical skills and information gathering," she said.
Even if a specific major does not translate directly into a specific job or career, Rooney said that liberal arts students will have learned skills to use in a wide array
These skills make having a Liberal Arts and Sciences degree a plus for job applicants.

Students might not find the perfect job right out of college, but they can find positions that will eventually allow them to advance to the job they want.
This might enable graduates to work their way up from entry level jobs into positions where they would be applying their specific degree more directly.

International nontraditional students seek jobs at fair
By Michelle Ward writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
Meshal Alshammari turned his attention from homework and quizzes to future employment this week by attending the engineering job fair.
"This is an opportunity to look at jobs," Alshammari said. "I am hopefully graduating in May, and it is essential to find a job."
He had the opportunity to attend the engineering fair for minorities a day before the University of Kansas career fair, which is from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. today at Allen Fieldhouse.
International students must take into account their visa status when thinking about career opportunities.
Alshammari, a Kuwait City, Kuwait,
senior, is just one of a group of international and nontraditional students seeking employment at this spring's career fair.
Raml Darwish, an Amman, Jordan,
junior, said international students can stay
for a year after they graduate for practical
training. Darwish said that many don't
know about this exemption and don't take
advantage of it.
Although he plans to stay for this additional year, it would be difficult for him to stay in the United States for an unspecified amount of time.
"You have to have a special skill to stay here for a long time," Darwish said. "Any international student — with an F-1 status
— can stay for a year. I don't think a lot of students realize that and don't take advantage of career fairs."
If classes permit, he will go to the career fair today, which will have more than 160 employers attending. This will give students both national and local opportunities, said Gail Rooney, director of University career and employment services.
"We encourage nontraditional, multicultural, international and students of all majors to come to the fair," Rooney said. "It gives them an opportunity to talk to a variety of employers. For international and nontraditional students, it is a great way for them to begin networking. It is a way for them to recognize the skills, abilities and knowledge they can bring to a position."
Kate McNaught, human resource representative for Security Benefit Group of Companies, said her company has a permanent table at the KU career fair.
"I think it is important that international and nontraditional students attend the fair," she said. "They play an important role at the fair."
Brenda Van Hyning, Lenexa senior, is one of those students. Graduating with a degree in sociology this May, she will rejoin the working force. The nontraditional student will attend the career fair to see what opportunities employees can offer her, she said.
While she found out about the career fair during a visit to Strong Hall, she said there needs to be more advertising to reach non traditional students.
"The career fair is not well publicized," she said. "You have to know specifically where to go to find out about it. I don't see enough publicity for nontrads to find out about it."

Legislature may eliminate state's matched funds
By Andrew Davies
writer @ kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
University of Kansas students could have trouble preparing for technology in their careers if the state legislature adoptss Governor Bill Graves' proposed budget, which would eliminate matching state funds for technology at Board of Regents universities.
the proposed bud get would eliminate matching funds for the student instructional technology fee, which had been included in the state budget each of the last three years.
Students paid a $1 fee for every credit hour, they were
Student Instruction Technology Fee
Last year's $1.8 million from the fee was broken down in thirds as follows:
1/3 of the money goes to the College of Liberal Arts and Science and each professional school.
1/3 of the money goes toward infrastructure improvements and the libraries.
1/3 of the money is awarded to special proposals submitted to a student committee. (Provost David Shulenburger approves all proposals)
college received was based on the number of credit hours its students were enrolled in.
"Every student all 30,000 will be negatively affected if the state doesn't renew the
enrolled in. The state doubled that amount, paying the University $2 for each student credit hour.
Last year, the University received $1.8 million from the fee.
Rooney said almost every field required some sort of experience in technology, but many employers would train an employee who had basic technological skills if the individual was motivated, honest, and could communicate well.
But she said employers in the fields of engineering, computer science and information technology demanded high technological skills more than any other area.
Gail Rooney, director of the University Career and Employment Services, said technology skills were becoming more important to employers.
"We do have employers saying technology skills are important for nearly every employee that they hire," she said.
Jack Porter, chairman of the mathematics department, said the technology fee allowed the math department to update computers for all math classes.
"We've been able to keep up with technology to some extent and that's been real helpful for us," he said.
fee."
One-third was awarded to special projects submitted by different schools and departments. This year, more than 70 proposals were submitted. Thirty-eight of those proposals were awarded funds, including $30,000 for video projectors in Crafton-Preyer Theatre and $16,050 for computer work stations in the physics
Porter said the technology fee cut would lower the opportunities of math majors after graduation.
"It would certainly hurt them seriously," he said.
Richard Givens, assistant provost, said the money was divided and used in three ways.
One-third went to the college of liberal arts and sciences and each professional school. The amount each school and the

and astronomy departments. The last third went to infrastructure improvements and funding for libraries. The funds provided new projectors for Hoch Auditoria in Budig Hall and
improvements in networking and wiring that helped bring technology to the classroom.
Givens said the technology fees had been important because they put technology in the classroom.
"We didn't have very much technology," he said. "It's been a very, very important and useful part of the improvement of education, teaching and laboratory experiments for the students."
He said it would be tough for the University to improve technology without the fee because operating budgets were increasing in such small amounts.
Aaron Profiff, Overland Park senior was a member of the committee that awarded money to proposals submitted. He said losing the fee would hurt every University student and every department.
"Every student — all 30,000 — will be negatively affected if the state doesn't renew the fee," he said. "It's basically going to cut everyone's money across the board."
Montgomery said, however, that stu
Proffit said although the lack of funds would hurt everyone, a few programs could take bigger hits than others.
"I'm afraid that if the state does not provide money, certain programs will have to discontinue," he said. "My perception is probably the biggest loss will be in fine arts."
Toni-Marie Montgomery, dean of the School of Fine Arts, said no programs would be cut if the technology fee did not continue. But, she said the school would not be able to update technology as often without the technology fee.
dents could lose the experience of completing projects.
"Unless we have funding for student collaborative projects, they just can't occur," she said.
But some say the state could not afford to include the matching funds in this year's budget, which will go to the state legislature later this spring.
Duane Goossen, Kansas budget director, said the technology fee was an "extra" the state could not afford.
"It was considered to be a three-year (program), and we funded it for three years," he said. "In trying to divide up the money, which was difficult, we did not renew it for another year."
Goossen said the budget spent all extra money on education and social services. He said as part of a higher-education restructuring program, faculty received a raise of $21 million the last two years.
Don Brown, communications director for the governor, said the state budgeted
funds for the plan during the last three years, but could not afford to this year because of, among other things, increases for faculty and public safety officer's salaries.
Brown said a constitutional amendment barred the budget from spending more than was available.
Jessica Bankston, San Angelo, Texas, junior and the legislative director of the Student Legislative Awareness Board, said the board wanted to get the money back.
"I think our efforts on the 14th will be really important to get people's attention on the issue and, hopefully, get the money back," she said.
She said SLAB would lobby at the state's education day Wednesday and try to gain support.
Bankston said SLAB would also lobby at the KU lobbying day, which has yet to be set, and is discussing setting up a letter writing campaign.
Economical concerns cause banks to be wary of lending
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — Banks continued to tighten credit allowed to businesses and were more cautious about lending to consumers in the last three months, citing worries about the faltering economy, the Federal Reserve said Monday.
A Federal survey said 54.4 percent of banks reported stricter lending policies for large and middle-sized companies, an increase from 45.6 percent in the previous survey.
"In general, banks indicated that the most important reasons for tightening standards and terms were a worsening economic outlook and a reduced tolerance for risk," said the survey of loan officers from 57 large domestic banks and 24 U.S. branches of foreign banks.
On the consumer side, 20.4 percent of banks reported they slightly tightened credit standards for approving applications for consumer loans other than credit-card loans. That was nearly double the 11.1 percent from the previous survey.
However, virtually all domestic banks reported no change in standards or demand for residential mortgage loans. While the rapidly slowing economy has hurt some sectors, such as manufacturing, the housing market is remaining healthy, helped by cheaper mortgage rates.
Seeking to prevent the weakening economy from slipping into a recession, the Fed cut interest rates again last week, the second half point reduction in January. The lower borrowing costs are almed at boosting business investment and consumer spending, which would rev up economic growth.
The economy slowed dramatically in the last three months of 2005, growing at an annual rate of just 1.4 percent, the weakest performance in more than five years. Fed Chairman Alan Greenspan estimated growth in the current quarter could be very close to zero.
The severity of the drop in economic activity caught the Fed by surprise, but private analysts said the aggressive interest rate cuts with the promise of more to come should be enough to keep the country out of recession.
Greenspan said a big factor in whether the country slipped into a recession was whether consumer confidence, which had fallen from high levels, could hold up during the slow down.

Grades not always the key to jobs
Tribune Media Services
If an academic record could be measured in altitude, Jason Nordin's would be Mt. Killimanjaro
Nordin entered his first round of recruiting last year at Kellogg Graduate School of Management with a 4.0 grade-point average.
He didn't have to think long about whether to include that notable statistic on his resume. He landed the job he wanted with Marakon Associates, a management consulting firm in Chicago.
"It was to my advantage to disclose grades," said Nordin, 30. "Whether that was a deciding factor (in getting the job), it's tough to say."
Nordin's grades certainly didn't hurt his chances. But he's right. The grades question — how much do they matter in getting, or being denied, the job you want? — can be a tricky one. When asked, most recruiters and educators say, "It depends."
And one of the things it might depend on is what school you attend. Some recruiters won't shoot you a glance if you're not in the top 25 percent of your class and didn't attend a top-tier school.
"You want to make yourself the best you can
be, instead of taking classes that are easier to get a better grade. This helps allay those fears."
Neal Shah
University of Chicago student
Hoping to avoid that scenario, students at the University of Chicago's Graduate School of Business last fall overwhelmingly passed a grade non-disclosure policy. Students, however, can disclose their grades after a job offer has been made.
"You want to make yourself the best you can be, instead of taking classes that are easier to get a better grade. This helps allay those fears," said Neal Shah, president of the student government group that helped lead the effort to pass the student referendum.
Shah, a second-year student majoring in private-wealth management, is entertaining job offers and is set to graduate in June. Even
before passage of the grade non-disclosure policy at the school, Shah said he didn't include his GPA on his resume. But occasionally he was asked.
"I would tell them," he said, adding that the non-disclosure policy passed last fall went into effect for first-year students. "It would be hard to tell a recruiter that I won't give my GPA, because (the policy) doesn't affect me."
Some of the other top business schools, including Harvard Business School and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania, have policies against disclosing grades during the recruiting process. It takes the pressure off students and encourages them to challenge themselves by taking a course that won't be an easy "A," officials say.
Jerry Bohovich, spokesman for the National Association of Colleges and Employers, said that most employers agree that if a job candidate has a 3.0 or better, or has received academic honors, they should include that information on their resume.
("Employers) assume if it's not there, then (the applicant) hasn't done that well." Bohovich said.
"But even if you don't have a 3.0 or higher, but you have good experience, that will certainly work in your favor."
Still, grades are becoming a growing debate in the world of academia. Professors at colleges and universities are giving out a lot more As today than they did 30 years ago, studies show.
Students, naturally, respond that they're working harder to earn those marks. But some academics fear that so-called grade inflation could be a sign of diminishing education standards.
While educators, students and employers might disagree on how much grades really matter, even in today's hot job market, grades are used as a barometer by recruiters to select the cream of the graduating crop. Unlike seasoned professionals, students usually have less work experience, so grades can become a data point.
In the National Association of Colleges and Employers' 1999 Job Outlook survey, employers listed the top 10 credentials they look for in a job applicant. Communication skills and work experience came in first and second, respectively; grades were sixth, Bohovic said.
Princeton lifts need for additional loans
Tribune Media Services
In an effort to dull the financial sting for students and families, Princeton University this weekend announced that it will no longer require undergraduates on financial aid to take out a loan in order to pay for their education. Instead the plan, effective this fall, will issue additional grants that need not be repaid.
Approved by the university's board of trustees on Jan. 27, the plan nixes loan
requirements in favor of a package that includes grants and required contributions from students working part-time jobs, either during the school year or in the summertime.
"We want to ensure that no student admitted to Princeton feels that he or she cannot attend because it would present a financial hardship," said Princeton President Harold Shapiro. "We have made all of today's improvements with that goal in mind."
According to university records, roughly 40 percent of students in the current freshman class receive financial aid, with 62.5 percent of those students, or one quarter of the entire class, relying on loans to pay for the rest of their tuition.
receiving financial aid could graduate debt-free, provided they fulfill their financial aid and work obligations.
According to the university, students around the country who rely on student loans typically owe between $15,000 and $20,000 upon graduating. Under Princeton's plan, students
Students needing loans in the current freshman class took out an average of $2,615, according to university records. This is down from $4,000 three years ago, before the university introduced a similar plan that catered specifically to students from lower-income families.
The board of trustees approved several other modifications to the university's financial aid policy, including initiatives to help lower-income families pay for health care. Additionally, students receiving financial aid will be required to contribute only five percent of their job earnings and savings toward tuition, down from 35 percent.
The cost of undergraduate tuition and housing for the 2001-02 school year at Princeton will be $33,613.

Education key to saving money
Less spending, learning financial skills helps students with cash
By Joanna Miller Kansan correspondent
Insufficient education about financial planning and investing may leave students low on cash.
Although the University provides students with career services and information, it lacks seminars or programming to help students organize their financial futures.
Ann Eversole, interim dean of students, said students needed training to enhance their awareness of financial issues.
"I think that is an area in the higher education graduate programs that we haven't given enough attention to." she said.
While most University students focus on future careers, many overlook the value of saving and investing. A 1999 study by the American
Savings Education Council showed that only 21 percent of students ages 16 to 22 had taken a personal finance course, and 65 percent of students who were offered courses did not attend.
Of the students polled. ___ two-
thirds said they thought they should know more about money management.
Jennifer Platt, Dyer, Ind., senior, said instead of learning about money in a school setting, she learned from her parents and her work experience.
More information For additional information about investing money. See www.fool.com
"While some of us are lucky enough for our parents to financially back us, there will be a time when that isn't going to be there,"
Platt said. "We need to start making little adjustments now so we are prepared."
"I if hadn't had the experience there, I would be clueless as to how mutual funds, CDs and stocks work," said Platt, who worked part-time in a bank.
"While some of us are lucky enough for our parents to financially back us, there will be a time when that isn't going to be there,"
She said saving was important to her because she wanted the financial security and the capability to cover unexpected costs. "We just can't assume life will always be peaches and cream," she said.
Like many students, Platt said she realized she needed to begin budgeting now in order to prepare herself for financial responsibilities after graduation.
Because few students plan far enough ahead to support their spending habits, preparing and following a budget can be crucial to saving money.
ASEC polling results showed that 40 percent of students were likely

get glitches of this sort. Aside from parents' advice and hands-on experience with investing, studies showed books and online resources were commonly used and less intimidating for students gathering financial information.
Internet sites, such as The Motley Fool at www.fool.com, focus specifically on providing first-time investors with necessary know-how. The Motley Fool Web site encouraged people who had no financial experience to learn about it because of the benefits of financial knowledge.
As the Motley Fool Web site said, "This stuff isn't rocket science; we all just need to learn together."

Students often have trouble balancing bills after school because of a lack of financial education. A 1999 study by the American Savings Education Council showed that only 21 percent of students ages 16 to 22 had taken a personal finance course and 65 percent who were offered courses did not attend them.

Companies lure students with benefits
By Thomas Kolbeck
By Thomas Kolbeck Kansan correspondent
In addition to the standby of medical and dental insurance, companies are coming up with new, and sometimes odd, benefits for employees.
Health club memberships, fully paid tuitions and on-site dry cleaning. Are these the newest parting gifts for Hollywood Squares contestants? Not quite. These are some of the perks aggressive companies are offering in attempt to attract top-notch employees.
According to a survey by CareerPath.com, the perks workers are pleasing for the most include flexible hours, a casual dress code and unlimited Internet access. Employers' newfound attention to employee desires seems to be an attempt to attract the best workers for each company. But is it working?
"It's going to be something that makes or breaks my decision," said Cory Kramer, Overland Park senior, regarding employee benefits.
Kramer, a secondary education major, said benefits would play a crucial role in deciding which school district he would work in. "Anything over and above will entice you to work there." he said.
Yet many school districts in the area seem to be staying away from the "game show" approach.
The Shawnee Mission School District boasts a standard assortment of perks for employees. Dental, health, vision and short-term disability are among the district's benefits. But public schools, seldom known for their abundance of cash, probably will not be able to offer the same options that private businesses can.
DST Systems, Inc., a Kansas City, Mo. based technology firm, offers its workers a vacation package as part of its overall benefits. The company offers a one- to two-week vacation after an employee's first 90 days.
According to the Bureau of Labor and Statistics, the average number of vacation days after one year of service is 9.4. DST also offers a plan in which workers can set aside 15 percent of their earnings to buy DST stock at a 15 percent discount. In other areas of the Midwest, companies are pushing even harder to attract talented prospects.
BORN, a Wayzata, Minn.-based consulting firm, gained notoriety in *Fortune* magazine as one of the most attractive companies for prospective employees because of its benefits. BORN offers employees a laptop computer, use of a condo in Florida and a $250 allowance for clothes. Employers hope these perks will get people through the door, and that the benefits will keep workers at their companies after the initial lure has faded.

Job cuts threaten optimism behind long economic boom
The Associated Press
It was a letter from the Wisconsin-based company written to 275 workers telling them not to count on many more checks.
Employees of Textron Turf Care and Specialty Products received an unwanted Christmas surprise inside their pay envelopes just before clocking out for the holidays.
"That's when they told us we were closing," said 50-year-old Diana Bendix, who had worked on the assembly for 23 years.
Similar letters have arrived in households across the nation in recent days as a parade of companies marched out plans for tens of thousands of job cuts.
The worry now is about a domino effect — how much growing uncertainty among workers like Bendix
will cut into consumer spending, which in turn could threaten the nation's fragile economic health.
Consumer confidence is the weak link, said Louis Crandall, chief economist with Wrightson Associates LLC in New York. "This is where problems that really could be transitory could turn into a more persistent downturn."
That potential was demonstrated this week in a report showing a steep drop in the Consumer Confidence Index — to its lowest level in four years — largely because of increasing worries about job prospects.
Economists are divided over how much the layoffs will temper consumer confidence. Some say job cuts are a bitter medicine the economy must swallow to get back into robust condition.
"Ultimately, the adjustments
that the economy is making is going to set us up for the next strong period of growth," said Joel Naroff of Naroff Economic Advisors in Holland, Pa.
Others contend companies could harm themselves by firing the people who buy their products, potentially damaging the economy in ways not easily rectified with an interest-rate reduction or a tax cut.
"If you think that your job is going down the tubes, how much more likely are you going to be to take out a big loan, even if you're able to do so at very favorable terms?" asked Jared Bernstein of the Economic Policy Institute, a think tank funded partly by labor. "If the rate of layoffs continues to increase, I expect the damage to consumer confidence will be considerable."
In just a few hours last week,
some of the nation's largest employers — Black & Decker, Brunswick, J.C. Penney, Sara Lee and Standard Register — announced they would collectively eliminate nearly 16,000 jobs. That came just days after Lucent Technologies announced 16,000 job cuts. This week, it was DaimlerChrysler saying it will ax 26,000 jobs.
Cutbacks make sense to some workers. At Brunswick's Baylineer Marine boat factory outside Spokane, Wash., employees have glumly noted the unsold boats stacking up in the yard.
"It felt like it was coming," office manager Darlene Scarpelli said of last week's announcement by Brunswick that it will close the factory, which employs 130. She said she would like to remain with the company where she has worked for
eight years, but isn't sure if she wants to move.
"What's making it easier is they are giving a good severance package to employees," she said.
Workers with fewer options may be less understanding. The last time the economy slid from growth to recession, in 1990, the Consumer Confidence Index plummeted as the nation's unemployment rate climbed.
But 1990 was a very different time economically. The government reported a loss of more than 200,000 jobs in July 1990, a hemorrhage that continued for the next 10 months.
There are no problems of that magnitude this time around, and the economy is still creating more jobs than are being eliminated.
But economists say what matters is how consumers view the situation. Some suggest that workers have become more used to layoffs than they were a generation ago.
There is a chance that many of the announced job cuts will be less painful than they sound. In a tight labor market, many companies have scores of unfilled jobs that are easy to cut. Many cuts will be spread over years, and some may not happen at all.
But workers and consumers act on emotion, and layoff announcements could lead them to panic. That leaves it to the Federal Reserve, its chairman, Alan Greenspan, and Congress to reassure consumers.
"Rightly or wrongly, people do seem to have confidence in Greenspan's ability to pull the rabbit out of a hat," said economist Paul Kasriel of the Northern Trust Co. in Chicago.

TV judge popular despite bad choices
The Associated Press
DETROIT — Judge Greg Mathis isn't kidding around when he says: been there, done that.
The tough-talking, popular television judge says he did what everyone else was doing to make it in the projects in his west side Detroit neighborhood during the 1970s. At age 11, he joined a gang.
"I chose survival over what appeared to be the pie-in-the-sky American Dream that I never saw anyone reach." Maths said.
As leader of about 40 gang members, Mathis got into fights and stole cars. He was expelled from a public elementary school, two church schools and three high schools before he dropped out in 10th grade.
He was spiraling downward fast.
He turned his life around, though, and now, a year and a half after the start of his nationally syndicated television show, he is taking his message of hope to 29 cities in a musical production loosely based on his life called "Been There Done That."
It has been drawing large audiences since opening Jan. 2 in Dallas. Before the stage show closes June 11 in Houston, it is scheduled to appear in St. Louis, Atlanta, New York, and Chicago.
"It's all part of my effort to get out and inspire people in overcoming their obstacles," says Mathis, who portrays, of course, a judge.
"Many people's minuses pull them down," says the Rev. Jesse Jackson, who met Mathis in the late 1970s. "But his minutes became pluses. His minutes became evidence of his capacity to overcome odds."
Mathis, 40, credits his mother for working two jobs to send him to private school and for coming to visit him when he was sitting in a jail cell at age 17, convicted of carrying a concealed weapon.
When she made her first trip to the jail, she told Mathis he had been bad all his life and had
humiliated her, adding, "Now I'm going to die."
She had colon cancer. The news shocked him. He felt as if he had caused her cancer and thought, "If I could turn my life around, I could save her life."
He read "The Autobiography of Malcolm K" while waiting to get out, and that was an inspiration, too.
Fulfilling his mother's request and the judge's probation condition — to get himself together, Mathis obtained his high school equivalency degree within six months of leaving jail and entered Eastern Michigan University in 1978. His mother, Alice Lee, died during his third month in college.
In December 1982, he graduated with a degree in public administration and enrolled at the University of Detroit Law School.
While attending law school at night, Mathis married his college sweetheart (they now have four children) and worked on a city councilman's staff. After graduating, he served as a national assistant and Detroit campaign manager for Jackson's presidential run in 1988, then went on to work as an assistant for Detroit Mayor Coleman A. Young for four years.
"Malcolm wanted to be a lawyer and he couldn't, and he was a great role model of mine," Mathis says. "I just saw myself in Malcolm. He was in jail. I had been in jail. He did what I aspired to do, made a difference in public service."
After passing the bar exam, the state bar denied him a license, citing his juvenile record. It took Mathis three years and three appeals to get it.
In 1994, he was elected a Superior Court judge in a campaign where his opponent tried to use his criminal record against him.
"It turned out to be a positive, political success story," he says. "That is how Hollywood became interested."

"sweeps," when ratings are closely watched to set advertising rates.
Viewers didn't have to wait long. At 7:05 a.m., Kelsey Nolan made her debut at Boston's Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital and was wiped down for the cameras.
All three morning shows are trying gimmicks to lure viewers this month. At "The Early Show" on CBS, the preoccupation with "Survivor" continues: The program is sponsoring a "Survivor investment contest," with 14 teams competing at the market for a potential prize of up to $500,000.
"Today," which last year had viewers plan a wedding, will beseach them to build a house starting next week. Viewers will decide the floor plan and decorations for a house being built in Florida, which will be auctioned off when done.
There was a different kind of screaming on NBC's "Today" show. Despite the slushy February morning chill, it hosted an outdoor concert by the Backstreet Boys, drawing hundreds of fans to New York's Rockefeller Plaza.

Gender roles don't limit careers for women
Local firefighter, lube technician prove it's not a man's world

Lt. Kathy Elkins of Fire Station No. 1, Eighth and Kentucky streets, is one of the few female firefighters in the Lawrence district — and she loves her job.
"I believe I have the best job in the world," Elkins said.
She said being one of the few females working in the department hadn't caused conflict.
"In some fire departments there have been problems," Elkins said. "But not here. The guys here are very professional and courteous."
Sara Burns
Jiffy Lube technician
Elkins has many responsibilities as a lieutenant. "I am in charge of a truck and am responsible for all passengers on the truck," she said. "I also personally make decisions as far as what we do."
Elkins had doubts about becoming a firefighter in the very beginning, but her family was very supportive.
She decided to become a firefighter in 1985, after encouragement from her best friend, who was hired in Topeka.
According to many people in society, there are still jobs that are thought of as "male positions" and "female positions." Jobs that involve physical fitness testing, heavy manual labor, or involve "guy stuff" such as mechanics usually fall under the "male position" category. However, there are many women that are breaking that
stereotype daily
"Yeah, sometimes I wish I worked around girls a little more, but I probably wouldn't be doing a job I liked," Sara Burns, lube technician at Jiffy Lube on 914 W. 23rd St., said.
"I basically do everything that's in the shop," Burns said. "I change oil, check fluids, do radiator and transmission flushes."
Burns didn't think about being one of the only women to work at Jiffy Lube when she started there.
"I just moved here and needed a job," she said. "The guys here
She said with a smile that it was important to have a thick skin working with so many men. Do people act surprised when she tells them her profession?
were pretty cool when I started here."
"Yeah, some people are surprised, but most people say it's pretty cool," Burns said. "The other night I was out with my boyfriend, and this guy was trying to talk to him about cars, and I was listening and realized that I knew more about cars than he did. People don't expect that."

County issues more DUIs
About 20 arrests made in five days
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Douglas County Sheriff's department has arrested nearly 20 people in the last five days for driving under the influence of alcohol. Sheriff Rick Trapp said.
Lt. Kathy Tate said it was unusual for the department to have that many arrests in that few number of days.
However, he said he wished the department was not seeing such high numbers.
"This demonstrates there is a serious problem with drinking and driving in
Douglas County," Trapp said.
"It's not like they're targeting a certain part of K-10 or any specific area," she said.
Tate said officers were not doing anything out of the ordinary on their patrol shifts that would make the numbers higher than usual.
part of K-10 or any specific area," she said. Tate and Trapp said the arrests were made all over the county with no pattern. Trapp said he was not sure how many of the drivers arrested were University of Kansas students.
Two of the arrests were made at the sobriety checkpoint the department conducted during the weekend on Highway 59 near County Road 458. It was the first checkpoint conducted by the sheriff's department in about 10 years. Tate said.
The department recently received a grant for about $6,000 from the Kansas Department of Transportation that would help cover the costs of equipment for the checkpoint and officers' overtime pay.
Trapp said the high number of DUI
DUI ARRESTS
What happened: The Douglas County Sheriff's department made nearly 20 DUI arrests in the last five days.
arrests was part of the reason that Sheriff Loren Anderson, who served as sheriff until Jan. 8, applied for the grant.
Trapp said he, too, thought the number of recent DUI arrests was much too high. He and Tate said yesterday that the department did not average a specific number of DUI arrests per week,but,that these numbers were noticeably higher.
What it means: Sheriff Rick Trapp said Douglas County's serious problem with drinking and driving was one reason his department was starting to conduct sobriety checkpoints.
What will happen next: Trapp said he wanted to see the problem decrease. He said he hoped the sobriety checkpoints and accompanying publicity would keep people who had been drinking from driving.
Tate said arrests for driving under the influence sometimes seemed to come in groups, but she said she did not know why that was the trend. She said she was not aware of any events that might have contributed to the number of people drinking and driving, commenting that Super Bowl weekend had already ended. But Tate said it wasn't as if the arrests all started Friday.
Trapp said that this reinforced his belief that Douglas County had a problem with drunk driving. He said he had noticed drunk driving was a problem in the county when he worked as an assistant district attorney before he was elected as sheriff last year. Now that he is in office, he said the arrests show up daily.
"Not many shifts go by that there's not at least one DUI arrest," he said.

Unidentified men tie up workers, rob BarbWire's yesterday morning
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Two unidentified men armed with guns robbed BarbWire's Steakhouse and Saloon, 2412 Iowa St., yesterday morning after tying up the two female employees who were inside before the restaurant opened, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick said that money was stolen but that the amount of money had not yet been determined.
Almost immediately after the men left, one of the employees was able to wiggle out of her bindings and called the police from the restaurant, Pattrick said. Police received the call at 9 a.m. The employees did not know which way the men went when they left.
Patrick did not have descriptions of the men other than that one was considerably older than the other. Detectives searched the area but were unable to locate either of the men.
Jim Taylor, the restaurant's general manager since it opened in May 1995, said both employees were all right but that they were upset, as anyone probably would be after such a violent act. He said he was more concerned with his employees' safety than with the money that was stolen.
"The money is of no consequence to us," he said. "The fact that the people are OK is what's important."
Taylor said he had been trying to call the restaurant and the phone was busy that morning, but he hadn't thought anything about it. Then he received a call about the robbery.
He said he could not remember BarbWire's being robbed before yesterday. He said the employees had done everything they could have and should have done, but he would look at procedures to see if anything could be improved.
"Basically, the procedures were followed," Taylor said. "But even if you follow procedures for these kinds of things, they can still happen."
He did not say and Patrick did not know whether the women were managers.
Taylor said the steakhouse would have normally opened at 11 a.m. but that it opened late yesterday after the robbery. The restaurant was operating yesterday afternoon, he said, and would continue with regular business.
"It's not uncommon for a business to be robbed during opening or closing." Pattrick said. "Typically, more often than not, they happen at night, but that is not always true."
Pattrick said robberies often occurred during those hours because it was less likely that patrons would be in the business.

Real World makes a stop in Lawrence for interviews
By Sarah Smarsh
Kansan staff writer
This is the true story of a casting call scheduled to take place this weekend in Lawrence.
The Real World, MTV's popular reality show, will have an open-casting call from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday at Abe & Jake's Landing. E 8. E 13th St.
In its national tour, Bunim/Murray Productions, will land in 15 cities, including Tucson, Ariz., Portland, Ore., and St. Louis.
Sasha Alpert, supervising casting director, estimated that 700 to 1,000 people show up at each stop. Hopefuls usually do a lot of waiting and fill out a brief application. Interviews are then conducted in groups of eight to 10. Alpert said, to which a wide range of questions will be asked.
"It's anything from politics to personal dramas to sexuality — to really anything," she said. "We just try to get peoples' guards to come down, so we can see the real person."
CASTING CALL
MTV's Real World will have an open casting call from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Saturday at Abe & Jake's Landing, 8,
E. Sixth St.
Thomas Franklin.
Independence senior, was among 100 finalists for the Real World season that is now filming in Harlem, N.Y.
"That's an atmosphere that's nothing like what I'm used to," he said.
Franklin, who auditioned by sending in a video tape of himself, said casting directors were attracted to the perspective a Midwesterner would bring to Harlem.
frankin said he thought the Real World looked for specific characteristics in cast members, such as people who are "naive, Black, gay, angry."
"They kind of have the stereotypical cast member, and I could kind of fill the slot." he said.
Faced with that accusation, Alpert said,
"Definitely not — we look for people who are unlike anyone we've ever seen before.
It would be ridiculous to always have the same sorts of characters," she said.
Nonetheless, Franklin said the best advice was to "be yourself."
"They can see when someone's not," he said.
Casting director Rob LaPlante agreed that trying to dazzle recruiters with a false personality wouldn't get anyone too far.
"When we see real people, they tend to shine through," he said.
Franklin said the interview was the most opportune place to shine.
"Just deal with the questions they ask you and keep your composure," he said. "Or completely lose it, because they seem to like that too."
Despite the tens of thousands of Real World hopefuls, not everyone finds the prospect of living three months in front of a global audience appealing.
"I'd rather just chill alone and live in my own house," said Lauren Graham, Fort Worth, Texas, freshman.
For those interested in the casting call, applicants should be between the ages of 18 and 24 and should bring a recent photograph to the casting call.
Alpert said that although the location was still undisclosed, filming would last from early July to late October. It will be the 11th season for the Real World, MTV's longest running TV show.

Kansas Supreme Court declines to review bank's appeal
Watkins, Miller residents likely to gain access to trust fund records
By Cássio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
The Kansas State Supreme Court declined yesterday to review an appeal filed by Bank of America in a case brought by 13 Watkins Scholarship Hall residents.
Olga Ramm, Watkins Hall resident and Manhattan senior, said the decision was good for the residents.
"It will get us a step closer to getting the information we are asking for," she said.
The Douglas County District Court ruled that the residents should be the beneficiaries of the Elizabeth Miller-Watkins trust fund, which partially supports Watkins and Miller scholarship halls.
The Kansas Court of Appeals had already refused to rule on the case. Bank of America appealed that decision to the state's supreme court.
granted, it would have taken more time for Watkins and Miller residents to have access to the information they have been seeking.
David Brown, attorney for the residents,
said he was pleased with the decision.
"I'm looking forward for the bank and the University to provide the information the court has ordered them to," he said.
Jim Rankin, Bank of America lawyer,
declined to comment on the decision.
Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said the University wouldn't comment on the decision because it hadn't been officially notified.
Brown said that once Bank of America and
Bank of America has been responsible for managing the trust fund that Elizabeth Miller-Watkins left in her will to establish the two women's scholarship halls. Miller was built in 1926. Watkins was built in 1937. The fund, which was originally $250 thousand, has grown to approximately $3 million.
the University disclosed the information, it would be obvious that the fund wasn't managed properly.
sand, has grown to approximately 55 million. Residents and alumnae of the two halls have questioned the management of the fund since 1984, requesting a more active voice on how to invest and manage the trust.
Edited by Jason McKee
COURT DECISION
What happened: The Kansas State Supreme Court declined to review an appeal made by Bank of America in a case involving 13 Watkins Scholarship Hall residents.
What does it mean: Residents of Miller and Watkins scholarship halls will likely have access to trust fund records left by Elizabeth Miller-Watkins and managed by Bank of America.
What will happen next? The case will go back to the Douglas County District Court, which will make a decision on the case.

Gerner, an associate professor of Political Science who teaches Middle East politics, has written extensively about Israeli-Palestinian relations and is an advocate for a just and peaceful coexistence between these two peoples. The Kansan labeled her a "Paleinian sympathizer," a term she did not and would not use.

Manager reports robbery then admits crime
A manager at Burger King, 1107 W. Sixth St., reported Monday he was robbed at gunpoint while depositing some of the restaurant's money in a bank Sunday night, the Lawrence Police Department said.
Patrick said the man then led police to his residence and returned what was left of the money — $1,150 from the $1,700 stolen. Patrick said the man had spent $550 during the night.
He changed his story when police began questioning him about its inconsistencies, Sgt. Mike Pattrick said, and admitted he had made up the story and taken the money himself.

Graves' aide accused of harassing woman
Judith L. Ham said in her complaint the unwanted advances from Dan Hermes, formerly Graves' chief legislative liaison, created a hostile work environment in the State Budget Division.
TOPEKA — A former state budget analyst is alleging in documents filed with the state Human Rights Commission she was fired for complaining to Gov. Bill Graves about unwanted sexual advances from a for mer top aide.
She filed her complaint in October against the Department of Administration, which oversees the budget division. The Topeka Capital Journal reported the filing yesterday.
Neodesha explosion injures two women
NEOEDESHA — An apparent natural gas explosion blew out windows at a Head Start facility, causing minor injuries to two women in the building, Neodehesa city administrator Jim McEwen said.
The explosion, which took place in what used to be a church building, was reported at 3:55 p.m. Tuesday. One woman was taken to Wilson County Hospital for treatment of a leg contusion, and the other was given first aid at the scene but declined transportation to the hospital.
McEwen said the explosion, which did not cause a fire, appeared to have been natural gas-related, but the matter remained under investigation.

Gunman at White House shot by Secret Service
WASHINGTON — A man who fired shots outside the White House fence was shot by a Secret Service officer yesterday after a 10-minute standoff, triggering a tight midday security clamp down.
President Bush was safe in his residence exercising at the time. Vice President Dick Cheney was working in his office, and Laura Bush was at the family ranch in Crawford, Texas.
The wounded man was identified by law enforcement sources as Robert W. Pickett, a 47-year-old accountant from Evansville, Ind., who had been fired by the Internal Revenue Service in the mid-1980s.
Pickett was taken to nearby George Washington University Hospital where he was to undergo knee surgery and a psychological evaluation. He was in stable condition.
Man turns himself in after student's death
BLOOMSBURG, Pa. — A man accused of giving an 18-year-old college student a second bottle of vodka after he had already downed one turned himself in to face a charge of manslaughter.
David Klimowicz, 21, a criminal justice major at Bucks County Community College, was charged last week in the death of Bloomsburg University student Jared Drosnock. He turned himself in Tuesday and was released on $25,000 bail.
District Attorney John McDanel said authorities found film taken by Klimowicz showing Drosnock drinking during a Pi Kappa Phi fraternity party on Jan. 27.
The following day, fraternity members found Dorsnock's body. The coroner's office said he had a blood alcohol level of around 0.40 percent — about four
times the state's legal limit for driving. Klimowicz' lawyer said it was too early to comment on the charges.
'Beer polka' is back at University of Iowa
IOWA CITY, Iowa — The University of Iowa marching band can again celebrate Hawkeye basketball victories by singing the polka song "In heaven there is no beer."
The band members had stopped singing the song's lyrics this semester because a parent complained about the words: "In heaven, there is no beer. That's why we drink it here. And when we're gone from here, all our friends will be drinkin' all the beer."
But athletic director Bob Bowlsby called it "a real stretch" to link the song to binge drinking.
Miami mayor arrested, accused of battery
MIAMI — Mayor Joe Carolo was arrested yesterday for allegedly hitting his wife in the head with a teapot.
Maria Ledon Carollo, 42, suffered a golf ball-size lump and bruise on the side of her head.
Carollo, 45, was charged with battery and jailed while he awaited a hearing on bail.
Carollo had two scratches on his neck, but his wife was not charged because he was the aggressor.
The incident came three months after Maria Carolo announced she was seeking a divorce from her husband of 15 years.
Police went to the couple's home after getting a 911 call from one of the couple's daughters.

Woman not infected with Ebola virus
HAMILTON, Ontario — Preliminary tests show a Congolese woman, who arrived in Canada and fell ill with symptoms of a hemorrhagic virus, does not have Ebola, a doctor said yesterday.
But it was not yet clear what the 32-year-old woman was suffering from, Dr. Mark Lobe said at a news conference at Henderson Hospital in Hamilton.
Earlier, a health ministry official said doctors diagnosed her as having a low-grade case of malaria and were still testing for the possibility of a sort of hemorrhagic fever.
The woman, who has not been identified, was drifting in and out of consciousness when admitted to the hospital Sunday.

Columnist to accept award
By Paul Smith
Special to the Kansan
Syndicated columnist Molly Ivins will be on campus tomorrow to accept the William Allen White Foundation national citation.
Ivins' column for the Fort Worth Star-Telegram is carried by nearly 200 newspapers nationwide, and her often humorous style combined with her frequent criticisms of President George W. Bush engages or incites many readers.
"She's had a distinguished career as a political commentator and observer," foundation chairman John Lee said. "And she expresses herself in a way that leaves a reader no doubt about what she means."
In addition to the Star-Telegram, Ivins has done radio and television commentary. She has also written for The Dallas Times-Herald, the Minneapolis Star-Tribune and The New York Times, and has done freelance work for Time, Esquire, The Atlantic, The Nation and TV Guide.
"She's one of the hotter columnists we carry in terms of reader reaction," said Miriam Pepper, reader's representative for The Kansas City Star. "We get quite a bit of reaction to her column, both pro and con."
Ivins tends to anger more conservative readers, but Pepper said both Ivins' detractors and defenders
would write in — those who hated her asking the Star to drop her column, and those who loved her telling the paper to keep it.
There is no ideological test for recipients of the William Allen White Foundation award. The award has been given to conservatives as well as liberals, said James Gentry, dean of the School of Journalism and president of the foundation.
The foundation's national citation is awarded annually to the journalist who best exemplifies the ideals of William Allen White, an influential Kansas editor and publisher. Those ideals include frank and open discussion of serious issues and commentary on the ethics of journalism.
"William Allen White believed that the only way you could have a free society was to have an open discussion," said Lee, a KU alumnus as well as president and CEO of Harris Enterprises, Inc., which owns eight daily newspapers. "Journalism to him was a community service."
Ivins will address the audience for the presentation of the William Allen White Foundation Medallion in Woodruff Auditorium at 1:30 p.m. tomorrow. There is no word on the topic of her speech.
"I would expect it to be on the elections and the new president," Gentry said. "I expect she'll go for every cheap laugh she can get out of it."

WHEN JAVA IS NOT ENOUGH
Coffee shop opening bar addition
By Erin Adamson writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Dave Boulter, owner of Henry's coffee shop, 11 E. Eighth St., stared approvingly at the fruit of two years work—the upstairs of his coffee shop, which will open as a European-style bar and histro this month
And people are ready for the upstairs to open. Boulter said.
Boultier is one step closer to opening the bar because the Lawrence City Commission granted Henry's a liquor license on Tuesday.
"This one kid walked up here and said, 'My friend in Paris has a bar just like this,'" he said. "It's meant to be a quiet, bar extension of the coffee shop."
Stan Handshy, Erie junior, said he was a regular customer at the coffee shop.
"I know quite a few people who have been waiting for it to open up for a long time," Handshy said.
The raspberry and navy walls are still dusty and construction equipment is scattered in the front rooms, but Boulter said he was close to being ready to open. To keep its liquor license, Henry's has to make 55 percent of its money from food sales to comply with city requirements.
Henry's coffee shop, which opened in Oct. 1998, has always offered coffee and sandwiches. The coffee shop will keep its menu, but the upstairs bar and restaurant will have a full kitchen and restaurant seating.
Jennifer Lair of Lawrence will be the chef for Henry's upstairs. Lair, a former cook at Paradise Cafe, 728 Massachusetts St., runs her own catering business, Jezebel Catering.
"It's going to be a limited menu, changing virtually every day," she said.
Lair said the menu would be eclectic and would range from vegetarian fare to steak.
She said the upstairs would serve lunch and dinner Monday through Saturday, and possibly breakfast and lunch on Sunday. Entrees would range from $6 to $15.
Boulter said the bar would focus on new and interesting gins and vodkas, desert and port wines, and specialty coffees.
He said some long-time Henry's baristas would also be bartenders, but he would also hire some new employees.
"We're trying to get bartenders from all walks of life," Boulter said.
Adam Robinson, Northbrook. Ill. sophomore and Henry's business manager, said he liked the idea of the added space.
"Every night we have to turn people away," Robinson said. "I think it will give more people a chance to have a coffee or a drink."
Boulter said Henry's also planned to decorate its walls with work from local artists.
"We're going to have all kinds of art shows," he said. "We're going to continue that from the coffee shop."
Boulter said the last major obstacle was the installation of a fire escape from the second story to the alley, so the upstairs bar would meet city fire codes. Workers installed the fire escape yesterday.
In addition to remodeling the upstairs of Henry's, Boulter said he would turn the brick and stone basement into a bar and jazz club. He said he expected the basement to be done this spring.

Outreach bill divides Student Senate
By Brooke Hesler and Lauren Brandenburg
Kansan staff writers
Justin Mills hopes things will be different this time around.
The bill must be approved by the full Senate next week in order to take effect.
Mills, Lansing senior, is co-sponsoring a bill that would require student senators to complete three outreach assignments per semester. Last night Student Senate University Affairs and Student Rights committees approved the bill. A similar bill, also co-sponsored by Mills, a holdover senator, failed in Student Senate last semester.
Justin Marz, an engineering senator who also co-sponsored the bill and Lawrence senior, said changes made to the bill earlier this semester should satisfy some complaints from last semester when the bill failed.
"The reason the bill failed last time was because we didn't have a good way to enforce it." Marz said.
The bill would give the Outreach Board discretion regarding what is considered a worthy outreach assignment. An example of an outreach assignment would be anything from attending meetings related to the constituency group or holding forums for the constituents to discuss issues.
Some committee members said they feared the Outreach Board
would become overloaded, but Marz disagreed.
"Obviously this isn't going to be effective immediately." Marz said. "It needs some transition time so people can get used to the change."
Jayme Aschemeyer, Nunemaker senator and Wiggins, Colo., freshman, said she was concerned the bill could not be enforced fairly.
"One of the arguments we're making against the housing ordinance is that it can't be enforced. Isn't this inconsistent with that?" Aschemey said. "We can't press this. Is the board going to call 80 organizations a semester to see if people have been doing their outreach?"
Mills said senators should be trusted to be honest about their attendance.
Amber Ratliff, non-traditional senator and Lawrence senior, said the bill automatically assumed senators weren't doing their jobs. She also said making sure senators were meeting with their constituents shouldn't be Senate's job.
"People are smart enough to vote you in and vote you out if you're not doing your job," she said. "Isn't this democratic? If I'm in touch with my constituents, can't they do something about that?"
The bill also puts emphasis on senators being present at the beginning and end of roll call at Senate meetings and attending office hours. Right now, senators are required to attend
STUDENT SENATE
What happened: Student Senate committees approved a bill requiring senators to complete three outreach assignments per semester.
- What it means; if passed by the full Senate, senators would be punished if they didn't serve office hours, missed roll call at meetings or did not complete three outreach assignments.
- What's next: The bill will go to full Senate for a vote during Senate's next meeting at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday at the Kansas Room in the Kansas Union.
one office hour per week.
If a senator misses either the begin ning or ending roll call, it would count as half of an absence. Senators are required to be in the Senate office for one hour per week minimum. If a senator misses his or her office hour, it would also be counted as half of an absence. And each outreach assignment missed would count as one absence.
After two unexcused absences or three absences of any kind, the senator would be suspended.
The Finance and University Affairs committees approved a bill allocating $10,840 to the Student Lecture Series Board for a guest speaker. Ralph Nader, Ruben Carter, Dave Barry and Bernard Shaw are possible speakers.
In other business:
The Finance and University Affairs committees approved a bill granting $387 to Soma, a student organization for people questioning religious beliefs.
- The Finance and Multicultural Affairs committees approved a bill giving $810 to the Pakistani Cultural Club's Mixed Malsala, a night of cultural learning.
The Finance and Multicultural Affairs committees approved a bill allocating $5,278 to the First Nations Student Association for the American Indian Big 12 Conference and the 2001 KU Powwow.
The Finance and Student Rights committees approved a bill granting $2,001 for the Global Justice 2001 Conference.
The Finance and University Affairs committees approved a bill allocating $287 to the Sociology Club.
The Finance and University Affairs committees approved a bill giving $255 to the Fellowship and Learning Organization for the Study of the Subaltern.
The Finance and University Affairs committees approved a bill allocating $2,000 to the elections commission.
The Student Rights committee approved a bill supporting the Center for Community Outreach's application to be included in the group of organizations that receive optional campus fees.

Partial-birth abortion ban could happen
In addition to smearing John Ashcroft as racist and bigoted, a motley crew of liberal special interest groups cited his opposition to abortion as a disqualification for attorney general before his eventual approval by the Senate last week.
wonderful as abortion rights.
To hear members of the National Organization for Women and the National Abortion and Reproductive Rights Action League, you'd think Ashcroft is one of only seven or eight cave-dwelling Neandertals who still oppose something so self-evidently wonderful as abortion rights.
Speaking on behalf of the "enlightened" left-wing lynch mob, Rep. Nita Lowey, D-N.Y., said that "the vast majority of Americans support a woman's right to choose," and Ashcroft is simply "too extreme" to serve as the nation's chief law enforcement officer.
JOHN ROBINSON
This idea that the "vast majority" of Americans favor abortion rights is, however.
a contemptible lie that's been festering for too long. Actually, poll after poll shows that Americans are almost equally divided on the issue of abortion.
John McCool columnist opinion@ansan.com
In a survey taken just before the November election, Gallup reported that while 47 percent support the right to an abortion, 45 percent oppose it. Although these numbers are significant, they certainly don't suggest an overwhelming consensus either way.
A true consensus can be found, though, on the issue of partial-birth abortion, which according to Gallup, an astonishing 63 percent oppose. In fact, Congress has twice passed bans on this procedure with bipartisan support, only to be vetoed both times by President Clinton.
If you're not familiar with partial-birth abortion (technically called "dilation and extraction") here's what's involved:
In the second or third trimester of pregnancy, the doctor partially delivers the fetus until only its head remains in the birth canal. With the fetus dangling in this position, only inches from birth, the doctor takes a pair of surgical scissors and jams them into the back of the fetus' skull, then spreads the scissors to enlarge the opening. Finally, the doctor inserts a tube called a suction catheter and vacuum out the fetus's brain, killing it.
According to the National Coalition of Abortion Providers, roughly 5,000 partialbirth abortions are performed every year in the United States—a ghastly procedure that the American Medical Association has called "not good medicine" and never medically necessary to protect a mother's health.
But now, Clinton no longer wields his poisonous veto pen. And with George W. Bush having vowed during the campaign to sign a partial-birth abortion ban upon becoming president, all the obstacles seem eliminated to finally outlaw this barbaric procedure.
Expertise. Last June, in another bizarre fit of judicial creativity, the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 in Stenberg v. Carhart that Nebraska's law banning partial-birth abortion was unconstitutional, saying it placed an "undue burden" on the right to an abortion in lacking an exemption to preserve a woman's health. But if that's what will satisfy the amateur physicians on the Court, there's a ready-made solution.
A 1997 bill, H.R.3660, which easily passed the House of Representatives (287-141), banned partial-birth abortion but allowed for an exception if the procedure "is necessary to save the life of a mother whose life is endangered by a physical disorder, illness, or injury."
More than sixty Democrats courageously joined the Republican majority to pass this legislation. Congress should re-introduce the bill, pass it again and send it to President Bush for final approval.
Reasonable people can disagree on the constitutionality and moral merits of abortion, but I hope we can all come together and condemn a monstrous act of medical malpractice that is nothing short of infanticide.

First Lady sends status of women back to 1950s
OK, I voted for Ralph Nader. (As you know, he lost.)
But I have faith in the pendulum swing; if things radically change during George W. Bush's term in office, and if enough people think it is a change for the worse, then in four years a new president (learning further to the left) will repair the damage.
Instead of rehashing the same complaints about the system, I'd like to focus on an issue that often glides the spot.
even studies the spotlight - women in powerful roles.
The First Lady's name is never next to her husband's on the ballot; nonetheless, she and the relationship between her and her husband weigh into the presidential package. Not only is she a representation of societal ideals, she is also in position to influence future ideals

A recent opinion column warned people not to vote for Hillary in 2004. Unlike the traditionally accepted format of political criticism, the column did not did not bring up political inadequacies of Hillary; it simply unloaded a gender-based attack that reeked of misogyny.
Many people find a woman in the presidency completely out of the question. I fear that Laura Bush only affirms the notion that women should have a secondary, minor role in politics.
The columnist called to attention her wardrobe and complained that she was too ambitious (which is hardly a unique characteristic of a politician). It was extremely distressing to read a column composed of such aimless sexist criticism.
She represents values? She is the wife of some rich guy who has raised two daughters while simultaneously harvesting a profound respect for her favorite book, The Brothers Karamazov. Wow, truly outstanding.
Returning to the present, I don't mind if Laura Bush wants to re-enact the 1960s on her own time. I just wish the United States could have a strong, potent female figure.
I only hope that Hillary plays a prominent role in the Senate and comes back to run for president in 2004. If she does, I recommend that you look at her platform and then make a decision. If the president can't be Green, maybe she could be a woman.

Editorial
Housing law opponents cannot rest
Students contributed to the City Commission's decision to modify the ordinance.
The City Commission Tuesday night witnessed first-hand what can happen when students get mad.
The commission backtracked on a housing ordinance whose ultimate passage had seemed almost inevitable. Commissioners cited pressure from about 50 students at the meeting as they voted to raise the proposed limit on unrelated people living together in certain parts of Lawrence to three instead of two
The commission should be commended for trying to accommodate obvious opposition from students and landlords. Such a step shows that the commission is willing to work with students, a notion that students previously had reason to doubt. For the first time, the commission signaled that it was willing to listen to both sides of the debate.
The commission's sudden about-face should only strengthen organized opposition to the ordinance because it shows that such opposition does have an effect. And the opposition must strengthen now.
After Tuesday's vote, students can expect groups that back the ordinance — such as the Lawrence Neighborhood Association — to intensify their pressure on the commission. That means students must continue to fight for their interests.
Even with a limit of three people per residence, the proposal still has major problems and would fail to accomplish its goal of making family neighborhoods more livable.
Because it classifies people by family status, nontraditional families could face discrimination, as well as students looking for a place that they can afford. It also would force landlords to violate tenants' privacy by asking about their relationships
And the proposal could force students out of older neighborhoods, leaving houses empty and landlords with little reason to maintain them.
Raising the limit to three people does nothing to address those concerns. Yet it is a step forward, primarily because it shows the commission is open-minded.
But that requires that students continue to speak up for their interests. Now that students have proved they have a voice, it is up to them to use it.

Reves scores 1,000th career point
By Brandon Stinnett
Kansan sportswriter
Kansas suffered a 70-60 home-loss to Colorado last night at Allen Fieldhouse, but it was a record-setting game for one Jawhawk player.
Senior forward Brooke Reves reached the 1,000-point milestone during the game, becoming the 16th Kansas player to accomplish the feat and the second this season.
Reves joined senior center Jaclyn Johnson on the list. Senior guard Jennifer Jackson, who scored eight points against the Buffaloes, needs just 12 more to reach 1,000.
Reves' record-breaking shot came with 14:49 remaining in the second half and tied the game at 39.
"It's a great honor to be on a list like that," Reves said. "I'm definitely honored to do it under Coach Washington."
Reaching the milestone wasn't a concern for Reves or the Jayhawks entering the game. In fact, Kansas coach Marian Washington wasn't
even aware of Reves' accomplishment until the public address announcer informed the crowd after the shot.
"I didn't even know about it," Washington said. "If Brooke knew about it then she knew more than I did. I'm happy for her. Our focus is on these seniors."
"Jaclyn worked very hard," Washington said. "There were occasions when I didn't even want to see her stepping out and facing up and doing anything but driving to the hole. We were able to find her down low. She's just a warrior on the block."
The Jayhawks' main focus during the game was on Johnson, who led all scorers with 25 points.
Colorado upped the pressure on Johnson in the second half, which created more open shots. But the Jayhawks couldn't capitalize, hitting just two-of-eight shots from behind the three-point arc.
"I was just playing inside and they couldn't stop me so they just kept going to me." Johnson said. "They
wised up and started double-teaming, but we just weren't hitting from the outside."
It was Kansas' sixth loss at Allen Fieldhouse this season and its second to Colorado. The Jayhawks (9-12, 3-7 Big 12 Conference) fell to the Buffaloes, 72-63, in Boulder, Colo., on Jan. 20. It was the same story in both games. Kansas couldn't keep Colorado (16-5, 12-3) away from the free-throw line. The Buffaloes converted on 22-of-26 free-throw attempts, compared to just four-of-six for the Jayhawks. In their previous meeting, Colorado was 18-for-26 from the line.
Reves said she was encouraged by her teammates' refusal to give in late in the game.
"If you take the free throws out of it, we beat them in every area of this game," Johnson said. "Except for the free-throw line, there's no area that we lost."
"I think everybody fought tonight," Reves said. "In past games that we lost, I felt that we lost some people here or there."

Missouri too much for Kansas State
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Brian Grawer scored a season-high 22 points and hit the game-winning three-pointer with 15.4 seconds left, helping Missouri, in its first game without injured Kareem Rush, beat Kansas State 70-66 last night in the Hearnes Center.
Grawer, who is averaging 7.2 points, helped help the void left when Rush suffered a season-ending thumb injury in a loss at Oklahoma State on Monday. Grawer was six-of-12 from three-point range and played all 40 minutes.
Besides Rush and his Big 12 Conference-leading 21.9-point average, Missouri also overcame a poor game from No. 2 scoreer Clarence Gilbert. Gilbert played despite having the flu and scored only two points. But Gilbert's points were big — a pair of free-
throws that were the game's final points with 4.3 seconds to play after Quentin Buchanan shot an air ball from the baseline for K-State's last chance.
Freshman Wesley Stokes added a career-high 19 points — including four three-pointers — for Missouri (15-7, 6-3 Big 12). Freshman Rickey Paulding, who replaced Rush in the Missouri lineup, had 10 points in his first career start.
Matt Siebrandt scored 11 of his 20 points in the final 5:30 for K-State (8-12, 2-7), which has lost seven of eight games. Siebrandt also had 20 points in K-State's 80-59 victory against Missouri in Manhattan on Jan. 16.
Siebrandt scored seven straight points, helping the Wildcats take a 62-54 lead with 4:08 to play. He had K-State's four points the rest of the way.
Jan. 29. Stokes, who was five-fire-eight from three-point range, topped his previous high of 11 at Indiana on Dec. 18.
Grawer's previous season-high was 14 points against Kansas on

Nebraska, overtime and two emotional games in three nights were too much for Oklahoma State.
At No. 21 Oklahoma 80, Texas Tech 72
Nebraska held off the Cowboys in overtime in Oklahoma State's first road game since two players were killed in a plane crash following a game at Colorado last month.
Kimani Friend responded to losing his starting job with 17 points and eight rebounds for the Cornhuskers (11-11, 4-5), who gave up two second-half leads and nearly let it get away in overtime against the Cowboys (14-5, 5-3).
Okahama's J.R. Raymond is in the kind of groove where even bad decisions come out looking good.
Raymond, who had averaged 20.6 points during the Sooners' five-game winning streak, had a poor shooting night but came up with a clutch three-pointer that helped Oklahoma hold off Texas Tech. The Sooners (18-4, 7-3) outscored Texas Tech 13-3 in the final 2:23 after the Red Raiders (8-11, 2-6) had erased a nine-point second-half deficit.
Texas 77, at Colorado 72
Darren Kelly scored 25 points, including nine down the stretch, and Texas scored the game's final eight points and rallied past Colorado.
Texas (17-6, 6-3) trailed by seven points with seven minutes left but used a five-point possession and cut the deficit to two against the Buffaloes (19-4, 6-).

Allen optimistic about recruits
KANSAN.COM/SPORTS

Kansan sportswriter
After three strenuous months that ended with a seven-day geography lesson, the Kansas football staff signed a deep recruiting class yesterday that left its coach optimistic.
Finding many of these talents required traveling. Last week alone, Kansas coach Terry Allen made personal visits to Oakland, Calif., Phoenix, Dallas and Orlando. Fla.
"We stacked up some frequent flier miles," Allen said during his first press conference since the end of the season. "I think with the disappointment in the conclusion of this year that this was a really good recruiting class. This group is an excellent fit."
In all, 19 players signed letters-of-intent with Kansas yesterday. All but two signees are current high school students.
In addition to the players who signed, seven junior-college transfers are already at Kansas taking classes and practicing with the team.
Dan Lewis, Brock Teddleton, Jawad Pearson and John Harvey are four big-bodied offensive linemen who enrolled at semester break.
"We needed some help immediately in beefing up the offensive line," Allen said. "I think the smallest guy on the offensive line is 6-foot-6 and
Allen: Likes Kansas' recruiting class
weighs 295 pounds."
Allen said he was also pleased with his high school players' desires to become Jayhawks. He especially raved about Marshall Chiles, a running back from El Reno, Okla., and Banks Floodman, a defensive back from Wichita.
"The guy who jumps out at me is Banks Floodman," Allen said of the 6-3 safety from Wichita Collegiate. "He was committed to Kansas very early. But just by watching
Chiles' stats and size had many college coaches calling, but the player who riveted Allen most was relatively anonymous in the intense recruiting game.
"Marshell Chiles scored 44 touchdowns his senior year in high school," Allen said of the 5-10, 200-pounder. "He was the class 5A state player of the year in Oklahoma, and we all know the caliber of Oklahoma football."
him and having him at camp, I think he is going to be an outstanding football player."
The only player to withdraw his orignal commitment to Kansas was Derrick Ming, a versatile two-way performer from St. Louis who will play linebacker at Missouri.
Louis who will play linebacker at Missouri. Now that the recruiting battles have ceased, Allen and his staff can concentrate on immediate football matters, such as finding a defensive coordinator. Leading candidate Kurt Schottenheimer was named the defensive coordinator of the Washington Redskins last week.
"Blood runs a little thicker than water." Allen said. "There are a lot of great coaches out there and I would like to get the best person for the job. With all the recruiting going on, I thought time was not as important. But I would like to get it taken care of within the next week."
Chenowith: 'I'm doing great for us'
By Chris Wristen

Kansas sportwriter
Eric Chenowith used to hang his head.
Eric Chenowith used to hang his head. He'd turn the ball over and trot down the court, frustrated with himself. He was discouraged as fans' boos rained down on him.
That was last year.
This year's Chenowith has a new mentality and a new message: If you don't like him, so what?
"I don't care what fans think about me," said Chenwouch, Kansas senior center. "I used to and it started to bug me so now I don't care. I just sit back and laugh."
"All of those people that are saying bad things about me probably grew up in Kansas and it was their lifelong dream to play here," he said. "I get to play here and they don't, so I win."
No. 5 Kansas has been winning with him, too.
He's averaging 10.8 points and 8.4 rebounds and 1.6 blocks per game for the Jayhawks (18-3,
7-2 Big 12 Conference),
up from his 8.6 points,
5.6 boards and 1.5 blocks of a year ago during his junior slump.
On the outside his comments might breed pure arrogance, but in

Chenowith: Doesn't care if fans don't like him.
context the remarks may be merited. The senior center doesn't hate fans — he just doesn't care to hear people screaming "Dunk it!" when he's 15 feet from the basket.
"I think it's fun to piss those people off." Chenowith said. "Last game I made a good drop step and got fouled. You could hear stuff from the crowd, like, 'Come on.' That's tough to play here if you make a good move and draw a foul and people are still on you. The next play I made a drop step and made the layup and I still heard stuff. It's like, 'Whatever, I don't care.'"
What Chenowith does care about is helping the Jayhawks win, and his role is playing defense and rebounding. He doesn't have to score, that's what sophomore forwards Nick Collison and Drew Gooden are for. Chenowith is fourth in the Big 12 in rebounds and second on the team in blocked shots.
During the last two games he's tallied 19 points, 19 rebounds, five blocks and hit seven of 10 free throws, a line Chenowith is pleased with.
He will try to help Kansas get its 19th victory of the season when Oklahoma State comes to Lawrence on Saturday. It will be the Cowboys' third game since two of their players died on a plane crash on a return trip from a loss at Colorado. Chenowith said he expected a respectful mood in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I think I'm doing great for us," Chenowith said. "I'm pretty efficient for us. When I'm in the game I do things for our team to help us play better. Whether it's setting a screen, rebound, finish a shot or make free throws I try to do something when I get in there to help our team."
"We have good fans." Chenowith said. "I don't think they're going to be taking any shots at them on anything like that."
Kansas coach Roy Williams said his team would be prepared and wouldn't let up.
"I want them to have a great deal of concern and care for the people involved at Oklahoma State and the basketball family," Williams said. "But when the game starts, you have to think about the game. If not, we shouldn't play them."

Poor outside shooting and little bench support bury 'Hawks
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
While the clock was running, the Jayhawks did almost everything right last night.
The Buffaloes (16-5, 7-3 Big 12 Conference) buried 22-of-26 shots from the line and knocked off the Kansas women's basketball team 70-60 at Allen Fieldhouse.
Free-throws aside, the Jayhawks (9-12, 3-7) outplayed the Buffaloes in many aspects of the game, including interior play and ball handling. But poor outside shooting and lack of production from the bench plagued the Jayhawks all night, and squeled any opportunity to take the lead.
But No. 19 Colorado took control of the game with the clock stopped.
"We did a really great job in every place except the free-throw line," coach Marian Washington said. "If our outside game was on, I thought it would have been a closer game."

game, they had no answer for it." senior center Jaclyn Johnson said. "We were in the game the whole time."
Johnson tied her career-high with 25 points and added six rebounds, but it was not enough to fend off the aerial attack the Colorado backcourt generated.
Colorado's junior guard Jenny Roulier buried three 3-point baskets and finished with a team-high 13, while sophomore Sabrina Scott shot 2-0-2 from 3-point range and ended with 11 points.
Down but not out, Kansas continued to battle, capitalizing on the Buffalooes' 22 turnovers and attacking the offensive boards. The Jayhawks pulled down 13 offensive boards, scored 11 second-chance points and
converted Colorado's turnovers into 20 points.
"I don't think it was a lack of aggressiveness." Washington said. "There are occasions when I think we are being very aggressive, but we're not always getting the call."
Senior forward Brooke Reves scored her 1,000th point with 14:49 to go, tying the game at 39:39 — the closest the Hawks came to taking the lead after the early minutes.
Reves, who turned in her fifth double-double of the season with 10 points and 13 rebounds, became the 16th Kansas women's basketball player to break the 1,000-point mark.
Game notes
"I look back at that list and it's just an honor," said Reves, a Denver, Colo., native. "I would have rather scored no points and won the game. This was a really big victory for me to have. I really wanted this game."
Senior guard Jennifer Jackson needs 12 points to become the 17th Kansas women's basketball player to score 1,000.

Sometimes good recruits come in pairs
whether it's finding Super Bowl tickets or filling an ark with animals, it's always better to grab things in pairs. From the Blues Brothers to Batman and Robin, twosomes have always been great to have on your side.
Most of you have probably heard the old expression "two heads are better than one." This common saying is often true, but it isn't limited strictly to "heads." It actually applies to many things in life.
The same holds true for blue-chip college basketball recruits. Just ask Kansas coach Roy Williams.
Williams spoke yesterday about two of his prize recruits for next year, Aaron Miles and Michael Lee — a backcourt tandem from Portland, Ore.
"Both kids have played together for a long time and they know each other," Williams said. "They're very, very, competitive kids. They're really good."
When Miles and Lee committed to Kansas last fall, the Jayhawks solidified their backcourt for the next few years. Miles is a 6-foot-1 point guard who some consider one of the top 15 recruits in the nation.
Though less heralded than Miles, Lee should also bring a lot to the table for Kansas at shooting guard. Lee is 6-2 but is a bulky 210 pounds and has shown great ability on both sides of the floor. Lee is an excellent defender and can also score from the outside. He's a tremendous athlete who could have easily played Division I football as well—he played six positions on the high school gridiron.
Very little has changed this season for Miles and Lee. They dropped a couple of games to nationally-ranked teams, but still are No. 1 in the state and looking good at 16.2. Lee is averaging 20.3 points, while Miles is putting up 19.6 and dishing nine assists. This backcourt tandem goes together like peanut butter and jelly and will make a great package deal for Williams next fall.
"Obviously, they're pretty good players individually, but when you put them together, they're as good as any backcourt combination in the entire nation," said Marshall Haskings, Miles' and Lee's coach at Jefferson High.
Recruiting in pairs has paid huge dividends for several college basketball powerhouses, and you don't have to look far to find them. Two of the best programs in the Big 12 Conference have had recent recruiting classes that included high school teammates.
Former Missouri coach Norm Stewart got a sweet deal in 1988 when he landed two kids from Dillard High School in Fort Lauderdale, Fla., instantly rejuvenating the Missouri program after a couple of down years. The Tiger tandem was Kevon Dooling and Clarence Gilbert.
A year earlier in 1997, Texas welcomed two Austin natives to join the Longhorns' program. They had previously played together at Westlake High School, and though the honeymoon didn't last long, it was still a great recruiting class. Texas had landed Chris Mihm and Luke Axtell.
While Mateen Cleaves, Morris Peterson and Charlie Bell all went to different high schools in Flint, Mich., recruiting the familiar three known as the "Flint-stones" helped bring a national championship to Michigan State.
The additions of Miles and Lee alone are not likely to bring the national title back to Lawrence, but they do help comprise what looks to be another great recruiting class for Williams. The fearsome twosome from Portland will remain intact, and by now we all know the power of a pair.
Just as Batman and Robin helped to make Gotham City a better place, Miles and Lee will do the same for Allen Fieldhouse.

Mary and the flowers.
Englewood Florist, 1101 Massachusetts St., offers the traditional variety of Valentine's Day flowers. The most common selection of a dozen roses can cost up to $75 at this time of year.

Ways to spend Valentine's Day By Meghan Bainum & Erinn R. Barcomb Jayplay writers
Students planning to celebrate Valentine's Day have less than a week to figure out what to do, whether it's spending the evening with a significant other or celebrating singlehood with a night on the town with friends.
Either way, celebrating the holiday can confuse and befuddle the average lover. Jayplay offers the following suggestions for celebrating the love of a lifetime — or at least making time pass quickly with whoever you're stuck with next Wednesday.
The couple with money to burn:
Money's no object to you. Your sweetie — and credit card company — will love the effort you'll go to just to make the night special, or at least
Edible
Dresses
For the amorous couple, kinky sex toys and clothing such as fuzzy handcuffs, motion lotion, knee-high patent leather boots or edible underwear could make Valentine's day one to remember. Photo by Nick Krug /KANSAN
expensive. Because your budget is pretty much unlimited, pull all the stops for a traditional romantic evening.
To eat: Dinner for two at Shaylar's, the KC Strip, of course. ($44, without tip)
To drink: 1988 Dom Peringon Rosé, savoring every sip. ($250)
Flowers: A dozen red roses. ($75)
**To give:** 1-carat heart-shaped diamond solitaire. ($8,000)
**To do:** You'll be so busy flashing your triple-digit bill you won't have time to do anything else.
Listen to: The Best of Frank Sinatra, a swinger much like yourself ($15)
The nature-lovers:
Boxes of chocolates? Too much excess packaging. Valentines? Only if they're soy ink on recycled paper. The conventional Valentine's Day is too earth-unfriendly.
Total: About $6,384. You'll be VISA's, Mastercard's and American Express's favorite customers — until you realize there no way you can make the minimum payment.
Share your love for nature — and each other — by bypassing the traditions and embracing a unique, outdoory experience.
To eat: Plincic for two (probably indoors at this time of year) of organic pasta with mushroom flavor and white truffle and organic lemon tomato sauce. ($8)
■ To drink: Fantasia Tropical Tango smoothie:
($3)
Flowers: You'd rather see flowers in the ground than in a vase. How about a trip to Powell Gardens, botanical gardens in Kansas City, MO.
**To give:** Deluxe Tinker Swiss Army Knife. ($45)
**To do:** Watch the eagles nest near the river and walk around the Baker Wetlands. Depending on Wednesday's weather, you might have to take a rain check (free).
Listen to: Pure Moods: Vol. 3. ($15)
Total: About $10. With all the money you saved on a nontraditional Valentine's Day you can make donations to your favorite causes, just as long as both of you can agree on one.
The punk/goth/metalhead couple
The only teddy bears you like are the multi-colored psychedelic ones on that Grateful Dead shirt in your closet. You don't like much of anything soft or frilly, so why should Valentine's Day be that way? Just think of the couple dining to the sounds of death metal in that Magnavox commercial.
*To eat: Smoke clove cigarettes ($4) and coffee — black. ($2)
**Flowers:** Yeah, right. How about Virgin/Slut bubble bath instead? ($16)
To give: Matching Old English arm tattoos of each other's names, a la Billy Bob Thornton and
■ Listen to: Type O Negative's Bloody Kisses.
($15)
Total: About $162. Because, what's a $125 gift when a tattoo lasts forever? Just hope your love lasts as long.
Although you've been seen getting hot and heavy everywhere from the stands of Allen Fieldhouse to your living room couch, what better reason to get your groove on than Valentine's Dav?
The Amorous Couple:
And, if you take a couple of extra minutes to plan your hot and heavy Feb. 14 tryst, you may have an experience of sexual ecstasy that will register on the Richter scale in California. If your way to show your honey that you are en fuego with love is by turning up the physical heat, than a Valentine's Day full of sexual delights and surprises is right up your alley.
To eat: Why take time out for dinner? Sustain yourself with Naked and Naughty C chocolate fin
To drink: Several bottles of Gatorade to build up electrolytes. ($4)
For a couple with money to burn, a bottle of fine wine could add to a romantic evening together. Photo by Nick Kruge/KANSAN
**To give:** Victoria's Secret teddy ($68) or Calvin Klein boxer brief. ($18)
*Listen to:* Keith Sweat; Make it Last Forever to set the mood. ($15)
**To do:** "Spin for Sin" sex game. ($18)
Flowers: You won't have time to enjoy them Try the Condom.com condom country sampler 24 pack. ($15)
**Total:** About $79. Why not splurge a little on sexy gifts this Valentine's Day? You probably don't get out of the house to spend money on any other type of entertainment anyway.
The non-romantic couple
Valentine's Day is just another day for you and your loved one. You're not impressed by the plethora of diamond commercials, and the colors red and pink make you want to vomit. Your motto: Why spend money because of a long-dead martired saint?
- **To eat:** A meal of Hamburger Helper Cheeseburger macaroni ($2), and for desert, some simple but-tasty Jell-O dessert delights bars. ($4)
To drink: You have a water facet.
Flowers: Ha!
To do: Spend a the evening watching TV, doing homework, or playing a board game together, like Trivial Pursuit. ($27)
Total: About $33. Your cheap and effortless celebration of the holiday serves as a reminder of how ridiculous the holiday can be. Needless to say, you're not in Hallmark's target demographic.
The single (and loving it) girl;
The one accessory you don't need to make this Valentine's Day one to remember is the burden of a significant other. Instead of spending money to say "I love you" to someone else, spend it all on loving yourself — you don't need another person to make you feel special.
Whether you kick back with your friends or spend the evening by yourself, it's all about you, baby.
To eat: Load up on goodies at your local grocery store. Buy whatever your heart desires no matter the cost on your pocketbook or waistline.
(about $20)
*To drink: Bottles of so sweet and fruity Sangria.*
($3)
*To give:* Indulge in a just-for-me pleasure like a cashmere sweater ($195)
To do: You (and five of your best friends) have a spa-night in with the Jaqua Girls paama party kit. ($38) Buy a girl-power movie like *Thelma and Louise*. ($14)
■ **Listen to:** Down-with relationships power ballads on albums like No Doubt's *Tragic Kingdom*. ($14).
**Total:** About $214. Revel in the gifts you give yourself. It's doubtful your hypothetical significant other would even consider buying you a $100 sweater.
The single (and loving it) guv:
No love life? No problem. While your attached friends are dealing with dinner reservations and worrying about that "perfect" gift, you're free to sit back and laugh at the stupidity of it all. Gather together a big group of single friends and have the ultimate debacherous blowout.
**To eat:** Skip the suit-and-tie route and order pizza for your dinner-time pleasure ($10)
- **To drink:** Six-pack of your favorite cheap beer.
  (about $5)
To do: Go out to a non-romantic movie like *Hannibal* or *Saving Silverman*. ($$)
**To give:** Celebrate further, head out and celebrate your singlehood at a strip club or bar.
(about $20)
Total: About $70. Fifty dollars on a strip club?
Well, you didn't have to buy a $50 bouquet this year ...

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 8)
A confronting situation forces you to take action. Don't worry. By the time the dust clears, you'll be in a better position. You're pushed out of your comfort zone in February. Look for what you need in April. You won't have to go far. Work with a partner to get what you need in May and what you want in June. Look out for another's interests in July, and take somebody else's coaching in August. Use somebody else's money in September. Follow a strategist's leadership in November, even if you don't feel like it. Don't let friends talk you into debt in December.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6. Initially there's some confusion. You're torn between what you want to do and what you should be doing. Well, here's the answer: Do what you should be doing first, and you'll end up in the right place at the right time.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
You could be the lucky winner if you're careful.
That shouldn't be much of a problem because that's your natural way. Be patient. It may be late tomorrow before the results are in.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
You might think you know everything, but that feeling should be short-lived. Before long you'll wonder if you know anything at all. Don't despair. This is part of the learning experience, and you're right in the middle of it.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 4. Everybody thinks they're a big shot, smooth talker and shrewd manipulator — and some of them might be. Keep your eye on the shell the pea's under, or you could wind up penniless. Don't bet more than you can lose.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Taking a bold stance is good. Of course, you already knew that. That's one of your secrets to success. A better one today would be to know the numbers. Don't take anybody else's computations.
Figure them out yourself. *
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Today is a 5.
Keep your head down and let the hurricane pass.
You can't do much to change the way things are going anyway. You'll probably be called upon to clean up the mess, which is fine. By then they'll liseen to your opinion.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
Your romantic plans may get messed up, and it isn't even your fault. Actually, you're in a better position than you think. Your sweetheart will come to you for good advice, so think of something and have it ready.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5.
A seemingly impenetrable barrier is about to crumble. You and your friends will have cause for celebration soon. Don't tip your hand by letting others know what you've already figured out.
P
2
们
LIVING WITH THE LION
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 7.
The plans you're making still need revision. Hurry up. You'll have to take action soon. Abandon some of the decisions you've made to make room for creativity. Sharpen your pencils and get yourself a big eraser.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Just about every you suggest meets resistance.
That's OK. You're just trying out ideas, right? Listen carefully and take notes. You'll figure out which of your many theories will actually hold water.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6.
Carefully laid plans are quite likely to go astray over the next few days, Luckily, you don't have to rely on carefully laid plans. Others will look to you for advice, with good reason. You'll be the one with the smile on your face.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 5.
If you're contemplating a major purchase, do more research first. You'll find out why you shouldn't buy several items that you thought would be fine. Better you should learn this before, rather than after, you spend all your money.

Girlfriend's parents deserve respect
Anonymous
I am dating a girl of a different race whom I am CRAZY about, but her parents don't like me because I am not their race and they are into the arranged-marriage thing. Every time I go over to her house, her dad always gives my dirty looks and says offhand comments about me. What should I do?
Regardless, you still need to respect your girlfriend's parents. You need to treat them well, despite the offhand comments you hear.
Dear Anonvmous.
Interracial dating has sometimes caused problems within families. It is silly because we're all human beings, and skin color is, well, only skin deep. We all have the same feelings and needs to be fulfilled.

After all, they are her parents and only want what's best for her. The way you treat them and her will be a reflection of your good character.
Not only should you treat them with respect, but also treat her with respect. Parents cannot fault guys who treat their daughters well. I would say to
Shell
ask shell
gradually spend a little time with the parents when you visit their house. Most importantly, though, respect their authority and wisdom. Learn from them and try to see where they're coming from.
The worst thing you can do is treat them poorly by ignoring them or retaliating against them. A good proverb said: "You can attract more bees with honey than with vinegar." This means you will get further with her parents by being nice and respectful than by being distant and angry.
Good luck with your relationship. And remember, if it's meant to be, it will be.
Variety key to workout success

You've probably heard variety is the spice of life, but did you know it applies to your workout as well?
As a trainer I constantly come across people who have been doing the same workout for way too long and aren't seeing optimum results. Or I talk to guys who are still doing the same workout their high school football coach taught them. Sound familiar?
For a beginner, I recommend starting with a basic strength training workout for approximately 10 sessions, depending on your fitness level. After that, stick to a workout for six to eight sessions. For someone
at an advanced level,
try changing your
workout every
four to six sessions so you
are constantly challenging
your muscles.
---
This may sound too fast, but studies show muscles become trained
and plateau very quickly. To achieve maximum results, you must change your routine.
This does not only apply in the weight room, so try spicing up your cardiovascular workout as well.
Also, if you do cardio and weights
the same day, do your weights first then the cardio workout. You need your strength for lifting, and then it is easier to burn existing fat during your cardio workout. Just be careful not to train too much — keep your workouts around an hour. Any more than that and you risk fatiguing your body and burning muscle instead of fat.
Julie Taylor
Remember, there are no real rules on how to work out, as long as you are safe, use a variety of exercises and see results. If you are looking for new exercise ideas or have questions, e-mail me at jayplay@kansan.com.

Valentine's Day a lonely time for columnist
By Greg Zielinski
joyplay @ kansan.com
joyplay columnist
I have always loved exchanging the paper Valentine.
I used to give one out that said, "You're a blast." The funny part was a picture of a space shuttle on the front "blasting" off. It was a lot more successful in second grade than it was last year, though.
I'm thinking this year I will hand out the more sophisticated, "Here is a kiss from me to you." There will be no cute kiss in chocolate form, though, and when she looks up with disappointment, I'll plant one smack on her unsuspecting pie-hole. That's right, Shania Twain, this is your lucky year, assuming your security does not interfere like they have on our past twenty-such romantic encounters.
Zielinski
10 TOP TEN
However, not everyone has a sweetheart with whom to share the day. In fact, you may never find someone so compassionate to see beyond your football-sized goiter to the beauty inside of you. So stop crying like Tammy Faye Bakker being pepper-sprayed and enjoy this column...or at least use it to soak up your bitter, lonely tears, you baby.
Top Ten Reasons why I won't have a date this Valentine's Day:
10. My idea of an effective pickup line is,
"Hey sugar, I write for the *kansan*."
***
9. While some women might be willing to lower their standards from tall, dark and handsome to something slightly less idealistic, few women lower their bar below "maintains basic levels of personal hygiene."
7. They say French is the language of love.
How do you say "Please. Take pity. I'm desperate" in French?
6. Although Lawrence will likely experience frigid temperatures on Valentine's day, to the best of my knowledge, the weather will still remain quite warm in hell.
5. No matter what I try to do, I just can't seem to impress Jody Foster.
4. Despite what you may have heard, the scent of rotten cabbage is NOT an aphrodiasiac.
3. I don't have any kids who could cleverly manipulate events to sucker me into an awkward, yet quasi-romantic relationship with Meg Ryan atop the Empire State Building.
2. Women love a guy who can make them laugh.
1. My girlfriend is 600 miles away in Colorado but she still reads my lame column every week, so happy Valentine's Day Anjali. You're way prettier than Shania Twain.

Professor down with the blues
By Aaron Lerner
joyplay@kansan.com
Jayplay writer
Kurt Crandall was 22 years old and in his final year of graduate work at James Madison University in Charlottesville, Va., when he first got the blues. His girlfriend had just broken up with him, his bank account was empty and he was unemployed.
He was down, but not out.
He threw in an old Muddy Waters LP, felt beckoned by the soulful sounds of the blues and decided to give the harmonica a try.
Ten years later at age 32 and within months of earning his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas, Crandall still has the blues, but this time they're more than just a feeling.
They're the catalyst that has rapidly taken him to the top of the Midwest music scene.
A Psychology 104 teacher by day, Crandall recently spoke of his long journey as a blues man.
Q: Why did you choose the harmonica, and how did you learn to play?
A: I always liked the old, rustic sound that the harmonica could give the blues. When I saw an ad for a small "Communiversity" harmonica class, I decided to give it a shot.
It only offered six lessons, but when I went to see the teacher of the class play in his band one night, I was blown away. I knew afterwards this is what I had to do.
Q: Who were some of your early influences?
A: I listened to a lot of the younger guys like Magic Dick from the J. Geils Band and Paul Butterfield before I really got
into the older masters such as Big Walter Horton, Little Walter, Sonny Boy Williamson and James Cotton.
Q: When did you start playing in bands?
A: As a grad student at James Madison, I was doing a lot of fratrock type stuff with a group of undergraduates before I hooked up with another band called Little Rick and the Blue Tones.
When I finished my masters, I came to Lawrence and was able to form my own band called the Mistreaters. Now I pretty much headline my own shows and have a group of musicians who back me up.
Q; Working on a Ph.D. and having just formed a new band, where and when did you find time to tour?
As I really don't know how I was doing it. We would travel all over the Midwest, places like Wichita; Columbia, Mo.; Manhattan, Omaha, Neb.; Springfield, Mo.; Des Moines, Iowa.
I wouldn't get home until 4 a.m.
and then have to be ready to teach an 8 a.m. psych class. It was nice though, being from the East Coast. It really gave me a chance to see the Midwest.
Q: As a psychology teacher, did you ever run into any of your students while playing gigs?
A: It happened every now and then. However, one night when I was doing a show at the Brown Bear, a student came up on stage, raised his glass and said, 'Dude, this is my teacher.' He then told me, 'Dude, I am so ready for that test Monday.' I just chuckled and said, 'Dude, the test was last Monday.'"

McDonald's planned to open in church's community center
HOUSTON — You want prayers with that Big Mac? Parishioners at Brentwood Baptist Church won't have to venture far for a burger, once a McDonald's opens for business in the church's new community center.
"When we have different meetings and functions at the church, a lot of times you don't get to stop and get something to eat," said Derrick Cyprian, chairman of the deacon board at Brentwood Baptist, which averages 7,000 parishioners every Sunday. "This will make it more convenient."
McDonald's spokesman Rick Nance said the new franchise was the first he knew of to be attached to a church.
Phoenix inmates could lose lunch in sheriff's new budget plans
PHOENIX — Maricopa County Sheriff Joe Arpaio said he might eliminate one jail meal a day to help cover a projected $5 million budget shortfall.
Arpaio, who banned coffee, cigarettes and "girlie" magazines in recent years, proposed Tuesday to eliminate the daily sack lunch in favor of a combined breakfast and lunch.
"We'll call it bologna brunch," said Arpaio, who bills himself as America's toughest sheriff. "We'll still charge inmates $1 a day for food."
Prison officials said inmates would get the same daily calories — about 2,900 — and nutrition required by the federal court since 1979.
"Peanuts on Parade" could return as tribute in cartoonist's hometown
ST. PAUL, Minn. — City officials say they are talking with the family of Charles Schulz and syndicator United Media about reprising last year's "Peanuts on Parade" tribute to the late cartoonist.
Last summer, dozens of molded fiberglass statues of Snoopy drew international attention to Schulz's former hometown. The display was designed to honor Schulz, who died Feb. 12, 2000, the day his final original "Peanuts" cartoon was being published in newspapers worldwide.
Mayor Norm Coleman said the city might like to feature a different Peanuts character if it went ahead with a second parade — possibly Charlie Brown.

Saving Silverman's humor lacks originality
By Rob Pazell
jayplay@kansan.com
Jayplay movie critic
It has happened to many of us. John Friend starts seeing more and more of Jane Girlfriend, and you and the rowdy old-school crew aren't seeing any more of old John.
The situation worsens when it's control freak Jane Girlfriend cracking the whip.
The all-too-common scenario is featured in an off-beat comical tale, Saving Silverman, from writing tandem Hank Nelken and Greg DePaul, who observed their chum's harnessing by his fiancée.
Darren Silverman (Jason Biggs)
and his best prizes Wayne (Steve
Zahn) and J.D. (Jack Black) grew up spending their nights showing themselves in beer and playing music in their band, Diamonds in the Rough, a tribute to the one and only Neil Diamond, who makes his first movie appearance in 20 years. Enter antagonist Judith Snodgrass-Fessbeggle, a sexy psychologist who becomes Darren's love interest. But as the weeks pass, Judith takes control of every aspect of Darren's life, eventually making him quit the band and drop Wayne and J.D. forever.
But Wayne and J.D. aren't ready to give up Darren without a fight, so they set off with a silly, slapstick plot to break up Darren and Judith. They first attempt off-beat, juvenile male pranks, but eventually graduate to a kidnapping. You can't help but feel for these hopeless guys, especially when Judith opens a big ol' can of Bruce Lee on them.
My favorite character, though, has to be the coach, played by R. Lee Ermey, who was immortalized for his role as Gunnery Sgt. Hartman in Full Metal Jacket.
When Wayne and J.D. can't find a solution to their troubles, they visit their former high school football coach in jail. Ermey successfully keeps his drill sergeant personality, but manages to be crazy and humorous at the same time.
Saving Silverman will make you laugh, but the humor doesn't really go above and beyond the PG-13
realm, sticking to old-school, slapstick jokes and exaggerating the old ball-and-chain plot.
Dudes, be warned. Don't send the wrong message to your lady if you decide to make it date.

PERSONALITY PROFILE
Dressing U By Yasmin Tabi
These young fashion designers are making their mark.
Shelli Oh's line of clothing reflects her personality-a fusion of spirituality and fashion. Oh, 27, is a Canadian clothing designer with a background in fashion design and production management. Her clothing line, Harebell, was born on Dec. 24, 1997, in Toronto. Her fashion concept stems from her love for faery lore and ancient mysticism, and her "passion for the connection between the natural world and the magical realm."
Unlike many designers, Oh didn't get a big break in the industry. She began as a pattern drafter, then turned to sample sewing, technical design, production assistant, marker maker and grader. Now that she's creating her own designs, she puts in 12- to 18-hour days, shifts broken by her other interests such as yoga, writing and climbing.
Oh runs her business the same way she clothes一reminiscent of her spirituality-but it's a business.Her retail clients receive a gift the theme of the season, a marketing maneu part of the "faery gift campaign."
She uses pastel and earth tones that blend together in her pieces, which range from sleeveless tie tops to long skirts. "I like to emphasize texture and delicate details or trimmings to create a balance between sheer rawness and delicacy to evoke an ethereal quality." Oh said she strives to establish strong sense of femininity with the Harebell line.
Oh explains, "Inspirations come from traditional faery lore and memories of ancient times; that's where the feminine spirit and mysticism of the designs are born. I wish to give glimpses of this magic, and in turn share the energy and joy I experience through it." This ethereal take on clothing has made a favorable impression on the fashion world. Harebell has been received warmly at trade shows in New York as well as in boutiques across Canada and all over the world.
Oh's plans for Harebell are ambitious: she'd like to expand into Japan and Europe using the Internet as her international launching pad. "The Internet is like a passport around the world! It's made international exposure for our company as simple as pushing a button through our web site." (harebell.com)

Amy, Heather (25-year-old twins) and Teeter Sperber, 23, are the three sisters behind 31 Corn Lane, a tote bag line run out of their Brooklyn, New York, home.
The Sperbers were raised in Shrewsbury, NJ, where as youngsters they loved clothes and playing dress-up-hobbies that led to sewing and designing—and they devote everything they've got to bringing their fashion dreams to fruition. Teeter said she's online all day scouting shops
From Left, Heather, Teeter and Amy Sperber in their Brooklyn, New York apartment.
and updating the database of clients and tote bag stock, while Amy and Heather devote nights and weekend hours to running 31 Corn Lane, making extras, planning new designs, and hatching more ideas.
Their line of handbags is inspired by the sisters' desire to promote fun and functionality through quirky designs and quality effort. You can find them mainly at stores on the East Coast, such as Patch 155 in New York City, Hello Beautiful Hair Salon in Brooklyn, Newbury Comics in Boston and other record stores throughout New York.
There's more to these sisters than just designing tote bags. Heather and her boyfriend run a record label called "Ear to Ground Records," Teeter volunteers at a local youth center and Amy does graphic design for friends' bands, making both T-shirts and other promotional materials. According to Heather, 31 Corn Lane prefers the intimacy of face-to-face business, so the sisters spend a lot of time visiting stores, showing off their bags and taking orders for new merchandise.
Mike Dubin
Eventually the Sperbers want to expand their line by incorporating clothing and using the Internet (they're currently building a web site), but for now they've decided to focus on promoting their tote bags. Says Heather, "We wear our own product...and we make sure all our pals have totes to wear around. You'd be amazed what a buzz can be created by word of mouth!"
Education: Amy attended the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York, Teeter went to the University of Colorado at Boulder and Heather went to Colorado State University in Fort Collins.
Amy and Heather used to get their kicks: Dressing Teeter up like a doll.
Women who nag: The Sperbers play in a band called The Nagg with three other girls.
Designers they like: According to Heather, the sisters are all fans of the clothing line Built By Wendy (builtbywendy.com). All three also frequent thrift stores to find vintage treasures.
Pretty in Pink: 31 Corn Lane would kill to dress Molly Ringwald.
Advice for aspiring designers from Heather Sperber: "Don't ever take no for an answer and always stand behind what you're creating. Remember, your closest girl pals are your sassiest advertisement!"

The Kozmonauts Have Landed
By Jane Kim
Do you ever get insatiable urges in the middle of the night for a pint of Ben & Jerry's Chunky Monkey, but don't want to trek to the corner store? Or maybe your mom's birthday is this week but just don't have the time in your loaded schedule to make the trip to the mall? Well, Kozmo.com has you in mind—with their help you might not ever have to leave the comfort of your dorm room again.
Steamtunnels took a ride along with Kozmo,the unmistakably orange courier service that guarantees to deliver the goods in under an hour. Boston managerial team members Will Weddleton and Katherine Kwack took Steamtunnels behind the scenes and introduced us to the Kozmo revolution.
When Joseph Park and Yong Kang created Kozmo.com in 1997, they envisioned a courier service that would combine the convenience of web shopping with the speed of delivery. With 11 locations nationwide—in Atlanta,Boston,Chicago,Houston,Los Angeles,Portland San Diego, San Francisco, Seattle, Washington,D.C. and New York-
So, what's Kozmo.com all about?
this Internet-to-door company is still growing. Kozmo delivers everything from food to health and beauty products. They've recently added a gift service that allows shoppers to ship specialty items like Palm Pilots and Dirty Girl cosmetics, as well as creative Kozmo kits designed for every occasion.
What do you have to do to get the goods?
uma com
If you live in one of the cities served by Kozmo.com, just go to the web site, Kozmo.com, punch in your zip code to find the closest branch, browse the list of items and send your order. Within an hour you'll be greeted by an orange-helmeted Kozmonaut—that's Kozmospeak for messenger package in hand.
Virtual security. Guaranteed.
According to Boston general manager Will Weddleton, the Kozmonaut never sees what's inside the package during delivery, so your purchase is strictly confidential until you open it.

Virtual Makeovers
By Molly Delano
Have you ever wondered how you'd look with Calista Flockhart's wispy hair? Or what bright blue eyes would do for your dark complexion? The answers to these burning beauty questions and more are right on your desktop.
Thanks to new digital imaging technology, the online beauty business is booming with the addition of interactive features like virtual makeovers.
It's as easy as uploading a photo of yourself, and then blocking out a few hours to try out everything from the ridiculous to the realistic.
Makeoverstudio.com is without a question the best site out there. The "My Studio" section offers great graphics and easy-tofollow instructions for testing out hundreds of hairstyles and colors and makeup combinations.
There's no question that some of the hairstyles they offer are horrible but that's half the fun.
You can upload a digital photo of yourself in seconds or choose from one of many models they provide.
There's no question that some of the hairstyles they offer are horrible—but that's half the fun. I guarantee you'll test out a bleach blond crew cut before your makeover session is through.
Try a daring new lookwithout having to live with it forever.
Makeoverstudio.com also has a "Makeover of the Month" section in which they choose a willing victim and give her several different hair and makeup looks. Each look has a "how-to" pop-up window that includes instructions for the cut, styling tips, and hints about whether or not the look is right for your hair and face type. You have to register to use the makeover features, but the process is free and relatively painless.
Emakeover.com is another virtual makeover site, but it pales in comparison to makeoverstudio.com. Grainy graphics and a touchy uploading process make it difficult to get a real sense of what you'd look like in these hair and makeup options. But once you get past the glitches, prepare for some serious fun—in addition to hair and makeup, emakeover.com also has sunglasses and goofy hats that you'd never wear in a million years. But that won't stop you from checking them out!
Probably the most useful function of these sites is seeing how you'd look with a drastically different hair length—I've always thought about cutting my medium-long hair, but after seeing these cheeks in a bob, I know it'll never happen.
You can test out tons of radical hair colors at clairol.com, and at makeover.women.com, though the image quality is poor there are dozens of hair-dos to choose from, ranging from short to long to glamorous (try out that Rapunzel look with their step-by-step "how-to's").
Hair isn't the only thing you can test out online; there are plenty of sites that allow you to try bold makeup shades without actually buying anything. Head to ivillage.com/beauty and give their "makeover-o-matic" a whirl. Choose a model and then experiment with foundation, eye shadow and liner, cheek color and lipstick. When you're done, save your look in a "Look Book" that you can refer to before you head to an actual store.
If these sites don't quench your makeover madness,
Cosmopolitan sells Virtual Makeover software (familycentral/home/cosmo2) that you can install on your computer. You'll be able to experiment for days with makeup, hair style and color, and even accessories. Try out Essence's Virtual Makeover software for women of color (littleafrica.com/essence).
"Don't hate me because I'm beautiful."
You know you want me.
Audrey made has to do this.
"Now chicks will really dig me."
What am I going to kill if I kill it?
Does this make my head look fat?
The Steamtunnels staff (pre-makeover at far left) tries Emakeover.com for some brave new looks...with questionable results. From top to bottom: Production Coordinator Tom Webb should stick with the surf bum look; Office Manager Jesse Lee is still after that perfect weekend 'do; Marketing Director Matt McRoberts has a smile on his face...and something on his head; Creative Director Audrey Borowski goes through more changes than Madonna.

SKIP THE MALL
By January Gill
Don't be a style dropout! Here's how to find the hottest fashion at great stores—without breaking your budget.
A new semester means it's time to refresh your wardrobe.
Style.
Some people have it in great abundance. Some spend their lives searching for
it. Others pay through the nose for it. Every semester students face the same dilemma: how to find the hottest fashions without failing Economics 101. Here are a few ways to keep your wardrobe phat without having to spend a fortune.
Go online.
Does trying on clothes in a 3-foot-square dressing room under harsh fluorescent lights make you never want to shop again? Try shopping at the online version of your favorite retailer. Often, sites like The Gap [gap.com] and Banana Republic (www.banana republic.com) carry the same store item, as well as terrific sale items, discounted up to 20%-40% over the in-store price.
Look for bargains in unexpected places.
Shop in the young men's or juniors' sections of major
department stores. Many large stores like Macy's (macys.com), Nordstrom (http://store.nordstrom.com) and Bloomingdale's (bloomingdales.com) sell
runway "knock-offs" that look just as good as famous-maker brands. Also, comb the discount racks at the very back of the men's and women's departments for clothes marked for reduction. Purchase clothes off their sites, which have sale and clearance sections and are a great place to find bargains.
Try visiting other neighborhood offprice retailers in your area.
A store in the next town may carry different merchandise. Ask the store manager what the best days of the week are to catch new items so you can have first pick on all the latest arrivals. Shop early in the morning or late at night because stores will be less crowded and quieter.
Learn to accessorize.
Sometimes you just need to add a bit of flair or funk to your wardrobe. The quality of clothing and accessories has improved in discount stores over the past 10 years Check out your local Target （target.com). Kmart (blue light.com) and Wal-Mart (walmart.com) for everything from sunglasses to shoes. Speaking of shoes, the Birkenstock Express (birkenstock
Speaking of shoes, the Birkenstock Express (birkenstock express.com) sells bargain and
discontinued shoes so low they're practically giving them away. The company can also add you to a mailing list for announcements of upcoming specials.
Sure, you can buy hip clothes for less. It just takes a little effort Visit steamtunnels.net for
more great shopping tips, as well as links to your favorite online retailers.

Great for purchasing Birkenstocks. Has featured sales and clearance that you search by size. Also gives advice on how to care for the shoes and what size is best.
Nordstrom
(http://store.nordstrom.com)
Nice selection of items. Can return via mail, exchange at any store, or return only if purchased with a Nordstrom's card.
Macy's (macys.com)
Easy to navigate, and Macy's has a huge selection. The sale section only features exclusive sales, not marked-down items.
Bloomingdale's (bloomingdales.com) Nicely organized with an incredible clearance section. Potential to make some really good buys.
Target (target.com)
Excellent store for buying inexpensive, quality, stylish items. Has a great clearance section.
Kmart (bluelight.com)
The Gap (gap.com)
Very similar to Target, except Kmart has its famous BlueLight specials.
Excellent site. Can purchase everything you would at the store, return by sending a back or by bringing it to any Gap store. If you can't find your size at a store, order online. Good sale section and size chart.

What goes on behind the scenes in game development is as interesting as the games themselves. By Karen Aerle
Behind the develop ment of every game is a story. The stress of the industry sandwiched between devoted fans and money focused publishers forced to guess what the next popular trend will be is not for the faint of heart.
id Software founder John Carmack (seated) with 1997 world champion Quake player Dennis Thresh' Fong.
It's no wonder
these developers and the companies seem larger than life. Take John Romero of Ion Storm, who loves media attention even though his recent games have failed to deliver. Or the fancy car loving John Carmack of Quake fame (id Software). Or
enced at brilliant strategy maker Mindscape, after Mattel bought them and then was forced to sell off all its gaming due to ineffectual management.
Developers realize they need the press to reach their audience, which is both hypercritical of new releases and staunchly loyal and devoted to their favorite games.
the heartbreak felt at Looking Glass Studios, where award winning products like Thief 1 & 2 failed to save them from financial ruin. Or the frustration expert
Most developers have a love affair with the media. They realize they need the press to reach their audience, which is both hyper
critical of new releases and staunchly loyal and devoted to its favorite games. Few developers are press shy: Blizzard Entertainment, makers of Diablo II, is the only one to come to mind.
The rapid expansion of the gaming industry has generated a wealth of stories about intrigues, mismanagement, betrayals, tragedies and heroics If you've ever wanted to know how your favorite game was really made explore sites like Gamespot's Behind the Games series by Geoffrey Keighley. Gamespy's (gamespy.com) and RPGVault's Developers Diaries (rpgvault.ign.com).

Plug 'n' Play: These clothes are hot-wired for fun.
Wear Your Computer
By Wendy Marinaccio
Life of the Party
Get a great party outfit at ClubThings. You'll light up the darkness in a shirt with animated lights—choose from an attention-grabbing UFO, heart, star, alien, butterfly or other designs. These "e-shirts" come in black, sizes small to XXL and even in baby Ts, for $32.95.And don't forget that all those flashing lights need four AAA batteries. (clubthings.com)
Made for Walking

megawatts of power. When your heel hits the ground it produces a current, which is saved in the shoe. You can use the stored electricity to power cell phones or other portable gadgets. You can't buy these boots at Macy's, but they're on their way to being commercially available—they were tested over the summer with a 120-kilometer hike through the desert in Namibia. （theelectricshoeco.com）
Don't Rent a Movie
Get a jacket with a wearable computer on it—that everyone can see except you. A leather jacket created by MIT grad Stephan
Fitch plays streaming video and comes complete with a Windows computer, LCD screen and wireless Net connection. A 233 MHz Pentium III processor and 1GB hard drive are also included. The jacket was commissioned by MSN to play ads for its service, and was also used in New York City to show Gladiator trailers when the movie debuted.
Gadgets Galore
If you're a sucker for gadgets you're going to want to buy the modern interpretation of the classic Levi's jacket. This one has a built-in cell phone, portable MP3 player and universal remote control to work them all. The MP3 player will turn off when a call
comes in, and you just have to speak into your collar when you talk on the voice activated cell phone. Better yet the buttons are volume controls.Made by Levi Strauss and Italian designer Massimo Osti and equipped with Philips Electronics gadgets,the digital jacket is only available in Europe right now-but

who may have similar fashion taste and interests. The price for finding like-minded fashion mavens on the web? Jeans run about $100, and their line of shirts, bags shoes and accessories will set you back anywhere from $49 to $150.
Not the Gap
Clothing company ZoZa was founded by the creators of Banana Republic (now millionaires after selling it to the Gap). Its line of "urban performance clothing" is sold online and in "walk-in web sites," which include one set of ZoZa's offerings that you can try on, but then order from an in-store computer. ZoZa clothes are made out of breathable fabrics and Velcro, with compartments for cell phones and PDAs sewn in. Basically it's designer clothing except functional—and you can put it in the washing machine. (ZoZa.com)
CyberTailors Custom-made clothes at IC3D.com
By David Mars
Everyone knows that trauma of shopping for jeans. After hours under fluorescent lighting, you look down at a mountain of rejects and realize you're never going to be able to find the perfect pair of jeans,the ones that fit you just right, with the pockets you like and the exact shade of denim you want.
Enter IC3D.com
IC3D.com's unique web site lets you build your own pair of jeans—or skirt, handbag, T-shirt and other articles of clothing. Through a complex but surprisingly easy to follow system of menu choices that let you pick everything down to the color of thread
and the type of rivets you want, you can design that perfect pair of jeans-all for about $65.
Peter Del Rio and a former partner with a background in fashion founded the web site in New York City in 1996. The pair wanted to create a niche market for consumers, said Del Rio. "We believe the real B to C is business dealing one on one with the consumer allowing them to create their own unique product."
Behind the Scenes with IC3D.com STS: What do you think the future of clothes shopping is going to be? Del Rio: Shopping is going to come closer
to entertainment. You will be able to configure clothes online similar to the way Dell does with computers.
STS: What's your most popular service?
Del Rio: Jeans is our most popular service We have over 300 different fabrics to choose from. The CopyCat (that allows consumers to send in an old pair of jeans and have them copied)service is slightly under 50 percent of first orders.
STS: Where are your clothes made?
Del Rio: All of our clothes are made by union workers in New York.

Most musicology journals write 10,000-word treatises on Wagner's use of harmonic triads and the like. But ECHO is a journal that's not just for eggheads and longhairs. A recent issue has an excellent Napster roundtable, a review of the Experience Music Project (Paul Allen's Seattle tribute to Jimi Hendrix) and an article on "old technologies in new recordings" that explores the music of Portishead and Pink Floyd. But the articles are only part of the fun. Most journals print the actual score to illustrate musical points; ECHO actually plays back the music-with a video clip of the performance, when available.

A police officer knocks on your door and tells you that you are suspected of committing a crime. He wants to ask you questions. What do you do?
This happened this school year to Kevin Hoskinson, a Garden City junior accused of kissing and fondling a girl who was sleeping in Hashington his sixth floor lobby in August.
He opted to answer the questions, according to court testimony, which meant he had to sign a statement that said he understood his rights, was willing to answer questions and write a statement without a lawyer present and had not been coerced or threatened into talking.
Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Pattrick said police could never promise that a person wouldn't be charged in a crime if he talked with police or that he would receive a lesser sentence. He said police would lose that confession if it were later questioned in court. But to some students, the rights aren't clear.
Police have to read the Miranda rights whenever the person they are talking with might not think he is free to leave, Pattrick said.
But sometimes students don't understand the process and wonder if they are under arrest, said
Sgt. Troy Malen of the KU Public Safety Office.
"It can be very alarming to have rights read to you if
you want your baby dead or not before." Mallory said.
you've never had them read to you before," Mallen said. Gina Matteoni, Olathe senior, said police began questioning her and her friends without reading them right last semester while they were walking on Massachusetts Street. Matteoni was cited for criminal damage to property after she pulled a branch from a potted tree and used it as a microphone.
"He just pulled over and called us over and kept asking what we were doing and why we were tearing off the branch of a tree," Matteoni said. "They didn't read us our rights. I don't know if they had to. We didn't know we were free to leave. We didn't even know what was going through his head. We didn't know what we could be charged with. We didn't know what was going on."
One of the Miranda rights allows a person to decide to stop answering questions at any time. The way the police respond when the person says he doesn't want to answer any more questions depends on the way the person says it. Pattrick and Malen said.
"If they say they don't want to talk to me anymore until they get an attorney, it is different than them saying they don't want to answer questions," Patrick said.

Late-night games a unique pastime
By Sarah Smarsh
One local business offers more than commerce to its patrons. It offers companionship, too.
Every Friday night after the neon "open" sign goes dark, a faithful group of customers pours into HobbyTown USA, 2108 W. 27th St. The store sells a wide variety of hobby materials, including model trains, Star Wars figures, Magic the Gathering trading cards and intricate games like Mordheim. But members of the late-night Friday crowd don't to buy games — they go to play them.
"It keeps the imagination going, finding new ways to do things." Richard Duran, a Lawrence resident, said about Warhammer, the most popular game among the Friday revelers. Duran
But Donovan — a Space Marine army man — said the ritual was about more than displaying his prized creatures or annihilating his opponents. He said he found as much satisfaction in finding like-minded people at the back of the store.
Josh Donovan, Wichita senior, explained the allure of gaming as he pulled intricately painted, pewter characters from his plastic tool box.
"It's just fantasy." Donovan said. "Some people play video games. It's a way to escape."
"It's just fantasy. Some people play video games. It's just a way to escape."
Josh Donovar
said he'd been playing the game, a was scenario with a loose storyline, at the store for about a year.
Warhammer players compete with specific armies — composed of dwarves or elves, demons or the undead. The playing board, a detailed landscape of trees and battle sites, spreads across an entire table. A thick book details the complex set of rules on moves, assaults and challenges like the "Meat Grinder Mission."
"Your army is kind of an extension of your personality," said Ryan Lance, Shawne junior. "I'm really stubborn, so I like Necron. I also have a malicious streak, so I like Dark Eldar." Lance described Necron armies as relentless "robotic killing machines."
"It's a way for us to gather around," Donovan said. "I've met more people here in the last year and a half that I have in the last five years."
Josh Cox, University of Kansas graduate, said he had been part of the after-hours scene
at HobbyTown USA for more than five years. He moved to Overland Park after graduation, but continues to make the drive to Lawrence for the Friday night gathering.
Donovan knows all about the financial costs of being hooked on gaming. He said that in two years he had spent about $400 collecting and painting figures and supplies for Warhammer.
Cox said a passion for gaming could easily spiral into a borderline obsession. "It's very easy to just get roped in and have to have the latest toy," he said.
"The reason I come up here is just to hang out with my friends," Cox said.

Students can contribute ideas for rec center
By Brooke Hesler
Kansan staff writer
Members of the Recreation Center Program Committee want student input about plans for the new recreation center, which will be located south of Watkins Health Center.
Mary Chappell, director of recreation services, said students would be welcome at the committee's meeting at 3 p.m. Monday at the Front Room in the Burge Union.
She said the committee had already received feedback from students about what they would like to see included in the new center, which is set to open in Fall 2002.
"We try to keep students aware of what's going on." Chappell said.
"Students have had a lot of input on this project," she said. "We've ever had suggestions for an ice skating rink."
Although an ice skating rink is not in the plans right now, the rec center will include: a track
two outdoor basketball and volleyball courts
an aerobics/martial arts area
a gymnasium
spaces for sports clubs
Chappell said she envisioned a food area similar to the Hawk Stop in Joseph R. Pearson Hall.

out plan for the building. Chappell said the group would start on the schematic design stage in June or July. That process will include choosing colors, coming up with program policies and dealing with accessibility issues.
She said she thought construction would begin in late summer or early fall of this year.
Not everyone is so excited about the center. Last fall the building fee took effect. This school year, students paid $15. Next year the fee increases to $49. Marlon Marshall, student body vice president and member of the committee, said he estimated the fee would be around for 20 years.
Matt Jones, Overland Park senior, will graduate before the center opens. He said he thought it was unjust having to pay the fee.
"It doesn't seem very fair that we have to pay for it if we're not going to use it," Jones said.
Marshall said he understood the concerns.
"That's why we've tried to stagger the fee instead of having it all at once," Marshall said. "I'm a senior, and I probably won't be around to use it myself, but it's something that benefits the University."

Tooty-Toot welcomed back to life
Kansan staff writer
By Brandon Stinnett
The campus whistle made its return Wednesday afternoon after more than two months on hiatus. The whistle, which had been dormant for much of the winter because of cold weather, sounded for the first time at 3:20 p.m.
Doug Riat, director of facilities operations, said the decision was made late last semester to shut down the whistle because it wasasted steam that was needed to heat University buildings.
Although temperatures have been higher lately, work was being done on boilers inside the University power plant that prevented the whistle from being used sooner.
The whistle, which signals the end of classes every hour during the week, has been a University tradition since its inception in 1912. But this was not the first time it has been shut down.
During September 1999, the whistle, referred to as Tooty-Toot, was shut down for two weeks while repairs were made and parts were upgraded.
In 1977, the University silenced the whistle on an experimental basis because of complaints that it affected people's nerves. The whistle blew again ten weeks later after students voted for its return.
Not everyone is ready to welcome the whistle back to life. In fact,some people just don't care.
Chuck Richards, a Sand Springs, Okla., graduate student who teaches introductory philosophy classes, uses his watch to keep track of time during class and doesn't rely on the whistle. He said the whistle often startled him when he was walking to classes.
"It makes me flinch," Richards said.
While Richards wouldn't mind if the whistle was silenced forever, he understands its purpose.
"I suppose there does have to be some way to signal the proper time to start and stop classes." he said.
Eric Johnson, Overland Park junior, said the whistle made him feel like he was working in a factory.
However, some students do see the whistle's merit.
Andrea Hammill, Milwaukee sophomore, views the whistle as part of the University's culture.
"It's cool," Hammill said. "How many other universities have a big whistle that goes off when classes are going to start?"
For Allison Werth, Lawrence freshman, life without the whistle was quite unnerving.
"The whistle is kind of handy," she said. "It's just been kind of different. Something seemed not quite right."

Free newspapers done, may return in the future
Today is the last day of the Student Senate sponsored newspaper leadership pilot program. That means students will no longer be able to pick up free newspapers at the Kansas Union and Wescoe and Oliver halls.
Next week, surveys will be passed out near the locations where the papers used to be, said Ben Walker, student body president. He said the surveys will help determine if the program was a success.
Depending on the results of the survey, Walker will consider drafting legislation that could raise student fees in order to have the free papers distributed during fall and spring semesters.

Walker said he had received positive feedback about the project.
KU faculty receives grant to study nation's pollution
University of Kansas faculty members will try to determine what effect government intervention has on the behaviors of the nation's worst chemical facility polluters.
With the help of a $341,000 grant from the Environmental Protection Agency, Dietrich Earnhart, assistant professor of economics and environmental studies, and three of her KU
colleagues will study the relationship between the government and polluters.
Earnhart said the three-year study would analyze the polluters' compliance level of EPA emission standards, the effects of government intervention and the motivations of polluters to be better stewards of the environment.
While the EPA already has done a good job of tracking the compliance level of the major polluters, Earnhart said, it has done little analysis of why the polluters — major or minor — are in or out of compliance with its standards.
To determine the level of compliance, Earnhart and her colleagues will survey 512 of America's major polluters, as defined by the EPA, and half of nearly 2,000 minor polluters.
Tatsuji Ebihara, assistant professor of civil and environmental engineering; Donald Haider-Markel, director of the Survey Research Center at the KU Policy Research Institute; and Robert Glickman, distinguished law professor, also will work on the project.

KU alumnus Leuman D. Harris and his wife, Judith L. Harris, have established a $50,000 endowed scholarship specifically for those students.
John Scarfe, communications director at the University of Kansas Endowment Association, said this was the first scholarship to directly acknowledge biodiversity as a science. The endowed fund will be used to grant one scholarship per year beginning next fall, said Scarfe.
The amount of the scholarship was not known.
The Leaman D. Harris Biodiversity Scholarship also memorializes his parents, Albert Ion Harris and Carmen Angeline Waters Harris, whom he attributes with developing his curiosity of the natural world.

Advocacy groups believe Bush has closed offices
NATION White House shooting raises security concerns
WASHINGTON — The White House backed away Wednesday from a remark by a top White House official taken to mean that Bush was abolishing the Office of National AIDS Policy and the Office of the President's Initiative for One America.
"They're not being closed," said Margaret LaMontagne. Bush's domestic policy chief. As for policies regarding race or AIDS, LaMontagne said they would be treated the same and have the same access to the president. Advocacy groups had a different take: dispersing the offices' duties within the White House actually is tantamount to a closure.
Bush seeks approval for $1.6 trillion plan
WASHINGTON — President Bush is sending his $1.6 trillion, 10-year taxcutting proposal to Congress, where a fight is brewing over its scope. The president is adamant that the plan is "the right size," warning Democrats and Republicans alike not to make substantial changes. In a Rose Garden ceremony yesterday, Bush formally transmitted the outlines of the plan to Capitol Hill. The plan closely mirrors the cuts that Bush made the centerpiece of his presidential campaign, including reducing income-tax rates, easing the marriage penalty, phasing out the estate tax and boosting tax breaks for charitable contributions.
Officer testimony says Combs didn't throw gun
NEW YORK — A police officer testified yesterday that he never saw rap entrepreneur Sean "Puffy" Combs or anyone in his entourage throw a gun from their vehicle as they fled a nightclub shooting.
Prosecutors have said someone in the vehicle threw a gun out the window, and another gun was found inside the vehicle.
Combs and his bodyguard, Anthony "Wolf" Jones, have pleaded not guilty to weapons possession and bribery charges for allegedly asking their driver to claim one of the guns.
Sgt. Jack Konstantinidis said he had followed the vehicle for 11 blocks after it sped from a Times Square nightclub on Dec. 27, 1999, and finally forced it to stop, did not see anyone throw a gun out a window.
The gun prosecutors say it was thrown from the vehicle and was found along the vehicle's route from the nightclub.
Company funds educations
Khalid Al-Sadoon worked to excel in his studies at the schools in Saudi Arabia. Through hard work, Al-Sadoon succeeded in his goal of leaving his homeland for college — and he doesn't pay a dime.
By Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff write
Through a program offered by Aramco Services Company, a Saudi Arabia-based oil company, he was given the opportunity to get a free education at the University of Kansas. Aramco provides male high school graduates in Saudi Arabia a chance to study in the United States. There are about 12 students attending the University on Aramco's dime.
The full ride does come with strings attached. The oil company approves students' majors and class schedules and after graduation, the students will return to work in Saudi Arabia for the same number of years they attended school abroad.
"If you like the culture and the people, you are set for life there," said Al-Sadoon, a Jubail, Saudi Arabia, sophomore. "It is a great job opportunity that pays a lot of money."
Al-Sadone said he had mixed feelings about his future in Saudi Arabia. He will take a position in an Aramco office, most likely in the middle of the desert. The pay will be good, and his house will be paid for, but he said he has grown to love the United States and the University.
"I am just trying to enjoy my time while I am here." he said.
Recent Saudi Arabian high school graduates apply for the program by completing various tests. First, the students must pass a timed, general math test. Then, if they've passed that test, they'll face a battery of exams, including chemistry, physics, English, Arabic and more math. Each year 100 to 150 students make the cut and attend universities throughout the world.
Mark Algren, a language specialist at the Applied English Center, works with the students during
their orientation to the University. The University is one of three national orientation sites for the program. After orientation, students can choose to stay in Kansas or transfer to another university.
"These are the cream of the crop," Algren said. "These would be National Merit Scholars in this country. They have made an investment in their futures and are highly motivated to learn while they are here."
With acceptance into the program, the students lose autonomy over their major and choice of classes. They submit their top three choices for majors to the company, which will match the students' requests with its own needs. Students must enroll in 15 hours of pre-approved classes and take nine hours of class during the summer.
reed ALBibisi, Jeddah, Saudi Arabi, freshman,
said if he had been stuck with a major he didn't
like, he would have turned down the offer.
"I chose computer engineering, and they gave me computer science," Al-Bilbisi said. "They are close and it is not a big difference."
The students do receive perks as a future Aramco employee. They receive a $1,500 monthly salary with a bonus for good grades. They also receive insurance and additional funds for items such as computers. The company also picks up the tab for airfare for an annual trip to Saudi Arabia.
"It is a good opportunity," said Ibrahem Hakami, Jizan, Saudi Arabia, sophomore. "It pays my tuition and a monthly salary. It guarantees me a job."
With the international experience, the men study in a totally different educational climate. The segregated schools of their past are replaced by a coed, public University, which can take a little getting use to, Al-Sadoon said.
"It's a lot different when a hot blonde is sitting next to you in class," Al-Sadoon said. "Guys are not use to compete with women in school. They are not sexist; it's just different. It is something we have to get use to."

Dance to benefit AIDS prevention education
By Livi Regenbaum writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Organizers hope this year's Valentine's Day dance for the Douglas County AIDS Project will educate and raise money for AIDS in the community.
Dan Wise, case manager for the project, said the dance was an important fund-raiser and event for the community. The dance will be at 7 p.m. tomorrow at Liberty Hall.
"The AIDS benefit dance is our largest fund-raiser," he said. "We see a wide variety of community members that come together at this dance to support CAP."
The AIDS project is a community-based organization dedicated to providing support for people with HIV, as well as promoting AIDS education throughout the community.
The project has had several programs this year, attempting to reach out to the community. Wise said.
"Our goal is to reduce the risk of HIV," he said. "We have created a collaborative committee drop-in center, which provides prevention client-care services to anyone who might need them."
Kelly Hunt, a well-known Lawrence blues artist, will perform at the dance.
Stan Handshy, Erie junior and Queers and Allies senator, said the dance was an important benefit for the community.
"I try to attend any benefit to fund AIDS research," he said.
"People are getting a little lax on the subject of AIDS, and this is a way to bring the issue up."
The dance will include a silent auction with various items donated by community members and businesses. Items will be out for display, and there will be prizes for the highest bids.
Sidney Hardgrave, executive director of the project, said the AIDS benefit dance was a dance for everyone in the Lawrence community to enjoy.

Campaign to make protest productive
Fred Phelps rally turned into pledge drive for AIDS Project
By Livi Regenbaum writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Maggie Allen wants to turn protests by Fred Phelps and members of the Westboro Baptist Church into something positive.
Allen, organizer of "God Loves Fred - Count the Protesters Pledge Drive," which benefits the Douglas County AIDS Project, hopes to counter Phelp's protest at Saturday's Douglas County AIDS Project Valentine's dance with pledges and funding for the project.
"This pledge drive is meant to raise money for DCAP and to turn this negative protest into something positive," she said. "I thought it was very dangerous to cloud the issues of AIDS with hatred."
The pledge drive is set up by participants pledging any amount of money for every protester in attendance. If a participant pledges $1 and 20 protesters attend, the project would receive a donation of $20, said Allen.
Auten said she hoped this pledge drive would discourage hate groups from protesting.
"This pledge drive is a benefit for the DCAP," she said. "We hope with this pledge drive we can turn hate into an act of love."
Tracy Rutler, Kansas City senior and "God Loves Fred" volunteer, said she hoped the pledge drive would have a positive effect on the community.
"I want Fred Phelps to know the more he protests, the more money is going to a good cause that he hates the most," she said.
Sidney Hardgrave, executive director of the project, said the project was not involved with the pledge drive but was accepting donations.
Pledges can be made at Liberty Hall, 642 Massachusetts St. and at Murphy and Smith Halls.
Rutter said she hoped more Phelps counterprotests would follow.
"This pledge drive is a test run for what we hope will be more pledge drives in the future to counter Fred Phelps' protests," she said.

Local musician challenges blues' stereotypes
Groundbreaking artist to perform at benefit

Kansan staff writer

Picture a blues musician. Here's one example: a 44-year-old White woman from Kansas.
White woman from Rumba
Not what you had in mind?
Not what you had in Kelley Hunt does tend to surprise people. Hunt, a Lawrence singer-songwriter-pianist, has garnered national acclaim with her unique blend of blues, soul, gospel, rhythm & blues, roots and boogie-woogie. She has built a career doing things her own way, however unorthodox that way may be. Hunt will perform her brand of the blues at the Valentine's Dance for the Douglas County AIDS Project at 7 p.m. tomorrow at Liberty Hall.
Blues is a music field grounded in covers and reinterpretations of existing songs, but Hunt relies exclusively on her own material. You won't hear her playing blues standards like "Born Under a Bad Sign" or "Stormy Monday." Instead, Hunt will give you her own "Talk to Me," or "Stronger Wings."
"I think it gets you more respect. Hunt said. "It allowed me to have a different repertoire when I go out to play for national audiences."
Those audiences have apparently come to appreciate Hunt's original take on the blues. Hunt has released two CDs of original songs, Kelley Hunt and the live album Inspiration. She has built a reputation as a crowd favorite and leader among national artists at blues festivals around the country. Hunt also owns her own record company, 88 Records, with agent and manager Al Berman of Out Loud Talent in Lawrence.
more conventional musicians.
Berman said Hunt's independent approach to the blues was most impressive because she dared to be original in the face of judgment from
"She's muscled her way onto these big festival gigs basically on the strength of her own material and on the merit of her live recordings," Berman said.
Hunt said everyday life was her source for that material, which combined traditional influences with words and delivery that are uniquely hers.
"I really pay attention to what's going on in the world — other people's experiences," Hunt said. She added that she offered a feminine perspective in a male-dominated musical genre.
"Being a woman, I tend to clue into a woman's experience." Hunt said.
Being a woman has also posed challenges in the work field to Hunt, already a minority in the world of blues as a White Midwesterner. Hunt said she overcame those challenges by having complete faith in herself and her music.
"If my being a woman is an issue for you, you have no business working with me," she said. "But if they like the music, they get over all that stuff."
Her colleagues definitely like the music. Hunt's guitarist is Miles Joseph, a Los Angeles studio veteran who served as Aretha Franklin's tour guitarist for seven years; bassist Reggie McBride is a studio and tour veteran with Stevie Wonder, B.B.K. King, Elton John and Etta James; producer Mike Finnigan is considered a legend on Hammond B3 organs.
Hunt, who minored in voice for more than two years at the University of Kansas, began in more humble company. At the University, she could be heard playing with Kelley Hunt and the Kinetics.
heard in the hit movie Dance With Me, starring Vanessa Williams and Kris Kristofferson.
Now Hunt's resume is extensive and varied. She has played four times on National Public Radio's A Prairie Home Companion and has appeared on the PBS-TV music series Backstage Pass. Hunt received even more exposure in 1998 when her song "If I Don't Dance" from her debut album was
But Hunt's is hardly an overnight success story. She has spent decades making a name for herself. She doesn't plan on going anywhere soon. A new studio project is being planned and could be released as early as this summer.
"Kelley's career on a viable level has transcended dozens and dozens of hip, cool things in Lawrence that came and went," Berman said.
Hunt attributed her endurance to an honest connection with her music.
"I have a very strong will," she said. "I love what I do, and I believe in what I do."

Childish acts seal Clinton's place in history books
I suppose that at some point in my life I will desire a legacy. Whether it be as the most prolific writer of the 21st century or the best gosh-darn fry cook North Dakota has ever seen, I hope my legacy will appropriately and accurately illustrate the life I lead and the values to which I subscribe.
However, former President Bill Clinton recently embarked on a mission to cloud his indiscretions and veil his personal and professional failings in an attempt to falsely forge his place in history as one of the great men of the past century. Unfortunately, many people will, in fact, remember and laud him for the eight years of unprecedented prosperity and peace. Countless others will forget his reptilian attempts to slither around the truth, while covy coaxing the country
into a Clintonized brand of reality. These people will grant Clinton the legacy he so desires.
I hope most people will realize that Clinton is as responsible for the prosperity of the nation as Ringo Starr is for the success of the Beatles. After all, the man sitting in the Oval Office has a relatively small role relating to the mood of

an economy. To attribute economic ebb or flow to one man is to ignore thousands of other factors that influence a whimsical and capricious economy affected by the actions of millions of individuals.
Essentially the president's true power stems from the people he surrounds himself with and the character and confidence he portrays to the public. And during the latter stages of Clinton's term, his true temperament and disposition emerged as he attempted to rework his dented chapter in the history books.
Never a big fan of our nation's 42nd president, I found myself, during the past several months, shocked and appalled at his behavior. Realizing that he would soon leave the spotlight, Clinton maintained the composure and maturity of a fifth grader ousted from a lunchtime dodge ball game. Kicking the ball over the fence as the Republicans moved into position, Clinton issued 140 pardons, grabbed more than $200,000 in White House "gifts," and pulled a slew of pranks so subtly laced with intellectual humor that only a great mind such as Carrot Top could truly grant their penetrating wit.
in perhaps the worst display of sportsmanship since Bobby Knight, Clinton unleashed this vengeful tour de force with the forethought and planning of a crack-addicted test bunny.
Unfortunately, this last attempt to abuse presidential power will not survive as one of the great presidential moments. Even though his presence in the public eye is far from finished, his final actions as president offer posterity a list of titles anropos to his deserved legacy:
1. ) Clinton the Merciful — Issuing pardons to every major Democratic benefactor of the past eight years, he's able to add an extra wing to his presidential library.
2. ) Clinton the Cheap - Stuffing everything not nailed to the White House walls into his suitcase, he loots the residence as if it were a Holiday Inn in Little Rock.
3. ) Clinton the Hilarious — In the greatest comedic act since Gallagher's Smasharific Reunion tour of '93, the Clinton staff tickles the funny bone of America by removing all of the Ws on the keyboards in the West Wing. Absolute genius.
I may never become president. Actually, because of some bad judgment on my part and an injunction by the Fifth District Court of Delaware, it's actually a legal impossibility. But, if by some miracle, I were to find myself as president, I would hope that I could save my happy-happy fun time for the years that I was not the most powerful and visible man in the entire world. But then again, I'm not Bill Clinton. And fortunately, few presidents are.

Perspective
University, not students, should bear cost of safety
Student Senate passed a bill last week that reinstates the $2 safety fee into students' campus fees until at least 2004, when Senate will review it again.
OK, two bucks. No big deal, right? Students have been paying the fee for the last 10 years, so they should just willingly comply with this standard precedent. Yeah, just add the two dollars to the long list of unnecessary expenses students are required to pay every year. There should be no problem with that. Wrong
If the math for the renewed fee is correct, students will give the campus safety fund (formerly the lighting fee) $40,000 each year, said Kyle Browning, one of the bill's co-sponsors.
Safety is a necessity — no one can argue with that. But the University should pay for these necessities, not students. The University has offered to match at least 50 percent of what students contribute. Not a bad offering, but safety is not something we should be forced to bargain for. A
YOUNG
Now that we know exactly how much we will contribute, surely students will know what
university that routinely considers million dollar renovation projects should not pass on the price of safety to students.

their money is paying for.
Wrong again.
Vague ideas emerged in the discussion of the bill, including the possibility of enabling the blue phones to call any building on campus. This idea is unnecessary, considering the widespread use of cell phones among students. And would it really be safe to steer away from the actual purpose of the blue phones — emergency use only?
Students do have some valid ideas of what to do with the money. The aim of this bill is to complete $132,000 worth of campus lighting projects. The Campus Safety Board, consisting of students and administrators, decides how to spend the money. Some people assume that only the students on this committee would have a say if the money came only from students; that's false.
John Mullens, assistant public safety director, said that no matter how high tech a security system might be, people could still commit crimes. No matter how much we generate for the campus safety fee, the University could never guarantee our safety.
Challenging the University to provide for our safety is more logical and appropriate than just continuing to pay the fee without question.
Safety should be a top concern on campus. But feeling safe shouldn't tax students' pockets.

Editorial
'Moving wetlands is a bad idea
South Lawrence Trafficway proponents should find a new way to relieve traffic.
In an effort to resurrect the South Lawrence Trafficway as a viable option in its proposed location, the city is researching the possibility of expanding the Baker Wetlands in order to complete the eastern leg of the South Lawrence Trafficway. Although traffic remains a problem in Lawrence, re-creating wetlands is not the solution to this problem.
The growth of Lawrence has caused many difficulties, including congested traffic in certain areas. To combat the congestion, the city attempted to build the South Lawrence Trafficway, which was never completed because it would have destroyed the Baker Wetlands. Destroying these wetlands was a problem for both environmentalists and Native Americans. It appeared that the road would never be built with the existing plan.
Building new man-made wetlands will not appease Native-American groups, who are concerned about destroying an area they believe to be sacred. Moreover, it is difficult to believe that this would not be a disruption of habitat to animals.
it seems strangely unnatural to attempt to re-create a natural environment in order to build a road. Although nature is often sacrificed for development, developers should try hard to prevent harm to environments such as the Baker Wetlands.
It is time for the city to move on and seriously consider alternatives that would not disturb the wetlands. Moving the street either north or south could help clear the congestion on 23rd Street.
Although the first choice of location is through the wetlands, that is not a viable option. The Baker Wetlands present too many difficulties for the South Lawrence Trafficway to be completed under the current plan. Spending money to research other options would be a better use of money than creating new wetlands.
Sometimes it is best simply to give up and move on. It is time for the city to do so. Creating new wetlands would solve none of the project's problems.

For Darany Toy, the best thing about celebrating Tet, the Vietnamese New Year, is when the night will be over and she'll be able to relish the hard work the Vietnam Student Association put into the festivities.
Tet events planned
By Danny Phillips
writer@ianason.com
Kansas staff writer
The association is expecting at least 250 people to attend its Vietnamese New Year's celebration at 7 p.m. tomorrow in the Kansas Union Ballroom, said Toy, Wichita junior and the organization's public relations officer.
Tet, the most important holiday in Vietnamese culture, means the morning of the first day of the new year. According to the Vietnamese Zodiac, this is the Year of the Snake.
Association Vice President, Vinh Nguyen, Overland Park junior, said the festivities usually included a traditional dragon dance that was meant to scare away evil spirits and bring good luck, but he's not sure if the group will be able to get the dragon this year.
Even though Tet began Jan. 24, and continued until Jan. 31, Darany said the group's celebration is tomorrow because it's the best time for KU students to get together.
The highlight of the evening,
Nguyen said, will be a multi-media
TET CELEBRATION
The Vietnamese Student
The Vietnamese Student Association will sponsor its annual Ted celebration, including skits and a multimedia presentation, at 7 p.m. tomorrow at the Kansas Union Bulletroom.
At 9 p.m., the celebration will continue with a dance party, which will end at 11:30 p.m. There is no charge for admission.
presentation of the group members' activities from the past year.
Le said that because the Kansas Union does not allow open flames, the eight dancers will use glow sticks instead.
Dianne Le, Kansas City, Mo., junior and VSA external vice president, is organizing a "Light Dance" for the celebration, which is a modern interpretation of the traditional Vietnamese "Candle Dance."
At 9 p.m., the celebration will become a dance party, which will end at 11:30 p.m. Admission to the party is free.
Traditionally, the Vietnamese try to maintain a positive attitude on New Year's Day to ensure good luck for the rest of the year. Nguyen said.
"Be on your best behavior and don't get in trouble," he said.

Yesterday, School of Education students met with the second of three finalists to be considered for the dean position.
He said eight semesters was not enough to provide the education the students should have. He said with a five-year program, students received a good general education and gained knowledge in their specialized areas. Students would also be able to gain a better understanding about children, how to communicate with them and how schools operate.
Students had a chance to speak with Jerry Bailey, interim dean of education, at an open meeting.
Discussion focused on the issue of a five-year program and whether it was worth the time and cost. The school has offered a fifth year since the early 1980s.
"I'm very much an advocate for extended programs," Bailey said, defending the program.
Bailey said the most important aspect of five-year programs was student teaching.
"It gives opportunities to practice all the way through the program." he said.
Bailey also said the role of the dean was to make the five-year program a worthwhile, affordable experience. He said he wanted to see more scholarships
and financial aid based on merit and especially need.
"The school has the responsibility to make that as affordable as possible," he said.
Mona Ahmed, Lawrence senior, said she liked Bailey, but disagreed with him on the five-year program.
"He seems concerned," she said. "I disagree with the fifth year; I don't necessarily think it's an advantage to us."
Jill Simpson, Columbus senior, said the concern over a five-year program was growing, and that the fifth year often caused potential students to go elsewhere.
"There's so many people who choose not to come to KU because they're going to be in
school longer than if they went to Emporia or Pittsburg State or Johnson County or any of the area schools that have shorter programs," she said.
Emily Liggett, Prairie Village senior, said she had had prior contact with Bailey.
He's extremely personable. He's the most accessible staff member in this building and that includes advisers, that includes teachers, professors and TAs," she said.
The next meeting will be with Angela Lumpkin, professor of physical education at State University of West Georgia, at 2:45 p.m. Monday at 720 Joseph R. Pearson Hall.

When Wendy Brown wants a physical, needs a prescription or has the flu, she can still visit Watkins Memorial Health Center, even though she isn't a KU student anymore.
KU grads can use Watkins
Former students are eligible for health services up to one year after graduating from the University. But graduates must pay the $66 student health fee per semester in order to be eligible for services.
Brown graduated from the University of Kansas in December and still lives in Lawrence, but she said she had trouble finding insurance.
Watkins Memorial Health Center has the solution.
"I would use Watkins again because I just got this job which does not have health insurance at this time," Brown said. "I find Watkins convenient especially when I have a cold and don't want to pay a lot to see any doctor."
Joyce Carruth, supervisor at Watkins Business Office, said the health center provided useful services for KU graduates.
"A lot of them are still job hunting
and do not have health insurance," she said.
Carruth said Watkins also offered pharmacy services for graduates under the semester student fee.
Jennifer Bills, Topeka senior, said Watkins' services would be beneficial to her when she graduates.
"It is convenient," she said. "You don't have to schedule an appointment."
Students confused by Miranda rights
KU graduates who graduated this past May or December are eligible for services. To apply, go to the business office in Watkins or call 844-9520.
If the person requests an attorney, police won't ask any more questions until the person has an attorney present. Patrick said.
Continued from page 1A
If someone simply says that he does not want to answer any more questions, Malen said the questioning stopped, but the officer could ask him to answer questions at a later time.
Edited by Joshua Richards
Matteoni said she and her friends weren't aware of this.
"We didn't know we were free to walk off when he caught us," she said. "He said, 'Come back here.'"
When a Public Safety Office officer informs someone of his Miranda Rights, the officer usually reads the rights off the card he carries and has the person follow along on a sheet of paper. Mailen said.
In the case of Kevin Hoskinson, he testified in court that a Public Safety Office detective told him the police knew he was guilty.
"We go step by step and make sure they understand," Mailen said. "Then we ask if they're willing to waive their rights and answer questions."
Mallen said any good detective would not try to coerce someone into a confession because of the risk of losing the confession in court.
"We can say that your buddy has already given up when in actuality they have not," Pattrick said. "We are able to misrepresent the truth in those matters. We can say, 'A co-conspirator told us what you've done,' but it's risky when you do that."
He said police could lose their credibility in the interview if the person knew the police were bluffing.
But, Pattrick said, police are allowed to lie in questioning only when it doesn't interfere with a person's Miranda rights.

Game workshops draw diverse group
HobbyTown USA employee Bobby Young said the world of gaming lived under a cloud of misconception. He pointed out the differences between games like Warhammer and role-playing games.
"People get confused that it's Dungeons and Dragons, and it's not," Young said, referring to the role-playing game that has been accused of creating violent impulses in its young players by blurring the line between fantasy and reality.
He said he started playing Dungeons and Dragons when he was 15 but had since moved on to other games. Young said that while the world of games might see Pokemon or Magic the Gathering come and go, gaming as a pastime was here to stay because it appealed to a broader group than people imagined.
"It's not a fad," Young said. "Games workshops have been around for about 25 years. You never know who's playing the games. You can't put it in your pocket."
Jordan Tucker, Kingman junior, said that the worst myth about gamers was that they fit into a stereotypical mold.
"Playing games doesn't have to be some crazy, all-enrogning obsession," Tucker said. "It's all kinds of different people. The image is some dude with thick glasses who doesn't wash his hair and reeks. As evidenced by all of us that come down here, that's not true."
Indeed, the Friday night gang at HobbyTown USA is as diverse as the game selections on the walls. Cox is a Lambda Chi Alpha fraternity alumnus who now student teaches. Young is a computer systems operator. Donovan is a music buff who works at Hastings. Children and middle-aged men alike show up to play their games — and kindle friendships.
"It's not so much the game." Donovan said. "It's the camaraderie."

Valentine's music sets mood for love
WHICH YOU CAN STOP BY THE WAY.
By Patrick Cady Kansan correspondent
Music can play a vital role in creating the perfect romantic situation this Valentine's Day. Whether looking for music to underscore an incendi encounter, or just good tunes to chill to, the right mix could be invaluable. Here are 10 songs that could help add flavor your holiday.
10. "All Night Thing" by Temple of the Dog, 1991 — This song features the emotive voice of Chris Cornell crooning behind a slow swinging tempo. It creates a calm, almost sensual atmosphere.
8. "Exit Music (For a Film)" by Radiohead, 1997 — This song begins as a quiet acoustic piece, but eventually it progresses to a near operatic pitch.
9. "Noonight Sonata" by Beethoven, 1801 — Perhaps one of the most haunting melodies ever written. Its rolling rhythm and intricate melody add a sense of timelessness to a moment, and possibly, an evening.
7. "My Funny Valentine" performed by Miles Davis, 1964 — Besides the fitting title, this classic jazz piece has impeccable orchestration and a familiar melody. It works as classy background music, and offers much more on deeper listening.
6. "All You Need Is Love" by The Beatles, 1969 — This song has a simple message and a deeper meaning. Musically it is well done, and would serve as a lighthearted track.
5. "I Want You" by Bob Dylan, 1966 — Dylan's song of yearning fits the theme of the evening, and the melody is light enough to add an easygoing spin on events.
4. "Bolero" by Ravel, 1928 — Reveling in Ravel's Bolero is natural, as it gradually adds a dramatic tinge to the environment. The rhythm in duet and rising and falling crescendos make this piece mesmerizing. 3. "No Woman, No Cry" by Bob Marley, 1974 — This classic reggae song speaks to those who stay on their own for Valentines Day.
2. "When a Man Loves a Woman" by Percy Sledge, 1966 — One of the great love songs of the past century, it is both powerful and melodic. As Sledge sings it, the emotion in his voice seems to radiate making it both romantic and classic.
1. "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye, 1973 — The title of this one pretty much speaks for itself.

hat's the best way to bring a booklet about African-American history to life? For Kappa Alpha Psi fraternity, it was to incorporate its self-written publication "A Lone Story" with a chronological display.
Conway Ekpo, Lawrence senior, said when his fraternity first started to think of ideas to celebrate African-American History Month, it considered organizing a panel discussion or booking a speaker.
But then it decided the best way to celebrate was to "bring the book to life" by creating the display "A Walk Through History," Ekoo said.
The display began in the year 8,000,000 B.C., when scientists believe modern humans first originated from present-day South Africa. From there, "A Walk
Through History" took visitors through a time warp of African-American history, including stops in the slavery era, the Civil War and the Civil Rights movement.

The hair brush was invented by Lydia O. Newman in 1800. Forty years later Edmond Berger created the first spark plug. And more recently, Henry Sampson invented the cell phone in 1971.
Ekpo said the display did a good job of raising awareness of African-American history. About 50 people took the tour yesterday, and Ekpo made many of them learned something new.
One of those people was Angie Carr, coordinator of greek programs, who was most intrigued by the information about the slavery era. Also, Carr said she wasn't aware that the modern-day products on display were invented by African Americans.
Depending on the time of day people took "A Walk Through History," they were also treated to jazz music and various movies, including Amistad. Glory and Malcolm X.
Ekpo ssid the display had been in the planning stages since October, and the past two or three weeks had been spent setting it up. Yesterday was the exhibit's last day.

Kansas baseball to begin season at Round Rock

The Kansas baseball team begins its season tonight at the Round Rock College Express Classic in Round Rock, Texas.
Kansas is scheduled to battle Texas Christian at 6 p.m.. The two teams have prepared for the Classic in distinctly different ways.
Although the Jayhawks have practiced only twice outside on their home diamond in the preseason, the Horned Frogs have six games under their belt. Texas Christian is coming off a 9-6 loss to Missouri Southern, but does own a victory against No. 20 Texas.
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said the Jayhawks would be ready to play tonight, but that playing six games as opposed to practicing outside twice was a definite帮.
"It's certainly a big advantage," Randall said. "But you always say in baseball that hope springs eternal, and our plan is still to overcome it and win."
Southwest Texas State and Charlotte round out the four-team field in the Round Rock Classic. Randall said the Jayhawks had a difficult weekend ahead of them.
"We're going to face a pretty stiff challenge down there with three teams that have more experience at this moment of the season than we do." Randall said. "We've worked on the fundamentals of the game, but we haven't played the game, and the game is a fundamental."
Senior Pete Smart will draw the start tonight and face off against Texas Christian senior Chad Durham. Smart pitched a complete-game, three-hit shutout in Kansas' 3-0 season-opening victory at Texas-San Antonio last season. Smart agreed with Randall that Texas Christian was more experienced at the moment, but also said that the pitching staff was not as affected.
"Not being outside might be a small factor, but fortunately here at Kansas we've got a great facility to work out in," Smart said. "Our pitchers will be ready come the first game."
Randall's main concern entering the season was the inexperience of the pitching staff past Smart and senior reliever Sam Gish. Randall is leaning on two junior-college transfers. Justin Wilcher and Doug Lantz, to fill in the pitching holes this season. Wilcher heads into the season as Kansas' No. 2 starter and is scheduled to pitch tomorrow against Southwest Texas State. Lantz will be one of the first Jayhawks out of the bullpen and is a potential candidate for the closer role.
Randall has an easier task of selecting a starting lineup in the field. He said Casey Spanish at second base, John Nelson at shortstop, Ryan Klocksien at third base, Brent Del Chiaro at catcher, and Doug Dreher at centerfield all had spots locked up in the lineup. Beyond those five starters, Randall said the remaining spots were up for grabs.
Beyond Smart, Wilcher, Lantz and Gish, the forecast for this season's pitching staff is fuzzy. Randall said Kansas' No. 3 starter position was still up for grabs, and sophomore Dan Olson and juniors Jeff Davis and Jake Wright were the three guys fighting for the spot.
Freshman Matt Tribble and junior-college transfer Justin Davis will split time at first base. In the outfield, senior Jesse Gremminger, sophomores Jason Apphun and Matt Van Alsburg, and Tribble and Davis will fight for the remaining two outfield spots. Randall said the Round Rock Classic would give the coaching staff the opportunity to see who could perform at which positions.
"We're going to give everybody the chance to play this weekend so we can see what they can do," Randall said. "I don't even have a batting order set, so this weekend is going to tell us a lot."
Kansas' game against Southwest Texas State is at 2 p.m. tomorrow. The Jayhawks will round out the weekend with a noon game on Sunday against Charlotte.

Emotional game ahead
MEN'S BASKETBALL
'Hawks hope for win after tough losses
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
It would be hard to blame the No. 5 Jayhawks if their focus heading into tomorrow's home game against Oklahoma State wasn't on "the game."
Heck, the rest of the country didn't focus on the game aspect of either the Cowboys' victory on Monday against Missouri or their overtime loss at Nebraska on Wednesday.
It's been hard for people to focus on the game when last month's deaths of two Oklahoma State players and eight traveling party members has remained the center of attention.
Kansas coach Roy Williams vowed to have his team's focus in check, though, and said he thought the Cowboys were trying to do the same.
"I think they would like to have closure on it," Williams said. "But it's more that people won't allow them to have it because people want to show their care and concern."
The Big 12 Conference shows its support for Oklahoma State by having a moment of silence before each conference game in memory of the deceased. Coaches and media members wear orange and black ribbons, and Big 12 teams wear a band around the sleeve of their jerseys to show support.
But Kansas junior forward Jeff Carey said the Jayhawks still had a game to play at 3 p.m. tomorrow in Allen Fieldhouse.
"Once you are on the floor that is all behind you," Carey said. "We are out there to play basketball. I think the Big 12 and all the teams have really shown a lot of concern about that and they don't expect us to feel sorry for them at all."
Although senior center Eric Chenowith said the plane crash wouldn't be on the

Jayhawks' minds after the opening tip, he said that it would play a key role in the game's tempo. He noted the emotion the Cowboys have played with against Missouri as an example of that.
"They are emotionally charged right now," Chenwih said. "They have a lot of momentum coming into this game. We are going to have to match their emotional

level and just go out and play.
"I feel you off the court. On the court you can't feel sorry for them. I don't think they would want that."
Focusing on the game, Oklahoma State presents numerous threats to Kansas. Junior shooting guard Maurice Baker is the second-leading scorer in the Big 12, averaging 20.2 points and seven rebounds per game. Junior forward Fredrik Jonzen, a former Shawnee Mission East player, averages 16.2 points and 6.8 boards.
Beyond that is a powerful trio of sophomores from Kansas. Point guard Victor Williams (Kansas City), forward Andre Williams (Kansas City) and guard Melvin Sanders (Liberal) combine for 27 points and 15 rebounds.
Kansas will turn to sophomore forward Drew Gooden on the inside. Gooden has led the Jayhawks in scoring during the last three games and will be complimented by sophomore forward Nick Collison. Collison blocked four shots in Monday's loss to

No. 12 Iowa State and leads the team in that category with 35 blocks. Chenowith is second with 34.
Additional significance to tomorrow's game is that Kansas (18-3, 7-2) has lost two of its last three games. After tearing through 10 straight wins, the 'Hawks are in their first slump of the season. But Chenwith said the team's confidence wasn't shaken.
"I think we are disappointed," he said. "We lost two big games, but it is not the end of the world. We are only a half-game out of first place and we still have another chance at Iowa State and Missouri."
Oklahoma State (14-5, 5-3) comes first though and Chenowith said the Ja hawks were ready and focused on that game.

Kansas in dire need of win
By Jessie Meyer
With a team dwindled down to 11 eligible players, the Jayhawks cannot afford to have anyone, especially their starters, in foul
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team needs a win — and the Javhawk need it now.
An overabundance of personal fouls has plagued the Jayhawks, and essentially cost them the game Wednesday against No. 19 Colorado. Not only are teams scoring points without the clock running, but Kansas' lack of depth glares when the starters — Jennifer Jackson, Jaclyn Johnson, Brooke Reves, Selena Scott and KC Hilgenkamp — have to take a seat.
With No. 11 Texas Tech and No. 9 Iowa State on the docket next week, tomorrow's game against Missouri is going to be crucial for Kansas' momentum going into the end of the season and the Big 12 Tournament.
Kansas (9-12 overall and 3-7 in the Big 12 Conference) tips off against the Tigers (14-7 and 5-5) at 3 p.m. tomorrow at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo.
"Missouri's going to be a big game," said Kansas coach Marian Washington. "It's going to be a game that I think we can win if we can stay disciplined in a couple areas."
trouble.
"We're just at a point when we're going to let everybody have an opportunity." Washington said. "We're still looking for production from our bench."
Every eligible player saw action Wednesday, but non-starters totaled just seven of the Hawks 60 points.
There can be no letdown against the Tigers, who bring an arsenal of scorers and offensive threats. Senior Amanda Lassiter leads Missouri, averaging 19.8 points and 7.1 boards per game. The forward, who has a teamhigh 57 blocked shots and 67 steals this season, is a threat from behind the arc and in the paint.

Because the bench has failed to produce, the starting five has been forced to play upwards of 30 minutes — leaving the Jayhawks sluggish late in the game.
"I'm sure they'll be amped up for our game," Johnson said. "If we hit our outside shots, we'll come home with a victory. If we don't, we'll come home with an 'I.'"
With all of the obstacles and setbacks the Jayhawks have endured this season, they are still optimistic about the remaining six regular-season games.
"We're just hopeful that we can continue to get some positives from this year," Washington said. "I don't like being in this situation. We are in that rebuilding period, and it's not been easy for any of us. But there's no ques-

KU fans should show respect this weekend, not usual jeers
Students rattle off jeers and insults galore in hopes that visiting players are rattled and more concerned with the crowd than their opponents.
Whether you're in Allen Fieldhouse, Duke's Cameron Indoor Stadium, Missouri's Hearnes Center, or UCLA's Pauley Pavilion, student sections are similar.
Most of the comments are all in fun, just a part of the game. "Overrated" and "Air ball" are staple cheers, while other cheers, if creative or catchy enough, are met with praise.
Before the Iowa State game Monday night, the pregame chant, "Tinsley sucks," was neither creative nor catchy, but simply stupid — the future NBA player scored 18 points, including three deadly three-point shots. Still, it's one of those cheers that's "part of the game."
Unfortunately, lines must be formed around everything, and Kansas fans crossed one against Iowa State last Monday.
Apparently "G.E.D. D." was also chanted, which I found amusing at the time after learning Tinsley was talking trash to some of his Jayhawk counterparts. After gathering all the information, it's clear that sportsmanship was tested.
Students chanted "high school dropout," a cheer directed at Tinsley. The guard's high school struggles shouldn't be ammunition. A letter to the Kansan by Trevor Loney, Nevada, Mo., senior, which can be seen on Page 3B, brought the incident to my attention.
"That's all right, that's OK, you'll be working for us some day" has always been a favorite, too. Maybe it's a little more harsh after hearing the Tinsley incident.
College students are supposed to become intellectual fountains. It would make sense that these people could create witty phrases.
But at a time when sportsmanship is in question, silence is more important than better phrases.
Tomorrow, Oklahoma State will come to the fieldhouse to take on Kansas. The Cowboys will continue its season without two players and a handful of personnel who died in a Colorado plane crash two weeks ago. Ribbons on chests and patches on jerseys nav respect to those on the plane.
Oklahoma State coach Eddie Sutton appreciates the gestures, but also wants the incident to fade into the orange Stillwater sunset. It's logical for Sutton and his players — they have to focus on their opponents.
Kansas fans can show respect for the team and still treat the game as any other. Another letter to the Kansan had a suggestion. Students could either stand in silence or applaud the Oklahoma State bench when its starting lineup is introduced instead of doing the traditional "newspaper reading."
The Iowa State chant wasn't the worst thing to occur in a college basketball game, but it was an embarrassment. Students here aren't all heartless. Heck, they've been known to have a sense of humor, i.e. "shorts on backwards" when former Oklahoma State guard Doug Gottlieb had a problem suiting up in the fieldhouse two years ago.
With that in mind, fans should give the Cowboys a better pomp and circumstance than they gave Tinsley.

The dream is clearer by July, even if the money's not here yet. That comes by September, but shop for the best rate.

MEN'S BASKETBALL Chenowith apologizes for earlier comments
Note: Horoscope have no basis in scientific fact and should be read for entertainment purposes only.
Senior center Eric Chenowith, a day after making comments lashing out at fans overly critical of his play at home games, apologized yesterday in case his remarks were misinterpreted.
"The comments I made yesterday were in reaction to questions I was asked about it, and they were towards the people who are critical of me, and not other people." Chenwolith said.
"I love playing basketball at the University of Kansas — there's no question about that," he said. "One of the main reasons why I came to this University is because we have 16,300 fans every night. Coach (Roy Williams) recruited the heck out of me. One special thing that he did say was that the fans here are going to love and support you no matter what."
Chenowith apologized specifically for a comment he made regarding people who grew up in Kansas and always dreamed of playing basketball for the Jayhawks. He said thoughts of teammates Chris Zerbe and Brett Ballard, who are from Kansas, made him feel remorseful for his words.
Ultimately, he said he hoped fans would understand his remarks and not take things the wrong way. He said he just wants a friendly environment for his final games in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I only have three home games left; I want to make the best of it," he said. "I've got maybe 15 games left in this jersey, and I definitely want to make the best of it and go out on a positive note."

The losses leave Missouri without half of its offense. The school averages 78 points and together, Rush and Gilbert averaged 39.
Snyder also dismissed junior reserve forward Kenge Stevenson from the team for "undisclosed internal reasons." Stevenson, a 6-5 former walk-on who appeared in 27 games in three seasons, was awarded a scholarship prior to this season and will retain the scholarship the rest of the season.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Right-hander Jeff Suppan and the Kansas City Royals agreed yesterday to a $6.5 million, two-year contract that avoids a salary arbitration hearing
Suppan, who made $1,625,000 last season, gets a $700,000 signing bonus, $2 million this year and $3.8 million in 2002. He can earn an additional $150,000 in performance bonuses during the contract.

CBA suspends play in effort to sell teams

Eight of the league's 10 teams failed to met their player payrols today, and it was questionable whether they had money to travel for road games.
The CBA said Thomas personally advanced funds to pay the players through their last games. The league said payments to nonplayer personnel and the resumption of the season will be determined by the local owners.
PHOENIX — The Continental Basketball Association temporarily suspended play yesterday, with league owner Isian Thomas attempting to sell the teams to local groups.
The league's value plummeted when the NBA decided to operate its own development league rather than relying on the CBA.
Thomas, the former NBA star who is now the coach of the Indiana Pacers, bought the CBA in October 1999 for slightly more than $9 million. He has been ordered by the NBA to sell the CBA before next season's training camp.
Women's soccer adds new talents to roster
By Brandon Stinnett

Kansan sportswriter
"I just hope I can make a difference," Geha said. "I want to grow to become a better player."
Amy Gela has dreamt of playing college soccer her entire life. She's spent years on the soccer field perfecting her skills for the next level. And now, after signing a letter of intent to attend Kansas and play for the women's soccer team, her dream will come true.
Geha, a senior at St. Thomas Aquinas in Overland Park, was one of eight players who signed letters of intent yesterday to attend Kansas.
Monica Brothers, a forward from Leavenworth; Rachel Giffillan, a forward from Cottage Grove, Minn.; Stacy Leeper, a midfielder/defender from Overland Park; Meghan Miller, a goalkeeper from Seattle; Gabriela Quiggle, a midfielder from
Portland; Stephanie Reuter, a defender from Overland Park; and Lauren Williams, a midfielder/defender from Laguna Niguel, Calif., will join Geha on the team next fall.
Kansas coach Mark Francis said the new players gave the Jayhawks the talent necessary to compete with the nation's elite teams.
"Most of them are going to be as athletic, if not more athletic, than the players we already have," Francis said. "In order to compete with the top teams in the conference and in the country, we have to match them athletically. We definitely are going to be able to do that now."
The Jayhawks, who finished 7-11-2 last season and qualified for the Big 12 Conference tournament for the first time in the program's five-year history, will return 10 players with starting experience next fall. Francis said he recruited players who will mesh well with the Jayhawks' existing roster.
"Technically, the players are very good and will be able to fit into the style of play that we want to play." Francis said. "We have done a lot of homework on the kids, and we think that mentality they will be able to handle the intensity that we will expect out of them on a daily basis."
Geha, who will play in her final season at Aquinas this spring, said choosing Kansas had removed a lot of stress from her life. In the months leading up to her decision, Geha spent lots of time traveling to universities across the country.
She decided on Kansas because it was close to home and because of Francis, who coached the Kansas State Olympic Development Program team that she played on.
"I think he does a good job dealing with girls," Francis said. "He knows a lot about soccer, and he's an all-around nice guy."

Teams vie for top spot in Big 12
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The top of the Big 12 Conference standings looks like the home stretch at the Kentucky Derby, with several teams poised to stake their claim as No. 1.
"As you start down the stretch, and people start fighting for positions, the intensity is raised automatically because they realize what is at stake," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "We don't go in stages ourselves, we just try to get them to understand that it does get to be more intense once you get into league play."
CAMP
There are three teams within one game of Iowa State (20-3 Overall, 8-2 Big 12), which now has the top spot after beating the Jayhawks (18-3 Overall, 7-2 Big 12) on Monday.

"Our kids were really hurt after the game Monday night," Williams said. "The big thing for them to understand is that things aren't over with. We've got a tougher road to climb than anyone else does that is trying to win it, but we still have to play and are in control of what is going to happen."
Missouri is one of the teams looking up at the Cyclones, but the Tigers will have a hard time making a run — or even a crawl — at the Big 12 title.
The Tigers (14-7 Overall, 5-3 Big 12) lost Kareem Rush, the conference's leading scorer at 21.9 points per game, on Sunday for the season for a hand injury and junior guard Clarence Gilbert was suspended yesterday by coach Quin Snyder for the Tigers' game against Iowa State on Sunday. He was the Big 12's fourth leading scorer, 17.7 points per game. No one else on Mizzou's team is averaging more than nine points.
Oklahoma State, another team in striking distance of the top spot, will be in Lawrence tomorrow to face the Jayhawks at 3 p.m.
The Cowboys (14-5 Overall, 5-3 Big 12) lost to Nebraska 78-75 in overtime last night, but they beat Missouri 69-68 in an emotion-filled game on Monday — their first game since a plane carrying 10 members of the Oklahoma State basketball family crashed on Jan. 27.
"They are emotionally charged right now," said senior forward Eric Chenowith. "They had a big win against Missouri and they have
a lot of momentum coming into this game. We are going to have to match their emotional level and just go out and play."
If the 'Hawks are going to beat Oklahoma State they must handle the Cowboys' pressure defense. They are second to only Baylor in scoring defense, allowing just 65 points per game. Oklahoma State is also third in the conference in steals, swiping eight and a half per game.
"They just guard the ball well," said junior forward Jeff Carey. "Last year they really shut us down and didn't let us get the ball inside very much.
Last season, the Cowboys outscored Kansas 163-111 in two games — including a devastating 86-53 Javahaws loss in Stillwater, Okla.
"They have great guard pressure and they are just a solid defensive team all-around." Carey said. "They don't do anything extremely great, they just do everything well."

Jayhawk fans take
Tinsley cheers too far Good for us, good for us for what we will do in the name of a free throw.
I thought that I heard something about high school when Jamaal Tinsley walked to the throw line at the fieldhouse, but I couldn't quite make it out. As I watched the half-time SportsCenter of the late game on ESPN, Chris Fowler rightly described Kansas fans as bush when he said they were chanting "high school dropout." I am sure that Tinsley has heard it before and probably much worse, but wow, I was amazed that we, the students at KU, would overlook ourselves to such an interlake level.
I wanted to write something down, but it is hard to really explain what I feel without opening myself up to stereotypes and some blatant racist statements. But let me put some of this out there.
Tinsley was quoted by the Associate Press on March 18, 2000, as saying this: "It was like all my other friends were doing something with themselves, and I wasn't. I was just known on the streets, and I got tired of just being known in the streets."
Is Tinsley to be praised because he plays basketball? No. Being a part of the NBA, which he will be next year, is not in and of itself to be praised, but Tinsley could have ended up in a number of other places.
Edited by Doug Pacey
It is fully probable, and I want to make this clear, that Tinsley could have become a positive force in his neighborhood, wherever he ended up. But Tinsley also could have ended up being a real detriment to himself and others. So let's look at what he has done.
He has found a path to realize a dream that seemed like it was lost to him. He doesn't push drugs, he isn't in and out of prison, he is not incarcerated for life, and we find a perceived negative in his background and try to use it against him at a basketball game?
I think that it is sad and shallow of us, many of whom are White and from towns far different than the one in which Tinsley grew up. I have looked at the student section at basketball games, and we are a fairly homogeneous group. A great many of us come from rural towns and suburbs and have no idea what it is like to grow up in an urban environment in which going to high school is not always the top priority.
Often, society would like us to judge people
on the personal decisions and choices that they make. Environmental pressures that limit decision making and push people into certain situations are downplayed or downright ignored.
Tinsley made a positive personal choice. We are quick to criticize when we see somebody make a bad choice, but do we have to attack when someone has seemed to make a positive experience out of a bad situation? And you have to admire the way he plays basketball. He may talk on the court, but did Tinsley ever make one gesture to the crowd? Did he ever get up in a KU player's face? His coolness may be part of a cockey attitude, but I never saw one instance of Tinsley trying to show anyone up.
All he did was play a stellar basketball game.
so Tinsley did not graduate from high school, and that is why it is even more amazing to find him where he is. Not only geographically, in the middle of Iowa, but also personally, So it is basketball, maybe I am making too much of it, but don't become a bigoted animal because you want the ball to go in one hoop more often than another. Just think for yourself for a second before chanting along with a bunch of buffoons.
I am a white kid from a small rural town in Missouri, and I don't claim to have any knowledge of what it is like to grow up in New York, or any urban area for that matter. But it seems strange that we as students we would derive someone who has overcome previous bad decisions. I don't know if Tinsley is going to get his degree in sociology, but studying and playing basketball in Ames is a pretty good place to be now, when Tinsley wasn't sure he was ever going to get off of the playgrounds.
Trevor Loney Nevada, Mo., senior
Just a quick note about Monday's Kansas- Iowa State game.
This really is the country of opportunity, or I couldn't otherwise explain the fact that an uncoordinated so-called "athlete" like Chenowith has ever made it to a Division basketball team, in spite of his evident limitations. Nothing against the guy but, what is
with his constant and blank stare at the court floor? I am aware that, in some exotic cultures, this is a sign of submission and respect but, when it becomes the reason for repeated and unforced turnovers, looking up like the rest of the players suddenly becomes an attractive option.
On a different note, how can a coach such as Roy Williams keep on the court a player whose inability to convert free throws may become a sure liability during the last minutes of a game? Could the answer be because he repeatedly disregards the development of nonstarting players when he has the option to do so during large margin victory games?
Fortunately, Gregory stuck it out and made his last minute free throws profitable. However, and once again, fortune proved not to be a reliable ally when the coaching team chooses to make insensitive decisions ... or no decisions at all.
The desperation of such a call can only lead to a deserption shot.
Otherwise, how could anyone explain that the final and decisive time out was only called after losing and miraculously recovering the ball with nine seconds left on the clock, rather than doing it at the beginning of their possession time?
The number of unconditional fans of Roy Williams explains, better than ever, the true origin of the word "fan": fanatic (a person with an extreme and uncritical enthusiasm or zeal, as in religion or politics.)

Nestle Pretzel Flips — white fudge covered Gold Ring pretzels with Valentine stripes: four and a half hearts
with valentine stripes; four and a half hearts. The fudge covering is sweet and rich with a good flavor, but the pretzels need to be a bit crisper. The Flips were more popular with the female taste testers. You may eat half a bag and feel full, but they are light enough to consume many in one sitting. Plus, the salty pretzels cancel out the sweet coating. Flips are like two snacks in one.
Russell Stover Looney Tunes Treats — individually wrapped snack-size bars of crispy milk chocolate with caramel: three hearts.
Although the bars aren't visually appetizing, the candy bar taste is appealing to those with a real sweet tooth. Our testers said that the caramel was too soft and gooey without enough crunch to balance it out. Recommended serving: one at a time. These babies are very rich.
Necco Sweethearts —
the original Valentine's candy in the traditional flavors. We taste tested the large and small hearts: three hearts.
FAX ME ROMEO LOVE IS SWEET
elementary school
The testers had consumed many of these hearts in a combined total of 49
Valentine's parties, but much of the nostalgia had disappeared. Not much has changed — the candies are still chalky and strange tasting. Although both sizes come in the same flavors, the testers deemed the larger candy "too much chalk at one time, but the flavor is better."
The general consensus is that these cute-looking little candies taste BAD. They have zero chocolate flavor and are way too sugary. Not only do they taste bad, but they are an odd gray-tan-purple color and the beloved Valentine's sayings are barely legible. However, one tester found a potential use for the horrible little candies: "You should face them with Ex Lax and give them to your ex."
Necco Chocolate Sweethearts — like the traditional Necco hearts but chocolate flavored: one-half of a heart.
Candy makers cash in on hearts
By Sarah Warren
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
"Girl Power." "E-Mail Me," "2001 Hugs."
These are just three of the sayings on the 8 billion candy sweet-hearts produced by the Necco Candy Company for sale during the Valentine's Day season, according to www.neco.com.
There's the traditional, the jumbo, the newer chocolate and "Ultra mint" versions. That's a lot of sweet nothings, and there's differing opinions about what role candy should play in Cupid's day.
Sam Han, Wichita junior, works the information and candy counter at the Kansas Union. Han sells the little conversation hearts by the pound this time of year, but said that the coy sayings on the candies were nothing more than money grabbers for companies like Necco and Brach's, who also makes the hearts.
"Personally, I think that candy companies are making tons of money using this holiday," Han said. "But, hey, people just like candy."
Andrea Barefield, Minneapolis, Kan., senior, said she agreed with Han about the commercial aspect of Valentine's Day.
“It's like they try to make as much money as they can, when it's just supposed to be a holiday that you spend with someone you love,” Barefield said. “I may not be a big fan of Valentine's Day, but I'm a big fan of candy.”
Another big fan of candy is Bonny Martens, an employee at Penny Annie's Sweet Shoppe, 845 Massachusetts St. Martens, unlike Barefield, happens to be both a candy addict and a fan of Valentine's Day.
"I think candy is more useful than flowers for Valentine's Day," Martens said. "Id much rather get the candy because it's sweet and wonderful."
But for Jeanie Schaller, Manhattan sophomore, sugar isn't enough to win her over on Valentine's Day — the sugar's got to be mixed with chocolate.
"Chocolate is probably the best gift I could get," Schaller said. "Sweethearts are okay, but they're not chocolate."
Brach's Valentine Peppermint
Edited by Brandy Straw
Nougats — chewy, r individually-wrapped candy with a heart in the middle: one heart.
These taffy wannabe treats have the consistency
pumpkin
have the consistency of the scum on a tube of toothpaste
of the scum on a tube of toepastap after the lid has been left off overnight. The candies are very minty but best left in the traditional Christmas-tree version. They also leave a gooey film on the roof of your mouth that is not fun to try to scrape off. Officially rated a negative seven by one tester.
M&M's Minis Valentine Heart — a chocolate heart
shell with mini M&M's inside; two and a half hearts.
This candy package had a cute rattling sound, but when the foil wrapping was removed, the outer chocolate shell looked like it had been shipped to the store last December. Plus, the unwrapping and breaking of the heart was like biology class only tastier. The dusty chocolate wasn't very sweet and tasted three months old. The M&M's were too small to enjoy one at a time. The rating was boosted because of the cuteness factor and functional gift for-small children appeal.
Russell Stover Assorted
caramel, coconut, toffee, marshmallow and other chocolates in a heart-shaped box; four hearts
Russell Stover.
There's something for everyone in Russell
Stover's traditional, heart-shaped box of chocolates. The only problem is that you'll have to fight everyone else for the good pieces. The milk chocolate-covered caramel was rich and creamy but stuck to the testers' teeth. The best part of the box was watching one tester bite into a coconut chocolate by mistake and then spit it out. Rated a four because of the wide, yet sometimes disgusting, variety.
Barbie Candy Necklace Kit — pink and white candy beads, white, heart-shaped candy pendants: four hearts.
Blame it on the sugar buzz? The testers decided this last sampling should be called "Barbie's Kinky Necklace Kit." The kit received a score of four hearts for making-and-eating fun potential. The candy is hard and crunchy, and the testers recommended making an all-pink necklace because the white beads "taste funky." One tester said it was, "better than edible underwear, but not as much fun as chocolate body paint."
--- Sara Nutt
Ratings are based on a one to five heart scale, one being something to feed only to those you passionately dislike and five being the equivalent of Valentine's ambrosia from the love gods.

One sport is not enough for double-duty athletes
By Michael Sudhalter
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
Imagine waking up at 6 a.m., conditioning for football practice, attending a full day of classes and then going to practice for another sport.
That is the daily routine for four Kansas football players — freshmen Leo Bookman, and Tony Stubbs, junior Quincy Roe and senior Eric Patterson — who also compete for the track and field team.
Kansas track and field coach Stanley Redwine said the communication between himself and Kansas football coach Terry Allen made it a simple process for the athletes to compete in both sports.
Redwine also commended the athletes' commitment in both sports.
"All four of them are good sprinters who have an attitude to achieve," he said. "If we didn't think that they could contribute, we wouldn't have them on the team."
"Trying to manage your time as a two-sport athlete is challenging because you are away so much during both semesters." Patterson said.
Patterson, who played wide receiver and competes in hurdle events, said he chose Kansas rather than several Pac-10 Conference schools because the Jayhawks recruited him in both sports.
He said he gave both sports equal attention, but track helped him prepare for the football season. He has won several events during his track career, including the 60-meter hurle event at the 2000 KU/KSU/MU Triangular Meet and the 55-meter hurle event at the 1999 Kansas Invitational.
Bookman and Stubbs redshirted during the 2000 football season, but they plan to continue participating in two sports during their time at Kansas.
Stubbs, who is listed as a running back and defensive back in football and is a sprinter in track, said track provided a wonderful conditioning opportunity for him.
"I wanted to get my speed back and get back in shape," Stubbs said. "I would like to get good times in both the 60-meter dash and 200-meter dash."
Stubbs was sidelined at the beginning of the season after suffering leg injuries that required hospitalization.
Bookman said he enjoys the challenge of competing in both track and football.
"It is kind of hard balancing football and track, but I love both sports." Bookman said.
Bookman, who chose Kansas instead of Baylor, Houston and New Mexico, said other schools had given him the opportunity to compete in both sports, but he enjoyed the overall atmosphere in Lawrence.
Roe is a two-year starter at defensive back for Kansas and started every game for the Jayhawks at that position last season.
The track and field team will compete at the Iowa State Invitational today in Ames, Iowa.

Atheist,agnostic student group hopes to boost campus profile
I
Students trudge down snowy sidewalks Friday on their way to afternoon classes. Morning classes were canceled Friday because University administrators decided snowy and icy
By Sarah Smersh writer@kansas.com
Kansan staff writer
Some of them don't think so, and some of them don't know — about whether God exists, that is.
The Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, a student organization founded in November, is preparing to better advertise its existence to the student body with speakers, an outreach program and social events.
Today, SOMA — the acronym refers to a mellowing pill taken in Aldous Huxley's Brave New World — will celebrate Darwin Day with guest speaker Matt Stein, physician and lecturer in humanities and Western civilization. Darwin Day is a national celebration of evolutionist Charles Darwin's birthday. Darwin was born in 1809.
Peter Brabant, Lawrence senior and the group's co-founder and president, said he was happy to provide a forum for "generally questioning" people to "meet, hang out and chat." Brabant, who said he was an atheist, said that many religious groups were available to students, but that the group was the first of its kind on campus.
"When I was a kid and I had five or six people who shared beliefs with me, we thought we were crazy," Box said.
"I had looked for an organization like this since I was a freshman." Brabant said.
The group now has about 50 members, and one of its main goals is to "dispel public misconceptions" that label atheists and agnostics as crazy or amoral, Brabant said. Box said they were "frowned upon" at a recent campus organization fair.
Co-founder and vice president D.J. Box, Kansas City. Mo. senior, said he was agostic. He said he was grateful for the chance to gather with like-minded people.
"Just because I say I don't adhere to the beliefs of someone else, I'm (considered) a bad person," Box said. "If you sit in a room of our association, you'll find a group of very nice, very moral people."
Winter storm cripples campus
Box said nonreligious people developed morals on their own and were stronger because they "accepted responsibility for their own actions" rather than falling back on organized religion.
But Nate Findley, treasurer and Prairie Village senior, said that the group had no intention to recruit others to their beliefs — or lack thereof.
"We're not out to indoctrinate people," said Findley, an agnostic. "We only want you to have an open mind when you come to our group."
Brabant said that the group was evenly

Snow and ice kept students out of class Friday morning for the first time since 1997.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost, said she decided to put the inclement weather policy to work because doing so would give students, faculty and staff more daylight time to get to the University.
The inclement weather policy allows faculty and staff to arrive at work later and leave earlier.
McCluskey-Fawcett said she and Jim
Long, assistant provost, made the decision to cancel classes around 6:15 a.m. on Friday.
"This was a public safety issue," she said.
Classes have been canceled for weather-related reasons only eight times since 1972, when University Archives began keeping records of cancellations.
The last time classes had been canceled prior to Friday was Jan. 27, 1997.
Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said the decision to cancel classes was made after getting reports from the police, highway patrol and University facilities operations.
After that, Bretz said, the University Relations staff started to make a series of phone calls.
They contacted radio and television stations and informed 864-SNOW, the University's weather hotline, of the decision. They also let KU Info and some key University administrators know classes were canceled.
Holly Krebs, campus transportation coordinator, said KU on Wheels received information that classes were canceled soon after the decision was made and then decided to cancel bus service for the morning.
"We decided to run just when needed for classes." Krebs said.
Courtney Crouch, Wichita junior, said she thought classes also should have been canceled in the afternoon.
"I was pretty mad about it," Crouch said. She said she was surprised that the University would rather force students to drive in the snow than cancel the classes for a full day.
Bretz said the University decided to cancel only morning classes based on updated weather information.
Eric Duncan, Chicago freshman, had all three of his Friday classes canceled.
"After I found out there were no classes, I went right back to bed." Duncan said.

Tet party a high-tech success
By Danny Philips
writer @kansas.com
Kansas staff writer
Welcome to the 21st century of Tet celebrations.
The Vietnamese Lunar New Year's Gala, presented by the Vietnamese Student Association Saturday night at the Kansas Union ballroom, sported a distinctly modern edge — complete with Say What Karaoke, TV commercial spoofs and multimedia videos.
Brothers Jim and John Nguyen were the masterminds behind the technical operations, including a short film called The Vietster that was obviously inspired by Terminator , Aliens and Predator.
"It btw all the others out of the water," said Vinh Quang Nguyen, Overland Park junior and the group's internal vice president, referring to past Vietnamese New Year's productions at the University of Kansas.
He said it was the most technologically advanced Tet show the group has produced.
The group's Tet celebration had more traditional productions as well. The evening began with the Dragon Dance, performed by four students — two in each dragon costume.
the routine highlighted the acrobatic talents of the performers.
At one point, one of the dragon teams snatched party favors dangling from a wire strung across the upper level of the ballroom.
Linh Trang Cao, Garden City sophomore and the group's president, said it wasn't until the Friday rehearsal before the celebration that an organization member was able to secure a couple of dragon costumes from friends in Topeka.
The smaller of the two students in the costume hoisted himself on top of his partner's shoulders, making the dragon appear to be standing on its hind-legs.
The Dragon Dance is a mainstay of the group's New Year's shows, but this year it almost didn't happen.
Erin Blocher, Colorado Springs, Colo., sophomore, came to see her roommate in the performance. She said that even though she was concerned about traveling on the icy roads, the show was worth the trip. Her favorite routines were the Dragon Dance and the "Runway to 2001" fashion show.
The event organizers were able to incorporate the routine in less than 36 hours because the choreography had already been planned out. Cao said.

Valentine's dance benefits local AIDS assistance group
By Livi Regenbaum
By LM kegenbium
Tanya Martin danced the right away at the 10th annual Douglas County AIDS Project Valentine's dance Saturday at Liberty Hall.
Kansan staff writer
Martin, Lancaster, Pa., graduate student, said she was pleased with the high turnout at the dance.
"This dance is awesome," she said. "I had no idea this was such a big community event."
The benefit drew a crowd of about 400 people. The dance featured blues artist Kelley Hunt, who performed her original songs with eclectic influences of blues, jazz and R&B. A silent auction including items donated by community members and local businesses was also held.
Sydney Hardgrave, executive director of DCAP, said the event was a time for the community to come together as well as a way to raise money to provide quality health service for the community.
"We help people find resources to help them with the disease such as physicians, home health care providers and individual support counselors," she said.
Hardgrave said 10 percent of the project's client base was associated with the University of Kansas.
Catherine Bolton, event organizer, said she hoped the event would increase the group's visibility in the community.
"We hope this dance will help support services that DCAP offers to the community," she

said.
"It is a problem for college students because they think that they are invincible," Wilson said.
Christopher Penn, a DCAP board member and infectious disease physician for the Internal Medicine Group, 2300 Harvard Rd, said AIDS education needed to be enforced.
"AIDS is a huge problem and certainly is present in Lawrence," he said.
Events organizer Bolton said the public should be more aware of the high number of HIV cases being reported daily.
"People have this public perception about HIV not being serious because of the new medications that have come out," she said. "However, 15,000 new cases of HIV are reported everyday."
Brian Leffter, Leavenworth junior and DCAP volunteer, said he hoped students would avoid risky behavior.
For more information, contact DCAP at 843.0040.
"It is nice to feel invincible for a while, but the sooner you realize you are not, the better," he said.

Detective John Lewis said the woman was with two male Haskell students on the Haskell campus and began to feel she was becoming drunk quicker than she normally would. Lewis said one of the two men made a comment about raping her, and she called a friend to pick her, up.
The student's friend got her out of the situation before anything happened, Lewis said, and the woman then passed out.

Police had not yet contacted the two suspects Friday, Lewis said.

Cameras snapped fan mugs at 'Snooper Bowl'
TAMPA, Fla. — As 100,000 fans stepped through the turnstiles at Super Bowl XXXV, a camera snapped their image and matched it against a computerized police lineup of known criminals, from pickpockets to international terrorists.
It's not a new kind of surveillance. But its use at the Super Bowl — dubbed "Snooper Bowl" by critics — has highlighted a debate about the balance between individual privacy and public safety.
Law enforcement officials say what was done at the Super Bowl is no more intrusive than routine video surveillance that most people encounter each day as they're filmed in stores, banks, office buildings or apartment buildings.
"I think it presents a whole different picture of America," said Howard Simon, executive director of the American Civil Liberties Union in Florida.
Rapper Eminem to play Grammys despite outcry
LOS ANGELES — Eminem will perform at the Grammy Awards this month despite his controversial lyrics.
The performance was approved by the television committee of the National Academy of Recording Arts and Sciences and supported by CBS, which is broadcasting the event Feb. 21, academy President Michael Greene said Friday.
"I have issues with the lyrical content of the album, no question about that," he said. "But again, art has its extremities, and you can't really predict how they're going to play themselves out. This is one of the extremities for sure."
The action drew immediate outcry from the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation, which labeled the performance invitation deeply offensive.
"Eminem should not have another platform for his hateful lyrics," GLAAD Executive Director Joan M. Garry said.
Maryland county sees Latino population jump
GATIHERSBURG, Md. — A new face arrives in teacher Sharon Dreyfus' second-grade classroom about every couple of weeks. The youngster typically speaks little English and comes from a family of recent immigrants.
"The biggest challenge is to keep constantly changing the program around to meet the needs of all the kids," said Dreyfus, who teaches at Rosemont Elementary School.
The most recent Census Bureau estimates show that the Latino population increased 46.7 percent, to 32.8 million, between the 1990 census and November 2000. The growth rate in the 1990s in Montgomery County, Md., where Gaithersburg is located, was 64.3 percent.
Projections show that by next year Hispanics are expected to pass Black, non-Latinos as the country's largest minority group — 34.7 million to 34.3 million.
Bush aims to improve U.S.military morale
WASHINGTON — Improving quality of life in the military is the Bush administration's first order of business as it conducts its top-to-bottom armed services review, said Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld.
"I think the focus has to be on quality of life for the people." Rumsfeld said. "Without the men and women that we're able to attract and retain to man the forces, then we really don't have a national defense, so that has to be the first focus."
poor housing and pay and unfocused, "overextended" missions were eroding morale.
Bush said equipment shortages.
Rumsfeld also defended Bush's plan to develop a missile defense system, calling it a "reasonable" step to protect against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.
More bodies recovered in aftermath of quake
BHUJ, India — Authorities clearing mountains of rubble in western India have recovered 400 decomposed bodies from the debris of homes destroyed by the nation's worst earth quake in 50 years.
WORLD
During the past few days, soldiers have been able to dig deeper into the rubble using both hand tools and large cranes.
The bodies were found Saturday and Sunday, said Anup Kumar Singh, deputy inspector general of police in Bhuj.
The quicker work likely means a rapid increase in the confirmed death toll from the 7.7-magnitude quake that struck on Jan. 26, devastating more than 900 villages in the Bhuj-Kutch district.
The Gujarat state government says it has recovered nearly 18,000 bodies — 15,785 from the Bhuj area, Singh said. Unofficial estimates put the death toll at around 30,000.
Bush to visit Mexican president's hometown
SAN CRISTOBAL, Mexico — When President Bush comes to this village baked by dust and sun on Friday, he will see newly planted grass, freshly painted walls and gleaming telephone poles that soon will connect San Cristobal to the world.
What he is unlikely to see are the village's poor peasants and the bleak choice they have long lived with: Work for the family of President Vicente Fox for subsistence wages or cross illegally into the United States to try to make their fortune.
Rita Cruz, 23, said almost all the men in San Cristobal are either in the United States or have spent years there. Seven of her nine brothers are there, as are two uncles and countless cousins.
Illegal immigration is expected to figure at the top of the agenda when Fox and Bush meet on the U.S. president's first foreign trip.
"There are no men here, only little boys," she said. "They leave with the hope of coming back with some money so they can do something here."

Napster ruling expected today
The Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Major record labels hope Monday's longawaited appellate court ruling in their case against Napster, Inc., will force millions of computer users to pay for music the online music-swapping service has allowed them to get for free.
But if Napster wins, the ruling could unleash other ventures that have been waiting for guidance on whether a "personal use" exception to copyright law allows trading songs over the Internet.
"Napster is a real threat

Sony, Warner, BMG, EMI and Universal — sued when the service, based in Redwood City, Calif., took off, saying it could rob them of billions of dollars in profits.
The issue before the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is whether to uphold U.S. District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel's injunction ordering Napster to shut down pending a trial on the music industry lawsuit. The injunction was stayed pending
the 9th Circuit review.
But the three judge appellate panel also could rule more broadly, describing how copyright law should apply to emerging technologies that make it more difficult to control and profit from the distribution of music, software, movies and other creative content.
University of Southern California constitutional law professor Erwin Chemerinsky wondered whether record companies would have any financial incentive to produce music if it is increasingly copied and given away electronically.
"Authors and producers need the assurance of a return that free downloading undermines," Chemerinsky said. "Napster is a real threat to creativity and production."

Columnist criticizes political press

Kansan staff writer
Famed writer and newspaper columnist Molly Irvins told a crowd of about 250 Friday that there were few journalists left in journalism.
Ivins came to the University to accept the William Allen White Foundation National Citation, which has been given to journalists including Bob Woodward, Bernard Shaw and George Will.
Ivins' speech at Woodruff Auditorium in the Kansas Union was focused on the role of the media when covering politics.

ku
She said that the political press didn't know how to cover anything but spin and criticized political pundits who don't have any background in journalism, such as George Stephanopolous and Dick Morris.
Ivins also criticized the concentration of ownership in today's media.
She said that by 1897,29 companies owned most of newspapers, magazines, radios and television stations in the country.
Now, Ivins said, the ownership is concentrated within seven companies.
She said those companies were concerned only with making profits.
"You work for people who have no understanding of journalism," Irvins said.
Ivins also said it was important to keep independent newspapers alive because they focused on reporting and not on profits.
Ivins, who is battling cancer, said she didn't want to be seen as a "grumbling old woman" who thought everything was better when she was young.
"We were never better," she said.
"We just felt better."
Ivins also made the audience laugh by poking fun at President George W. Bush.
"He's not actually dumb," Irvins said. "But he's not interested in governing. That bores him."
Ivins joked that many of the people in attendance had come to the speech out of desperation to understand the new president.
Ivins said she was happy to have Bush as president because he would consistently be a source of funny material for her columns.
Ivins made that evident by exploring Bush's grammatical inaccuracies.
"Bush would incentivize oil exploration in Mexico so that the United States wouldn't be so dependent on foreign oil." Irvins said.
Anneliese Stoever, Overland Park junior, said that Ivins' speech
was amazing.
"She is incredibly intelligent," Stoever said. "She overcomes everything with a smile."
James Gentry, dean of journalism, was impressed with the high attendance for Ivins' speech.
"It was an excellent talk, filled with her humor but with serious
underlying themes," Gentry said.
Tim Glassco, Wichita second-year law student, said Ivins had a great way of depicting the political landscape.
"She makes you think that everything will be all right," Glassco said.

Game day causes slow Saturday at library
By Michelle Ward
wrter@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
While thousands crowded into Allen Fieldhouse to watch the University of Kansas basketball game Saturday, a few students opted to visit a virtual ghost town — Watson Library.
Nicole Schnellbacher, Topeka senior, left her game ticket sitting at home Saturday afternoon. Instead, she spent time at the library doing research with a partner for an industry analysis.
"It was the only time we could do it," Schnellbacher said. "I really wish I was watching the game. We are getting some research done, and I'll be parked in front of my computer typing the paper the rest of the day."
Yongjoon Jeo parks at one of the back tables of the fourth floor each weekend. The Seoul, South Korea doctoral student in political science researched his dissertation on U.S. interest groups and foreign trade policy-making. Although immersed in his work, he still took the time to find out how the 'Hawks were doing.'
"I am going to check the scores on the ESPN Web site." he said.
Elizabeth McCoy, Pittsburg junior, worked at the circulation desk. She said it was a pretty typical weekend for her — meaning it was a slow one.
Quiet weekends give McCoy and her coworkers time for maintenance that they usually don't have
time for during the week. They clean and shelve books while straightening misplaced periodicals
Game days do provide other problems for students at the library.
"Parking up here is crazy," McCoy said. "Traffic is so bad coming to work. Fans are coming to the game, and they have to have a place to park. It makes it hard for people who want to use the library."
It was not a matter of want but need for Shawn Beatty, Ottawa senior. He hadn't missed a game all season, but he made the sacrifice this weekend for academic reasons.
While Beatty said he only occasionally went to Watson, he did make the trek when he needed to get something done. It was a convenient
time for him to come and read at the library Saturday, and the weather helped motivate him. he said.
It wasn't convenience but money that brought Jason Lentz, Atchison freshman, to the library. Lentz works at the circulation desk at Watson.
It was a slow day for him, with the number of patrons cut in half from a usual weekend.
Although he spends a lot of time shelving and sorting books, he squeezes in a little time for reading time and surfing the Web. But he said his job did take him away from a Saturday afternoon with friends.
"I do feel like I am missing out," Lentz said. "I have to work. I have a lot of bills to pay."

Abortion issue offers no new perspective
old debates don't die. They just keep annoying us.
A glance at the Kansan's editorial pages of the past couple of weeks showed that the oldest and moldiest of the liberal-conservative debates — abortion — still has enough juice left in it to inflame students.
For comments, contact Chris Borniger or Nathan Willis at 864-4924 or opinion@kansan.com
I skimmed the letters and noticed something interesting: None of them told me anything new.
As an active observer of the great left-right battle since grade school, I remember the heated abortion debates of the early '90s, when Operation Rescue stridently protested outside Wichita clinics. I vividly recall the heated battle of letters and editorials on the *Wichita Eagle* oin-
How interesting—and how discouraging—to see that so little has changed. Forget consensus. Forget trying to understand others' points of view. Let's just use the most charged rhetoric possible.
ion page, venom and bile spewing from all sides.
But it's not just abortion. Try evolution, a missile defense system or minority rights. Ancient divisive controversies have continued to pop up in the past couple of years, bringing out the worst in people and the country.
We like to think of our society as progressive. We like to think that the 2000s are better than the 1950s, which were better than the 1890s. The country develops and matures as the decades pass, serving its people better and better.
P. K. SINGH
Clay McCusition columnist opiniononkansan.com
But debates such as these suggest that we aren't as quick to change as we like to think. Roe v. Wade is nearly three decades old, yet the bitterness and resentment it conjures is still fresh in the minds and hearts of many.
Charles Darwin postulated the theory of evolution more than a century ago, and biologists have used it as a cornerstone of their work ever since. Yet many people of faith still find Darwin's conclusions unbearable to consider.
A missile defense system was criticized worldwide when first proposed by Ronald Reagan in the 1980s, yet George W. Bush and his advisers seem to believe that aggravating the majority of the world's nations is the way to best secure the count try's safety.
Minority rights now are protected by federal laws, yet large numbers of African Americans still feel unfairly persecuted by law enforcement officers and practices such as racial profiling.
These issues are old. The debates surrounding them have remained the same for years. And many reasonable people — both liberal and conservative — probably believed that they were settled. Done with.
Even if one doesn't believe in abortion rights, the Supreme Court repeatedly has supported their existence. Even if one doesn't believe in evolution, the vast majority of scientists accept it. Even if one believes the U.S. must pursue a vigorous defense policy, our lack of a missile defense during the past two decades has not resulted in huge air attacks from hostile powers. Even if one believes minorities are somehow inferior, the government has recognized everyone's equal protection under law.
But these matters aren't settled. People still feel strongly about them. Progress has not been made. It's clear, as the country prepares for four years under a new president, that true unity is impossible. We can no longer assume that because something is legal and accepted by many that it will remain free from the excess, brutal attacks of others.
These issues can't be resolved. They won't ever be resolved. We are fortunate enough — and unfortunate enough — to live in a country where ideological battles aren't suppressed. We have to put up with them.
The arguments may not change, but that doesn't mean they will go away.

Weekend road trips put students' lives in danger
For many of us at the University of Kansas, returning home for a weekend or break entails a lot of driving. For some, the distances are substantial, as is the case for me.
A couple of weekends ago, I drove almost 300 miles to visit Pratt — my hometown — 200 miles to go and from a meeting and
another 300 to return to Lawrence. These 800 miles gave me a revelation.
Although I had driven this many miles in a weekend and sometimes more, during this particular trip I was witness to several acts of road rage and stupidity.
PARKING MAYOR
Luckily, none of the incidents resulted in a wreck or physical injury, but I was emotionally unsettled.
The actions and reac-
The actions and reactions I witnessed made me realize how dangerous driving can be. I saw extreme speeds, sudden braking for no apparent reason and tailgating.
I actually saw one man driving alone in a pickup truck frantically looking for some object in the backseat of his extended cab. At one point, he almost completely turned around and bent over the front seat, digging around in the backseat. I found it in my best interest to slow down to a crawl to keep a safe distance from him.
Erin Riffey columnist
opinion@kansan.com
While he wasn't watching, his truck had meandered into the other lane, and the oncoming traffic barely had enough room to swerve around him on the shoulder. When he finally noticed his predicament,
he turned around and got back into the lane in front of me, pulled out the map that he had been looking for, unfolded it, and started to read it. Luckily, he turned off the main road a few miles down the road, making that two-lane highway a little safer.
As I continued on my way, I noticed a repeated pattern of tailgating, passing and sudden braking.
Although witnessing these events was no significant surprise, they concerned me. On any given weekend, hundreds of students venture home for many reasons: family gatherings, birthdays, weddings, parties, etc.
This leap-frog contest held up traffic and caused a line of vehicles to swerve to avoid a pile-up in the middle of the road. This was probably an example of road rage, with the driver of the first vehicle trying to get the second to back off to increase safety for all. However, the reaction to the initial action put more people into a risky situation than the action itself.
Frankly, drivers, including ourselves, can and most likely will do something stupid during their travels. However, this does not give anyone the right to react maniacally and irrationally.
Although I am not discouraging the act of driving (I drive all the time), I'm irritated with many others' driving habits. Distances can be long. Driving can be emotionally and mentally tiring.
These students are risking the chance that they may never get to where they are going, sometimes by no fault of there own.

George W. Bush's proposal threatens to further segregate schools by class.
Voucher plan would harm U.S. schools
Whatever your political party, it is hard not to applaud President George W. Bush's efforts to improve public schools. However, the president's education reform package includes school vouchers, which would threaten equal opportunity education and would further cripple an already limping school system.
Many schools considered to be failing are underfinanced and located in impoverished areas. A $1,500 credit would do little good for a low-income student attending one of these schools because most private schools' tuition far exceeds that.
Bush refuses to use the term "school vouchers." Instead, he talks about a $1,500 "education credit," which would be awarded to the parents of children attending failing schools. Parents then could apply the credit toward tuition at a private or religious school or switch to a different public school in the district.
Austin Turney, Lawrence Board of Education president, agreed.
Whatever you call them, vouchers further segregate students. Students from more affluent families would attend private schools while others would go to public schools. There is also not enough room for every child in a failing school to transfer to a successful (most likely suburban) one.
"The proposed amount, $1,500, is merely a subsidiary for people who can already afford private school," he said. "There is only a marginal group for whom this would even make a difference."
The students unable to transfer would be in danger because every student who transfers from a failing school takes money with them.
"In most places, schools that fall behind need money to catch up," Turney said. "If you take money away, you'll have the reverse effect."
Bush is correct that children should not be forced to attend bad schools, but taking away bright students and funding is not the answer.
"The typical simple answer for what is wrong with our schools is that we need smaller classes," Turney said. "To get smaller classes, you need more teachers, and how are you going to hire more teachers if you can't afford to pay them?"

Ministries support KU Christians
By Dawn North Special to the Kansan
University of Kansas students need not leave everything familiar behind when they come to campus. Many devoted Christians bring Jesus to school with them.
For some college students, religion and going to church played a big part in their childhood. But moving away from home and their parents' expectations can test their personal faiths.
“It's crucial to make your faith your own,” said Allison Unrhub, booking agent for the Pool Boys, a local Christian music groun.
Unruh said college was a good time for that to happen, and suggested getting involved in one of the Christian organizations on
campus.
To facilitate the meeting of campus ministers and students, there will be a campus ministry fair at 9 p.m. today at the Union Ballroom in the Kansas Union.
The Pool Boys, the in-house band and organizers of the fair, have invited campus ministry leaders to join those who attend the fair so students can meet pastors and leaders from the various organizations.
There are approximately 20 Christian ministries on campus, aside from the weekly "Open Swim" event, a nondenominational worship service that attracts about 500 students every Monday night in the Ballroom.
Erin Hibbard, Lawrence senior and president of Chi Alpha
CAMPUS MINISTRY FAIR
■ When: 9 p.m. Monday
■ Where: Kansas Union Ballroom

Ministries, said she would be at the fair tonight. She also named four things Chi Alpha believed students needed to grow in their relationships with Jesus.
"You need a Bible study to attend. You need somewhere for praise and worship. You need to have a campus group and you need a local church," she said. "Open Swim is a great place for praise and worship, but a campus group gives you peers to help you get
through college."
Lindsey Chalfant, Manchester, Mo., senior and president of Campus Crusade for Christ, said it was vital to have a support network on campus.
"It's difficult to persevere in your relationship with God when you're trying to do it all alone," she said.
Andy Pfister, Wichita junior, is a member of Intervarsity Christian Fellowship. He said he joined the group because he needed people who would challenge and listen to him.
"I strongly encourage anyone to get involved in a campus ministry," he said. "It is just a matter of finding one that you fit into."

Group challenges beliefs
MISSION

divided between atheists and agnostics and had also welcomed Unitarians, Muslims and Catholics at its biweekly meetings.
Members of the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics (from left to right) Rob Helmstetter, Prairie Village junior; Peter Brabant, Lawrence senior; Nate Findley, Prairie Village senior; Gregory Fitzgerald Carlew, Kansas City, Mo., resident; and D.J. Box, Kansas City, Ma., senior, demonstrate how humans evolved from apes. The group examines alternatives to organized religion. Photo by Aaron Showalter/KANSAN
Box said that if a right-wing Christian came to a group meeting with plans to convince members of his or her beliefs, he or she "would get complete respect, but I don't think he would save any of our souls."
Box said those people were missing the point because the basis of atheism and agnosticism was to use logical reasoning rather than to claim knowing who was right or wrong.
"Agnosticism is the only correct religion that can't be argued against by anyone alive
— no one can tell me that I don't know." Box said with a laugh. He said that it was impossible to challenge a philosophy devoid of any belief system.
Jill Pittman, Haskell, Okla., junior and member of University Christian Fellowship, questioned Box's stance.
Pittman defended against stereotypes of Christians as being closed-minded.
"All actions are based on some kind of belief," Pittman said. "They're acting on what they think is right or wrong, and eventually you have to ask the question of where you believe that comes from."
"Our theologies are at totally opposite ends of the spectrum,"
The group will attempt next week to convince Student Senate not to shut them out from funding. A bill sponsored by J.D. Jenkins, Shawnee senior and a College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, to grant money to the group passed Senate committees last week and will be up for consideration by full Senate Wednesday.
Objections to allocating money to the group were argued on the grounds that the group is actually a religious organization. Senate's funding of religious organizations is
strictly limited to expenses such as printing costs.
Findley said such an accusation was ridiculous and pointed to the diverse philosophies of SOMA's members as proof that the group operates with no doctrines or beliefs.
Box said he hoped senators would understand the group's purpose when they reviewed its eligibility for funding Wednesday.
"We aren't about to answer the question of whether or not there's a God," Box said. "But we will challenge the belief system of anyone who thinks they know the answer."

High-tech festivities mark Tet holiday
Continued from page 1A
Noy Southmammavong, Lawrence freshman, showed up halfway through the program and said he wanted to see the breakdancing contest during the post-show dance in the ballroom.
Other highlights of the Tet celebration included the Light Dance, choreographed by Diane Le, Kansas City, Mo., junior and the group's external president, featuring women dancing in the dark with glow sticks, and the Tet show's finale, the Flash Back Flash Forward multimedia presentation produced by John Neuvym, a KU graduate.
About 250 people were on hand to watch the presentation.
One of the more interesting aspects of the party was Jim Nguyen's 15-minute The Vietster. The 15-minute production took Nguyen, Wichita senior, three months to make "from scratch," he said.
Nguyen said the most challenging element of the project was the three-dimensional rendering of the film's special effects on his home computer. He said his main concern was to make it look professional.
The Vietster starred Nguyen as an Arnold Schwarzenager-like character wearing a leather jacket, dark sunglasses and a non la, a traditional Vietnamese-style hat.
The plot followed Nguyen's character as he tried to reclaim his pocket-watch from some thugs that stole it from him. He battled them during the film's climax and emerged victorious, but only after he morphed into an *Allens* type creature that also wore the *non la*. The film ended when Nguyen was beamed aboard a spacecraft and adopted by an alien colony.
After the show, while the student association was prepping the ballroom for the dance, a visibly exhausted Cao reflected on the night's events.
"I couldn't do this without everyone in the organization helping out," Cao said. "They're so dedicated. It's over with and we're like, 'wow.'"

Kansas alert for Baylor ambush
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
It might be a case of "looks can be deceiving" when No. 5 Kansas plays Baylor at 8 tonight in Waco, Texas. But if so, the Javahawks aren't buying it.
Baylor (15-6 overall and 4-6 in the Big 12 Conference) was one of the last seven unbeaten teams in the country when it started the season 12-0. There was a reasonable explanation for that start, too. The Bears played teams like Arkansas-Pine Bluff, Hardin Simmons, St. Edwards and Montana during that stretch before Texas Tech gave them the first of six blemishes in their last nine games.
The weak scheduling was part of coach Dave Bliss' plan to bring confidence and a winning feeling to a team that has been a Big 12 doormat since the conference's inception in 1996.
"They got off to a great start this year,"
Williams said. "Once you get in league play it's hard, though. Dave's a heck of a coach and they're going to get better and better and they're going to move up and up in the standings."
The Bears are inching forward and occupy seventh place in the Big 12. Terry Black's 16 point, 8.6 rebound average and DeMarcus Minor's 13.9 points are a major reason why Baylor is close to breaking into the conference's upper half.
In the absence of Gooden, the Kansas starters will most likely see extended minutes again. Senior center Eric Chenowith played 37 minutes in Saturday's 77-61 win against Oklahoma State.
Kansas' task of maintaining pace with No. 12 Iowa State, which has the conference lead, will be more difficult because the Jayhawks' second-leading scorer, sophomore forward Drew Gooden, will be sidelined tonight with a sprained right wrist. Adding to the difficulty is that Kansas will play in front of the biggest crowd Baylor has had all season. Two years ago, the Jayhawks barely escaped Waco with a 66-62 win.
"Baylor's tough at home," said Kansas point guard Kirk Hinrich. "We can't afford to slip up."
Chenwhom may once again prove to be the determining factor, as he was against the Cowboys when he played one of his best games of the season. His performance, along with sharp shooting by Hinrich and Boschee, will be crucial for a Kansas win.
Kansas reserves also will need to contribute. Juniors Brett Ballard and Jeff Carey saw more time than usual, 11 and 16 minutes apiece, respectively, Saturday because of Gooden's injury and Jeff Boschee's foul trouble.
"With Drew out, there's going to be a void on the bench and there might be an opportunity for me to play some," Ballard said. "It depends on how Jeff and Kirk's legs are."
“It's definitely time to put the whole game together,” Hinrick said. “Every game is huge from here on out. The conference race is really close. We're going to have to be ready to play every night.”

Women fall to Missouri in last minute
By Jessie Meyer sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Senior Jennifer Jackson had just scored her 1,000th point, putting Kansas up by six and quieting the record-setting 10,126 Missouri fans at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Mo.
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Jayhawks had the Tigers right where they wanted them Saturday, with a minute and a half to play in regulation.
But then things came unhinged.
Then it was all Missouri. The Tigers (15-7 overall and 6-5 in the Big 12 Conference) outscored Kansas 11-6 in the extra minutes and stole the game out from under the Jayhawks, 89-84.
Missouri senior Amanda Lassiter dropped a quick bucket that pulled the Tigers to within four, and the Mizzou defense took control. Missouri forced two Kansas turnovers and buried two more baskets in less than a minute to tie the score at 78-78 and send the game Kansas had all wrapped up moments before into overtime.
"We do some crazy things when the game gets tight, and it keeps killing us," senior Jaclyn Johnson said. "We just stopped going to what worked and Missouri was able to capitalize on that. We just played into their hands, taking what they gave us instead of taking what we wanted."
Johnson tallied her sixth double-double of the season, leading the Jayhawks (9-13 and 3-8) with 20 points and 11 rebounds. But it was junior Nikki White who led Kansas down the stretch.
White, who has seen limited playing time because of ankle injuries this season, added a career-high 12 points off the bench, shooting a perfect 6-for-6 from the free throw line in the last six minutes of regulation and three-for-three from the field in overtime. White also tied her career-high rebounds with seven in her 13 minutes of play.
Missouri was 11 for 22 from behind the arc and senior Tracy Franklin led the assault, shooting 5-8 from long range along with 7-for-12 from the field. Franklin led all scorers with 24 points, adding to Lassiter's 22 and 13 apiece from senior Marlena Williams and sophomore Kerensa Barr.
Kansas led for much of the game, partly because of 54.4 percent free throw shooting from the Tigers. But what the Tigers gave up from the charity stripe, they regained with a barrage of three-point baskets.
"It was most definitely one of her best performances so far this season," said coach Marian Washington. "We need to have some people come off the bench to give us quality minutes to spell some of our key players."
Kansas had five players score in double digits and shot 58.2 percent from the field. The Jayhawks shot 76 percent from the free throw line, but committed 25 turnovers — including 16 in the second half — that cost them the game.
"It's just a tough loss for us," Washington said. "I thought we worked hard for most of the ball game. I thought they fought from start to finish, so I am real pleased about their effort."
Johnson became Kansas' eight all-time rebounder with 789, passing Terrilyn Johnson, who grabbed 786 boards from 1969-92.

JAYHAWKS TROUNCE COWBOYS
Chenowith comes alive
— Edited by Doug Pacoy

sports@kansas.com
Kansas sportwriter
After ripping his critics during Wednesday's weekly press conference, Eric Chenowith backed up his talk as No. 5 Kansas beat Oklahoma State 77-61 Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse.
Chenwihot, a senior center who averages 10.1 points and 8.4 rebounds per game, posted his best numbers in a month — 17 points, 12 boards and two blocked shots. He led the Jayhawks (19-3 overall and 8-2 in the Big 12 Conference) to their first win against the Cowbys (14-6 and 5-4) since 1999.
"I said some stupid things this week and I knew I had to come out and have a good game," Chenowith said. "I wanted to do some good things, because if I say some stupid things and then go out and play bad, I look even worse. I still made some big mistakes — an offensive foul and a turnover on the break. I could still do so many things better."
His play was the difference in the game, especially considering that the Jayhawks played without sophomore forward Drew Gooden, who sprained his wrist during last week's win against Texas. Doctors decided to put a cast on Gooden's wrist Saturday morning, which means he will miss at least two more games with the injury.
Chenowith knew he needed to step up. He responded with two powerful first half dunks that were sparked either by diesel fuel or the desire to win the fans' hearts.
"The crowd was awesome," Chenowith said. "They were gracious and supportive, and that just shows they're the best. I said some stupid things this week, and it just goes to show that they love their Kansas basketball."
The fans loved Kirk Hinrich, too. The sophomore point guard did his part in filling the scoring void of Gooden, who averages 15.6 points, by exploding for 20 points to go with his five assists, five rebounds and two blocks. He went three-for-four from behind the arc in the first half as Kansas built a 38-35 halftime lead.
The Jayhawk struggled to score early and trailed 19-14 with 11:30 remaining in the half before Williams turned to key reserves Brett Ballard and Jeff Carey, who provided a boost off the bench. After Hinrich hit back-to-back threes, Ballard drained one of his own that put Kansas ahead 25-24 and sent the fieldhouse into a frenzy.
The second half was all Kansas as the Jayhawks shot 56 percent in the half and held the Cowboys to 30.4 percent shooting from the field. Oklahoma State trimmed the lead to five points before Chenowith hit a 14-foot jumper that ignited a 16-3 run that ultimately buried the Cowboys.
Hinrich also held Cowboys guard Maurice Baker, who averages 20.2 points per game, to 12 points on four-for-14 shooting. Melvin Sanders and Victor Williams led Oklahoma State with 13 points each and Andre Williams blocked five shots.
Hinrich said that the team needed Chenowith to continue being an offensive threat while Gooden is sidelined. He also said he was pleased with the 7-footer's performance.
"He didn't have the best week of practice, and coaches were on him, so it was great for him to respond like that." Hinrich said. "We need him."

As tournament nears, 'Hawks should strive for No.2 seed
And 25 days isn't too early to start what should be the rallying cry for Jayhawk fans from Wamego to Hays — "Go for two."
In 25 days, the Kansas men's basketball team -- after winning the Big 12 Conference Tournament -- will gather around a television at Kemper Arena and find out where it will be seeded in the NCAA Basketball Tournament.
The true cure for the Jayhawks' NCAA blues would be virtual home games for their first two contests. Granted, a date at Kemper Arena wouldn't guarantee one of those elusive Sweet 18 appearances — the Jayhawks lost to Virginia at Kemper in the 1995 tournament — but with Kansas' recent tournament history, it couldn't hurt.
Let's get this straight — we don't want Kansas to be a No.1 seed. Thanks to Iowa State, it looks as if that won't happen. But if the Jayhawks play well enough in their next nine games, they will probably be the No.2 seed in the Midwest region and play the first weekend of the NCAA Tournament at Kemper Arena — exit IB of I-70, also known as Allen Fieldhouse east.
The problem with this "Go For Two" scenario is that the Jayhawks no longer have control of it. Iowa State, thanks to an obsecre shooting performance last Monday night, knocked Kansas out of the driver's seat in the Big 12. The Jayhawks took a step toward regaining control with a 77-61 victory against Oklahoma State on Saturday, but they are still a half game behind the Cyclones in the standings.
Two days after the Iowa State loss, Eric Chenwith blasted the fans for criticizing his play and the Jayhawks learned Saturday morning they would lose Drew Gooden with an injured wrist for at least three games — including the rematch with Iowa State in Ames, Iowa, on Feb. 17.
To make matters worse, the Kansas basketball world seemed to collapse around Roy Williams last week. The Cyclone game exposed Jayhawk weaknesses that were previously transparent. All of a sudden, Kansas had difficulty guarding from the perimeter. Free-throws weren't falling. And Luke Axtell's bad back couldn't even hoist a shot that would hit rim on the game's decisive play.
But just when everything seemed to be wrong going for Kansas, Williams righted the ship. Kansas fans remembered what all the fuss was about last summer when Williams almost left for North Carolina. He pushed Chenowith, who also had a horrible week of practice, to his best performance of the season with 17 points and 12 rebounds. He drew gutsy performances from seldom-used reserves Jeff Carey and Brett Ballard, who combined for eight points and eight rebounds. And at a crossroads of a bizarre season, Williams single-handedly willed his team to its biggest win of the season.
The victory against the Cowboys was vintage Williams, and the 13th-year coach was up to his usual antics. Instead of tossing his jacket into the crowd as he did against Texas last week, Williams politely folded his jacket in fourths and handed it to broadcaster Max Falkenstien. And in the post-game press conference, Williams blasted the media for asking too many questions about Gooden.
"Why do we make announcements?" Williams asked. "Seriously. He doesn't have leprosy."
With the win, Williams tied the not-so-légendary Ted Owens for second place on the all-time Kansas victory list with 348 wins. Even better, his Jayhawks may not lose another game for the rest of the regular season and during the Big 12 Tournament.
That would boost their record to 28-3 hopefully, just bad enough for a second seed.
Go for two. It's the only way to go.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 12). Go after that degree or credential you've wanted; it could lead to the career of your dreams. First, finish something in February, then make the commitment in May. Your new plans interfere with romance in April, but they make life more exciting, too. Practice in May and confer with a child in June. You're pressed for time in July, so put the needs of others first. You achieve success in October, but new problems develop in November. Make a change for the better in December.
To get the advantage, check the day's rating: 10 is the easiest day,
O the most challenging.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6 — Meet with teammates and immediately set an agenda. The pace quickens and the stakes rise as the day goes on. It'll soon be harder to achieve your objective just by asking. To win, use the momentum you've built. Despite what you hear, the check's not in the mail.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 4 — You may feel you're catching too much flak, but this is temporary. Continue to show you know what you're talking about, calm an older person's fears, and have thick skin.
Gemini (May 21-June 21] - Today is a 6 - Don't begin a new study program just yet. You need to learn a few more things first, and you'll learn most of them before Friday.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5 — Postpone making a big investment. Information you're getting, even from a good friend, could be erroneous. Friendship is one thing, but business is another. This isn't the time to ask for a raise or promotion, either.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6 — Your partner or attorney could be having trouble getting your message across. The person you’re trying to convince may come around in due time. Just keep repeating yourself, but do so respectfully.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 4 — A mistake could make a job take longer than you thought possible, and it might not be your mistake. Your system isn't to blame, either. A procedure that worked before should work again, so stick to the old routine, but check the data for garbage.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 7 —
Be careful what you say today, and to whom. A
playful remark could be misunderstood. If you think
someone will be easily upset, you're probably right
Beware and speak softly.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 4 You and your family or roommates could have a disagreement. Explain what you want, because they won't figure it out on their own. Wait a few more days to take action. This project needs more planning first.
P
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6 — You're very smart, but also be thorough. A procedure you're learning won't go as expected. Don't abandon the whole idea. Just study more and be ready to compromise. You may be trying something that can't be done — yet.
LION
2
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 4 — You could be quite successful, but that won't prevent a disagreement about money. A child may want something for nothing. Teach the child to get it on his or her own, because education is the greater gift.
SCORPIO
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5 — You can either worry about something you don't understand, or learn about it. Let confusion be your motivation. Spend the evening studying instead of watching TV.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6 — It's best to put off travel or a friend's visit until closer to the weekend. Something at home needs fixing, so stop procrastinating. Either fix it or get a new one.

Women's team sweeps two; men fall to Indiana
The Kansas women's tennis team swept its two opponents on Saturday during the Jayhawk Classic at Alvamar Racquet Club. Kansas opened its play at the Classic with a 6-0 victory against Louisiana-Monroe before defeating Drake by a 5-1 margin. The
Jayhawks, who are now 3-1 on the season, took on St. Louis in the Classic's final match yesterday afternoon.
Cheryl and Lisa Mallailah, as well as Courtney Steinbock, led the way for the Jayhawks, each earning two singles victories during the afternoon. In the afternoon, the
team went 9-1 in singles action and 6-0 in doubles play. The Kansas men's tennis
team, meanwhile, dropped a decision to No. 24 Indiana. The Jayhawks fell to the Hoosiers, 5-2, in Bloomington, Ind., Saturday afternoon.

Tellingly, NBC finished last among the four major networks in prime time Saturday, one week after
The preliminary overnight rating for Saturday's XFL show was 5.1, meaning an average of 5.1 percent of television homes in the country's largest 49 markets tuned in at any given time. That's
a steep drop from the 10.3 preliminary Nielsen number for last week.
It took just seven days for the XFL to go from vastly exceeding expectations to hovering right around the 4.5 rating NBC promised advertisers.
"We remain a work in progress and our numbers last night are exactly where we said they would be the last six months," said NBC Sports chairman Dick Ebersol.

Griffins win as McSorley fails to control temper
GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. — Old habits die hard.
Ask Marty McSorley, who can't seem to avoid trouble on a hockey rink.
In his first professional game since a one-year suspension by the National Hockey League for slashing an opponent's head with his stick, McSorley was ejected from an International Hockey League game for fighting.
After signing with the Grand Rapids Griffins, McSorley received a five-minute penalty and two game misconducts late in the game against the Utah Grizzlies Saturday night.
McSorley said he jumped in a mellee when he noticed two Grizzlies pummeling a Griffins plaver.
"With a teammate in trouble, with two men on top of him, I had to get in there," he said after the game, which the Griffins won 3-1.
Grand Rapids has the IHL's best record and is the top farm team of the Ottawa Senators, who reportedly are interested in McSorley. He will be eligible to play in the NHL again Feb. 21, one year after he hit Brashear.

U.S. loses Davis cup race with fall to Swiss team
BASEL, Switzerland — The United States is out of the Davis Cup in the opening round for the first time since 1993.
Roger Federer defeated Jan-
Michael Gambil 7-5, 6-2, 4-6, 6-2
yesterday and gave Switzerland an
insurmountable 3-1 lead in the
best-of-five series.
It marked the fifth time the record 31-time champions have been bounced from the opening round of Davis Cup play.
The match was virtually decided in a tense 56-minute first set with Gambili, who was hanging on to stay even with Federer, unable to convert three set points in the critical 10th game.
Each time, Federer responded under pressure and showed the all-court form that gave him his first ATP title a week ago in Miler
Federer, who won his opening singles on Friday and keyed Saturday's doubles win with Lorenzo Manta, broke Gambill twice in the second set as he won. 6-2.
Gambill stayed on serve with Federer in the third set and won in the 10th game, converting his second set point when Federer netted a backhand.
But Federer broke Gambill in the third game of the fourth set and again in the seventh game when Gambill laced a forehand long. Federer served out the last game with a match-winning ace.

Cyclones hold on for win

AMES, Iowa — Martin Rancik returned after rolling his right ankle and scored 23 points, and Jamaal Tinsley had eight of his 18 points in the final 4:17, leading No. 12 Iowa State to a 72-64 victory against Missouri yesterday in Hilton Coliseum.
Missouri (15-8 overall and 6-4 in the Big 12 Conference) fought back from a 10-0 deficit and played gamely in its first appearance without its top two scorers, Kareem Rush and Clarence Gilbert, mainly because of Brian Grawer's three-point shooting.
Rush, the Big 12's leading scorer, is out for the season with a thumb injury and Gilbert has been suspended indefinitely. They have accounted for 49 percent of Missouri's points this season. Gilbert and Rush combined for 75 points when Missouri beat Iowa State 112-109 in four overtures last month. Iowa State (21-3 and 9-2) has won eight straight since then and is ahead of Kansas in the Big 12 standings by a half-game.
Grawer scored 24 points on eight three-pound baskets, one of which came during a 9-0 run that chopped a 13-point Iowa State lead to 60-56 with 4:35 left. That's when Tinsley went to work.
Guarded by Missouri freshman Wesley Stokes, Tinsley drove past him for two baskets, sank four free-throws and fed Rancik for a layup in transition as Iowa State stretched the lead to 72-61. That was more than enough to withstand a final three-pointer by Grawer.
Rickey Paulding scored 15 points for Missouri and Stokes had 12 points, sx
rebounds and five assists. Jake Sullivan scored 13 for Iowa State, which has won 33 straight at home.
Iowa State jumped to a 10-0 lead as Missouri failed to score on its first five possessions. Grawer hit three straight three-pointers and triggered a 20-4 run that pulled the Tigers into a 28-23 lead. Grawer capped the burst with a fourth three-pointer.
Then it was Iowa State's turn. As Missouri went scoreless for almost six minutes, Tinsley hit a three-pointer and four free throws in a 10-0 run that sent the Cyclones back into the lead at 33-28. They led the rest of the way.
Iowa State got a scare when Rancik rolled his ankle and hopped off the floor holding his right foot up with 12:46 left in the half. He returned nine minutes later and showed no ill effects from the injury, making nine-of-15 shots and grabbing five rebounds.

Oklahoma whips Texas, ends 'Horns' home streak
Texas must be growing weary of being embarrassed by Oklahoma.
The No. 21 Sooners romped and stomped in a 75-4 victory against the Longhorns Saturday in Austin, Texas.
"I'm proud of our guys," coach Kelvin Sampson said. "Good win for Oklahoma."
In some ways, it was worse than the seven-touchdown rout the Oklahoma football team put on the Longhorns in October. Saturday's game brought a screeching halt to Texas' 25-game home winning streak at the Erwin Center.
Nolan Johnson led the Sooners with 23 points and nine rebounds, and J.R. Raymond hit five of six three pointers, totaling 19 points.
Saturday's massacre in Austin marked the first time in Sampson's seven years as coach that the Sooners have won seven-consecutive conference games.
"We definitely got beat every way you can break it down," said Coach Rick Barnes.
Elsewhere in the Big 12 Conference this weekend, Baylor beat Nebraska 69-58, Colorado handed Kansas State its sixth-straight loss with a 70-63 verdict in Manhattan, and Texas A&M got the better of Tech. Tech 72-70.
KState has now lost six in a row. The Wildcats are tied with Texas Tech and Texas A&M at the bottom of the rankings with two conference wins each.
"Nothing worked," said K-State coach Jim Wooldridge. "We got off to a slow start on both ends of the floor to begin the ball game."
Nebraska lost despite having two players score career-highs. Brian Conklin had a game-high 18 points, including five three-pointers, while John Robinson had 12 points.
At Lubbock, Texas, the Aggies and Red Raiders experienced a vivid reminder of last year when A&M won 88-66 on a highly controversial basket at the buzzer by Andy Leatherman. This time, the Aggies secured victory on a free throw by Jamaal Glichrist.

Bench players step up
Ballard, Carey see playing time rise in Saturday's win
KF
Kansas sophomore forward Drew Gooden watched from the sidelines as his teammates battled the Oklahoma State Cowboys Saturday. A wrist injury from a fall last week did not heal quickly enough, so doctors put Gooden's wrist in a cast. He will miss at least the two of the team's upcoming games.

The Kansas bench will be seeing some valuable minutes with sophomore forward Drew Gooden out of action for Saturday's game and this week's games against Bavlor and Iowa State.
Junior forward Jeff Carey, who is averaging just seven-and-a-half minutes on the season, had his minutes more than double to 16 in Kansas' 77-61 win against Oklahoma State on Saturday — and he made those minutes count.
Although scoring only two points, he pulled down five boards, dished out two assists and had a block.
Just hours before tip-off, Gooden joined the rest of the 'Hawks for their pregame rituals, but there was something different. With most of his teammates thinking his wrist injury was not serious, doctors decided to take no chances and fitted his right wrist with a cast.
"That kind of shocked me, because I thought the worst was over," Carey said. "At that moment, I just knew I was going to play a lot. Before the games sometimes, I don't know how much I'm going to play, but I'm always thinking that if I get in, I'm going to play hard."
Carey's biggest contribution appeared to be on the defensive end. For a good portion of his minutes, Carey was matched up with Cowboys center Fredrik Jonzen, who is averaging 15 points and is hitting better than 50 percent of his shots. Jonzen scored 11 points in 39 minutes.
"I think Jeff Carey and Nick Collison really did some nice things on Jonzen because I think Fredrik is a heck of a player too," said Kansas coach Roy Williams.
Also seeing additional playing time was junior guard Brett Ballard, who was just fractions of an inch away from drilling all three shots he took. Instead, he
scored six points on 2-for-3 shooting from behind the three-point arch.
"He does have an ability to hit the shot," Williams said. "When he goes out there, he gives everything he has, and you love youngsters like that."
Ballard was averaging only three minutes but saw his time on the court more than triple. Adding two assists and steals to three rebounds doubled almost every statistical category for Ballard, who had just two steals, three assists and one rebound all season.
"I know I didn't play a perfect game by any means." Ballard said. "We have a little bit of a void on the bench. Hopefully I'll get to play some, but like I said, as long as we keep winning, then everything is fine with me."

CBS rebuts charges it hushed Letterman
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — David Letterman is doing what all good talk show hosts do from time to time — ruffling a few feathers.
The New York Post reported Friday that a Letterman Top 10 list that poked fun at his network was scrapped this week. The list referred to a lawsuit filed by a former Survivor participant who claimed the reality show was rigged.
The initial taping of Letterman's show on Tuesday featured a comedic list of the Top 10 reasons to sue CBS. After the taping was concluded, however, Letterman asked the audience to stay as a substitute list was filmed regarding Jennifer Lonez.
The Post quoted an actress attending the taping, Paulette Osborne, as saying Letterman seemed "very upset" that the CBS list wasn't used.
This week, the trade publication Mediaweek reported, using anonymous sources, that Dr Pepper was given a 30-second spot during the Super Bowl either for free or at a deep discount.
Letterman's joke poked fun at Dr Pepper as being foul-tasting. He repeatedly said afterward that he was only joking.
CBS spokeswoman Rosemary Keenan said no pressure was applied to Letterman, and that the talk show host and his producers decided on the change themselves.
"It didn't get a good reaction from the audience and they felt it wasn't funny enough," she said.
After a representative of Dr Pepper complained, CBS agreed not to rerun the Dec. 20 episode.
Letterman's long history of mocking the networks that air him, first NBC and now CBS, would seem to indicate that he doesn't get pushed around. Keenan said the only time CBS waves a red flag on Letterman's material is if it appears to be libelous.
Meanwhile, a Letterman joke in December at the expense of Dr Pepper wasn't deemed too funny by the company that makes the soft drink, a CBS advertiser.
CBS would not comment Friday on its relationship with Dr Pepper. A network executive, speaking on the condition of anonymity, denied that the company received a Super Bowl discount.

Records shattered in loss at Missouri
COLUMBIA, Mo. — The Missouri women's basketball team went into its game against Kansas Saturday at the Hearnes Center intent on breaking a record.

The Tigers wanted to surpass their home attendance record, using a promotion called "Head to the Hearnes" to attract fans. The plan worked; a record crowd of 10,126 people watched Kansas squander a nine-point second-half lead and lose to Missouri 89-84 in overtime.
But it wasn't the only record broken during the game. Records fell like rain in a game that was as physical and intense as it was close.
Senior Tracy Franklin set a new career high with 24 points, including five three-pointers. Senior Kerensa Barr scored a career-high 13 points. And the Tigers broke their record for three-pointers made in a game with 11.
Even the Jayhawks got in on the record-breaking. Senior Jennifer Jackson scored 12 points to become the third Kansas player to reach the 1,000-point milestone this season.
Missouri coach Cindy Stein said beating Kansas in front of such a large crowd made the victory all the more gratifying.
Missouri (15-7 overall and 6-5 in the Big 12 Conference) probably wouldn't have topped the 'Hawks without Franklin's hot shooting. The 5-foot 10 guard led all scorers with 24 points and kept the Tigers in the game during the second half when senior Amanda Lassiter, the team's leading scorer, was on the bench with foul trouble. Lassiter was forced to miss nearly nine minutes after picking up her fourth foul with 12:43 remaining in the second half.
"It was a memorable win in the fact that we were able to do it in front of 10,000 people," Stein said. "I also think it is extremely special any time we can beat KU."
But Missouri didn't miss a beat
during her absence thanks to Franklin and freshman Evan Unrau, who scored seven of her nine points while Lassiter was on the bench in the second half.
It was a breakout game for Franklin, whose previous career-best was 18 points against Eastern Illinois back in November.
Even with Franklin's barrage of three-pointers, Missouri had problems matching up with the Jayhawks. Kansas (9-13 and 3-8) shot 58.2 percent from the field and 19-of-25 from the free-throw line. Missouri, which trailed throughout most of the game, shot 49.3 percent and struggled from the line, hitting just 12-of-22.
But it was Lassiter who put the Tigers over the hump late in the second half. Lassiter, who is averaging 19.8 points per game, scored nine points in the final four minutes of regulation and in overtime to lead
"Tracy's been stepping it up," Stein said. "We see this kind of Tracy every day in practice."

Baseball team clinches three weekend victories
By Ryan Malashock sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Fueled by an inexperienced pitching staff that drew concerns throughout the preseason, the Kansas baseball team opened its season this weekend with three consecutive victories at the Round Rock Express College Classic championship.
By claiming victories against Texas Christian, Southwest Texas State and Charlotte, Kansas sprinted out to only its second 3-0 start since 1987.
Kansas clinched the championship Sunday with a 5-2 victory against Charlotte. Junior Jake Wright, making his first career start at Kansas, picked up the win by throwing seven
"I felt that was a definite turn-around point in the game," Spanish said. "We weren't executing as well as we had in the first two games, but we played well from there on."
"We did a lot of nice things," Randall said. "We stole some bases, got some solid base hits and played pretty good baseball overall."
Kansas scored single runs in both the seventh and eighth innings before junior Doug Lantz shut down the 49ers in the ninth inning for his second save of the season.

Coach Bobby Randall was impressed by Kansas' execution against the Horned Frogs.
Jayhawks second baseman Casey Spanish changed the momentum of the game with one swing of the bat. Following a Jason Appuhn walk and a John Nelson single, Spanish connected on the three-run home run to put the Jayhawks ahead 3-2.
Spanish said the pace of Sunday's game definitely changed after his blast.
Kansas' season began on Friday with a 7-3 defeat of Texas Christian. Senior Pete Smart recorded the first win of the season, pitching 6 2/3 shutout innings and making seven strikeouts. Lantz closed the door on Texas Christian in his first career Kansas appearance by throwing 2 1/3 innings and earning his first save. Nelson, senior Doug Dreher, and junior Justin Davis each had two hits aniece for the Javahaws.
"Last night, I was pretty jittery," Wright said. "But today, I was actually calm. I got off to a great start, and I think that's important. The key for me today was that I kept the ball low in the zone and kept attacking the hitters."

John McGee, his jaw wired shut from surgery, spoke yesterday afternoon to a crowd of more than 300 people who gathered to remember his wife, KU student Shyra McGee.
The Wichita senior, set to graduate in May, died Feb. 4 in a two-car collision at the intersection of Sixth Street and Monterey Way.
John McGee explained some of the events that preceded the crash to those gathered. He said Shyra wanted to drive to Hy-Vee after they had watched The *Sopranos*. Laughter filled Woodruff Auditorium when he quoted Shyra as having said, "There are bargains to be had."
These hardships will be tough for Kim Schaul was among those who laughed and cried with family and friends. Schaul, a Lawrence resident and KU graduate, met McGee living in the residence halls and then worked with her for two years at the front desk of Templin Hall. She said she attended the service to honor a remarkable person.
"It didn't matter what mood you were in — no one was better at putting a smile on your face than Shyra," Schaul said.
Nearly all of the nine speakers at the memorial mentioned McGee's smile. Among them were McGee's husband, John, and Amber Sellers, Wichita sophomore, who were both injured in the collision.
John said the University was important to Shyra, who he said gave the "stipulation" before they married that she would finish school here.
Shyra founded the KU chapters of Sigma Gamma Rho sorority and the National Council of Negro Women, and last year received The Outstanding Woman. Student in Leadership Award.
Her husband told people to smile despite the loss of a vibrant student because "she's gone home."
Sellers, Shyra's fellow sorority member, approached the lectern wearing a sling and using a walking crutch. Sellers cited the
anonymous poem inside the service's program, naming Shyra among those who "leave footprints on our hearts." She encouraged people to pass on Shyra's selfless acts of kindness.
Ann Curry, who worked with Shyra as a resident assistant at Stouffer Place, also focused on her rapport with people.
"Her academic degree might have been in English, but her eternal degree is in humankind," Curry said.
Tyrone Seymour, Lawrence junior, said Shyra "lived life to make a difference." Responding to the information that the
driver of the other car in the collision might have been drunk, Seymour challenged the crowd to make a difference and "stop just one person" from driving after drinking. A police investigation has not yet determined if alcohol was involved in the accident.
The audience listened to "Open My Heart," by Yolanda Adams, and bowed their heads in prayer with Pastor Rene Brown of Ninth Street Baptist Church, where McGee was a member.
Counseling and Psychological Services representatives were on hand to help anyone struggling with McGee's death.
As members of the crowd left the auditorium, they hovered around a table covered with pictures of McGee, one of her sorority T-shirts and a box labeled "Shyra Monet McGee Memorial Fund Donations." Also on display was a large envelope filled with cards made by children of the Good News Club, with which McGee was involved.
One card was made of blue and green construction paper and covered with smileyface stickers.
"Dear Shyra," it read, "I am so glad your up with god and having fun."

Court rules Napster must close
By J. R. Mendoza editor@kansan.com Kansan wiki editor
Napster must stop allowing the millions of music fans who use its free Internet-based service to share copyrighted material, a federal appeals court ruled yesterday in San Francisco.
The three-judge panel allowed Napster to remain in business but told a lower court judge to rewrite her injunction that ordered Napster to shut down, pending a trial in a lawsuit filed by the recording industry.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals also said Napster must lock out those users who exchange copyrighted songs without permission.
The appellate court had earlier issued a stay of the injunction.
"This is a clear victory," said Hilary Rosen, president and CEO of the Recording Industry Association of America. "The court of appeals found that the injunction is not only warranted but required. And it ruled in our favor on every legal issue presented."
Sarah Zaragoza, Leawood sophomore, said that she used Napster once a week to download a variety of songs and that the ruling disappointed her.
However, she said she wouldn't go out and buy CDs instead just because it had to shut down.
"I can see the point why people would want to shut it down," Zaragoza said. "It's kind of the same as videos because you can get them and copy them."
Jennifer Nollitt, Overland Park sophomore, said she had been following the Napster controversy and also understood the ruling. She下载ed three to four songs a week from Napster.
"It was good while it lasted," Noblitt said.
Noblitt said she would still go and

Group salutes Darwin

Kansas Citizens for Science, an organization that gathers students, educators and scientists against the current science standards in Kansas, organized a birthday party for Darwin, the creator of evolution theory. Evolution is currently de-emphasized in the curriculum of the state's public schools.
Kansas will likely welcome Charles Darwin back to the school curriculum when the Kansas State Board of Education meets tomorrow, but KU students got to see him on campus yesterday.
Easterday marked Darwin's 192nd birthday and the unveiling of the human genome map, which is considered to be a scientific landmark.

Speaking as Darwin. Willis recounted the scien-
He remarked that when the standards were changed in 1999, the change got international coverage. Willis said he wished the event would help to change the image of Kansas abroad.
Macroevolution, which holds that man is descended from earlier species, was deleted from the state's science curriculum by the Kansas State Board of Education by a 6-4 vote in August 1999. References to microevolution, or change within species, were left intact.
Willis said that it was important to draw attention to the fact that the science standards would be changed. "We are going to a new stage." Willis said.
The balance of power in the board of education shifted toward emphasis on evolution in last November's election. Republican newcomers Sue Gamble of the Kansas City area, District 2, and Carol Rupe of Wichita, District 8, will replace Linda Holloway and

Gay marriage draws support
No state allows same-sex couples to marry now, but the queer community has made progress on this issue in Vermont. That state passed a law last summer that recognized "civil unions," granting the same rights and responsibilities that married couples have to same-sex couples.

It was against the backdrop of Rowland's dilemma, shared by many others in the queer community, that Queers and Allies had a petition drive yesterday during the fourth annual National Freedom to Marry Day.
Queers and Allies member Jeremy Wolff, Derby
Buck Rowland would like nothing better than to marry his partner of 13 years.
But there's one obstacle standing in the Wichita graduate student's way. Legally, he's not allowed to because he's gay.
Fifty-eight people signed the National Freedom to Marry Coalition's resolution, which will be sent to the Lambda Legal Defense and Education Fund for lobbying and civil rights purposes.
senior, spearheaded the petition drive and said he hoped the resolution would allow Lambda to "approach lawmakers and show them the grassroots efforts on this issue."
While Wolff said he would be satisfied with any future civil union legislation, he said he understood the desires of the more religious members in the queer community who want full-fledged same-sex marriages to be legalized.
"I'm an atheist, so marriage as an institution means nothing to me," Wolff said.
A self-described "traditionalist," Lang said he believed God intended marriage to be between a man and a woman only.
Tim Lang, Topeka junior, said his perspective was at the opposite end of the spectrum.
"Marriage is a huge commitment, a huge union, a contract," he said. "I don't believe same-sex couples have the right to unite under marriage."
Rowland disagreed with that viewpoint.
"I don't understand why people are trying to protect marriage when half of heterosexual marriages end in divorce," he said.

City crews work to repair potholes
Lawrence drivers dodged potholes all through town during the weekend until enough snow was cleared so that the Lawrence Public Works Department could begin fixing the holes yesterday.
Campus traffic was temporarily stopped near 15th Street and Engel Road yesterday afternoon as city street crews filled gigantic potholes that Friday's foul weather caused.
Kansan staff writer
Bryce Campbell, Lawrence public works street supervisor, said 24 workers in three crews filled large potholes on busy streets such as Iowa Street, Clinton Parkway, Sixth Street and Kasold Drive.
Many KU students who live in residence halls said they believed Daisy Hill deserved more attention.
Paula Peggi, Richardson, Texas, freshman, usually catches rides from a friend to get around town, but her friend has had two flat tires this winter, partially as a result of parking lot conditions.
"Being outside, changing flat tresses — not my idea of a good time," Paggi said. "Cars splash through all the potholes and send mud and slush everywhere. I'm from Texas. This is new to me. I was actually asking around, 'Is it supposed to be like this?' "
Recent snowstorms left Engel Road with huge potholes outside Hashinger Hall. However, there is some confusion about whether Lawrence public works or the University is responsible for its repairs.
Campbell said the public works department spent time repairing the 15th Street and Engel Road intersection because it was in its jurisdiction. But Campbell said he was still unclear where public works maintenance ended and University maintenance began.
Campbell said that, if in fact Daisy Hill is in the city's jurisdiction, theotholes would likely be patched within a week.
Campbell said Lawrence public works was responsible for about 200 or 300 feet beyond the 15th Street and Engel Road intersection — which includes Daisy Hill.
Crew member John Barnes said unusually large pothes were caused by the salt and sand the public works department dumped on streets to dissolve ice.
"The salt on the ground eats away at the concrete." Barnes said. "Then moisture and sand get under the asphalt with the salt. The salt freezes and it actually pops."
When it pops, Barnes said, the concrete separates and a pot hole is formed. Cars traveling across that patch of ground will slowly expand the hole.
Campbell said remaining sleet might affect the quality of pothole fillings.
"Sometimes water seeps into the fillings before they solidify, so the fillings punch out," Campbell said.

Business slow after Hutchinson explosions
HUTCHINSON, Kan. — Some of Hutchinson's downtown merchants are struggling to regain their business footing after last month's gas explosions.
"I've tried to remain positive," said Doug Fisher, owner of The Tiffany House Restaurant, but "it has hurt
drastically."
Before the blast, the restaurant saw 120 diners every day. Now it's around 50.
We've had groups cancel, that won't come to Hutchinson," Fisher said.
Downtown Development Director Jim Seitnater said restaurants and antiques stores were among those hit by a drop in business because they relied on out-of-town patrons.
The Jan. 17 explosion and fire destroyed two downtown stores and forced authorities to barricade streets in the area. A separate explosion at a mobile home park killed two people.
Jim's Family Barber Shop downtown was among those that closed while the area was off-limits.
Owner Jim Mullins was able to get back in his shop three days later. But even though the street has been reopened for weeks, business is still slow, and he's not sure why.
"I will ask them when they come back in, if they do come back in," Mullins said. "A lot of them are real good friends of mine. I don't know if they just didn't want to come downtown."

NEAR becomes first object to land on asteroid
COLUMBIA, Md. — The NEAR spacecraft touched down on the barren, rocky surface of Eros, successfully completing history's first landing on an asteroid.
NEAR's landing at about 2:05 p.m. yesterday was confirmed when Mission Control received a beacon signal from the craft resting on the surface of Eros, some 196 million miles from Earth.
"I am happy to report that the NEAR has touched down," said Robert Farquhar, mission director. "We are still getting signals. It is still transmitting from the surface."
Engineers watching from monitors from Mission Control broke into applause at confirmation of history's first landing of a manmade object on an asteroid. The mission, controlled by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory, also was the first into deep space operated by a non-NASA center.
NEAR flawlessly performed five rocket firings, starting yesterday morning, to drop it out of a 15-mile orbit of Eros and slow it toward the surface. Early indications are that Mission control completed its plan to guide NEAR to a feather-like touchdown by slowing its velocity, relative to the surface of the asteroid, to about the speed of a fast walk, 3 to 5 miles an hour.
City dismisses charges against WTO protesters
during a World Trade Organization protest in November after it was disclosed that three labor leaders may have been given preferential treatment while in custody.
SEATTLE — The city is dismissing charges against 77 people arrested
City Attorney Mark H. Sidran said Friday he lacked evidence to pursue the misdemeanor charges of pedestrian interference and failure to disperse.
He said that while it was clear several people illegally blocked streets and ignored police orders during the Nov. 30 demonstration, proving "individual identifiable defendants" guilty was another matter.
more than 100 people were arrested during the protest. A few cases had been resolved earlier. Twenty-three cases will go forward, Sidran said.
He said the decision to drop the charges was not influenced by an Associated Press story Friday reporting that Mayor Paul Schell had intervened in the cases of officials with the King County Labor Council, Seattle Union Now and the Washington State Labor Council.
The three were arrested but were released and never charged, even though they said they were as involved in the protest as the others arrested.

Palestinian aggression mounts against Sharon
DHEISEH REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank — Palestinian gunmen yesterday threatened to step up violence to wreck Israeli Prime Minister-elect Ariel Sharon's promises of security. Israeli soldiers killed two Palestinians in what witnesses called unprovoked shootings.
In the Gaza Strip, Palestinians and Israeli troops fought a protracted gun battle that wounded eight Palestinians and left dozens of others overcome by tear gas.
Shooting incidents during the past two days marked an escalation after a relative lull in recent weeks, Sharon has not yet taken office — he is still trying to form a coalition — but his advisers warned that once he was in power, Israel would retaliate more harshly than it had under his predecessor, Ehud Barak.
Coalition negotiations between Sharon's Likud faction and Barak's Labor Party resumed yesterday. The two sides agreed that a joint government would only seek an interim accord with the Palestinians, not a final peace deal.
Likud and Labor are at odds about how specific a coalition agreement should be. Labor wants details, particularly regarding peace negotiations, while Likud wants to make do with a general outline.

Students meet next dean candidate
By Sarah Warren writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Angela Lumpkin wants to bring a little bit of Southern hospitality to the School of Education.
At a meeting with education students, which is part of the interview process for the position as dean, Lumpkin said her Southern heritage was deeply rooted in her background at several Southern universities. She also discussed her views on education and KU at yesterday's meeting at Joseph R. Pearson Hall.
Raised in Marvel, Ark., Lumpkin attended the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville and received a degree in physical education before attending Ohio State University, where she earned a doctorate in sports history.
"I'm a Razorback," Lumpkin said. "I tell people I'll call the hoes if they want me too."
After receiving her doctorate, Lumpkin did something no one expected — she became the women's head basketball coach at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill.
"I tell people I taught Dean Smith everything he knows, but no one believes me," she said.
After a long stint at North Carolina as a coach and professor, Lumpkin accepted an offer to become
the dean of education at the State University of West Georgia.
"I knew coming from physical education that I'd have to go to a smaller school because physical education isn't as highly respected of a background in education," she said. "That's just the way life is."
After resigning in October because of an internal disagreement with her boss, Lumpkin became a professor at the university.
But she said she was ready for a dean position again.
"There's always going to be a split in those two areas because of equipment and usage," Lumpkin said. "The dean has to get an inclusive environment to make up for that geographical split."
The students at the meeting asked Lumpkin about problems within the school. Jamie Giove, Platte City, Mo., senior, asked Lumpkin about the split between the School of Education, located in JRP, and the health, sport and exercise sciences department, located across campus in Robinson Center.
Lumpkin's ideas about the HSES department made her stand out from the other candidates who visited the University, said Nikki Bina, Lincolnville senior and student representative on the search committee.

A man hit a pedestrian with his truck in the Oliver Hall parking lot at 6:55 a.m. Saturday, the KU Public Safety Office said. The driver reported seeing a man cross the street in front of him, but the icy street kept his truck from stopping when he hit the brakes. The man fell to the ground after he was struck and left a large dent in the hood of the truck. He complained of pain in his lower back and left wrist at the scene, but refused medical treatment. The driver was not hurt. Damages to the truck were unknown.
A KU student hit a tree with her car near Engel and Irving Hill roads at 2:55 a.m. Sunday, the KU Public Safety Office said. The driver left the scene, but was later found with the help of witnesses. The driver was cited for leaving the scene, no proof of insurance and unreasonable speed.
A Mazda was damaged in the Lied Center parking at 2.5 p.m. Saturday, the KU Public Safety Office said. The car's damage was estimated at $700.

Regents schools lobby in Topeka
By Brooke Hesler
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Tomorrow all six Kansas Regents schools will join forces as students from each school travel to Topeka to lobby for issues affecting higher education.
Jessica Bankston, Student Legislative Awareness Board director, said she thought lobbying was an effective method for getting things done. When tuition was increased last year, KU student senators lobbied while students from Wichita State University protested. Bankston said he thought the protests hurt the group's credibility.
"I think if students are being ignored, then sure, be more drastic," she said. "But I think you
want the professional approach to be your initial approach."
Bankston, along with Ben Walker, student body president, and 25 other student senators and committee members, will represent the University. There are three issues the students will lobby for.
Bankston said the top priority this year was making Kansas senators and representatives aware of the two-for-one technology fee. For the last three years, students have paid $1 per credit hour. The state doubled that, paying $2 per credit hour. However, Governor Bill Graves' budget proposal didn't include the continuation of the fee. If the Legislature adopts the proposal, the University will lose the state's matching funds
Bankston said the University would suffer greatly if the fee was discontinued.
“It's of the utmost importance,” she said. “Your average senator and average representative aren't going to notice that the fee is missing. They're not going to look at the budget proposal and say, 'Where's the technology fee?' We're trying to make them aware of it because they can't give it back to us if they don't know we've lost it."
John Giampaoli, liberal arts and sciences senator, said he thought the students had a good chance of making senators see things their way.
"It looks like it would be a potential loss of $5.8 million," he said. "It would keep us away from being a school on the cutting edge of technology."
Bankston said the group would also be lobbying for more money to meet the costs of rising utilities.
"That's something that any student can speak to," Bankston said. "It's a very tangible issue."
Student representatives from the schools are also lobbying for the restoration of the base budget. There are two possible methods for calculating the budget of a state agency. The base budget is calculated by the Board of Regents and then submitted to the governor. This was previously the way universities' budgets were calculated.
This year the procedure for calculating the budget changed. The current services budget — the new budget — is calculated by the state's Division of Budget and then inserted in the governor's budget recommendations.
Bankston said the University had lost $6.1 million because of the switch.

Senate elections code up for revision
By Brooke Hesler
writer@kansan.com
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Candidates for the upcoming Student Senate elections likely will be able to chalk their messages on campus sidewalks, but if they violate other regulations, they could face stiffer penalties than in the past.
Every year the elections code is revised. The changes made this year are not final. At 6 p.m. tonight in the Pine Room of the Kansas Union, the commission will hear complaints. If there are none, then the code will become final.
"I think these changes are relatively minor," said Dustin Johnson, Student Senate elections commissioner. "Most of the changes are just clarifications. I don't think there will be any major problems."
Despite changes, the elections commission decided to reserve the right to levy fines on a coalition
for the actions of its members.
"The action might have been carried out by a few members, but the whole coalition might have known about it, and they should be held accountable," Johnson said.
Johnson said the commission wanted to have the power to punish a coalition if a major problem occurred similar to the one last year when four members of the United Students coalition stole approximately 9,000 copies of the University Daily Kansan.
The paper contained the editorial board's endorsement of an opposing coalition and a front page article about Interfraternity Council allegations that then-United Students presidential candidate Ben Walker had attended a fraternity party where unapproved alcohol had been served.
Tanisha Jones, holdover senator, ran with United Students. She said the policy of fining the coalition for the actions of its members was unfair.
"Coalitions are really large," Jones said. "You might have 60 people running on one coalition and then more people who are helping out. It's not fair to blame the whole for the actions of the few or to blame the leaders of the coalition for the actions of a few."
Many of the changes came under the penalties category. Last year, the elections commission could charge a candidate up to $50 for major violations of the code. This year, the commission can charge a candidate up to $100.
Johnson said he and the commission thought the wording of the old code was too vague and contradictory, allowing the commission to assign virtually any penalty it deemed appropriate for a major infraction.
Jones said she supported the decision to raise fines for individual candidates.
"I agree with that," Jones said.
"Individuals have to follow the rules and if they don't, they should be punished."
ELECTION UPDATE
What happened? The Student Senate elections commission released the elections code with several changes and clarifications.
What happened: The Student Senate
What it means: The changes include stiffer lines for candidates who commit major violations of the elections code, and allow candidates to chalk campaign
and allow candidates to churn campaign messages on campus sidewalks.
**What's next?** The commission will have a meeting at 6 p.m. tonight at the Pine Room in the Kansas Union, where it will hear feedback about the new code. If no complaints are heard, the new code will be final.
The commission also decided candidates could write chalk messages on campus, with the only restriction being that on election day, they cannot have campaign paraphernalia of any kind within 100 feet of the polls.

Watkins senior physician receives student award
The Board of Class Officers at the University of Kansas awarded its annual Citation Leadership in Student Services to Randall Rock, a physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
Trisha Harma, president of the board, said Rock exemplified all the qualities necessary for the award.
"Rock was selected because he excelled in student services and showed a commitment to the needs of KU students by contributing to the welfare of students at the University of Kansas," she said.
Rock said he was humbled by the award.
"I feel honored. This award has special meaning since the recognition comes from the students themselves," he said. "This is why we are here, is for the students."
Harma said Rock had gone beyond the call of duty at his job.
I am a graduate of the University of Pennsylvania. I received my Ph.D. from Harvard University in 1978 and then went on to work at the University of Texas Medical Center as a physician. I currently specializes in pediatrics and nephrology.
"Rock has done an amazing job at Watkins and has gone above and beyond and has taken his work outside of Watkins to reach as many people as he can reach to promote health issues," she said.
Carol Seager, student health services administrator, said she was excited about Rock's award.
"Rock is very devoted to the students of KU," she said. "It is definitely reflected in the interest and creativity that he brings to his job. He is always looking for a new and better way to deliver messages and services to the students."
The announcement was made Saturday at the Kansas vs. Oklahoma State basketball game.

body.
Harma said the award had been established by the 1987 senior class to recognize staff members in administration who excelled in student services.
"It is an award which recognizes staff members who commit to the welfare of students at KU," she said.
The nomination process began Jan. 26, when students could nominate a person who worked in student services.
The nominations were then narrowed down to five finalists who were interviewed by the board.
Rock said he was grateful to his family for their support of his career.
"I want to give a special thanks to my family who have been understanding to my commitment to the University and the students," he said. "A significant part of the award is theirs."

Shift in format at KJHK serves student listeners
I am just like you. I am just another nameless face that passes you by on my way to class. I shop at The Gap, love Target — but find Wal-Mart to be the better deal — and love University of Kansas basketball.
Unlike you, I am KJHK's music director.
Shake you, I am KJHK's music director.
A recent Kansan.com poll asked whether readers approved of KJHK's format shift to include more popular music. Out of 2,625 votes, 96 percent said no, that KJHK had compromised its commitment to lesser-known artists.
I don't know how much more I can take of this. First, what is popular? I hope I speak for the majority of students when I say the mainstream market does not appeal to college students any longer. If you are the type who enjoys Britney Spears, N'Sync and the
Backstreet Boys, I commend you for your bravery, but not for your taste in music.
KJHK has been and always will be committed to lesser-known artists. Radio listeners will not find the new Stephen Malkmus or Low albums on any other station in the surrounding area. KJHK always will be your "sound alternative."
YOUNG
your schoolmate.
I am trying, with the help of other students, to give the University the

radio station it deserves. The station has tweaked its format, not done away with it. We have added albums such as the new U2 album, the reissue of George Harrison's All Things Must Pass and the new group featuring Ad-Rock of the Beastie Boys, BS 2000. Those are recognizable artists but ones that KJHK would have played in the past.
KJHK altered its format to make sure you, the students, could hear all these artists. In the past, the new U2 album could have gone an entire day without a single spin. With our new format, the new U2 album will probably play five times in a given day.
This may stifle our long-time listeners who listen to nothing but KJHK,but I think we will be more successful in attracting more students. If you're like me, you are too busy to listen to the station for eight hours a day. Chances are, the average listener will hear the new U2 only once, maybe twice at the most.
This change is to complement some of our longtime listeners' favorite groups. Ever heard of a group called Call & Response? What about Margo Guryan? Drums And Tuba? Ladytron? Mellow? You probably haven't because those artists are unfamiliar to us when we get their CDs. Tune in, and I bet you'll enjoy them.
In the past, those unknown groups and artists may have been all the station played for an entire set, maybe even up to three hours. To me, to many members of the KJHK staff and to students walking to class every morning, that's bad radio.
I'll put this theory in an example. Nirvana's Nevermind (something I think the majority of students attending the University can agree is classic) opened with a song called "Smells Like Teen Spirit."
That song's energy and message spoke to us, it fit our current mood and it was not overly bizarre that it threw people off. If that album's first release had been "Lounge Act," the group would have never broke through the way they did. However, because those songs came later in the album, they became just as infectious as the album's initial hit, if not fan favorites.
That is what KJHK staffers are trying to do.
We want to give you something that makes sense to you as a student. After that initial push, the station hopes you will stay tuned to hear the artists generating waves among music enthusiasts.
A disc jockey's set, in theory, would begin with something such as George Harrison. As a listener, we hope you say to yourself "Man, George Harrison sure had some cool things to say after the Beatles broke up. This is really good." Later in the same set, KJHK will hit you up with the new OF Montreal release, in hope that you will say, "Wow! This is different. I really enjoy this."
Students: This is your station just as much as it is mine. Without you and your support, KJHK wouldn't exist.

Looking for serious advice? It's not here
Thanks to the kind of overwhelming demand that either wins people movie contracts or gets them arrested. Mr. College Answer Person returns to answer your questions.
The University Daily Kansan would like to remind its readers that Mr. College Answer Person is generally kept under sedation in a padded room, so his advice may have little basis in reality. His lack of an actual name is disturbing too, but outside of the Kansan's concerns at the moment. The paper's staff is assiduously preparing an exposé on hair spray and can't be disturbed.
With all that in mind, let's get started!
Dear Mr. College Answer Person: Speaking
in front of large groups of people makes me nervous. My palms sweat, I shake and I babble like a lunatic. How can I overcome this problem?
Imagining your audience naked works for some, but Mr. College Answer Person finds that far too traumatic. He prefers to shed his own clothes and the "Answer Person Exotic Dance" to calm his nerves. Although audiences sometimes are disgusted, he's also occasionally received very interesting proposals after he's finished the speech.
P
Making the box ready hard might fix it. Mr. College Answer Person has little experience with technology, except for his brief stint as president of Apple Computers in the late '90s. And because of his excess drinking during that time, he really doesn't remember much of what he did, except inventing the annoying little round iMac mouse.

Dear Mr. College Answer Person: My computer doesn't work. How can I fix it?
Dear Mr. College Answer Person: I want to start a band. I can't play any musical instruments, however. What instrument should I learn?
The bagpipes. They always sound freakishly out-of-tune anyway, so who could tell if you played them incorrectly? If you want a more modern instrument, Mr. College Answer Person recommends the bass guitar, which is so simple it can actually be played by some lower forms of plant life.
Mr. College Answer Person knows that some musicians will disagree with this assessment, citing such musically-gifted bass players as John Entwistle of the Who, Paul McCartney of the Beatles or John Paul Jones of Led Zeppelin. He also knows those people really need to find a hobby.
Mr. College Answer Person gives nothing but serious and insightful comments. Why, every syllable typed by his magic fingers contains poetry and depth nonpareil. Not to mention how his propinquitously worded phrasing can help build your vocabulary!
Dear Mr. College Answer Person: I come to the opinion page every day to read serious and insightful comments about society. Why are you on it?

This sweetie is special to him, but thanks to certain court orders and county regulations, the name, identity and even gender of said sweetie can't be revealed.

Editorial
Senators should use excess cash
Money left over from the student activity fee should not sit stagnant.
Student Senate's reserve account contains about $428,000 — money originally intended to go to student organizations. After years of bickering, senators finally established guidelines by which the money could be spent. The time to spend it is now.
When a student enrolls at the University of Kansas, in addition to paying for tuition, room, board and books, that student must pay a $17 fee that supports student organizations on campus. But not all of that money gets used, so Senate stashes it in a state bank account. There, it earns interest, which the state — not students — collects.
Although Senate could do many things with the money, it hasn't done anything substantial with the funds. Senate created the Reserve Account Task Force to figure out how to use the money.
It is a wonder that students' money has sat stagnant for so long.
The task force is polling students to decide how to use the money. The task force, however, needs to poll more aggressively.
The task force has set a goal of spending a significant amount of the money by May 2001. Before that, Senate must have some concrete ideas about what students want. Some senators have proposed worthy ideas, but they remain just ideas.
The money should be spent on something that benefits as many students as possible, not just a select few. New bus shelters, information kiosks and a youth hostel are just some of the possibilities.
Senate shouldn't be shy about doing something with this money. The only time it has used any of it was in 1994, when it spent $150,000 to ensure KU on Wheels could continue to operate.
In case of a similar situation,
Senate should leave a similar
amount untouched. But that leaves
more than $250,000 that could go to
great use.
A penny saved may be a penny earned, but Senate has a lot of extra pennies. It's time students got something tangible for their money.

Abrasive and messy, the powder, called Borax and distributed by the Dial Company, coats the sinks of many bathrooms on campus and has become a cause of annoyance for some at the University of Kansas.
Paul Bowlin, St. Paul, Minn., sophomore, said that he would rather avoid the stuff if at all possible.
"I don't think it's a very high-quality soap," he said. "It doesn't make your hands very clean."
Bowlin said he had never heard of powdered soap before he went into a University bathroom as a freshman.
I never seen stuff like that before I came here," he said.
"The first time I used it I thought that the machine was broken and that the stuff was really old or something, so I went to a new machine, but that's how it was supposed to be."
Megan Buker, Leavenworth sophomore, said she was not sure the soap did its job.
"It's hard to use, and I don't think it's getting my hands clean," she said.
Lorene Damewood, assistant director for housekeeping, said that a few key factors played
into whether a campus building had powdered or liquid soap.
She said that soap dispensers differed depending on a building's age and what the faculty in each building preferred.
"It used to be that all soap was powder, and it was called pink luron." Damewood said. "When they renovate a building, they may change the soap and towel dispensers. Also, the people in charge of a building are those who are in charge of what goes in each building."
She said that contracts determined what supplies the University had available.
"We don't have a choice," Damewood said. "It's not like we can go to the grocery store and buy it."
Each building, depending on the type of dispensers, can have three options for soap, she said.
The University has contracts for two types of lotion soap, a product called Gentle Lotion Hand soap and a product that is produced at the state penitentiary by Kansas Correctional Industries.
Damewood said that while there were three options, powder was still used in most of the buildings.
Bowlin said that annoyed him. "Most of the bathrooms I've been in have the powder," he said. "I much prefer lotion soap. You can work up a lather and that makes you feel cleaner. The powder just seems to wash off and not do anything, but it's tolerable."
Many KU students find the powdered soap, which is found in most University bathrooms, annoying. Lorene Damewood, assistant director for housekeeping, said that the type of soap in each building depended on the building's age and what the faculty of the building preferred.

Week to promote sex smoking responsibilities
By Livi Regenboum writer@kansan.com Kansan stuff write
Watkins Memorial Health Center is teaming up with the Emily Taylor Resource Center and the Association of University Residence Halls to sponsor "Protect a Sweetheart Week," to educate students about sexual responsibility and healthy relationships, and "Save A Sweetheart Week," to inform students about the risks surrounding
Throughout the week, information tables will be set up at Wescoe Beach, Wescoe Terrace and the Kansas Union.
"Our goal is to increase people's awareness about sexual health issues because often times those are subjects we don't want to talk about," he said.
ACTIVITIES
Bill Smith, health educator at Watkins, said "Protect A Sweetheart Week" was a way for students to comfortably learn about safe sex.
■ Friday: Information tables: 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at the Union and Wesco Beach
**Thursday:** "Sexual jeopardy" presentation from 7 to 9 p.m. at Hashinor Hall theater
- Tomorrow: Information tables: 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Level 4 in the Kansas Union and 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Wesco Beach
Smith also said an interactive presentation at Hashinger Hall would focus on the relationship between sex and alcohol through activities like "Sexual Jeopardy" and discussion about relationships.
Tyra Babington, coordinator for peer health promotion, said safer sex kits would be distributed at the tables. The kits will include condoms, coupons for $10 off HIV screenings and brochures on sexual health education for students.
Jenny Foster, Shawne Mission junior, said she didn't think distributing information would be very effective.
"Ideally it sounds beneficial, but I don't know whether the info will get to those who would potentially be at risk to spread STDs." she said.
Randall Rock, physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said "Protect A Sweetheart" week celebrated relationships that involve responsibility to ourselves and to others.
Panel: Napster might be liable

Napster can stay in business until U.S. District Judge Marilyn Hall Patel retooks her injunction, which the appellate court's 58-page opinion called overbroad. In fact, minutes after the panel's decision, thousands of Napster users were still trading music files on just one of the company's more than 100 servers.
The panel said Napster might be liable if it did not actively prohibit its users from swapping protected material. Rather than placing the entire burden on Napster,
however, the court said the recording must warn Napster that copyrighted work was on the service before the company was found liable.
The court did not specify what kind of sanctions Napster might face.
In a statement, Napster said that it was disappointed by the ruling and that it would appeal.
The judges said it was apparent that "Napster has knowledge, both actual and constructive, of direct infringement," adding that the recording industry would likely prevail in its suit against the fileswapping service.
Napster argued that it was
not to blame for its subscribers' use of copyrighted material, citing the Sony Betamax decision of 1984, in which the U.S. Supreme Court refused to hold VCR manufacturers and videotape retailers liable for people copying movies.
Fearing an immediate shutdown of the service that has changed the face of music, millions of users flooded the company's computer servers this weekend to download free music. Napster has an estimated 50 million users.

Some want board's position to evolve
Continued from page 1A
Mary Douglass Brown, who supported the current standards and were defeated in the August Republican primaries.
Incumbents Bill Wagon, a Topea Democrat from District 4, and Bruce Wyatt, a Salina Republican from District 6, successfully defended their seats.
Both have promised that the board would change the current standards.
Incumbent Steve Abrams, a Republican, was also re-elected. He defended the current science standards throughout his campaign.

affiliated to the School of Education, said there was a need for good science standards.
He said the current standards were hurting students in several ways, including their potential chances of getting admitted to colleges and being accepted for jobs.
'The standards have been damaging students 'ability to compete,' Case said.
Nathan Kolarik, Bellevue, Neb., graduate student, said he went to Darwin's birthday party because he thought the scientist was a great intellectual and historical figure.
Kolarik also said that evolution needed to be taught.
Christopher Bowman, Leavenworth freshman, said he thought the celebration was interesting.
"It doesn't help to teach that evolution is less than creationism." he said.
"It gave me an idea for a paper I have to write," Bowman said. "I'm going to write about evolution."

Suzanne Schlotzhauer,
Leawood freshman,
won't admit to having
too many passions, save
a love for cappuccino
and a quirky infatuation
for NBC's daytime soap
opera *Passions*.
Passions, which airs at 1 p.m. weekdays on NBC, has gained quite a following in its second year on the air, marked by NBC's deal with HarperCollins to produce a book written by a character on the show — Tabitha the witch.
Latif probably won't have to wait very long to get her shot at reading Tabitha's secrets. Schlotzhauer received the book last Thursday from Latif and is
Hidden Passions:
Secrets From the Diaries of Tabitha Lenox, hit the shelves of bookstores Jan. 23, using a plot line involving Tabitha's fictional diary publication on the show. In just two weeks, the book has shot to No. 5 on the New York Times bestseller list for hardcover fiction.
Now, fans of the show in Lawrence are plunking down $25 for the hardcover tell-all at local bookstores such as Borders Books, Music
and Cafe, 700 New Hampshire, to learn secrets not revealed in the show.
Asma Latif, Leawood freshman and Schlotzhauser's best friend, is also a Passions addict. She special-ordered the book as a gift for Schlotzhauser from Hastings Books, Music and Video, 1900 W. 23rd St.
"I think it's a good promotional idea for the show," Latif said. "I didn't get one for myself, but I'll probably borrow it when she's done."
more than half-way through the 338-page book.
"The book actually talks about *Passions* before it was on the air," Schlotzhauer said. "It hints at secrets and gives some away. It also shows how devious Tabitha is because she causes all these bad things to happen."
Although Schlotzhauer owns the Passions book and watches the show daily, she maintained that she didn't take the show as seriously as it might seem.
"I don't have my schedule planned around it," Schlotzhauer said. "In fact, I miss it every day, but I tape it and watch it when I get home in the evenings."
And when she and Latif sit down with a few friends for "Passions parties" some nights, she said they didn't watch it for a dose of daily drama.
"I watch it because it's so amusing." Schlotzhauser said. "The best thing to do is not to really make fun of it, but laugh at
how ridiculous it is."
Ridiculous in a silly sense, she said, not as in the twists and turns of the plot.

"There's witches and people being pulled into hell and a doll that comes to life." Schlotzhauer said. "So, if that's not crazy I don't know what is."
Some phone cards are scams
By Amanda Beglin
By Amanda Beginl writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
For some KU students, a calling card is the best way to phone home. But students are finding that some promises of long distance bargains don't ring true.
Buying a phone card from a machine may not be the best way to spend those coveted college dollars, according to some out-of-state students.
Advertised low per-minute rates dupe some students into buying phone cards that never work from machines on campus.
Jeremy Bennett, Kansas City, Kan., senior, said he had bought one of those cards because he wanted a cheap way to talk to his girlfriend in Kansas City.
"It's ridiculous. She lives 45 minutes away, and it gets expensive to call her," Bennett said. "And I can't call her from work, so I had to depend on phone cards."
But his card never worked. When he tried using the card to make his first phone call, a computerized message told him he had used all his minutes — before Bennett had entered his pin number.
"I called the customer service line, and they told me the whole card was used a couple weeks ago for calls to Dallas." Bennett said. "There was nothing they could do. That thing cost me $20."
Kansas Attorney General Carla Stovall issued a consumer protection alert last week in response to complaints about faulty calling cards. Some low per-minute calling cards may be too good to be true, she said. She offered the following reasons:
Unfortunately, this is not uncommon.
- Several small phone companies offer low-rate phone cards, but go out of business before customers use all the minutes on their card.
- Cards may have hidden charges that increase low per minute rates when used for more than one phone call. These charges include weekly service fees, taxes, pay phone surcharges and connect fees.
Some low per-minute rates are based on making only one domestic phone call for the total minutes of the card from any phone except a pay phone.
bodyworks downtown massage therapy studio
- Phone cards charge by the minute, not by the second — turning a 20-second call into a one minute charge. And if the card has a three-minute minimum call time, a customer may not be able to use the card for that phone call at all.
- Cards may have expiration dates that allow only two or three months of use.
Stovall suggested buying a prepaid calling card from a large retail store by familiar companies
such as AT&T and Sprint.
Trevor Johnson, Oconomowoc,
Wis., freshman, said he bought
phone cards by the bundle at Sam's
Club, a national members-only
bulk retailer owned by Wal-Mart.
Other KU students offered differ ent suggestions.
"They're only 40 dollars for something like 300 minutes," Johnson said. "I buy them whenever I go home and use them when I get to school."
CampusLink, a nationwide college phone company, allows students to make domestic and international phone calls from their dorm rooms with a 7-digit pin number. However, calls made off-campus carry additional charges.
"It's about 10 cents per minute from my room," Taylor said. "I don't have to call home too often since I'm pretty close, but it doesn't cost much."
Some students, including Taylor, have been using phone cards given to them at high school graduation and Christmas.
"I got an AT&T card for Christmas with 350 minutes on it." Taylor said. "But it's one of those that you can keep adding minutes to. So I just spent $40 to get 1,000 minutes on it. That's only four cents a minute."

Reporting lost, stolen cell phones important
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Wibels, Lincoln, Neb., senior,
said she had lost the phone Saturday
night and had it back by Monday
morning.
But cell phone companies say Wibbles' case is the exception.
When Shelly Wibbels lost her cell phone, she didn't worry about someone making unauthorized calls with it because she knew she had left it in a Saferide car.
Verizon Wireless, Cingular Wireless, Sprint PCS and Nextel Communications offer insurance plans in case a phone is lost or stolen. The insurance is about $4 a month, company representatives said, and has a $3 deductible.
When someone loses a cell phone or realizes it has been stolen, the first thing the person should do is call the carrier to report it. That way, other people cannot use the phone, said representatives from five major wireless providers.
The next step is to file a police report or find the phone, representatives said. Depending on which carrier a person uses, there are different ways to replace the phone.
"It covers anything from being run over by a car to being lost," said Karl Jackson, sales associate at Simply Wireless. 1901 Massachusetts St.
"The dumbest thing you could ever do is steal a cell phone," said Michelle, a sales representative at Cingular Wireless who did not give her last name for company security reasons. "We can see every call being made on it almost instantly. It's really pointless to steal something like that when it's so easily trackable."
Michelle said if someone brought in a phone for activation, the system would show whether the phone was reported lost or stolen. If it was, the carrier would not activate it and would contact the phone's owner, she said. Representatives from the other companies said they had the same policy.
And after a phone is reported lost or stolen to its carrier, no one else can activate the phone.
Because the phone can only be activated with one carrier, it is easy to keep track of lost and stolen phones. Michelle said that was one reason phones could not be interchanged between carriers.
On the other side of the issue, Julie Kellogg, Lecompton senior, said it could be hard to return a phone to its owner. She said she and her roommate had found a phone in the mud near an apartment and had been trying to find its owner for two weeks.
"It just says Bubba's phone on it," she said. "We have no idea what to do with it."
Kellogg said a friend of the phone's owner called one day, and Kellogg had been talking with him about how to return the phone when the battery died.
Because they could not figure out how to get the phone back to its owner, she said she and her roommate planned to turn it in to the police.

game-high nine rebounds against the Longhorns. For the week he averaged eight rebounds and shot 42.9 percent from the field.
Johnson also went 14-for-16 (87,5 percent) from the free-throw line in the two-game span. Johnson has scored in double figures in six straight games and is averaging 7.1 rebounds during Oklahoma's seven-game winning streak. Johnson won the honor in a split vote against Iowa State senior guard Jamaal Tinsley, who averaged 18 points in two Big 12 wins.
Anderson scored 14 points with three assists and two steals in the 73-69 win against Baylor. The Baton Rouge, La., forward scored 18 points in 16 minutes with five rebounds, two blocked shots and two assists in the 72-70 win at Texas Tech. The preseason Big 12 freshman of the year, Anderson shot eight-for-11 from the field against Texas Tech and was 15-for-24 (62.5 percent) for the week. Anderson is averaging 9.1 points, 5.1 rebounds, and leads A&M with 18 blocked shots this season.
NBA
Vancouver Grizzlies look for a new home
permission by the NBA to explore moving to another city next season.
St. Louis, New Orleans, Las Vegas, and Nashville, Tenn., have been mentioned as possible destinations for the struggling team.
Owner Michael Heisley, a Chicago businessman who paid $160 million to buy the Grizzlies in 1999, met with commissioner
GRIZZLIES
David Stern and deputy commissioner Russ Granik yesterday at a Washington hotel to discuss the team's future.
Vancouver will lose at least $40 million this year and even more next year. Stern said.
"We agreed to assist Michael Heisley in exploring other North American cities which may be appropriate for Vancouver to look into," he said in a statement.
If the team wants to move by the start of next season, it would have to submit an application to the NBA by March 1, the league said.
Heisley told the Vancouver Sun there is a $200-million-plus offer from a party wishing to buy the team and move it to the United States.
Heisley, who bought the team from Seattle businessman John McCaw, has a history of turning underperforming companies into profitable operations.
But despite consistently high draft picks, the team is 91-336 (.213) in its 5 1/2 years, including 13-36 this season.
Vancouver's losing record, coupled with high Canadian taxes, has resulted in some players refusing to play for the club.
Last year, Stern helped block Bill Laurie's attempt to buy the
team when it became clear the Missouri businessman wanted to move the franchise to St. Louis. Stern, however, says it "may have been a mistake" to leave the Grizzlies in Vancouver.
NBA All-Star game ratinas fall to new low
NEW YORK — NBC's ratings for the NBA All-Star game are headed for a record low.
The East's 111-110 win Sunday night got a 6.9 overnight rating and an 11 share, Nielsen Media Research said yesterday. That was down 17 percent from the 8.3 overnight rating and 13 share for last year's game, which the West won. 137-126.
The national rating, to be released today, figures to be even lower. Last year's game finished with a 6.9 national rating and 12 share, down 35 percent from the previous All-Star game, which got a 10.6/17 in 1998. (There was no All-Star game in 1999 because of an owner's 'lockout').
The rating is the percentage of 102.2 million television households in the United States tuned to a program. The share is the percentage watching a broadcast among those televisions on at the time.
Overnight ratings are based on 49 major markets.
Tyson, Lewis match-up might become reality
The fight still faces huge hurdles before it could be made, but Tyson and Lewis are now both on the record as saying they want to fight sometime this year.
LAS VEGAS — Mike Tyson said yesterday he was ready to fight heavyweight champion Lennox Lewis this summer.
BOXING
for a fight that could be the richest ever.
Tyson told his manager to start negotiations as soon as possible
"Mike would love to have this fight as his birthday gift," manager Shelly Finkel said of the former heavyweight champion, who turns 35 on June 30. "If Lennox is serious about making this fight, there's nothing avoiding it happening on our end."
Lewis' business manager, Adrian Ogun, said on Sunday he was ready to begin talks for the fight, but said he wasn't sure if Tyson's camp wanted the fight.
"Let's get it on," Finkel quoted Tyson as saving.
Tyson; wants to fight Lennox Lewis this summer
The fight could surpass the second Tyson-Evander
Holyfield fight as the richest ever, with revenues of more than $100 million and purses of $30 million for each fighter
Lewis is under contract to HBO, while Tyson has a contract with Showtime, and unless the cable channels can come to an agreement, there will be no fight.
In addition, the two camps would have to agree on purses, with both fighters feeling they should get the bigger payday.
Lewis has said all along he wants to fight Tyson, but Tyson has been reluctant in his latest comeback to commit himself to a challenge for the WBC and IBF titles.

E-mail virus disguised as photo of tennis star
NEW YORK — A computer virus purported to be an electronic photo of Anna Kournikova overwhelmed e-mail servers throughout Europe and North America yesterday.
The virus slowed down e-mail systems and forced some companies to shut down their e-mail altogether while they cleaned out the rogue program. Security experts said the virus does not permanently damage computers.
Within a few hours, the virus had managed to spread almost as rapidly as last May's "I Love You" virus, which caused tens of millions of dollars in damage worldwide. More computers could be infected today in Asia.
"Everybody and their brother and sister-in-law are infected with this thing," said David Perry, director of public education at Trend Micro Inc. "Last year, everybody wanted to be loved. Apparently many people want to see a JPEG (picture) of Anna Koumikova."
The virus, which appears to have originated in Europe, comes as an attachment named
"AnnaKoimikova.jpg.vbs" and carries the message "Hi; Check This!" But it does not actually contain a photo of the tennis star.
The virus can automatically send copies of itself to everyone on a recipient's address book. It spreads primarily through Microsoft Outlook e-mail software on Windows computers.

The Kansas baseball team's pitching staff grew up much faster than expected last weekend at the Round Rock Express College Classic in Round Rock, Texas.
Entering this season, senior Pete Smart was the only Jayhawk with extensive starting experience. Kansas coach Bobby Randall said that Smart performed as expected, but the rest of the staff's performance was a bit shocking for the 3-0 Jayhawks.
"We were not surprised by Pete because he's proven himself," Randall said. "But our new guys gave us the kind of production we needed to win, and it was a little surprising."
The "new guys" were juniors Justin Wilcher, Jake Wright and Doug Lantz.
Baseball
Wilcher, Wright, and Lantz all made their Kansas debuts in Round Rock last weekend and had breakout outings.
Wilcher earned the win in Kansas' 9-3 victory against previously undefeated Southwest Texas State on Saturday. The Garden City Community College transfer went six innings and only gave up one earned run.
Wilcher is just one of the many key junior college recruits Randall signed last year. Randall said he had expected big
things out of Wilcher this year, but not quite this quickly.
"Justin gave us six strong innings on Saturday and pitched well," Randall said. "He threw a lot of strikes and had a lot of confidence."
Wright clinched his first Jayhawk victory, as well as the Round Rock Classic championship, in Kansas' 5-2 victory against Charlotte on Sunday. The Baldwin native went seven innings and surrendered two earned runs.
Wright redshirted last season after transferring from Allen County Community College. Randall said Wright showed promise during his redshirt season and displayed that progress against Charlotte.
"We waited all last year to see Jake pitch like he did," Randall said. "He pitched a great game, and I'm happy for Jake."
Randall said the pitching staff as a whole could not have performed much better. In the three weekend games, Kansas gave up eight runs, and Randall said good pitching made other aspects of the game better.
"Our good pitching this weekland keyed our good defense," Randall said. "When our pitchers are throwing lots of strikes, our defense shows confidence in them."
"I just want to pitch as much as I can," Lantz said. "I'm going to want the ball in any situation. I want the pressure."
NASCAR confronts Fox about coverage of sponsors' logos
On Sunday's broadcast, Fox
While Wilcher and Wright paced the starters in Round Rock, Kansas may have found a closer in Lantz. Lantz earned his first two collegiate saves by closing out the victories against Texas Christian on Friday and against Charlotte.
The Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — NASCAR was surprised with Fox's first weekend coverage of the Budweiser Shootout because the network showed some race cars with sponsors' logos missing.
Fox broadcast its first event Sunday as part of a new, $2.8 billion contract, but the network spent yesterday in meetings with executives of the racing circuit who were concerned about the sponsorship.
Neither Lou D'Ermilio, Fox's vice president of communications, nor John Griffin, NASCAR's public relations director, would comment on specifics of yesterday's talks. But D'Ermilio said the network would not ignore the complaints.
"We are very mindful of the

industry's concerns," he said. "NASCAR came to us today with those concerns, relating to our graphics. We're going to discuss it internally and get back to NASCAR as soon as we can."
the sanctioning body, however, apparently is not prepared to order changes in Fox's coverage.
"I can't stress enough that it's a partnership, and we're going to regroup with them tomorrow," Griffin said. "We knew there would be changes in the way they sold and the enhancements they would add to the teacast.
This probably caught us off guard."
D'Ermilio said Fox had no plans to back off agreements with its sponsors, but would not say changes wouldn't be made. The goal, he said, was to be responsive to NASCAR and its fans.
"Obviously, it's a factor because we are rethinking our position," D'Ermilio said.
He refused to say how much the contracted advertisers had paid.
"The bottom line for us with viewers is how we cover the races, and none of this had any
The flap with Fox was the second this year for NASCAR, which had a dispute last week with ESPN about the use of materials for its RPM2Nite magazine show.
NASCAR said interviews and images shot at the speedway could be used on ESPN's SportsCenter but not on RPM2Nite.
In response, ESPN, which was part of the NASCAR coverage prior to the new contract, decided to turn down credentials for the Daytona 500.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 13).
The tougher the challenge, the more you'll love it. To achieve the perfection you're after, keep practicing. Choose reality instead of fantasy in February. A setback in April only renews your fighting spirit. Memorize the rules in May, and forget your inhibitions with true love in June. You can see treasure in July, even if you can't quite get it yet. Your plan is put to the test in November, and you also see the light that month.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Your team faces tough competition. You can cheer teammates on, but it won't be enough. You also need to help them work out a strategy. That's what the other guys are doing.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) Today is a 5.
Don't just do as you're told; think about it. An older person's scheme may have a fatal error, so proceed with caution. You can figure out a better way, but it may take a couple of days.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
New assignments may force you to postpone travel. If you can wait until Thursday or Friday, you'll have fewer delays en route. The chores you do before then are frustrating, but it'll be great to have them done.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) Today is a 5.
Review your budget with your sweetheart and/or children, and come up with some sort of long-term plan. First, set an exciting goal. You may not have enough to get there yet, but don't quit. That's why you are making that plant Keep working.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
During the next few days, what you want and what you get could be two different things. Someone may have trouble following your directions, so close supervision is recommended for any job you delegate.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
You're still running into a few bugs, but don't despair. You'll find them all by about Thursday.
Consider it sort of a treasure hunt, even if it seems more like sweeping a minefield. Hey, they wouldn't ask you to do it if they didn't think you could, right?
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
Your loved one or child may soon be disappointed that something isn't affordable. Tell him or her to focus on education and not to be dismayed if it takes a while to reach a goal. This is good for them, so don't cave in.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) Today is a 5.
You pretty much have control of the situation, although you may not think so, because you keep discovering things you don't like. Keep telling yourself that you'll have a strong foundation by the time you're done.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
Review your work before you hand it in, because it may have errors. You don't get extra points for hurrying, so take your time and do it right.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) --- Today is a 4.
A slick, persistent salesperson could try to talk you into spending money. Is the salesperson's product helpful, or is this person trying to meet a quote? To find out, stall.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 5.
Your latest proposal is apt to come under close scrutiny in the next few days. Just fix the things the inspector finds; don't make a big deal of it. It's part of doing the job right.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6.
Some of your basic beliefs might be challenged, and you may decide to re-examine them yourself. Only let go of the stuff weighing you down. You'll be able to identify the truth, because it will set you free.

Travolta was a double nominee in the worst actor category, getting nominations for Battlefield Earth and Lucky Numbers. In addition to Travolta and Sandler, worst actor nods also went to Leonardo DiCaprio (The Beach) Sylvester Stallone (Get Carter) and Arnold Schwarzenegger (The 6th Day).
Worst actress nominees were Kim Basinger (Bless the Child and I Dreamed of Africa), Melanie Griffith (Cecil B. Demented), Madonna (The Next Best Thing), Bette Midler (Isn't She Great) and Demi Moore (Passion of Mind).
The Golden Raspberry Foundation won't have a ceremony this year to present its $4.27 trophy, a gold-painted, golf-ball sized plastic raspberry atop a film canister.
Razzies to award 2000's worst movies
Worst director nominees: Joe Berlinger for *Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2*, Steven Brill for *Little Nicky*, Roger Christian for *Battlefield Earth*, Brian DePalma for *Mission to Mars* and John Schlesinger for *The Next Best Thing*.
The Associated Press
The foundation has 503 voting members consisting of critics, filmgoers and people who work in the entertainment business. Winners will be announced March 24 during a news conference on the eve of the Academy Awards. (Oscar nominations are announced today.)
LOS ANGELES — John Travolta's Battlefield Earth, which got gleefully vicious reviews when it came out last May, now has even more marks of dis-stinktion.
Still, the sentiment against Battlefield Earth is more overwhelming than than it was against Sougheirs, which wound up winning seven. Raspberry founder John Wilson said, "I'd say Battlefield is pretty much a sho-in."
Adam Sandler's Little Nicky, Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 and The Next Best Thing tied for second in the dishonor list with five nominations apiece. The Flintstones in Viva Rock Vegas joined them in the worst picture category.
The movie received eight Razzie nominations — worst picture, director, screenplay, actor, screen couple and three supporting actors — as the Golden Raspberry Foundation picked contenders yesterday for 2000's worst movies.
Showgirls is the all-time Razzie Award nomination leader with 13, but the number of categories has been trimmed to nine.

Jayhawks name new defensive coordinator
The Kansas football team finally can get defensive.
Tom Hayes was named assistant coach and defensive coordinator yesterday. Hayes replaces Darrell Wyatt as assistant coach and Ardell Wiegandt as defensive coordinator.
Hayes spent the last five seasons as secondary coach with the NFL's Washington Redskins.
"Tom represents the perfect fit for our coaching staff," said Kansas coach Terry Allen. "We wanted someone who had experience as an NFL coach and as a coordinator at the collegiate level."
"We wanted someone who
Before working in Washington, Hayes spent four seasons (1991-94) as defensive coordinator and secondary coach at Oklahoma
experience as
an NFL coach and as a coordinator
at the collegiate level."
Terry Allen Kansas football coach
under Gary Gibbs. He was part of two nine-win seasons and three bowl games, including wins in the 1993 John Hancock Bowl and the 1991 Gator Bowl.
Hayes, who was a 1971 graduate and three-year starter at Iowa, coached two seasons at Texas A&M (1989-90), where he was assistant coach and secondary coach under R.C. Slocum. He helped direct the Aggies to a combined 17-7-1 record and two trips to the John Hancock Bowl.
Overall, Hayes has coached on staffs that have a combined 10-3 record in bowl games.
Hayes also worked nine years (1980-88) as an assistant with Terry Donahue at UCLA. He was part of eight bowl games with the Bruins, including three Rose Bowl victories. UCLA also played in the Cotton, Aloha, Freedom, Fiesta and bluebonnet bowls during Hayes' stint with the Bruins. UCLA also won four Pac-10 Conference championships and was ranked in the Top 10 five times in final college football polls.
"One of the most impressive aspects of his 11 years as a defensive coordinator at UCLA and Oklahoma and two years as assistant head coach at Texas A&M is the fact that he helped direct teams to bowl games in 13 of those season." Allen said.
Allen was thankful to fill the position many thought former Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator Kurt Schottenheimer would take. Schottenheimer was hired as defensive coordinator with the Redskins.
Hayes will begin his duties at Kansas on Monday, Feb. 26.

BIG MONDAY MELTDOWN
Bears scorch 'Hawks
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
WACO, Texas — First came a heartbreaker at Missouri, and then a near-miss against Iowa State, but last night No. 6 Kansas had a Big Monday meltdown as Baylor rolled to an 85-77 win at the Ferrell Center.
It marked Kansas' third loss in three weeks on ESPN's Big Monday after a road loss at Missouri two weeks ago and a home defeat to then-No. 12 Iowa state last week.
This one might hurt the most, though, as the Jayhawks (19-4, 8-3 Big 12) lost control of their destiny in the conference race and, worse yet, lost some of their dignity.
"I'm totally stunned, totally embarrassed," said a misty-eyed Kansas coach Roy Williams. "I don't know that I've ever been involved in anything that was that complete of a breakdown. I'd use the word stunned. I've just very, very seldom had a team that was not really ready to play.
"I didn't like the feel that they gave me in the locker room before the game. I don't think you should fear anyone, but you've got to respect everybody you play. I didn't like the whole attitude, the whole feel in the locker room before we even started."
The Jayhawks were in trouble from the beginning, and not just because forward Drew Gooden was out with a sprained wrist.
The Bears (16-6 and 5-6) roared to a 10-0 lead — Kansas' largest game-opening deficit in the Williams era — before Kirk Hinrich finally got the 'Hawks on the board with a free-throw at
the 16:31 mark. Jeff Boschee the three-pointer trimmed the lead to six, but that was as pretty as things got for Kansas until the game was almost finished.
Kansas shot a horrendous 29 percent from the field in the half, including three-for-14 from behind the arc. The Hawks were out-rebounded and turned the ball over 11 times.
"You can't spot anybody those kind of points and play the way we played in the first half," Williams said. "We didn't touch iron the first five possessions. We completely lost our poise in the first half and took bad shots. It was a complete breakdown. We weren't ready to play."
After Baylor pushed the lead to 27 points in the opening seconds of the second half, Kansas began taking better shots. The Jayhawks shot 55 percent in the second period and unleashed a 26-6 run during the next eight minutes that cut the lead to four points after a Hinrich three and a Bosche jumper.
The Bears countered with a 12-5 run and nailed their free-throws down the stretch before the fans stormed the court in celebration.
"That was the worst game I've ever been a part of," said Hinrich, who scored a game-high 26 points. "Nobody was playing good, there were no bright spots. It was just embarrassing."
Wounded, the Jayhawks now must try to mend their wings before Saturday's rematch at Iowa State where the Cyclones own a 33-game home-court winning streak, the second longest in the nation.

Kansas falls one spot in poll
The Associated Press
Kansas dropped one spot in the latest Associated Press Top 25 men's basketball poll released yesterday, just one week after the Jayhawks suffered a 79-77 loss to the Iowa State Cyclones in Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks, who were ranked fifth last week, dropped to sixth, while the Big 12 Conference-leading Cyclones jumped from 12th to seventh. No. 13 Oklahoma was the only other Big 12 school ranked in the Top 25.
North Carolina remained the No. 1 team in the nation for the secondstraight week, while two of college basketball's other premier programs reentered the Top 25.
28 3:58 33
North Carolina (21-2), which extended the nation's longest winning streak to 18 games with victories against Wake Forest and Maryland last week, received 62 first-place votes and 1,742 points from the national media panel.
The Kentucky Wildcats (15-7) and UCLA Bruins (15-6), who both dropped from the rankings 11 weeks ago, came in this week at Npos. 22 and 24.
Illinois, which beat Michigan State last week in the only regular-season meeting between the Big Ten's top two teams, jumped from seventh to fourth, while the Spartans dropped one spot to fifth.
Stanford (22-1), which got the other eight No. 1 votes and 1,659 points, and Duke (22-2) remained second and third, respectively.
Florida dropped three spots to No. 11 and was followed in the second ten by Virginia, Oklahoma, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Mississippi, Maryland, Georgetown, Wisconsin and Fresno State.
Arizona, Boston College and Syracuse rounded out the Top Ten. Boston College jumped from 17th to ninth — the Eagles' first appearance in the Top Ten since they were sixth on Dec. 20, 1983.

The last five ranked teams were Alabama, Kentucky, Wake Forest, UCLA and Iowa.
An 85-76 loss to UCLA knocked the USC Trojans (16-6) out of the rankings from No. 22. It is their first time out of the poll this season, after being ranked as high as 12th.
Xavier (18-4) also fell out of the Top 25 after one week in the rankings at No. 24. The Muskeeters lost to St. Joseph's last week before beating Temple.
The biggest jump of the week was Mississippi' rise from No. 25 to No. 16 after SEC wins against LSU and Tennessee.
The biggest drop of the week was Iowa's fall from No. 14 to No. 25 after the Hawkeyes, playing without injured guard Luke Recker, lost Big Ten games to Ohio State and Northwestern.
Tennessee (18-6), which also lost a SEC game to Arkansas last week, dropped from No. 10 to No. 15 - the first time the Volunteers have been out of the Top Ten all season.

All-Star game has elements unseen in pros
Every basket goes in. That's $0000000
exciting ... not.
Professional basketball is a purely offensive franchise of the game of basketball.
Usually, NBA games can be pretty predictable: a very large man dunks, a very large man from the opposing team dunks, another very large man dunks an ally-oop pass from the original man, and so on.
But last night the NBA produced a game that actually could have been dubbed "exciting."
The East Conference overcame a 21-point deficit with 9:10 remaining and won the game 111-110. Impressive, even by professional basketball standards.
This year's All-Star game was actually good basketball. And when I say good basketball I mean that it was a replica of college basketball — there was defense, there was emotion, there was an upset.
Defense, emotion and upsets are all rarities in the NBA. You never see it. And it's the lack of these three things that keep many people, including myself, bored to tears watching the pro boys, wishing Big Monday on ESPN wasn't just a once-aweek thing.
It seems that when college players (or high school athletes in the case of Lakers' guard Kobe Bryant) get to the NBA they forget the defensive skills that their little league coach, their prep coach, their summer league coach and their college coach all worked so hard to try to drill into them.
Roy Williams uses defensive grades to choose starters. He pulls players out of the game for stupid defensive mistakes. He's a guy who values importance of the "10" each minute of a 40-minute contest.
In high school and college hoops the motto "Defense wins championships" is universal. However, in the world of Lakers' Shaquille O'Neal, Raptors' Vince Carter and Bryant, "defense" is almost a dirty word.
I highly doubt Phil Jackson would bench Bryant because his defense was nonexistent.
Besides the lack of defense in professional basketball, the game is almost completely void of emotion as well.
These guys are making millions of dollars a year to avoid getting injured while making some monster slam. They don't really care who wins the game as long as they get their 30 points and Nike contract in the can.
The players don't smile, and they don't show their feelings, even in unbearable losses. They just let the emotions of the game pass by them as if they had no love for the game or for the thrill of competition. Moreover, the players don't connect with the crowd, let alone the movie star with court-side seats.
College kids don't see dollar signs with every point they score. They see the game being played. They smile at the fans and cover their heads with towels after a loss. They aren't afraid to mix the business of the game at hand with the pleasure of being healthy and able to play Division I, Division II or Division III ball. You know that emotion is real when it's on the face of an 18-year-old as opposed to the saccharin smile offered by a cold, hardened veteran.
And finally, there's the upset.
No one expected the East to come back and beat the West. No one expected that the 76ers' Allen Iverson would score 15 of his game-high 25 points in the fourth quarter. A blowout is the most common form of win in the NBA, so who would expect an upset? Unusual and nice.
Upsets are a rarity in college hoops too, but when they happen it's big. Big as in unranked UCLA upsetting No. 1 Stanford and Wake Forest thrashing Kansas by 31 points.
I don't expect to see the NBA follow the All-Star Game's lead and become exciting again, exhibiting defense, emotion and upsets regularly. But I do hope that the All-Star game will have a college-level repeat come Saturday in Ames, Iowa. I hope that there we'll have a thrilling game full of defense, emotion and an upset (in favor of the visiting team, of course).

Commission approves compromise
Number raised from two to three regarding unrelated roommates
By Erin Adamson writer@kanson.com Kansan staff writer
The maximum number of nonrelated people allowed to live together in residences zoned for single families will be three.
Previously, the City Commission had proposed that two unrelated people be the limit.
The change was the first of two ordinances adopted by the Commission last night. The second will require landlords to register their properties within 90 days of the ordinance being published as law.
Because of staunch opposition by many of
the 100-some people who attended last week's commission meeting, commissioners unanimously decided to compromise with the three-person limit.
Ben Walker, student body president, said the three-person limit was an acceptable compromise for students. He said it was preferable to the two-person limit, although the Student Senate thought the original four-person limit should not have been changed in the first place.
But Walker asked the commission to reconsider the terms of registering landlords because he didn't want the new ordinance to prevent students from signing leases for Fall 2001.
"We request that the amendment not become effective until Sept. 1, 2001," he said.
Both ordinances will be legally published March 1, and three months from that date all landlords will have had to register properties that are zoned for single families. But
the ordinance limiting unrelated tenants to three people became effective last night.
Mark Lehman, landlord and city commission candidate, said he opposed the registration ordinance.
"It's the worst classic case of ignorance I've ever seen on a city commission," Lehman said.
He said that a three-person limit would cost students.
"I think there will be more financial burden on students." Lebman said.
He said that registration fees would likely rise, and landlords would pass those costs on to renters.
Registration and inspection, he said, would only help students in horrible living situations.
"Inspections could give the bottom 25 percent relief from bad situations," Lehman said. "I estimate $7 to $9 per student, but most students would see no benefit."
He said rent would certainly be higher for
three unrelated students who wanted to live in a four-bedroom house together.
"I have been told by fair housing people that I can't ask." Lehman said.
Lehman said he was upset by the burden that would fall to landlords in asking tenants about their familial relationships, because asking was illegal under federal law.
Holly Krebs, Student Senate transportation coordinator, said the three-person limit defined families as only those people legally related and would be discriminatory.
"The city's nondiscrimination policy says it won't discriminate based on sexual orientation," she said.
Lehman agreed.

The Topeka sophomore crawled into a sleeping bag yesterday afternoon on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union to participate in Amnesty International's "Naps for Human Lives Day."
Karen Keith, Tula, Okla, sophomore and KU Amnesty International president, said that the group was staging the event as a spinoff of another form of peaceful protest, "I Stand Up for Human Rights Day," which took place at various universities last Friday.
"The groups participating stood up on campus all day passing out flyers and talking to people with T-shirts on that said 'I stand up for human rights.'" Keith said. "We decided that that wouldn't have worked so well here for various reasons, so we decided that having a nap dav would work better."
Glotzbach, a member of the group, said there were various reasons for her participation in the peaceful protest.
"I'm tired of human rights violations and I'm tired of all the social injustice." Glotzbach said.
And just tired in general, she said. Glotzbach went to bed after sunrise yesterday morning after working a graveyard shift at a nursing home.
"I worked until 6:30 this morning, so I didn't get enough sleep," Glotzbach said. "And Tuesdays and Thursdays are my bad days — I've got classes until late in the evening. So I think that this is an awesome idea."
The group brought in nine sleeping bags and pillows for the nappers and set up tables and signs to give other, more well-rested passersby a chance to learn about Amnesty.
"If people come and sleep, then they start reading the literature and find a
cause that they might agree with," Keith said. "Even if they don't sleep, there are tons of people walking through the Union, and if they see the signs we made, then they might see something that will stay with them in the back of their mind."
Keith said the cause that Amnesty was especially trying to make people aware of was a petition against the sale of rough diamonds from Sierra Leone, Africa. She said the sale of these diamonds could possibly supply money to a brutal group called Revolutionary United Front, which was known for
"Revolutionary United Front is primarily funded by the sale of diamonds in the region." Keith said. "The U.S. purchases 65 percent of diamonds sales and right now there is no way to know where these diamonds are coming from. We'd like to identify these diamonds bought from Revolutionary United Front and ban them."
cutting off the limbs of innocent citizens of Sierra Leone.
Keith said that this was a hot topic around Valentine's Day because of the large amount of diamond sales specifically for the holiday.
Aaron Jacobs, Leawood freshman, handed out several fliers about the Revolutionary United Front yesterday afternoon. He said many people were enthusiastic about the nap-in.
"We've had five or six people sleeping at once," Jacobs said. "And many people have come to the table and said that it was a good idea."
That turnout was exactly what Keith said she had hooded for.
"This is strictly awareness-oriented," she said. "We're just trying to draw people in that aren't normally involved."

Student sues apartment complex, wins back deposit
By Cassio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
When Craig Damlo had his security deposit withheld by Jefferson Commons last year, he decided to take action against the apartment complex.
That action paid off for him last week
Damlo, Overland Park junior,
won his $200 deposit back after
a petition in Douglas County
small claims court in November.
Damlo said that when he got a letter from Jefferson Commons in September stating that his deposit would be taken, he wrote the apartment complex contesting the charges. At the time, the apartment complex mailed him a $40 check, he said.
Two weeks after he received the check, Damlo filed with the small claims court.
At the end of November, knowing that Damlo had filed a complaint, Jefferson Commons mailed him a $33 check. he said.
"They just overcharged everyone hoping nobody would file against them," Damlo said. "My roommates accepted it, and that's what they expected. People just want to move on with their lives."
Ann White, regional manager for JPI, a Dallas-based company that owns Jefferson Commons, declined to comment on Damlo's case.
Jo Hardesty, director and managing attorney for Legal Services for Students, said she had been contacted by many students who had lived in Jefferson Commons and weren't happy about what happened with their deposits.
Hardesty said that Jefferson Commons not only withheld deposits, which generally were about $275, but also wanted more money.
She said she had heard from more students with complaints against Jefferson Commons than any other landlord in Lawrence.
"We are totally encouraging people to go ahead." Hardesty said.
Jeremy Arthur, Erie senior, lived in Jefferson Commons last year and said the complex also withheld his deposit. In addition, he said he had to pay $80 for cleaning fees.
Unlike Damlo, Arthur decided not to take action against Jefferson Commons.
"I didn't think it was worth the hassle," he said. "I wanted to get nast it."
But Arthur said that Damlo's action would encourage more students to fight the apartment complex in the future.
"If they were sued all the time, they would be more fair," Arthur said.

Students work to increase minority retention
Senators devising preliminary plans
By Danny Phillips
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Marlon Marshall has a mission before he graduates: to involve students in raising the minority retention rate at the University of Kansas.
Minority students attending the University had a 68 percent retention rate during the 1999-2000 school year, according to the Office of Multicultural Affairs, 12 percent lower than the overall retention rate.
"I think that the administration feels it's important, but I don't know how much of a priority it is," said Marshall, St. Louis, Mo., senior and
Student Senate vice president. "If we're loud enough and professional
Marshall's first step toward drafting a retention plan is meeting with students who are concerned about the issue. He's already talked informally with student organization leaders, and he's arranged a
enough in making our voice heard, then we can make it a priority for the administration."
Marshalli wants to increase minority retention rate
meeting Friday afternoon with hand-picked students to discuss possible ideas.
Some of the preliminary ideas Marshall and other students have
begun to float around include gleaning strategies from other Big 12 universities with high minority retention rates and creating an administrative task force to find alternative sources of funding for minority scholarships.
Jessica Bankston, Albequereque, N.M., junior and Student Senate legislative director, said another possibility would be to learn the techniques the admissions office uses to recruit National Merit Scholars and apply that to minority recruitment.
She said the University of Oklahoma had the highest number of National Merit Scholars in the conference as well as one of the highest minority retention rates.
"The evidence is there that it can be done." she said.
Justin Mills, Lansing senior and holdover senator, recently met with the admissions office with several
other students, including Marshall, and said he thought the office had some goals when it came to minority recruitment, but it needed to publicize its efforts more.
Alan Cerveny, director of the Office of Admissions and Scholarships, said the office was taking a "very formalized approach" to minority recruitment that included a "University-wide focus."
He said the office formed a multicultural recruitment board in September, which included a student representative. The board meets every month to discuss ways that the University could have better awareness and coordination to increase minority recruitment.
Responding to student concerns, Cerveny said there "may be some merit in looking into resource issues." However, he pointed out that there were funds specifically designated for
minority recruitment.
Student senator Josh Burdette, Belle Plaine graduate student, said minority retention "goes back to the climate and culture at KU." He said overall the University and its students had generated a positive atmosphere for minorities, but there are a few who chose to counter that positivity.
As far as specific plans to increase retention, Burdette said the University just needed to do a better job of letting minority students know what programs and services were available to them.
Whatever the resolution is, Marshall said it probably wouldn't be ready until the end of the semester. It could come in the form of a Student Senate bill, or a group of students might approach the administration directly, he said.

New chairs, risers installed in theatre
New chairs and seating platforms have been installed in the William Inge Memorial Theatre in Murphy Hall. A fundraiser last fall, run by the University Theatre's support organization, FRIENDS of the Theatre, raised $20,000 for the improvements.
The renovations will be complete in time for tomorrow's opening of "An American Medley," a series of four short plays.
Alex Weston, stage manager for the University Theatre, said the audience would benefit from a "much nicer environment to watch a show in."
"You'll be able to see much more clearly, without having to look through the head of the person in front of you." Weston said.
The new risers are eight inches in height, as opposed to the older, six-inch risers, Weston said. The new chairs have arms and are cushioned. Weston said the new equipment also benefited the technical crew, as setup time for the new platforms was a fraction of that for the older ones.
The theater support group's October fundraiser featured NBC news personality Bob Dotson, a 1968 graduate of the University of Kansas, who spoke to more than 100 theater supporters at a gala dinner.

Children survive being hit by drunk driver
LEAVENWORTH, Kan. — An 8-year-old Leavenworth girl was in serious condition yesterday after a sled carrying her and her brother collided with a pickup equipped with a snow plow last week.
Police arrested the truck's driver after finding he had a blood-alcohol level of 0.152 percent, nearly double the legal limit.
The driver has not been charged. But Leavenworth County Attorney Frank Kohl said he was investigating whether to charge the man with driving under the influence or a more serious charge involving recklessness.
Police said Jessica McCall and her seven-year-old brother Justin sledded down a hill and onto a city street, where they were hit by the plow. Jessica was flown to a Kansas City hospital.
Police Lieutenant Patrick Kitchens said Jessica had a fractured skull and back and brain injuries. Her brother had minor injuries.

Six soldiers die after Army helicopter crash
HONOLULU — Six soldiers died when two Army Black Hawk hell-copters crashed during a nighttime exercise on the island of Oahu. Seven others were injured.
The names of the dead and injured were not disclosed, pending notification of their families. Four of the 17 soldiers on the two aircraft escaped unharmed.
The accident involved two UH60 helicopters participating in an exercise above kahuki on Monday evening, said Maj. Nancy Makowski, a spokeswoman for the 25th Infantry Division based at Schofield Barracks It was initially thought the two helicopters collided in the air, but Makowski said that had not been confirmed and would be determined in an investigation.
Napster must find way to profit from defeat
SAN FRANCISCO — Napster Inc., the internet song-swapping sensation, has its work cut out if it wants to parlay its latest legal defeat into financial victory.
Napster had plans to start charging subscription fees by summer, but major record labels haven't yet been persuaded to work side-by-side with the Redwood City-based company and, as a result, will not willingly part with titles from their coveted artists. It's not even clear whether the one industry heavyweight that does support Napster, Bertelsmann AG, will continue to finance the Internet upstart in the face of a losing legal battle.
Under Monday's ruling by the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, the company must somehow stop the millions of people who use it to swap copyrighted music without charge and without restriction.
Nurse shortage will be problem, experts warn
WASHINGTON — The most vulnerable patients in the nation's operating rooms, intensive care units and newborn wards won't have enough able caregivers in 20 years because of a
shrinking pool of registered nurses, health experts warned Congress yesterday.
The hearing on how much the federal government should pay for recruiting or keeping nurses came as the Health and Human Services Department prepared to release new figures today on the nursing work force.
Preliminary data provided by the Senate yesterday shows out of 2.7 million licensed registered nurses, 2.2 million were employed as nurses in 2000. That is compared with the 2.5 million licensed to practice, and 2.1 million employed in the 1996 government survey, conducted by the department's Bureau of Health Professions.
From 1996 to 2000, the average age of registered nurses has risen from 44.3 to 45.2, the Health Department figures show.
Federal officials and nursing groups agree the nation will experience an acute shortage of registered nurses starting in 2010, when today's nurses start to retire.
NEAR continues signals but no one will listen
COLUMBIA, Md. — NEAR, the spacecraft that became the first man-made object to land on an asteroid, may continue sending its signal for months, but after today, nobody will be listening.
The spacecraft, designed for orbiting and not landing, astounded even the experts Monday by touching down so gently on the asteroid, Eros, that its radio beacon continued to send a strong signal to Earth. Mission director Robert Farquhar said if the craft's solar panels continued to generate electricity, the signal could last at least three months.
But today, the five-year mission off cially ends, said Farquhar, and NASA's Deep Space Network would no longer relay signals from Eros, some 196 million miles away.

Meanwhile, in the Gaza Strip, Israeli helicopter gunships fired missiles toward a car, killing a Palestinian security agent and injuring four others in a nearby vehicle, police said.

Second quake rocks El Salvador
SAN SALVADOR, El Salvador — A strong earthquake struck El Salvador yesterday morning, killing at least 70 people and adding to the destruction caused by a January trember in which more than 800 died.
The Associated Press
Officials said at least 70 people died and hundreds of houses collapsed yesterday in a nation still on emergency footing following a 7.6-magnitude earthquake on Jan. 13 that forced hundreds of thousands to abandon damaged or destroyed homes.
"It is true that this is another blow for El Salvador, but I call for tranquility. We have to be calm," President Francisco Flores said after he took a helicopter flight to assess the damage.
Residents of the capital city San Salvador fled into the streets in panic as the earthquake hit. Major highways were closed by landslides.
The U.S. Geological Survey said the earthquake had a magnitude of 6.1. It hit about 8:25 a.m., and was centered 15 miles east-southeast of the capital, San Salvador. Its shallow, land-based epicenter meant it was felt strongly not only in El Salvador but in neighboring Guatemala and Honduras.
About 200 houses collapsed in the town of San Cayetano Istepeque, roughly 30 miles east of the capital, according to Public Works Minister Jose Angel Quiros.
The government canceled school and closed all public buildings, including hospitals, so they could be checked for possible damage. San Salvador's airport also was closed briefly.
Telephone service was patchy to many parts of the country.
Landslides blocked several highways still under restoration after the January quake. Among those closed again was the Pan-American Highway to Guatemala.
The Green Cross rescue service said a collapsing grain tower killed two people in San Martin, 11 miles east of the capital, and 75 houses in that city were reported damaged.
There were no reports of additional damage in Santa Tecla, the city where hundreds of people were buried by a landslide caused by January's quake.
Officials said at least 827 people died in the January quake, but hundreds remained missing and hundreds of thousands were homeless.
More than 3,200 aftershocks followed the January quake.

Blood trail tells tale of cat's death
By Lauren Brandenburg and Amanda Beglin writer@kansan.com
Kanson staff writers
Five maintenance workers from Meadowbrook Apartment complex, located near 15th and Crestline streets, said they were disappointed that 22-year-old Brett Rizzo pleaded not guilty yesterday to killing a cat in the complex in January.
Rizzo was charged in Douglas County District Court with a misdemeanor count of cruelty to animals, which could carry a sentence up to one year in jail.
John Huff, 25, said he and the other workers noticed every day that the bloodstains from the cat they had cared for still remained on sidewalks, fences, garage doors, the maintenance van and the dumpster where the cat's body was discarded.
Workers said the apartment where the cat was killed had been completely refurbished.
"We had to replace the carpet and padding." Huff said.
He said the cat's blood had been on the apartment's floor, wall, ceiling, doors, light switches and door knobs. Outside the apartment, the workers saw arcs of blood that indicated someone had swung the cat around.
Donny Howell, 17, said he and the other workers noticed every day that the cat was gone.
"It's so obvious." Howell said. "She would always be sitting on one of the chairs when you came in. She was petted all day."
Howell said he could not understand what would motivate someone to kill a cat in that way.
The workers used their breaks from work yesterday to attend Rizzo's appearance and said they planned to attend every hearing in the case.
The one question that remains in the workers' minds, they said, is why the tenants did not do anything to stop the crime.
The apartment's tenants were evicted within days of the incident, said Adam Holm, a Topeka junior who said he had not lived in the apartment since August even though his name was on the lease. He said he heard about the incident soon after it happened from another tenant's girlfriend.
One of the other tenants refused to comment, and another tenant could not be reached for comment.
Rizzo and his attorney refused to comment on the case after yesterday's hearing.
Rizzo's preliminary hearing will be at 1:30 p.m. on Tuesday, March 6.

Students, youth fight violence
By Andrew Davies writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Six University of Kansas psychology graduate students want to supplement area schobls' violence-prevention programs and get parents, teachers and students involved.
The graduate students are assigned to one of seven area school districts, where they set up programs as separate forums for students, teachers and parents.
The students show each group a 20-minute video, *Warning Signs*, produced by MTV and the American Psychological Association. The video, aimed towards middle and high school students, discusses ways to prevent violence and lists warning signs for acts of violence.
After watching the video, a KU student leads a discussion about the video and reactions to it and discusses ways to prevent violence.
The KU students work under the supervision of a certified school pscholologist.
The project is helping participating KU students finish a oneyear College of Liberal Arts and Sciences practicum requirement.
Joe Nyre, assistant director of student services for the Lawrence School District, said the program was a chance for Mandy Goodnight, Lawrence graduate student assigned to the Lawrence school district, to complete her practicum.
He said if Goodnight's program was successful and passed certain criteria, the school district would adopt it for its existing program.
Nyre said the school had used violence-prevention programs for the past 10 to 12 years.
"If this turns out to be a good addition to our program, we'll certainly add it," he said.
School violence has become a concern in the last few years. Since 1997, shootings have taken
place in Pearl, Miss., West Paducah, KY, Jonesboro, Ark., Springfield, Ore., and Columbine High School in Littleton, Colo.
More recently, Royal Valley High School in Hoyt narrowly missed being added to the list. Acting on the tip of a student, officials were able to catch three students who were suspected of planning a Columbine-like attack.
Only two districts have started programs with the graduate students or have plans to conduct a forum. Erin Wiggs, Olathe graduate student who is assigned to the Paola and Louisburg school districts, has conducted a forum.
Jason Rehfeldt, Lawrence graduate student who is assigned to the Kansas City, Kan., school district, plans to hold a discussion.
Amanda Henry, Lawrence graduate student who is assigned to the DeSoto school district, said she would target the program at the middle school level. Henry
said she hoped the programs would help both students and teachers recognize behavior problems.
"It's scary anywhere when you hear teachers talking about behaviors kids have," she said, "But they don't recognize the damage of the behavior."
Steven Lee, associate professor of pre-psychology and research in education and director of the University school-pyschology program, said that the program would be evaluated for effectiveness at the end of the semester and that school district officials would be able to offer their reactions.
One concern that has already been raised, Lee said, is that the programs might inadvertently encourage violent behavior. The school districts want to increase awareness, he said, but they are concerned that discussing some of the issues might give an individual an idea to do something bad.

City tries corn-based alternative fuels

CORN CARS
By Erin Adamson
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Three cleaner-burning cars that run on a blend of ethanol and gasoline have hit Lawrence streets.
Ethanol is a fuel made by fermenting grain, corn or other biological matter. The city will use ethanol made from corn alcohol in three Ford Tauruses.
Mike Wildgen, Lawrence city manager, said the city was looking for alternatives to gasoline fuel that would help save money as energy costs increased. He said the city was planning for the future and alternative fuels made sense.
"It's just basic good management to look for alternative fuel," Wildgen said.
The city is working in partnership with the Kansas Corn Growers Association to provide ethanol fuel for city vehicles. The association promotes the use of corn for food and industrial purposes.
Karl Birns, instructor in environmental studies, said ethanol was a good option.
- "Ethanol by and large burns cleaner than gasoline." Birns said. "From that perspective, it's good."
The three Fords are built to run on regular gasoline or a mixture of ethanol and gasoline. The mixture is called E-75 fuel, which means that the fuel is 75 percent ethanol and 25 percent unleaded gasoline.
The city also has bought three new sedans that will run on an ethanol-blend fuel.
Wildgen said the city was looking at a number of other alternative fuel options for its vehicles.
"There's even an electric truck out there by Ford you can only lease that we're looking at." he said.
Stan Loeb, director of the environmental studies department, said the city was taking
an interesting step.
"It's good to look and see how it works." Loeb said.
Birns said that although cars running on ethanol usually didn't go as far per gallon as cars runnin on gasoline fuel, ethanol was generally cheaper, which saved money even though it burned faster.
"For a lot of reasons, ethanol makes sense." Birns said.
Loeb said one possible downside to running cars on ethanol-blend fuels was that they would not be as efficient in the summer.
"When ethanol evaporates, you get a lot of debris in the atmosphere," Loeb said.
Birns said that an organization called Clean Cities encouraged local governments to start using alternative fuels such as alcohol, propane and electricity. Birns, who is also the co-chairman of the Kansas City region Clean Cities coalition, said that Lawrence could join Manhattan and Kansas City by being designated a clean city by the organization.

Information fair to ease transition for nontrads
By Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Dale Smith made a promise to himself that he intended to keep — to earn a college degree. After more than 20 years in the Navy, the retired officer is taking on his challenge at the University of Kansas.
While Smith, a Kansas City, Mo., junior, has learned the ropes through time, other nontraditional students still are adjusting to college life.
The Student Development Center will offer a one-stop informational program, "Nontrads" Campus Connections," from 2:30 to 5 p.m. tomorrow at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union.
"Primarily, we are trying to provide an opportunity for new and continuing nondrills to get information from various University offices," said Laura Morgan, assistant director of student development.
The afternoon will begin with greetings from administrators, followed by a short talk from student representatives, and then an individual question-and-answer session.
The student development center is sponsoring the informational forum in the middle of the semester rather than the beginning for a specific reason, Morgan said. Many students have one set of questions at orientation and a different set once classes have begun.
"It is a chance for folks who now have a few weeks of class under their belt to ask some new questions." Morgan said.
For Smith, the retired Navy man, the hardest adjustment is one that transcends nontraditional students to the entire student body.
"The most difficult transition for me was employing self-discipline in regards to putting in the hours of study needed to be successful." Smith said. "Working full time is in many ways easier than attending college full time."

Symbol's racist overtones aren't appropriate on flag
Georgia's compromise a step in right direction
Dissent: State's new flag preserves Southern heritage
he University of Kansas is a community in
T which we as students have the opportunity to attend classes, learn and graduate to the next step in our lives. Similarly, United States citizens share a bond of certain inalienable rights that protect our freedom.
In the spirit of this balance of unity and individual freedom, the Confederate flag no longer holds an appropriate place in American culture. As such, Georgia's decision to modify its state flag to reduce the size of the Confederate symbol is a step forward. But it fails to remedy the problems presented by the symbol because it leaves the symbol intact.
Georgia's lawmakers missed a chance to help make amends for a past marred by slavery and racism. They should have removed the Confederate symbol entirely from the Georgia state flag.
Since the days of desegregation, the rebel symbol constituted two-thirds of Georgia's official state flag. On Jan. 31, Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes signed a bill creating a new flag with the state seal dominant instead of the Confederate symbol.
However, a smaller version of the emblem — which covers less than 5 percent of the flag — remains at the bottom of the new flag, in a row with four other prior state flags from the state's history.
This new flag represents a compromise between the two opposing groups within the state that feel that the Confederate flag symbolizes different things. Opponents of the rebel battle symbol argue that it represents the oppression of slavery. The Confederate symbol's supporters argue that it stands for genteel Southern heritage and states' rights.
The Confederate stands too much for the enslavement of people to be something our nation or a state should look to with respect and patriotism. It has more power to divide the nation than to bring people together.
SYMBOL OF RACISM
Although this argument for heritage on a flag has its merits, in this case, the symbol is too strongly linked with slavery in the Old South to evoke a universal feeling of historical pride. In light of the Confederacy's strong defense of the slavery system, this symbol is improper as a way to celebrate and appreciate the past.
Lawmakers should not perpetuate this divisive symbol, regardless of its size.
STILL A SYMBOL OF RACISM
Katherine Marchin for the editorial board
Wes Benson / KANSAN
On Jan. 31, Georgia Gov. Roy Barnes approved a new, improved flag after a statewide controversy. The new flag is a fair compromise that
The National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and other civil rights groups had threatened a boycott of Georgia if the Confederate symbol on the old flag was not removed.
The Confederateate covered two-thirds of the old flag, which many African Americans had objected to, saying it evoked images of slavery. The new flag has the Georgia state seal and the five past state flags — including the Confederate flag — in a reduced sized underneath it.
The flag also was an issue for the NCAA basketball Final Four in Atlanta in March 2002 because some players and coaches refused to play under the flag. The NCAA told Georgia lawmakers to take the flag down or it could not be the host of the tournament.
Reducing the size of the Confederate emblem was a good compromise because the emblem remains on the flag as a symbol of Southern pride, but is in an appropriate place with all of Georgia's past flags. African-American groups should be happy with the large step made for this new flag. Southern groups should also be satisfied with the decision not to remove the emblem completely from the flag.
African-American leaders have agreed that they will not call for a boycott of the state. But many Southern pride groups have said the new flag betrays their heritage and succumbs to "economic terrorism."
The new flag is more politically correct and moves Georgia in the right direction.
Other Southern states have taken similar measures. South Carolina took down the Confederate flag over its Capitol this summer. Hundreds protested, but the protests soon faded. In Georgia, the Sons of Confederate Veterans protested, saying the emblem was a symbol of "independence and self-determination."
However, Georgia's change was a compromise that state leaders realized was needed. Hopefully, this will start a trend in other Southern states.
Georgia's compromise represents its awareness of the changing South and its willingness to change with it.

Perspective
Content, advertisements dictate newspaper size
Those business elements
People often don't understand the business elements behind putting out a newspaper, Kansan editor Lori O'Toole said.
Last Wednesday, the Kansan published a 28-page paper. Yesterday's was only 10, which could cause readers to assume there wasn't a whole heck of a lot going on. But they would be wrong. In fact, the amount of news really has nothing to do with the size of the newspaper.
Those business elements are advertisements. And because they pay for the Kansan, they also determine its size and shape. As the number of ads vary each day, the paper contracts and expands.
It would be easy to get confused. Sometimes the sports page is in full color and has its own section. Other times, sports headlines are buried in black and white in the middle of section A.

Three days a week.
there's a Hilltopics page — unless one gets bumped for a more pressing story.
Occasionally, there's an international story from the Associated Press on the front of the paper. On other days, there's hardly anything in the Kansan but campus news.
It all depends on how many ads are sold and where they are placed. An ideal ratio for the Kansan is 50 percent ads, 50 percent news, O'Toole said. However, a typical day's newspaper contains 40 percent ads, 60 percent news.
When that ratio changes, so does the content of the newspaper. Every day, nearly a dozen people at the Kansan meet, look at the available space and decide which stories to run the next day and which ones to hold for future
issues.
Sometimes the paper is "loose" — such as yesterday's, which was only 43 percent ads — so wire stories from the Associated Press help Kansan reporters fill up the pages. On other days, the paper is "tight," and less pressing stories — or those of less significance — are put on the back burner.
The size of the paper also determines the number of wire stories, and the amount of national and global news is something many students take issue with.
I know I've seen comments about it in Free for All that basically say, "I don't read the Kansan because there isn't anything in it I need to know."
Maybe. But O'Toole had a reply.
"The Kansan is a campus newspaper," she said. "Our first priority is to cover campus events for students."
But she added the Kansan was the only source of news for some students, so every issue has some national news — even if it's just briefs on page 2A — to keep students up to date.
With that in mind, responsible readers — whether they are reading The New York Times or the Kansan— do not rely on only one source for their news, regardless of how good those two media are at their respective coverage.
When the news is bigger or affects a large part of campus, such as an earthquake in India or natural gas explosions in Hutchinson, it makes the front page.
"We don't have the space to do it all, but we try to choose what we think is most important." O'Toole said.

The bottom line is that the paper size will vary and so will the news in it.

Letters to the Editor Students should consider using city buses instead
In reading Wednesday's Kansan article concerning the crowded KU buses ("Packed Daisy Hill buses cause safety concerns"), I'm wondering why students can't catch the new city T bus that goes right through the campus to Daisy Hall. It would be worth the cost (50 cents) not to have to wait for their packed bus or not to be passed up by already full one. Now they can buy a $5 book of tickets for 10 rides, eliminating the task of finding the right change.

Story about sign language fails to understand changes
The author (and the headline writer) of the article on changes to American Sign Language ("Revising sign language," Feb. 6) does not appear to have an understanding of the concept of political correctness. This lack of understanding does a disservice to the recent changes in sign language.
Politically correct language attempts to avoid offense by muddling language through the use of non-specific phrases. "Visually challenged" is a good example. The purpose of this ambiguous phrase was to avoid the word "blind" and therefore help blind people feel better. The lack of specificity confuses the issues.
My vision is 20/900. Am I visually challenged? Yes. Am I blind? No. In order for "visually challenged" to stand in for "blind" (a specific, descriptive word), we all have to agree that the former is the same as the latter.
The changes to sign language are in opposition to politically correct language. Instead of one sign to indicate both Japan and China, there are now two signs. This change provides accuracy, clarity and specificity. (The sign for China is the sign the Chinese use and now is in use in many forms of sign language.) I would add that the concepts of courtesy and respect towards other cultures and peoples existed before the political correctness movement, even if too few people took them to heart. Specificity and accuracy is what speakers, and writers, of any language should strive for.

Student Senate should leave campus safety to the experts
In her column in Friday's Kansan ("University, not students, should bear cost of safety"), Jayme Ascheneyer, a student senator states that the University administration, not students, should have to pay for students' safety, and she criticizes Student Senate for approving the new Campus Safety Fee.
Although I agree with many of her points, there are a few other important points that Aschemever does not mention.
As she says, students have been paying a Campus Lighting Fee for nine years to put up lights and blue phones on campus. The new fee will continue this, but the fee's sponsors say it also may fund such absurd uses of student money as fire alarms, card scanners for entrance to residence halls, and "safety fact sheets." Perhaps the proposal I found most offensive was using student fees to put surveillance cameras in parking lots. Besides being the first step toward an Orwellian dystopia, this clearly could be paid for by the Parking Department or the Public Safety Office.
When I say it is ridiculous for "student fees" to be used to pay for safety, what do I mean? Every semester we pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $230 in fees, in addition to tuition. These fees are administered by Student Senate and pay for student services, such as the health center, recreation center, KJHK, the Kansan and Legal Services for Students. In my opinion, student fees are not intended to fund basic human needs such as safety.
I would like to echo Aschemeyer's criticism of Student Senate as well. In the past, Senate's primary role has been to allocate and oversee, through itself and its boards and committees, millions of dollars in student fee money each year. Senate's other functions include working to provide input on the campus, local, and state levels on all sorts of issues that pertain to students, as well as providing student and community services like the KU on Wheels bus system and the Center for Community Outreach.
Now Senate's role has been expanded to make it some sort of safety patrol. No longer content with advising where lights and blue phones should go, some student senators want to finance and oversee all aspects of campus safety. That should be left to the full-time administrators and officials in the University's Public Safety Office. Even if this new student fee could assure student safety on campus (it can't), I, as a senator, do not want Senate to get in the business of overseeing the safety of its constituents. We're not qualified to do it, and there are a lot of other important things we can do for students instead, things that don't already have University departments that oversee them.
Finally, I would like to say I was disgusted with the manner in which this fee was passed. The fee's sponsors convinced the Student Rights Committee that they or their friends would be raped if they did not vote for this bill (as if lights or cameras could stop rapes, which almost always occur inside residence halls).
The scare tactics were a success: One girl voted against the bill. And in the full Senate, during the roll call vote, senators seemed to forget they were voting on implementing a new campus fee that would effect all students for the next several years. In addition to the standard
"yeat" and "nay" votes, we have a dozen or so "sure, why not," I guess," "ah, who cares" and the like. I applaud Aschemeyer's willingness to speak out on this important issue, despite the overwhelming opposition she faces among fellow senators. I hope students, especially now that it is close to Senate election time, will pay close attention to issues such as this and let senators know how they feel.

Opponents of partial-birth abortion use scare tactics
John McCool's Thursday column ("Partial-birth abortion can happen") was offensive, ignorant and representative of the stereotypical male conservative point of view.
This "monstrous act of medical malpractice" is not the aggressive avenue of abortion choice McCool makes it out to be. It is not as if there are "motley" hordes of women running around begging physicians to use the procedure described through McCool's use of graphic, intimidating language.
In fact, this procedure is one that is very hesitantly used by the medical field, and a scapegoat at that, for the entire abortion issue. McCool infers this procedure is being used constantly, but this assertion makes no logical sense. The further along a woman is in her pregnancy, the more dangerous it becomes to remove the fetus as well as the more reluctant the medical field is for doing so — hence the fact that most abortions are performed only during the first trimester, and any abortions after that are to save the life of the mother.
Get a grip, McCool. Your snippy inaccurate "facts" are nothing more than scare tactics scraped off the anti-abortion smokescreen.

Laura Bush wasn't elected, shouldn't act as if she was
This letter is in response to Sheri Martin's column ("First Lady sends status of women back to 1950s." Thursday).
Ms. Martin, I read the article about Hillary Clinton you're referring to, and I agree: It was terrible. The author didn't present a single fact or worthwhile idea. But that was bad comedy; this is serious politics.
When you say that the writers of the Constitution were interested in "keeping the status quo," you're presenting the worst kind of revisionist history. If these white men were rich under the old system, why would they change it? Why would they throw out the existing monarchy for a popular democracy?
Many signers of the Declaration of Independence died at the hands of the British. Many others had their property totally
destroyed. And what's more, the Constitution had tremendous popular support when it was adopted. (In fact, most of the people who opposed it thought that it granted the government too much power!) Let's keep it straight: Socialism was a reaction against capitalism and not vice versa.
But the main point of Thursday's article was that Laura Bush should take a more active role in the presidency. The problem is, the people didn't vote for Laura; they voted for George. Laura didn't have to collect signatures, debate openly or win people's votes; she just married the guy who did. To say the first lady should have strong political power just because of her relationship to the president is a dangerous swipe at democracy. Put it this way: If a woman were elected president, would you expect her husband to swoop in, and usurp some of her power?

Supreme Court commits errors; Roe v. Wade was one of them
I am writing in response to Clay McCusimion's column ("Abortion issue offers no new perspective," Monday). He mentions "even if one doesn't believe in abortion rights, the Supreme Court repeatedly has supported their existence." He goes on to say, "We can no longer assume that because something is legal and accepted by many that it will remain free from the brutal, excess attacks of others."
I'd like to remind Clay of a time when his champion of morality, the Supreme Court, had a firm stance on another issue that was "legal and accepted": the peculiar institution known as slavery. That 1857 decision, Dred Scott v. Sanford, denied citizenship to Blacks; thankfully, the 14th Amendment corrected the Court's mistake. Again, in 1866, the Supreme Court ruled "separate but equal" racial segregation was "legal and accepted." As we all know, they reversed their grievous wrong with a 1964 case from our very own Kansas, Brown v. Board of Education of Topeka. For 58 years, the Supreme Court stood behind this ruling, despite resistance from civil rights groups that gave rise to the likes of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Sorry, Clay, but I just can't say that King was guilty of brutal and excessive attacks on something as "acceptable" as racial discrimination.
We challenge these issues because we believe the law is not always right. And as I've shown, the Supreme Court's "law" has often been wrong; *Roe v. Wade* is only the most recent case in a history of legal misinterpretation.
We would be one step closer toward fixing the problem if former President Clinton hadn't twice vetoed a bill banning partial birth abortions — a bill that passed 99-1 in the Senate. I guess it just goes to show that one man and nine judges acting with the highest authority in the land still can't tell right from wrong.

Law squad to argue at moot court competition
By Michelle Ward writer at kansasan Kansan staff writer
A building was blown up in a foreign country, and you must prove your country wasn't responsible for the terrorist attack.
James Smith, Lawrence second-year law student, will face this scenario and others this weekend when he and four other KU law students compete in the Jessup International Law Moot Court Competition.
The tournament in Iowa City, Iowa, will feature 12 to 14 law schools battling for a spot at the international tournament in Washington, D.C., in April. The KU squad has argued past its competitors for the last three years to earn a position at the international finals.
The moot court gives law students an opportunity to polish their courtroom skills. They must prepare written briefs before the event and then expound on them during oral arguments.
Law professors critique students' cases, helping future professionals gain practical experience. This year's topic covers international law of the sea and terrorism.
"This particular event teaches you professional skills," said Mikas Kalinauskas, a Vilnius, Lithuania, second-year law student and team coach. "It improves your writing and oral arguments. It's an enormous opportunity to learn about international law. The learning curve is a very high one."
Kalinauskas was a member of previous KU teams and now helps coach.
The squad must succeed in four preliminary rounds before reaching the final rounds. The team must show it can respond to either side of the case. Two teammates from the University will argue one side of the case for two rounds with the help of a third teammate; Then two other team members will argue the opposing side, with the help of a third, for the remaining two preliminary rounds.
"It a very interesting topic with lots of different issues," said Matt Flannigan, a St. Marys third-year law student. "It has given us great law exposure to international law."

Theater group to perform in Belgium
By Andrew Davies

Kanson staff writer
Six University of Kansas theater students will represent the University and the United States at a theater festival in Belgium.
The students and Jack Wright, director and professor of theater and film, will leave Saturday, Feb. 24 for Liege, Belgium to perform in the International University Theatre Meeting.
The festival lasts from Feb. 26 to March 4, and is the first trip to the festival for a campus group since 1995. The group has a standing invitation to attend whenever it wants. Wright said.
The festival pays all costs of the trip except for a plane ticket. Students buy their own ticket, which costs about $500.
KU's group is the only group
from the United States. Fifteen other countries will be represented at the festival.
Gina Grad, Overland Park senior, said the trip would be an enriching experience.
"Aside from the missing school part, I'm very excited and I'm really looking forward to meeting all the kids from foreign countries," she said.
Aaron Champion, Lawrence sophomore, said the trip would be unique.
"It's a wonderful experience to see theater from public colleges all around the world." he said.
Wright said the students would watch the other plays and travel to other Belgium cities like Brussels and Bruge.
The students will perform An American Medley at the Liege Festival.
An American Medley contains
four short plays: The Loveliest Afternoon of the Year, This Property is Condemned, Time Flies, and Desire, Desire, Desire.
The KU delegation will perform March 3.
"I think that it's a nice compliment to be able to perform on the last day," Wright said.
Grad said the KU group's performance slot was prestigious and he hoped the group would represent the United States well.
But Wright said the University trousse would not feel any pressure.
"It's more of a festival atmosphere as opposed to a competition," he said. "We don't have any sense of competition."
Before leaving, students will perform "An American Medley" at 7:30 p.m. from Thursday to Saturday at the Inge Theatre in Murphy Hall.

Dean's work helps young democracy prepare for election
By Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Diana Carlin recently took a trip across the ocean and back in time to Benin, a tiny, underdeveloped country in West Africa that is hanging onto big ideas — namely its freedom.
100
As it nears its third free democratic election in history, the nation faces problems with voter information and logistics. Carlin, dean of international programs, returned Saturday from a five-day trip to Benin, where she volunteered for the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs, helping resolve some of those problems.
"Despite being a small, poor and relatively obscure country in West Africa, Benin became a very important experiment in
Carlin: helped prepare West African country for election
democracy starting in 1890," said Leonardo Villalon, associate professor of political science and African politics.
Carlin helped plan voter education events and political debates leading to Benn's Sunday, March 4, presidential election. Carlin said it was important that all 18 candidates' voices be heard.
"It is such a poor country, and there is a shortage of equipment," Carlin said. "The television stations didn't have enough cameras to cover the campaign trail and the newspaper at the same time."
Working with non-governmental agencies, Carlin assisted in forming strategies to prepare the public, candidates and media for the debates. Carlin, who has been involved in U.S. presidential debates, said she was caught off-guard by differences in the media's role in the Benin political scene.
"In order to be on the nightly news, you have to pay the media to attend an event," Carlin said.
Candidates also have a short time to get their names to the approximately 6 million residents of Benin. Campaigning starts Friday — just 17 days before the election.
Anne Merydith-Wolf, program coordinator for the office of international programs, said Carlin's experience helped both the people of Benin and the University.
"Personally, I think it is a really amazing experience for Dr. Carlin to get this chance to share her expertise," Merydith-Wolf said.

Chocolate may do a body good

Kansan staff writer
Chocolate may be sweet for your heart, according to a new study.
The study yet to be published by Penny Kris-Etherton, distinguished professor of nutrition at Pennsylvania State University, shows that chocolates can have some protective effects on the heart.
Kris-Etherthon conducted the study with 25 subjects who were given 35 grams of dark chocolate and cocoa powder every day. The results of the study showed that chocolate indeed may help the heart.
Russell & Blossom
"We have found that antioxidant in chocolate may increase HDL levels which are good for your heart," she said. "Chocolate also keeps 'bad' LDL cholesterol levels in the blood from getting oxidized."
A new study says chocolate may be beneficial to the heart. Doctors warn it should be consumed in moderation, however, because it is high in calories. Photo by Aaron Lindberg/KANSAN

Myra Strother, chief of staff at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said she was not familiar with the study, which was

the first of its kind.
Colleen Donaldson, Leawood sophmore, said chocolate helped her mood.
"I eat a lot of chocolate," she said. "It is a caffeine kick which puts me in a better mood."
But Kris-Etherthon said chocolate should be consumed in moderation.
"Don't eat too much chocolate because chocolate has calories," she said. "But now you don't have to feel guilty for enjoying chocolate on occasion."
Katherine Marchin, Manhattan junior, said she was convinced of the truth of Etherton's study.
"I think anything that tastes so good has to be good for you as long as it is in moderation," she said.

In case of wallet theft, call card companies
By Lauren Brandenburg
Kansan staff writer
Kelly Derks said she was lucky the first time her wallet was stolen, but not so lucky the second time.
Derks, Lenexa sophomore, said officers returned her wallet the morning after it was stolen the first time. The second time, she noticed her purse had four different credit cards, her driver's license and cash missing at 1 a.m. while she celebrated New Year's in the Westport area of Kansas City, Mo.
By 9 a.m. New Year's Day, one of the credit cards was maxed out at its $1,000 limit, Derks said, and she knew none of the purchases were hers.
Sgt. Mike Patrick of the Lawrence Police Department said police encouraged people to contact credit card holders immediately to let them know a card has been lost or stolen.
Visa and Mastercard Web sites encourage cardholders to contact their financial institutions immediately when a card is missing. Visa advises card holders to keep a copy of their financial institution's name, customer service number and their Visa account number separate from the card.
Patrick said it was helpful if people whose wallets had been stolen called the credit card company before coming to the police station to make a report.
"They can tell the person where the card was last used," Patrick said. "It helps if they can tell us that the card was used three times in Toopea or something like that."
Pattrick said it was common for people to leave a wallet or purse in a grocery cart or to lay it on a table or chair at a bar and discover it missing later.
"They can't say it was stolen, but it was picked up where it was left," Patrick said. Students often make these reports to the department, he said.
“It’s very common,” he said. “Most of the time we get that someone lost it somewhere or left their backpack unattended.”
Jill Kleihnanz, Emporia sophomore, said she left her wallet on top of her car and drove away before she realized what had happened. When she went back to find it, someone had picked it up.
but all credit cards missing. The difficulty with checks being inside the wallet is that people can forge them, and some stores still don't ask for an ID when someone writes a check, Patrick said.
Patrick said sometimes people turned in wallets they found to the police department intact, and other times with an ID inside
Derks said the first time her wallet was stolen, police knocked on her door at 6 a.m. because her car was one in a string of cars that had been vandalized. When they knocked on her door to talk with her about her car, they had already caught the suspect and recovered the items stolen from her car.
The second time, this New Year's Eve, she never got any of the items back, although she said homeowner's insurance would cover part of the cost.
"Now when I go out, I don't carry my coat or purse or anything with me," Derks said. "I carry cash and my ID. That's it. When I lock my car, I don't keep anything in there."
Pattrick said drivers needed to have a license with them at all times. If a person's license is stolen, he advised the person to file a police report and ask the officer who takes the report to write the report number on a business card in case the person is pulled over before being able to obtain a new license.

romantic pathetic lessons in lyrical love
by ryan m. devlin * kansan senior staff writer
n
early everyone has written or received love poetry. Often, that poetry is a noble and pure expression of humanity's crowning emotion. Just as often, however, our attempts at love poetry are just plain bad.
A Proto-Mock Elizabethan Love Lyric (for you my sweet...) by Ryan Devlin
It was in a moment of definitive serendipity that, after having just been assigned a story on love poetry for the Kansan, I found a poem. It was unsigned, folded neatly, and sitting under a desk in a classroom. The poem began:
"Something's gone wrong/I can't help but think/Emotions refuse/To show up on ink./This is the last/Poem I'll ever write For the girl who used/to make all things right..."
The work, entitled "The Last Valentine's Day Poem," went on to profess a lingering and unrequited love for a woman who had left the author four years ago.
The poem, for all its attempts at genuine emotion, ultimately failed. Rather than trusting his inner voice, the poet's emotions seemed to take a back seat to lines like: "Four years have passed / And, as all things must/ Her love for me / Has turned to dust."
"Love poetry is the language of the purser," said Patrick Hennessy, Kansas City, Kan., senior and self-professed amateur poet. Hennessy, who counts "No Second Troy" by William Butler Yeats as his favorite love poem, said that most people, and particularly men, had trouble expressing their feelings of love outright. He said they often used poetry as a somewhat distanced outlet for their emotions.
"Part of wooing a girl is telling her how you feel in a unique and honest kind of way," Hennessy said, "and poetry is the perfect mode for that."
So what separates good love poetry from bad love poetry? What is it that compels us to express our love in the language of poetry, regardless of our experience or knowledge of the genre? What should be embraced or avoided when penning a lyrical ode to the one you love? These are the questions I put to my interviewees.
Hennessy said that most of his experiments with love poetry were done in adolescence and that he stopped writing love poetry altogether when he realized how "cheesy" he was being.
Mickey Arumedo, Lawrence sophomore and veteran of the local poetry jam circuit, said that he had both written and received bad love poetry.
both written.
love poetry.
"Most love poetry is really bad," Argumedo said. "Love involves ignoring flaws in the beloved or in the self, but unfortunately most love poetry is horribly unrealistic and horribly flawed."
Argumedo said it was hard to ignore the flaws in love poetry.
"Most bad love poetry is stunted in form or in length."
Argumedo said.
"It's clichéd — talk of roses, perfection, singing, stars in your eyes— all
I never dreamed a dream so sweet,
As the one lay sleeping on your lips.
The mares of night never rode so
hard,
As they did on that night, that
darkest of nights,
That they trampled on
me as you whispered,
"goodbye."

these things should be avoided.
Brian Daldorph, assistant professor of English and editor of the Coal City Review,
agreed with Argumedo.
*www.trygve.com/loveguppy.html
A strange page to say the least, but the home of quite possibly the world's best bad love poem, "Love Guppy" by Sam Jones.
“It’s so easy to fall into the trap of repeating the old oliches about love or trying to rewrite Shakespeare’s sonnets, or producing Hallmark platitudes about how much you love that special someone,” Daldorp said.
Daldorph pointed to the work of Kansas City poet Thomas Zwil Wilson as exemplary of what he considered good contemporary love poetry. Daldorph said Wilson's work was very real and specific in contrast to Hallmark's sing-songiness and cliched superficiality.
So what compels us to put pen to paper at the first feeling of love? Argumed, who counts A.E. Housman's "Tell me not here, it needs not saying" amongst his favorite love poems, said he started writing poetry because of his love for a particular girl 20 years ago, but now he writes poetry for her sake.
"You don't know all the answers to what you're feeling. Love is something you're constantly trying to figure out, and poetry is something you can use, if you're honest in terms of what you put on the page, to help you figure it out."
Megan McHenry
Lawrence resident
and poetry jam
veteran
Megan McHenry, Lawrence resident and also a veteran of local poetry jams, said that her first forays into love poetry were trivially inspired.
"They were inspired by the little poetry blurs in the back of Seventeen magazine," McHenry said. "Things like 'love sucks, yeah that's right, to me love really bites.' They were really awful."
McHenry said she had since learned to control her art, and in the process of writing love poems, discovered the key to success.
"The truth is always best," McHenry said. "You don't know all the answers to what you're feeling. Love is something you're constantly trying to figure out, and poetry is something you can use, if you're honest in terms of what you put on the page, to help you figure it out."
McHenry said that she admired Pablo Neruda's "20 Love Poems and a Song of Despair" for their honesty and sensuality.
Ryan Burns, Kansas City, Mo., senior, who writes under the pen name R&B, has a different take on what constitutes good love poetry.
"Bad love poetry is either poetic masturbation or tries too hard to appeal to the multitudes," he said. "Good love poetry, in contrast, finds an intermediary between trying to speak for the masses and mere self-indulgence."
Burns added, "Good love poetry has a center of gravity, and floating around that center of gravity is a
you and an I."
Hennessy said that he wasn't sure what separated good love poetry from bad love poetry but that he knew the difference immediately upon hearing it. He said that he had recently met a woman while on vacation in Atlanta who shared with him some poems she had written to an ex-boyfriend.
"I could barely stand to listen to them," Hennessy said. "They were awful. I wanted to tell her the truth about them, but I couldn't hurt her feelings. She takes her poetry very seriously."
Indeed, one of the risks of sharing a love poem is the risk of the person it is written for finding it awful. Fear of rejection is one of the reasons that most love poetry is never shared, but is instead stashed in notebooks or folders and buried amongst private collections of memorabilia. McHenry said she thought it was important to share what you write with the one you love.
"It's definitely a risk worth taking," she said.
McHenry said she recently read a poem she wrote to a man she met in Oregon, and that the reading was a huge success. "It was scary at first, but after I读它 to him and I saw his response, all my fears just melted into oblivion," McHenry said. Hennessy agreed with McHenry that love poetry, good or bad, should be shared with the person it is written for. "There's a sense of accomplishment and satisfaction to it. You hope that they keep it and that it means something to them," Hennessy said. "There's this one poem that I wrote to this girl when I was sixteen. If I found out that she still had it, man that would really make me feel good."
Devlin is a senior staff writer for
the Kansan. He first attempted poetry at age 15. The poem he wrote for the girl who left him for his best friend was "horrible." He can be contacted at features@kansan.com.

To believe in the dream;
to believe in the predestined existence of
soulmates
is to fly in the face of
all that is wicked and real...
That screaming reality which shakes
your soul
and slaps every moment out of
your face
and disjointed time;
A dream, a dream, good for
a spinster's small books
and Hallmark greet-
ings, but something
which makes you
awake
alone and
unloved.

Athletes give their best love advice
"Roses are red,
Violets are blue, We Valentines Day
It's Valentine's Day.
So what should I do?"
If the romantic prose you're cooking up for your honey sounds similar to the one above, then let's face it — you're no Casanova.
But even if your plans for this evening still have something missing, there's no need to worry. Help is on the way. I'll admit, I'm not "Dear Abby," and Ann Landers can write circles around me when it comes to dishing out relationship advice, but I do have some friends who might be of service.
I've stolen a few pages from the playbooks of several Jayhawk athletes, and with any luck, their love advice will aid you in last minute Valentine's Day planning. So here's a look at some memorable Valentine's Days courtesy of your favorite 'Hawks on the Hill:
"Id just gotten back from a baseball trip to Arizona, and I tried to call my girlfriend but she wasn't home," he said. "I was disappointed that she wasn't there, but when I got back to my place she was waiting for me there. She cooked me dinner, and we stayed in and watched a movie together. That was definitely a great Valentine's Day surprise."
Senior pitcher Pete Smart is the ace of Bobby Randall's rotation on the Kansas baseball squad. Smart is rarely away from the pitcher's mound this time of year, which makes Valentine's celebrations a little difficult. Despite his busy Februarys, Smart got a pretty special surprise a couple years ago on Valentine's Day.
Another Jayhawk pitcher has a fond memory of Valentine's day. Junior Dan Olson, however, was on the other end of this unexpected treat. Last year Olson surprised his girlfriend with a fish tank full of some very special fish.
"They were Valentine's Day fish because they were angel fish, and she's my angel," he said.
The gift was a big hit with Olson's girlfriend, who happens to play for the Kansas softball team. His girlfriend is junior second baseman Amy Hulse, and she thought his surprise was the best she had ever seen.
"Dan's gift was the best ever because it wasn't traditional," Hulse said. "It was definitely not your typical gift of flowers. I loved it."
- Another Jayhawk second baseman has a different take on flowers when it comes to Valentine gifts. Sophomore Casey Spanish said roses were the key to a romantic holiday evening.
"You've got to go all-out and spend at least $40 on roses," he said. "Roses with a card and a nice dinner make for a great night with your valentine."
Hanni is a Topeka junior in journalism
kansas junior point guard Selena Scott said candy was the quickest way to a girl's heart. Life is not like a box of chocolates for Selena though she prefers Tropical Starburst as her Valentine's Day treat of choice. Selena also has some advice to share on what singles should do on Valentine's Day.
"When you're alone on Valentine's Day, you have to treat yourself the way you'd want somebody to treat you," she said. "I go out to dinner with the other single girls or go shopping and buy myself something."
Scott's backcourt mate on the women's basketball team is senior Jennifer Jackson, who also had some suggestions for making this Valentine's Day a memorable one.
"It doesn't matter how much you spend,
"it's special so long as you put a whole lot of
thought into it," she said. "Plus, it's great to
be surprised out of the blue."
So there you have it. Some tips for a Valentine's Day to remember from some pretty interesting Jayhawk athletes. If after hearing their stories, you're still banking on getting those tiny candy hearts that say "Be My Icon," then I guess you're beyond help.
As for my own advice, I'd say that whatever you decide to do, make sure it comes from the heart and you can't go wrong. And if all else fails, go with the tank full of angel fish.

'Drew'-or-die
Whether Gooden returns could define Kansas' season

They may not want to admit it, but the success of the Kansas Jayhawks' season may rest inside the cast of Drew Gooden's right hand.

The 'Hawks announced Saturday the sophomore forward would be out for three games, but there is no guarantee he will be back for a home game against Colorado on Feb. 21.
"They may decide to put (the cast) back on or they may decide that it will be fine," Kansas coach Roy Williams said. "The doctors will make that decision."
After Saturday's victory against Oklahoma State, everything seemed like it would be fine. The 'Hawks won without Gooden, the Big 12 Conference leader in double-doubles, and were poised to take control of the top spot in the conference standings with a victory against Iowa State on Saturday.
The Bears slapped a 25-point lead on the 'Hawks at halftime of an 85-77 victory — Baylor's first against the Javahays in school history.
But those shoes weren't filled when the Jayhawks were sidedwins by Bavlor on Monday night in Waco, Texas.
"I'm not the team," Gooden said after the victory against the Cowboys. "We have guys who can pick it up and fill my shoes."
Although it wouldn't be fair to say Gooden is the entire team, he is argably the most consistent post player the 'Hawks have. He ranks 10th in the conference in scoring, with 15.6 points a game, and is third in rebounding at 8.4.
Gooden has paced the Jayhawks in scoring eight times this season, and has led the team in rebounds nine times.
The Jayhawks were able to survive without Gooden on Saturday against the Cowbies. Williams challenged all of the Jayhawks to step up and fill the hole left by Gooden, and the Jayhawks responded to beat the Cowbies 77-61.
But the Jayhawks desperately missed Gooden's presence in the lineup Monday night. Kansas senior center Eric Chenowith had one of his best efforts of the season against Oklahoma State, scoring 17 points and pulling down 12 rebounds in 37 minutes. But against Baylor, Chenowith was nonexistent. He tallied just four points, four rebounds and had four turnovers in just 26 minutes.
Earlier this season against Wake Forest, the Jayhawks ran into a similar predicament when they were without the services of senior forward Kenny Gregory, and went on to lose 84-53 to the Demon Deacons.
"We talked about what happened at Wake Forest and how it sort of deflated us," Williams said. "And I challenged them to make sure that didn't happen."
Despite the 'Hawks not having Gooden, Williams said he would not use that as an excuse for any losses that occurred in his absence.
"I told them there's nothing we can do about it," he said. "If we win or lose, they're not going to say in the paper 'They lost, but the poor little old guys, they didn't have Drew Gooden'. It's going to go down as a win or a loss." — Edited by Sutton Wallace

Jayhawks beating themselves
Women have shown flashes of greatness, but must stay focused

The Kansas women's basketball team has found ways of taking itself out of close games through turnovers, missed shots and failed opportunities. And in tonight's 7:05 match with No. 14 Texas Tech (18-4, 9-2 Big 12) in Allen Fieldhouse, Kansas (9-13, 3-8) looks to overcome its self-inflicted setbacks with a complete team effort.
The Big 12 Conference is tough this season — five teams are ranked in the Top 25. But, despite their opponents, the Jayhawks' greatest battle has become overcoming themselves.
"We shoot ourselves in the foot," junior guard Selena Scott said. "It's not that our opponents are so good, it's that we have mental lapses at the wrong times. We've just got to play 40 minutes."
And tonight, it will take a 40-minute effort from the 'Hawks to sneak by the Lady Raiders, a team that has.won. as many games in the conference as the 'Hawks have all season.
"I've been very fortunate in that I know that every game they will come back and they will find a way to get out there and put their best on the line," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "There's not a lot of teams that will do that."

Don't count the Jayhawks out just yet. They have shown moments of greatness in each game this season — moments that prove they should not be taken lightly.
Kansas led by nine at the half Saturday against Missouri, hung tough with No. 19 Colorado, and swept Kansas State. Kansas also upended No. 21 Texas and defeated No. 24 Illinois earlier this season.
An upset tonight is not out of the ques-
"We're getting better for the most part, for about 85 percent of the game, but we lose games in that 15 percent we're not performing well," senior forward Jaclyn Johnson said. "We've got to have someone out there who's going to take care of the ball and run the team."
but the Jayhawks will have to stay disciplined and not panic. When the clock is running down and the game is on the line, Kansas has a tendency to lose control.
tion.
Senior forward Brooke Reves, senior guard Jennifer Jackson and Johnson have led the team throughout the season. Johnson averages a team-high 16.5 points and 7.6 reboundss, Reves adds 14.2 points and 7.4 boards, and Jackson chips in another 10.4 points.
Statistics aside, the seniors will add much needed experience in tonight's game against a youthful Texas Tech team.
Texas Tech, who recorded its second conference loss this season to Texas 63-57 on Saturday, has only one senior, guard Katrina O'Neal, who averages 11.3 points. But freshman guard Jia Perkins and sophomore forward Plenette Pierson lead the team, scoring 13.3 points each.
Even in the midst of all the backsacks the Jayhawks have encountered this season, self-inflicted or not, they are not backing down from anyone and are ready for tonight's challenge.
"When you're playing in a great conference like this is would be very easy to fold up and have all the excuses in the world." Washington said. "But this team is not like that. It would be nice for them to get a couple more wins because they fight so hard."

Building the perfect athlete, Cosmo style
If you're a guy, skip to the end of this column. And if you're a girl, you'll probably have a big smile on your face soon.
Now, I'm not bringing back the Joneseys from the dead; those are gone and graduated with former Kansan sports columnist Seth Jones. Thankfully.
In honor of Valentine's Day, when no real man can live up to a girl's expectations, I'm creating the perfect male specimen — Cosmo style. Athletic ability along with eye-candy potential was taken into account to judge my six favorite body parts: eyes, smile, abs, arms, hands and derriere.
Now before you judge me for watching sports merely for the tight rear ends, you're half right. I like the bulging biceps, too.
So here we go from head to toe — I tried to diversify my selections, so a plethora of sports were represented. Sorry, no college athletes; they still have a few more years of maturing to do.
Eyes — Colorado Avalanche center Joe Sakic's baby blues always warm up the ice rink. Because of his cumbersems helmet, the only visible part of Joe's face is his eyes, which scorch through his hockey visor.
While leading the team in shots and points, No. 19 wasn't able to will his team past those pesky Dallas Stars in last season's Western Conference Finals. But Joe is still number one in my heart.
Smile — My secret boyfriend, retired Chicago Bulls forward Michael Jordan, has a smile that can make a woman's knees buckle with one glance.
He led the now-dilapidated Bulls to six NBA championships in the 1990s and still continues to influence young players by owning the Washington Wizards. Those pearly whites are absolutely perfect, just like the final jump shot he took against the Utah Jazz in the 1998 NBA Finals.
Abs — Boxer Oscar De La Hoya's ripling stomach muscles are perfect to wash clothes on — I've always wanted my own personal washboard.
He, recently lost his welterweight title last June, but don't worry. His new Latin CD was recently nominated for a Grammy — resulting in more TV time for the stud with the mean left hook. Even though I'm not too keen on chest hair, he can be my Latin lover any day.
One good thing about the All-Star shortstop's signing with Texas is that A-Rod will be around warmer weather. Translation: more tank tops. How about a hug?
**Arms** — Texas Rangers shortstop Alex Rodriguez and his guns were purchased for $252 million — that's thousands of dollars for each tiny bicep. Scrumptious.
Hands — Cart driver Dario Franchitti handles thousands of RPM daily as a driver for Team KOOL. He had seven wins and nine pole positions last year, and tied with fellow hottie Juan Montoya as the points leader. This Scotsman can handle those deadly curves with ease.
Butt — Kansas City Chiefs tight end Tony Gonzalez snapped 93 receptions last season and in the process caught my attention.
His position says it all — and the white pants are just a bonus to watching him leap through the air. Throw in a Pro Bowl nid a few weeks ago, and Tony G got my vote, too.
So that's my perfect guy from head to toe. Nothing like a little reverse sexism to brighten a girl's day.
Guys, start reading again. If you feel you can fill these slots, e-mail the sports desk, and I'll be the judge. And girls, happy hunting.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 14).
Let go of a burden with the help of good friends, and continue your metamorphosis into the person you've always wanted to be. Resolve the past, but don't dwell on it in February. Love inspires compassionate action in April. Do dormant in May, and you'll blossom in June. In July, you can best serve yourself by serving others. Review your strategy in August. Study from September through October to prepare for an exam in November. By December, you may hardly recognize yourself. Celebrate by doing something you've long dreamed about in January.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
Your team may need more money to achieve its objective. Break the piggy bank and add up your pennies. If you still don't have enough, don't give up. Just pray for another miracle, and open up your mind to let the right idea pop in.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Somebody who's been lording over you is in for a few surprises. You and your partner could gang up on this person and present an objection that's been overlooked. You're right, of course, so you can afford to be gracious.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
Figure out what might go wrong, and have a backup plan ready. Don't cram too many things into too little time — that's just an accident waiting to happen.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
You and your sweetheart or child should get together to work on your budget. You'll find there not as much money as the other person thought, and that's the point you were trying to get across.
**leo** (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 7.
Your project could come to a grinding halt, but don't worry about the reasons why. This mess isn't your fault, which is why you're in such a good mood. Help others stay optimistic, and they'll think of something.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Today is a 5.
Be prepared to run into technical difficulties. Make copies of everything. A glitch would not only be annoying, but it could throw you off schedule.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct 22) — Today is a 7.
A family conversation could turn ugly once money becomes the topic. The energy level is high because you and the other person care deeply. You're good at being objective if it's someone else's problem. This time, it will help if you can just say "no" — and mean it.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5.
It's your duty to point out all the things wrong with a household plan. Or, this could be about real estate.
If you're in escrow, for example, you're finding out what the seller forgot to mention. Be thorough.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
There are a few surprises today, not all of them pleasant. Some of your assumptions could be challenged. Just because things have always been a certain way doesn't mean that's the way they are now. Be flexible.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 4.
Put off a tough financial decision a little while longer. Don't buy something you're not sure about. You might discover something much better tomorrow or the next day. Keep shopping.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
Be willing and eager to fix errors, because somebody is apt to find one. Thank that person for pointing it out to you, and you'll avoid an embarrassing situation. Keep a promise you made to a dear friend.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 5.
Don't forget the car keys, the theater tickets, your wallet, your camera, the mail, or the list of things you need to buy. You need a checklist to remember your checklists. It would be bad to go somewhere only to realize you've forgiven something essential.

The increased air pressure makes the air around the balloon more dense than the surrounding air. As the balloon is inflated, the air inside the balloon decreases in pressure, causing the balloon to rise. Once the balloon is deflated, the air outside the balloon becomes less dense and the balloon沉落到地面.
2. When a water bottle is placed under a pot of water, the water inside the pot will rise to the surface. This happens because of the decrease in atmospheric pressure at the top of the water bottle. As the water bottle rises, the atmospheric pressure decreases, allowing the water inside the bottle to be displaced by the pressure difference between the bottom of the bottle and the top of the pot.

Kournikova virus hits Asia with less force
When the user clicks on the attachment, the virus is released, worming its way into address books and sending itself to everyone on the list, clogging e-mail servers.
The latest virus comes as an e-mail attachment named "AnnaKournikova.jpg.vbs" and carries the message "Hi: Check This!".
The bug originated in the Netherlands, said a spokesman for the antivirus company Symantec Corp.
Yesterday, a person who goes by "OnTheFly" posted a claim of responsibility, saying the virus was released as a warning to Internet users who are lax about security.
"I never wanted to harm the people (who) opened the attachment," the person wrote. "But after all: it's their own fault they got infected."
Mikko Hypponen, manager of antivirus research at F-Secure Corp. in Espoo, Finland, believes the message is authentic, but said tying the online identity to a real-world person could be difficult. Furthermore, he said, the Netherlands did not appear to have any law outlawing virus crimes, which could make prosecution tough.

Parnevik looking for repeat of Bob Hope Classic title
The Associated Press
LA QUINTA, Calif. Jesper Parnevik knows a little something about comedy as well as golf. His dad is one of the most popular comedians in Sweden, and he's known to be a bit wacky himself.
There was nothing funny, though, about the way he won the Bob Hope Classic last year. This was more a nail bitter than a belly laugh, with Parnevik needing to rally with a final-hole birdie for his third PGA Tour victory.
The 97-year-old Hope was on hand to watch Parnevik finish a roller-coaster round and beat Rory Sabbatini by a shot. Hope plans to be back this year to see the 42nd classic unfold on four area golf courses.
The 90-hole event begins tomorrow in the rain-soaked desert, with four rounds of pairings of celebrities and other amateurs before the final round on Sunday at the
This year's event is missing some of golf's biggest names, with Tiger Woods, Davis Love III and Phil Mickelson among those taking the week off. But the 71-year-old Palmer will be on hand for a rare PGA Tour appearance, and everyone will be paying homage to Hope.
Arnold Palmer Private Course at PGA West.
"Bob Hope was one of my father's favorite comedians," Parnevik said. "Even though I am too young, my dad always said he was one of the great spontaneous comedians that we've had."
Parnevik said he hoped to be around at the finish, though his wife's delivery of their fourth child could upset those plans.
"It could happen any day." Paravnev said.
rarnevik returns to the desert still trying to find his form after hip surgery to correct a problem that began bothering him after he won the Byron Nelson Classic last year.
He played the second half of last season, fighting a big hook caused by his inability to get through the ball.
"I could get it around, even hitting 40-yard hooks. I almost won one that way," Parnevik said. "But it was not fun and not the way I wanted to play, so that's why I decided to have the hip surgery."
Parnevik came from off the lead in the final round last year to win. His final-round 65 put him in position, but he wasn't able to light his usual victory cigar until Sabbatini failed to birdie the final hole. The 65 was Parnevik's 11th straight round under par to start the year, but this year has been much different. He has made the cut in only two of four tournaments, something he blames on not doing the little things needed to score.
"I feel strong. I can swing fully. I don't have any restrictions," Parnevik said.

ROLLING THUNDER
'Hawk bowlers take their lanes seriously
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
Cheap beer, cigarette smoke and goofy-looking shoes are a few of the stereotypes associated with bowling.
But those things are nowhere near the Kansas bowling team during weekend tournaments, except maybe the shoes.
Kansas bowlers do sport the same styleless footwear that is a trademark of recreational bowlers. But to them, bowling is more than mere beer-saturated fun. It's a combination of mental prowess and calculated strategy. As Kansas bowling coach Mike Fine said, competitive bowling is a lot like chess: Every move matters, and nothing is left to chance.
"We really preach here that bowling is cause and effect," said Fine, whose Jayhawks are ranked No. 15 in the nation. "There is a reason for everything. We can control everything that happens on the lanes and we can positively affect the outcomes by knowing what's going on."
Recently, the team's calculated strategy has paid off. The men's team rolled past the competition at the Association of College Unionls Intercollegiate bowling tournament last weekend and placed second. The women's team finished third.
One key to the team's success is senior Tom Partridge. Not only does Partridge excel individually, he's relied on to guide bowlers through their inevitable mental struggles. It's a job for the team's most experienced bowler each season, and it's something Partridge has grown accustomed to.
That's one of the things that's expected of me that isn't expected of anyone else," Partridge said. "I like it, actually."
But the most difficult thing for Partridge is fixing his own problems.
"The hard part of my job is when I'm struggling." Partridge said. "Thankfully, my teammates are
really good at figuring out what to do when I'm struggling."
Partridge didn't have to do anything to help sophomore Jesse James during the final game of Notre Dame's Blue and Gold Classic on Jan. 27 and 28.
After struggling through his first eight games in the tournament, James bowled a perfect 300 game—the first in the tournament's four-year history.
"In basketball, it would be like scoring 50 points," James said. "In baseball, it's like giving a grand slam."
James said he thought the lane conditions were perfect for his style throughout the tournament, but problems with his bowling mechanics kept him from high scores in earlier games.
In the last game, James decided to block everything from his mind and relax.
"I felt like the lane was mine if I could make good shots," James said. "I just didn't until the last game."
James, who averages around 210,
will have to wait awhile to see if he
can repeat his performance in the team's next tournament. This weekend's Great Plains Intercollegiate Conference Tournament was canceled yesterday because Iowa State backed out. Six teams are required for a conference tournament to be sanctioned by College Bowling USA,
and, with Iowa State out, it left just five.
"We're disappointed," Fine said. "Especially since we felt we had a good chance of winning our conference. We're not real happy with our friends from Iowa State right now."
Kansas doesn't compete again until March 11, when it plays host to the Jayhawk Classic at the Kansas Union Jaybow.
While another 300 game would be nice, James said he'd rather see the team succeed.
"My goal is to not shoot 300 every game," he said. "My goal is for the team to win. That's most important to me."

Women dominate complete sweep at Jayhawk Classic
The Kansas women's tennis team had something to prove last weekend after an unexpected loss to Southwest Missouri State the previous weekend.
The Jayhawks proved plenty, sweeping the Jayhawk Classic tournament at Alvamar Racquet Club
"It was important to show that we were still a strong program despite the loss to Southwest Missouri State," said Kansas coach Kilmeny Waterman.
KANSAS TENNIS
At No. 66, the Jayhawks
At No. 60, the Jayhawks (4-1) were the highest-ranked team of the five squads competing, and started off the weekend with a 6-0 victory against Louisiana-Monroe.
"Because we were the highest-ranked team of the tournament we expected to win all of our matches," Waterman said.
Winning all three matches during the weekend looked easy. The Jayhawks went 12-1 in singles play and 9-0 in doubles play, and three Kansas freshmen were pivotal to Kansas's success.
Waterman said freshman sisters Courtney and Kristen Steinbock and freshman Emily Haylock all played well during the weekend.
"We had great play in the doubles positions," Waterman said. "Our three freshmen played great, giving us a lot of depth to our lineup."
After sweeping Louisiana-Monroe, the 'Hawks defeated Dake 5-1 on Saturday afternoon.
Junior sisters Cheryl and Lisa Mallaiah and Courtney Steinbock each won straight-set decisions against Drake.
"Drake had played well up until the tournament," Waterman said. "Winning 5-1 was a good way to win the match and regain some confidence."
Kansas completed an unbeaten tear through the Jayhawk Classic by defeating St. Louis 4-0 on Sunday, becoming the only team in the tournament to win all three of its matches.
Senior Monica Sekulov decisively defeated Drake senior Ratasjer Kuruvilla 6-0, 6-1.
"Our strongest aspect about our team is that we have eight players who can play the top six positions." Waterman said.
The Jayhawks will return to action at noon on Saturday in the opener of Big 12 Conference play when they play host to No. 6 Texas at Alvamar Racquet Club.

Gladiator leads pack of Oscar nominees
Top categories shaped up largely as expected, but there were a few surprises. Ed Harris was nominated for best actor and Marcia Gay Harden for supporting actress for Pollock, a film biography of painter Jackson Pollock that generally had been overlooked for earlier movie honors.
Besides Phoenix, supporting-actor slots went to Jeff Bridges for The Contender, Willem Dafoe for Shadow of the Vampire, Benicio Del Toro for Traffic and Albert Finney for Erin Brockovich.
BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. — Hollywood's resurrection of Rome marches on: *Gladiator* led the Oscar field yesterday with 12 nominations, including best picture, actor and director.
Harten will compete for supporting actress against Judi Dench for Chocolat, Kate Hudson and Frances McDormand for Almost Famous, and Julie Walters for Billy Elliot. Dench and McDormand both have won Oscars.
The Associated Press
Julia Roberts is the best-actress front-runner for Erin Brockovich. But her competition may be the strongest among the acting categories, including past Oscar winners Juliette Binoche in Chocolat and Ellen Burynin in Requiem for a Dream. Also nominated are Joan Allen in The Contender and Laura Linney in You Can Count On Me.
Another tale of ancient warriors, the Mandarin-language Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, was next with 10 — picture, director and foreign-language film among them.
Steven Soderbergh grabbed two of the five best-director slots, for *Erin Brockotch* and *Traffic*. The other director nominees yesterday were Stephen Daldry for *Billy Elliot*, Ange Lee for *Crouching Tiger* and Ridley Scott for *Gladiator*.
Also receiving best picture nominations were the candy-shop romance Chocolat, the legal drama Erin Brockovich and the drug-trade saga Traffic.
Crouching Tiger is only the third film to earn both best picture and foreign-language film nominations. The others were Life Is Beautiful in 1998 and Z in 1999.
The best-actor category includes two other nominees who played real-life creative figures. Javier Bardier as Cuban writer Reinaldo Arenas in Before Night Falls, and past Oscar winner Geoffrey Rush as the Marquis de Sade in Quills.
Gladiator, the first Roman spectacle since the 1960s, also grabbed nominations for actor Russell Crowe, supporting actor Joaquin Phoenix and Hans Zimmer's score.
Twotime Oscar winner Tom Hanks was nominated for Cast Away and Cruce Rowe for Gladiator.

Missouri guard's return still unclear
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Suspended guard Clarence Gilbert met with Missouri coach Quin Snyder for the first time Monday since his suspension, and the two were to meet again yesterday, although there was still no timetable for Gilbert's
return to the team
M
"It's not a complex situation. It's just a question of a young man doing the things that all the other players on the team are doing, and
being part of the team."
Snyder suspended Gilbert last week, officially declining to provide a reason. But several reports pegged the suspension on Gilbert's poor attitude toward team play, which included subordination.
Gilbert did not make the Tigers' road trip last weekend to Iowa State, where Missouri lost 72-64. Also missing from that game was swingman Kareem Rush, out for the season because of an injured thumb.
Gilbert's suspension remains indefinite and he did not practice with the team Monday, Snyder said. But Colorado coach Ricardo Patton said he expected Gilbert to play when the Tigers play host to the Buffaloes today.
"Those guys will step up whether Gilbert plays or not," Patton said. "But we fully expect Gilbert to be in the lineup today."
Snyder said he wasn't sure when Gilbert would return to practice.
"There are a number of things that have to be talked about when a player re-enters the group." Snyder said. "The primary one is that player's interaction with his teammates. To me, that is what this is about. It has less to do with a player and a coach than a player and a team."
"If you have a strong relationship with a young man — and I believe that Clarence and I have that, we've been through a lot together — you rely on that relationship to resolve things."
In Gilbert's absence, senior guard Brian Grawer has moved into his role as the team's shooting guard, with freshman Wesley Stokes playing point guard. Grawer has excelled since the switch, scoring 24 points on 8-for-13 shooting from 3-point range against Iowa State.
it's possible Gilbert could move into the small forward role vacated by Rush, if and when he returns to the team.
"That remains to be seen," Snyder said. "What our team's doing right now has been good. The main issue when someone re-enters the team, are they committed to the team? If you come back and you say, What can I do? I just want to make the team better,' those problems take care of themselves."
"I'd rather miss the free throw and take home the "W," Buchanan said.
The miss with 4.6 seconds remaining could have been costly because Georgetown had a chance to tie, but Kevin Braswell missed a 3-pointer at the buzzer.
Buchanan, averaging 13.5 points a game, struggled all night against
Georgetown, making just one of his first six shots and turning the ball over eight times.
The previous Division I record was 64, set by Joe Dykstra of Western Illinois in the 1981-82 season.
Record streak of consecutive free throws ends
"I found myself in a position where I had to take the big shot." Buchanan said, adding he was surprised he wasn't fouled. "I was confident I could hit the 3-pointer even though I wasn't hitting shots all night."
Buchanan's Division I-record streak of consecutive free throws made ended at 73 on Monday, but his 3-pointer in the final minute lifted Villanova to a 59-56 victory against No. 18 Georgetown.
The shot might turn out to be a season-saver for Villanova, which
VILLANOVA, Pa. — Gary Buchanan became a player nobody wanted to foul. Teams now might want to keep him away from the 3-point line, too.
LAWRENCE AUTOMOTIVE DIAGNOSTICS INC.
With Villanova clinging to a two-point lead in the final minute, Buchanan held the ball and waited for a foul. It never came.
So with the shot clock winding down, he launched a crucial 3-pointer from well beyond the arc, giving the Wildcats a 58-53 lead with 17 seconds left.
The sophomore guard is 82-of-84 from the foul line this season and 151-of-158 overall, including a string of 45 straight last year. He fell short of the overall NCAA record of 94 consecutive free throws made, set by Paul Cluxton of Division II Northern Kentucky in the 1996-97 season.

needed a victory to boost its NCAA tournament hopes. The Wildcats (15-8, 6-5 Big East) now have three road victories against conference opponents and are 6-0 in games decided by fewer than 10 points.
The Associated Press
"I think our chemistry is starting to show," Villanova coach Steve Lappas said. "You start to really enjoy playing together and achieving common goals."
The victory was most impressive because the Wildcats had to play nearly the entire game without starting point guard Jermaine Medley and forward Brooks Sales. Medley played just three minutes because of a sore leg and Sales sat out.
"I rushed it." Buchanan said. "I was just too confident."
"We've had a lot of adversity and our kids have done a great job responding to it," Lappas said.

PHOENIX — Wayne Gretzky is a day away from returning to the NHL, this time as an owner.
Gretzky and partner Steve Ellman, a Phoenix developer, were expected to close on the purchase of the Phoenix Coyotes today and finally take control of the team.
The purchase has been in the works for 13 months, and the price could reach $91 million with adjustments after Gretzky's group originally agreed to buy the team from Richard Burke for $87 million. The closing would come a day before the third deadline arrives.
The new owners will take control four weeks before the March 13 trading deadline, an important period when they must decide whether to trade either Keith Tkachuk or Jeremy Roenick, the scoring leaders whose combined salaries make up one-third of the team's $39 million payroll.
Burke barred Gretzky from the
Gretzky set nearly every scoring record in hockey before his
Even with Gretzky added as a partner on May 26, there wasn't enough investor interest. The buyers overshot the first deadline and a second one on Dec. 31, and it took the addition of Phoenix trucking magnate Jerry Moyes a few weeks ago to complete the package.
At that time, Ellman said he wanted to close the day before the Feb. 15 extension ended. Reached at his office yesterday, he declined to comment.
The closing will be a relief to Gretzky and his fans.
Burke plans to close today.
"I haven't heard anything one way or the other, but I wouldn't construe that as negative at all," Burke said. "I've stayed out of it to make it less complicated. If there were any problems I probably would have heard, but I don't know of any."
"I also made it plain I'm not going to pull out if there's a hitch." Burke said.
He said he urged Ellman to give himself an extra day at closing.
Gretzky will be the Coyotes director of hockey operations, with control regarding every aspect of the team's play and training.
last game with the New York Rangers in April 1999, and Ellman is banking on his popularity to help generate interest in the team.
In addition to deciding which high-salaried players to keep, Gretzky likely will have to choose between All-Star goalie Sean Burke and free agent Nikolai Khabibulin, who was the team's franchise goalie until he began a $1^{1/2}$-year holdout rather than accept $3 million a year from the Coyotes.
Gretzky was leaning toward Khabibulin, 28, last summer, but the 34-year-old Burke has almost single-handedly kept the Coyotes in the playoff hunt with feats like stopping 112 shots in his three shutouts.
Coyotes locker room at the first game he attended, citing conflicts that would ensue because the sale wasn't official.
Gretzky understood, but it still rankled him to have no control after bringing a personal investment of $2 million.
During the wait, Burke had to use some of the non-refundable $18.5 million Ellman paid in installments, and long time NHL executive Cliff Fletcher was hired at Gretzky's insistence as executive vice president.
The owners and Fletcher outrand general manager Bobby Smith, whose future with the team remains in question.
One of the hitches Ellman encountered involved borrowing from two banks to cash out a $60 million loan made to Burke.
The French bank Societe Generale asked Ellman to secure a $10 million line of credit before it loaned him $20 million, expressing concerns over the new ownership being able to pay operating costs.

LINEBACKER REMEMBERED
Thomas to be honored in Chiefs' Hall of Fame
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Former Kansas City Chiefs linebacker Derrick Thomas will be inducted into the team's Hall of Fame next month.
Thomas, who died on Feb. 8.
2000, from a blood clot resulting from injuries suffered in an auto accident, will be inducted at the annual 101 Banquet on March 3.
Thomas, whose name and No. 58 will be displayed along the ring of honor at Arrowhead Stadium, will become the second Chiefs player to be inducted posthumously. Running back Mack Lee Hill, who died while undergoing knee surgery in 1965, was honored in 1970.
Traditionally, Chiefs owner Lamar Hunt reveals the annual inductee as the highlight to the 101 Banquet. But Hunt said he wanted to announce this year's selection in advance so Thomas' former teammates could be sure to attend the annual dinner.
Hunt said the selection com mittee also waived the custom
CHIEFS
ary three years a player must be retired before induction.
"We thought it would be a little more meaningful while there are still a lot of guys on the team who played with Derrick," Hunt said. "This way, his mother can enjoy it, and if we wait three years, two thirds of the team would be players who never played with Derrick."
Thomas, the Chiefs' No. 1 pick in the 1989 draft — the team's first draft conducted by club president Carl Peterson and then-coach Marty Schottenheimer — finished his 11-year career with 126.5 sacks, the most in Chiefs history and the ninth-most in NFL history. He set the NFL single-game sack record with seven against Seattle in 1990 and had Dave Krieg in his grasp for an eighth, only to see the Seahawks quarterback escape and throw a game-winning pass.
Thomas helped lead the Chiefs to the playoffs seven times in eight years and to winning seasons in 10 of his 11 years. Before Thomas joined the Chiefs, the club had posted just two winning seasons in 15 years and qualified for the playoff once in 17 seasons.
"I don't think there's any question that in five years' time, he'll be strongly considered for the Pro Football Hall of Fame." Hunt said.
Thomas, 33 at the time of his death, was a nine-time Pro Bowl performer and was selected the Chiefs' Most Valuable Player after the 1991 and 1994 seasons. Last March, the club re-named that honor the Derrick Thomas Award.
Thomas was voted NFL Man of the Year in 1993, which recognizes community service and on-field performance. Thomas' Third and Long Foundation encouraged inner-city children to read, and as part of the program, Thomas often read to children at local libraries on Saturdays before home games.
Saturday Night Live producer miffed about show's delay
XFL promises speedier games
The Associated Press
NEW VORK — If ratings for the XFL keep sinking, its operators might consider pitting angry NBC executives against one another — no pads allowed.
XXL
The XFL promised yesterday to speed up its games after Saturday's double-overtime contest caused a 45-minute delay starting Saturday Night Live, reportedly infuriating the show's founding producer, Lorne Michaels.
The unpleasant irony for NBC, co-owner of the XFL with the World Wrestling Federation, is that NBC Sports President Dick Ebersol used to produce Saturday Night Live.
The resurgent SNL was hoping for one of its biggest shows of the year with movie and singing star Jennifer Lopez as host. Instead, the ratings were deflated by the late start.
"Dick Ebersol totally understands and empatizes probably better than anybody with the importance of SNL getting on at 11:30," said NBC Entertainment President Jeff Zucker. "To the degree that he can assure us and Lorne that he'll be off on time, he's done that."
Ebersol wasn't talking yesterday, but his representative, Cameron
Blanchard, said the XFL would cut its pregame introductions by at least five minutes, shorten the halftime breaks and try to keep the clock moving.
For example, the time clock will start when the ball is placed on the line of scrimimage following incomplete passes and changes of possession, instead of waiting until the ball is snapped.
The first Saturday night XFL telecast ran 23 minutes long. Because there was a repeat Saturday Night Live on that week, nobody seemed to mind.
But this past week's game between the Los Angeles Xtreme and Chicago Enforcers was delayed because of a power outage and a serious injury that caused a 14-minute stoppage of play. In addition, the game went into double overtime.
Zucker stopped short of saying NBC will cut away from XFL games in the future if they run past their allotted time.
"This was a string of unbelievable things that I don't think can be repeated ever again," he said. "We're not going to pull the plug on an overtime situation, but I don't
think we'll be in that situation again."
Michaelis was not available for comment yesterday. There were reports he was so angry on Saturday he briefly considered ordering a repeat SNL episode aired. The actors actually began the show on time, and it was aired via tape delay across the country.
The XFL audience dropped from 13.9 million its first week to 6.5 million last week, according to Nielsen Media Research.
NBC sports and entertainment representatives were even arguing about what caused an upsurge in NBC ratings around 11:30 on Saturday night. The entertainment side believes that's when viewers tuned in expecting *SNL*, while sports says the competitive game had something to do with it.
Preliminary ratings for the Lopez show were lower than they were for a rerun the week before. That's a bitter disappointment at SNL, which has been on a hot streak with its political humor and expected a surge of interest because of two Thursday night prime-time specials.
"It's not a matter of placating Lorne," he said. "It's just a matter of working together to make sure it never happens. And nobody understands that more than Dick Ebersol."
The Los Angeles-based Zucker was in New York on Monday to deal with the fallout.
NFL salary cap figures prove money doesn't always buy championships
The Associated Press
Success in the NFL isn't always the result of big spending. Just
look at the New York Glants and the Washington Redskins.
The Giants went to the Super Bowl last season with the third lowest
NFL
payroll in the league — $57.3 million, more than 40 percent less than the Redskins spent to finish third in the NFC East.
The figures, released yesterday by the NFL Players Association, show the Redskins, not unexpectedly, led the NFL in spending last season with $92.4 million in salaries and bonuses. Owner Daniel Snyder loaded up on big-name veterans such as Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders and Jeff George.
can be
Baltimore, which beat the Giants 34-7 in the Super Bowl, was second, spending $90.7 million.
The figures also showed how confusing the NFL's salary cap
Of the 31 NFL teams, 18 exceeded last season's cap of $62 million, including the Cincinnati Bengals, considered to be one of the league's cheapest teams. The Bengals' payroll was $68.6 million, or $6 million above the cap.
Of the 12 playoff teams, eight were in the top half in payroll. The Giants, Denver, Minnesota and New Orleans were the only ones in the bottom half.
The free-agent period begins March 2, and teams are supposed to be at or below the salary cap.
which will be around $67 million this season. The salary figures do not represent the cap figures, but a team that spent a lot is liable to have more cap problems.
“It's an ever-changing scenario,” says Ernie Accorsi, general manager of the Giants, who is planning to spend major money to re-sign cornerback Jason Sehorn and running back Tiki Barber, by far the two most important of New York's free agents. Sehorn, whose salary last year was $5.6 million, is already the NFL's best-paid cornerback.
Last year, the Giants went cheap in free agency and scored big, getting three starters on the offensive line — Lomas Brown, Glenn Parker and Dusty Ziegler.
+ plus linebacker Barry Barrow and cornerback Dave Thomas. All but Ziegler had been cut by their previous teams for cap reasons.
They also are interested in Ronde Barber, Tiki's brother, who fits their need for a quick cornerback who can cover man-to-man. The Bucs, who were sixth in salaries last year at $76.8 million, may not be able to pay Ronde
as much.
Baltimore, meanwhile, seems reconciled to losing outside linebacker Jamie Sharper, whose skills are sometimes overlooked because he plays alongside Ray Lewis.
And Washington, with its huge payroll, may have to release some players before the start of free agency, perhaps defensive tackle Dana Stubblefield, a former Kansas Jayhawk who is at the end of a long-term contract and earned $3.7 million last year, all of it charged against the cap.

Universities unite, lobby State Capitol for funding
By Brooke Hesler
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Students from all six Kansas Regents schools showed a united front yesterday at the State Capitol in Topeka as they lobbied for issues concerning higher education — particularly the two-for-one technology fee, which was eliminated in Governor Bill Graves' budget proposal.
"This is a great gesture of cooperation," said Ben Walker, student body president. "I think that these are all issues that unite
Matt Wolters,

and governmental
relations director,
agreed with Walker.
"It really gives us a lot more validity by having all of the schools here," he said.
Approximately 75 students from the schools — the University of
PETER RICHARDSON
Walker: said the technology fee issue united schools
Kansas, Kansas State, Wichita State, Emporia State, Fort Hays State and Pittsburg State universities — spoke to Kansas senators and representatives about budget cuts that affected the schools.
For the last three years, students have paid $1 per credit hour for the technology fee. The state doubled that, paying $2 per credit hour. Graves' budget proposal didn't include continuation of the fee. Yesterday, students told state senators and representatives what they thought about the fee.
"We're not here asking for new spending," said Aravind Muthukrishan, liberal arts and sciences senator. "We're just trying to keep what we already got."
Oleen said with a tight budget year, it was difficult to know where the money for the programs would come from.
"It was a three-year program to be looked at with the possibility of an increase, not elimination," she said. "There are some holes in the budget, and the governor is aware of that."
"It's a question of what hat you're pulling something out of," she said. "You're talking to the choir when you're talking to me about the fee. I'm all for it."
Jessica Bankston, Student Legislative Awareness Board director, said she was encouraged by Oleen's comments. She also said the group had received positive feedback from senators and representatives.
Walker said it was too soon to make any predictions whether the state would continue its end of the technology fee.
"I'm a little ambivalent about how people are all dealing with a difficult budget year," he said. "It's very difficult to find the money to fund these programs. A lot of state agencies are hurting."
Bankston said Student Senate was in the process of organizing a letter-writing campaign. She said the Senate Web site would contain a link where students send e-mails to their state senators and representatives.

Evolution returns to Kansas schools
By Cassio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
TOPEKA — The Kansas State Board of Education restored evolution to the state's public school curriculum yesterday in 7.3 vote.
The vote marks the end of a controversy started in August 1999, when macroevolution, which says man descended from earlier species, was deleted from the
The evolution debate
state's science curriculum in a 6-4 vote.
References to microevolution, or change
within species, were left intact at the time. "It's a great day for Kansas. It's a great day for science," said Lee Allison, director of the Kansas Geological Survey.
Sue Gamble, a Republican board member from Shawnee, said she was happy with the board's decision.
"They provide a document from which local boards can develop a high-quality curriculum." she said.
Tairl Witmer, vice president of Kansas Citizens for Science, said he was pleased by the board's decision to reinstitute mainstream science standards in Kansas.
"But it's not the end of it," he said. "The opposition to evolution will gather and try again."
In August 1999, some said the removal of
macroevolution from the state schools' curriculum was driven by religious motives.
Tim Miller, chairman of religious studies, said religion and science shouldn't be mixed.
"You ought to teach religion as religion and science as science," Miller said. "Don't teach religion in a science class and call it science."
Joe Nash, Olathe senior, said he had mixed feelings about the vote.
"There's evidence that supports evolution, but there's also evidence that does not support it," he said. "Both are theories."
See KANSAS on page 3A
EVOLUTION RESTORED
**What it means:** The board's move to remove the standards in August 1999 drew national attention. The decision to bring back evolution standards came after two board members lost re-election bids last fall to newcomers who supported teaching evolution as a scientific theory.
What happened? The Kansas State Board of Education voted 7-3 to restore the theory of biological evolution to state science curriculum.
In deep thought
What's next: Evolution will be reinstated into science classes at all levels of education throughout the state.

Senate suspends two funding clauses
Rv Bronke Hasler
Kansan staff writer
Certain clauses in the Student Senate rules and regulations could be unconstitutional, Marlon Marshall, student body vice president, told student senators last night.
Two clauses were called into question. One clause stated that Senate could not allocate money to groups whose primary function was the promotion of any religion or religious philosophy. The second clause stated that funds could not be used for partisan activities.
money couldn't be allocated to religious organizations last night and allocated $877 to the Society for Open-Minded Agnostics and Atheists. Marshall recommended the clause stay suspended until it was revised. He said reinstating it could cause problems.
Marshall said he had consulted the University General Counsel, who told him the clauses couldn't hold up under scrutiny because they discriminated on the basis of expressed beliefs.
Senate suspended the clause stating that
Peter Brabant, SOMA president, said he took offense to the organization being categorized as a religious organization.
SOMA is not registered as a religious organization with the office of Organizations and Leadership.
"If you understand light and dark, dark is the absence of light," the Lawrence senior said.
Marshall suggested that Senate consult Legal Services for Students and make some changes to the clauses.
The regulation will stay suspended until a two-thirds majority of Senate votes to reinstate it.
SENATE RULING
What happened: Senate suspended a possibly unconstitutional clause in its rules and regulations and allocated money to the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Aamostics.
- What it means: Pending legal advice, Senate could grant money to religious and partisan organizations in the future.
What's next: Marion Marshall, student body vice president, suggested that Senate consult with Legal Services for Students.
Also last night, a bill which would require senators to meet with their constituency at least three times per semester was sent back to Senate committees.
Marshall said the Student Senate Executive Committee thought there were too many changes made between the time the committees approved the bill last week to the time when full Senate was set to vote on the bill last night.
In other business, Senate:
Passed a bill allocating $10,840 to the Student Lecture Series Board for a guest speaker. Ralph Nader, Rubin Carter, Dave Barry and Bernard Shaw are possible speakers.
Passed a bill allocating $5,278 to the First Nations Student Association for the American Indian Big 12 Conference and the 2001 KU Powwow.
Passed a bill to increase the student health fee to $6 per semester.

KU author's book about bees wins national publishers' award
By Lauren Brandenbura
Kansan staff writer
A book about bees by Charles Michener, a distinguished professor emeritus of ecology and evolutionary biology, recently won the 2000 Association of American Publishers R.R. Hawkins Award, which is awarded to the book's publisher.
The award is like the Emmy of the publishing industry, said James Jordan, director of the John Hopkins Press.
Michener wrote the book, The Bees of the World, because of his interest in bees that started when he was in high school and the graduate thesis he did many years ago, he said.
He is a curator emeritus of insects for the KU Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center. He worked on the book full time after he retired from the University of Kansas in 1989. He starting working at the University in 1948.
Some of Michener's colleagues joked about him finally completing his graduate thesis with the work. However, Deborah Smith, associate professor of entomology, said she could not think of a person who had tackled such a large scope of species.
"I can't think of another systematic work that's similar that has this kind of scope," she said.
Michener still helps advise a graduate student, Molly Rightmyer, who said Michener was one of the reasons she
chose the University for her graduate studies.
"Before I came here I heard about him all the time," she said. "He's kind of like the master of bees, at least for this country."
Rightmyer called the book fantastic and said having all the information in one volume helped her in her studies.
"It's so great to have the keys to them," she said. "It's the first time I can go to one source and identify the gena of any bee of any area."
The book, though, is not one someone would sit down and read, Michener said, because it's highly technical. He wrote a book before this one about bees' social behavior but said he did not plan to write another book.
Most of this book is an account of nearly 20,000 kinds of bees that exist, he said.
"It's not all something I did or any one person can do." Michener said. "It's my experience and the work of others around the world."
He said he consulted about 2,500 references in writing the book.
Michener said that he was pleased about the award but that it primarily honored the publisher.
"It is, you know, an award for the book for the press," he said. "It's not exactly an award to the author."
The book's dedication reads, "To my students, now scattered all over the world, from whom I have learned much and to my family, who lovingly tolerate an obsession with bees."

Residence halls receive sexual prank calls
Students in at least three residence halls received calls Tuesday night from a man claiming to be a reporter from the University Daily Kansan collecting data for a sex survey.
Female residents of Lewis, Hashinger and Gertrude Sellards Pearson-Corbin halls were telephoned by the man, or group of men, who asked if the women would answer questions about their sex lives.
Lewis Hall roommates said they received two on-campus phone calls between 10:30 and 11:30 p.m. from a person who said his name was Mike Reedy.
There is Mike or Michael Reedy on the staff on the Kansan, and no one by that name is enrolled at the University. The caller may have used other aliases including Brent, Matt, Brett and Jason.
Sgt. Troy Malien of the KU Office of Public Safety said the calls could be considered phone harassment, which is a misdemeanor in Kansas.
"It's when the calls are repetitive that they're walking into a phone harassment charge." Malen said. "As far as the misrepresentation, I'd have to look into the law and see how far the Kansan could take that," he said.
The Kansan is not conducting a sex survey.
At least three comments regarding the phone calls were recorded on today's Kansan "Free for All" and were published on the Kansan's Web site.

Donation helps fund study abroad programs
A $118,000 donation by two University of Kansas alumni will help more students study abroad.
Tom and Jann Rudkin of Sunnyvale, Calif., donated the money to the Kansas University Endowment Association. The fund will provide scholarships for students participating in Western Civilization and other language and culture programs of the office of study abroad.
Rudkin, a 1973 graduate, was one of the two engineers who wrote the first version of the software program Powerpoint.
The remainder of the couple's gift will provide funding for two areas of the Natural History Museum and Biodiversity Research Center, including the assembly of one of three Camarasaurus dinosaurs.
Susan Gronkeb-Tedesco, interim director of study abroad, said the costs of studying abroad inhibited many students from doing it.
"But the donation will help more students to go abroad," she said.
School of Engineering to give Expo next Friday
The School of Engineering plans to play host to its annual Engineering Expo Friday, Feb. 23.
The event will begin at 9:30 a.m. at Swarthout Recital Hall in Murphy Hall.
Mitt Sills, a 1955 KU engineering graduate who is now vice president of product engineering at Cessna Aircraft Co. in Wichita, will be the event's keynote speaker, said Tom Mulinazzi, associate dean of engineering.
Expo visitors will be able to view and inquire about exhibits that showcase hands-on explorations of engineering and science.
The Expo will also feature design contests, including pasta bridge-building and a programming competition.
Mulinazzi said the Expo would give students the opportunity to show others what engineers really do.
"It gives the engineering students the chance to show off," he said. "It helps to promote engineering in the Lawrence community."

Student's car stolen from outside home
A 20-year-old University of Kansas' student's car was stolen while it was parked outside her residence between 10 p.m. Sunday and 8 a.m. Monday in the 4400 block of Wimbledon Drive, Lawrence police said.
Det. John Lewis said the student was not sure whether her Volvo 850 was locked or whether her keys were inside. He said there was no broken glass where the car had been parked that would indicate forced entry.
Three coats, the student's checkbook, credit cards and driver's license were inside the car, and the credit cards had been used in the Kansas City area soon after the theft, Lewis said.
The car was valued at $12,500,

Kansas City fraternity suspended for hazing
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — A fraternity at Rockhurst University has been suspended for three years because members had been hazing new members.
"In the scheme of things, the hazing was not horrible," said Liz Brent, Rockhurst's vice president for student development.
It was the first such suspension at the Jesuit college. Brent said new members alerted school officials about the hazing.
University works against queer discrimination
BOULDER, Colo. — A Republican legislator and a Christian group are fighting a proposal to protect queens from discrimination at the University of Colorado.
The motion by regent Jim Martin would include sexual orientation in CU's non-discrimination policy. The policy protects students, faculty and staff from discrimination based on race, color, national origin, sex, disability, creed, religion or veteran status.
State Senate minority leader John Andrews, a Republican, is lobbying the nine-member CU Board of Regents to defeat the motion, and the Christian Coalition of Colorado is campaigning against it in its monthly newsletters.
Regents are scheduled to vote on the motion in March.

Stress can have physical effects
Anne Gandhi experiences pain in her shoulders every day, and it's getting worse.
By Livi Regenbaum
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
The Topeka junior suffers from stress.
"Stress really presents itself in a physical form for me," Gandhi said. "I often get tension and stress in my shoulders."
Randall Rock, a physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center, said stress was a common problem for college students.
Jennifer Dawdy, Topeka sophomore, said she also suffered from stress.
"I feel like I don't have enough time to get things done with juggling work and school," she said.
The American College Health Association reported that stress was a physical, emotional and mental response to change.
Bill Smith, health educator at Watkins, said there were three types of stress: eustress,
neustress and distress.
"Eustress is good stress," he said. "It is situation that provides you with inspiration or motivation. Neustress is a neutral situation which brings forward neither a positive or negative reaction. Distress is bad stress. It is something that creates a sense of frustration, anxiety and negative health effects."
Rock said symptoms of stress included an upset stomach, diarrhea, fatigue, insomnia and headaches.
He also said stomach problems such as gastroenteritis and ulcers were associated with stress.
"Gastroenteritis is the inflammation of the stomach," Rock said. "When we are stressed and skip meals, or if we don't take time to eat before drinking alcohol, this can cause gastroenteritis. An ulcer is an erosion of a portion of the stomach. It is more rare than gastroenteritis."
He said treatment for gastroenteritis and ulcers included

taking over-the-counter antacids, consuming adequate amounts of water, avoiding acidic juices, eating small, frequent meals and avoiding large quantities of food before bedtime.
Neal Anson, Gardner sophomore, said stress caused him physical problems.
Smith said there were many ways to manage stress.
"I have had a stomach ulcer since high school which flares up when I am really stressed out," he said.
"Time management, maintaining a healthy diet and fitness program, having social interactions are all ways to handle stress," he said.

Love filled the air in the Kansas Union yesterday, as students streamed in and out of the "Love Zone."
Student Union Activities transformed the fourth floor for its open house of free Valentine's Day activities and services.
Anima, a local astrologer and tarot card reader, answered romance questions; Debbie Carruth, a Lawrence massage therapist, offered five-minute rub-downs to relieve Valentine's Day anxiety; and balloon and caricature artists provided potential gifts for mates.
"The Dating Game," however, was the main event planned for the afternoon. Three women vied for a date with Student Body Vice President Marlon Marshall.
Marshall, blindfolded until the contestants stood behind him on the set of yellow and white balloons, tried to find his best match with questions about favorite colors, animals, decades and movies.
Johee Chang, Overland Park senior, told Marshall that, were she a type of candy, it would be "a
"I was trying to spice it up," Chang said after the game.
But Marshall chose Robin Mendoza, Leavenworth junior, for her statement on her favorite color.
Blow Pop, because it's hard on the outside but soft on the inside."
"She said black was sensual, and that got to me," Marshall said.
"I just got out of a relationship, so I'm not looking for anything romantic," she said. "I just want to have some fun."
Melissa Studley, Scott City sophomore, was the third contestant.
Mendoza said the experience was "embarrassing," but she was looking forward to the date. The pair will dine at the Prairie Room in the Kansas Union, bowl at the Jaybowl and possibly attend Saturday's basketball game.
Students at the "Love Zone" also bought flowers, participated in a pick-up line contest, visited with Watkins Health Center representatives and watched a live, dramatic performance of The Sure Thing.
But Mendoza said she wasn't playing for keeps.

State approves evolution back into curriculum
Continued from page 1A
The emphasis on the evolution debate proved to be important enough in last November's election to cause changes in the board of education.
Gamble and Rupe had promised the board would change its standards.
Republican newcomers Gamble, and Carol Rupe, of Wichita, replaced Linda Holloway and Mary Douglass Brown, after they were defeated in the August Republican primaries. Holloway and Brown supported the old standards.
In favor of evolution education, along with Gamble and Rupe, were Chairman Sonny Rundell, of Syracuse; Val DeFever, of Independence; and Janet Waugh, of Kansas City. Kan. Bill Wagnon, a Topeka Democrat, and Bruce Wyatt, a Salina Republican, who successfully defended their seats last November, also voted in favor of the evolution curriculum.
Steve Abrams, a Republican from Arkansas City, who was also re-elected, voted against the new science standards.
John Bacon, of Olathe, and Harold Voth, of Haven, also opposed the new standards.

Student's death gives reminder of life's purpose
sometimes it finds it easy to get discouraged while finding an average college
aged while living an average college life. The workload gets hard. I get behind. I don't know exactly what I want to do when I graduate. I'm a bit low in the fundage area. My car is a pain. I don't get out as I used to.
On really bad days, I start to wonder if any of this is important. Does my life matter? Am I making a difference? Am I really touching anybody's life?
come into focus a little bit more clearly
But then sometimes life happens, God smacks you in the face and suddenly things come into focus a little
A good friend of mine, Shyra McGee, passed away last week. She was a good friend to a lot of people and was an all-around remarkable person. If she was your friend, she was devoted and would do almost anything for you. She had an unforgettable smile and a laugh you could hear before you even got in the door. She could make me crack up.
David Grummon columnist opinion@kansan.com
when both of us were having bad days. Shyra was a leader among her sisters in Sigma Gamma Rho. She once told me that a lot of people (Kansan writers included) misunderstood the purpose of sororities and fraternities such as hers. The point wasn't how many members they had or whether they had a house. It was what they were doing in the community that mattered to her.
even when both of us were having bad days.
Shyra was active in Student Senate and fought hard for what she believed. She wasn't there to build a resume; she was there to be an activist, to make a difference. She was passionate about minority issues and race relations, but she didn't just talk about it; she lived it. Although she was active in organizations like the National Council of Negro Women, she reached out to people of all colors and backgrounds.
I knew Shyra when she was a fellow resident assistant in student housing. Sometimes I'd work at the office with her or eat at Mrs. E's with her and John, her husband. One of the things that impressed me most was that Shyra wasn't afraid of anybody or anything. We could talk and ask things about race without being afraid of each other. She cared deeply by her residents in Stouffer Place.
It bothered her that as an RA, she got all you-can-eat meals at the cafeteria, but so many of the children she hung out with went hungry every day.
Don't get me wrong — Shyra was not a saint, and she wasn't perfect. She was stubborn and opinionated and had absolutely no problem telling you what she thought. She had to overcome many obstacles in life to get where she did. But that just further underscores what she accomplished.
Shyra's death was so sudden, so stunning, so senseless that it has been hard for so many of those who loved her to find meaning in it. But as I looked around at the packed sanctuary during her memorial service Saturday, I saw faces of all colors and backgrounds — people whom she had touched. Instead of playing some somber dirge, the choir clapped its hands in celebration of her life.
And then I think I started to understand. As tragic as thesyra's death was, her life was that much more of a victory — a triumph for her individually and for the human spirit.
When I wonder whether my life matters — Shyra's life mattered. When I wonder whether one person can really make a difference — Shyra made a difference. When I wonder whether I'm really touching anybody's life — Shyra definitely did. And maybe, then, my life matters; I can make a difference and I touch other lives.
I have to step up and accept the challenge Shyra's life presents to us. Maybe it's time do more for my community and others. Maybe it's time I become more of an activist for the things I believe in. Maybe it's time I speak up and speak out about things. Maybe I should care more about making a difference than building my resume. Maybe I should do more for those around me. Maybe I should reach out more to all kinds of people.
and teach out more to all kinds of people Maybe we all should.

Pass:
State Board of Education. Evolution returns to state science testing standards. Good idea: Take the monkeys out of office and put them back in the textbooks.
Marlon Marshall. Student body vice president spearheads effort to increase the University's minority retention. Director of admissions Alan Cerveny replies that there "may be some merit in looking into resource issues." That's the type of strong commitment that has made online enrollment what it is today.
The whistle. Toot-toot returns to life after being absent for more than two months. In a miraculous coincidence, professors suddenly let classes out on time.
Fail:
Kansas men's basketball. In another big mishap on Big Monday, the team proves it can lose to Baylor, can't it, Kenny? Good thing we don't have to play Texas A&M again.
Jefferson Commons. Student who lived there wins court case and gets his deposit back. Given the number of others who say they've been shortchanged, can a class action suit be for behind?
- Kansas weather. Ever wonder why more people don't live here? Try looking outside. At least the tomadoes won't come until April.
Perspective
Fear of fashion faux pas forces us into absurd attire
The awards season has come around, and we will once again honor the best movies and music. During the next three months, we will get to see beautiful people wear overpriced designer clothes.
Better yet, we get to mock them. This is because awards season has devolved into fashion season, in which what a person wears is more important than the
more important than the event itself.
And yet that attitude has expanded beyond awards season — our lives have been invaded by the fashion police, and what we wear is becoming more important every day.
Scholars have long argued that the media have altered our views of beauty by saturating us with unrealistic standards of beauty and unfair standards of fashion. This emphasis on fashion has spawned an

increased emphasis on material things.
emphasis on material things.
Clothes once consisted of a loincloth made from a lion killed for dinner. There's a difference now — the meat is wasted and all the fur is on top of Puff Daddy's jackets.
More magazines contain dressed lists and pages filled with the latest fashion trends. I admit that it's fascinating to see aesthetically superior human beings prancing around in clothes that are worth more than my four-year, out-of-state college tuition. But beyond that, who cares?
Fashion trends change rapidly. Almost everyone has been to an '80s or '70s theme party. That fad probably has something to do with Studio 54, Saturday Night Fever or Footloose. We see the usual suspects sporting tightly rolled jeans, polyester jumpsuits and bell-bottoms. Everyone has a good laugh and wonders how anyone could have worn such ridiculous clothes.
I've got some not-so-surprising news for you: Everything we wear now will probably end up as our children's Halloween costumes. Y2K parties will be the new fad, and the costumes will include cargo pants, running shoes, tight black pants, tube tops, pea coats and skijackets. But more importantly, our kids will have a good laugh at the uninhibited attire that was once in vogue
I have a theory that the only reason magazines and self-appointed fashion experts change trends is to keep their jobs. If bell-bottoms were eternally fashionable, the experts would have nothing to comment on and the manufacturers would have nothing new to sell. It's a keen strategy, really. They tell us what is in, then change it three months later. They are creating demand for themselves based purely on their own opinion.
The fashion world is so trite and confused that it contradicts itself. Brittney Spears and Jennifer Aniston were in People's Best Dressed List. Then Mr. Blackwell published his famous Worst Dressed List, and Britney and Jennifer both were on it. What are we, the American public, to think when we get contradicting messages such as these?
What makes a fashion expert? Bad taste. Clothes are an extension of a person's personality as well as a form of expression, and to be criticized for that is ludicrous.
I'm a T-shirt-and jeans guy. All the clothes I own that were supposed to be "in" are laying at the bottom of my dresser. Like so many others, I have been a fashion victim many times. I tight-rolled my Guess jeans through fifth grade and wore sandals with socks in high school.
Sure, you're laughing now. But I was assured that these were hot clothes to have for the spring season. If nothing else, they'll make for an interesting costume someday.
But I assure you that I am hip now. I just read GQ and got these awesome light yellow cargo-capri pants with a matching sheepskin tank top.

Editorial
Technology budget cut hurts schools
A proposal to quit matching funds for classroom aids would harm KU students.
Students at Kansas Regents schools — including the University of Kansas — could have trouble preparing for the future if the state legislature approves Gov. Bill Graves' proposed technology budget cut.
During the past three years, students paid a $1 fee that financed classroom technology for every credit hour they enrolled in. The state has paid $2 for every dollar students pay. That amounts to $1.8 million total, two-thirds of which comes from the state.
But Graves' cut would put the student instructional technology fee's matching funds on the chopping block.
His objectionable decision could not KU graduates at a disadvantage
put KU graduates at a disadvantage. Money from the fee has been broken into thirds each time it has been distributed, with one-third going to the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and professional schools and another third going to building and infrastructure improvements and the libraries. The final third financed special projects, including improvements such as purchasing new computers for the math department, technology classrooms such as in Summerfield Hall and new video projectors for the Crafton-Preyer Theater in Murphy Hall.
This was a wonderful opportunity for the University to keep up with the ever-changing face of technology, but its demise means we will be at a disadvantage.
Because technology is rapidly evolving, the University needs to keep up to make its graduates competitive in the job market. Many companies cite technological literacy as one of the most important qualities in prospective employees. Furthermore, the state hurts itself because it will have a less well-trained work force.
The University needs this fund to keep up, and removing it would hurt the University's academic departments — therefore hurting students.
Graves sees this technology fee as an "extra" the state just cannot afford. Unfortunately, what the state sees as unimportant could cripple graduates' job prospects.

Texas Tech triumphs
Red Raiders to end season with tough ranked opponents
By Brandon Stinnett
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Well, not exactly. But a pretty strong case could be made.
Never mind Texas Tech's 10-2 Big 12 Conference record. And forget about the Raiders' No. 14 national ranking. On paper, this was Kansas' game to win.
On Saturday, Texas Tech suffered a 63-57 loss to No. 18 Texas — the same team Kansas beat 70-60 on Feb. 3. Judging by that, the Jayhawks had to feel pretty good heading into its match-up with the Red Raiders at Allen Fieldhouse last night.
But things just didn't work out for Kansas in a 49-45 defeat, its fifth Big 12 loss at home this season.
So what happened to the Javhawks?
Pretty much the same thing that has happened to most of Texas Tech's opponents this season: The Red Raiders killed Kansas with defense.
Texas Tech (19-4 and 10-2 Big 12) forced the Jayhawks into a season.
high 31 turnovers. And, in the first half, Kansas had more turnovers (18) than points (16).
The Red Raiders didn't exactly steam roll past the Jayhawks with explosive offense, but they didn't have to. Kansas (9-14 and 3-9) was held to just 45 points — its lowest total in the conference since the inception of the Big 12.
Limiting opponent scoring is nothing new for Texas Tech, which ranks second in the Big 12 in scoring defense at 58.2 points per game. Senior guard Katrisa O'Neal said that had come in handy during close games this season.
"When our shots aren't going too well and we're not getting much offense, we have to rely on defense," she said.
Clutch free-throw shooting doesn't hurt, either. After Kansas cut the lead to two, 45-43, with 1:14 remaining in the second half, Texas Tech hit all four of its free-throws and sealed the victory.
Sophomore forward Plenette Pierson, who led the Red Raiders with 19 points, helped preserve the lead by hitting two free-throws in the final minute.
"We knew free-throws would be a big aspect of this game," she said. "They can be the difference between losing and winning a game on the road."
Pierson, who battled down low with Kansas forward Jaclyn
Johnson for much of the game, knew she was in for a battle. Johnson led all scorers with 20 points, but Pierson never backed down.
"We just knew coming in that Johnson was a physical player and we had to play just as physical as she was," Pierson said.
Texas Tech now controls its own destiny in the Big 12. Run the table in their last four conference games, and the Red Raiders are guaranteed at least a share of the conference title.
But that won't be easy considering Texas Tech's remaining schedule. The Red Raiders play four straight-ranked teams, including games against conference-leaders Oklahoma and Iowa State.
Texas Tech coach Marsha Sharp said the Red Raiders would have to score more points than they did last night against Kansas to be in contention.
"I think we'll have to play a lot better on the offensive end against Oklahoma and Iowa State," Sharp said. "It's hard to limit those teams to 40-something points."
Pierson thinks stronger effort is needed down the road.
"I know we played great tonight, she said. "But to beat a team like Oklahoma or Iowa State we'll have to play a lot harder."

the game shooting six-of-seven from the charity stripe in the final three minutes. And when Johnson fouled out with 32 seconds to play, it was all but finished for the Javahaws.
"It's real disappointing when you have an opportunity like tonight," Washington said. "I really thought we had a chance." Game notes
Johnson became the seventh all-time rebounder in Kansas history with 798, passing Tracy Claxton, who had 792 in the 1981-82 seasons.
Jackson became the fourth all-time in school history in career minutes played with 3,686. Jackson passed Lynette Woodard, who played 3,651 minutes from 1978-81.

Economics might cloud Royals' cheer
A dark gloom covered downtown Kansas City on Tuesday as members of the Royals attended an annual luncheon to preview the upcoming season.
Was the weather a sign of things to come for the small market baseball team?
teen.
The Royals didn't think so.
Owner David Glass and All-Star first baseman Mike Sweeney were among the upbeat panelists who addressed a crowd of supporters and media at the Downtown Marriott. They spoke of their optimism for the upcoming season, the improvements the club made in the offseason, and their hopes of breaking into the upper echelon of teams in the American League.
The playing field in baseball simply isn't level. Call it greed, call it what you want, but it's just capitalism. The demand of the television market in cities like New York, Chicago, Boston, Dallas, Atlanta and Los Angeles has provided a handful of teams with more money to supply their players. It's that simple.
The optimism, though painfully genuine, will surely be swallowed by the cloudy economic landscape in baseball in a matter of months.
As one observer at the lunchone noted, it's like a Monopoly game. When the Royals pass 'Go,' they get $200. But when the Yankees' thimble makes the rounds, they get $1,000.
Meanwhile, teams in cities like Kansas City, Minneapolis and Pittsburgh are left scurrying to break even every year despite relatively tiny payrolls. When players in these towns develop into star-quality players, they follow the money elsewhere (see Johnny Damon).
The point was punctuated this off-season when Texas Rangers owner Thomas Hicks signed free-agent shortstop Alex Rodriguez to a 10-year, $252 million contract. About the contract, Glass quipped: "I think they're nuts!"
If you listen carefully,you may even hear the line growing between the haves and have-nots.
The scales are tipped in advance. Seasons don't have that aura of unpredictability. Thus, it comes as no surprise baseball has dropped in popularity.
Despite the circumstances, the Royals glowed with optimism as they spoke at the luncheon, presented by the Kansas City Sport Commission & Foundation.
Sweeney said he was entering the season with the intention of winning the American League Central Division.
"If we don't believe that, then what's the point?" he said. "We don't want to just play. 500 ball and collect a paycheck every two weeks. That's not fulfilling. We want to play to win."
Sweeney thought the off-season acquisition of closer Roberto Hernandez would be enough to help the Rovals get into the playoffs.
The Royals' attitude and excitement as they face a constant uphill climb make them worth watching. There's not so much a hint of the selfish, mercenary attitude that has plagued professional sports.
Sweeney even admitted that, though he signed a two-year contract well below his market value, he was vastly overpaid.
"We're all overpaid," he said. "We're playing a game that we love to play. I feel blessed just to go out there every day."
Third baseman Joe Randa said money was a secondary concern in his mind as well.
"My last contract wasn't good enough for my agent," he said. "But it was good enough for me. I love Kansas City. I'm going to live here if I'm playing here or not. Besides, the way I look at it, I'd be just as happy driving a Toyota as I would a Mercedes Benz."
Briggeman is a Proft senior in journalism.
The Royals' slogan of a year ago rings true — "You've Gotta Love These Guys."
Still, reality is reality and, love them or not, don't expect to see the sun shine down on Kauffman Stadium and the Royals' franchise anytime soon.
Jayhawks crumble against Tech
By Jessie Meyer sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
One glaring first half statistic tells the story of the Kansas women's basketball team's 49-45 loss to No.14 Texas Tech last night at Allen Fieldhouse.
The Jayhawks had more turnovers than points at the half.
Kansas shot 31.8 percent from the field and scored just 16 points in the first half, the lowest halftime number the Hawks have had in a Big 12 Conference game. The 45 points they finished with is also the fewest Kansas has scored in a Big 12 game. On top of that, they turned the ball over 18 times in the first half and finished with a season-high 31.
"I'm real disappointed with our lack of poise in that area," said Kansas coach Marian Washington of the poor ball-handling. "We had opportunities, numerous opportunities to really do some scoring but we just did not take advantage of them."
But the Jayhawks were down just five at the half.
Kansas (9-14, 3-9 Big 12) stuck to its defensive game-plan and forced Texas Tech (19-4, 10-2) to turn the ball over 13 times and shoot just 34.6 percent from the field in the first half. Kansas continued its defensive pressure, forcing the Raiders to take low-percentage shots and keeping Texas Tech from running away with the game in the second half.
"Our defense did exactly what we wanted it to accomplish," Washington said. "If I was going to play them again tomorrow, I would play them exactly

the same way."
The highlight for Kansas in the second half was the continued consistency from senior Jaclyn Johnson. Johnson led all scorers with 20 points and grabbed a game-high nine rebounds. No other Kansas players scored in double-digits.
"It looked like we didn't care." Johnson said. "I think a lot of people didn't come mentally ready for this game, and it showed in our offensive play."
With a lid on the basket, the Jayhawks relied on free-throws to keep them in the game down the stretch. They shot 15-of-14 in the second half and 15-for-17 overall from the line. Despite pulling to within two points, Kansas could not pull ahead of the Raiders because the offense never got in the swing of things.
Senior Brooke Reves sat out for much of the second half, committing 11 turnovers and scoring just four points on the night. Senior Jennifer Jackson also struggled on the offensive end with seven turnovers and six points.
"When you're playing as badly as we did as far as taking care of the ball, you're not going to win any games," Jackson said. "Thirty-one turnovers are ridiculous."
While free-throws had kept the Jayhawks alive, the Raiders sealed

Williams fed up after loss

Kansas sportswriter
The head man's had enough.
Kansas coach Roy Williams has taken the blame for his teams' mishaps during the past 13 years, but times have changed. Yesterday, a fed-up Williams said it was time for his players to get up for games — no pep talks needed.
"The old coach is not doing real well," Williams said. "Part of a coach's responsibility is to get the club ready to play. You can do that by emphasizing to them the strengths of the opponent, emphasizing to them the importance of the game and emphasizing to them how successful they have been recently.
"We had done all those things and yet it still bothers me that I did not get them ready to play. And at the same time the guys need to do that themselves. I have never had a coach in my life that has had to get me ready to play. I think that is the most ridiculous statement that a coach could make."
Nevertheless, Williams said something needed to be done to light a fire under his players' seats. Nothing has worked recently.
The sixth-ranked Jayhawks (194, 8-3 Big 12 Conference) have lost three of their last five games and fallen into deep
"It was the worst case of a team not being ready to play that I've ever been involved with."

holes during the first half of each loss. Additionally, they took a narrow two-point lead into halftime against Texas on Feb. 3 after blowing a 10-point lead in the opening period. Williams said Monday's 85-77 loss at Baylor, where the Jayhawks lost in embarrassing fashion, was a case of his players not being ready to play.
"They are accountable and we were not ready to play." Williams said. "I think two or three guys played their hearts out, but there are several guys that did not and they have to make decisions."
Kansas sophomore guard Kirk Hinrich led the Jayhawks with a career-high 26 points against Baylor and forward Bryant Nash chipped in two steals that launched a second-half comeback.
But they were two of the few Jayhawks with their heads on straight Monday night. Hinrich said he was worried that a repeat performance could happen Saturday when the Jayhawks play No. 7 Iowa State in Ames, Iowa.
"It was the worst case of a team not being ready to play that I've ever been involved with," Hinrich said. "We're got to work on that and a bunch of other things. If we don't then it's going to be embarrassed."
Hinrich agreed with Williams the players needed to take responsibility for being ready to play. He said he and his teammates needed to care enough to start motivating themselves for games.
Kansas forward Nick Collison said there was no emotional leader among the players in the locker room who gave the team a lift on Monday night.
"Maybe we could use a little more of that." Collison said. "But if you need some kind of speech to get you fired up and ready to go every single night, I really don't think you're going to be ready to play anyway. Each player's got to be ready to go and take more of a businesslike approach to it."
Kansas basketball notes
Drew Gooden will miss Saturday's game against Iowa State because of a sprained right wrist, which he injured in the Feb. 3 win against Texas. Gooden will meet with doctors again on Monday, Williams said. If all goes well, the sophomore forward would be able to play in Wednesday's game against Colorado.

'Hawks roll into tournament as favorite
By Ryan Malashock
Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks take on the St. Mary's (Calif.) Gales today at 3 p.m. in their first of four weekend games. The Jayhawks (3-0) play Northwestern tomorrow, Northern Iowa on Saturday and Ball State on Sunday.
The Kansas baseball team enters this weekend's Rawlings Tournament in Phoenix in an unfamiliar role — as the favorites.
Although coach Bobby Randall dismissed the notion Kansas was the clear-cut favorite in Phoenix, he acknowledged his squad would have a target on its back.
"Every team down there is going to save their best pitcher for us, for the Big 12 team. The same thing happened last week." Randall said, referring to the Round Rock Classic the Jayhawks played in Texas. "When you wear that Big 12 logo, it's going to happen. We need to go down there ready to play four tough games."
St. Mary's presents Kansas with perhaps
its toughest competition of the weekend. The Gales (3-4) took two of three games from Pacific-10 power Arizona earlier in the season.

Randall: thinks teams will be gunning for Kansas
Randall said he
planned to use a wider variety of lineups this weekend and hoped to get more playing time for multiple players. He also said he hoped to go much deeper into the bullpen this weekend.
The Jayhawks are in a different position entering the Rawlings Tournament than
they were last week in Round Rock, Texas. The Jahayhaws played their first games of the season last week against three game-experienced clubballs.
This week, the tables are turned. Northwestern, Northern Iowa and Ball State will all be playing their first games of the season this weekend. Randall stressed the Jayhawks should not take any team lightly based on its lack of game experience.
"We came right out of the gate and beat three quality teams in our first games, so we should assume that those teams could do that to us." Randall said.
The Jayhawks started 8-1 last season, but swooned in the middle of the season and finished 25-30.
"I think it's bigger to get better every

time out than to just win games," Klocksball said. "Last year we started out 8-1, but I felt that we didn't improve every game. In the tournament (last week), you could tell that we were doing better each game, and we need to keep that going." Baseball notes
Randall said sophomore infielder Ryan Baty would have season-ending shoulder surgery next week. Baty played in 23 games last season and batted .279. Randall said Baty's presence would be missed.
"Ryan's injury is a big blow to us." Randall said. "That hurts desperately because it takes an inflider out of the mix. Ryan's an experienced guy who was going to play some second and first base for us."

whole lotta SHAKIN goin ON By Robert Pazell jayplay writer
Local band stirs it up on local, national scale
Band history:
Shaking Tree's members, who are all former University of Kansas students, hall from the Kansas City area.
The band's recordings include Shaking Tree (1997), Sound of Rain (1998) and Matter of Choice (2000).
Shaking Tree has appeared on The Jenny Jones Show.
Songs from Sound of Rain have been licensed to MTV's Road Rules and Real World, Disney's Z Games and the Discovery Channel's Outward Bound.
The band has endorsements from Corona and verity.com.
Dain Estes remembers the days when the band Shaking Tree was getting started. It was four years ago, and he had just recorded an album in his basement with two other people from Turquoise Sol, his former band. Shaking Tree then spent years in the trenches performing live shows and shifting line-ups.
But after all this hard work, the band, which is a local, delicate mix of world music and alternative rock, found itself riding a huge success wave. With three albums, a national endorsement from Corona and a touring schedule that includes nearly 200 shows nationwide each year. Shaking Tree's notoriety is growing.
So when they returned to Lawrence Feb. 9 for a show at the Jazzhaus, 926 1/2 Massachusetts St., lead singer/songwriter Dain Estes felt right at home.
"The Jazzzaus is my favorite place to play," said Estes, who gives the band's interviews.
"The first time (the
Jazzhaus) gave us a show, they gave us a great night, and we packed the place out. We continue to do great things there."
Estes is backed by Tom Waddington on violin and mandolin; Ian Burns on bass; and Aaron Hetherington on drums. All members hail from the Kansas City area and attended the University of Kansas.
"No one actually graduated," Estes joked.
"At least. I don't think."
He spent two years as a music major at the University, which had a big influence on his songwriting style.
"I had a Latin American music history class, and we talked a lot about folk music." Estes said. Bands such as Counting Crows and Talking Heads were his pop favorites, he said. "I was influenced by different aspects of this music. For example, I use samba beat and make it more accessible to popular music."
"I think they are a lot of fun and easy to dance to," Guthrie said. "They attract a lot of college kids."
Pat Guthrie, manager of the Jazzhaus, described their sound as being in an genre similar to Dave Mathews Band.
I am not a professional musician, but I do enjoy playing the guitar and singing. I'm a member of the band Bluesbreaker, which is known for its upbeat rock and pop music. I've played at many venues around the world, including the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in Chicago and the Woodstock Festival in New York City. I'm also a part of the band's touring group, which includes other musicians from different genres. If you want to learn more about me or my music, feel free to contact me.
He said Shaking Tree shows usually sold out at the Jazzhaus.

"They are one of the bands that started out during the week as a local attraction, and they ended up blowing our doors off." Guthrie said. "And now they are a touring act that always comes back and plays here."
Estes said they had been on a pretty fixed touring schedule for the past two-and-a-half years, hitting venues across the country.
"We were on this rotation where we'd be on the road for two weeks to two months, then return to Kansas," he said. "For weeks we'd hit places like Lawrence, Chicago and Nebraska, then we'd do it again."
Shaking Tree's three albums are Shaking Tree (1997), Sound of Rain (1998), and their latest release, Matter of Choice (2000). Their single, "Memory of Me," has been added to more than 300 college, community and commercial radio stations. In addition, songs from Sound of Rain have been licensed to MTV's Road Rules and Real World. Estes said after recording their album on independent label Knot Known Records last May, the band's goal was to sign with a larger label.
winning the contest, Shaking Tree was chosen to record tracks from Master of Choice for use in the Corona Beer Sound Waves Tour 2000.
Shaking Tree will hit the road this spring performing a slew of shows in Missouri, Oklahoma and in Kansas City's Grand Emporium before heading east in March. But Estes said they would come home for a local show in April.
"Recording the album for Knot Known Records was cool because we were able to get nationwide distribution," he said. "With that, we are shopping for a bigger label."
Estes said winning this type of national contest looked good on the band's stat sheet.
In addition to gaining local support from fans, Shaking Tree has gained credentials by winning the Corona National Talent Search, where more than 800 bands competed. By
"A sponsorship makes everything more valid," he said.
"It's like credentials on a resume. When we send our press kit to clubs, it says we've accomplished something."

Your friends are your joy and inspiration. Together you accomplish the impossible, and it's fun. Set an agenda in February, starting with an incomplete project. By April you know what you need to learn, so learning it is easy. The rules must be applied in May to make sure you're grounded in reality. In June, let fantasy take control. With the one you love, dreams can come true. You're inspired in July, and you're on the right path. August is a good time to double-check that all systems are functioning properly. Contact a foreigner for good advice in September. You and your teammates should push for completion in December. The impossible should a while, but it's accomplished by January.

Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
It’s a pretty good day to ask for a raise, or to find out whether you qualify for additional benefits. You’re a pretty shrewd investor, so maybe you could get these rewards yourself. It’s OK to do that.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is an 8.
You're lucky today, although others may appear to be in control. Actually, you're letting them do that. They're providing what you need, you're steering and they're doing all the work. That's how it should be.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
You're doing the work but never have a penny to spare. That's because you keep shoving every extra penny into your savings account. There's nothing nicer than a big fat IRA, is there? If you don't have one yet, you soon will.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 9.
You're in love, and you don't care who knows it.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22] — Today is a 9.
You're ready to make a commitment, and it's a great day for that — but only if you've known this person for more than two weeks.
Virao (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 4.
Things should finally be running smoothly at work. But you're exhausted, so you should think about spending time at home. Ask for some time off.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 10
You're a great teacher, and several others are starting to realize this. Graciously accept their compliments. You don't have to demand respect; you've earned it.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 5.
You know that really neat thing you've wanted but couldn't afford? Count your pennies again — you can make it happen. It won't be easy, but it will be worth the effort. Go buy it today!
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 9.
You're so cute today, you're sure to draw a lot of attention. You're witty and have a great sense of humor.
Where does this stuff come from, anyway? Make the most of it.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
A household project you've been planning could finally come to fruition, whether it's buying living-room furniture or buying a new house. It may require work, but you're willing to do what it takes to get what you want.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
You're pretty smart, but you don't have to figure everything out by yourself. Get your friends to help, and a project will begin to look like fun.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6.

Fill Friday night with Kansas fun

 Joyplay columnist
I just recently celebrated my birthday, and as a result, I got a lot of phone calls from friends, family and 'Judy from Discover offering a special credit card with no annual fees, low fixed
APR and up to 1% cash back bonus on all purchases." It was really nice of her to remember my birthday.
Still, some of my birthday well-wishers hadn't called me since I moved here from Colorado. As a result, they were still curious about my new school and invariably asked me the following questions: "Do you like it there?" "What's Kansas like?" "Do they have TVs yet?" "Does everyone just eat corn?" and "Are all your classes in one big cabin?"
I. of course,
explained to them KU

different than their school and Lawrence had actually come a long way since "Little House on the Prairie."
I added they were probably just confusing us with K-State and when I described Aggieville, they seemed satisfied with their stereotype.
Nonetheless, I was still hounded with the question, "What do people at KU do for fun, besides hayrides and square-dancing?"
10
TOP
TEN
As a result, I came up with this list, partly to answer the critics of our town and state, and partly
to offer suggestions to fellow students.
Top Ten Things to do in Lawrence on a Friday Night:
10. Sit around and make fun of those poor saps in boring states like Montana or Idaho who have nothing to do.
9. Put flaming bags of crap on people's doorsteps. But don't
8. Go to das Jazzhaus for some überkaraoke.
doorsteps. But don't light them on fire. And instead of people's doorsteps, Hashinger's elevator. Classic
7. Make a drinking game out of Friday night TV shows like Nash Bridges: Drink until the shows seem witty and entertaining.
6. Go to Jack Flanigan's, but in order to avoid trouble at the door, leave "gang related" apparel at home.
5. Knock back 0-5 drinks.
4. Play "Magic the Gathering," even though the gathering never has a keg.
3. Finally get that joke you read in the Top Ten list the day before, only to realize it's still not funny.
2. Go to a bar, though I'm not sure I would recommend it. I went to this one last Tuesday night and I kept getting shot down by all the girls like they weren't even interested.
1. Sit at home, alone and depressed, with nothing but a bottle of Jack and your "Top" noun" lists to keep you company.

FING STORY QUILT
by JATHN RONAGOLD
America's First Flag, from New York to the Southwest, was a symbol of unity and freedom. It was the flag that united the states and represented the spirit of democracy and progress.
The flag was designed by James Monroe, who was the first President of the United States. He wanted the flag to be a symbol of the American dream and the promise of a better life for all Americans.
The flag was made of white cotton and black silk. The cotton was made from the raw material of cotton, which was obtained from the Mississippi River. The silk was made from the silk woven from the linen from the cotton.
The flag was divided into 13 horizontal stripes, each representing one of the 50 states in the Union. The stripes were colored red, white, blue, gold, and silver.
The flag was mounted on a pole with a weighted base. The pole was made of steel and wood. The base was made of metal.
The flag was flying at half-mast during the War of 1861. The half-mast symbolized the end of the Civil War and the beginning of the peace era.
The flag was restored in 1902. The restoration involved replacing the old fabric with new materials and reinforcing the structure of the flag.
The flag was hung on a wall with a rope tied to it. The rope was made of twine and wrapped around the pole.
The flag was displayed at various locations throughout the United States. It was often shown at large public events, such as parades and protests.
The flag is now a national symbol of the United States. It represents the country's history, culture, and values.

Art exhibit on display
Museum honors African-American women artists
By Melissa Bronnenberg
joyplay @ kansan.com
joyplay writer
A new exhibit at the Spencer Museum of Art helps viewers understand the influence of African culture on modern-day women artists.
"Contemporary African- American Women Artists: Looking at the Past, Living in the Present," opened Feb. 3 in conjunction with Black History Month and will be displayed until March 9.
"It also dovetails into women's history month," said Beth Harris, an education intern who did all of the research and preparation for
the exhibit. "We have African-American male artists' work up pretty frequently, so this exhibit tied in nicely with the theme on women."
The exhibit presents six works, three of which are recent acquisitions that have never been shown, including a pop-up silhouette book by Kara Walker titled, "FREEDOM: A Curious Interpretation of a NEGRO in Trouble."
Roundout the exhibit are artists Elizabeth Catlett, Alison Saar and Carrie Mae Weems. A dyed and pieced flag by Faith Ringgold, "Flag Story Quilt," is also included because Harris thought it fit the focus of the display.
Rachel Buller, photography intern, worked closely with Adrian Piper's photograph "It Doesn't Matter."
"I saw a retrospect on Adrian

Harris designed the exhibit to be interactive. Following each description of the piece are questions for visitors to think about.
Piper in New York, and this measures up pretty well," Buller said. "We have a lot of important works by African-American women of the last century."
"It's meant to engage the audience visually in looking at formal aspects of the work, especially novice visitors because 20th century art tends to be difficult and inaccessible," Harris said.

Olathe woman traps herself
in trunk of her frozen car
OLATHE — Louise Davis won't soon forget the last time she tried to get into her car during an ice storm.
Davis, 68, found her car doors sealed shut by ice last Friday morning. She decided to go through the trunk, planning to kick at the back seat, which folds down.
"Just as soon as I got in, the trunk slammed shut, said Davis, who tried in vain to kick down the seat. She trapped herself in a blanket, prayed and bound on the trunk as others started their cars in the parking lot.
Finally, Troy Edwards walked up to her trunk and listened.
Edwards called the police, who broke a window and let Davis out through the back seat.
Government phone numbers absent from Wisconsin books
RACINE, Wis. — Amertech has heard nothing but static since this year's phone book came out.
Missing from the blue government pages are numbers for circuit court offices, the county treasurer, register of deeds, the county executive and corporation counsel.
The Associated Press
The missing numbers are causing headaches because tax season is in full swing.
Rob Richardson, the county information systems director, said Ameritech didn't get the numbers in time, and the phone company printed the book anyway.
Industrious 20-year-old student elected to office in West Virginia
CHARLESTON, W.Va. — Twenty-year-old Jason Nettles, Calcoun County's new assessor, tells critics to count his successes, not his birthdays.
"So I just thought, well I'll just run," Nettles said. He now faces the task of appraising the county's 13,000 land properties and 8,000 personal properties, and must do so with a tight budget.
Nettles was planning on medical school, but a politics professor recounted stories of former students who ran for public office and won.
Nettles, a Democrat, received 70 percent of the vote in defeating his Republican opponent in November. At 5-foot-6, the only thing big about Nettles is his ambition.

Students eager for consideration on MTV's Real World
Casting directors will call back 15
By Cal Creek
jayplay@kansan.com
jayplay writer
Casting directors from MTV's Real World brought their cross-country auditions to Lawrence last Saturday.
More than five hundred people applied and participated in interviews, hoping to win a spot on the romance-laden, conflict-rid
den show of backbiting intrigue
and unabashed voyeurism.
The show's casting directors, including KU alumnus Marlon Sanders, conducted the interviews at Abe and Jake's Landing, 8 E. Sixth St., in an effort to find cast members for the show's 11th season. Casting director Rob LaPlante said he wasn't looking for a cookie-cutter person.
"Whether they're sexy or humorous or fun, they need something dynamic that sets them out from the rest of the crowd." he said.
Lawrence was the ninth out of
16 stops. After completing the casting tour, directors will limit the thousands of participants to
about 15 from city. The 15 will have a callback and go through a series of interviews until the directors find the seven people they're looking for.
THE REAL WORLD
Although requirements to audition included being between 18 and 24 years of age, the requirements to be cast weren't as specific.
"I look for someone who no matter what I ask them, they can't help but be themselves," casting director Leola Westbrook said. "They can't edit themselves."
LaPlante and the other casting directors interviewed approximately ten to 15 people at a time in a roundtable discussion. Sanders said he liked to ask questions people had firm opinions about. Conversation topics varied from favorite movies to the definition of cheating to affirmative action.
"It was like a debate almost," said Tara Wise, Chicago freshman. "They asked us what we consider cheating. It was cool." Some who were auditioning thought of using specific tactics to get on the show.
"I look for someone who no matter what I ask them, they can't help but be themselves."
Leola Westbrook
Real World casting director
"I was thinking of saying I was an anorexic homosexual, but I'll probably just be myself," said Matt LeCover, Plano, Texas, freshman.
Others attempting to get on the show had different tactics.
"My chances are pretty good because I'm a minority in the Midwest and I have a good story to tell," said Eric Borja, Springfield, Mo., sophomore and Kansan columnist. "I'm going to be mysterious and funny as possible. I'm going to be real discreet and avoid each question."

International cards used as fake IDs
By Erin Adamson
Kansan staff writer
Some underage students may be getting into local bars with their International Student Identity Cards.
The card is sold locally at Council Travel, 622 W. 12th, and is intended to be used by students during international travel.
Police seized an international identification card from a University of Kansas student on Feb. 1. at Fatso's, 1016 Massachusetts St., between 11:00 and 11:15 p.m.
Det. John Lewis said an officer asked the student for his identification and the student handed the officer his wallet. The wallet contained a driver's license listing the student's age as 19 and an international card that listed his age as 21.
Lewis said he thought that the case had been written un as possession of
false identification and that police would be looking at the paperwork the student had filled out to get the card.
Council Travel sells the card for $22, and students can apply to it at the Student Union Activities window in the Kansas Union.
Michael Burns, vice president of marketing for Council Travel, said he thought abuse of the card was minimal compared to the amount of cards the company sold in a year.
He said that Council Travel sold more than 500,000 cards in the United States annually.
Burns said that Council Travel's company policy did not require travel agents to ask for a driver's license or passport when issuing the card. But he said that the company trained its agents to ask for identification or a school transcript that included the student's date of birth.
Burns said the card was not legal
identification.
"It is purpose to verify student status." Burns said.
Council Travel of Lawrence requires students to show a KUID and a class schedule to get the card. The student is also asked to verify their date of birth and the spelling of their name. However, a student could apply for the card by giving

Trevor Kilgore, Council Travel employee, said the business sold a considerable amount of cards to students traveling abroad.
"In a busy month, anywhere from 60 to 120." Kilgore said.
Sara Kapser, employee of the Red Lyon Tasher, 944 Massachusetts, said the bar generally didn't accept international identification of any kind, but
would sometimes accept a passport.
Kelfel Aqui, owner of Coco Loco Mexican Cafe, 943 Massachusetts, said his business did not accept international identification.
"It has to be a Kansas driver's license," Aql said.

Nontraditional life
KU dads balance college, children
By Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
"It was very important to keep Derek close to us," Brookover, 20, said. "I wanted to keep Alyssa in a family situation. I didn't want her to grow up with just me."
Derek Schmidt makes dinner for his daughter, Alyssa, as the two spend precious time together laughing and talking. He see his daughter almost every day, but the 3-year-old "Shorty," as her father calls her, lives primarily with her mother, Emily Brookover, Garden City senior.
As with many fathers who are also students and employees, Schmidt tries to juggle conflicting responsibilities, including the most important one—his daughter.
Fathers who double as college students often study with the goal of improving their children's lives by improving their own. It is a difficult task to balance these multiple roles, Schmidt said, and he often finds a high degree of stress in his own life.
"The hardest thing is balancing the needs of my daughter with school and work," said Schmidt, Lawrence resident and Johnson County Community College student.
Brookover admits the difficulty of the dueling roles, but she said she thought it was a common problem.
"It's hard being so young," she said.
"You have to balance your social life with friends while still basically being a teenager with the responsibilities of being an adult, a parent."
Schmidt, who was raised by a single mother, said he felt the need to have a strong presence in his daughter's life. He and Brookover made the decision to attend college together so they could both be there for Alysas. The two, who are no longer dating, both made sacrifices to agree upon living in Lawrence.
"We have always said when it comes to Shorty, it's the both of us," Schmidt said. "We are partners in this together. It's hard, but I wouldn't trade it."
Schmidt, 21, said it was a struggle to find enough hours in the day to get everything done that he needed to do. He works between 30 and 35 hours a week while taking 18 credit hours at Johnson County. Aside from those full-time responsibilities, he is helping to raise his daughter. The need to do everything often leads to feelings of guilt, he said.
"When you see Shorty for the first time at night, all she wants to do is play," Schmidt said. "I feel guilty because I am trying to do homework, and I know she needs me."
Schmidt no longer just has himself to consider, as he and Brookover must coordinate their class schedules, study times and what little social life they have.
Brookover said that parenthood limits her social opportunities. Though she hasn't yet reached the legal drinking age, she said it didn't matter because the bar scene didn't appeal to her.
"When I have time by myself, I would rather sleep than go out," she said.

Permanent fix for potholes not available until spring
By Amanda Beglin
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Recent snowstorms that took minutes to fall have created potholes that will take the city weeks to fix.
University and city street crews have been filling potholes this week after last Friday's snow storm, but the streets won't be permanently repaired until weather conditions improve.
City manager Mike Wildgen said that Lawrence street crews have used temporary patching materials because the city's asphalt plants were closed for repairs during the winter. The plants normally provide hot-mix asphalt for major road construction projects.
and rock combination that is safe to drive over immediately after it is poured. However, the mix will not last as long as hot mix, which will be used to permanently repair the roads in the spring.
REPORT
- To report pot-holes in Lawrence, call 832-3456.
Larry Rawlings, Facilities Operations assistant director of construction, said University crews were using crushed gravel to fill pot holes on campus until the weather improved. Then maintenance crews will patch holes with the cold-mix.
"It is a waste of time to use the cold-mix right now," Rawlings said. "With all the water running around the potholes right now, it won't last. Cold-mix, by nature, is not supposed to last. The gravel will hold up until we can fix them."
Rawlings said the crews had patched sections of Sunnyside Avenue, Naismith Drive, Jayhawk Boulevard in front of the Kansas Union and various parking lots. Kerry Marsh, service manager at Jack Ellena Honda, said his department had not been asked to inspect cars for pothole damage and most pot holes should not cause damage.
"If you're driving 30, 40, in town speeds, you should be okay," Marsh said. "A small pothole may cause you some sensation, but it's not necessarily a bad thing for your car. If you hit a pothole hard enough to jar your teeth, there's probably some damage."
Marsh said a car's alignment and tires would be most likely to be damaged by a pothole.
"A good way to tell is if the steering wheel wobbles, especially at higher speeds," Marsh said.
Most pothole damage is covered by insurance, but it rarely costs more than a $500 deductible to repair. Marsh said.
Wilden said that driver concerned that potholes may have caused damage to their cars could file a claim with the city, but that they likely would not win.
"Potholes are a pretty common thing." Wilden said. "You're supposed to drive for the conditions, and potholes are part of the conditions. The only case might be if there was a 10-foot pothole that we just ignored and didn't clearly mark. But that's not a pothole, that's a complete failure of the street."

Alumnus directs new NBC movie
By Sarah Smarsh
A KU alumnus will make his mark on television's February "sweeps week" when his directorial effort, the made-for-television movie *The Princess and the Marine*, airs at 8 p.m. Sunday on NBC.
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Mike Robe, who graduated from the University of Kansas in 1966 with a bachelor of science in journalism and received a master's of science in radio/television/film in 1968, has received critical acclaim as a director, producer and writer in Hollywood. Robe made a name for himself with such successful television movies as With an Intent to Kill and Shake, Rattle and Roll: An American Love Story.
Robe's current movie, a conclusion to NBC's Valentine's
ALUMNUS MOVIE
week celebration, is based on the true story of a forbidden love between U.S. Marine Lance Corporal Jason Johnson and Bahraini princess Meriam Al-Khalifa. Mark-Paul Gosselair, who also played Zack Morris on NBC's Saved By The Bell, and Marisol Nichols, of the TV drama Resurrection Blvd., star as the young lovers who made international headlines when Al-Khalifa snuck out of her family's mansion, and her country, to escape the marital confines of Muslim religious beliefs.
■ KU alumnus Mike Robe's directorial effort, the Princess and the Marine, will air at 8 p.m. Sunday on NBC. The movie is based on a true story of forbidden love.
"It's an interesting portrait of
a brave young woman willing to risk everything to be with the man she fell in love with," Robe said Saturday, while he was in Lawrence for Kansas' basketball game.
He said one of the movie's most impressive feats was creating Middle Eastern scenery in Palm Springs, Calif., where the made-for-TV movie was filmed. He referred to a scene near the "Tree of Life," a huge tree that grew out of the desert near Saudi Arabia. The tree was digitally photographed and then inserted into shots done in the California desert.
Robe's years at the University led to a career of major movie projects and high-tech special effects. When he was a student, Bruce Linton, professor of journalism and theater and film, ran the department of theater and film and convinced Robe, who had dabbled in acting and
"He made me think that maybe it was a possibility," said Robe as he looked from Oldfather Studios, where he's a board member, to the adjacent apartments he lived in as an undergraduate.

Constituency bill faces committees
vy Brooke Hesler

Kansas staff writer
Last week, the Student Senate constituency bill, which would require senators to meet with their constituency groups at least three times per semester, was approved by committees. However, because of extensive changes between the time it was approved by committees and the time of the full Senate meeting on Wednesday, it had to be sent back to committees.
Marlon Marshall, student body vice president, told senators at Wednesday night's Senate meeting that the new bill was very different than the one that was approved by committees.
Justin Mills, holdover student senator and co-sponsor of the bill, said the changes were made as a result of feedback the co-sponsors had received. The main changes were to the Outreach Board, which will take on responsibility for overseeing senate outreach assignments if the bill passes.
"My goal was not to restructure the Outreach Board, but that's what we had to do," Mills said.
He said many committee members still questioned how the bill would be enforced. The second draft of the bill stated that the Outreach Board would be responsible for making sure that the senators complete their outreach assignments. Mills said that some senators still felt the wording was too vague.
"The intent of the bill is still the same," Mills said.
Mills said the additions clarified how the board would oversee the outreach assignments.
"I think it will give the Outreach Board even more of a purpose," he said. "I'm sure there are people on the board who will be against the change though."
If the bill passes Senate committees and full Senate, Ben Walker, student body president, could still veto it. However, Walker said he hadn't made any decisions yet.
"I think we will wait and see," he said. "Obviously, if it passes by an overwhelming majority, I wouldn't veto it because they would just override it."
Mills said the problem was that not many students knew who represented them.
"Senators are elected to do their jobs," Walker said. "It's up to the constituency to decide if they're doing them properly."
Senate needs a two-thirds majority to override the president's veto. Walker said that although he hadn't considered vetoring the bill, he didn't agree with the idea behind it.
"I'd like to walk into the Union and say, 'Hey, do you know who your student senators are?' " Mills said. "Most of them wouldn't know."
Mills said if Senate failed the bill, he would redraft it and submit it again.
"If student senators know who their constituents are, it makes for better representation," he said.

"He's a very talented director and a writer," Wright said. "Often you must start writing to get in, and KU has a great writing tradition."
Now, however, Robe has the luxury of focusing on his true love; directing.
"I'd rather direct 18 hours a day than write for five," Robe said. But he said it was impossible to direct something if it has not been written, first.
"If it ain't on the page, it ain't on the stage," he said, citing an old saying in his industry.
"We have the oldest marriage in Hollywood." he said, laughing.
Robe, former chair of the University's Theatre and Film Professional Advisory Board, now lives in Studio City, Calif., with his wife of 30 years, Lyne, whom he met at Kansas.
He offered advice to other young people with similar dreams.
His son, Mitchell, a Brown University graduate, and daughter, Blythe, a senior at Lewis and Clark College, want to pursue careers in theater and film. Robe said.
"Finish your degree," he said. "It's the most important time to form a foundation of knowledge."
And, of course, Robe warned of the perils of show business. He said aspiring directors should consider the degree of their passion for the business.
"A career in theater and film is very possible, but very difficult," he said. "On some level, you should need to do it."

Forum presents Vagina
Play of monologues celebrates women; proceeds help shelters
By Danny Phillips
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Students encountered the rare opportunity to help end violence toward women and learn about vaginas at the same time last night.
The capacity crowd of 250 people attended The Vagina Monologues at the Ecumenical Christian Ministries, presented by the February Sisters Association.
Performances tonight at ECM and tomorrow night at Hashinger Hall Theatre are sold out.
All the proceeds from ticket sales and pre-performance bake sales go to Women's Transitional Care Services, a battered women's shelter in Lawrence, and Rape Victims Survivor Services.
Sharon Sullivan, Bowie, Texas, graduate student and the play's fillin director, said this was the first time the University had hosted The Vagina Monologues in correlation with V-Day, a global movement to end domestic violence.
The play, written by Eve Ensler, is based on more than 200 interviews of women, conducted by the author, describing their own vaginas. It explores orgasms, menstrual cycles and self-discovery, among other vaginal topics. It even poses the question, "What would my vagina say if it could speak?"
Sullivan said the buzz surrounding the play was phenomenal, even though the people knew
"Slow down," was the first response in the monologue.
the play featured 13 amateur actors from the University.
"We don't have too many shows about vaginas," she said.
Halley Harsh. Stillwell freshman, performed several monologues, including Flood, a skit about a 72-year-old woman who had never old an orgasm. She said she auditioned for the play because she was intrigued by it and couldn't stay away.
Before the performance began, students could view displays on the first floor of the ECM intended to educate about vaginas and sex, including the Genital Poetry Corner, Sexual Jeopardy and the Dress Your Own Vagina craft table.
"I think I had the same curiosity the audience is going to have," she said.
Andrew Hinshaw, Denver senior, created a vagina using felt and ribbon.
The bake sale table featured edible items inspired by the evening's topic. The anatomicallycorrect shortbread vagina cookies and "Vagina Friendly" buttons were the best sellers, but the chocolate vagina pops also received plenty of attention.
"I've always wanted to have my own vinaqua," he said.
Sullivan said the reason for the weekend's performances came down simply to stopping domestic violence. By the time the play had concluded, 360 women would have been battered, she said.
The Vagina Monologues is the first of three events planned for the 29th annual February Sisters Forum. "Calling the Ghosts: A Story About Rape, War And Women" will be held at 7 p.m. Wednesday at Alderson Auditorium in the Kansas Union. "Sexual Violence As a Weapon Of War," featuring two guest speakers, will be at 7 p.m. Thursday at Woodruff Auditorium.

Local businesses shouldn't receive special protection
Some people are alarmed when a local business closes its doors because it cannot compete with a national chain. Many of these people want to shut out national competition. But is sheltering local business a good idea?
Everyone agrees that wasting money and time is a bad thing. We feel good when we discover things we want on sale People who pay full price do not earn our respect. Instead, we pity money-wasters because they have nothing extra to show for the extra money spent.
So why should you patronize local businesses when it could cost you extra?
There are two different answers based on the type of local business we are dealing with. You could honor yourself by shopping at a local business if it provides unique goods or services that cannot be
obtained at a national competitor.
Earlier this semester, Terri Faune, co-owner of The Casbah boutique, 833 Massachusetts St., correctly said in the Kansan, "Some independently owned businesses stay unique enough that chains won't hurt us."
For example, the atmosphere and homemade ice cream at Silos and Moddy's is

clearly better than Baskin Robbins. So this local business wins. Same goes for Rudy's Pizza, El Mecal and La Familia.
However, when local businesses sell the same wares as national competitors, they lose out. Assuming that the larger store can buy in larger volumes and pass these savings on to the buyer, it is reasonable to conclude that a national chain can sell the same goods cheaper than a local vendor. Thus, shopping at a national chain will usually be cheaper. And we should reward this thriftiness and efficiency by spending our limited dollars with national chains.
So sometimes it is wise to shop locally, sometimes nationally. However, some people insist that Lawrence adopt a local-only shopping alliance in which shoppers pledge to buy only from homegrown shops to prevent national chains from "destroying" and "oppressing" independent businesses.
Although these advocates often rally behind the banner of "the people," they are not people's champions at all. Instead, they are enemies of those members of our society who are trying to be thrifty and stretch a limited income. In other words, these local-only advocates are tacitly implying that you should pay extra for the privilege of bragging that you buy locally. Isn't "I always shop locally" another way of saying "I usually spend more than you"?
Some people actively deprive themselves of the benefits of efficient shopping. For instance, last fall a group of citizens revealed their remedy to the savings and utility that efficient national businesses were providing Lawrence. They proposed the REAL dollar currency system where people exchange their U.S. currency for REAL dollars, which are spendable only at participating stores in Lawrence. This means no shopping in Kansas City or Topeka or on the Internet.
What's next — embargoes on goods from our foreign competitors in Kansas City and Wichita? Customs duties on clothes brought into Lawrence from Oak Park Mall? Who would voluntarily restrict the places where they can spend money?
Perplexing? Yes. Does it affect me? No.
Most alarming, however, are the efforts by some to eliminate everyone's choice to shop where they want. Faune said that there should be limits on how many national chains could set up shop downtown.
Wrong. Let the local stores compete instead of sheltering them from competition that is beneficial to consumers. And this is the bottom line, as noted by Bill Sepic, president of the Chamber of Commerce: "It is not for us to determine whether a homegrown store is better than a national chain store."
For now, that choice is still yours.

Student housing includes good, bad,a lot of ugly
W When I enrolled at the University of Kansas last spring, I had to decide
where to live. The housing application didn't give me much information about which residence hall would be best for me. Now that I live here, I have a better understanding of student housing. So for those who are planning to return to student housing or for incoming students, here are some of your living options:
McColum Hall - McColum is the big hall at the south end of Engel Road. If you've never been in McColum, congratulations. You haven't exposed yourself to the ugly side of the
University. A Free for All caller said it best: "Did we buy McColum Hall at a garage sale?"
How does the University do a sales pitch for McCollum, anyway?

Ryan Wood guest columnist opinion@kansan.com
Oliver Hall — If a hall with community showers could be considered decent, this is the one. It has its own cateria; it's located to classes and athletic venues; and if you're a male on the 10th floor, you can get a good look at the girls tanning at the Nalshmit Hall pool.
I took a tour of Oliver last spring. The girl giv-
to try. You have to eat there anyway. What are you gonna do, starve? Just kidding."
ing the tour took me to the model room shown on all tours, and it actually turned me off. Housing officials need to make that room appealing, or potential res hall rats will save "no."
Gertrude Sellands Pearson-Corbin Halls — All-female halls. I've never been in there, but I've heard great things, mostly from the male population. "Hey Beavis, a building full of chicks!"
Lewis Hall — Laid out as suites. Recent remodeling has paid off, as the hall is posh and comfortable. But it requires residents to volunteer their time for community service. Doesn't that defeat the purpose of "volunteering"?
Hashinger Hall — A residence hall for fine arts students. Because I can't draw, sing, memorize lines or even write, I doubt they would even let me take a tour of this hall.
Naismith Hall — This is the private hall I live in. The food is good; we have cool arcade games; there's a bathroom for every two rooms; hall staff is more lenient on alcohol; and we have a swimming pool that's great for the first and last month of the school year. Naismith, however, sucks out your life savings. We pay cable bills; we pay extra for a phone; and only the wealthiest 10 percent of Americans can afford our parking passes. With all the money I've poured into Naismith, I could buy a wine of McCollum. Not that I'd want to.
Ellsworth Hall — Ellsworth is easily the most boring hall in Kansas. To Ellsworth residents, I have to ask: What made you say, "Wow, this is where I have to live!"? I'd rather live in my car.
So where should you call home? If you have a money tree in your backyard, try Naismith or Lewis. For the rest of you, stick with Oliver. And don't forget your flip-flops.

Checkpoints save lives worth hassle
The prevention of drunken driving outweighs nuisance of being stopped on highway.
On Feb. 3, the Douglas County Sheriff's Department conducted drunken driving checkpoints on Highway 59 south of Lawrence. From 11 p.m. to 1 a.m., sheriff's officers stopped 136 cars and arrested two people for driving under the influence. Those two arrests may have saved someone's life.
Checkpoint stops usually take only a few minutes. The inconvenience that this may cause is trivial when compared with the grave consequences of drunken driving.
The sheriff's department receives a grant from the Kansas Department of Transportation to help cover overtime and other costs of the Feb. 3 checkpoint and the five more it plans to conduct between now and October.
The grant also helps to provide the brochure officers pass out to every stopped motorist. The brochures include drunken driving statistics and help explain the purpose of the checkpoints.
Cathy Slade, the state director of the Kansas Drunk Driving Prevention Project, said the brochures also included an evaluation that asked for feedback from those who went through the checkpoint.
"The majority of the people who fill them out don't mind being stopped," Slade said. "They know that the sheriff's department is trying to keep drunk drivers off the road."
Slade said checkpoints were a major deterrent in keeping drunken drivers off the road. Drunk driving is the leading cause of death for people 15 to 24 years old, and Slade said that the chance that a driver had been drinking increased as the night grew later and that the project supported anything that attempted to reduce the number of intoxicated drivers.
"Drunk driving is a loaded weapon." she said.
And it leads to unnecessary, untimely deaths. Keep that in mind if a drunk-driving checkpoint ever seems to be an inconvenience.

I'm not a racist or anything, but I think it kind of sucks there's Black Entertainment Television and Black History Month and other exclusive Black organizations. But if there was anything like this for Whites, we'd all be looked at as racists.
I just got kicked out, so I moved into a pothole on 15th Street, and the pothole is bigger than my apartment.

Agnostic potholes make me believe Chenowish shouldn't wear white short-sleeved T-shirts. Who wins now?
Wait a second. You guys are telling me that that was soap in those dispensers in Wescoe? I think my nose is in trouble.

Student dads must deal with stress
By Michelle Ward

Fathers attempting to merge parenthood with college life find it a difficult task. They must juggle the full-time responsibilities of fatherhood with those of school and often work, leading to a high level of stress.
"There really aren't many couples that attempt this simultaneously. I wouldn't wish that on anyone," said Ron Andrews, who is attending the University of Kansas along with his wife, Brandy, and together they are raising 3-year-old Mikey.
"The challenge is to be able to find a balance." Wade said.
John Wade, a staff psychologist with Counseling and Psychological Services, said there are a number of difficult stressors involved for these parents, who have more responsibilities than traditional students. They must work to keep an existence outside of the school and family mode.
Wade suggests incorporating social outings into ordinary, daily activities. Everyone must eat lunch, and student fathers should make plans to eat with friends. Eating with friends allows them to complete a necessary task in an enjoyable manner. Wade said.
"The best predictor of one's ability to cope with stress is his level of social support." Wade said. "It's really important that he feels he has friends and loved ones that support him. He needs friends and loved ones playing an active role in his life."
Another key for success for fathers is finding other fathers, Wade said. If they
have the feeling they aren't alone, it is a lot easier to get through the difficult times and they can also get ideas and see how others have handled similar situations.
Pat Pisani, executive director of Hilltop Child Development Center, said quality time with one's children is especially important. Small pockets of time doing what children want to are much better than an extensively planned afternoon.
Pisani recommends doing things that make children feel grown up. When fathers are doing chores around the house, they should let the children help them, incorporating things for them to do.
"They really feel good that they are helping out," Pisani said. "It's important to set aside time to do what your child wants to do, though. It's hard to do, but it makes it an enjoyable experience."
While the Andrews' family succeeds in school and life, they take each hurdle as it comes. They recently had a major success in their house as Mikey just completed potty training.
"We finally got through it," Andrews said. "We are teaching him his alphabet now."

Studies, parenting pose challenges for dads
Continued from page 1B
For Ron Andrews, sleep is the one thing that he can easily cut out of his life. The father of 3-year-old Mikey has spent the last three years deprived of sleep. Andrews, a 27-year-old Lawrence sophomore, and his wife, Brandi, 23, study at the University. Along with studying a double major in computer science and math, he has two jobs, working 50 to 60 hours a week.
"I only sleep three-and-a-half to four hours a night," Ron said. "The hardest thing is missing my kid. If I'm not at work, I am home playing with him. We make sure to do a lot of things with Mikey."
The blond-haired little boy rules the roost at the Andrews'.
Full of energy, he talks to everyone and anyone in the room. He drives his little police cruiser around the house or spends time playing his favorite game with his dad chasing him around the house.
"They go to college. Later, I will go," Mikey said.
The couple made the decision to go back to school to give their son a better life, tackling the challenge by attending the University simultaneously.
"I can only go so far without a degree. I want to get an education to give him a better life than I had." Ron said.
Brandi will earn her degree in nursing in May with a 3.8 GPA, and her husband will finish within the next couple of years. The two decided to go back to school while Mikey was still
young. They thought it would be easier to finish now rather than when he grew older.
"It will be easier in the long run," Brandi said. "He will appreciate the nicer house when he gets older. He hopefully won't remember how busy we are now."
The Andrews said they have survived their years at the University with the help of friends. Ron said they had lot of friends who occasionally picked up Mikey from dav care.
"There's no way we could do all we are without the support system we have," Brandi said. "It's a relief that we are almost done. We are at the top of the hill. Things are starting to go better."
Lauder, Lawrence resident and KU alumnus, plays and watches TV with Mikey and occasionally picks him up from dav care.
One of those friends, Scott
Lauder was friends with the Andrews before they had their son, he said, and the friendship has developed into helping them with Mikey.
"I have fun visiting," Lauder said. "I didn't realize I was doing anything different."
While a calmer future awaits the Andrews family, things are less certain for Schmidt and Brookover. After graduation, the two may not live in the same town, but Schmidt said he was confident his daughter knew who her family was.
"Shorty just knows that Emily is her mom, and I am her dad," Schmidt said. "She will always know that."

Electrical repairs will shut off power to campus Sunday
By Andrew Davies
writer @kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
University of Kansas officials will shut down power Sunday to make repairs to an electrical switch.
Several campus buildings will be without power from 6 a.m. to 4 p.m. Sunday.
University Relations, Twente Hall, Grace Pearson and Douthart scholarship halls, Stauffer-Flint Hall, the Hall Center for the Humanities, Haworth Hall, Malott Hall, Watkins Health Center, Robinson Center and some of the power plant and Facilities Operations will be closed from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. Long said.
Blake Hall, Fraser Hall, Watson Library, the chancellor's residence, Miller and Watkins scholarship halls, the Dole Human Development Center, the Computer Center, some of the power plant and Sprague Hall will be without power from 6 a.m. to 11 a.m., said Jim Long, assistant provost.
He said the University decided that on Sunday there were fewer campus activities to interrupt.
"There was thought of doing it on this Saturday," Long said. "We determined that, based on the calendar and campus activities, we should move it to Sunday."
Carol Seager, director of Watkins Health Center, said back-up generators would bring power to the center for patient care during the repairs.
Two main power switches serve the campus system where the Kansas Power and Light system ends. The two main switches are located south of the power plant and west of Burt Hall.
The Burt Hall switch distributes power to the west side of the University system. The power switch south of the power plant distributes power to the east side of campus.
Doug Riat, director of Facilities Operations, said that moisture got into a section of the main switch south of the power plant. He said the moisture caused a section of the insulation to blow and cut off power to Strong Hall, Wescoe Hall and Spencer Research Library. Riat blamed the failure on the age of the system's equipment.
Riat said the buildings were able to keep power through the use of sectionalizer switches. The sectionalizer switches direct power from the main switch to individual buildings.
Riat said there was no threat of danger by redirecting the sectionalizer at Snow Hall to help feed Wescoe and Strong Hall.
"We have reason to believe that we may find one section or more where there is a problem, so we'll go in and make repairs to those areas," he said.
Riat said Facilities Operations would start working on the power switch south of the power plant at 6 a.m. The switch is above ground.
Riat said the switch serving Wescoe Hall, Strong Hall and Spencer Research Library was repaired Wednesday and would be re-energized today.
He said workers would de-energize each of the sectionalizers, then remove the panels and clean, inspect and add insulation to the top of each sectionalizer.

At 107, Elspeth Boyd still finds ways to make the most of life

Ispeth Boyd doesn't feel her age — she lives it. And at 107 years, Boyd manages rather well. "There's no use taking life and not enjoying it," Boyd says with a slight British accent, "it's living life and loving it you see."
Boyd lives with her daughter, Beverly Boyd, professor of English, who took her mother in after her father died 20 years ago. The increase in crime near Elspeth's Staten Island, N.Y., home prompted Beverly Boyd and her brother, Jim, to move their mother somewhere else.
"We were great friends, so I was delighted to have her." Beverly Boyd said.
Mercedes Bern-Klug, associate director and social work researcher at KU Med's Center on Aging, said the Boyds were a great example of the changing demographics in America. People 65 and older, such as Beverly Boyd, who would not give her exact age, are in the largest age demographic in the United States. Elspeth Boyd and other people 85 and older are in the age group growing fastest by percent.
"In this generation we're seeing more people in advanced adulthood. Bern-Klug said, "We're changing what old age means in this society. It's time to revise our assumptions about older adulthood and give credit to its social support."
"I had to learn how to care for someone who gets sick, since I had never married and had kids," Beverly Boyd said. "I'm sort of an armchair physician — if I don't know what to do, I find out by reading."
While Beverly Boyd was delighted for her mother to move in, her life has changed dramatically.
Debbie Prentice, health health aide, has been caring for Elspeth for five years.
Visiting nurses come to the house seven days a week to help Elspeth Boyd with bathing, taking medication and eating breakfast and lunch.
"She's been enjoyable to be around — I love to hear her singing." Prentice said. Prentice said she had learned a lot about Elspeth's home country, Scotland, and about its culture — including how to make tea.
"You can get hooked on tea," Elspeth
One of Elspeth Boyd's favorite pastimes — reading — has become difficult because of the macular degeneration in her eyes. The disease has left her legally blind and unable to read, watch television or cross stitch.
Boyd said. "But it has to be made the proper way, in a teapot."
So Elspeth Boyd sings and listens to music — passions that started when she was a child and carried her through the Leeds College of Music in England when she was a young woman.
"She wakes up singing when she feels well, which is wonderful. She's a magnificent woman," Beverly Boyd said.
Elspeth Boyd chuckled at her daughter's compliment and said that she used to like singing but that her voice was not so good anymore.
I used to sing for concerts," she said. "I don't know if people do that so much anymore."
Elspeth Boyd loves visiting with people, too, but Beverly Boyd said that had become more difficult because her mother's health fluctuated.
"Sometimes she's not well enough, and we have to say we're sorry," Beverly Boyd said. "Then they give up."
Besides learning how to take care of someone else, the Boyd's relationship
changed when Elspeth Boyd moved in with her daughter.
i mner mother now," Beverly Boya said. "She doesn't like it that way, either. She's a very independent person and doesn't like to be bossed."
The relationship flip-flop has taught Beverly Bovd to take her time.
"You have to learn patience in this game, which I don't come with," she said. "You can't push them to do things. It's very hard for an active person like myself. You just give up on speed because it's not going to be had."
Despite the inconveniences, Beverly Boyd said she wouldn't have it any other way. Having someone else care for her mother on a full-time basis was not an option.
"I think American society treats its elder miserably," she said. "I know of grandchildren who don't want their grandparents in the house. I just hope she never gets so sick that she has to move out. I don't think I can do that."
The visiting nurses also have been great, Beverly Boyd said, but finding someone who can come in on weekend afternoons is often tough.
"My life has completely changed but I wouldn't change anything," Beverly Boyd said. "I wish I could give Mother her health back, but I can't."
Elspeth Boyd's advanced age poses new challenges for area health-care providers.
Bern-Klug said that a nationwide shortage of nurses and other professionals on aging has created severe manpower issues.
"We're close to a crisis for having people available to work with older adults," Bern-Klug said.
A lot of people ask the pair what is Elspeth Boyd's secret to longevity. The Boys both chuckle and shake their heads. There isn't a secret at all.
"She broke her hip when she was 100, and they told me that the most we could expect was two more years," Beverly Boyd said. "We're still laughing."

Kinsey, who left the team to concentrate on academics, played in 16 of Kansas' 23 games this season and averaged 1.9 points and 0.6 rebounds.

"The playing part didn't have anything to do with it," he said. "Since August I haven't had a break. My academics haven't been where I want them to be. It's not eligibility, it's that I want my academics at a certain level."

Axtell is averaging 5.8 points and 2.8 rebounds per game.
"There is no exact timetable on when Luke will return," Williams said. "But we do need Luke to play effectively, and you can't do that unless you're healthy. This is another big blow for our basketball team at this time, but we've got to move on and hope that this will help us get Luke more healthy and ready to play for us as we get to tournament time."

Fierce rematch brewing
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
As No. 6 Kansas (19-4, 8-3) heads to Iowa State (20-3, 9-2) in a rematch with the No. 7 Cyclones tomorrow, some questions arise.
Are they out for revenge? Will sophomores Nick Collison and Kirk Hinrich be booed because they ditched their home state to go to Kansas? Can Kansas still win the conference?
"I just want to win," Hinrich said. "I've never won there, and we've never beat them since I've been here. I'm sure they're feeling like there's no wav we can beat them."
"They present so many problems for you," Williams said. "They can shoot from the outside, while (Senior forwards Martin) Rancik and (Paul) Shirley give them things inside. They defend your rear end off."
Iowa State beat Kansas in a 79-77 thriller in Allen Fieldhouse 11 days ago. Senior guards Jamaal Tinsley and Kantrail Horton did the most damage. Tinsley hit three of six three-point attempts and dished six assists while Horton hit all four of his three-pointers, including one from nearly 30 feet.
Kansas is tied with No. 14 Oklahoma for second in the Big 12 Conference behind Iowa State, and a loss tomorrow could realistically knock the Jayhawks out of the title race. Kansas has lost its last four games against the Cyclones and Iowa State owns the nation's second-longest home court winning streak at 33 games.
Coach Roy Williams said his Jayhawks would need their best effort of the season to have a chance at slowing the Cyclones, a team he said was definitely one of the nation's best.
"They are extremely difficult to guard when they have three guys, particularly two of them, that really are point guard types that can penetrate so well." Williams said. "What we hope for is that they do not make their
The guards can penetrate, too. Williams said that containing Tinsley and Horton on the dribble would be key to slowing the Cyclones. Both managed to create their own shots and plays for others because they were quicker than Hinrich and junior guard Jeff Boschee.
Hinrich, a native of Sioux City, Iowa, said he would love nothing more than to put an end to that streak.
outside shots.
"If you allow them to penetrate, they get all the way in, and then all of a sudden your big people get involved. Then they get the ball to their big people, and it's usually a layup."
Tomorrow the struggling Jayhawks will get their chance to put up or shut up against a Cyclone team that hasn't lost in more than a month. Despite the
Cyclones' winning streak. Collison talked tough about his team's chances.
"We have to be bigger than that," Collison said. "We have to be upset with what's happened and go on and play. Saying our confidence is shaky is kind of an excuse. I think that is for people that are not tough enough to play at this level."

"I want to work on strength and develop speed in the 800-meter
By Michael Sudhalter
Gruber has excelled in the 1,000-meter, 1,500-meter and 3,000-meter events and qualified for the NCAA competition in the mile and distance relay events. So why would Gruber want to compete in another event this late in the season?

Gruber, who will attempt to qualify for the NCAA 800-meter competition, is no stranger to the 800-meter event. He won consecutive Colorado state track titles in the event in 1996 and 1997 and won several 800-meter runs in his early years as a Jayhawk. Gruber said the return to the 800 should help his overall performance with the Jayhawks.

event." Gruber said.
Gruber, who broke the school record in the 1,000 meter event, will be the lone Jayhawk at the Adidas Golden Spike Invitational in Pocatello, Idaho, tomorrow. The event will be shown at 4 p.m. Sunday on ESPN.
"I think it's a great opportunity for Charlie and the University of Kansas that he can compete on national television," coach Stanley Redwine said. "He has prepared well for this race and will have a good international field to compete against. We are looking for him to have a great meet."
Gruber may never have gotten the chance to run on ESPN if he had not run cross country as a training sport in high school.
"I played soccer all through high school, but then decided to run cross country my sophomore year as a way to get in shape for basketball." Gruber said.
Once he established himself as a cross country athlete, Gruber expanded his career into the winter and spring track and field seasons.
"I enjoy both sports, but you are more dependent on your teammates in cross country," Gruber said. "I enjoy track because of the competition and shorter distances."
As one of the team's veterans, Gruber is happy with the way the team has come together and gained a Top 10 ranking under a new coaching staff.
"I was really happy to see us ranked No. 10 nationally, and the team is excited with the conference meet coming up," Gruber said. "Coach Clark has done a fabulous job getting the distance runners ready."
Gruber would like to compete in track and field after graduation but also would like a career in the high tech sector of business.

Kansas outslugged St. Mary's (Calif.) early, and then held off a late Gael rally in its 13-10 victory in the opening round of the Rawlings Invitational in Phoenix.
The Jayhawks (4-0) collected a season-high 16 hits on the night and blew the game open with an eight-run fourth inning. Every Jayhawk starter recorded at least one hit in the game.
"The key for me was finally being able to establish my fastball," Olson said. "Once that happened, I started mixing in my off-speed pitches, and I was able to keep

them off-balance."
Olson attributed his success to settling down after the Gaels' strong first inning.
Sparked by a Tribble two-run double and RBI singles by junior third baseman Ryan Klocksien and senior right fielder Jesse Gremminger, the Jayhawks scored eight runs in the fourth and took a 12-3 advantage.
But St. Mary's wouldn't go away.

Kansas freshman left fielder Matt Tribble began the Jayhawk scoring in the second inning with a two-out, two-run single. Following a single run by St. Mary's in the bottom of the second inning, Kansas exploded in the fourth.

Hecklers must be cautious with ridicule
While I was browsing through the Kansan Free for All on Feb. 5, something jumped out at me and caught my attention. Someone had called in and said, "Eric Chenowith is the worst basketball player ever."
That took me and my memory back a few years. On Jan. 27, 1997, Kansas State Collegian sports columnist Todd Stewart wrote that K-State basketball forward Manny Dies, of Wichita, was the "worst player in the history of basketball." His entire column denigrated Dies' on-court performance. When Dies play began to improve, Stewart claimed credit for the improvement. Then, on May 5, 1997, Stewart wrote a satirical column in which he made up quotes and attributed them to Dies and then-coach Tom Asbury, among others.
At that point, the 6-foot-8 Dies and Australian teammate Pero Vasiljevic took exception to what Stewart had written and went to Stewart's fraternity house looking for him, apparently to straighten him out. Stewart wasn't at the Kappa Sigma house, but he was at home when one of his frat brothers called and told him that Dies and Vasiljevic were looking for him.
When the two hoopsters arrived at Stewart's home, Stewart wisely locked himself in his roommate's bedroom. Dies broke through the bedroom door, but Stewart had fled, shirtless and shoeless, through a second-floor window and escaped.
In July 1997, the Riley County attorney charged Dies with criminal damage to property, assault and criminal trespass
Vasiljevic was also charged with assault and criminal trespass. All the charges were misdemeanors. Neither player was suspended, and I think that was OK. A player should be suspended only after he is convicted.
In November 1997, Dies pleaded guilty to criminal damage to property and agreed to pay for the broken door. The county attorney's office dropped charges against Vasiljevic. Dies and Vasiljevic sat out K-State's first two exhibition games, but Dies was back in action in the regular-season opener.
Because I remember the previous story, a bell went off in my head when somebody labeled Chenowith as "the worst player ever." The K-State incident suggests that people should be careful what they say.
Just imagine what would have happened if a Kansas athlete — Lester Earl or one of his teammates, Nick Bradford, for example — had charged into the stands after a heckler.
Be aware — players do sometimes lose their cool — Latrell Sprewell and Roberto Alomar come to mind immediately.
Incidentally, Chenowith is not the first Kansas center to be consistently criticized. I remember 7-foot-2 Greg Ostertag, who graduated in 1995, sometimes got no respect.
An example: When I was an undergraduate student at Washburn, a guard from K-State decided he wasn't getting enough playing time and transferred to Washburn. In Broadcasting I, the former Wildcat voiced an opinion highly critical of Ostertag, generally disrespected him and said he would much rather see B.J. Williams out there lumping center.
Among my friends, Ostertag was fair game for razzing when fellow 7-footer Bryant Reeves of Oklahoma State, now with the Vancouver Grizzlies, outscored him.
However, in 1997, Ostertag signed a six-year, $39 million contract extension with the NBA's Utah Jazz. I had no idea he was worth so much. At the All-Star break, he was averaging 4.3 points a game and 4.6 rebounds.
Because of how well Ostertag is doing financially, I don't think Chenowith needs to worry about his future or be bothered by a few boos. If Ostertag can make it in the NBA and earn so much money, so can Chenowith.
I have confidence in that. I'll even volunteer to be his agent.

Sooners could play 14 games next year
NORMAN, Oklahoma. — National champion Oklahoma finalized its 2001 schedule yesterday with an agreement for a home-and-home series with Air Force.
The Sooners, who went 13-0 last season en route to their seventh national title, could wind up playing 14 games next season. After opening against North Carolina in the Hispanic Scholarship Fund Classic, they play the usual 11-game schedule. There also is the possibility of reaching the Big 12 title game and playing in a bowl game.
"We have worked hard putting together a schedule that offers opportunities for success for our team
Q
and one that our loyal fans will enjoy," athletic director Joe Castiliolone said.
V
Oklahoma will play seven home games. North Carolina visits on Aug. 25, with North Texas on Sept. 8 and Tulsa on Sept. 15. Conference home games are Sept. 29 against Kansas State. Oct. 20 against Baylor, Nov. 10 against Texas A&M and Nov. 24 against Oklahoma State.
The Sooners play at Air Force on Sept. 1, the first meeting between the schools. Their other road games are Oct. 13 at Kansas, Oct. 27 at Nebraska and Nov. 17 at Texas Tech. The annual game with Texas in Dallas is Oct. 6.
Only two years left for preseason games
The Sooners have two open weeks, Sept. 22 and Nov. 3.
College football is on the verge of an explosion of "extra" games to open the 2001 season, with no less than nine in the works for the final week in August.
With NCAA legislation eliminating such fund-raising games after 2002, several sports foundations
are jumping on the "classic" game bandwagon. They figure there's publicity to be had, money to be made and plenty of schools ready to pocket a minimum of $600,000 for squeezing in a 12th regular-season game.
in a 12th regular-season game.
"The floodgates are open for two more years and everyone is trying to get a piece of the golden goose," said Mike Cleary, president of the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics, a group that benefits financially from the two longest-running "extra" games, the Kickoff and Pirsik classics.
"Here we have a group of presidents and administrators who want these games to end, and then they let six or seven more come in the last two years," Cleary said. "It makes no sense. It's laughed."
The new rules begin in 2002, the final season of "presseason exempt contests," as the NCAA refers to the games. The BCA Classic, however, will be played through 2004, which is when its current television contract expires.
The rapid increase of "extra" games brought about the rule changes. In 1996, there were two classics; in '98 there were four.
Here's how it works: Any Division IA or I-AA school can play 12 games in the regular sea son but only in years when there are 14 Saturdays during NCAA-specified time period. The 12 game scenario occurs only six times over the next 20 years — in 2002, 2003, 2008, 2013, 2014 and 2019.
Potvin expendable, traded to L.A. Kings

LOS ANGELES — The Los Angeles Kings acquired struggling goalie Felix Potvin from the Vancouver Canucks yesterday in exchange for future considerations.
Potvin, who was waiting in Vancouver for immigration papers before reporting to the Kansas City Blades, became expendable last week when the Canucks

added Dan Cloutier in a trade with Tampa Bay. Kansas City is Vancouver's IHL affiliate.
The two-time All-Star with Toronto was given the choice of reporting to the minors on a 14-day conditioning stint or being placed on waivers. He chose the conditioning stint on Sunday and was practicing with a university team this week while he waited for immigration clearance to play in the United States.
Potvin joined the Canucks in December 1999 in a deal with the New York Islanders. He finished his career in Vancouver with a 26-30-10 record and a 2.84 GAA.
NFL
League minimum rises with salary cap growth
WASHINGTON — Minimum salaries for NFL players will go up by more than 9 percent next season.
The NFL Players Association released the new figures, which were set to coincide with the increase in the league's salary cap from $62.4 million to about $68 million.
Under the new scale, veterans with five or more seasons will be paid a minimum of $484,000, up 9.1 percent from the $440,000 minimum of last season. The scale runs down to $212,000, the minimum for players with less than one year's experience.
The tender offer for free agents also went up.
A team must now offer a restricted free agent $519,000 if it wants right of first refusal. Last year, that figure was $471,000.
If a team wants first refusal and a first-room choice for a freeagent, the minimum tender is $1.13 million. For first and third-round choices and right of first refusal, it's $1.508 million.

Freshman divers reach finals

The Big 12 Conference swimming and diving championships started with young Jayhawks producing for the diving team in Austin, Texas.
Freshman Antoine Lewis led the team as he reached the finals of the one-meter dive with a prelimits score of 247.05 on Wednesday, Lewis ended the finals competition with a score of 251.85 and an eight place finish. Following in Lewis' footsteps was fellow freshman Anthony DiGiacomo, who won the consolation finals with a score of 284.05 and a ninth place finish.
"For Antoine to reach the finals as a freshman is a big accomplishment. Both guys stepped up as freshmen and did really well," said Kansas diving coach Kevin Lawrence.
score of 267.95. Sophomore Kristi Misejka placed 13th in the consolation finals with a final score of 256.75. Junior Tammy Pace was the final jayhawk diver to place during the competition. Pace placed 22nd with a score of 190.80.
Although the women had a strong performance in the consolation round. Lawrence said they were disappointed not to reach the championship round.
The women's diving team was led by junior Rebecca McFall. McFall captured the consolation title to earn a ninth place finish with a
"We made a couple of mistakes that kept us out of the finals, and in a field this competitive those will hurt you." Lawrence said. "But they stepped up and dove very well in the consolation finals, and they'll use this experience as we go into the three-meter board."
Those who did make it to the finals were Texas divers Troy Dumais and Kristen Marquis; the two captured the men's and women's titles in the one-meter diving competition.
This was the third year of Big 12 competition for Dumals.
"I definitely am happy with my performance," Dumais said. "Two years ago at the conference meet, I
hit my head during the three-meter competition and was not able to dive for the one-meter springboard title. Then last season, I competed only on the three-meter, so this is a great win for me and a great way to start out the championships for Texas."
On the women's side, Marquis headed into finals in third place but secured a first place finish with her last dive, which gave her a one-point win ahead of Missouri's Kristy Wanner.
"I knew for me to win it was going to have to come down to my last dive," Marquis said, "But I was confident going in and focused on competing well. Everything clicked for me on my last dive, and I am extremely happy to finish the first night with a win."
The Big 12 Championships are being held at the Jamail Swim Center in Austin.
This year's competition also marks the first time that the men's and women's competitions will be held at the same site. The meet will continue throughout the weekend.

'Hawks to face ranked teams defend record
By Brent Briggeman
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
"I've been thinking about this every day," said sophomore pitcher Kirsten Milhoan. "I'm just excited more than anything."
With games against No.1 UCLA and two other ranked teams this weekend at the UNLV Classic in Las Vegas, the Kansas softball team could gain national respect if it plays its cards right.
Kansas coach Tracy Bunge said the weekend would provide an opportunity for her team to prove its 5-1 record is no fluke.
"People nationally look at our record and say 'yeah,' that's nice, but who have they beat?" "Bunge said. "So we'll see how we fare against some stiffer competition."
Top-ranked UCLA is the epitome of "stiffer competition." The Bruins are 9-0 this season, including a win against the Cal-State Fullerton team that beat Kansas 12-1 two weeks ago at the Diamond Invitational in Albuquerque, N.M.
The Bruins are led by junior catcher Stacey Nuvenman — a key player for the 2000 U.S. Olympic team that won a gold medal in Sydney.
On paper, UCLA is the decided favorite, but Kansas doesn't seem concerned.
The Bruins also have Olympic alternate Amanda Freed on their roster.
"We know we are the underdogs," Milhoan said. "But if anything that just helps us relax. We won't let the pressure get to us, we're just out to prove what we can do."
Bunge agreed.
"We won't be intimidated by anyone," she said. "Things can happen in this game, and it's not always the best team, talent-wise, that wins."
For Kansas to have success, it needs continued production from its offense. The team is hitting .380 in six games this season, a drastic improvement compared to last year's .228 team average. Also, the Jayhawks have scored 35 runs — a total that took them 11 games to reach last year.
Leah Tabb has been a big part of the resurgence. The junior catcher leads Kansas with two home runs and nine RBI. Her grand slam propelled Kansas to a come-from-behind 7-6 win against New Mexico.
"We just seem to be more relaxed this year," Tabb said. "We're just out there having fun and not worrying about our mistakes."
On the mound, Kansas will continue to develop Milhoan and Kara Pierce. Both made their debuts two weeks ago at the Diamond Invitational and accounted for all five Kansas wins.
Bunge wouldn't go so far as to say she was impressed by her new pitchers, but she was happy with the progress they've made.
"They got better game-to-game," she said. "They'll impress me when they start shutting out some serious teams."
They will get their chance this soon. Kansas starts the UNLV Classic today against UCLA at 11:30 a.m. The Jayhawks play California this afternoon, Oregon and UNLV on Saturday, and finish with Southern Utah on Sunday.

Jayhawks search for route to win
By Jessie Mever

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team is finding out that close doesn't count. The Jayhawks have been able to keep games tight, but they haven't found a way to come out ahead.
Failure to capitalize down the stretch has left Kansas in the midst of another three-game losing streak heading into the end of the season.
But to snap their string of losses, the Jayhawks will have to knock off No. 6 Iowa State, a team that some consider capable of winning the NCAA Championship. Tip-off is at 3:05 p.m. in Allen Fieldhouse and will be televised on ESPN2.
"What's happening is that we're able to demonstrate that we are able to play with anyone," said coach Marian Washington. "We just can't find a way to win."
The Jayhawks (9-14 overall and 3-9 in the Big 12 Conference) have been able to stay in most ball games this season, with 10 of their 14 losses coming by a 10-point margin or less.
"We lose every game by five or 10 points ... that's not progress for me," said senior forward Jaclyn Johnson. "We're just playing the same way and seeing the same results."
A lack of consistency has plagued the Kansas bench for much of the season.
Seniors Jennifer Jackson and Brooke Reves committed a combined 18 turnovers and scored just 10 points in Wednesday's loss to No. 14 Texas Tech. Johnson, who scored 20 points, was the only Kansas player to score more than six points.
Although Johnson has led the team throughout the season, averaging 16.7 points and 7.7 rebounds, it is going to take much more than Johnson alone to upend the Cyclones.
Iowa State (20-3 and 10-2) is looking for vengeance after No. 19 Colorado upset the Cyclones 73-66 on Wednesday in Boulder, Colo., ending Iowa State's five-game win streak.
"The they have an all-around game, and I think we're really lacking in some areas," Johnson said. "So we've got to stick to our game plan and not let them exploit us."

Stopping Cyclone guards key for Kansas
By Zac Hunter
Kansan sportswriter
Eleven days ago, Kansas had a chance to take a two-game lead in conference play, but it lost 79-77 to Iowa State, and the Cyclones took the Big 12 lead back with them to Ames, Iowa.
Tomorrow, the Jayhawks will try to beat conference leading Iowa State and take share of the Big 12 lead.
matter if the Jayhawks can't contain the Iowa State's guards.
But that's easier said than done. No. 7 Iowa State (21-3 overall and 9-2 Big 12 Conference) has beaten No. 6 Kansas (19-4 overall and 8-3 Big 12 Conference) the first four times the two teams have played and Hilton Coliseum is anything but a friendly place for opposing teams — the Cyclones have won their last 33 home games.

But the location of the game won't
"They play in a great place where the crowd will be into it," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "I really do believe that they are one of the top five teams in the country, and they have not done anything on their record to make me not feel that way."

Kirk Hinrich:
defensive play
against Iowa State
guards key to game
Guards with speed have been the Jayhawks' Achilles heel all season and Monday's loss to Baylor did nothing to dispute that. The 'Hawks
allowed 35 points to Baylor's guards, but that was nothing compared to the shooting clinic the Cyclone's back-court put on in Allen Fieldhouse 11 days ago.
"We have had teams in the past where the guards did not need help." Williams said. "They could guard anybody. With this team we do need to able to guard the ball better individually, as well as know how far to go to help and how far to get in there when you are trying to support the drive."
Iowa State seniors Jamaal Tinsley and Kantrail Horton combined to score 37 points and hit seven of 10 three-pointers in the Cyclones' upset of Kansas.
The key for the Jayhawks will be stopping Tinsley, who is both an effective three-point shooter and can be absolutely lethal with his quickness.
"It is going to be a tough job," said
sophomore guard Kirk Hinrich. "We have to defend their dribble penetration, and we have to get up to the shooters. When they have a combination of good shooters and great penetrators, that's tough to guard."
Despite their prior loss to the Cyclones, the Jayhawks have reason to believe things might be different this time around. Because Hinrich was in foul trouble early in the teams' last encounter, Kansas guard Jeff Boschew was forced to defend Tinsley for much of the game.
"We have a chance to play them again and to play them better," Williams said after Kansas' first loss to Iowa State. "Hopefully we will be able to get a hand up in some of those threes. Hopefully we will take care of business. We are not out of it by any means."

The Nields bring tour to Lawrence
THAT'S UNDERSTANDABLE. TO BE LIMITATED THE BARD LINGUAL GYRATIONS CAN BE A BIT...
Special to the Kansan
When Bob McWilliams first saw the Nields in concert in 1995, he knew he had to bring them to Lawrence.
By Nicole Roche
The Nields have become known for their trademark sound, which Romanoff said is, "somewhere between Natalie Merchant and Dar Williams."
The duet will perform at the Crimson Cafe, creating a club atmosphere complete with stage and lights.
"I have seen them in concert six or seven times," said McWilliams, president of the nonprofit organization West Side Folk. "They are simply one of the best performers in the contemporary folk rock scene that I have ever seen."
The sisters' current college four is only four dates long, Romanoff said, because lead singer Katryna is six months pregnant.
The band has been building popularity over the years by touring nonstop and gaining radio play.
Part of this distinct sound results from the close relationship between the sisters.
"They just love playing colleges," Romanoff said. "I would say that 70 percent of their audience is college students."
Now McWilliams has the cifance to see them again this time in Lawrence
"This is the first time we have ever had a concert on campus, so it's kind of an experiment," McWilliams said, "but we'd like to bring in more cutting-edge rock performers in the future."
Nerissa and Katryna Nields, sisters who make up the acoustic folk rock band, will be performing at 8 p.m. tomorrow in the Burge Union.
"There is nothing like harmony between sisters," Romanoff said. "They have been singing together since they were able to talk."
Patty Romanoff, the Nields manager, has been working with the band for seven years and has seen them through their eight studio albums, including the 2000 release 'If You Lived Here You'd Be Home Now.'
"We've been getting a lot of radio air play in Lawrence," Romanoff said. "They've wanted us to come here for a long time."

Seminoles hope win will build fan morale
The Associated Press
TALLAHASSEE, Fla.
Working in the shadows of the nation's most successful football program, Florida State's Steve Robinson has struggled to put together a respectable basketball team in the rugged Atlantic Coast Conference.
A 74-71 Valentine's Day win at No. 17 Maryland may be just what the fourth-year coach had been seeking to rekindle fan interest in his young Seminoles.
"I would inwould probably be the biggest boost to his program of anything that has happened yet," football coach Bobby Bowden said yesterday.
"I would think that win there
The win left Florida State with a 7-17 record, 2-9 in the ACC, going into tomorrow's home game
"We just can't be a football team. We have to be a basketball team also. We're in the best basketball league in the
al participants in the NCAA College World Series although they have never won it.
"Our fans have become accustomed for us competing for national titles and we're not there by any means yet," Robinson said. "They want us to be at that level."
against No. 12 Virginia. "I told the guys enjoy it," the former Kansas assistant said. "Now we get to play the team that beat Duke."
"We just can't be a football team," said Jim Giroux, a longtime Florida State fan and season-
country.'
Attendance in the 13,000-seat Civic Center has fallen in recent years. Less than 4,000 fans showed up for the game against Duke.
It's been a long haul for the 43 year-old Robinson, who left a successful Tulsa program to try to get Florida State into the ACC's upper echelon.
Bowden, who coached a little basketball himself when he was young, said Robinson was the right person for the challenge.
The Seminoles were 18-14 in his first year with talent recruited by former coach Pat Kennedy, but fell to 13-17 and 12-17 the past two seasons and are in danger of losing 20 games for the first time in 49 years.
Jim Giroux FSU fan and season ticket holder
"The big thing his kids need is some success," Bowden said. "When you are not getting some success it's tough to get them to believe."
Robinson's 50-65 coaching record at Florida State includes a 21-43 record against ACC opponents.
Meanwhile, Bowden's football teams have contended for the national championship for 14 straight years, winning nine straight league titles. Florida State's baseball teams are perenni-
ticket holder.
"We have to be a basketball team also. We're in the best basketball league in the country."
At times this season the Seminoles were almost a sideshow as Robinson sought desperately to find the right
combination.
but the progress of first-year players Michael Joiner, Mike Mathews, Andrew Wilson and Monte Cummings combined with point guard Delvon Arrington has produced a pair of ACC wins in the last four games.
"They give us some good things to build on," Robinson said. Next year, he will have J.D. Bracy, sidelined this year for academic reasons, and two other top high school prospects who have committed. Robinson believes all contribute immediately.
Arrington can regain a fourth year of eligibility if he graduates this spring, giving the Seminoles their floor leader back. And Robinson hopes 6-9, 380-pound Nigel "Big Jelly" Dixon can drop a hundred pounds or so and improve his endurance and production.
Robinson, who has shed nearly 20 pounds during the wear-and-tear of the season, is confident Florida State's basketball fortunes are turning around.
"I look at the big picture," he said. "I know where I'm going and I feel like I have a handle on how to get there."

Kansan staff writer
Hugo Vera lost both his job and place of residence and — a week later — has still received no official explanation why.
Vera was the resident director of Naismith Hall, 1800 Naismith Dr., the
private residence hall owned by College Park Communities.
Last Monday,
Jason Olds,
Naismith Hall
property manager,
called Vera in his
office and told him
he had been fired.
"He sat me down and told me I was terminated," Vera said. "I asked him why and he said we could discuss it at a later date."
PRESIDENT
Vera: does not know why Naismith火骗 him last week
Vera thought he might know what brought about his termination.
He said two of his residents that had suffered disciplinary action retaliated by saying that he had been purchasing drugs from Naismith Hall residents.
Vera said he knew there was alcohol and drugs circulating in the building, but he never had any in his possession.
"My livelihood was in Naismith," Vera said. "Why would I put myself in the position to lose all that?"
Alex Mestdagh, Lenexa freshman and Naismith Hall resident, said he had heard Vera had been fired because he knew about drugs in the building and did not take any action.
Perplexed and dumbfounded, Vera, a graduate assistant in the music and dance department, did not press the question with Olds. He contacted University of Kansas Legal Services and was told that under Kansas law, an employer was allowed to fire personnel without stating the reason.
"He told me it was something he and the corporate office had decided to do."
Vera said the next day he made one more effort to find out from Olds the reason for his termination.
Vera said what confused him the most was that he and Olds had always shared a good professional relationship.
Vera said that Olds had been talking about raising his wages in the fall of 2001 four days before his termination.
"He praised me on how good a job I was doing." Very said.
He said he was confused by Olds's sudden change of attitude.
How can I press the
terminate me the next?" Vera said.
Oids confirmed his termination but refused to comment.
"The working relationship with the employee was dissolved on Monday." Olds said. "I cannot comment on personnel's issues."
Daniel Haughney, Chicago freshman and Naismith Hall resident, smoke warmly of Vera.
"Everything he did was in the best interest of Naismith Hall." he said.
Other residents share Haughney's view of Vera.
Lindsey Hyatt, St. Louis freshman, said Vera was one of her favorite people in Naismith Hall.
"Not only was he helpful, he acted as a friend," she said. "I never saw him as an authority figure."
Mitch Loper, Houston freshman, offered a different perspective.
"A few of the residents don't particularly like him at all," he said. "I don't know why."
Vera has already moved out of Naismith Hall and found a new job at the music library, but the fact that he has not been given a reason or an explanation prevents him from putting his termination behind him.
"Now it's all about my character, about him questioning my character," he said. "It makes me feel guilty, like I've done something when I know I didn't."

Meth: Kansas' formidable foe
By Phil Cauthon writer@kansan.com Kansan senior staff writer
Andrew Nelson had been on a methamphetamine binge for several days. No sleep. Barely any food. Just more and more of his homemade drug.
Now he was driving home for his lunch break on a sunny October day. Voices plagued his brain. Bugs twitched under his skin.
Andrew pulled into his grandfather's Norton County farmstead, where he walked in on a raging orgy.
Men and women he'd never seen in his tiny community were fornicating in the yard, in the hall, in the kitchen — everywhere, screaming for him to join in.
He found his dad, as usual, on the recliner with a beer, seemingly oblivious to the chaos. Andrew flew at his dad with fury. "What are those whoores doing in our house? They best be gone before I get home from work, or I'm
tellin' Grandpa!"
Andrew hurried back to his job at the local co-op and told his boss that he couldn't work the rest of the day because there was an orgy at his house
But this was the last one his boss would tolerate. He fired Andrew and told Norton County Sheriff Troy Thomson about the hallucinations.
Everybody but Andrew knew what was really going on. The orgy was another meth-induced hallucination.
Losing his job only accelerated Andrew's years-old addiction to math. By the end of 1999, he was snorting larger and larger doses and cooking up bigger batches of meth right there in his bedroom.
All he needed to make meth was some anhydrous ammonia fertilizer from his dad's farm and a few supplies from
Dollar General, such as starting fluio and cold pills.
Thomson knew Andrew was making meth, but he didn't have a lead — until he found Andrew and his dad at Dollar General, each buying three packs of cold pills, the maximum you can buy before being red-flagged as a possible meth manufacturer.
Andrew eventually admitted manufacturing methamphetamine and was sentenced to 79 months in prison. His dad got 36 months for distribution.
a record 702 methamphetamine labs
— some like Andrew's and many much larger — were busted in Kansas in 2000, up from four busts in 1994. Kansas Bureau of Investigation officials say with more and better-trained cops they would uncover hundreds more meth labs.
And that's just domestic meth production. Federal law enforcement agents say the majority of methamphetamine in the United States originates from Mexican drug cartels. The KBI estimates just 10 percent of the meth in Kansas is cooked in mom-and-pop labs like Andrew's.

Yumi Tanikawa cut loose at an old-fashioned barn dance at the Kansas Union Friday.
ine business student kicked up her heels during a mixer for the group from Kanagawa University. The 11 Hiratsuka, Japan, students celebrated the halfway mark of their month-long stay in the United States, in which they are learning English and American culture.
As part of their visit, the students could sign up for a host family, then meet their new American families at the barn dance and stay the weekend with them.
"It's fun but confusing," Tanikawa said of the dancing. "It makes me tired."
She spent the evening laughing and talking with friends, some new and some old, as well as meeting her host parents, Dick and Mary Alice Beach. The new family managed a dance or two while muddling through the initial do-si-do.
"When I first came to the United States, I was very worried." Tanikawa said. "Now, I wish I could stay longer."
The barn dance brought together various cultures as a number of international students attended. While the primary purpose was to connect the visiting Japanese students with their host families, it became an opportunity for everyone who attended to get acquainted with each other.
"I'm excited to stay in an American home. I would like to eat a homemade dinner."
Sumiaki Matsuno
Kanagawa University student
They all met in an environment of old American culture, said Christa Hansen, acting assistant director with special programs at the Applied English Center.
One of the international students, Katie Ebisu, an Ehime, Japan, junior, merged the Japanese and American cultures. While attending the University of Kansas to earn an economics degree, she said this was a chance to meet students from her homeland along with those from all over the world.
"I heard that many international students were coming," Ebisu said. "It's so interesting that so many cultures are here. I think it's important to see people from other cultures and visit with Americans."
The dance is just one part of the experience for the Kanagawa students. They spend their mornings learning English and practicing their conversational skills. In the afternoon, they learn about American society through videos, reading and visiting the community.
They attend Japanese classes in the Lawrence high schools while sitting in on classes at the University.
They interact with American students to learn from them, Hansen said. The group also visits museums on campus to further its understanding of America.
"Their time is jam-packed with activities," Hansen said. Miaki Matsuno took a few minutes to meet his American host family at the barn dance. The Kanagawa student sat in a corner and talked to Tim and Judy Keller and their three young daughters.
They all laughed at the antics of 3-year-old Sadie Keller, who rubbed her stomach and complained of a tummy ache.
After meeting his new family, Matsumoto said he couldn't wait for the weekend to begin.
"I'm excited to stay in an American home," Matsuno said. "I would like to eat a homemade dinner."

Marshall, recruiter discuss minority retention
By Danny Phillips
Kansan staff writer
writer@ansan.com
Armed with pages of retention statistics, Student Senate vice president Marlon Marshall showed that while the number of incoming National Merit Scholars had doubled in the past five years, the number of incoming minority students had remained relatively stagnant.
Marshall, St. Louis senior, addressed this at a meeting he led Friday to discuss minority recruitment and retention — which he doesn't think is being made a priority by KU Administration and the Office of Admissions.
In hopes of correcting that disparity, Marshall welcomed the input of the students he handpicked for the meeting, including Claudia Mercado, Springfield, Mo., graduate student and the sole minority recruiter from the admissions office.
"Obviously something is lacking." he said.
The admissions office outlines 12 separate objectives to recruit minorities, and Mercado said that every one of them had been met.
Marshall then asked if the admissions
office had established any specific goals beyond the current objectives, and Mercado said no.
Mike Stewart, Eagletown, Okla., graduate student, used to participate in Oklahoma's retention program and was asked by Marshall to attend the meeting to explain the university's methods. Stewart said the admissions office worked with student services to both recruit and retain minorities. And unlike KU's admissions office, there's a recruiter for each of the four principal minority groups.
Marshall said he was impressed by the University of Oklahoma's ability to recruit a high number of National Merit Scholars and maintain a high minority retention rate simultaneously.
Stewart said students who had attended the university on scholarship for at least a year would be assigned to a group of freshman minority students who they kept in contact with weekly to inform them of upcoming events and ask them how they were doing.
Mercado agreed it was vital to get more students involved in the recruitment process. She said that the admissions office had contacted student organizations and asked them for assistance.
"It's going to take some time," she said. Mercado called the process a cycle of attracting minority students to KU, getting them to stay and then incorporating them into the admission's recruitment methods in order to draw in more minorities.
"We need that diversity in order to recruit." she said.
Holdover senator Justin Mills, Lansing senior, said the first step at correcting the problem was making students on campus care why diversity is necessary. He said it would be a slow change because there are still factions of the student body that aren't friendly toward minorities. He referred to recent comments in The University Daily Kansan's Free For All as an example.
Marshall plans to eventually draft a report outlining the University's recruitment and retention rates compared to other schools in the Big 12, present it to the Student Senate and then take those figures to the administration. He said he hoped the administration would view those statistics and be motivated to form a task force to search for solutions.

Diplomats, professors discuss foreign policy
Visitors from around the world discussed foreign policy with KU faculty members Friday.
The group, comprised of diplomats from Mozambique, Nigeria, Oman, Pakistan and Panama and a journalist from Turkey, spent Friday morning at the University discussing foreign policy with professors from the School of Business, the political science department and other faculty members who focus their attention on the visitors' areas of the world.
The trip was sponsored by the U.S. State Department, and the foreign representatives came to the University after visiting the greater Kansas City area Friday.
The visitors had been in the country for about two weeks, visiting Washington D.C., New York and Chicago. They headed to Seattle after leaving the University.
Philip Schrodt, a professor of political science who met with the group, said the visitors were particularly concerned with the beginning of George W. Bush's administration and the possibility of increased isolationism.
"They asked really good questions on the ambiguities in the U.S. foreign policy." Schrodt said.

Fire leaves nine students without place to live
Nine KU students were forced to relocate after fire damaged three town homes in the Quail Creek complex, 2111 Kasold Drive.
According to Battalion Chief Lexie Engleman, the fire department was dispatched for a 6:38 a.m. alarm in apartment 2115. The fire spread to apartments 2117 and 2113, both sustaining heavy fire damage.
Engleman said nearby apartment 2119 sustained minimal smoke damage.
No one was injured in the fire. Stephanie Jackson, volunteer coordinator for the Lawrence Red Cross, said that all of the displaced residents had been offered space in other buildings in the apartment complex. Some decided to stay in hotels, however.
The Red Cross also took care of all of the students' other immediate needs. Jackson said.
The cause of the fire is under investigation, Engleman said. A full incident report will be available today.

Relief program costs customers millions
OVERLAND PARK — A hedging program meant to save Kansas Gas Service customers at least $15 million this winter wound up causing heating bills to be slightly higher.
Utility executives said Friday that after numbers for the entire winter are tabulated, the hedging program is expected to cost customers more than it saved them. They said problems with the way the program was financed overwhelmed savings.
As gas prices began to soar late last year, Kansas Gas Service predicted that the hedge would benefit customers by at least $15 million, after paying the program's $6 million cost.

Bush describes attack as 'routine mission'
WASHINGTON—The joint U.S.- British air strike against Iraq, described by President Bush as routine, was the biggest blow against Saddam Hussein's military in more than two years and involved two dozen attack planes armed with precision-guided missiles, Pentagon officials say.
"A routine mission was conducted to enforce the 'no-fly' zone" over southern Iraq, Bush said Friday. "It was a mission about which I was informed and I authorized. But I repeat, it's a routine mission."
It was the first military action ordered by the new president, who inherited an Iraq policy that has evolved from the 1991 Persian Gulf War that his father carried out to evict the Iraqi army from Kuwait. A key part of that policy is enforcement of no-fly zones over northern and southern Iraq
— a mission that has taxed the U.S. military while also taking a heavy toll on Iraq's extensive air defenses.
Iraq does not accept the legitimacy of the no-fly zones. The official Iraq News Agency said two people died and 20 were injured in Friday's attack.

Candidate meetings lack students
A lack of communication and time is probably the reason student attendance at open meetings with dean candidates for the school of education is low.
By Andrew Davies writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Susan Twombly, chairwoman of the search committee and professor of teaching and leadership, said she was satisfied with the search process, but was disappointed with the lack of student attendance at the open meetings with the candidates.
Twomby partly blamed the communication process for the lack of attendance. She said most students learn about the meetings through a listserv or from teachers announcing the meetings in class, but there were no places to post signs for the meetings.
The school of education announced the fourth and fifth dean candidates on Thursday.
Larry H. Ebbers, a professor of higher education at Iowa State University, and Eileen I. Oliver, a professor and associate dean of education at California State University-San Marco were announced as the candidates.
Dianne E. Ashby, director of the center for the study of educational policy at Illinois State University, Jerry D. Bailey, interim dean of the school of education, and Angela Lumpkin, a professor of physical education at the State University of West Georgia, are the other candidates.
A sixth candidate is yet to be announced before Ebbers' visit to campus, Tuesday March 6 to Thursday March 8. Ebbers' will
interview Tuesday, Feb. 27 to Thursday, March 1. Oliver will be on campus Sunday, Feb. 25 to Tuesday, Feb. 27.
Emily Ligget, Prairie Village senior, said students sometimes had a tough time making the meetings because of scheduling difficulties.
"I think that part of the problem is that the candidates are on such a strict schedule which makes them only available to students for about 30 minutes a day," she said.
Ligget said she attended Bailey's meeting, but did not go to any others because of a conflict with classes.
Although Ligget did not think not having a bulletin board to post announcements was a big deal, she said familiarity with the candidates might improve attendance.
"I would have been more likely to go if I was familiar with the candidates, like I was with Dr. Bailey, or if we would've had a little more background on the candidates," she said.
Mona Ahmed, Lawrence senior, said a lot of students did not have time or think their input mattered.
"I say a lot of it is time," she said. "I think another part of it is that people don't think it matters, that our voices don't count."
Ahmed said some people did not care about the meetings because they are trying to concentrate on their studies.
ON THE RECORD
She agreed with Twombly that a bulletin board could help attract attention.
"I think that would make a difference," Ahmed said. "I know there's quite a few people who don't check their e-mail."
A KU faculty member's Kansas University Endowment Association parking permit was stolen from his car between 6:45 and 7:15 p.m. Tuesday. The KU Public Safety Office said the car was parked in the Fraser Hall parking lot and was unlocked at the time of the incident. The permit was valued at $125.

An 18-year-old KU student was arrested Thursday night for operating a vehicle under the

He stopped the car, and the student failed sobriety tests. The officer reported the student having blood-shot eyes and smelling like marijuana.

Enrollment up slightly this spring
By Cassio Furtado
writer@kanson.com
Kanson staff writer
Spring enrollment at the University of Kansas has increased more than 4 percent during the last five years, according to a report released Friday.
The University had 24,502 students enrolled at the Lawrence and Edwards campuses as of the 20th day of classes this semester, the report said—a 1.2 percent increase from last spring, when 24,209 were enrolled.
The 203-student increase from last spring was expected, said Lindy Eakin, associate provost.
Eakin said the numbers had been steadily increasing at a rate of 1 to 1.5 percent for each of the last four years.
"It is a modest growth, but continuous," Kakin said.
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions, said modest growth helped maintain the quality of incoming students as class sizes increased.
"Our students are getting better and better." Cerveny said.
The University enrolled 16,432 Kansas residents and 8,070 non-residents this semester. Last spring, 16,403 students from Kansas and 7,806 out-of-state students enrolled.
The University of Kansas Medical Center enrolled 2,355 students this semester. 0.8 percent up from last spring, when it enrolled 2,363 students.
29 residents and 264 nonresidents from last year's totals.
The numbers reflect an increase of
Todd Cohen, assistant director of University Relations, said the enrollment numbers were a sign of confidence in the University.
Student retention numbers were not included in the report, Eakin said. He said retention rates were measured just once a year, In the fall enrollment report.

Phone harassers irk students; police advise tracking offenders
By Amanda Beglin
"The first thing is letting us know by filing a report," Mailen said. "We can set up a phone trap and track incoming calls with their help."
"I'd pick up the phone, say hello, and they'd just hang up." Hawthorne said. "Sometimes they'd call back immediately or they'd wait a minute or two."
The KU Office of Public Safety received three reports of harassing phone calls last week, prompting officers to advise students to help catch culprits.
Hawthorne, a Kansan columnist, said she received six hang-ups per day last Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
A phone trap requires cooperation between phone harassment victims and Networking and Telecommunications Services, located behind Eldsworth Hall. Residents must keep a written log of harrassing calls and NTS tracks incoming phone calls by computer. By comparing the student and computer logs, a suspect can be tracked down.
The nuisance of harassing phone calls was enough for Erica Hawthorne, Lenexa senior and Templin Hall resident, to file a report with the Office of Public Safety.
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
If phone harassment becomes a nuisance or if a student thinks his or her safety is endangered, the Public Safety Office can help. Sgt. Troy Mailen said.
NTS used a phone trap in October 1999 to catch Robert Francis, a
Middletown, N.Y., resident who made harassing phone calls to students at KU and several other universities. Francis made death threats, encouraged students to engage in sexual acts with him by phone and implied that he could see the students he was talking to. Mailen said.
Fourteen police reports were filed among residents in Ellsworth, Templin and McCollum halls during the months of the incidents, the Public Safety Office said.
"We only have to use phone traps one or two times per year," he said.
Mailen said some groups of people were regular targets.
NTS director John Louis said there were fewer incidents of phone harassment on the KU campus than at other universities.
"GSP-Corbin Hall gets a lot of pranks because they're an all-girls dorm," Mailen said. "People living in residence halls get called a lot because they have sequential phone numbers
Mailen and Louis agreed that the installation of caller ID in residence halls next fall would reduce phone harassment.
"If he continues, start a log," he said. "Keep track of anything he says in the conversation."
Wide open spaces
"It will give the residents the ability to see at a moment's glance if they should answer the phone or not," Malen said.
We can get up to 13 or 14 police reports out of that kind of incident."
Mailen said harrassment victims should end the conversation quickly, hang up and call police.

Senate projects seek to improve students'lives
for comments, contact Chris Borniger or Nathan Willis at 864-4924 or opinion@kansan.com
Now that you are settled back into your normal routine of classes, work and fun, probably the last thing on your mind is Student Senate. We hope we can convince you that we are busily working on projects that directly impact you.
For the first four weeks of the semester, we brought you a program that gave students free access to copies of the New York Times, USA Today, Lawrence Journal-World and The Kansas City Star at Wescoe Hall, the Kansas Union and Oliver Hall. If you were near any of these buildings, you probably saw these papers.
These four weeks were a pilot project to introduce a possibly permanent Newspaper Readership Program next fall. The program would feature many more distribution locations. This project is a result of the work of
You may also have heard about the $428,000 surplus in Senate's reserve account and our endeavors to spend that money (because it's yours) on projects that benefit you. We have been soliciting your ideas since last semester and now are poised to make some decisions on how to spend these funds.
Some of the possibilities include information kiosks for student use; converting the Stauffer-Flint bus shelter into an information stand and/or a snack counter; the construction of a youth hostel, service learning center or off-campus resource center; and more pencil sharpeners and clocks on campus. If you want to comment on any of these ideas or offer any of your own, please e-mail Ben at brw@ukans.edu.
Another project we are
working on its minority student recruitment and retention. In 1966, Chancellor Robert Hemenway made that project a priority of his administration. A group of student senators, executive staff members and members of other student organizations are researching and preparing a minority recruitment and retention plan.

Senators also have been vigilant in protecting student interests at the City Commission. With a proposed ordinance to reduce the number of nonrelated individuals that can reside in a single-family residence from four to three, the city threatens to impact thousands of students and where they can live.
Lobbying by students and other Lawrence organizations succeeded in convincing the commission that the original proposal to limit the number of unrelated people to two was not prudent. Although we are disappointed the commission has chosen to disrupt the status quo, this middle-ground compromise is much better than the original proposal.
We are also continuing in our usual role as your advocates at the state level. Dangerous budget cuts threaten the University, but rest assured that we will be hard at work protecting your interests in Topeka.
Specifically, students have lobbed against a proposed elimination of the $2 the state gives for every $1 students pay for technology. Students have paid $1 per credit hour for the last three years, generating $600,000 a year. That means the state has contributed about $1.2 million annually. We also will fight the governor's recommendation to cut the University's general budget by more than $1 million.
These are just a few of the many projects that we're working on, including breaking ground on the upcoming recreation center and major renovations and additions to the Kansas Union
We encourage you to make your voice heard. Any student can join a Student Senate committee at any time. If you are interested, please contact the Student Senate office at 864-3710, or visit our Web site at
http://www.ukans.edu/~senate. If you do not have the time to get involved, you can contact us with your ideas, concerns or questions.
We hope that you are happy with the progress we have made throughout the year, and we will continue to work for you every day.

Campus museums allow quiet break from classes
If you're like me, you probably go to class and don't take the time to stop and enjoy the many interesting parts of our campus.
For example, until a few days ago, I had never been to Spencer Museum of Art — the lovely white marble building directly behind the Kansas Union — even though I
had walked past it almost daily for three years.
If you actually go inside and check it out, you can see some pretty cool stuff. If you're not super-interested in old paintings — which I'm not — there are still exhibits there you might enjoy. My favorites are the giant disco-esque neon clamshell sculptures and the new exhibit featuring artists from Cuba.
PETER HARRIS
Granted, for those of us who don't know much about art, some of the exhibits can be confusing. Take, for example, one painting depicting a fluorescent man throwing up on his shoes. I tried but couldn't figure out exactly what the artist was trying to say with that piece. Finally, I came to the conclusion that the painting must be trying to make some sort of statement about what happens when you drink too much jungle juice.
Speaking of jungle juice, the museum security guards told me that it ruins their weekends when kids come in and stumble through or pass out in the exhibits. If you are too drunk or hung over to walk, you

While at the museum, I desperately wanted to touch the giant disco clams but stopped myself. After an unfortunate incident at the Sedgwick County Zoo in Wichita involving me, a buffalo and three armed rent-a-cops, I developed a healthy fear of all security personnel.
shouldn't be in a museum in the first place. But if you happen to drink so much cough syrup that Rembrandts start looking like Picassos, I found that security doesn't care.
Unlike the guards at the zoo, however, I've found the museum staff to be pleasant and very helpful, especially when it comes to explaining the meaning of the exhibits. Except the ones that involve vomit.
My favorite is the Natural History Museum. The main reason I love the Natural History Museum is slightly less disturbing.
During the spring and summer, you can look through a glass tube on the sixth floor and see a real bees' nest. Unlike little kids there on field trips, the bees don't cry when you stare at them and are usually hard at work. In fact, once you see how hard the bees work, you will probably stop wasting those little packets of honey from Mrs. E's.
If art doesn't interest you, there are a variety of other museums on campus that often go unvisited by students.
If you have never stopped by any of these museums, I suggest you swing in between classes and check out some of the exhibits. Looking at cool paintings or bees' nests is certainly more fun than lying drunken on the floor in Budig Hall.
And probably a lot more comfortable, too.

Department must correct bug problem
The cockroach invasion in Jayhawker Towers should jolt Student Housing into action.
Certain standards of living, including proper pest control and fumigation, should be expected when a person signs a contract with a landlord. It is irrelevant who the landlord is—these standards should be met.
Students living in Jayhawker Tower have reported problems with cockroaches since October. Cockroaches are a sign of unclean living conditions, and students shouldn't have to live in this filth.
Only recently has anything been done to alleviate the problem in the Towers. But even more troublesome is the Department of Student Housing's policy that not all students receive extermination services — only those who request it when a problem arises.
In addition, the department's lack of action is in direct contrast to its mission statement. The department's handbook states that one part of its mission is to provide "reasonably priced living environments that are clean, attractive, well maintained and that meet current standards of care and comfort."
Allowing a cockroach infestation to continue for so long surely would violate those standards.
The handbook says that students should report pests immediately. In addition, they are urged to keep their apartment clean so the environment would be unappealing to pests.
Students should do all of this, as there is some responsibility on their part. Students who leave out food or allow pets to take over their kitchen without reporting it do shoulder some of the blame for an infestation.
But the department has a greater responsibility to maintain a suitable living environment for its residents. It promises an environment that is free of pests. Students are expected to abide by their housing contracts. Both parties need to hold up their ends of the bargain.
Students should not be solely responsible for preventing pests. Housing should fumigate regularly to ensure that the problem does not spread. This should be a part of the clean and comfortable living environment the department promises to students in the first place.

Students showcase research
By Andrew Davies
writer@kansan.com
Kansas state writer
Rebekah Moses entered the Kansas Union wearing a halter top, and a skirt, jeans and a cowboy boot on her right leg, and loose pants and a tennis shoe on her left leg. She completed the ensemble by hanging tortilla shells on her outfit.
HEY AN EXIT
E SPANO
But Moses, Great Bend junior, didn't wear the outfit to be funny. She said she wore the outfit to illustrate the silliness of stereotypes about Mexican Americans.
Moses was one of more than 60 students to take part in the Undergraduate Research Symposium Saturday at the Kansas Union.
Barbara Schowen, Honors Program director, said the symposium gave students a chance to showcase research projects they had completed.

"I thought it was marvelous," she said. "It all went off beautifully."
The symposium featured a wide variety of research projects, ranging from an examination of the music and culture in Taipei, Taiwan, to the differences in the tail autonomy of salamanders.
Moses said she wanted to deconstruct familiar stereotypes of Mexican Americans. She chose to include images of a gangster, a cowboy, indigenous people and a sexy Latin woman. She said that she wore the tortilla shells because she wanted people to realize how funny stereotypes were.
Moses, who said she aspired to have a career in immigration law, said the motivation to do her research project stemmed from her interest in both politics and art.
"I wanted to be able to combine my political agenda and my political passion with my artistic passion," she said.
Moses, who plans to create a performance from her research, worked on the project last summer in Great Bend. She taped interviews, took photographs and kept a journal of trends in the Latino community.
Moses started putting the show together when she came back to school last fall. She spliced tapes and developed pictures from Great Bend and said she hoped to perform her show for the first time in April.
Moses said she eventually wanted to perform the program in elementary schools.
Mark Bradshaw, Walnut senior, studied the history of the Baker Wetlands near Haskell Indian Nations University. He said the project grew out of an interest in the area.
"When I started to find out some o' the history — that the land had been owned by different parties at different times throughout the last several decades — I wanted to know how that had happened," he said. "It just so happened I had a paper I needed to write for a class, and it all kind of took off from there."
Bradshaw said he worked on the project for the last year and-a-half. He
said he did most of his research by reading newspapers, journals, and original documents from University Archives, Spencer Research Library and local politicians.
Undergraduate research awards financed much of the research, including Moses and Bradshaw's projects. Moses received a $1,000 award and Bradshaw received a $1,300 award.
Schowen said the Honors Program granted 25 undergraduate research awards. The grants were provided funds by the provost's office, the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Center for Research. Inc.
Seven other students used research money from agencies including the National Science Foundation, the American Heart Association, and NASA to conduct research.
Schowen said the symposium's purpose was to let people see that in-depth research was not limited to graduate students.
"I think KU is really trying to point out the importance of undergrads doing research," she said.

LENORA MERC ASSN
LENORA
CHALLIMITE
Fewer than 3,000 people live in Norton County, but there is still demand for methamphetamine. Even in such tiny towns as Lenora, police have found mom-and-pop labs used to make the drug. Norton County Sheriff Troy Tromson estimates that a dozen labs continue to churn out the highly addictive stimulant. Photo by Phil Cauthon/KANSAN
Meth use up and hitting the home front
CINEMAS
Continued from page 1A
The current level of in-state meth production is already more than local law enforcement can handle.
"With four people including myself for the whole county, we just don't have the manpower to track down labs," Thomson said. "There's a serious meth problem in Norton county. I see methamphetamine users every single day. Every single day. I mean, we see more meth than marijuana, and that's strange. But to make a dent in what's out there, you have got to have a guy dedicated to methamphetamine. Still, if we hired somebody today, we're going to generate more work, and we'd need more people for that. There's only so much taxpayers will earn."
The truck used to haul away Andrew Nelson's belongings is all that remains of his home in Lenora. Nelson's trailer was condemned after he was busted by the Norton County sheriff for manufacturing the drug methamphetamine there. Although making meth requires toxic chemicals that spew noxious ammonia fumes, Nelson's neighbors had no idea their block was home to such a biohazard.

"It's going to get a lot worse before it gets better. The KBI is the only thing that keeps us above water."
But even the KBI is swamped.
F. C. MALYON
Although the number of annual buests leveled out somewhat last year — up just 37 percent from 1999 compared to the 270 percent jump the previous year — KBI narcotics chief Kirk Thompson said
Thompson: says lack of resources has made it hard to control moll labs
the drop did not indicate a slowdown in Kansas meth production.
"Quite frankly, we're at a saturation point," Thompson said. "There's a lot more meth labs out there, but there's not much more we can do with the resources we have."
Besides being a controlled substance, the makeshift labs used to cook meth are literally toxic waste sites that emit volatile fumes and leak caustic chemicals. The lethal byproducts are often strewn about the lab, turning each bust — like the one in tiny Norton — into a biohazard containment operation.
An insidious enemy
Everything about methamphetamine makes it a formidable foe.
Cleaning up labs is time-consuming and expensive; at least $1,300 each and usually $3,500 or more. And it's dangerous work — according to a recent FBI bulletin, entering a meth lab is "no less dangerous than pursuing an armed suspect."
Perhaps the most frustrating facet of meth — and the reason labs are booming in
Kansas — is how easy it is to make and how hard labs are to find. With a handful of household items, a recipe off the Internet and a few square feet of privacy, a cook could turn a 1,000 percent profit in just a couple of hours.
Then there's the social cost. As anyone who's tried it will attest, meth is evil. But the stimulant — which leaves users delusional, hyper-paranoid and aggressive — is powerfully addictive. Rehab success rates are lower than most drugs: less than 30 percent for those in treatment come clean.
And often, those who don't as well. Experts say meth use often leads to domestic violence and other brutal crimes. Meth heads — or so-called "tweakers" when they're coming off the drug's euphoria — will resort to diabolic deeds to get their next fix.
Quite simply, methamphetamine devours those who use it.
Horror stories abound from law enforcers. Manson-like murders of family members for money. Mummeling of fellow addicts from paranoid delusions. Toddlers, or "meth orphans," found forgotten or with chemical burns from playing on ether-
soaked carpets. Desperate addicts subjecting themselves to brutality or repeated rape. And so long as law enforcement remains
And so long as law enforcement rema-

swap places with investigating crimes like these — related to meth or otherwise — is relegated to something of a second priority.
In other words, the KBI and the Kansas community face a daunting challenge.
An unbalanced battle

That challenge is compounded in Kansas by the scarce resources available to track down

- which has 190 narcotics agents.
Thanks to a recent $2 million emergency federal grant, the KBI should be able to hire a few more narcotics agents. Still, without substantially more funding and commitment from the state government, Kansas won't beat meth, said Jeff Brandau, KBI narcotics undercover agent.
"If we had more people, we'd find more labs. It's that simple. They're out there. The 700-some labs are not all that's in Kansas by any stretch of the imagination," Brandau said, estimating that the 702 labs busted last year represent only half of the problem.
"The Mexican meth problem is huge here, too," he said. "We need to be more focused on it without a doubt. If we had more people we would. But we're limited. Still, the labs here — we have got to be real concerned about them because these are Kansas kids, these are Kansas families, these are Kansas environmental problems."

Men's hoops not on target; fans grumbling
Kansas' and Iowa State's big basketball weekend didn't go as planned. Many thought Iowa State would sweep the men's and women's games, but the schools split — the victorious Kansas team was even more unexpected.
The Kansas women's 69-16 upset against No. 6 Iowa State was a huge win for a team playing far below its traditional expectations. But the women's team somehow has the Cyclones' number, winning three of their last four meetings.
A stronger stranglehold has unfolded on the men's side, as Iowa State won its fifth straight against Kansas. But this one has a stronger impact. Kansas hadn't lost five straight games to another program since Oklahoma State did it from 1982-84.
Kansas was introduced to the new king of the mountain in the Big 12 Conference. Iowa State's reign might be short-lived—the Cyclones will lose five seniors after making, what he theck, the Final Four this year. Still, it's clear that legendary Kansas basketball has to deal with no longer assuming it is supreme in the Midwest just because it's Kansas.
Although the Jayhawk women haven't claimed as many conference titles, three in the 1990s isn't shabby. The women's team is also in jeopardy of recording its first losing season since 1988-89.
Linnbarger is a Washington, Kau., senior in Journalism.
The Iowa State women, meanwhile, had just one 20-win season in school history until current coach Jim Fennelly arrived in 1995. Fennelly has added four 20-win seasons to the record books, including this year at 20-4.
But back to the main event, whether it's Iowa State or Texas, the men's team hasn't won the conference crown in three years. Once again, grumbling has become commonplace, as fans complain about players, players complain about the media, and the media continues to write about what's in front of its face.
The Jayhawks are in an obvious slump. And a 2-4 record in the last six games is an extremely large slump by Kansas standards. The problem is simple — the 'Hawks haven't come out swinging when the bell rings, and as the game progresses, valiant comebacks fall short. It's not completely cut and dry, as the 'Hawks appeared to switch fortunes after trailing by only one at halftime Saturday. In the first meeting between the teams two weeks ago, whatever the Cyclones threw at the basket went in. But great teams frustrate people like that.
Right now, the dayhawks aren't a great team. When Drew Gooden is out of the lineup, that tends to happen.
in the 1996-97 season, Jacque Vaughn missed 10 games, and Scott Pollard missed substantial time with his own injury. This year's team hasn't been able to adapt like its predecessor.
This is not a blatant attack on this year's team; once again, it's a fact. Another truth is also evident — the season isn't a lost cause.
Kenny Gregory and Nick Collison are still on the team and Gooden should be back soon. Jeff Boschee has found his touch on offense and complements Hinrich in the backcourt. The two shut down Jamaal Tinsley and Kantrail Horton, but freshmen Jake Sullivan and Shane Power came through for Iowa State.
Eric Chenowith continued his evaluation of lesser talent, saying about Sullivan and Power: "To be honest with you, they really don't have any business playing Division i basketball, and they're out there doing unbelievable things, hitting huge shots and playing tough defense."
Tough times in Lawrence, indeed.
Maybe that's the problem at Kansas.
Talented players aren't showing the heart necessary to win. Some critics say the Jayhawks never looked enthused. Collison doesn't bounce off the walls in Allen Fieldhouse with uncontrolled enthusiasm. It shouldn't be assumed that he doesn't have heart, but maybe there's a small spark missing that Kansas needs to mold talent and heart into a contender again.
So before the grumbling turns into yelling and complaints of "remember when we used to dominate everybody?", remember that Kansas is flirting with its 12th straight 20-win season.
Women's basketball
Jayhawks upset No.6 Cyclones
By Jessie Meyer sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
Jennifer Jackson was out for vengeance Saturday when the Kansas women's basketball team matched up with No. 6 Iowa State in Allen Fieldhouse.
And the senior guard got it with the Jayhawks' biggest upset of the season. Jackson, wearing a secret good luck charm under her uniform, led the Jayhawks (10-14 overall and 4-9 in the Big 12 Conference) to a 69-61 victory against a team that many had earlier predicted to go undefeated in the Big 12.
Jackson's personal vendetta with Iowa State (204 and 10-3) began her sophomore year when the Cyclones defeated the 'Hawks at Allen Fieldhouse in what would have been Kansas coach Marian Washington's 500th win.
"Ever since then, I've taken it as a personal challenge," said Jackson, who led the team with 17 points.
But it wasn't just Jackson. Her intensity and drive spread to the rest of the team — igniting a three-point assault from junior KC Hilgenkamp and a late scoring surge from senior Brooke Reves.
"We just got it from everybody today, and I think that was the difference." Jackson said.
Kansas held a 35-29 lead at the

And with time running down, Hilgenkamp came up big, sealing the game for Kansas.
The Jayhawks held a two-point lead with 1:11 to play when Hilgenkamp made a three-point shot from in front of the Jayhawks' bench.
And when the ball dropped through, Hilgenkamp said she knew the Jayhawks would win.
Hilgenkamp, who ended with 12 points, shot four of six from behind the arc.

"I thought we were very focused, and I thought that we definitely had the polise we needed down the stretch," Washington said.

Much of that composure came from Reves, who returned to the game in the second half after sitting out much of the first with two fouls.
The senior forward shot nine of 10 from the free-throw line in the second half, adding 11 of her 15 points in the final five minutes of the game.

AMES, Iowa - Different game, same result. No. 6 Kansas' downward spiral continued Saturday with an 85-77 loss to No. 7 Iowa State, as the Jayhawks (19-5, 8-4) fell to 24 since Jan. 29.
The most recent demise had the same pattern as the previous losses - the Jayhawks fell behind early and spent the rest of the game playing catch-up.
Kansas darted to an early 5-2 lead. But a 22-10 Cyclone run, fueled by four three-pointers by freshman guard Jake Sullivan and one by freshman forward Shane Power, gave Iowa State a nine-point lead midway through the first half.
Kansas picked its way back into the game, trailing by one, 37-36, at the half.
"I thought they fought very hard," coach Roy Williams said. "If we had played that hard at other times this year, I think it would've really helped us in some of the games we didn't play as well."
Six turnovers in the first seven possessions of the half and two Sullivan three-pointers pushed the lead to 49-38.
Junior guard Jeff Boschie scored 12 of his 19 points in the second half, including two three-pointers. Power countered, hitting three more troys.
Senior center Eric Chenowith said his
team was caught off-guard by Sullivan and Power's combined 10-for-12 effort from behind the arc.
"I thought Sullivan and Power surprised us," Chenowith said. "To be honest with you, they really don't have any business playing Division I basketball, and they're out there doing unbelievable things, hitting huge shots and playing tough defense."
Tinsley had a miserable 14-for-13 shooting day for the Cyclones (22-3, 10-2) but had 11 assists and six steals that caused havoc in the Kansas backcourt as Hinrich turned the ball over seven times.
The tough Iowa State defense forced 23 turnovers,compared with Kansas' 12.
Tinsley also got Bosche and Hinrich into foul trouble, giving junior guard Brett
Ballard playing time.
Ballard, who had three assists, said that although the team shot a smoking 57.7 percent, the Jayhawks' sloppiness and carelessness cost them an opportunity to win.
"We had a lot of turnovers and we didn't get a lot of shots on a lot of possessions and that kills you," Ballard said.
Luke Axell stayed in Lawrence to nurse the bulging disk in his back.
Drew Gooden sat out on Saturday's game but made the trip to Ames, Iowa. Gooden will have the cast removed from his sprained wrist today and might play Wednesday night against Colorado.

Tradition attracts football recruit to Kansas
By Jeff Denton

Kansan sportswriter
Banks Floodman always wanted to be a Javawk.
That was almost eight years ago. Last year, coming off a junior season in which he rushed for 1,300 yards and was second on his team in tackles, the impressionable young Jayhawk fanatic now had a fan base of his own. Floodman, a two-way standout for Wichita Collegiate, began to attract attention from many colleges. So when the opportunity to commit to Kansas came about last April, he never thought twice about going elsewhere.
Growing up in Wichita, the only colors he cheered for were the crimson and blue. The tradition of Kansas basketball fascinated him and the strong showings of the Kansas football team inspired him. He was a fan of all seasons.
Floodman was destined to come to Lawrence.
"Ive always wanted to go to Kansas and have always been a Jayhawk fan," said Floodman, a 6-foot-3, 208-pound pro
jected strong safety. "Whether or not I was going to go there as an athlete, that's the only school I ever wanted to go."
Fortunately for Kansas coach Terry Allen, Floodman will be a part of his football program next season. What impressed Allen most about this incoming recruit is his versatility and instincts. He also marveled at his hardhitting mentality and overall natural ability.
"You get excited about a guy like him," Allen said. "I think that Banks can play on either side of the ball. Height, weight, speed — he fits all the criteria there. But he is also a guy with that hitter's mentality. He has a great nose for the football. With that mental make-up, he has a chance to be special."
Mike Gehrer, who has coached Wichita Collegiate's high school football team for the past decade, said there is more to Floodman's package than just pure football skill.
"He was made for football." Gehrer said, "Banks is fearless. There was never a situation he was afraid to put his nose in. A lot of guys ht, but Banks runs
through them. When you watch him on film, that becomes very clear. His motor is always running."
"I lift weights every day for up to two hours," Floodman said. "I have been mostly doing shoulder and leg workouts. I have been concentrating on improving my leverage, speed and overall strength."
Gehrer also said that Floodman's approach to the weight room was similar to how he approached the football field. According to Gehrer, Floodman does not just lift weights, he attacks them. After leading his team to the Class 3A state title last November, Floodman has been religiously following a strict workout regiment.
Gehrer has seen many talented players go through his system at Wichita College. D'Angelo Evans was one of the most sought-after running backs in the nation coming out of high school in 1996 and later went to Nebraska. Harrison Hill starred at receiver for Gehrer before becoming a Jayhawk, and Jamie Rheem will most likely be an NFL selection this spring after kicking for

"I told Banks that college is not where he stops," Gehrer said. "If he keeps getting bigger and keeps his tenacity, he could be playing football for a very long time."
For now, Banks Floodman is ecstatic about wearing a football uniform for the Kansas Jayhawks. He said he will report to Lawrence in early July to begin fulfilling his childhood dream.

what you can do and when. Then scramble to do it
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 7 — A person who seemed like an adversary yesterday could turn into a good friend. You've had your disagreements in the past, and will again, but now you can compromise. This opens the way for something good to happen.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6 — You may be burning to tell news you've recently heard. If so, chill out. It's better if others don't know that you know — or what you know. Don't let your expression give you away, either.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6 — You and a special friend like to hang out together. You don't talk much, but that's OK. Just being together helps you work through your worries. Visit that person and let a puzzle you've been working on fall into place.

P
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6 — You like to do the research first, but you're getting pressed to take action. Something at your house needs fixing — and soon. Call to find the best deal on a replacement or ask a relative with more experience.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7 — Shop for a special gift for a loved one or a child. If it's hard to tell this person how much you care, this thoughtful gesture might help. And besides, it'll be fun.

Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 7 — Listen to your friends, the ones who are telling you not to worry. Although your worries seem to make sense, they may be based on false logic. Besides, it's OK to be perfectly illogical if that's what it takes to stop worriving.

Singles play defeats Iowa
By Aaron Johnson
Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas men's tennis team fought through a slow start against Iowa before emerging victorious yesterday afternoon at Alvamar Racquet Club, 4-3.
Kansas coach Ross Nwachukwu understood the importance of winning the match after losing to Minnesota Friday 5-2.
"It was definitely important to win the match," Nwachukwu said. "We started off slow but were able to dig ourselves out of the hole."
Earlier in the day, the Jayhawks (5-4) were unable to solidify the doubles point, losing two of three matches. Quentin Blakeney and Pete Stroer teamed up for the Jayhawks' lone doubles win as they defeated Iowa's Petar Mandic and Tom Bueltikofer, 8-6.
But the Jayhawks began their climb out of their hole with strong play in the singles portion of the match.
Eleazar Magallan led the strong singles play with a convincing win against Stuart Waters 6-3, 6-3 in the second singles slot.
"We didn't play as well as we could have at doubles," Magallan said. "But we played very well in singles and were able to win the important points."
Andrew Metzler was able to wrap up the match for the Jayhawks with a dominating performance against Iowa's David Freidj 6-2, 6-1 in the sixth singles match.
Blakeney and Stroer continued their strong play by beating their opponents in the third and fourth single positions.
Nwachukwu was impressed with the singles play but said the Jayhawks had room for improvement.
"Singles play was our strong point today," Nwachukwu said. "Our guys played well, but we need to work on doubles play and our fundamentals."
Nwachukwu also stressed the need to compete with pride.
"Our match against Minnesota gave us an opportunity to improve on our rankings, but our guys did not play with enough pride and intelligently enough," he said.
Rodrigo Echagary, the 'Hawks No. 1 singles player, understood Nwachukwu's comments.
"We stepped up today and played with pride," Echagary said. "Overall, the whole team played pretty well."
The Jayhawks will return to action on Friday when they travel to Philadelphia to face Pennsylvania.

Earnhardt dies in wreck at Daytona 500
The Associated Press
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Dale Erhardt, the seven-time Winston Cup champion and one of the most beloved stars in auto racing history, died yesterday from head injuries in a last-lap crash at the Daytona 500. He was 48.
Earnhardt, known as The Intimidator for his aggressive driving, had to be cut out of his car after slamming into the wall at about 180 mph on the final turn of the race while fighting for position.
He was taken to the hospital accompanied by his son, Dale Jr., an up-and-coming driver who finished second in the race. The elder Earnhardt's wife, Teresa, also was at the hospital.
"This is understandably the toughest announcement I've ever had to make. We've lost Dale
Earnhardt died instantly of head injuries, said Steve Bohannon, a doctor at Halifax Medical Center who also works at the track.
Earnhardt," NASCAR president Mike Helton said.
"There was nothing that could have been done for him," he said.
The accident happened a half-mile from the finish of the NASCAR season-opener. Earnhardt was third, slightly ahead of Sterling Marlin on the bottom of the high-banked fourth turn. As they fought for position, Earnhardt's car grazed Marlin's and turned sideways.
Earnhardt's car went up the banking and crashed into the wall at about 180 mph before being hit by Ken Schrader's car. Both cars slowly began to slide down to the bottom of the track as the rest of the field raced by.
"NASCAR has lost its greatest driver ever, and I personally have lost a great friend," NASCAR chairman Bill France Jr. said.
It was the second major wreck in five years in the race for Earnhardt. He flipped wildly on the backstretch near the end of the race in 1997 but was not seriously hurt. He came back to win the race the next year on his 20th try.
Earnhardt was the leader among active Winston Cup drivers with 76 career victories. He also had the most wins (34) at Daytona International Speedway, which lowered its huge American flag in the infield to half staff after the race.
The death made Michael Waltrip's victory virtually meaningless, as drivers mourned one of their greatest stars.
"I would rather be any place right this moment than here," Waltrip said. "It's so painful."
Track warms up for Big 12 Championship
The Kansas track and field team competed at the K-State Open Thursday and Friday. Inclement weather stopped some Jayhawks from making the trip to last weekend's Iowa State Indoor Invitational.
In the women's meet on Thursday, four Jayhawks won their events while four others posted top five finishes.
Senior Amanda Reves won the 800-meter race with a time of 21.68 seconds, and junior Katy Eisenmenger came out victorious in the 1,000-meter run (3:00.08). Senior All-American Andrea Branson notched another victory in the pole vault event with an 11-11 3/4 jump while freshman Lauren Browring placed first in the 3,000-meter event (10:52.74). Senior Ashley Pyle (pole vault), junior Jennifer Foster (shot put), senior Erika Hamel (long jump), and senior Emilia Aajayi (400 meter-dash) all recorded top five finishes.
Coach Stanley Redwine said he was pleased that several Jayhawks got the chance to compete in a meet the week before the Big 12 Championships.
Several members of the men's team finished strong in Manhattan Friday.
"It was another opportunity to give our athletes a chance to run their best," Redwine said.
The Jayhawks posted a 1-2 finish in the 60-meter hurdles event in which senior Eric Patterson (8.10) narrowly defeated sophomore Anson Jackson (8.29). Redwine said he was impressed with Patterson's and junior Armond Enclarde's (second in long jump-21-11 3/4) comebacks from injuries.
Senior All-American Scott Russell continued his dominance this weekend by winning the weight throw event with a toss of 73-5 1/2. Junior Jeremy Hull won the pole vault event by jumping 160 3/4.
Other Jayhawks that posted top five finishes include freshman Leo Bookman (60-meter dash), junior Dorian Jordan (400-meter dash) and junior Pete Prince (3,000 meters).

Freshmen's hot hands sink Jayhawks
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sports writer
If you told the Kansas mens basketball team before Saturday's game that it would hold Iowa State seniors Jamaal Tinsley and Kantrail Horton — arguably the best guard pair in the Big 12 Conference — to a combined 17 points on 3-21 shooting, the Jayhawks probably would have been gleeful.
But if you told the 'Hawks that freshman guards Jake Sullivan and Shane Power would torch them for 40 points on 13-17 shooting, including 10-12 from three-point range, they probably wouldn't have been so happy.
The Cyclones' 10-for-19 three-point barrage in their 79-71 win was similar to their long-range attack in the first match-up Feb. 5 in Allen Fieldhouse. Iowa State went 11-for-17 from behind the arc in that game and won 79-77.
It was freshman of the year candidate Sullivan, who is averaging more than 10 points a game, who kept the Cyclones in the game
early as Tinsley and Horton stalled. He scored 12 consecutive points for Iowa State and helped his team to a five-point lead in the first half. Sullivan's 12-point explosion included a shot from about 30 feet out that sent the Hilton Coliseum crowd into hysteria.
"After I shot that, I thought, 'Oh, thank God that went in,'" Sullivan said. "I was just feeling it today. I worked real hard all week on my shot."
Although it was Sullivan keeping the Cyclones in the game early, it was Power who made sure the 'Hawks wouldn't make a serious run late in the game, scoring 13 points in the second half.
And it wasn't as if the freshmen were creating their own opportunities. It was the seniors who were setting them up. Of Sullivan and Power's 10 three-pointers, nine of them came through assists by either Tinsley or Horton.
"Kantrail and Jamaal are two of the best guards in the country." Power said. "For them to come down and have the unselfishness to give it up to Jake and myself, it shows what great leads they are."
And I think that's why we win ball games."
Despite the freshmen's outstanding play, don't expect them to be taking any of Tinsley or Horton's minutes. Even with both seniors struggling from outside, Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy chose to go with experience rather than the hot hand.
"You're not going to take Kantrail and Jamaal out," Eustachy said. "They are going to be in this game. That leaves one spot for two people. It would have been easy to slip Jane in there because Jamaal is struggling from the perimeter, but he's our guy."
Although they didn't light up the scoreboard in the points category, both Tinsley and Horton played efficient games. Tinsley complemented his 11 points with 11 assists and six steals and Horton dished out five assists of his own.
"It's not all about the offensive end." Horton said of Tinsley's effort. "Our shots weren't falling tonight, but we stayed in the game and played defense. We'll take the win."

No. 6 Iowa State's women's basketball team needed to flex its muscles after a tough loss to Colorado Wednesday. So who better to pick on than a Kansas team that has struggled all season long?
Not so fast. Cyclones. These Jayhawks don't go down without a fight. And as Iowa State learned Saturday at Allen Fieldhouse, sometimes they don't go down at all.
With a 69-61 victory, Kansas (10-14 overall and 4-9 in the Big 12 Conference) slapped the Cyclones (20-4 and 10-3) with their third conference loss of the season and dropped them two games behind conference front-runner Oklahoma.
It was Kansas' biggest win to date and the biggest disappointment for Iowa State — a team that at one time figured on winning a B12 title.
Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly said the Cyclones weren't expecting to blow by the Jayhawks. Fennelly was well aware of Kansas' three experienced seniors — Jaclyn Johnson, Brooke Reves and Jennifer Jackson. What he didn't expect was four
three-pointers from junior guard K.C. Hilgenkamp and nine points from junior center Nikki White.
"We get everybody's best shot every time out, and sometimes that wears on you." Fennelly said.
Iowa State turned over the ball 11 times in the first half and fell behind 35-29 at halftime. The Cyclones tried to rally in the second half, cutting Kansas' lead to 61-59 with 1:32 remaining. But the Jayhawks made five-of-six free throws in the final minute and secured the win.
It was the second straight game in which free throws doomed the Cyclones. Wednesday, the Buffaloes were 22 of 23 from the line. Saturday, Kansas made 17 of 20 free throws.
After starting the season 20-2 and sitting atop the Big 12 standings for most of the year, the Cyclones, the defending Big 12 champions, have hit a snag. Iowa State, second in the conference in scoring at 81.2 points per game, has averaged just 63.5 points in the last two games.
Cyclone junior forward Angle Welle said she isn't sure what's wrong.
"Everybody's getting a little frustrated," she said.

HE WAS FOUND DEAD AFTER HE ACCIDENTALLY CRASHED OUR COMPUTER NETWORK.
LOS ANGELES (AP) — The slaughter of a pig on Survivor: The Australian Outback was condemned as gratuous and cruel by animal rights groups.
Survivor angers animal activists
www.nationalpost.com
POST OFFICE & WWW.NATIONALPOST.COM
On the Thursday episode of the CBS reality show, a knife-wielding player stabbed the wild pig to death and provided a source of food for hungry contestants. They also ate chicken after winning a challenge that rewarded them with three chickens and a rooster.
The slaughter, which was preceded by a viewer advisory, included shots of Michael Skupin of White Lake, Mich, holding a bloody knife and footage of the dead pig. The stabbing was not shown.
"I feel better about my position now that I've made this kill." a gleeful Skimp said in the episode.
People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals said it was outraged by what it called "escalating" violence toward animals on the CBS show. Last year, the group criticized the first Survivor when contestants dined on roasted rat.
Contestants are left to fend for themselves in the Australian wild, deciding which team members are popular or valuable enough to stay in the game. The last player left will collect $1 million.
The Associated Press
Wayne Pacelle, a senior president of The Humane Society of the United States, said the animal "died and suffered for entertainment purposes masquerading as 'hunting and gathering.'"
PETA suggested that a tame pig might have been deliberately placed in harm's way to stage the killing and asked CBS to preserve an unedited videotape relating to the episode.
Aprohibition on acts of animal cruelty should be among the rules governing reality television, Pacelle said Friday.
CBS denied the incident was staged and defended the broadcast.
"We firmly believe that our viewers recognize that hunting and fishing as a means of sustenance have been acceptable since the dawn of time," the network said in a statement Friday.
CBS said the show had given exposure to the point of view of vegetarians and animal rights supporters through contestant Kimmi Kappenberg of Ronkonkoma, N.Y., who has opposed meat-eating by other players.

Senate might grant money to religious organizations
By Brooke Hesler
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A proposed bill would allow Student Senate to grant money to religious organizations after the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics received financing last week..
the bill, which will go to Senate committees tomorrow, states that Senate must distribute money in a "viewpoint neutral fashion," meaning Senate cannot deny money solely on the basis of the organization's viewpoint. Brandon Bell, co-sponsor of the bill and off-campus senator, said that while he might not like the idea of granting money to religious groups, the bill is necessary.
"It's not up to Senate to decide what a religion is," Bell said. "We could have Muslim and Christian groups come through, but then we could have the Branch Davidians come through and ask for money. This gives us some more concrete guidelines."
Previously, Senate's rules and regulations handbook stated that Senate couldn't grant money to any organization whose primary function was religious. At last week's Senate meeting, there was much debate when the Society of OpenMinded Atheists and Agnostics was granted $387. Although SOMA is not registered as a religious organization with the office of Organizations and Leadership, the constitutionality of Senate's procedures for allocating money was called into question.
Marlon Marshall, student body vice president, told senators that he had received advice from General Counsel stating that some of the current clauses in the rules and regulations handbook could be considered unconstitutional because they discriminated against groups on the basis of expressed viewpoint.
Despite the fact that religious organizations may be eligible for money, the new bill states that Senate can't grant money to any group that exclusively promotes one religion. While some have said the wording is too vague, Bell disagrees.
"The wording in the bill is intentionally vague," Bell said. "It allows for a lot of debates on the issues when groups are coming through Senate."
Each organization would be required to submit a statement of purpose before submitting a funding proposal. Katie Bartlett, co-sponsor of the bill and Student Senate Executive Committee secretary, said she hoped the bill would remedy some problems.
"We might be more likely to fund Campus Crusade for Christ than a Catholic group because Campus Crusade encompasses more viewpoints." Bartlett said.
Aaron Profiff, University Affairs committee member, said although he hadn't read the bill, he thought it was the best idea thus far.

Budget woes hit University
By Cássio Furtado

Kansan staff writer
All University units have been asked to stop any hiring and equipment purchases, and to stop the hiring process for next year until new plans are made.
The University asked departments and schools yesterday to cut $1.15 million from this year's budget and prepare for a $3 million cut in next year's estimated budget.
The cuts were announced by Provest David Shulenburger in a press release and by Chancellor Robert Hemenway in an e-mail to faculty and staff.
lny reflect the University's reaction to the budget recommendations announced by Gov. Bill Graves on Jan. 8.
"You will begin to see the effects of these cuts immediately." Hemenway said in the
e-mail. "Expenses will be curtailed, positions will not be filled, equipment will not be purchased, and we will all be inconvenienced."
Hemenway said he remained hopeful that the legislature would amend the recommendations before it ended deliberations.
"I pledge that the University will do everything to encourage Topeka to support higher education," he said.
Hemenway said in the e-mail that the University's utility expenses had increased more than $1 million at the Lawrence campus and $400,000 at the University of Kansas Medical Center in the current fiscal year.
He said those costs, added to other administrative costs, would cause a shortfall of $1.15 million in the Lawrence campus budget and $364,000 in the Med Center budget.
Shulenburger said he hoped the legislla
BUDGET CUTS
What happened: The University has requested that schools and departments cut their budgets to account for a $1.15 million cut recommended by Gov. Bill Graves on Jan. 8.
**What it means:** All units will stop personnel hiring and equipment purchases for this year and suspend hiring plans for next year
What's next? Deans and department chairs will have to adapt to the cuts while the University continues to lobby for Graves and the legislature to restore the funds.
ture would approve the University's request for supplemental funds to cover these costs.
Marlin Rein, director of governmental affairs and budget, said the University
would continue to work with Graves and the legislature to try to obtain more money.
"It's not over until it's over," Rein said.
Stephen McAllister, dean of law, said the school had an unfilled staff position, which would not be filled.
He also said the school's legal aid clinic and student common area projects would be suspended temporarily.
"The cut will hurt us." McAllister said. "Proyects will be put on hold."
Carl Locke Jr., dean of engineering, said that the school had commitments to students and faculty at this point in the semester, but that the school would be able to adapt to the University's measures.
Students brew up homemade spirits
"It will be difficult, but we will be able to do it." Locke said.

Kansan staff writer
A five-gallon jug sits on the kitchen table in the apartment shared by Ben Johnson and Jennifer Gunby. The glass bottom of the jug covers the table almost completely, making it nearly impossible
for the couple to have a meal. The contents of the jug — a mostly amber liquid sandwiched by two layers of frothy foam — stew and gurge.
"This one's still going at it. It's still got bubbles. It's got another week before secondary fermentation," Gumbv said. "Then we'll bottle it."
Gunby, Roeland park junior, and Johnson, Shawnee sophomore, don't
mind the giant bottle obstructing their dinner conversation — the lack of a kitchen table one week out of the month is just something the couple has learned to accept in the name of their love of home brewing.
"It's actually very entertaining to watch the brew ferment," Gunby said. "The bubbles, they keep rising to the top in all sorts of shapes and sizes. It's
a wonderful conversation piece."
This one, Johnson will tell you, is a variation of a honey brown ale. It's his own recipe — his first true deviation from the tried and true recipes that he finds in brewing books and at home brew stores. Johnson began brewing this past summer, drawing his girlfriend.

Kitchens of meth: the drug's producers
A homemade disaster: meth's popularity due to easy recipe
By Phil Cauton
writer@kansan.com
Kansas senior staff write
Cooking methamphetamine made Adam feel like God.
After several years of honing his technique, he could make the best meth in Topeka. His stuff was revered on the street. Everybody wanted what he could make. They pleaded with him to cut them in on his next batch. They paid hundreds of dollars for it every week.
Of course, it didn't hurt that he was usually high on the drug himself, a drug which typically induces just such a feeling of omnibiotice.
Life and Meth A HOLLYWOOD SERIES
At least once a month, Adam would steal the ingredients he needed from Wal-Mart or have his customer/friends do it — 30 cans of starting fluid, 40 lithium batteries and 50 boxes of cold tablets. Because
he always abandoned equipment at the cook site, he'd also need a couple of mason jars, a small cooler, some coffee filters and a rubber hose.
Even though he could buy the ingredients and still turn a healthy profit, stealing was safer. In the quantities he needed, the ingredients could be red-flagged at the check-out counter.
Then, a few hours before sunset, he's head to one of his cook sites outside the city — Adam's favorite was under a low bridge on Highway 40. On the way, though, he had to stop by a farm to fill his cooler with anhydrous ammonia fertilizer. The pressurized, cylindrical feeder tanks he had staked out weren't
enclosed and were far enough from the farmer's house that he could steal the ingredient without a problem.
Adam needed the noxious fertilizer for its unusually quick evaporating quality. An hour after dissolving the cold tablets in it, he'd have a purer form of the pills' active ingredient, pseudoephedrine. Using lithium strips from the batteries and ether extracted from the starting fluid, he'd produce a blend of both lethal bi-products and a powerful stimulant.
In four or five hours total, he'd have a quarter-pound of meth — worth more than $11,000 — or enough to keep a couple dozen addicts high for a month.
Today Adam is locked up in Lansing correctional facility for manufacturing methamphetamine. Last year, a record 702
labs like Adam's were busted in Kansas, from unt just four in 1994.
Probably the single most facilitating factor in the Kansas meth boom is the diffusion of a quick and easy recipe — the one used by Adam and almost all other meth cooks, according to the Kansas Bureau of Investigation.
It's called the Nazi method, and hundreds of variations of the basic recipe are readily available on the Internet or in books like Uncle Fester's Secrets of Methamphetamine Manufacture.
Accounts vary on where the Nazi method originated. Some, such as KBI Director Larry Welch, say it goes back to meth's use by the German army (as well as Japanese

Students stage show in Budig computer lab
A group of people broke into song and dance at the Budig Hall computer lab yesterday afternoon. About 13 performers, seated throughout the lab, started singing at 12:15 p.m.
The people in the packed lab sat in silence and watched the five-minute song and dance unfold.
The group began the performance seated, singing solos, but then rose and started a dance number, singing an original composition about e-mail. The well-rehearsed performance ended with several singers leaving the lab, but most returned to their computers.
Minutes later, the lab was back to normal with people working on their computers.
The staged event was supposed to appear spontaneous.

KU student arrested for disorderly conduct
A 20-year-old KU student was arrested ed at 5:23 a.m. Sunday on charges of disorderly conduct and public intoxication. Lawrence police said.
The officer said the intoxicated student was lying in the street, trying to sit up.
An officer was sent to 14th and Ohio streets, near The Hawk, in response to a complaint about a person yelling and stopping traffic on the street, said Sgt. Susan Hadi.
The student also jumped onto the hood of the officer's patrol car, slapped the windshield and muttered incoherently about the Kansas-iowa State men's basketball game on Saturday.
Hadi said the patrol car was not damaged. The student would not answer officers' questions. After being arrested, he was taken to Douglas County Jail.

Lambda Sigma to raffle 'Chancellor for a Day'
A KU student will have a chance to call the shots around campus for a day, during the second "Chancellor for a Day" fund-raiser next month.
The event is sponsored by Lambda Sigma sophomore honor society.
Students can get raffle tickets from Lambda Sigma members from 9:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. next Tuesday and Wednesday, Feb. 27 and 28, at
Wescoe Beach. The honor society suggests a $1 donation for the tickets.
The winner will be announced March 2 and will exchange places with Chancellor Robert Hemenway one day the following week.
Jameson Jones, Lambda Sigma community service chairman, said the event was a great idea.
"It lets students know what the chancellor does," said Jones, Dallas sophomore.
Proceeds from the fund-raiser will be donated to Jubilee Café, a local soup kitchen that provides breakfast to homeless people.

Wescoe Hall evacuated after false fire alarm
Students were evacuated from Wescoe Hall yesterday morning when someone pulled a fire alarm, said Sgt. Troy Mailen from the KU Public Safety Office.
Pulling a fire alarm is a misdemeanor offense, Malen said, and officers on the scene filed a criminal report.
Mailen said if the person who pulled the alarm was found, he or she could face a fine or other penalties. Lacey Crowl, Lyons sophomore was in the building when it happened.
"We haven't been out here for that long," Crowl said. "We just lost some time in class."
If the person who pulled the alarm is not found, Mailen said the case would remain inactive pending any workable leads.

Henry County Sheriff's Department Sgt. William Ward heard a trucker say he was carrying two teen-agers who were looking for a ride to California.
Hospitals nationwide forced to ration shots
He and other officers apprehended James Parker, 16, and Robert Tulloch, 17, at the truckstop at 3 a.m. without incident.
Ward, who had heard the suspects in the Dartmouth slayings might be headed west, pretended to be a truck driver and said he would pick the boys up at a truckstop along interstate 70.
A nationwide manhunt for Parker and Tulloch had been launched over the weekend. They were believed to have left their hometown of Chelsea, Vt., on Thursday bound for Massachusetts.
WASHINGTON — Hospitals nationwide are rationing adult tetanus shots, reserving them for severely injured patients, because of a huge shortage of the crucial vaccine.
It's one of the worst drug shortages facing hospitals in years — and don't expect it to be the last. Shortages of medications that hospitals use every day are occurring with more frequency, and they more often involve products with few good alternatives.
Although experts can't point to a shortage that has cost a life, it's a possibility that haunts doctors and pharmacists struggling to cope.
"It's really hard to talk about rationing care," said Linda Tyler, pharmacy manager at the University of Utah Hospital. The hospital hasn't offered adult tetanus booster shots since fall, reserving scarce doses for high-risk patients with burns, infected wounds or other severe trauma.
"We use it till it's gone, and when it's gone, it's gone," she said.
So far the tetanus crisis concerns only adult versions of tetanus vaccine, not children's vaccine. But Centers for Disease Control and Prevention experts are watching closely to see if the shortage spreads — and worrying about adult illnesses this spring, when vaccine demand rises along with a seasonal jump in injuries.
Reagan enters poll as greatest president
WASHINGTON — Ronald Reagan has joined John F. Kennedy and Abraham Lincoln as those mentioned most often in a poll that asked Americans whom they regarded as the greatest president of the United States.
A year ago, Kennedy and Lincoln were mentioned most often in the Gallup poll asking that question, while Reagan was slightly behind along with Franklin Roosevelt.
Reagan moved up among the top three this year in the poll taken soon after news stories about his 90th birthday and his recovery from a broken hip.
This year, Reagan, Kennedy and Lincoln were followed by Bill Clinton, Franklin Roosevelt, Harry Truman, George Washington and Jimmy Carter, who were grouped together in the Gallup Poll. Others mentioned were George H.W. Bush, father of the current president, Theodore Roosevelt, Richard Nixon and Dwight Eisenhower. Others were mentioned by a combined 5 percent.
Reagan was mentioned by 18 percent, Kennedy by 16 percent and Lincoln by 14 percent in the poll of 529 adults taken Feb. 9.11. The poll had an error margin of 5 percentage points.

Meeting to focus on Black life
By Dony Phillips
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Nine hundred students, advisers and faculty are scheduled to descend on the Kansas Union later this week for the 24th annual Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government.
The conference's theme is "Mind, Body and Soul: Complete Blackness," and is sponsored by the Black Student Union.
Conference co-chair Cassandra Young, Olathe junior, said the event had been in the planning stages for a year and a half. She came on board last summer with co-chair Natalie Lucas, Kansas City, Mo., senior, to take over the preparation reins.
"Big 12 is the most prevalent thing in my life." Young said.
Delegates from all of the Big 12 schools as well as smaller regional universities, such as Wichita State and Emporia State, will attend the conference from Feb. 22 to 25. The conference includes more than 40 workshops, keynote speakers, a comedy show and a gospel performance.
The workshops will be in the Kansas Union and Spencer Museum of Art, while the continental breakfast and speeches will be at the Holiday Inn Holldome, 200 McDonald Drive. Black Student Union President Courtney Bates is organizing the comedy and talent shows. She said she was looking forward to the conference because it would be a chance for her to meet different students from outside of the region.
Every year a member institution of the council sponsors the Big 12 Conference.
A council on Black student government was created in 1977, then called the Big 8 Conference. Since its inception, the council and its annual conference have evolved to promote leadership and academic excellence.

Housing plan would make residence halls smoke-free
By Cynthia Malakasis writer@kansan.com
Kansan Staff writer
If the Department of Student Housing's plan is carried out, all KU residence halls will eventually become completely smoke-free, said Diana Robertson, associate director of student housing.
Robertson said student housing reached the decision because of the increased number of requests they had received for a smoke-free environment. She said 70 to 80 percent of residents are nonsmokers.
According to the current plan, KU residence halls will become smoke-free as they are renovated. Robertson said.
Ellsworth, Lewis and Templin halls are already completely smoke-free. The three halls became smoke-free in Fall 2000, after a recommendation from the Association for University Residence Halls, said Ken Stoner, director of student housing.
Right now, smoking is prohibited in all scholarship halls, public halls and eating areas in residence halls.
Robertson said she thought some students who smoke would call themselves non-smokers in their housing application, so they could have smoke-free living quarters.
Residents are allowed to smoke in rooms on specific floors, but must keep their doors closed and have consent from their roommates.
This way, she said, they could still smoke on the floors where it was allowed.
Jennifer Pierce, Lexington, Ky., sophomore, said even though it could be hard for her to deal with her roommate's smoke, she still
thought smokers' needs should be respected.
"People who want to smoke should be able to," she said.
Pierce, a Hashinger Hall resident who doesn't smoke, chose to live on a smoking floor because she wanted to live in Hashiger, which had limited space.
"People should have a choice whether they want to be around it or not," she said.
Kevin Roche, a Hashinger resident who is in the process of quitting, said he thought housing definitely needed both a smoking and a nonsmoking option.
"You should have the right to smoke in your living quarters," said Roche, Chicago freshman.
Blake Doss, Neenah, Wis. freshman and Lewis Hall resident, has a slightly different perspective.
Doss said he didn't smoke and he cherished his smokefree free arrangement.
But he also said smokers' needs should be taken into consideration.
"There has to be a medium somewhere." Doss said. "It's a really tough issue."
Although smoking may seem to be a potential fire hazard, Robertson said it was not really a factor in the decision.
"The predominant concern was more health-related," she said. "Candles present the biggest hazard."
According to a 1995 Kansas law, smoking is prohibited in all state-owned buildings.
Stoner said smoking in University housing units had been allowed before the law had been passed.
An exception to the law allows Regents schools to set their own smoking policies.
"The exception just left it the way it was," he said.
The trend is not restricted
SMOKING POLICIES
Big 12 Conference residence hall smoking policies:
Baylor residence halls are completely smoke-free.
iowa State allows smoking with roommate's consent and the door closed. Smoke-free facilities are available.
Kansas State plans to make all university housing smoke-free by Aua. 17.
At Oklahoma State, residents vote each year whether they want the entire residence hall, including public areas, to be smoke-free. In certain residence halls, smoking is allowed in students' rooms.
- Texas A&M is completely smoke-free.
- Texas Tech students can smoke in their rooms with the consent of roommates.
- Colorado generally allows smoking, but some residence halls are designated smoke<sup>-f</sup>
Missouri allows smoking with consent of roommates.
Nebraska offers smoking rooms by request in its housing contracts.
Texas student housing facilities are completely smoke-free.
Oklahoma has four dorms, two of which are completely smoke-free. The others each have one smoking floor.
to the University, however. Kansas State University has decided to make all residence halls smoke-free on Aug. 17, 2001, after surveys revealed that 80 percent of K-State residents don't smoke.

Stoner said he thought the smoke-free trend was present across the United States.
"We're moving in that direction," he said.
Host families immerse Japanese KU students in language, traditions

He has been playing different games with visiting students since he was 3 years old, and he remembers each one.
Michael Goble doesn't let his new brothers leave without a game of one-on-one on the family's driveway basketball court.
The 13-year-old has made it a tradition to play basketball with students visiting his home from Kanagawa University in Hiratsuka, Japan.
This year, 11 students, at the University of Kansas for a month-long study abroad program, took a break from residence-hall life to stay with host families for a weekend.
Local residents open their homes to the students, allowing them to experience life within an American family.
"I still remember our first family," Goble said. "It means a lot to me that our family is a host family to other students."
Goble helps the Japanese students with the language and the culture. The self-proclaimed sports fanatic enjoys playing games with the newest family members, especially basketball.
His mother, Dana Goble, said Michael never missed a chance to shoot baskets with others.
"It doesn't matter how cold it is. He will have them out there shooting baskets," she said.
The Gobles began serving as a host family 10 years ago when the Kanagawa students first started attending the University.
Daichi Kimura and Ryohei Yamauchi stayed with the Gobles this year. The two from Hiratsuka, a sister city of Lawrence, spent a normal weekend with the family.
"They are so amazed to see the horizon," Goble said. "They don't have that opportunity at home."

They played board games while getting to know one another. The family took them to church and fixed them the traditional American cuisine: steak and
For Atsushi Kurihara, the month-long program was a return to America. He lived in the States for seven years after his father's job brought the family here.
He was excited to stay in an American house and to continue to work on his communication skills.
Kurihara's father was transferred back, but Kurihara yearned to come back to the United States.
The retired physician and his wife, who have played host to students in the past, think it is important not only personally but for the two countries as well.
"I like America a lot better than Japan," he said. "The people are different; they are very kind. I want to live in America."

ney would like to help strengthen the bonds between the countries while giving Yumi Tanikawa and Namiki Kingawa a fun weekend.
"Usually, it's a matter of telling them what they want to do." Dick Beach said. "We want them to get a balanced view."
While families provide their homes, they give students much more than a break from campus. They can help propel the students' speaking skills. A weekend immersed in English can strengthen those skills.
Sheri Valentine-Meunier, a teacher at the Applied English Center, has witnessed the benefits of staving with a host family.
"The kids that have host families speak more fluent English, especially if the family has children," she said. "They aren't afraid to practice in front of children. They improve a lot faster."
Students share health-related information with peers

Tyr a Babington coordinator of the center for peer health promotion at Watkins, said any student could volunteer to work with Peers Reaching Others.
Platt, a Dyer, Ind., senior has been a facilitator for Peers Reaching Others for the Watkins health promotions department for the past two years. As part of her job, she speaks with other students about sexual health issues.
"If there is one more person I connect with, one more person who would be a little more informed about making educated sexual health choices, then I feel I have accomplished something." Platt said.

nificant other," she said.
Babington said the group had 10 volunteers, but she hoped to increase the number to 25 this semester.
Randall Rock, physician at Watkins and associate director of health education, said if enough volunteers were recruited, he wanted to implement a noncredit training course this semester to train the volunteers to speak with their peers about health issues.
Rock also said he hoped to see Bacchus and Gamma, two health-related student groups, reinvigorated on campus.
Babington said the training process for students was currently administered through Watkins health educators.
"Those organizations are for training and certifying peer educators," Rock said. "It's an opportunity for students to develop those skills."
Bill Smith, health educator at Watkins, said the training process involved basic presentation skills and focused on educating students about sexual health issues and alcohol's relation to sexual health.
Smith said that Peers Reaching Others was a good way to reach students on sexual health issues.
"We want to promote that the PROs are available to instructors, residence halls, fraternities, to do presentations on sexual health and relationships," he said. "They are not being utilized as they have been in the past. It is a good way to reach people because they are peers, and students can relate more to another student."

Liberal media distort reality of gun shows
If you have never been to a gun show, you probably have a negative opinion of them. That's understandable, considering most people's views on guns and gun-related issues are molded by a news media that love using their First Amendment rights to undermine the Second Amendment rights of law-abiding citizens.
To hear supposedly objective, unbiased journalists such as Dan Rather and Peter Jennings, you'd think that gun shows are inventions of Satan himself, and that anyone who's ever been to one will have to justify his attendance to the Almighty on Judgment Day or be cast into the lake of fire.
Just imagine an entire convention cen-
for slightly spiced tables where gun dealers sell everything from handguns and rifles to bulk ammunition, hunting knives, camouflage gear and now-outdated bumper stickers telling Al Gore where he can stick his latest gun control proposal.
.
Surely this must be a criminal's paradise!
Surely this den of cut-throats and thieves
John McCool columnist opinion@kansan.com
should have no place in civilized society! I went to a gun show last weekend in Overland Park. And I can assure you that, aside from a police station, it was the safest place in town. That's because, as a general rule, criminals victimize the weak, avoid the strong and fear the armed.
Policemen were there, but they were shopping, not patrolling. The hundreds in attendance were not plotting revolution or stocking up for their next bank robbery. Instead, they were pursuing their gun-collecting hobbies; buying hunting supplies; acquiring the tools to defend themselves, their families and property; and gathering with others who cherish our unique American right to keep and bear arms. The prevailing spirit was an inspiring mix of patriotism and camaraderie.
Among the patrons, most were men, but many women were there too — even parents carrying young children while checking out the latest handgun models. Some would call this child abuse; I'd call it passing on freedom's legacy to the next generation of Americans.
Indeed, there are many myths and flat-out lies concerning gun shows that have festered for too long — principally that gun shows cater to criminals. Actually, every dealer is federally licensed and must conduct FBI background checks of all customers. Before a sale can occur, the FBI must report that the person has no prior criminal convictions or outstanding warrants. The rules for buying a gun at a gun show are no different than anywhere else.
Gun control advocates often demand that Congress close the "gun show loophole," which allows a few private individuals to sell guns at gun shows without performing background checks. Actually, these people are no different from the guy who sells a rifle to his brother-in-law or the widow who sells off her late husband's gun collection. They're not "engaged in the business" of selling firearms, so they need not obtain a license or perform background checks.
Banning private sales at gun shows would only be the precursor to banning all private sales of guns in America — something a freedom-loving people would never tolerate.
Despite the extremist rhetoric from gun controllers, the National Institute of Justice reports that only two percent of guns used in crimes come from gun shows. That explodes the bogus statistics given by misleading gun-haters such as Rep. Diana DeGette, D-Col., who claim that 70 percent of criminal guns are bought at gun shows.
So, instead of lapping up the liberals' phony portrayal of gun shows, take some time to learn the truth. Better yet, visit one and see for yourself. There's one in Kansas City this weekend. See you there.

Public actions outweigh politicians' moral codes
If our politicians' morals are to be political issues, then let's discuss the morality of some of our politicians' attitudes toward the Vietnam War, from most moral to least: Al Gore, Bill Clinton, and George W. Bush. Gore volunteered to go to Vietnam. He thought for himself, came to a conclusion and acted on it. Gore risked his life for what he believed. Granted, he was in the journalist corps, but at least he was there. The only way Bush would have seen a Vietnamese bullet was if somebody mailed him one.
Next comes Clinton.
First, let's dispel a myth: Clinton did not break the law to dodge the draft. If he had, he would have been prosecuted and sent to jail. Clinton took advantage of student deferment laws. If you don't like that fact, just remember who is ultimately responsible for the laws in a democracy.
I am a student of mathematics.
If you still think Clinton broke the law, then ask yourself which is more important: laws or morals? Following orders or thinking for yourself?
In my experience, the people who chastise Clinton for dodging the draft advocate blind obedience to the government. Only in fascism is that a virtue.
John
Audiehelm

opinion@kansas.com
That's why Clinton earns moral points in my book. He had the courage to lead protests
I consider thinking for oneself to be a moral virtue. I also think that citizens of a democracy have a responsibility to question their government and to challenge each other's ideas.
Many Americans have died so that we could have the right to think for ourselves. To do anything less is to dishonor their memories.
and stand up for what he believed in.
And that's why Bush falls. He was rich and well-connected enough to get into the Texas Air National Guard, where he bravely defended his state from the awesome military might of, say, Oklahoma.
Don't get me wrong; I am not saying that Bush is a fascist. The fact that he chose to join the National Guard shows that he was thinking for himself. It also means that Bush has done more to serve his country's armed forces than I ever have or probably ever will.
Bush can't change who he is. He can't help that he was born into a rich family. Bush was taking advantage of the options available to him, just as Clinton did. If I had to choose between going to Vietnam and joining the National Guard, I'd join the National Guard, too.
But, to pass moral muster, Bush needs to be honest about why he chose to join the National Guard. If he thought Vietnam was an immoral war, he should have said so. If he just didn't want to get shot, that's fine. I don't want to get shot either.
I hope this piece starts a discussion on the topic. But what I really hope readers take from this piece is a demonstration on why morals should not be political issues.
Republicans need to quit acting like they're the only people who are willing to fight for their country. Gore and Bush both knock down that stereotype.
We need to judge our leaders not on their morals, but on the actions they take in the public sphere. Going to a war, no matter who you are, certainly counts as a public decision.
From that perspective, I argue the following: that Gore should be commended for his bravery, that Clinton should be commended for speaking his mind, and that Bush should be honest about why he chose not to go to Vietnam.
But if we are going to talk about politicians and their morals, could we please talk about something other than sex?

Restrictions on abortions overseas pose global threat
Bush's executive order would foster overpopulation in underdeveloped nations.
The 28th anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court's decision in *Roe v. Wade*, was not a day of celebration but a day of silent mourning for underdeveloped nations.
President George W. Bush changed the rules Jan. 22 for overseas family planning agencies, which collect $425 million in aid each year from the U.S.
Bush's order prevents foreign non-government agencies from discussing abortion as an option or advocating the procedure unless they want to lose funds. Furthermore, the ban restricts aid given to nongovernment agencies that participate in international abortion lobbying.
Bush skewed the foreign aid guidelines by stating "taxpayer funds should not be used to pay for abortions." Since 1973, federal law has prohibited overseas abortions from being subsidized with U.S. funding. Moreover, women should have access to all options of family planning, including abortion.
The new order clashes with guidelines adopted at the 1994 United Nations population conference in Cairo. The U.S. was one of 160 countries that agreed to prevent the world's population from exceeding 8 billion people by establishing global access to birth control methods and reproductive freedom by 2015.
The world's population is at 6 billion people and growing rapidly. The haunted scenes of back-alley abortions and unnecessary maternal deaths may resurface as illegal abortion becomes the only solution available to many women in third world countries.
The rapid increase of the global population is limiting food supplies while continuing to drain the world's already stressed water resources. Without food and water, human life cannot be sustained.
Bush's order directly inhibits the reproductive rights of third world women and saddles already overpopulated countries with an even greater burden. Indirectly, his order promotes the irresponsible behavior of underdeveloped nations.

Free papers may increase fees
Senate's survey indicates interest
By Brooke Hesler
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff write
While the trial run of the newspaper readership program ended earlier this month, a permanent program might be in place by next fall.
Ben Walker, student body president, drafted legislation this week which would increase student fees by $6.50 per semester so students could pick up newspapers around campus.
"The more students who read news papers, the more informed they are about things that are going on in their community," Walker said. "That means the more likely they'll be to get involved in their community."
Walker said the Kansas City Star, the Lawrence JournalWorld, the New York Times and USA Today all would be available at approximately
20 locations around campus if his plan is approved.
Last week, Student Senate passed out surveys near the locations where the papers were distributed during the four-week pilot program. Of 201 students surveyed, 75 said they would be willing to have their fees increased by $10 or more to have the papers available, 40 students said they would be willing to pay an extra $5 to $10 to have the papers,and 71 students said they would pay less than $5 for the service.
In a kansan.com poll last week, 19 percent of students surveyed said they didn't read the papers, 30 percent said they were already paying too much in fees, 17 percent said fees shouldn't rise excessively, and 32 percent said they liked having the papers available. Ninety-six people voted in the unscientific poll.
Walker said the $6.50 was a small amount of money for what students would get in return.
"If you compare the cost of that to just one subscription to any of these papers, it's a lot less," Walker said. "I

think most students are behind this.' Despite the survey results, Emily Stintzi, Overland Park sophomore, said she didn't want to pay for the program.
"We have fees increased all the time," Stintzi said. "I know that I personally won't read the papers very much. I read them online. If people
want to read them, then they should get a subscription. They shouldn't make everyone pay for it."
Despite Stintzi's remarks, Senate's survey found that 44 percent of students, 83 students total, said they never had access to newspapers online.
Anne Wolff, Chicago junior, said she agreed with Walker.
Walker said he thought the program would benefit the University community.
"There are a lot of students who pay for services they don't use." Walker said. "The point is this is available to all students."
"It seems like a really good deal," she said. "I mean $6.50 for newspapers is pretty good."
Michael Wheeler, Bonner Springs senior, said he liked the idea.
that price isn't too bad" Wheeler said. "I picked them up every day when they were there."
Walker's plan will head to Senate committees tomorrow.

not ideal, but that's the best we can do at this point."
Proffit also said the bill wouldn't put an end to the issue of granting money to religious and partisan organizations.
"I foresee it taking years to work out operations," he said. "This is really going to demand a judgment call in determining if an organization is really open to everyone. Because these issues get so emotional, I think senators are going to have trouble putting their own personal beliefs aside."
Senate suspended the clause concerning religious organizations, but a similar clause, stating that Senate couldn't grant money for partisan activities was not suspended. The new bill states that Senate can't grant money for unique partisan activities.
"This means that we might not grant Young Democrats money for a speaker because that speaker only expresses one point of view," Bell said. "But we might grant money to both the Republicans and the Democrats if they wanted to have a joint forum where multiple viewpoints were expressed."
If the bill passes Senate committees tomorrow, it will go to full Senate for a vote next week.

RELIGIOUS FUNDING
What happened: A bill has been drafted to clear up some questions about Student Senate's allocating money to religious groups.
What it means: If the bill passes Senate committees and then full Senate, religious groups could get funding from Senate.
What's next? The bill will go to Senate committees tomorrow.
Home brewers get creative
Continued from page 1A
Gunby, into his hobby in the fall.
"I started last July," Johnson said. "My older brother got into it and had decided to stop, and so he gave me his brewing stuff."
Using techniques he found in The New Complete Joy of Home Brewing by Charlie Papazian, a book that his brother also had given him. Johnson brewed and bottled his first batch this summer at his parents' home in Shawnee.
"The first beer I made was awesome," Johnson said. "It was a red ale. It tasted so good, it got me hooked."
Barry Fitzgerald, treasurer of the Lawrence Brewers Guild, said that Johnson and Gunby fit the mold of most novice brewers.
"Most people probably get into it because they know someone — a friend or a family member," Fitzgerald said. "But I think a small percentage is those who have a like-to-make-stuff knack."
Johnson maintains that he's a cross between the two — yes, he got his brother's hand-me-downs, but he also has a love for cooking, which, he said, is very similar to brewing.
"In the world we live in, so much is provided for us," Johnson said. "Usually we don't know how the heck it's made. It's the little way I can create and give power to myself. Plus, I like cooking and I like beer."

$50 and $100, not including the first batch. It's not very expensive."

Joe Yoder
President of the Lawrence Brewers Guild
Lawrence Brewers Guild, said that one advantage of home brewing, other than the control brewers can have over their drinks, was that it could be a relatively inexpensive way to obtain alcohol.
"A person could easily get started spending between $50 and $100, not including the first batch," Yoder said. "It's not very expensive."
Johnson and Gunby estimate that they have made about 11 batches since their start this summer, although not all of the batches have been drinkable.
"We've messed up on a few of them." Gunby said. "We
keep incorporating new gadgets, and we haven't totally worked out all the kinks vet."
Together they search for the right grains and extracts, they test new recipes, and they spend an entire Saturday sanitizing, steeping grains and preparing a batch for fermentation.
Now, the couple travels regularly to Kansas City to Bacchus and Barleycorn LTD, and The Home Brew Pro Shoppe, to get the right ingredients because there is no home brew store in Lawrence.
"It pretty much takes all day Saturday to do," Gunby said. "The cleaning is the hardest part. Everything has to be sanitized or you ruin the entire batch."
Each batch makes about four-and-a-half gallons of beer, or about six to eight six-packs.
That's more than the couple can really handle, considering Gunny doesn't even drink the beer she helps to brew.
"I haven't found a beer I really like yet." Gunby said. "So part of the fun is trying to find a beer I like."
Meanwhile, the couple is proud to share their concoctions with their friends, most of whom, they said, would rather guzzle their brew than the Bud Light which also chills in their fridge.
"Whenever people come over, we like them to drink it," Johnson said. "Because I like beer, but more than that I like to drink with others."

Clandestine labs yield poison
Continued from page 1B
and Allied forces) to keep soldiers energized and aggressive during combat. Others, such as KBI Narcotics Agent Jeff Brandau, say the method got its name from a cook in southwest Missouri who kept the recipe on a sheet with swastika letterhead. Brandau thinks that while the drug was certainly administered in combat, World War II meth was probably made with an older technique.
CAUTION
1005
2
The older technique was far more complex and required days to complete. That so-called phenyl-to-propanol method required expensive, regulated chemicals and an intricate network of test tubes, beakers and burners. Without the Internet, recipes were jealously guarded by cooks, so meth production was held in check. Consequently, a gram — which goes for about $100 today — cost $250 or more, further reducing its availability.
The Nazi method overcame all these difficulties. Jim Schieferecke, KBI chemist, said cooking meth is now about as easy as cooking a steak. "If one person has watched another person do it once, they can do it, too," Schieferecke said. "They're the type of people who flunked chemistry, but now they're doing it."
Today, meth thrives in the drug culture, and experts say there's little law enforcement can do to counter the trend.
Without a clue
"All you have to do is make a decision to make the drug, find a recipe — which is fairly simple — get the supplies, and in a couple hours, you've got meth," said KBI Director Welch. "That creates a real enforcement problem for us."
Meth labs are as insidious as rural moonshine once was, and finding them is no easier than shaking down every barn, motel room and apartment in Kansas. Cooks only need a closet's worth of space and a few household items that can fit in a small duffle bag. Many cooks, like Adam, head out into the open air of rural Kansas where the powerful ammonia fumes won't be smelled by others.
Concentrated ammonia fertilizer is commonly kept in unguarded feeder tanks like these for use by farmers. Theft from such feeder tanks is increasing in step with addiction to meth. Ammonia is one of the key ingredients in homemade meth. Photo by Phil Cauthon/KANSAN
Because labs are so easily concealed, law enforcement must look for subtle clues to find lab locations. City cops follow ammonia's stench or look for cars with cups hanging out a window — a common way of letting the ammonia evaporate while cooking meth in automobiles. Sheriffs look for tire tracks on seldom-used dirt roads. A cluster of trash — coffee filters, aerosol cans, medicine boxes — out in the woods can mark a favorite lab site, and the abandoned coolers used to transport anhydrous ammonia often indicate a lab's proximity.
"In some cases we're telling people things they had no idea about. But we're also out there trying to change attitudes," Garman said. "It's like President Bush said September 5, 1989 — Who's responsible for drug use? Well, everyone who uses drugs, everyone who sells drugs, and everyone else who looks the other way."
Many local police and sheriff departments have begun major educational campaigns to increase the number of eyes and ears that might spot meth in the making. Lieutenant Joe Garman of Saline County's Drug Task Force works in the community teaching neighborhood groups, community organizations, county employees, students and businesses what to look for.
Saline County's strategy seems to be

Drowning in the problem
But even after they've done the impossible — tracking down a lab — there's only so much Garman and other local law enforcers can do.
ucts capable of dissolving skin or permanently scorching the eyes and lungs. Only a handful of Kansas' law enforcers — most of whom are KBI agents — have the OSHA and EPA certification necessary to enter a lab and collect evidence.
Each lab is literally a toxic waste site strenu了 with hazardous byproduct.
Each training course requires a week of time away from duty. Then, to work a case, each officer needs a minimum of $3,000-worth of safety equipment — breathing apparatus, face protection and chemical-proof clothing. Add to that a minimum $1,300 — and usually $3,500 or more — for cleaning up each lab site.
Kirk Thompson, Kansas' High Density Trafficking Area coordinator, said even if every cop in the state were properly trained, few departments have enough money for the equipment to independently handle meth labs. Consequently, Garman and other local cops are often limited to guarding the site until the KBI shows up, which further reduces their limited time to uncover remaining labs.
But even the KBI doesn't have enough resources to police the state's meth.
"Quite frankly, we're at a saturation point," Thompson said. "There's a lot more meth labs out there, but there's not much more we can do with the resources we have."

Kansas' opponents score Big 12 honors
DALLAS — Baylor guard Terry Black and Iowa State guard Jake Sullivan both earned Big 1.2 Conference weeklv honors yesterday.
And both big games came at Kansas' expense.
Black averaged 22.5 points in two games against ranked opponents

Sullain scored a career-high 22 points in Iowa State's 79-71 win against Kansas on Saturday and was chosen Phillips 66 Big 12 Rookie of the Week. Both honors are selected by a media panel.
Black, a senior, scored 20 points on eight-of-10 shooting in the win against Kansas — a victory that snapped a 17-game losing streak against ranked foes for Baylor.
Black added 25 points in an 80-62 loss at then-No. 13 Oklahoma and also pulled down seven rebounds.
Sullivan teamed up with fellow freshman Shane Power, scoring a combined 40 points in Iowa State's lone game of the week against Kansas.
Sullivan was eight-for-11 from the field for the game, which included going six-for-eight from three-point range. Sullivan at one point made six-straight treys against the Jayhawks.

MLB
Belle faces physical that decides career
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Albert Belle has been working diligently in the batting cage at the Baltimore
Orioles' spring training camp, certain that he will begin the season in right field.
Yet there is a chance he may never play again for the
Tampa
Orioles — or any other team.
Belle faces a very important physical this morning.
If his arthritic right hip is deemed acceptable by team physicians, it will be possible for him to join the rest of Baltimore's position players in the first full-team practice of the spring.
But there is a distinct possibility that Belle's degenerative hip could prevent him from passing the physical.
If Belle fails the physical, the 34-year-old outfielder could be finished with his baseball career.
However, according to baseball's collective bargaining agreement, he would be entitled to a second opinion by a nonteam doctor.
The case ultimately could end up in a grievance hearing in front of commissioner Bud Selig or his staff.
But Belle said he didn't expect that to happen.
"I feel like right now I can play. How many games, I couldn't tell you," he said. "it'll just be day-by-day. But I'm pretty much on course."
NASCAR
Autopsy doesn't reveal if brace prevents injury
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Dale Earnhardt died of blunt force injuries to the head, but Dr. Thomas Parsons' examination could not determine whether Earnhardt's decision not to wear a new protective device called the Head And Neck Safety system during Sunday's Daytona 500 contributed to his death, said Dave Byron, a Volusia County spokesman.
Only about six drivers donned the U-shaped device for the 500. The brace keeps the driver's head and neck from snapping forward on impact, perhaps preventing skull and neck fractures, but Earnhardt and most other drivers shunned it as bulky and uncomfortable.
Earnhardt, 49, died instantly
Sunday after losing control of his car on the final lap and slamming head-on into a concrete wall at 180 mph.
Three other NASCAR drivers, Adam Petty, Kenny Irwin and truck racer Tony Roper, died last year of similar injuries.
The final autopsy report will not be available for several weeks, pending the completion of routine blood and toxicology tests, Byron said.

Dodgers' Sheffield seeks trade, respect
The Associated Press
Gary Sheffield is demanding a new contract or a trade to the Yankees, New York Mets or Atlanta, and the Los Angeles Dodgers are trying to accommodate the slugging outfielder.
Sheffield is signed to a $61 million, six-year contract that pays him $9.5 million in each of the next two seasons and $11 million in 2003. The deal includes an $11 million team option for 2004.
Sheffield hit .325 with 43 home runs and 109 RBI last season. He has said he does not intend to report to spring training this year at Vero Beach, Fla.
"It isn't about money; it's about the disrespect I've had to deal with since I came here." Sheffield told the Los Angeles
Times. "Every year I hear my name mentioned with some trade for some other star player."
"Why should I continue to perform the way I have for them if I'm going to be dangled out there like that all the time? Obviously, they don't appreciate me, so why not just send me some place where I will be appreciated?" he said.
The mandatory reporting date for spring training is a week away.
"If Gary's not here on Feb. 27, the situation will be resolved," said Dodgers general manager Kevin Malone.
Dwight Gooden, Sheffield's uncle, said his nephew had talked about, playing in New York since he was a kid.
"Obviously for me, I'd like to see him here," the Yankees
pitcher said. "But the Mets, that would be an ideal fit for him as well. Put him in the middle of the lineup with Piazza — two hitters like that, you'd have to throw to one of them."
The Chicago White Sox, meanwhile, are still waiting for the arrival of newly acquired David Wells.
The left-hander was excused for personal business when the rest of the pitchers and catchers reported last Friday. He was scheduled to arrive today, but agent Gregg Clifton told team officials that now his client is being delayed until Thursday.
"I'd like to meet him," White Sox manager Jerry Manuel said at Tucson. Ariz.
game winner, acquired in a disputed January trade with Toronto, all the leeway he needs.
He's counting on Wells start ing the April 2 opener at Cleveland.
Manuel, however, isn't perturbed at all by Wells' tardiness. He's going to give the 20
"I might say go to Cleveland,
"get your room and we'll meet
you when we get there,"
Manuel said.
Before Wells and the White Sox can get comfortable, the commissioner's office must rule on the recent trade that brought him to Chicago for Mike Siroka.
Sirotka has shoulder problems and the Blue Jays are seeking additional compensation. Both teams must have their documentation in the dispute to the commissioner's office by today.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 20).
You've always been a dreamer, but this year your dreams have a message. Figure out what you're trying to tell yourself and win both love and success. Visualize the home you you've always wanted by March.
Another speaks well of you, to help you get a raise or a better job around April. If renovations are required, do the job in May. Big changes for the better come in June.
Settle in with loved ones in July. Do your best all year, and another promotion's possible around December.
Take time for contemplation and renewal in February.
Aries (March 21-April 19) Today is a 7.
You and your friends have lots of wonderful plans, but hold on. Are you talking this project to death? Don't get overly rational. A hunch might lead you in the right direction or keep you from making a silly mistake.
You don't have enough of a necessity to do what you'd like for somebody else. Why not offer to take care of a chore that has an older person stymied? For you, it'll be relatively easy.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) Today is a 6.
You want to try something new, but an older person puts a lid on your enthusiasm. Find out why before you run off in a huff. If you can learn the other point of view, you'll prove you really are that smart.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 5.
You're probably thinking about your money and how to make it grow. You may also wonder if you have enough insurance. Take care of these chores now and ask to take Friday off. You'll have earned it.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22) — Today is a 5.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 6.
Service is the key to your success, your mental and physical well-being, everything. But you're not getting paid anywhere near enough. It's OK to do a few benefits if it gets you closer to the big money, or some other reward.
Your partner or an expert you've hired has taken control of the situation. You can let the other person manage the operation, but don't put your brain into neutral. You're still responsible for the outcome.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 7.
You can express yourself well, but don't get gibbly; somebody could take offense. You can make sure the other person's OK, and that's a good idea. Don't let a careless remark turn into a festering wound.
You need some time for contemplation. How about those books you've meant to read? Don't spend all day with a busy mind. Spend some time gazing out the window or listening to soothing music.
You want to fix up your place, but you and your sweetheart can't agree on how it should be done. Better work on the relationship before you worry about your house's foundation.
Scarpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
Sogittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
You're practicing, studying and polishing your skills. It might feel like it's costing you, but the time you spend on your hobby is good for you. It helps you stay objective.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Today is a 5.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is an 8.
You're creative now. You have the ideas, but not the money. This should be noticeable as you try to make changes to your home. But you lack for nothing. Your imagination is a valuable tool, so use it wisely.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) --- Today is a 6.
You're struggling with something. Is there a lot of noise and confusion at home? You may have to go somewhere else if you can't find any peace and quiet there. Or maybe you can just put your foot down.

Among highlights are Borderline, the tale of a young Black couple who encounter bigotry while vacationing in a Swiss resort; Siren of the Tropics, Baker's own story of a poor St. Louis girl who becomes the toast of Paris as a sultry jazz singer; and Body and Soul, a tour de force starring Robeson as an escaped convict who assumes the identity of a preacher in a small town.
Silent films celebrate Black History Month
today, no more than 100 Black-produced films from that era remain, archivists say — and many of them are badly decomposed or reduced to fragments. Those lucky enough to fall into the hands of film preservationists before being scarred by "nitric melt" are kept in near-freezing vaults to slow down their deterioration.
During the Eastman House retrospective, titled Black Silent Cinema: A Revival and running through Saturday, the Herb Smith All-Stars or jazz trombonist Wyliecliff Gordon will be jamming along in the orchestra pit.
While Hollywood tended to turn Black characters into demeaning caricatures, silent-film classics such as Body and Soul by premier Black filmmaker Oscar Micheaux strove to tell the true story of Black life in a segregated nation.
It has left few surviving films from a flourishing period in Black cinematography. Starting Saturday, seven of the survivors will be screened at the George Eastman House's Dryden Theater in celebration of Black History Month.
ROCHESTER, N.Y. — Most of the scenes in A Black Sherlock Holmes, a silent-film farce made mainly for Black audiences in 1918, are obscured by a psychedelic collage of swirls, flashes and bubbles of light.
The Associated Press
In the 1920s, especially in Chicago, Black filmmakers churned out showstring-budget silent films with mostly Black casts, some featuring stars like Josephine Baker or Paul Robeson, and live jazz accompaniment led by Louis Armstrong or Fats Waller.
The culprit: nitric acid, a volatile ingredient in movies made before 1951 that corrodes rapidly when exposed to warmth or moistness for years on end.

One of Dale Earnhardt's favorite phrases after a wreck was "That's racin'."
What seemed to be a routine crash Sunday claimed the life of America's last folk hero and shocked an entire nation of sports.
Loss ends first-place hope
While spending Sunday afternoon at a sports bar, I heard many NASCAR enthusiasts utter phrases such as "Watch out for Earnhardt" after rookie Burt Busch tried to gain ground on his black and red car. Even at the age of 49, Earnhardt was still the most feared and respected driver in the circuit.
People need heroes in life, but the sports page is not the ideal place to look for such figures these days. Dale Earnhardt has been one of my heroes since 1997, the year I began closely following the NASCAR circuit. So you are probably going to ask, how did a Boston teenager who can't even change a tire become a dedicated fan of motorsports' most visible personality? Blame Brooks & Dunn and Jeff Gordon.
Feared on the track and respected off it, that is. If you took a survey of NASCAR drivers asking them to name the one driver they wouldn't want to see in their mirror at the end of the race, the consensus would be Dale Earnhardt.
Earnhardt's aggressive style on the track made it exciting to watch the sport because I never knew what was going to happen next. Because of my admiration for his aggressive racing style and off-track humor, I always tried to think of what he would do in certain situations. His ever-present optimism inspired several of my own causes.
The first time I saw Dale Earnhardt was in a music video with one of my favorite entertainers, Brooks & Dunn. After learning more about his career and the NASCAR circuit, I decided that I was going to cheer for Earnhardt's No. 3 Chevrolet because he was the sentimental underdog to Gordon, who was dominating races at the time.
Take pennardt's contribution to the sport of NASCAR was immeasurable and his legacy will continue to be a large part of the circuit's future.
Sudhafter is an Overland Park junior in journalism.
I remember meeting with my Spanish professor during my sophomore year and hearing him tell me that I had a C in the course with two weeks left. My mindset immediately went to a racetrack situation: Earnhardt is riding outside of the top 10 and he needs the victory to stay on pace with Jeff Gordon in the standings. What would he do? Because I knew that he would push his hardest to win the race, it inspired me to win "my race" and eke out a B in the class.
Perhaps the post-race of the Daytona 500 that year had a more profound effect on me. All of the fellow drivers and crew members lined up to shake hands with Earnhardt, a scene unprecedented in the world of NASCAR. That showed the respect many of these competitors had for an individual who took the sport's popularity outside of a limited market in the deep south to a national audience.
The irony of Sunday's accident was that it appeared as though Earnhardt wanted his son, Dale Jr., or his company's new driver, Michael Waltrip, to win the race. Earnhardt believed in who may not have had the most success in the past. Case in point: Waltrip had never won a Winston Cup race in 400-plus tries before he won Sunday's race.
I can vividly remember where I was and what I was doing during many of No. 3's triumphs. In February 1998, I watched the Daytona 500 with a friend in my Massachusetts home. After Earnhardt won the race that had escaped him for many seasons, I was lucky that my neighbors did not file noise violations with local authorities. I probably also alienated my roommate during many NASCAR races with my fervent race-day emotions.
So now the NASCAR and the sports community in general are coping with the tragedy and trying to decide how they will move on. First of all, there should be a movement to rename the Daytona International Speedway the Dale Earnhardt Speedway. The seven-time Winston Cup Champion won 34 races at the track and many race fans affectionately referred to the track as 'Daletona.' The circuit should continue next week at Rockingham, N.C., because the legend would have wanted it that way.

They're not happy about it, but the No. 11 Kansas Jayhawks are playing for two.
Not in the sense of trying to work the ball inside and get a lay-in for two points. No, they're playing for second place.
The Jayhawks started 6-0 in the Big 12 Conference but have since lost four of their last six games and now trail Iowa State by two games. Iowa State also holds the tiebreaker because they won both games against Kansas this season.
The sixth-ranked Cyclones (22-3 overall and 10-2 in the Big 12) beat Kansas (19-5 and 8-4) for the fifth straight time on Saturday and all but assured themselves of repeating as conference champs.
Kansas coach Roy Williams said the title race was now Iowa State's to lose.
"I don't think anybody's in it except Iowa State," Williams said. "They've really got to stumble. If they take care of their own business, everybody else is playing for second. That's hard for us to say because we don't ever speak in terms of playing for second."
The Cyclones' remaining Big 12 games are against Texas, Kansas State, Texas Tech and Nebraska, making three losses unlikely.
Kansas junior guard Jeff Boschee said that was cause for Kansas to concede the title.
"You can't predict the future, but if things go the way they should, they've got a tough game at Texas," Boschee said. "But Texas isn't playing its best basketball right now either, so hopefully something does happen. But it seems like we're just playing for second right now."
Three weeks ago, Kansas was ranked No. 3 in the country with a 17-1 record. The 'Hawks walked with a bounce in their steps. They had a 10-game winning streak and a killer instinct.
Now, slow starts and comebacks that fell short are the norm, and that has sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich worried. He said the team played hard at times but not always, and that left him concerned heading into tomorrow's game against Colorado (15-11 and 5-8). Specifically, he's doubting his team's heart.
"We were fighting, but I don't know what that says," Hinrich said after Saturday's loss. "People with heart don't show
heart one game but not another game. They show it all year consistently.
"I just hope that we can finish off the season strong. We can play well in the Big 12 Tournament and get a good seed. Right now that's all we're looking at.
Kansas is also looking at a depleted bench, thanks to the departure of freshman Mario Kinsey for academic reasons
the frontcourt replacements.
and senior swingman Luke Axtell because of an ailing back. Sophomore forward Drew Gooden is still recovering from a sprained wrist and is questionable for the Colorado game.
Those losses have junior guard Brett Ballard, a former walk-on, as the first guard option off the bench and forwards Jeff Carey, a junior, and Bryant Nash, a freshman, as
"We don't know when we're going to get Drew back, so we've got to have guys step up, and hopefully it will make us better in the long run," Ballard said. "We can work our butts off all we want, but if you don't have guys step up and make plays, we're not going to win games. If we have some guys step up, then we'll be fine."

Kansas ready for Rockhurst in home opener
By Ryan Malashock sports@kansan.com Kansan swimmer
After opening the season with seventraight road games, the team plays host to Rockhurst in its home opener at
The Kansas baseball team is back where it loves to be — home sweet home.
3 p.m. today at Hoglund Ballpark.
The Jayhawks (6-1) are returning from three games at the Round Rock Classic in Texas and four games at the Rawlings Invitational in Phoenix.
Randall: baseball team can't look past Rockhurst
Sophomore second baseman Casey Spanish said the team was ready to kick off the season at home
KJ
Kansas' home schedule includes series against Big 12 Conference powerhouses Nebraska, Baylor, Texas and Oklahoma State, and single games against Wichita State and Creighton.
"We're going to be an exciting team this year, and I hope the fans come out and see us." Spanish said.
Junior Jeff Davis makes his first start of the season today against Rockhurst. The Lawrence native was 4-3 with a 7.32 ERA in 55 1/3 innings last season.
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said today's game and other midweek games would serve as great experiences for pitchers and players needing to polish their skills.
"There's some guys that we're counting on like Dan Stucky, Matt Van Alsburg and Kevin Farmer, who haven't played as much as I would've liked.
The e games give us a chance to get some guys on track," Rand al said.
KANSAS (6-1) VS.
ROCKHURST (0-0)
■ When: 3 p.m. today
■ Where: Hoglund Ballpark
Randall said he would like to keep Davis' pitch count to a minimum today to save his arm for the weekend series against Oklahoma. Randall wants to get senior Eric Thompson and junior Grant Williams some key innings out of the bullpen today, as well.
Rockhurst opens its season in today's matchup with Kansas, but Randall said the Jayhawks can't afford to look past the Division II Hawks.
"We've got to keep our focus, play hard and execute against Rockhurst, or else we'll be in trouble," Randall said. "We need to play the game, not our opponent."

'Hawks fall short in Big 12 title race

Kansan sportswriter
Even with an emotionally charged victory against No. 6 Iowa State on Saturday, the women's basketball team (10-14 overall, 4-10 in the Big 12 Conference) are left to wallow in the shadow of conference leaders during the final two weeks of the regular season.
This leaves them noticeably absent from the Big 12 Conference title race.
No. 10 Oklahoma (21-4 and 12-1) holds a two-game lead against Iowa State (20-4 and 10-3), No. 14 Texas Tech (19-5 and 10-3) and No. 16 Colorado (19-5 and 10-3) — a team nobody really expected to be in the conference title hunt this late in the season.
The margin separating these teams is slim, and, with the Big 12 arguably the toughest conference in the country, all four could be considered legitimate contenders in the NCAA tournament this March.
The Jayhawks have played against all four teams this season. They were blown out by Iowa State 67-48 in Ames, Iowa, on Jan. 10, but rebounded with a 69-61 victory against the Cyclones on Saturday.
The Jayhawks dropped two games to Colorado earlier in the year, while Oklahoma pounded Kansas at home 88-64 on Jan. 24, and Texas tech narrowly escaped Allen Fieldhouse with a 49-45 victory Wednesday.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said Oklahoma posed the toughest challenge for Big 12 teams.
Iowa State coach Bill Fennelly has no problem labeling Oklahoma the conference's top team, even though the Cyclones beat the Sooners 81-79 in Norman, Okla., on Jan. 6.
"I would say they've earned their position right now, and they deserve a lot of credit," Washington said.
"Right now they're the best team in the Big 12. They've proven that over time," Fennelly said. "They're a tough team to guard. They can score a lot of points, and I think that's what makes them so good."
Iowa State is the only Big 12 team that has found success against Oklahoma, Fennelly said the secret was to attack the Sooners with offense. Oklahoma leads the Big 12 at 83.9 points per game. He said to beat the Sooners, teams had to match them offensively.
"You've got to find a way to
Washington said it was tough to compare teams in the Big 12 because they all had distinct styles.
outscore them," Fennelly said. "You have to have an offensive night. We scored 81 on them in their building when we beat them. I think that's the key. You've got to get into a game where you know you're going to score a lot of points."
"They're just different types of ball clubs," Washington said. "There's no one quite like Iowa State in the conference, and besides Texas, I don't know who has as many athletes as Texas Tech."
Iowa State was widely regarded as the Big 12's premiere team heading to conference play, and the Cyclones found early success, jumping to a 10-1 record. But after losing to Colorado and Kansas last week, the Cyclones no longer control their own destiny and may have to settle for second place in the Big 12.
Senior Angle Welle, who scored 20 points in the loss to Kansas, isn't sure what's wrong with the Cyclones, but said it was not time to start worrying yet.
I don't think there's any reason to panic." Welle said. "Something's just not clicking when we're out there. I don't know what it is."

Fifteen area people, including three University of Kansas students, are a step closer to living their lives on national television after auditions held in Lawrence for MTV's The Real World.
Almost 1,000 hopefuls auditioned for The Real World when casting directors came to town Feb. 10. The vast majority of applicants left empty-handed, but 15 progressed to the next round of the nationwide search for seven people to live
together on camera for five months
J. D. Boyle, Cleveland junior, said he was asked to stick around for a while after a group interview and was told to complete a 15-page application. The casting agency, Bunim/Murray Productions, called him Feb. 14 to tell him he had made the cut.
The selected applicants also must submit a 10-minute video of themselves. Boyle said his plan was "to lock myself in a room and do it over and over again 'til I am happy with one of them."
M. S. H. S. M. S.
"I thought there'd be no chance I'd make it this far," he said. "I don't think I'll make it."
Despite Boyle's meticulous approach, he said he wasn't optimistic — the casting agency would receive about 50,000 video applicants. Boyle and other casting call selectees are already in the next round, unlike most who submit videos, but Boyle said he didn't have high expectations.
Boyle: isn't conflent he'll make it to the next round
Garcia: says picked because of down-to-earth approach
Kawa: says she's not stereotypical, innocent girl
Ashleigh Garcia, Stillwell junior and Kansan staff member, said she didn't get tapped on the shoulder like Boyle, so she was surprised when she received an email asking for paperwork and a video submission.
Garcia said she was probably picked for her down-to-earth approach.

Muffy Kawa, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, also chosen for the next round, said she had a positive attitude.
"I think I have a pretty good chance because they probably don't get too many people from the Midwest," Kawa said.
She said in her video that she would be an asset to the show because she couldn't be pigeonholed.
"I'm from the Midwest, but I'm not the stereotypical, innocent girl." she said.
Bunim/Murray Productions would not reveal the 15 names because of a privacy clause.
Students to pay for fire damage

A lamp left on overnight Saturday has left nine University of Kansas students temporarily homeless and facing potential financial and legal complications.
The iridescent, free-standing lamp fell and landed on a couch in apartment 2115 of the Quail Creek complex at 2111 Kasold Drive, igniting after several hours, said Rob Cort, battalion chief for Lawrence-Douglas County Fire & Medical.
A firefighter, who noticed the fire on his way to work Sunday morning, called 911 and then knocked on the apartment doors and got the residents out. The fire had already spread to apartments 2113 and 2117, causing severe damage. Apartment 2119 suffered minimal smoke damage. None of the residents were injured.
Physical harm, however, may be the only consequence the residents escaped. They lost all their personal possessions, including books and clothing.
"They pretty much got out with what was on their books." Cort said.
Because the fire resulted from negligence, paying damages to the apartment complex may be another issue the students have to tackle.
Michele Kessler, assistant director at Legal Services for Students, said renters' insurance would cover all damages if residents had it.
"It's like car insurance," Kessler said. "They turn the deal over to their insurance company and let them fight with the complex's insurance."
Kessler said all major insurance companies offered renters' insurance to students.
"That policy will cover all the contents of the apartment, as well as damages caused by the residents' negligence." she said.
Kessler said if residents caused damage to property and did not have insurance, the complex could and probably would sue for damages.
It is unknown whether the students displaced by Sunday's fire have renters' insurance. The students could not be reached for comment.
Bob Carlson, insurance agent with State Farm Insurance, 2201 W.25th St., said students who were dependents of their parents may qualify under their parents' homeowners' insurance
"If they're not dependents and they don't
have a tenants' homeowner policy, they've left themselves wide open," he said.
Carlson said the best thing students could do was check with their home agent and confirm that they were covered by their parents' policy.
Stephanie Jackson, volunteer coordinator for the Lawrence Red Cross, said the residents had been offered space in other apartments in the complex. The Red Cross also saw to the students' immediate needs and put the students up in hotels.
Leah Kraft, Overland Park junior and girlfriend of one of the residents, said the students were looking for another apartment.
Quail Creek apartment complex declined to comment.

Meth's destructive mind games
story and photos by phil cauthon kansan senior staff writer
In most ways, it was an unremarkable night in August. But because he took meth, it's one night 21-year-old John will never forget.
The summer weather in Lawrence was exhilarating, and he'd been drinking off and on since evening. It was 5 a.m., and John was sitting on a friend of a friend's couch in Topeka. Not by coincidence, the friend of a friend was a doe dealer. And his drug of choice — methamphetamine.
It was evident the dealer had money, but his house was a wreck. The only decor was racks of pistols, rifles and shotguns. The dealer stationed himself in front of a coffee table accessorized with another handgun, heaping ashtrays, Budweiser cans and a decorative glass bong which would be passed around a dozen or so times in the next 10 hours. Although John had never encountered this particular drug before, he

took his turn without hesitation.
"The best way I can describe meth is like souped-up Ritalin that makes your alertness really high. Your brain thrives off an negative
The dealer's attention snapped compulsively between his guests and his sentry through the blinds. A frail man — little more than a heap of bones slouched in the corner — giggled incessantly in between his rhymes. "Fifteen days, crystal crank cain't sleep, fifteen days, man no body seen. To be he—"
houghts to the point that you actually see things. I saw people I thought would kill me, aliens, a SWAT team. I thought the house was buurped."
The room's nervous inactivity was continually interrupted by customers like the 50-something wretch who crept in the room asking about a gram. The dealer retrieved a baggie from a back room. "One-twenty."
The customer frowned, recounting her $100 worth of small bills. Then, with something less than a gram in hand, she flashed a wild smile of sparse teeth and blurred out the door.
The nightmare would last until dawn, though John wouldn't sleep for another day.
A year later, John still frequently thinks about his' night on meth. He's come to the conclusion that meth is one drug that should definitely be outlawed. "And that's coming from a guy who likes to do a lot of drugs," he said.
Still, he did meth again. He hopes that second time will be his last. But he can't
say for sure.
That's the typical beginnings of meth addiction, according to Eric Voth, a physician specializing in Addiction Medicine at Stormont-Vail HealthCare in Topeka.
Even while the user's experience on meth may be horrific, Voth said the drug quickly lures the body into addiction by dramatically altering the brain's chemistry. Essentially, meth tricks the brain into thinking it needs the drug to function normally.
"Meth really does cause an element of true brain damage," said Voth, who has regularly advised the Reagan, Bush and Clinton administrations on drug-related issues. "People who use it every month have trouble with basic brain function — memory, personality, and attention — and it can cause chronic psychosis."

Former resident director accused of bending rules

Kansan staff writer
Two former Naismith Hall resident assistants came forward yesterday with allegations against Hugo Vera, the resident director of Naismith Hall who was fired Feb. 12.
Lauren Cuchna, Downers Grove, Ill., junior, and Sandi Sandib, Overland Park resident and former University of Kansas student, accused Vera of not following official policies and procedures in disciplining residents, even when alcohol and drug offenses were involved, and of using his power arbitrarily in dealing with staff members.
Cuchna said that, according to College Park Community rules, staff members were supposed to terminate the leases of residents that had three alcohol offenses or call the police on residents who were suspected of drug use.

The two former RAs said that, instead of following standard procedure with residents, Vera signed personal contracts with them, in which the residents promised they would not repeat their offenses.
Vera said that his supervisor, Jason Olds, property manager of Naismith Hall, was aware of Vera's contractual agreements with the residents.
Vera responded to allegations by saying he followed a more lenient policy with residents, hoping to help them and teach them a lesson.

Vera also denied drinking with residents, having any knowledge of hard drug use in the building or allowing residents to stay after three alcohol offences.

would threaten termination of RAs merely for disagreeing with an idea of his," Sandborn said.
Cuchna added that Vera would make up his own rules in dealing with hall issues, rules not included in the official manuals. She also said that Vera would leave the disciplinary role up to the RAs, choosing to be a friend to residents rather than an authority figure.
"As a resident director, I felt I had to make decisions best for the dorm as a whole," Vera said. "Each dorm is different, and you have to base your rules on the dynamics of the dorm."

Group to have session on internships abroad
Students interested in international paid internships will have a chance to learn more opportunities and fill out applications during AIESEC information sessions at 7:30 p.m. today and tomorrow at 413 Summerfield.
AIESEC is a student organization that provides paid internships abroad.
AIESEC internships give students the opportunity to work abroad for a summer or up to a year and a half. Internships are available in accounting, marketing, teaching and other fields in more than 80 countries.
Language proficiency is not required, but students with knowledge of a foreign language may choose to work in a region where that language is spoken.
"It gives students a chance to cheaply go abroad and gain experience towards a résumé," said Chrissy Bowers, Emporia junior and AIESEC member.
Bowers said there were AIESEC groups in every place students may go, which helped to make the transition process to another country and culture easier.

Former sheriff sues state attorney general
Meneley's lawsuits seek more than $200,000 in damages.
TOPEKA — Former Shawnee County Sheriff Dave Meneley has sued Kansas Attorney General Carla Stovall, claiming she maliciously prosecuted him.
Mary Tritsch, representative for the attorney general's office, said Monday that Stovall declined to comment on the lawsuit.
The lawsuit contends Stovall isn't entitled to immunity because she was a complaining witness, an investigator and her actions were administrative, not prosecutorial in the Meneley ouster case.
Stowall filed a civil ouster action against Meneley on May 24, 1999, alleging 13 counts of willful misconduct in office or violations of "moral turpitude."
Five counts linked to use of a restricted computer database for nonlaw enforcement purposes were dismissed before the ouster trial ended.
Possible gas leak cause found in Hutchinson
HUTCHINSON — Drilling crews have established 12 deep wells that are burning or venting natural gas from
beneath Hutchinson where gas explosions killed two people and destroyed part of downtown.
Crews hit natural gas at four more sites Monday, though one site where gas was expected to be found came up drv.
Also on Monday, a Kansas Gas service official confirmed gas and water were discovered leaking more than a week ago from an old brine well south and east of the Yaggy gas storage field.
Records on file with the Kansas Department of Health and Environment indicate drilling crews struck a metal object inside the pipe casing of a salt cavern while trying to reopen it in 1992.
Attempts to drill out the object might have damaged the casing, possibly leading to the catastrophic leak of gas from the cavern that is believed to be the cause of Hutchinson's natural gas crisis.

Analysis deems some U.S. bridges "deficient"
WASHINGTON An Associated Press computer analysis of Federal Highway Administration records found 167,993 of 587,755 bridges, or 29 percent, were rated by the government as "deficient" as of Aug. 31, 2000.
That's a slight improvement from four years earlier when 31 percent of bridges were deemed deficient, defined as structures that either require repairs or are too narrow or weak to handle the traffic that must use the bridges.
"What you're seeing is even though we've had increased funding recently, they're still playing catch-up ball," said Stephen Hayes, a representative for AAA, the motorist and travel organization. "We're still seeing the transportation infrastructure continue to deteriorate."
Man takes privacy case to U.S. Supreme Court
WASHINGTON — An Oregon man says narcotics agents invaded his privacy and trampled on his Fourth Amendment rights when they used a device to detect excessive heat coming from his house — without a search warrant.
The "thermal imager," a camera-like device that depicts infrared radiation, gave law enforcement officials a piece of evidence that led to a search warrant for Danny Lee Kyilo's home in Florence, Ore. Inside, agents found drug paraphernalia and more than 100 marijuana plants, and arrested him.
Kyllo has appealed his case to the Supreme Court, which yesterday was
considering whether law enforcement officials violated a constitutional ban on unreasonable searches when they used the heat-sensing device. The nine-year-old case pits technology against personal privacy.
Bush's plan questioned for religious bias
WASHINGTON — President Bush's plan to allow churches, synagogues and other religious bodies to compete for government money is drawing quiet objections from religious groups that are among the biggest providers of social services.
While not opposing Bush's initiative outright, Lutheran, Catholic and Jewish groups are raising concerns about potential religious discrimination and coercion, echoing arguments from civil libertarian quarters.
"We believe basically in that separation in church and state," said Joanne Negstad, president of Lutheran Services in America, an umbrella organization for 280 groups.
The White House Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives opened yesterday, and its head, John Dilulio, has been busy meeting with these and other groups, trying to address concerns and build support.
The most vocal opposition to Bush's proposal has come from groups such as Americans United for the Separation of Church and State and the American Civil Liberties Union.
Teen murder suspects captured at truck stop
NEW CASTLE, Ind. — Waiting in the pre-dawn cold at a truck stop, two teen-agers wanted for the murders of two popular Dartmouth College professors were expecting a lift from a truck driver.
Instead, a police officer who overheard a CB radio message from another trucker who said the two teens were looking for a ride to California, arranged for the boys to be driven to the county jail.
"I actually didn't expect it to be them, but I thought it was worth checking out," Sgt. William Ward said Monday.
Ward pretended to be a trucker and radioed the truck driver to drop the teens off at the flying J Plaza on Interstate 70 for a 4 a.m. pickup. Instead of a tractor trailer, two deputies arrived.
James Parker, 16, and Robert Tulloch, 17, were captured before dawn Monday, more than 700 miles from the site of the Hanover, N.H., slavings.
Both face adult charges of two counts of first-degree murder in the Jan. 27 stabbing deaths of professors Half and Susanne Zantop.

Bush hopes trip will build support
The Associated Press
ST. LOUIS — President George W. Bush used campaign-style events in the Midwest yesterday while trying to build support for his education and tax-cut proposals in the closely divided Congress.
Both his multibillion dollar blueprint to help schools that fall behind and his $1.6-trillion, 10-year tax cut have run into substantial opposition, principally but not entirely from Democrats.
Bush said the budget he would submit to Congress next week would earmark $5 billion more for elementary school reading programs during the next five years — as he advocated during his campaign.
"I believe we can do a better job of teaching children to read."
Later in the day, Bush promoted his tax cut plan at a civic center in the St. Louis suburb of Kirkwood.
he said at the Moline Elementary School here.
Bush's two-day trip — his first as president to promote his top domestic priorities — resembled a campaign swing, including language from last year's stump speeches. It was an effort "to take his agenda to the country," said representative Ari Fleischer.
"Accountability is critically important to meet the goal that no child should be left behind," Bush told his St. Louis audience.
Bush toured reading classes in both Ohio and Missouri with his wife Laura, a former public school teacher and librarian, to promote his education plan that
would consolidate dozens of programs into five general grant categories, test students annually in order to hold schools accountable for how much they learn, and award children vouchers that would allow them to attend private schools in some cases.
Fleischer said Bush's budget for fiscal 2002 would include $900 million for programs that help children through third grade learn to read — a threefold increase from current spending. Some of the money would be used for retraining teachers.
In all, Bush has proposed spending $47.5 billion on education during the next decade.
Liberal Democrats in the House have proposed a $110 billion increase in federal spending on public schools in the next five years to rival Bush's proposal.

Bathroom target of vandals' wrath
105
Vandals attacked Ellsworth Hall's sixth-floor men's restroom leaving residents with one usable shower. Other problems reported were urinals stopped up with beer cans, beer bottles cluttering the showers, and a missing soap dispenser. Photo illustration by J.E. Wilson/KANSAN

As far as Richard Stephens is concerned, the men's bathroom on Ellsworth Hall's sixth floor is a pit.
"It was what you would consider a bathroom when we first got here, but it's slowly become more of an animal pen," the Sterling sophomore said. "It got to the point that some of us wouldn't have minded if our bathroom was locked up and condemned."
According to Stephens, the bathroom has undergone numerous attacks of vandalism during the course of the year, making it barely usable.
He said the vandalism started simply enough, with a tee-peeling of the facility one night. But soon after, beer bottles began to clutter the showers and beer cans stopped up the urinals. A soap dispenser was ripped out of the wall, and bathroom stall doors were ripped from their hinges. However, all these events were just minor annoyances compared to the bath-
"Three of the showers had their rods ripped down." Stephens said. "So we were down to just one shower with a curtain."
room's most recent injustice.
The floor received new shower rods last Friday and curtains on Monday, which, so far, are still intact.
But even before the sacking of the shower rods and curtains, the sixth-floor men had showering difficulties. Stephens said some mornings the shower heads would be smeared with heavy layers of soap so no water would come out of them.
"People started going to other bathrooms," Stephens said. "I only used other floors if necessary, instead I'd purposely wake up early so I knew I'd get to use the one shower."
Phil Garito, associate director for maintenance, said while the events on the sixth floor Ellsworth weren't the norm, vandalism was something to be expected while using community facilities.
"In the time I've been here, we've had bathrooms vandalized," Garito
said. "But I don't think this is any different than what we've seen in the past."
Garito said maintenance would fix the problem as soon as they were able, but sometimes, as in the case of the shower rods, residents could be left with damaged equipment for extended periods because of supply problems.
"It can take some time to get the parts if they are not readily available," Garito said. "But we fix it as soon as possible, if not for the students then because if you get that rundown look, then it kind of feeds on it and it gets worse."
And while the bathroom on the sixth floor of Ellsworth was intact yesterday, Stephens said he and the 30 men on his floor still had a bone to pick with the vandals.
"We think it's people from another floor and people who don't live here anymore." Stephens said. "They destroy it because it's not theirs and they should pay for it because the general consensus was that it really sucked having no bathroom."

Policy makes exceptions
New admission guidelines can be disregarded for some
By Cassio Furtado
writer @kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
While the University's qualified admissions policy has many high-school seniors worried, it will be waived for some.
The Kansas Board of Regents allows the University to admit as many as 10 percent of students who don't meet any of the three new criteria, which take effect in the Fall 2001 semester.
Under the new policy, prospective students are required to have a 2.0 grade point average, graduate in the top third of their high school class, or score a 21 on their ACT to be admitted to the University.
Lisa Pinamonti, associate director for recruitment who has been recruiting students for next year's freshman class since June, said the University looked to students' applications on a case-by-case basis and would decide whether to admit the full 10 percent.
The University is also allowed to admit students on a conditional basis after their applications have been reviewed by a board.
Alan Cerveny, director of admissions, said the new policy caused many questions from high school students and counselors.
Those students need to complete 24 hours with a 2.0 grade point average in their first school year to unconditionally admitted to the University.
"It has added some impact in the recruiting program," he said. "But I think we have done a good job in Kansas on how to prepare for KU."
David Burge, assistant director of admissions, said the new admissions policy would help students to plan strategically and to prepare for the University.
Burge said the University encouraged incoming students to retake tests, to use online exams and to start coursework at community colleges.
"We are really pushing the options," Burge said.
Cerveny said the new admissions policy also would boost students' grade point averages and overall quality because of the higher standards.
But he added even with the institution of the new admission standards, the University was still less stringent than other institutions.
"Kansas was the last state to move away from open admissions," he said.
Out-of-state students have always had qualified admission standards.
Joyce Hall, a counselor at F.L. Schlagle High School in Kansas City, Kan., said some of the school's students got scared when they learned about the new admissions policy.
Hall said about 10 students from Schiagle usually enrolled at the University every year and she didn't think that would change.
They've still applying. Cerveny said the University admitted 80 percent of the students who applied last year; 40 percent of them enrolled.

Housing limit approved more regulations discussed
By Erin Adamson

Kanser staff writer
Future regulations for rental housing in single family neighborhoods are still up in the air in Lawrence.
The City Commission began discussion of two new housing ordinances last night that would require landlords to license their properties and have no more than three unrelated people per residence renting from them at the end of a three-year period.
Two weeks ago the commission voted to adopt a three-person limit for unrelated people living in residences in neighborhoods zoned for single families.
The commission voted last night for the second and final time to adopt the three-person limit and require landlords to register renters in those neighborhoods by Friday, June 1 2001. By state law, commissioners must vote on an ordinance twice before it becomes law to allow time
for public comment.
David Corliss, assistant city manager, said discussion of the newest ordinances was difficult because the commission had to decide what type of inspections should be required of rental properties, and whether only single-family neighborhoods should be inspected.
Currently, rental properties are only inspected if someone complains to the building inspector. All the commissioners agreed any new licensing ordinance should require all rentals to be inspected periodically, possibly once every three years.
Commissioner Marty Kennedy said he would not be comfortable moving forward with a licensing ordinance until city staff could show the city could afford the cost of more inspectors and additional administrative costs.
The commission will look at these two ordinances again on Tuesday, March 13.

The Lawrence housing ordinance
Point/Counterpoint
Our view: Even in a more moderate form, ordinance is discriminatory and could inflate housing prices
The housing ordinance that now appears likely to be adopted soon by the Lawrence City Commission is anti-student, discriminatory legislation.
Although the version passed by the commission Feb. 13 was not as severe as earlier forms, it still limits the number of unrelated people who can live together in single-family neighborhoods to three.
Mayor's view: Rules would allow families to reclaim their neighborhoods while still giving students space
by restricting further the number of unrelated people who can live together; the city limits possible community involvement of students and other diverse groups. Rather than trying to improve relationships between the city and its inhabitants, the city commission and Lawrence Association of Neighborhoods are attempting to segregate students and other groups from "traditional" families.
This can only inhibit students' desire to give back to the community. It may also result in increased traffic, parking congestion and limited housing availability and affordability for the entire community, according to a Student Senate study.
"assure[s] equal opportunity for all persons within this city in housing, without distinction on account of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, age, ancestry, familial status, sexual orientation or disability."
The city commission assumes that students, mixed families, gays and lesbians, the elderly and all nontraditional families who choose to rent a home in a single-family neighborhood are a destructive or disruptive force. It questions the commitment of these groups to Lawrence based on their relationship to the people they live with. It makes similar discriminatory assumptions about the land owners who have rental property in these areas by accusing them of just trying to make a buck while ignoring concerns of the neighborhood.
People may choose to live in family neighborhoods because they want to take part in the community in a way that they are unable to do, or unhappy trying to do, elsewhere. Similarly, many landowners are trying to generate an income by providing clean, well-kept homes to responsible renters regardless of the renters' relationships.
The city is cultivating neighborhoods that exclude specific groups. This contradicts the city's nondiscrimination policy, which
ation of thesis Rather than pointing fingers at what it considers to be problem groups, the commission should consider more com plex issues, such as suburban construction that discourages families from living in older neighborhoods.

The city will only alienate one of its best assets. The University is a major employer. According to the Office of Institutional Reseach
tional Research and Planning, students annually contribute $156 million to the Lawrence e
million to the Lawrence economy. Most group houses in Lawrence are not disruptive party houses. The city already has more effective ways to deal with those that are, such as notice and litter ordinances.
the commission is sending the message that it is so resentful of students that it is willing to limit their presence, regardless of whether they pose a problem.

affordable homes, being priced out of the market. They also believed that the increasing number of homes being rented to unrelated persons had resulted in a decline of students enrolled in neighborhood schools, notably Centennial and Schwegler elementary schools.
Peripheral issues such as the number of cars parked on the street or in yards, the accumulation of excess trash and physical neglect of property also were expressed as concerns. I believe that there are sufficient other city ordinances to address these concerns.
However, I think that the current ordinance, which evidently was adopted about 1965, has changed the character of single-family zoned neighborhoods because of the increasing number of homes being converted into rental units. This is a trend that needs to be reversed.
My support for a change in single-family zoned neighborhoods from not more than four to not more than three persons not related by blood or marriage is different from the change that the neighborhood residents requested (four unrelated to two unrelated people). Whether it will have the desired effect of making affordable housing available to young families with children and repopulating the schools remains to be seen.
It is important to remember that this ordinance amends the definition of family only in single-family districts. As the proposed ordinance said, these districts "are designed for those areas where the land is presently being used, or where development appears desirable, for single-family dwellings." It does not affect the number of unrelated persons who can reside in units in duplex residential districts, multiplefamily residence districts or residence-dormitory districts. That number remains at a maximum of four.

Perspective
Free for All attempts to reflect all opinions
My guess is that when you flip to the opinion page every Wednesday, my column is not the first thing you read if you read it at all.
I have an opinion on the Free for All. It's hilarious. And it's a soapbox for chickens.
Instead, I'm guessing your eyes drift a few inches to the right to read the Free for All — the Kansan feature many students claim as their favorite.
There it is, every day: a blank, looming column where people who fear having their names associated with their opinions can say exactly what they think.
And people "think" a lot.
On an average day, the
Free for All receives at
least 100 messages, said
Chris Borniger, opinion
editor. That explains the
occasional message: "Why
do my comments never
make the Free for All?"

printed because they are libelous or standerous. Or just plain dirty.
Join the club.
Only you canes can't be
derives of a phrase.
"We try to print the most tasteful ones," said Nathan Willis, associate opinion editor.
And then there are the post-basketball game Free for Alls. On those days there are upwards of 200 messages called in — what that says about our society is a column for another day — and comments about Eric Chenowith abound.
Furthermore, when people call in and make factual statements the Kansan can't support or verify, those statements don't make the paper.
He's the No. 1 person targeted by Free for All comments, Bornier said.
"Hands down," he added. "It's gotten to the point where even I feel sorry for the guy."
So why do we keep printing the comments? Because comments about Chenowith make up nearly one-third of the comments called in to the Free for All.
"If Chenowith is such a big topic of discussion amongst a third of the students that are calling in, it would be a mistake to leave them out," Borniger said. "Even if I don't personal feel it's as newsworthy of a topic as City Commission or potholes or something like that. The purpose of the Free for All is to reflect what students are talking about."
So Free for All is here to stay — good luck getting your voice heard.
I stand by my claim that the Free for All is an outlet for people who lack the nerve to put their name on what they say. I also have a sneaking suspicion that many of the comments left on the Free for All answering machine are byproducts of the overconsumption of alcohol or deprivation of sleep. I mean, really — if I picked up the Kansan and read Free for All for the first time, I would assume the majority of KU students were on crack.
Schultes is a Rolfe, Iowa, sophomore in journalism and religious studies.
But Borniger hit the nail on the head. The Free for All has its place and is an asset to the Kansan. It's a place where we get honest feedback. Sometimes that feedback is trivial, and other times it touches on important topics that lead to important stories.
It also keeps us in check here at the Kansan. If we screw up, we'll be sure to read about it on page 4A of the next day's paper!

Compelling need for campus safety justifies charging more student fees
As a member of both the Campus Safety Advisory Board and the Campus Fee Review Committee, I must take issue with the way J.D. Jenkins, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences senator, characterized both the safety Tee and the debate which led to its passage ("Student Senate should leave safety to the experts," Feb. 14). First, the University already invests in our safety. The University helps finance the Office of Public Safety, which in turn polices campus and works very hard to prevent crime by promoting safe practices among students. Moreover, for the last several years, the University has matched student fees to help install new lights on campus.
Although the University already pays for these services, there is still a compelling need for the student fee. When students demonstrate a commitment to safety (by, for example, paying a small $2 fee), our needs become more important to the University. Student money gives students a louder voice on the safety issue and allows us to make our goals and priorities a reality. With student input and money, important safety programs and technology will be implemented more quickly. Second, Jenkins suggests that the money is going to be spent on "such absurd uses ... as fire alarms ... card scaners ... and 'safety fact sheets.'" It is true that these are ideas are under consideration by the Office of Public Safety, but the Campus Safety Advisory Board has made no commitment to fund these suggestions. The money probably will be used to continue lighting dark areas of campus and installing blue phones where they are most needed (for example, the basement stacks in Watson
By the beginning of next school year, you will find new lighting and blue phones in some parking lots, including the infamous "rape lot" near GSP-Corbin residence halls. The improvements we have already approved are substantial
Still, this board exists to respond to student safety needs. Therefore, we need you to tell us what your concerns are. I encourage you write a letter to our board, email me (ajobley@ukans.edu), or call and express your safety concerns in the Free for All.
Finally, to characterize our presentation of the fee as a scare tactic is patently false. We presented the fee as a falsely responsible proposal which provides for improve-
caily responsible proposal which provides for improvements in campus safety with student input. For Jenkins to suggest that the overwhelming majority we received was the result of scare tactics is to insult the intelligence of every senator who carefully weighed the arguments and made a decision based on the best public policy.

Atheist, agnostic group isn't alone in fostering philosophical forums
In the news feature on the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics ("Atheist, agnostic group hopes to boost campus profile," Feb. 12). Peter Brabant, co-founder
and president of the organization remarks that his organization is the first of its kind on the campus of the University of Kansas.I feel a need to clarify this observation.
Although the group is a welcome addition to the diversity of religious/philosophical organizations that enrich the University, it is deceptive to imply that the group is the only resource available to secular people on campus
The problems of definition leap to mind: Are Episcopalians and Anglicans members of the same religion, with, presumably, a single religious viewpoint? How about Orthodox and Reform Jews? Does Student Senate think that Islam has more than one viewpoint? There are five churches listed in the Lawrence phone book as "Charismatic." Do their members promote one religious viewpoint or five? Who decides? And on what criteria will they base these decisions?
People interested in contacting the association can call (785) 312-1780 for more information (ask for Matt). All philosophical backgrounds and religious viewpoints are accepted and encouraged.
The association provides a more scholarly, professional forum in which to discuss and investigate issues of concern and interest to it's members. Issues previously debated have been the source of authority in claim-making, the dominance of males in a biological view and the duty of physicians to tell the truth to their patients.
The KU Association for Skepticism and Inquiry was founded several years ago and provides a bivexely forum to discuss atheist and agnostic issues from a secular, ethical and moral standpoint. It is committed to serving the needs and interests of humanists, atheists, agnostics and affiliated people on the Lawrence campus.
After reading this remarkable statement, I reviewed the Campus Crusade for Christ Statement of Faith (at www.campuscrusade.org). Among other things, it affirmed the inerrancy of the Bible, the existence of the Trinity, the virgin birth, a thoroughly Protestant understanding of justification by faith, the existence of heaven and hell, the eventual resurrection of the body and the need to evangelize the world. Is this really expressive of more viewpoints than, say, the Nicene Creed used by the Roman Catholic Church, which, by the way, says some of the same things? Is the Student Senate qualified to judge which religions "encompass more viewpoints"?
I am not convinced that Student Senate should give money to religious groups at all. If it does, it should not attempt to discriminate among them.
Matthew Dunavan
Topeka sophomore and president of KU Association for
Skepticism and Inquiry
Financing campus religious groups creates likelihood of discrimination
So Student Senate is contemplating give money to religious organizations, while specifying that the Senate may not give money to groups that exclusively promote one religion ("Senate might grant money to religious organizations," yesterday). Or, as Katie Bartlett, co-sorpor of the bill, put it. "We might be more likely to fund Campus Crusade for Christ than a Catholic group because Campus Crusade for Christ encompasses more viewpoints."

The KU Public Safety Office will install new in-car cameras in two University police cars by the end of April to assist in daily police work, the office said yesterday.
Cameras assist University officers
By Amanda Bealin
The new cameras, mounted between the patrol cars' sun visors, will mainly be used to record officer-suspect interactions. They activate when the patrol car's overhead lights turn on, and record until an officer manually shuts them off. A

viewing screen is mounted in the camera, allowing officers to zoom in and out on a suspect or scene when needed.
Officer Rose Rozmiarek said the department had been using in-car cameras since 1983.
Each camera weighs less than six pounds and can record up to eight hours of footage per tape.
Rozmiarek said officers wore audio transmitters on their belts that transmitted officer-suspect interaction to the in-car camera. But because of general wear and tear, Rozmiarek said, the transmitters sometimes did not work and the audio did not record.
"We have four cameras in four marked police cars right now," Rozmiarek said. "But we've been having some audio problems with two of them, so we want to upgrade
The videotapes, if not tagged for future use, are recycled after 120 days.
Sgt. Troy Mallen said the videotapes were also used to review polite conduct during in-house training.
Orozmiark said the public safety office would benefit from new cameras, which use Sony Hi-8 tapes. The tapes are higher quality and smaller, which take up less storage space than VHS tapes.
instead of having to worry about writing down everything and turning their attention away from a suspect, they have the videotape to rely on," Mailen said.

Mailen said the new cameras would help officers write more accurate incident reports.

Professor's program aids Amazonians

Bartholomew remembered digging the graves.
Dean, assistant professor of anthropology, was visiting a group of indigenous people in the Amazonian region of Peru during the early 1990s when a cholera epidemic broke out.
PAPUA NEW GUINEA
Dean helped bury the dead, an experience he called eye-opening.
After the experience, Dean and his wife, Michelle McKinley, established the Amazonian Peoples Resources Initiative in 1995.

The organizations works with indigenous communities that range from 40 to 1,100 people. The largest group it assists is the Urina, but McKinley said the organization would help anyone who asked for it as long as they agreed to follow all of the organization's rules.
Since its beginning, the Amazonian Peoples Resources Initiative has started several programs, including a radio program and an annual workshop for men that discusses women's rights, family violence and self-esteem. An agro-forestery program designed to teach farmers to use land more
McKinley said the Amazonian lifestyle was vastly different than in the United States. The communities have no electricity or running water, and they use a barter system instead of money.

Despite cultural differences, she said the area's residents accepted the organization's presence.
"Our hope is to provide an opportunity for people to decide for themselves," he said.
"I thought the reaction in the community that we work with is very favorable," she said. "If there is a resentment it's probably because we don't have any resources."

New artist repels famous persona
The buzz about her work with The Roots helped land her a record deal of her own on the fledgling label Hidden Beach, a division of Sony Music. Although her album was eagerly anticipated within the industry, Scott is still surprised at its success once it hit the streets.
BURBANK, Calif. — It's Grammy week, and Jill Scott is midway through a hectic day when a photographer tries to coax a smile out of the best new artist nominee. A tired, irritated gaze appears instead.
Scott was the original voice on the tune, but was replaced by Badu for bigger sales. That was fine with Scott.
Although she loves the energy that audiences give her, Scott says crisscrossing the country has left her drained.
"It seems like it took on a life of its own and ran," she says, remembering when the album had sold 8,000 copies. "Ah! You have no idea how happy I was about that. Eight-thousand people had my album — that is a lot of people."
By Nekesa Mumbi Moody The Associated Press
At tonight's Grammy Awards ceremony, Scott is to perform with Moby and the Blue Man Group. She has a chance to take home three awards, including the coveted one for best new artist. Her competition in that category is Sisgo, Lybynne, Brad Paisley and Papa Roach.
SO IT WILL
FREEZE OVER?
Scott, who co-wrote the songs on her album, got her start as a poet in the Philadelphia club scene after dropping out of Temple University. She hooked up with the rap group The Roots and penned the hook sung by Erykah Badu on "You Got Me," which earned Badu and the Roots a Grammy last year.

"I'm really hoping for much more balance between this career and my life, because I need to live, I need to be invisible," says Scott.
Now, the album has passed the 1 million mark. Scott's tour dates have been selling out, and she recently snagged a one-month gig as Sting's opening act in May.
The 28-year-old Philadelphia native admits she's still having trouble adjusting to the demands of celebrity since the release of Who Is Jill Scott?, a soulful, poetic debut that has brought her comparisons to contemporaries like Ervkah Badu and jazz greats from the past.
"It's overwhelming. I look at a lot of stars, and I wonder, how do they handle that? I'm not a star," she says. "I don't know how they do all that? I'm take photograph after photograph."

I'll just keep it as is. It's a bit blurry, but the main focus is on the man in the car and the cyclist in the background. The image is black and white.
Will Rodgers is trying to put his life back together after attempting suicide five years ago. Once an engineer and living a plush life, one drug led to another and soon Rodgers was immersed in meth use. Tormented by depression and drug-induced hallucinations, he eventually shot himself in the face. He survived, but was stripped of his eyesight and senses of smell and taste.

Meth's pull more powerful than addicts' will
Continued from page 1A
Voth said there were a number of rea-sons people started taking meth, and consequently meth addicts come in all ages, classes and backgrounds. Women often take meth to lose weight. College students, truck drivers and workaholics take it to ward off sleep. Young party-goers use it to balance sedative drugs. Athletes use it for instant energy. Poor drug addicts choose meth because it packs more bang for the buck. Rural residents can make it themselves when other drugs don't reach their town.
"Whatever the reason they start, though, it grabs ahold of them and there's nothing they can do to escape." Voth said.
As soon as the white powder hits the blood stream, meth grips the central nervous system for hours, amping up the user's heart rate and blood pressure. The stimulantucks up energy and alertness, making the user feel omnipotent.
Meth does its damage by causing the brain to release dopamine, a natural chemical vital to the brain's limbic region, or so-called pleasure center. After repeated use, the brain cannot release the pleasure chemical without meth.
Standard side effects include loss of
apertite, insomnia, paranoia, hallucinations, aggressive behavior, convulsions, itchy skin, acne and lesions.
Voth said that as the brain recovers from the drug's effects - called "tweaking" by addicts - it could experience virtual schizophrenia.

"People undergo extreme depression and sometimes suicidal feelings
Voth: Said meth users came from all backgrounds.
because they are so severely creaky the drug," he said. "It takes a long, long time for the brain to recover, if it's not permanently impaired."
In street form, methamphetamine — a.k.a. crystal, crank, speed, poor man's coke, junk, cridium, ice, tweak, rocket fuel — is sold as a powder or in small chunks that resemble rock candy. It can be eaten, snorted, mixed with water and injected or smoked with tobacco or marijuana.
The amphetamine pharmacopoeia
Less concentrated forms of meth are available over-the-counter and by prescription to achieve the same palette of effects that drives many to use methamphbetamine.
For example, amphetamines are the No.1 drug prescribed for what physicians call attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, with more than 19 million prescriptions filled last year. They are used to
Face to face with a meth user — what to do:
To support their habits, meth users may resort to crimes ranging from burglary to murder. If you encounter an addict, be wary.
1. Know your distance. Closeness can be no-
1. Keep your distance. Closeness can be perceived as threatening.
2. No bright lights. Addicts are already paranoid. If blinded, they may become violent.
3) Slow your speech and lower your voice.
Addicts already hear sounds at a fast pace and high pitch.
4. Slow your movements. This will minimize an addict misinterpreting your actions.
5. Keep your hands visible. Again, paranoid addicts easily feel threatened.
6) Keep the user talking. Silence often means a user's paranoia has taken over reality and
anyone present can become part of his delusion. Silence can quickly turn in to violence.

treat depression and narcolepsy, while other common amphetamines are prescribed to induce weight loss by suppressing appetite. Most cold medications also contains amphetamine.
Like meth, Voth said, these drugs are powerfully addictive.
"Sudafed's primary action is to constrict blood vessels, which cuts down on congestion." Voth said. "But it also increases pulse rate and makes you more alert, a lot like caffeine. Now take that and multiply it many, many more times and that's what you get with methamphetamine."
— is extracted from cold tablets. Quick and easy methods of converting cold tablets into meth using a few household items are readily available on the Internet.
In fact, the primary active ingredient in many forms of meth - pseudoephedrine
Overcoming a methamphetamine addiction is no easier than passing the proverbial camel through the eye of a needle. Drug counselors like Teresa Scruton say the addiction is as powerful as it is prolific.
That's one reason why the drug is so common. Last year in Kansas, 702 busts were made on labs used to cook meth.
Treating a methed-up life
"Physically, detox is not very dangerous," said Scruton, director of Inpatient Rehabilitation at Options for Adults in Wichita.
"The client's perception is that it's very difficult. If they can tolerate coming down and the terrible agitation that comes with getting off meth or the twitching, the intense paranoia, the feeling that they're going crazy - if they can get that far, usually we can get them into treat-
She said that compared to alcohol detoxification — which can kill a patient — methamphetamine detox is largely a mental struggle.
From pinnacle of success to depths of despair
Before he got hooked on meth, 55-year-old Will Rodgers lived in a dream world of material success.
He and his wife lived with their two sons in the gated Lake Quivira neighborhood near Kansas City, Kan. His engineer's salary - coupled with his wife's income as a psychiatrist - left the couple plenty of disposable income. They enjoyed fine foods, choice wines, expensive clothes.
"We had all the toys. We did whatever we wanted," Rodgers said, "Yeah, it was a real wild time."
Some of Rodgers' wilder times included plenty of alcohol and even some marijuana now and then. Times were good. He had it all under control.
So he thought. But then one drug led to another and Rodgers began taking "uppers" to get him through long workdays. The mood swings induced by balancing one drug with another would be the first cracks in Rodgers' dream world.
Everything started to crumble with marital problems and, soon, divorce.
Two marriages later and estranged from his sons, Rodgers sumk into deep depression. Just two years after his posh lifestyle in Lake Quivira, he found himself in an average apartment, near Kansas City's plaza.
His old hippie-day habits returned and, before long, Rodgers was introduced to the speed of speeds — methamphetamine. He said the drug — made by his meth-cook neighbor — was a welcome escape.
"Back then I got the real clean stuff straight from the cook. The cook knew what he was doing and his stuff hadn't been stepped on," Rodgers said, referring to the practice of diluting the pure drug with powders such as baking soda. "It was great — at first."
In a matter of months, meth became Rodgers' drug of choice. After a year immersed in meth, he would quit his job. Work had become too much of a distraction from his habit. He quickly squandered all of his income and all of his inheritance.
Left with nothing but the excruciating memories of his past, Rodgers was now living for the drug. He became depressive, aggressive and paranoid. Days would go by without food or rest — just more and more meth.
What began as a temporary escape was now a constant state of mind riddled with horrific delusions, such as the demons he saw swooping down out of the black sky that was his apartment's ceiling.
One night, we saw people in the street,
stripping his car's tires and stereo. He
grabbed his shotgun and fired several shots from the porch.
Police later arrived at Rodgers' apartment, inquiring about the gunfire. Though the attempted theft was nothing more than another hallucination, Rodgers' mind believed it was real, and the cops believed his story.
That brush with the police was the least of Rodgers' worries. The demons came more frequently now, paralyzing him with fear and paranoia. Rodgers was living hell.
A fateful week would see Rodgers do nothing more than lie in bed, get up each morning only to stare into the closet for a half hour, and then return to bed. The demons!
The week would culminate in Rodgers turning the shotgun on his own face. Miraculously, he survived.
The blast stripped Rodgers of his eyesight, his senses of smell and taste, and worst of all — his vanity. Even if he were to regain the means to fund his bygone dream world, he wouldn't be able to savor it.
Five years later, Rodgers feels as if he's putting the pieces of his life back together. He says only memories of the demons persist, and they scare him just enough to resist the urge to return to meth.
ment." she said.
"From that point math rehabilitation is no different than any other illegal drug."
Of the 1,000 patients who go through detox at Scruton's clinic annually, about 20 percent are meth addicts. The most severe cases of meth addiction are directed toward the clinic's impatient program.
The problem, Scruton said, is that Kansas' managed care funding only pays for up to 10 days of inpatient rehab.
"In that amount of time, there just isn't a whole lot you can do." she said.
Instead of relying on inpatient rehab, clinics like Scruton's do most of their work through reintegration — or halfway houses — which the state funds for up to a month.
Reintegration clients work during the day and attend Narcotics Anonymous or other counseling groups during the evenings. They also take one to five urine analyses each week.
"Reintegration is really strong because you're working on the client's addiction as well as their behavioral problems. Folks are out there working, dealing with day-to-day problems and, when they come home, we can help them budget money, pay their fines, do their legal work and improve their relationships with bosses, girlfriends, wives." she said.
Still, Scruton said, two-thirds of the clinic's meth addicts relapse.
Clinics that have only outpatient programs are much more limited in helping patients overcome meth. Christy Edwards, outpatient coordinator at the state-wide rehabilitation group DCCCA, said very few of her meth patients succeed on their first try. Or on their second and third tries.
"By the time they get in to meth, people are really into the drug culture." said Edwards, who works at DCCCA's Lawrence clinic. "Meth addicts relapse a lot sooner than others."
DCCCA's six- to eight-week outpatient program supports between 10 and 20 patients who voluntarily show up at the center every day for group counseling.
Edwards said the voluntary nature of the outpatient program is its biggest downfall. But, there's simply not enough funding for adequate inpatient rehab, she said.
— Luke Wazel contributed to this report.

"We're getting more people doing self referrals which is encouraging," Edwards said, noting that such patients have better luck than patients on court referral. "I think people are becoming used to hearing about drugs and so they're more comfortable seeking help. There's not as much of a stigma as there was, say, in the '50s.

Auto racing too dangerous to be athletic
The simple math escapes millions of NASCAR fans.
To me, it seems like a simple equation, take a 1,500-pound metal racing car. Drive it at 200 miles per hour around a circular track with stone boundaries and take away the ability to stop quickly.
Sounds deadly, right? It was for four drivers in the last 10 months. Yet somehow, drivers continue to race and nut themselves in danger.
Driving fanatics say the danger and the flaming crashes make it all that more exciting — it's the quick stops, not the fast speeds, that are the culprits in the deaths. A new $2.4 billion television deal will boost NASCAR's exposure and probably push the drivers for flashier finishes and faster speeds to grab more viewers.
This is a recipe for even more crashes and deaths.
So it completely blows my mind how race car drivers, after witnessing yet another deadly accident on Sunday at the Daytona 500 with the death of Dale Earnhardt, can jump back into their vehicles and take another spin around the racetrack.
Maybe it's because I wasn't raised around racing; instead, growing up near Chicago, I was surrounded with real raw athletic talent. From Walter Payton's dazzling moves at Soldier Field to Michael Jordan's finger rolls and amazing dunks — those were real athletes.
It doesn't seem that hard to grasp a steering wheel and shift gears while checking your rearview mirrors for other cars — it's called driving.
No awesome leaping ability, no lightning-quick speed required. Just sitting in a bucket seat for hours on end, trying to avoid death. No training camps, no physicals needed to join. Just make sure your belly doesn't hit the wheel and you're golden.
Cars weren't designed to travel at speeds so fast that stepping on the breaks to avoid a crash is nearly impossible. I just don't see the thrill.
I've been in two serious car accidents in my life and both times I've walked away because I wasn't traveling at an obscene speed. But after the crashes — one in which my Dodge Neon was totaled by a much larger Lexus 4x4 and the other when I was hit head-on in my Jeep by a smaller two-seater — I was more cautious the next day on the road.
Dale Earnhardt Jr. is scheduled to get behind the wheel on Saturday, less than a week after his father was killed doing the exact same thing. I've heard of jumping back on the horse after you fall, but this is ridiculous.
I'm not expecting the races to stop, but maybe more caution and slower speeds would seem reasonable. When the New York Jets' Dennis Byrd separated his vertebrae in a game against the Kansas City Chiefs in 1992, football games weren't halted. But players used caution and maybe even second-guessed risky moves.
Safety is a major concern in every sport — there is no fail-proof way to avoid it. Even with stricter safety guidelines, including the new HANS device to cushion the head in case of sudden stops, racing is far from safe. The drivers accept it, but why do they continue to play with their lives?
But when the only thing standing between you and a checkered flag is 40 speeding cars zzipping by and edging you out for every inch, that's just plain stupid.
Kaschube is a Fiossemoor, Ml., senior in journalism.
I enjoy watching hockey for the fights, but those guys just get bloody noses. A little bone-crushing in football is par for the course as long as the players wear pads. Baseball players wear batting helmets for a reason.
'Hawks must do without Drew
Ailing Gooden won't play tonight against Colorado
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Sophomore forward Drew Gooden will not play when No. 11 Kansas takes on Colorado at 7 tonight, and the Jayhawks are hoping his absence will not prolong their losing streak.
Kansas (19-5, 8-4 Big 12 Conference) will try to end its twogame losing streak tonight against the Buffaloes, whom it has dominated in the overall series, including 23 straight victories. The Hawks also have won the last 17 meetings in Lawrence.
The meeting in Boulder, Colo., on Jan. 22 saw then-No.4 Kansas edge an emotionally-charged Colorado
85-75 after trailing for most of the game. D.J. Harrison scored 26 points and hit four 3-pointers while Stephane Pelle chipped in 15 points for the Buffaloes, but Kansas junior guard Jeff Bosche countered with five treys and sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich had 11 assists in leading the Jawhawk comeback.
Gooden had 10 points and 12 rebounds in that game, though, and will not be in uniform tonight. Doctors re-examined his sprained wrist yesterday and a CT scan revealed a healing fracture that will keep Gooden out of action for at least another week.
"This continues to be a big blow for our team and especially to Drew personally," coach Roy Williams said. "He is very disappointed about not playing because he is having no pain at all, but understands this is the best decision for the future."
If the future means that Kansas' second-leading scorer at 15.6 points and the Big 12's leading rebounder at 8.4 boards per contest will return
for the post-season, then that's just fine with Williams. But for now his team will have to take care of business shorthanded.
Gooden's injury, as well as senior swingman Luke Axtell missing the game because of continued back pain, gives the Jayhawks very little depth. A deep Colorado team almost pulled out a victory a month ago, and Williams is concerned about that depth being dangerous again.
"They have balance in their scoring," Williams said. "Pelle and (Jamahl) Mosley hurt you up front, Harrison, (Nick) Mohr and (Jose) Winston and some of the guys they bring off the bench can do it from the perimeter."
Kansas will lean on Boschee's long-range shooting that tallied 19 points against Iowa State on Saturday, but it will also lean on Hinrich's heart. The Jayhawks have been lethargic at times in losing four of their last six games and Boschee said the team needed to start letting its heart show all the
time.
"I think this team is going to respond in a positive way," Boschee said. "This team has a lot of fight in it, and we'll be ready to play."

Life a struggle for Hawk mom
Brown determined to obtain degree and provide for son
By Jessie Meyer sports@kansan.com Kansan sportwriter
[Image of a baby sitting on a couch with a teddy bear. The baby is wearing a white outfit with a patterned design and is holding the teddy bear with one hand.]
It's difficult for the Kansas women's basketball player to talk about because there is nothing she can do to comfort her 11-month-old son, who was recently in the emergency room.
Dalton Brown stares into space and, as she begins a story about an ear infection, her eyes glisten and she looks away.
Dalchon's son, Jachon Nathaniel Maurice Brown, lives 1,200 miles away in Virginia Beach, Va., with his grandparents.
"Every day it's hard. I thought I was going to be there, but I'm not," Dalchon said. "But even not seeing my son doing the first things, growing teeth, walking, talking, I know it's more important getting my education."
Michon and Robert Brown, Sr.,
Dalton's parents, have been caring for
their grandson since August when
Dalton moved back to Kansas, where
she is trying to be the first in her family
to earn a college degree and also to play
Division I basketball.
"We're trying to alleviate as much pressure as we can," Robert said. "He's
Jachon Nathaniel Maurice Brown
going to have the things he needs until his mom can come and take care of him."
Dalchon is determined to make the best of the opportunities she has at Kansas on the court and in the classroom. But her first season back after giving birth has proven much more difficult than she thought.
A season of adjustments
The 6-foot-4 center has seen limited playing time as she battles knee and
back problems and struggles to get back into peak physical shape.
"I feel like an old woman," Dalchon said. "I knew it was going to take a while for me to come back to the way I know I can play after having a baby, but it's taking me longer than what I thought."
Even on the days her body cooperates, Dalchon is distracted by constant thoughts of Jachon.
"It really distracts me during practice and before the game," Dalchon said. "And then I know, once the game starts, it's all over and I have to think about basketball."
Dalchon, who has a picture of Jacob hanging from her vanity in Allen Fieldhouse, has played in 18 of the Jayhawks' 24 games this season, averaging 3.4 points and 1.6 rebounds.
But teammates said Dalchon's sense of humor and constant encouragement helped keep the team motivated through its multiple rough spots this season.
"She is so encouraging," said teammate and close friend Nikki White. "I know she has a hard time, but she does a pretty good job of staying focused. Even if she's not doing well, it doesn't take away from her helping her teammates."
Although the junior college transfer is frustrated because she thinks she has let her team down, Kansas coach Marian Washington is confident the off-season will lead to good things next year.
"That will give her a chance to get back into the shape she needs to be in," Washington said. "I would expect that next year she will contribute a lot more." Dalton plans to move back to

women's BASKETBALL
Goals at Nebraska: continued success, retribution for loss
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
By Jessie Meyer
The Kansas women's basketball team finally has what it's been looking for all season — momentum.
"They have worked hard and they have bounced back after a lot of disappointments," Kansas coach Marian Washington said.
Saturday's upset against then sixth-ranked Iowa State capped the Jayhawks hardest stretch of the season. Kansas faced four nationally-ranked teams in the past five games and came away with two upets.
The Jayhawks are looking for redemption after losing 73-62 to the "Huskers on Jan. 31 in Allen Fieldhouse. But Kansas has not defeated Nebraska in Lincoln since Feb. 2, 1997.
With this momentum, Kansas (10:4, 14-9 Big 12 Conference) heads to Lincoln, Neb., to take on the cornhuskers (11-15, 3-10) at 7:05 tonight at the Bob Devaney Sports Center.
"We're going to the Red House, and it'll be difficult," senior forward Brooke Reva said. "They have a very emotional crowd. But I think it's definitely one we can take care of if we put our heads together."
Junior guard KC Hilgenkamp said the 'Hawks were just reaching their potential.
Nebraska, which is coming off a 77-69 victory against Kansas State, brings a young but balanced offensive attack.
"We've shown signs of being this good all season, it's just a matter of bringing it every single game," Hilgenkamp said.
The Cornhuskers start two freshmen and two sophomores, but the lone senior starter, center Casey Leonhardt, poses the most serious offensive threat for the 'Huskers, averaging 13.9 points and seven rebounds.
■ Washington announced Monday redshirt junior Nikki White would not be returning to the team after this season. The 6-foot-3 center has batted numerous injuries while at Kansas, including surgery to replace cartilage in her left knee that forced her to redshirt her sophomore season.
This season White, who has appeared in 20 of Kansas' 24 games and averages 4.1 points and 3.2 rebounds, suffered a broken nose earlier this season and later missed two games because of a hipflexor injury.

Basketball has kept WNBA star Tamecka Dixon busy during the past few months. It's a good thing because she has little else to occupy her time.

The Galatisary team in Istanbul contacted Dixon's agent during the past WNBA season. Dixon took the job; she was looking for any edge she could get.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said Dixon had adapted to life in Turkey.

SCORPIO
This isn't the first time basketball has unexpectedly led Dixon far from home. A high school star in Linden, New Jersey, Dixon said no one expected her to come to school at Kansas in 1994.

"I really felt like we connected personally," Washington said. "Her family really wanted her to work with a coach who could help her develop as a young woman, and she liked our style of play and the exposure we could give her."
that helped Dixon make the decision.
"Meeka," as Dixon is called by teammates and friends, made a quick adjustment to the college game. She immediately cracked the starting lineup and was named to the Academic All-Big Eight team as a freshman.
Dixon compiled an impressive list of accolades in her four years in Lawrence. She was twice named the conference player of the year and in 1997 was named to The Associated Press All-American second team.
"She's one of the quickest players with the ball I've seen in a long time." Washington said. "Her quickness allowed us to isolate her and let her break down the defense."
One of the top female college players in 1997. The Los Angeles Sparks drafted Dixon and immediately thrust her into the starting lineup.
Dixon averaged nearly 12 points in the league's first year, a number which increased to more than 16 her second year. Her productivity dipped during the past year, so Dixon decided to use this off-season to polish her game before the WNBA season starts in May. It also has helped her appreciate her good fortune in basketball.
"This has made me appreciate what women players had to do before we had a league," she said. "This has been tough to be alone and thousands of miles away from home. This was a good time for me to do it though, since I don't have any kids and I can just ship my friends and family in and out."
Dixon said she still considered Kansas basketball part of her extended family.

"I still talk to quite a few of my team-
Washington echoed the warm feelings.
"I'm so proud of her," she said. "She really is a great young woman, and she deserves a lot of credit for helping our program both then and now."
As for Dixon, her career has left her with only one regret thus far.
"My only regret is that I was never able to give coach Washington a Final Four," she said. "Td give up all that I have now if I could go back for four more years and try to do that."

Basketball teams battle for chance to play in finals

Kansan sportswriter
It's tournament time in the men's intramural basketball league.
Recreation Services will post the official tournament brackets by 5 p.m. today outside the office at 208 Robinson Center. Teams begin battle at 5:45 p.m. tomorrow.
The teams are playing for an ultimate destination — Allen Fieldhouse. The fieldhouse historically plays host to the championship game of each division. In past years, parents and other family members of championship players have traveled for as long as three hours to spend time in the friendly confines watching the championship games.
Jason Krone, assistant director of recreation services, thinks that this year's tournament will be worth watching based on the quality of play this season.
"We have the whole gamut of talent," he said. "We run all the way up on talent level, such that some players and even teams could play on the small college level."
The brief but exciting season went smoothly, according to Krone. He has heard more positive compliments than negative, and he attributed that to this season's caliber of officials.
"I think it's because we have a high number of officials and the highest number of quality officials that I've seen." Krone said.
Those officials will have an opportunity to advance through the tournament as well. As the field of teams shrinks, so does the number of officials needed. Those officials deemed strongest and most impartial will blow the whistle on James Naismith Court in mid-March.
Officials ejected 10 players in a little less than a month of play. Nine of the 10 players tossed violated the "No Dunking" rule. Krone said that each year he stressed the rule at the manager meetings, but inevitably there were violators. The one other ejection was for unsportsmanlike conduct. Each of the ten players must have
met with Krone and served a one-game suspension to be eligible for the tournament.
The men's tournaments are the only brackets beginning tomorrow. Women's and co-recreational leagues take a break while the men's field is shrunk down to match the size of the other divisions. This is done to ensure all championship games will be played during the course of a day or two.
Intramural notes
in other intramural news, racquetball doubles competition saw its participation cut in half this season, down to only eight pairs. The number of competitors fell on the same Saturday afternoon as the Kansas men's basketball game at Iowa State. Krone said efforts would be made to next season to better facilitate those who wanted to play and watch the Jayhawks.
Finally, entries will be accepted from March 12-14 for the NCAA Final Four Picks contest. Entry is free, and, as in intramural contests, the winner will receive an intramural T-shirt.

Promise of future success justifies hardship
Continued from page 1B
Virginia this summer to be with Jachon. She will do her workouts with a personal trainer and take classes at a community college with her father.
"I can't wait till summer," Dalchon said beaming. "I'll get to see him all the time."
"It was a real shocker"
Dalchon had been on a rigorous training program in her last season at Independence Community College, trying to
lose weight and get in peak physical condition for her arrival at Kansas.
When her body began to change shape, Dalichon thought it was from the workouts. She never imagined she could be pregnant. But when her roommate mentioned the differences, Dalichon took a pregnancy test.
She was already eight months pregnant.
pregnant "I saw it changing colors, and I just went in my room and started crying," she said. "I just couldn't believe it.
"But the main reason I was crying was that I knew I had to tell my dad."
Dalchon is the youngest child and the only daughter in her family, and has always been a daddy's girl. She knew her father would be 'liv'd when he found she was with child.
"That was a real shocker. I wasn't prepared for that at all." Robert said. "But, she's human and she makes mistakes. Some of the mistakes we make can be blessings, and he's truly been a blessing in our lives.
"I love him, my main man
here. I can't go anywhere without him."
A long-distance family
Jachon, who was born March 20, 2000, has been talking since he was about four months old, and recognizes his mother's voice on the phone. Dalchon has missed his first step, his first teeth, and all of the daily things her son is experiencing for the first time.
with all of the things she's missed, Dalchon hopes to be home in a month to celebrate another first.
"I hope I get to be there for his first birthday," Dalchon said. "I've missed everything else."
Dalchon relies on phone calls and e-mails to keep up with her son's progress — having only seen him for three days since August. Though the stories of Jachon's fights at daycare and anecdotes of his first eight teeth come easy, Dalchon says talking about her son makes him seem farther away.
"It's hard every day.
Sometimes I just hide my down-falls, if I'm depressed," Dalchon said. "And sometimes I don't
hide them at all. There's nothing I can do about it."
Robert said he was proud of his daughter's efforts in the classroom and believed her decision to try to make a better life for her son had been worth the things his daughter had missed.
"There is a lot of sadness in it," Robert said. "But she knows the best place for her to be at this time is at Kansas getting her degree so she can better herself and the life for her son."
"I think it was the best decision in the world."

Committee approves newspaper program
By Brooke Hesler writer@kanson.com Kanson staff writer
The newspaper readership program is one step closer to becoming permanent, after Student Senate committees approved a bill to make papers available across campus.
"This is something that students are willing to do and want us to pass," said Ben Walker, student body president and co-sponsor of the bill.
10
The University Affairs and Finance committees approved the bill, which would increase student fees by $6.50 per semester to make The Kansas City Star, the Lawrence Journal
Walker: supports the newspaper readership program
World, The New York Times and USA Today available at about 20 campus locations. If the bill passes, the program will be in place on the first day of Fall 2001 classes.
If more people pick up the papers than expected, Walker said the newspaper companies would pick up the additional costs.
"They're not making any profit on this," he said. "This is bare bones funding."
Walker said the papers would be in lock boxes in campus buildings. Students would swipe their KUIDs to get into the lock box and get a paper.
Also last night, the constituency bill, which would require senators to meet with their constituency groups at least three times a semester, was approved by University Affairs and Rights committees.
The bill had been sent back to committees last week for extensive changes. The main change was to restructure the Senate Outreach Board, which oversees senator outreach assignments.
"Restructuring the Outreach Board was something that I was trying to get away from," said Justin Mills, holder senator and co-sponsor of the bill. "But I felt that this would address some of the concerns about how to enforce this."
The bill also requires senators to attend their office hours and be present for roll call at the beginning and end of Senate meetings.
But Mills said if senators had extinguated circumstances, they could always talk with the Student Senate Executive Committee for exemptions.
The bill made senators more accountable to their constituents. Mills said.
Both bills will go to full Senate for a vote next Wednesday.

Religious funding bill pulled
By Brooke Hester
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
A bill that could allow Student Senate to grant money to religious and partisan organizations was pulled from Senate committees' agendas yesterday. However, a similar bill is expected to be introduced in two weeks.
"We can't not give money to an organization just because they're religious or partisan," said Ben Walker, student body president.
"Basically, the entire budget code needs to be clarified," Walker said. "We'll pay for these groups' postage and things of that
Walker said the original bill failed to address some of the concerns about allocating money to religious and partisan groups. Walker, Marlon Marshall, student body vice president, and Lisa Braun, Finance Committee chairwoman, will draft the new bill.
nature, but we won't pay a minister's fee because we don't want to establish a religion."
Walker said the new bill needed to establish specific guidelines for granting money to organizations.
"If we didn't give a religious organization money, then we would need to have something in rules and regulations to point to as to why we didn't give them money," he said. Last week Senate granted money to the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics. At that time, Senate suspended a funding clause stating that money couldn't be given to groups whose primary function was religious.
The Supreme Court ruled last March that students at public universities can be required to pay fees that will go to organizations they disagree with.
"Senate needs to treat and recognize each group the same way," said Roe Marino, associate general counsel. "Although you might not fund certain activities, you must
GROUP FUNDING
What happened? A bill that would allow Student Senate to give money to religious and partisan groups was pulled from the agenda last night.
What it means: Senate's rule prohibiting giving money to religious groups remains suspended. Future legislation will decide whether to grant such groups money.
What's next: Ben Walker, Marton Marshall and Lisa Braun, Finance Committee chairwoman will draft similar legislation which would allow Senate to allocate money to religious and partisan groups. It is expected to be introduced in the next couple of weeks.
Clifton Axtell, Austin, Texas, freshman, said he was excited about the prospects of Senate granting money to religious groups. He attends services at Victory Campus Ministries in Smith Hall.
hold each group equal."
"I think that it can't hurt," he said. "Obviously from my perspective, that's a good thing. As long as the money isn't just going to one group or religion, I really don't see a problem with it."
Tim Marshall, Kansas City, Mo., sophomore, disagreed.
"My feeling is that these groups should be responsible for funding themselves," he said. "I don't think our money should be going towards organizations we don't agree with or believe in."
Olivia Stockman, liberal arts and sciences senator, co-sponsored a bill to grant money to the Student Advisory Board of the St. Lawrence Catholic Campus Center, which was supposed to go to committees last night. She pulled the bill from the agenda yesterday.
She said she decided to hold off on the bill until questions about giving money to religious organizations had been cleared up.
Closing the generation gap
Students share time at retirement home

By Michelle Ward writer@kansan.com Kansas staff writer
Shannon Clayton could spend an afternoon with the ladies polishing their nails or taking on the men in a few rounds of cards. Whatever activity she participates in, Clayton and the residents of Brandon Woods Retirement Community have a good time.
The Wichita sophomore volunteers for a variety of events at the retirement home as a member of the Intergenerational Program. Between 15 and 20 University of Kansas students bring together different generations through their volunteer work.
They arrive during activity time for things such as bingo, cards and exercise volleyball. The students also have Bible studies, parties and special events they plan themselves.
"We want them to feel loved and cared for," said Clayton, co-coordinator of the program. "It's an awesome way to help and get involved in the community."
I'll just provide the text as it appears.
The students work with a variety of senior citizens, including those with significant mental and physical impairments.
Amy Stevenson, assisted living activities director at the retirement community, said that this posed a challenge for the students, but they had met it.
"I'm impressed with how they handle each situation," she said. "The residents appreciate their coming very much. The elderly people really enjoy the students' enthusiasm."
They provide residents with one-on-

Meth's toxins may seep from ground, house next door

Less than 100 yards from the house near 14th Street, Ramos' nine-year-old daughter Abigail found something she'd never seen before in the yard. It was a dirty canvas bag with a huge metal tank inside. And it

Ramos put down his tongs to see what the kids were up to. Before he could even see the bug, the bar beque breeze gave way to the stench of ammonia.

He touched the nozzle of what looked like an

That explains why it took three fire engines, several patrol cars and an ambulance — complete with sirens and flashing lights — to respond to the tank on Ramos' property.

numerous empty blisterpacks from cold pills. Such clues are the warning signs of a meth lab and of hazardous waste.
Meth cooks often dump waste components from their labs wherever it's convenient. Roadside property like that of the Ramoses. Public streams. Directly on the ground. Some cooks even collect their waste indoors.
The chemicals used in meth are so insidious that apartments or motel rooms that have hosted labs can present health hazards to the next tenants, even when only trace amounts are left behind.
"The actual structure of residency can be contaminated." Flynn said. "You can have contaminated walls, toxic chemicals that linger."
Flynn said that in such cases, walls can be painted and floors recovered to seal in the toxicity — the trick is knowing when that needs to be done.
Last year, 702 labs were found in Kansas and as meth increases, so do the odds that the drug is in a nearby neighborhood.

Burned-down apartment residents had insurance
Although insurance investigators are still looking into the cause of the fire that occurred Sunday morning at Quail Creek complex, all three residents of 2115 Quail Creek Dr., said they were covered by their parents' homeowners insurance policies.
The students could have potentially had to pay damages if they were found to be responsible for the fire and did not have insurance coverage.
Chadd Clary, Fort Scott junior, said they had not yet discussed the issue with the complex.
"Jail Creek is more concerned with finding us a place to stay," Clary said. The fire caused major damage to apartments 2113, 2115 and 2117 and left nine KU students temporarily homeless.

Tribal chairman Dee Ketchum will meet with the city council at 7 p.m. Monday at city hall. The meeting is open to the public.
The planned complex would be exempt from property tax, but the city could reap sales tax revenue from the casino hotel and museum.
Napster offers to settle; could start charging fees
NATION
SAN FRANCISCO — Napster Inc. has floated two proposals to rescue its music sharing service: a bid to settle a crippling lawsuit and a promise of no more free tunes starting this summer.
Napster offered Tuesday to pay record labels Sony, Warner, BMG, EMI and Universal $150 million annually for five years in exchange for dropping their copyright infringement lawsuit. An additional $50 million would go to independent labels in each of those five years.
Napster envisions paying the record companies by implementing monthly subscription fees ranging from $2.95 to $9.95, a structure company officials said could be in place by July. The recording industry balked at the settlement offer.
Affirmative action case appealed in Michigan
DETROIT — A federal judge's ruling upholding the University of Michigan's race-based admissions policy has been appealed to a higher court.
The Center for Individual Rights, a conservative legal organization based in Washington, filed the appeal Tuesday with the 6th U.S. Circuit of Appeals in Cincinnati.
The center is challenging the university's affirmative action policies on behalf of two white students denied admission. U.S. District Judge Patrick Dugan on Dec. 13 upheld the university's current undergraduate admissions policy.
The center argues that such policies favor less-qualified minority applicants. The university maintains that it has the right to take race into consideration.

Holocaust survivor reflects on life
By Danny Phillips writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
The facts of history and the interpretations of literature are often exclusive but sometimes collide with each other, an Auschwitz survivor and former KU professor told about 40 people yesterday.
"History and literature travel the same highway, but in different lanes," said Ruth Kliger, who was only 12 years old when she was taken from Vienna, Austria, and deported to Auschwitz, a Nazi concentration camp. "Sometimes the vehicles history and literature run parallel to each other, sometimes they are so far removed that they couldn't hear each other honking."
Klüger based her assertion on her autobiography about the Holocaust entitled *Weiter leben: Eine Jugend* (To Continue Living - Youth).
She said her autobiography would be a footnote to Holocaust history, and had no idea the type of reaction it would cause in Germany.
"Nobody was more surprised by its success than I was," she said.
Frank Baron, professor of Germanic languages and literatures, said it was a very unusual biography.
"It gives interpretation of events, not just the events themselves," he said. "The author reflects on them and gives them significance for today."
Klüger wrote her autobiography later in life because initially she thought adults had a better perspective on the Holocaust then she did.
"I had to get old to realize that a child's perspective was interesting," she said.
Weiter leben has been translated into several languages, but the first English edition won't be available until this fall.
She said autobiographies were history in the first person based more on the feelings, thoughts and perceptions of the author than on verifiable facts. Furthermore, readers had a choice whether to believe what the author said.
Klüger used the example of
Hillary Clinton's forthcoming autobiography.
"The truthfulness of a former First Lady will be judged by her American contemporaries largely in terms of their own knowledge of White House scandals," she said.
Klüger also explored the function of "truth" and readers' expectations when writing various forms of books. She said if someone presented untruths in a novel they were "legitimate inventions," but if someone did the same thing in an autobiography they were living.
"The difference lies in reader expectation," she said.
Klüger's lecture "History & Literature: Fact, Fiction and Lies," was co-sponsored by the Department of Germanic Languages and Literatures, the Max Kade Center for German-American Studies the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, the Humanities and Western Civilization program, the Hall Center for the Humanities and the European Studies program.

Students, candidates meet
City commission hopefuls discuss campus involvement
By Cássio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Candidates running for city commission, including two University of Kansas students, met with University students last night to discuss city issues and the importance of student involvement with these issues.
The forum, organized by Student Senate, attracted 40 people, most of whom were student senators, at the Big 12 Room in the Kansas Union.
Brett Logan, Olathe graduate student, and Jennifer Chaffee, Lawrence senior, said they were running for the commission to give students a voice on city issues and to encourage students to take part in the election.
Incumbent Erv Hodges said students had always been involved with the city commission. He said he had tried to be in permanent contact with students throughout his four years as a commissioner by coming to the University and speaking at Student Senate meetings.
Hodges also said he had encouraged
students to become involved with the city's boards, which advise the commission on various actions.
Marty Kennedy, also an incumbent, said students had been always active in city commission issues, but it only appeared that way when controversial issues arose.
He said three years ago, when he was mayor, the city formed an alcohol task force that had active student participation.
Sue Hack, a Southwest Junior High School teacher, agreed students needed to be involved with city issues.
"You should register to vote and participate." Hack said.
But Kevin Pollan, a Lawrence businessman, acknowledged it was a challenge to get students interested in city issues.
"Getting the general population involved is a tough one," Polian said.
Incumbent David Dunfield said one of the possible ways to integrate the city and the University was to integrate KU on Wheels and the Lawrence transit system. But Dunfield warned there was no single way of addressing the concerns of the student body because it was so diverse.
Craig Campbell, a commercial lender with Firstar Bank, said the commission needed to improve the lines of communication with students. He suggested a city commissioner could come regularly to Senate meeting and talk about issues.
Jimmy Lee Bricker, a KU graduate, said he would like to tackle issues like the housing ordinance, halting city growth and requiring landlord registration that affected students.
"We should have a student representative with the right to vote," Bricker said.
Adam Mansfield, manager of Louise's Downtown, 1009 Massachusetts St., said he wanted to run for city commission because he had too much free time. Mansfield also said students should be active and participate in city issues.
Mark Lehman, owner of Old Home Denot. 1045 Pennsylvania, agreed.
"Students can be a huge power in local politics if they voted," he said.
Jessica Bankston, legislative director and Albuquerque, N.J., junior, said student senators would pass relative information on what the candidates said to senate committee members.
"The workshop is a step in making the student population more interested in local politics," Bankston said.
Scott Bailey, a health care executive, was the only candidate absent at the meeting.

Meth lab clean-up difficult
One of those labs, for example, was found in Lawrence less than a week after Ramos reported the ammonia tank on his property. The lab bust was just a few blocks away in a quaint neighborhood near 22nd and Harper streets.
Each one of those labs is a toxic waste dump loaded with extremely flammable gases and caustic chemicals.
KBI narcotics chief Kirk Thompson said the environmental hazards associated with the drug was the main reason the KBI has made meth its top enforcement priority.
"When a local agency runs across a meth lab, they have a problem that has to be dealt with. You can't leave a hazardous materials site sitting there," he said.
Most local agencies have a bigger problem than meth labs themselves: insufficient resources.
Just to enter a meth lab, there has to be an EPA- and OSHA-certified officer present.
Yet even an agency that has been able to send one of its officers to the 40-hour training courses probably doesn't have the safety equipment needed for meth lab clean-up.
Thompson said a minimum of $3,000 of equipment is needed for
each clean-up, including space-age protective clothing and a self-contained breathing apparatus.
"And just because you've got the training and the right equipment doesn't mean you're ready to embark on breaking down one of these labs. It's always good to have some on-the-job training first," he said.
Flynn said the average meth lab in Kansas leaves behind 50 pounds of toxic waste, samples of which are kept by the KBI as forensic evidence until each case is closed. The current backlog of meth lab forensic evidence is at least three months.
"It's a complicated problem to prove manufacturing based on the accumulation of some household products," Thompson said. "It requires a lot of forensic work and considerable time. Some prosecutors have to take plea bargains for lower penalties because of the lag time for forensic reports. With the case load we have, we just don't have enough resources to make that turnaround any quicker."
All too often — even after all the work that goes into a lab bust — meth cooks walk away with little or no punishment for their devastating crime.

Military school doesn't corrupt students' minds
protesters of the School of the Americas finally got what they wanted. Last December, the school closed forever.
December, the school closed above. A month later, however, a new school opened, called the Western Hemisphere Institute for Security Cooperation, and the school's protesters once again strapped on their Birkenstocks and hemp necklaces for another round of demonstrations.
As a member of Latin American Solidarity, I received information about all of these events. I also learned that the new school taught its students to do all kinds of wicked things, from planting land mines to setting up roadblocks. In fact, this institute was nearly identical to the elder School of the Americas, which had educated almost
600 human rights violators. I was so shocked I almost choked on my beans and rice. Fortunately, I calmed down, and upon a brief period of reflection I decided that maybe things weren't so bad.
One of the major complaints about the Western Hemisphere Institute is that its courses don't teach things that protesters think they should. For example, the SOA Watch
YOU'VE GOTTA BE HERE
Robert Chamberlain columnist
opinion@aanan.com
pamphlet explains that in the deceptively titled "Peace Operations" course, soldiers learn psychological operations, military intelligence and population controls such as (easpi) setting up roadblocks.
Similarly, the folks at SOA Watch were horrified to learn that although the institute has a course titled "Humanitarian De-Mining," in a parallel course, the school continues to teach soldiers to lay land mines. (gap)
This was somewhat confusing to me, because when I was at Ft. Benning, we mainly sat around the campfire, held hands and sang kum-yah. Certainly, there was no mention of combat, weapons or intentionally harming other people. Who would have thought such morbid subjects would find their way into the "Home of the Infantry?"
The majority of these protests aren't antiSOA — they're anti-military. If you are disturbed by the notion of people being trained to kill and find the thought of laying mine fields, setting up roadblocks and gathering intelligence abhorrent, that's fine. But that's reality you're opposing, not the school.
The school's protesters are always quick to point out the nearly 600 human rights violators that graduated the school. Of course, they fail to mention that that's 600 out of about 60,000, or one percent of all the school's graduates.
In On Killing, psychologist Lieutenant Colonel Dave Grossman observes that about one percent of the general population is psychopathic. Maybe it's the case that School of the Americas graduates exhibit exactly the same tendency toward human rights abuse as the general population.
To say that the human rights abuses by the school's graduates are a result of their training there, you have to show that the school caused them to realize things they otherwise would not have known. Otherwise, you have a correlation without causation.
The courses taught at the Western Hemisphere Institute (as well as the School of the Americas) focus on the United States' approach to military operations. In fact, more courses on democratic control and human rights are taught at the institute than at any other Department of Defense School. Whatever torture techniques human rights abusers have learned, they didn't learn them at the school.
From Cambodia to Rwanda, untrained butchers have been doing horrible things to people for centuries. Torturing unarmed people doesn't require training. On the contrary, training is required to impose restraint and discipline on combatants. It is these very notions of restraint and discipline that separate the professional army from an armed mob, and it is these notions that are taught at the Western Hemisphere Institute.
To believe otherwise is to ignore the reality of combat operations, to defy logic, and to besmirch the reputation of 59,000 graduates who have done nothing but try to serve their countries as best they could.

Pass:
Big 12 Black Student Union Conference. KU's chapter of the Black Student Union plays host to the annual meeting of similar Big 12 groups. Instead of sunny Austin, participants will enjoy Lawrence's freezing weather and monstrous pot holes. Lovely.
Smoke-free student housing. Department of Student Housing wants to protect residents' health by banning smoking. The Marlboros may be gone, but good luck getting rid of the bongs.

Fail:
Napster. After fighting for its rights, online music-swapping service caves in and offers music industry giants $1 billion to settle the lawsuit. This could be the day the free music died.
Student Senate. Senate is considering giving student fee money to some religious organizations and not others. So Campus Crusade for Christ may get money and a Catholic group won? That statement is its own punchline.
Budget cuts. Natural gas prices and state lawmakers gang up and force budget cuts both this year and next.Maybe we could become a private religious school. That would solve both this problem and the one above.
Perspective
Provocative artists force society to examine itself
"As often happens in these cases, the controversy over the ... dark and brutal view of human relationships and its shocking comic tone only served to heighten interest."
No, this quote is not about the songs by rap artist Eminem. It is about the plays crafted by three-time Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright, Edward Albee.
Emihem garnered four Grammy Award nomi nations last night for his album The Marshall Mathers LP. Some columnists and organizations such as the Gay and Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation are vehemently protesting his nominations.
To further stir the cultural cauldron, Eminem performed his song "Stan" with Elton John at the Grammys in front of millions on CBS (which the network has been all too happy to exploit.) John, an openly gay musician, received an award from GLAAD last year to honor his advocacy for gay rights.

his advocacy. Eminem's lyrics contain stories of violent acts against women as well as spiteful homophobic rants. Despite GLAAD's stance that Eminem glorifies and encourages violence against women and homosexuals, music critics from publications such as Rolling Stone, SPIN and the New York Times, all hailed either Eminem or The Marshall Mathers LP on their musical "Best of 2000" lists.
So are the lyrics an accurate portrayal of the psyche and anger for a good portion of our country's disenchanted, or are they representative of a sick and disturbed individual?
Yes.
Just because an artist provokes anger in people, of course, does not mean that artist's work should not be appreciated or celebrated. Albee, the aforementioned playwright, won Tony and
Dramatics' Circle awards and earned what would have been his first Pulitzer Prize for his 1962 play Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? The trustees who oversaw the Pulitzer Prizes rescinded Albee's Pulitzer because they deemed Woolf to be a "filthy" play. In 1962, "filthy" meant it contained latent homosexual themes.
At the time, a reviewer for the Drama Review wrote that Albee's play contained "morbidity and sexual perversity, which are there only to titillate an impotent and homosexual theater and audience."
Now, if you suggest to people that Albee's *Woolf* is a lewd and disgusting play, they'll have a long, hard laugh and go home to watch people eat each other in the latest TV-reality show.
Steven Drukman from American Theatre magazine once pointed out in an article on Albee, "It has taken 25 years to see the irony in the fact that (criticism) was disguised homophobia that accused Albee of disguing homosexuality."
Lyrics mean different things to each of us because we've all had different experiences, good and bad. Eminem's angry verses show us the trials and tribulations of growing up poor and white, angry and confused, trying to raise a family while struggling with a dangerous mix of substance abuse and heavy emotional problems.
So are Eminem's angry lyrics the result of his repressed homosexuality?
"It is, you see, a perfectly straightforward story," Albee said about his play. "It is the very simplicity of the play, I think, that has confused so many."
Might some morons mistake the visions in Eminem's "mirror" and do something heinous? It wouldn't be the first time something like that has happened. People tend to do that a lot with the Bible — for example, groups such as the Crusaders, Branch Davidians and the Ku Klux Klan.
Amen, brother.

Faith-based service groups deserve funds
Editorial___
Some programs with religious ties could combat social ills more effectively.
President Bush issued two executive orders last month to "rally the armies of compassion" — or to use tax dollars to finance faith-based organizations providing social services. The new Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives is a solid idea to combat poverty efficiently
Faith-based organizations often can administer service to the poor, addicted and disadvantaged more efficiently than government programs. Therefore. Bush's agenda is a step in the right direction for our country.
According to Bush, "when we see social needs in America, my administration will look to faith-based programs and community groups, which have proven their power to save and change lives." Some of the large organizations that would receive funding include Americorps, Habitat for Humanity, Catholic Network for Volunteers, National Jewish Coalition, Salvation Army and Lutheran Social Services. In reality, such organizations have positively changed both the served and the servants.
Service is what many of these organizations are all about. They may have varying doctrinal differences for why they help the poor, but the government can effectively improve America's social problems by working with these organizations.
Critics of the plan claim it's a violation of the separation of church and state. But Bush's goal is not to endorse a particular religious establishment. He is simply allowing religious organizations to help those in need even more.
Moreover, such organizations do not force the needy to adhere to their specific doctrines to receive help. The fear that religious organizations will use tax money to evangelize is legitimate, but government money will finance only social services provided by the religious group, not the group itself.
Government aid is most successful when the government cooperates with local civil institutions, regardless of religion. In this attempt, Bush is looking to well-founded, charitable organizations that serve the body, mind, soul and spirit.

On Friday, someone said that it was unfair that Black people have organizations and a special history month while White people couldn't have that type of thing because it would be racist. As an African-American, I'd like to say I'd trade the money, power and benefits White people have for the 28 days we get out of the year.

Lewis, Tyson ready to fight, await terms
NEW YORK — Mike Tyson received terms from Lennox Lewis yesterday for a fight this summer, in which Lewis would get half the purse.
"It's a joke, the whole thing." Shelly Finkel, Tyson's adviser, said of Lewis' terms. "They're looking for Mike to get out of his (Showtime) deal, which he can't get out of. Mike and Showtime are ready to sit down and begin negotiations for an agreement to make this fight happen as soon as possible."
According to Lewis, who has a contract with HBO, his business manager, Adrian Ogun, talked with Finkel in New York last week.
"Mike wants us to share purses on a 50-basis," Lewis said. "I am prepared to do that provided the live pay-per-view for the fight is on my network, HBO/TVKO, and that Mike compensates his network, Showtime, out of his 50 percent of the purse."
Finkel confirmed he had met with Ogun and told him "not only does Mike want to fight Lewis, he wants to fight him now."

NASCAR has plans to honor Earnhardt
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — Dale Earnhardt was buried in his hometown yesterday in a private service, as his team prepared to return his car to the track.
The Associated Press
Earnhardt was buried in Kannapolis with only immediate family members attending, an Earnhardt company employee said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The exact location was not disclosed.
A memorial service for the seventime Winston Cup champion is planned for today in Charlotte and will be televised live on Fox Sports Net.
Earnhardt, 49, was killed Sunday on the last turn of the last lap in the Daytona 500. He slammed into the concrete wall after making contact with Sterling Marlin at the head of a tight pack of five cars fighting for position.
While his family said goodbye, his team at Richard Childress Racing was planning to enter his car in Sunday's Dura-Lube 400 at North Carolina Speedway in Rockingham.
Kevin Harvick, a Busch Grand National driver for Richard Childress Racing, will race Earnhardt's car for the rest of the season, a team source said, also speaking on condition of anonymity.
Harvick, the Busch Series' Rookie of the Year last season, will drive Earnhardt's Chevrolet and use his crew. Kevin Hamlin, Earnhardt's crew chief, will head Harvick's team.
The car will not use the No. 3 or the black-and-silver scheme that was Earnhardt's trademark.
Details of the number and colors Harvick will use were still being worked out, the team source said.
Meanwhile, NASCAR and the rest of the Winston Cup teams are still working out how to honor
Earnhardt this weekend by creating a decal for all Winston Cup teams to use.
John McKenzie, president of Motorsports Design in High Point, said he had submitted five designs to Teresa Earnhardt, Dale's widow, and Richard Childress Racing, and was awaiting final approval.
"It will be commemorative decal produced by their authority, on their approval, and distributed by RCR to the racing community only." McKenzie said.
He said the designs had "the components that represented Dale Earnhardt and everything that is synonymous with him."
A spokesman for Joe Gibbs Racing said drivers Bobby Labonte and Tony Stewart wanted to honor Earnhardt but were waiting to see what developed with the decals.
"We've talked about and I'm sure all the teams want to honor him in some way," Tim Sullivan said. "We're just waiting to see what the appropriate way to do that is."
NASCAR said it would not require the Winston Cup teams to do anything to honor Earnhardt.
"We are in the discussion stage of trying to put something together as a tribute that is consistent with what DEI and RCR would want," said spokeswoman Danielle Humphrey.
Others have their own ideas.
Driver Ward Burton suggested painting the pace car black and adding the No. 3 to it. Tommy Baldwin, his crew chief, said he liked the idea of leaving the first stall in the garage empty all season. The first stall traditionally goes to the reigning Winston Cup champion.
Baldwin also urged NASCAR to retire the No. 3.
"I know it is not something that NASCAR typically does, but nobody will ever be able to fill the shoes that drove that car." Baldwin said.

'Huskers rally,beat Jayhawks
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan writerwriter
LINCOLN, Neb. — Things were going well for the Kansas women's basketball team last night, but that was before Nebraska mounted a furious comeback and handed the Javhawks a 49-46 loss.
Kansas, fresh from a stunning upset victory against No. 10 Iowa State on Saturday, held a 32-19 lead and seemed firmly in control early in the second half.
The Jayhawks (10-15, 4-10 Big 12 Conference) appeared poised for their first back-to-back victories since Dec. 1. Then, out of nowhere, disaster struck
Nebraska, behind a ferocious full-court press, exploded on a 23-5 run that spanned nine minutes in the second half, allowing the Cornhuskers to rally past the Javahaws.
"It was a tough loss for us," said Kansas coach Mari a n Washington. "I think we had every opportunity to win."
After the J a y h a w k s stormed out to an 8-0 run at the start of the second half. Nebraska completely disrupted Kansas' rhythm with intense full-court pressure.

Reves: led the Jayhawks with 13 points

Washington: "We had every opportunity to win"
Pamela A. Owen
said she expected Nebraska to turn up the heat in the second half, but she was surprised by how poorly the Jawhawks responded.
"It shouldn't have had as much of an impact, but it did," Washington said. "In our offense, we really wanted to take care of the ball and not rush, but we did anything but that."
Senior forward Brooke Reves emerged early in the second half for Kansas, opening with consecutive jumpers and finishing with a game-high 13 points on six-of-14 shooting.
While Reves warmed up in the second half, junior guard KC Hilgenkamp cooled down. After hitting three-of-six in the first half and leading the team with eight points, Hilgenkamp finished just four-of-12 from the field and missed all four of her three-point attempts in the second half.
"In the second half, I just wasn't hitting shots," Hilgenkamp said. "I had to start driving a lot more and looking for teammates that were open."
Senior forward Jaclyn Johnson couldn't provide a lift for Kansas on offense, either, scoring just two points and fouling out with 3:07 remaining in the game. And Kansas' other senior, guard Jennifer Jackson, scored just four points on two-for-11 shooting.
"We have to have scoring from our big three, and Jaclyn didn't have a very good game and Jennifer struggled," Washington said, referring to Johnson, Jackson and Reves.
Reves, whose nine points were a bright spot for Kansas in the second half, said this game was typical of how the season has gone for the Javahaws.
"It just kind of goes back to how we've been finishing games in the past,letting leads slide." Reves said.
Nebraska was coming off a 77-69 victory at Kansas State on Saturday. It was the Cornhuskers' first back-to-back victories since Jan. 2, and their fifth consecutive against Kansas.
Nebraska was led by sophomore forward Stephanie Jones, who scored 12 points and was an emotional leader throughout the game. Nebraska coach Paul Sanderford said the rest of the team fed off Jones' intensity.
"I thought she played with so much energy that it translated to the rest of our basketball team," he said.

Kansas 91, Colorado 79
Fiery Jayhawks trample Buffs
By Chris Wristen sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
After fans grumbled for the last week about sophomore forward Drew Gooden not being able to play, the No. 11 Jayhawks proved that, for a night, they could win without him.
Kansas (20-5, 9-4 Big I2 Conference) clicked on all cylinders and were good enough to outlast a late Colorado charge, beating the Buffaloes for the 24th straight time last night at Allen Fieldhouse. 91-79.
Gooden, a sophomore forward, missed his fourth game because of an injured wrist, but his absence went unnoticed. Sophomore forward Nick Collison erupted for a career-high 26 points and senior forward Kenny Gregory added 20. Senior center Eric Chenowith also scored 17, helping the front line earn Kansas coach Roy Williams' approval.
"The inside guys really did a good job and the perimeter players did a good job of getting it in there." Williams said. "We're going to shoot a good percentage when we do that. Leave out (Jeff) Boschee's numbers of not shooting it in and everything else really looks good."
Williams also praised junior forward Jeff Carey for picking up the slack. Carey had seven points, a career-high nine rebounds and two blocked shots, helping Kansas
The Jayhawks hit 50 percent of their shots, including 27-for-42 from the front line.

The Jayhawks came out fast and looked to punch the Buffaloes out of the gym early as sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich found Collison for dunks on two of the first three possessions. But Colorado's Nick Mohr scored eight points in the first four minutes and kept the Buffaloes close.
A 6-0 run sparked by Richard Fox's layup gave Colorado the lead, but Kansas countered with a 6-0 run of its own.
Colorado hit just three field goals in the last seven minutes of the half as Kansas closed with a 16-7 run capped by a buzer-beating dunk by Gregory. Carey fielded a long rebound of Boschee's missed free-throw and hurled a shot from the far corner. Gregory was there for the follow and slammed it home as time expired that left the docile crowd in a temporary frenzy.
"The way it worked out, I'll have to say it was a pass," Carey said of the play. "If it had gone in it was a shot."

'Hawks too beefy for Buffaloes to handle
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
By Zac Hunter
COLORADO 50
When Colorado fed the Fox, good things happened.
Unfortunately for the Buffaloes, there weren't enough fouls or minutes to keep sophomore Richard Fox in the game last night in Allen Fieldhouse. Fox is the only beef on Colorado's team, standing an imposing 6-foot-11 and 270 pounds.
Of Colorado's starting front-court, only forward Stephane Pelle and Jamahl Mosley could come close to matching the 'Hawks' size inside. Yet their efforts were futile in the 91-79 loss to Kansas.

When Kansas center Eric Chenowith, who scored 17 points and pulled down nine rebounds, got on a roll inside, Colorado coach Ricardo Patton looked down the bench to Fox to slow the surge.
"Of all the post players, the one thing I bring that they don't is the size," Fox said. "I knew why I
was going in there and that was to bang with him and try to push him out, away from the block." Although Fey, wasn't the shin.
tight of the Colorado team, he was effective when he played. In 14 minutes of play, he scored four points and pulled down four
Although Fox wasn't the shin-
rebounds. But his minutes were limited because of foul trouble.
"They're obviously bigger than us," said Fox, who collected four fouls. "Going into the game, we wanted to get them into foul trouble, but we got into foul trouble earlier. I rely on my size and my strength, and definitely that was limited tonight by the officials."
With 13:13 left in the game and Kansas taking control inside, a group of spectators in the south stands began to chant "We want Fox."
With 10:10 remaining, Patton gave the fans what they wanted. But nothing Fox did could contain Kansas' explosive front-court.
Chenowith combined with sophomore forward Nick Collison and senior forward Kenny Gregory to score 63 of Kansas' 91 points.
Gregory, who scored 20 points,
kept hanging around the rim. He
gave the Jayhawks a nine-point
lead at halftime, when he turned
a desperation shot by Jeff Carey
into a thunderous dunk.
"D.J. (Harrison) was kind of outside the lane and didn't look over his shoulder to see Gregory behind him," Patton said. "And again, that's a mental error and we had some of those."
Collison led the Jayhawks with a game-high 26 points and was the source of much of Patton's frustration.
"They're much bigger than we are inside, and they capitalize on pounding inside." Patton said.
But Kansas' dominance in the paint didn't discourage the Buffaloes from making a run that cut the lead to four points midway through the second half. Colorado used a hot second half by Mosley and Harrison, who combined for 25 points in the half, and got back in the game before the Buffs' lead faltered.
"I believe Colorado gave Kansas all it wanted tonight," Patton said. "We gave ourselves a chance against a very good basketball team."

Football recruit finds success in spotlight
By Jeff Denton

Kansan sportswriter
Two years ago, Greg Heggans was fine with being in the background.
But even as a sophomore in high school, the Kansas football team couldn't help but show its interest in Heaggans, a multi-dimensional threat from Schlagle High School in Kansas City, Kan., who has orally committed to the Javhawks.
He starred mostly as an option quarterback, rushing for 45 touchdowns in his first two varsity seasons. Despite the offensive production, he still lived in the shadow of his older brother, Gary, a wide receiver who is a year older than Greg.
He could not shake the stigma of being Gary's younger brother until last summer when the older Heaggans left for Purdue on a football scholarship.
But no one trusted Greg to take on a larger role more than Schlagle coach Steve Sczygiel.
The focus was on Greg from the getgo." Szczygiel said. "But he was concerned about his brother and wanted him to have much of the attention. That really says a lot about his character."
"I loved playing with my brother," said Henggans, a 6-foot-1 and 185-pound athlete. "But at the same time, it was good for me to be out of his shadow."
Greg agreed with his coach.
In his senior campaign, Heaggans flourished. He captained the offense, returned kicks and blanketed the field as a defensive back. This prompted a large number of college scouts to pack the bleachers at Schlagle.
Kansas coach Terry Allen said he saw the potential that Greg could have at his projected college position, the same one that his older brother plays.

season because they were afraid of him," he said. "He is explosive and competitive. He will be an exciting college player."
Even after giving an oral commitment to Kansas early in his senior season, Heaggans was still being pursued by other big-name programs. Notre Dame and Northwestern courted him, and Purdue offered him what no one else could, a reunion with his older brother. But Heaggans was sold on Kansas because of its proximity to home.
"The recruiting process was confusing," Heaggans said. "But KU was on me the hardest, and that meant a lot. Plus, my parents can make the games, so can my friends and people in the community. I weighed my options, yeah, but I made the best decision signing with Kansas. I can't wait to move forward."

Oenophiles and enthusiasts gathered last Saturday to taste, compare and enjoy a wide selection of red and white wines at the home of Jerry Hammann, Omaha, Neb., senior.
Don't stop Wining Wine party offers alternative to beer bashes
Story by Sarah Smarsh Photos by Jamie Roper

The trees in the front lawn glowed with strings of gold lights. Aromas of shrimp.
cheese and chocolate wafted from the front door, along with sounds of mellow music. Inside the house, smiling people in ties and skirts mingled across the hardwood floors. They all held wine glasses as they hovered near tables of hors d'oeuvres and rows of half-full wine bottles.
What did you do last weekend?
Drink beer?
While you might have been guzzling a six-pack, about 60 students and Lawrence residents escaped the college-town social mold and attended a wine-tasting party.
Jerry Hammann, Omaha, Neb., senior and the party's host, provided an atmosphere of good wine, good food and dressy attire for those seeking an alternative to keeg parties and noisy bars.
The "wine party," as Hammann and his friends called it, was the seventhe he has held in the last three years. To the ritual, which has become a well-known social event among many groups, everyone brings a bottle
of wine or a snack.
"I just love getting my friends together and letting them meet other groups of friends," Hammann said, with a glass of red wine in hand.
The crowd was composed of mostly 20-somethings, but party-goers ranged in age "from 18 to 46," according to Hammann. Some of the wine lovers traveled from Omaha, Neb., the Kansas City area, Topeka and Oklahoma. A variety of ethnicities
Jerry Hammann's Wine-Tasting Tips:
- Start with a sweet, white wine and gradually move to darker reds. Beginning with dry wines will shock your taste buds and compromise the tastes of lighter wines.
- Rinse the mouth or suck on a slice of lemon when switching wines to clean the palate.
To enhance a meal, drink white or blush wines with pasta and red wines with most meat dishes. Port wine complements desserts.
Robert Rodriguez, a Lawrence graduate student who said he'd been drinking wine for 14 years, called himself a "connoisseur of fine wines, especially South American wines." Rodriguez said his love for the drink stemmed from its flavor.
filled the room, including African Americans, Brazilians and Argentineans. But everyone had one thing in common—a love of wine.
"Wine is the only alcoholic drink where you truly enjoy the taste," Rodriguez said. "You don't just drink to get drunk."
But Shana Paoalazola, a Shawne resident and 1998 University of Kansas graduate, said she enjoyed reaching an altered state with a nice red wine.
"It makes a warm feeling—a very nice drunk." she said.
Paoalazola also said wine made her drunk more quickly than other drinks.
Paoalazola said she had been to three of Hammann's wine parties. There, she and her husband found "intellectual conversation" in a "dressy, classier, more elegant" environment.
Carl Sumler, of Lawrence, said he normally drank beer. But Sumler, who drink white zinfandel at the party, said he had learned to appreciate an occasional glass of wine.
"Wine is more of a relaxed drink to me," he said.
Sandy Rubin, Shawnee freshman, said Saturday's gathering was her first wine party. Rubin, who said she usually hung out on Massachusetts Street and normally drank mixed drinks, said sweet white wines were another drinking option.
"I don't like the taste of beer that much," she said. "Beer is so heavy."
But Rubin said she didn't agree with the stereotype that wine drinkers were snobs.
"The atmosphere is very conducive to getting to know people." she said.
Debbie Taylor Ness, a Lawrence third-year law student who said she attended all seven
of Hammann's wine parties, disputed another stereotype — that wine-drinking was too expensive for most people.
"You don't have to make $100,000 a year to enjoy wine," Taylor Ness said, sipping a dry, red variation.
Hammann, who said he "developed a taste for wine" as a member of the California coast guard, agreed students could have misconceptions about costs.
"The people in the Midwest don't really enjoy wine like they should," he said. "You can get a good bottle of wine for $4.99."
Chris Paoalazola, an attorney in Shawnee, said he liked expensive wine to "enhance a meal," but agreed wine drinkers didn't have to "swish it around" in their mouths or subscribe to Wine Spectator.
"The best thing about wine is that you can enjoy it on any level," he said.
Rodriguez, who is from Argentina, said people enjoyed wine "with every dinner" in his native land, the fourth-largest wine-producing country in the world.
"In the United States, especially among young people, they don't drink wine. They waste their time drinking beer just to get drunk," he said. "That's why this is a unique party."
Hammann said he was happy to offer a "sophisticated" social alternative.
"Every time I've had the parties, I've had people come up to me and say, 'This is the best time I've had in my college career,'" he said.

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 22).
Heal an old trauma, and you may find that you've outgrown your present surroundings. Prayer and private conversations will lead to completion in February. By March you should feel much stronger. You'll start noticing improvements to be made. Request more money in April. Learn something you used to think was too hard in May. Tell a roommate how you really feel and improve living conditions in June. Tell a loved one how you really feel and improve romantic relationships in July. Study all year so you're ready to go public in December. Tally up your losses and celebrate your wins next January and February.
Aries (March 21-April 19) — Today is a 6.
You may feel like somebody's looking over your shoulder. You're being pushed to try something new. What you've been doing hasn't worked as well as you'd like. That complainer could be your own inner voice, so listen.
Taurus (April 20-May 20) — Today is a 5.
You'll get stronger as the day goes on. That will be quite helpful because you're running into trouble. This is not all your fault, so don't take it on the beak. Stand up for your rights, but nicely.
Gemini (May 21-June 21) — Today is a 6.
Are too many demands being put on your time?
You need a partner. Somebody who's willing to take a risk. Somebody who'll draw attention away from you while you figure out what to do next.
Cancer (June 22-July 22) — Today is a 6.
You're anxious to get out of town. A serious bout of spring fever hits hard. Soon you'll be unable to ignore it. Get as much finished as possible now so you can try something new tomorrow. It's bound to come up.
Leo (July 23-Aug. 22) — Today is a 5.
Being popular is wonderful, but you might start to feel hassled. Be careful with your resources such as time, money and energy. Don't make promises you can't keep. Some of your admirers will just have to wait until later.
Virgo (Aug. 23-Sep. 22) — Today is a 5.
You've been working your fingers to the bone for the past few days. Are you getting burned out? If you get somebody to help, take care. Watch that person like a hawk to make sure you don't have to do the job over.
Libra (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) — Today is a 6.
You're in a good mood initially, but then you'll star running into obstacles. You used to think you were pretty smart, but today you might wonder. Making mistakes is normal. Just be careful, so you don't hurt yourself.
Scorpio (Oct. 23-Nov. 21) — Today is a 6.
You'd like to stay home and fix up your place, but first you have to do the homework. Don't get bogged down in papers, but do look at the options. It's all part of the planning so you can get the right thing.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6.
You're contemplating great philosophical truths.
You may even be in an argument with another person. Why not take the night off and let your subconscious work on the problem? You may find the answer in your dreams.
Aquarius (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) — Today is a 6.
You're going from analytical to emotional. That could explain your strange mood swings. You're not losing any powers; you're actually gaining some. You're learning about nonverbal communication. Keep listening.
Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 7.
Money's been on your mind, and with good reason. You have money coming in, but it's not steady. If you add a couple of new skills to your repertoire, you might make your life easier. It's OK to do that, by the way.
Pisces (Feb. 19-March 20) — Today is a 6. You're gaining in strength, and not a moment too soon. You may have to stand your ground against a direct assault. Don't let others control you. Let them know you can only be pushed so far. That may surprise them, so be patient.

But if at the end of your workout, your individual
muscle groups are not fatigued, go ahead and do a few more sets. With this type of workout, use mainly free weights and choose weight that is challenging but not impossible.
Body builders and those who are interested in muscle growth tend to do both multi- and single-joint lifts, such as squats and leg extensions. With this type of workout, do two to four exercises per body part with three to five sets of eight to 15 repetitions. Rest only a minute or so between sets and choose weight that becomes increasingly harder. You should reach muscle fatigue during your last few repetitions.
With all workouts, start working your largest muscles first as well as combined muscle groups. Then work down to individual muscles. That way you are able to warm up smaller muscles, and they won't become too tired to assist in lifts for the larger ones.
Safety, consistency and variety are the keys to maximum results. Also, you can have the biggest muscles in the world, but if you fail to burn any existing fat, no one is going to see them. So don't forget to incorporate cardiovascular exercise into your routine.
basic exercises such as lat pull down, modified bench press and leg press with fairly light weight. Try using a mix of machines and simple free weight exercises, and do two to four sets of 10 to 15 repetitions with 30 seconds of rest between.

With this challenging workout, you may want to concentrate on one body part per day with plenty of recovery time between workout sessions.

3,000 Miles to Graceland falls short
By Rob Pazell
jayplay@kansan.com
Jayplay movie critic
At first, the storyline of the film 3,000 Miles to Graceland seems pretty intriguing.
A band of Elvis impersonators knocking off a casino during an Elvis convention seemed like a pretty creative story, plus a little bit of sarcastic action hero Kurt Russell didn't hurt.
But it was big disappointment. What seemed to be a great idea fell to ruin in a rain of never-ending bullets, followed by way too much Kevin Costner.
The story begins with our hero Mike Zane (Russell) at a rendezvous in a dingy
hotel outside of Las Vegas. After landing a love interest not more than 20 minutes into the film with motel owner Cybill (Courtney Cox Arquette), Mike meets up with Murph (Costner), Eddie (Christian Slater), Gus (David Arquette), and Franklin (Bokeem Woodbine), who round out the Elvis quintet. Murph runs the show, foreshadowing his sadistic character by demonstrating violence toward friends and going psycho about denouncing Elvis.
As for the heist, a well-devised plan and unique mixing with the other Elvii would have been great, but instead the whole casino erupts
into a bloodbath with so many bullets it was like reliving Normandy.
But their escape gets even hokier. Plot-wise, the movie plays out to a complete greed fest, with telegraphed back-stabbing going in every direction — Costner being the main villain.
The middle of the flick bottoms out as so many Costner movies do (see Waterworld and The Postman for reference). Furthermore, Costner is unconvincing as the villain. The character could have been great—a hard edged ex-convict who claims to be the son of the King himself. The show HBO First Look revealed Russell was originally going to be cast as
Murph, but got bumped by Costner. Maybe that was a mistake.
The restraint of Kevin Pollack's character, a U.S. Marshal on the trail of the fallen Kings, was further disappointing. He was only seen in the office a few times, after long intervals of boring plot. Showing a little more ingenuity and law enforcement could have made the plot a little more believable. Plus, Pollack plays an excellent wisercracker (see The Usual Suspects).
In short, 3,000 miles to Graceland goes miles to nowhere. Its plot was about as realistic and predictable as a Justice League cartoon. Furthermore, only one Elvis tune is played the entire movie.

Prisoner wins lottery, can now treat himself
NORTH PLATTE, Neb. — The good news is Neil Gray won $102,000 on "Powerball — The Game Show." The bad news is he can't spend it on much more cigarettes and snacks until at least May 18, the first date Gray's eligible for parole.
Gray, 25, is in an Omaha prison for assaulting a police officer during a drunken scuffle.
Robber masks face, forgets to hide voice
Now, Gray can treat himself to cigarettes, snacks, a television set and other small items at the prison canteen.
While at the correctional center, the Nebraska Gaming Commission informed Gray the ticket he'd bought last summer was eligible for the TV game show's $1 million in prizes. Gray's father, John, attended the show and brought back his son's winsings.
CHICAGO — When two masked robbers burst into the Shedd Aquarium, flashed a gun and demanded the cash receipts, staff couldn't help but notice something, well...fishy.
One of the men sounded exactly like an employee who'd clocked out minutes before the robbery Saturday. Coincidentally, the robber was wearing exactly the same work clothes.

KNOXVILLE, Tenn. — It may not be as American as apple pie or baseball, but eagle love is coming to a school near you.
Some 80,000 schools have been invited to watch Liberty and Justice, two bald eagles, share intimate moments in their manmade "love nest" beginning March 1 on the Internet at www.eagles.org.
The videotaped "nest watch," set up by the nonprofit American Eagle Foundation, will track the eagles until July 4 as they try to repopulate their threatened species.
"This is going to be a wonderful opportunity for people to see their national bird tending to their nest and to their family," foundation president Al Cecere said.

At 77, musician embodies folk tradition
Fans consider guitarist an icon

By Richard Gintowt
joyplay @kansan.com
joyplay writer
"Music is the only vocation I've ever had," musician Doc Watson said. "I thank the good Lord because I love it."
I'll just go with the image. It's a black and white photo of an elderly man playing a guitar. He looks like he might be performing or practicing. The background is dark, but it's hard to tell what it might be. The man's expression is focused and serious. I don't have any color information in the image.
At 77, Doc is in the twilight of his career as a performer and guitar icon. Among his fans and students, "Watson-style" guitar is to flat-picking guitarists what "Scruggs-style" banjo or "Monroe-style" mandolin is to bluegrass pickers. His distinctive guitar style, warm voice and uncanny ability to deliver a song have solidified his reputation as an elite folk performer. Though his reputation may draw a crowd, his modesty, warmth and sense of humor bring them back time after time.
Armed with a steel string guitar, a flat pick and a vast repertoire of songs traversing the vaults of blues, country, jazz, gospel, oldtime and bluegrass music, Doc played to a sold-out crowd of 1,300 at Johnson County Community College last month.
Complimented by guitarist Jack Lawrence, his musical partner of two decades, Doc performed oldtime country songs from artists such as Jimmie Rogers, The Carter Family and the Delmore Brothers, as well as interpreting traditional numbers such as "Shady Grove" and jazzy instrumentals such as "Sweet Georgia Brown."
"Doc mixes all types of American music," said John Erlinger, St. Louis junior, who attended the show. "He bridges the gap between old-time music and newer folk music."
Fans say that Watson has a knack for connecting intimately with his audience, putting himself into the character of the song. When he sings about the jailhouse blues, Doc sounds like he's singing from a lonesome concrete cell.
"Doc really knows how to tell a story," local musician Tony Ladesich said. "For me, seeing Doc is more that just seeing a great guitar player. I like to hear him sing." Admirers praise Doc for his genuine connection to the songs he plays, of which have their
roots in early 1900s blues and folk traditions. Raised in a musical family in Deep Gap, N.C., Arthel "Doc" Watson absorbed the traditions of folk music while growing up in the heart of Appalachia.
"Seeing Doc is like seeing the source," said Fred Wickman, who plays in the local band Hadacol. "There's no generational loss. He's as real as it gets."
Blind since infancy, his first experience with a stringed instrument was a banjo that his father built for him. When his Grandmother's 16-year-old cat died, Doc's father used the cat's skin to make the banjo head, an idea he got from a Sears & Roebuck catalog.
On stage, Doc told jokes between songs and Jack ruminated on his hometown's affection for Andy Griffith. During "Browns Ferry Blues," Doc momentarily forgot the lyrics as he chuckled at a line about "two old maids a' playin' in the sand, each one a' wishin' that the other was a man." Doc's laughter was contagious, and the audience responded with more laughter and applause.
A set list is out of the question for a musician who has arranged definitive versions of hundreds of songs and performed professionally for 50 years. Doc decides what to play during the course of the show and either whispers it in Jack's ear or simply begins to play.
"We just get up there and play like we're playing for each other in our living room." Jack said.
As blessed as Doc has been in his musical career, the tragic loss of his son and touring partner Merle in 1983 reminded him how lucky he is and how sacred life is. Although Doc found it difficult to play music following Merle's death, he felt that Merle would have wanted him to keep going. In remembrance of Merle, Doc presents Merlefest in Wilkesboro, N.C., which he expects to draw more than 50,000 fans.
"It's not uncommon for me to hear a song for the first time at the same time the audience hears it." Jack said. "Sometimes I can tell what song he's going to play simply by where he puts his cap."
Doc said his relationship to music nowadays was one of deep interest rather than excitement.
"When you're young, you do get all excited," he said. "But you get over that and you get to where
you're deeply interested in it. You love it and when you work at it, you're calm. I used to get all shook up when I got on the stage, but I've gotten over that."
After so many years performing, Doc has allowed himself to relax on practicing guitar a bit to focus on other priorities in his life.
"When you get to be my age, you don't play near as much as you did," he said. "I'll go two or three days sometimes without picking up my guitar, or even a week."
Doc said he took pride in influencing and entertaining people — "giving 'em some pleasure."
Jack said he thought Doc would rather be remembered as a good human being than a good guitar player. Both performers said they

hoped their shows would be an inspiration to aspiring guitar pickers.
"I hear people come up to me all the time and say 'Well, I'm just gonna go home and trash my guitar,'" Jack said. "I'd rather people say 'Hey, this really makes me want to go home and play.' That's what I like to hear."

CD Reviews Big Smith Big Rock
The pride of Springfield, Mo., Big Smith is a bluegrass/country quintet that writes original numbers with a keen sense of country-fried humor and traditional bluegrass and country instrumentation.
Their fourth independent
"Quarry Song," the highlight of the album, is a slower country song about a small town's battle to keep a quarry out of their backyard, and other tracks showcase piano-based honkytonk a la Hank Williams
Big Smith only falters on a couple of tracks, such as "She Lets Me In," which sounds like a mediocre Big Head Todd song. Otherwise, Big Smith is worth checking out for fans of bluegrass, alt-country or local heroes Split Lip Rayfield.
album, Big Rock, is a showcase for their versatility. "12 inch 3-Speed Oscillating Fan" is a traditional bluegrass stomper about a pointless attempt at fighting summer heat, complete with blazing fiddle and high, lonesome three-part harmonies.
— Richard Gintowt
Various Artists Café del Mar (Mercury)
Named after a famous Mediterranean nightclub on the Spanish island of Ibiza, Café del Mar would seem to be an album of fast-paced electronic dance songs.
Instead, the album delivers lush, ambient music. The soft,
sexy sounds, heard especially on Breather 2000 by Afterlife, will set the mood without inducing snoring. Only a few songs have an exotic, Spanish sound ("One More Try" and "Cahuta").
Café del Mar also includes artists most listeners are familiar with, like Bush and Moby, whose "Whispering Wind" echoes the haunting quality of the Plav masterpiece "Porcelain."
The only time the album really falters is with Deep and Wide's "Easy Rider," which at times sounds like the cheesy, piped-in tunes heard at Dillons. Overall, Café del Mar is a great album to wind down with. Too bad Lawrence is landlocked.

Fair Housing — It's Your Right!

It cannot be denied to anyone because of race, sex, religion, color, national origin, age, ancestry, familial status, sexual orientation, or disability.
It is against the law to deny people the opportunity to live where they want to live. If you feel that you are being treated unfairly, contact:

Beatles tribute band hits Lawrence
By Aaron Lerner
by Aaron Lerner
joeyplay @ kansan.com
Joyplay writer
Beatles fans in the Lawrence area finally have a big event to look forward to.
This time, however, it's not John,
Paul, George and Ringo they'll be
cheering for. It's Mark Benson,
Gary Grimes, James Pou and Greg
George, four lads from Akron, Ohio,
who dress, sing, act and even look
like the four Liverpool superstars.
They appropriately call themselves
1964 ... The Tribute.
The four musicians began playing together in 1984 and were an instant hit, winning major awards.
"We were doing a lot of original stuff, but we needed something to do live on the side," said Benson, who plays the part of John Lennon. "We began getting booked a couple of times a month performing The Beatles and out of nowhere began winning these awards. There was no one more surprised than us."
Although 1964 ... The Tribute has been featured on nationally-tel-

Beatles tribute band hits Lawrence
By Aaron Lerner
joyplay@kansan.com
Jayplay writer
Beatles fans in the Lawrence area finally have a big event to look forward to.
This time, however, it's not John, Paul, George and Ringo they'll be cheering for. It's Mark Benson, Gary Grimes, James Pou and Greg George, four lads from Akron, Ohio, who dress, sing, act and even look like the four Liverpool superstars. They appropriately call themselves 1964 ... The Tribute.
The four musicians began playing together in 1984 and were an instant hit, winning major awards.
"We were doing a lot of original stuff, but we needed something to do live on the side," said Benson, who plays the part of John Lennon. "We began getting booked a couple of times a month performing The Beatles and out of nowhere began winning these awards. There was no one more surprised than us."
Although 1964 ... The Tribute has been featured on nationally-televi-vised programs and plays more than 150 shows a year, the band's biggest distinction is playing in Germany when the Berlin Wall came down.
Although other groups recreate the feel of a Beatles show, Benson said that the chemistry of the group set them apart.
Show info:

Student mad about being locked in bus
By Danny Phillips writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Until Tim Dupree receives the letter of apology that Lawrence Bus Company has promised, he's not sure what action to take against the KU on Wheels driver who locked the doors and refused to let him off the bus until a supervisor arrived.
until a nurse Dupree, Kansas City, Kan., graduate student, said he felt humiliated and embarrassed when the driver refused to let him off because he was using a bus pass that wasn't his.
The KU on Wheels driver has been disciplined for the Feb. 13 incident, said Holly Krebs, transportation coordinator for KU on Wheels
"The driver discriminated against me as a minority and as a male," said Dumree, who is African-American.
Dupree, who is Alireal Boulaye Wayne Popp, president of the Lawrence Bus Company, which oversees the KU on Wheels operations, has written Dupree a formal apology for the incident, Krebs said. She said it stated that a disciplinary report had been put in the driver's file. Popp could not be reached for comment, and the driver's identity could not be confirmed.
The driver picked Dupree up at 11th and Indiana streets, where he showed her a friend's bus pass and boarded the bus, Dupree said. He said the driver drove him to the Kansas Union and asked to see his bus pass again.
bus pass again. Dupree said he asked what the problem was. She just asked to see the pass again without explaining why. At first he refused, but then he took out his wallet, showed the driver the pass through the plastic holder and put the wallet back in his pocket.
The driver asked him to remove the pass from his wallet, Dupree said, but he refused. That's when the driver locked the bus doors and refused to let him exit until KU on Wheels supervisor John Bialek arrived.
Bialek said he had been instructed not to comment on the incident.
Dupree admitted that he was wrong to use a friend's pass to board the bus, but he said the driver should have dealt with the problem before she drove him to the Union. He was also upset that the driver kept him on the bus against his will.
"She detained me for absolutely no reason." he said.
krebs said Dupree had violated two statutes of the Code of Student Rights and Responsibilities.
Article 22, section B, No.7 states a student who "knowingly, and without proper payment, utilizes the services of the University which require payment" is an offense against property.
Section C, No. 2 states a student who "knowingly furnishes false or misleading information to the University" violates the orderly process of the University.
ess of the circling No disciplinary action could be taken against Dupree without the bus pass, Krebs said.
Duprese said that Bialek had never asked him to turn over the pass.
"Hopefully there will be no further problems." Krebs said.
Dupree said he hadn't received the letter yet, but would wait to see what it said before he decided what further action, if any, to take.
"If it's an acceptable apology, then I'll end it there," he said. "I hate that it all happened."

He said it can also be caused by infections such as mononucleosis and HIV, as well as the use of some medications designed to treat infections.
Bodensteiner said the disease was treatable through a bone marrow transplant, but sometimes required the addition of suppressive drugs. On occasion, the suppressive drugs are sometimes enough to cure the disease.

Fight to the meth: Kansas legislators and law enforcers
Meth prosecution a daunting task
METH
Meir pro
METH
MARCO
DIE HAFTEN
By Phil Cauthon
writer@kansan.com
Kansas senior staff writer
Jeff Brandau's life is loaded with methamphetamine.
His otherwise spacious office is brimming with the one of the drug's eew non-lethal byproducts mounds upon heaps of paperwork.
Like all of the Kansas Bureau of Investigation's 30 narcotics agents, he investigates more than a dozen new meth lab cases every week, each one a laborious process that can easily last years. With 702 busts on meth labs last year, the KBI's job is about 175 times more intense than it was in 1994. All because of one drug.
"Nobody's foreseen this big of a problem," he said. "Something's going on all the time, all weekend, at night, truly 24 hours seven days a week. And yet look how small of an agency we are, and we're responding to all that we do. It takes a lot from your family. Football games you miss, birthdays, all kinds of thines."
As Brandau talks about his wife and three boys, he stops to answer the phone. "Guess what that was." As soon as he hangs up,
another call concerns a meth-buy he'll make undercover in a half-hour.
Just about every day, Brandau goes undercover into dealers' dilapidated homes wearing the same polo shirt and Levi's that he wears to the office. To catch these criminals he must negotiate the unusually volatile mood swings and hyper paranoia induced by meth.
meant.
"Are there scary times? Sure there are. It can be intense. Really intense." But, he said, "Our best cases are made with undercover activity. You're not dependent on informants to tell you how things operate, who's doing what — you're seeing it for
yourself."
Like Brandau, most Kansas officials see a lot of meth. In many ways, Kansas is the ideal host for the drug. Interstates 70, 35 and 135 serve as arteries for meth trafficking from the Southwest and Mexico, which shoots the drug right into Kansas communities. Whereas drugs like heroin and cocaine are harder to find here, meth can be bought in the most remote Kansas towns.
most remote locations.
Even if imported meth isn't available, anyone can make it using household products and a recipe off the Internet. The state's open, rural spaces are perfect for manufacturing meth, a process traceable by its noxious fumes. And, one of the main ingredients in meth is readily available on any Kansas farm — the fertilizer anhydrous ammonia.
Life Meeth
Meth also thrives in Kansas because local police and sheriff's departments are generally
not equipped to fight the drug. Because evidence from meth busts often involves hazardous chemicals, cops must have extensive training to investigate cases. Thus most of the casework falls back on the KRI's agents.
On his office wall above an FBI training certificate, Brandau keeps a portrait of George Custer. He laughs when asked about it. "Yep. That's us. We might be surrounded, but we're going to fight like hell."
Eating away the state's pocketbook
Once Brandau and other officers catch a meth dealer or manufacturer, the battle is only half-won, if that. Successful prosecution is a daunting task as well.
After a meth lab is busted, investigators have 48 hours to file charges. The accused is then entitled to a preliminary hearing within two weeks.
At the preliminary hearing, prosecutors — such as Wichita District Attorney Mike

University Council tables revised course retake policy

University Council has tabled a course retake policy that would expunge the original grade of students who had received a D or an F in the course and average the grades of students who had received an A, B or C the first time.

The proposal, which had been previously approved by University Senate Executive Committee, was
The proposed retake policy would also allow students to retake courses in which they had received a D or an F without any approval from the University. Instead, students would be required to register with the dean of the school where the course was offered in order to
prevent students with academic misconduct from benefiting from the new policy.
The proposed policy was created in Fall 1999. It was then introduced to the academic policies and procedures committee, to SonEx and to University Council. The policy, at the time, was
The policy, at the time, was approved by all three bodies.
The University administration sent the policy back to University governance because it had problems with its implementation, said Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost.

She introduced an amendment at meeting, which would allow students only to retake a course that had been taken during the first 80 hours of their college career.
The policy will be considered again by University Council at its next meeting Thursday, March 8.
- Edited by Sydney Wallace
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost, said she was comfortable with the draft of the new policy.
What happened: University Council delayed its decision on a new course retake policy at its meeting yesterday.
COURSE RETAKE:
What it means: The proposed policy would expunge the first grades of students who had received a D or F. It would also allow students to retake courses in which they earn a D or F without approval, but only if they register with the school's dean.
What's next? The council will reconsider the proposal at its meeting Thursday, March 8.

rower shutdown affects campus buildings again
University workers will shut down power on Sunday to continue electrical repairs on campus and to check for possible damage.
Last Sunday, Facilities Operations workers repaired one of the two main power switches located behind the power plant.
Doug Riat, director of Facilities Operations, said workers could not open one of the breakers at the switch to repair it. He said Westinghouse Electric will repair the breaker, but the University will take care of any wiring or insulation needed.
The Dole Center will be without power from 6 to 11 a.m. because of the repairs.
Burt Hall, Green Hall, Learned Hall, the Spahr Engineering Library, the west parking garage and the Burge Union will be without power from 11 a.m. until 4 p.m. Workers will check the power switch that provides power to the west side of campus for wear and tear.
Riat said the there was no damage and workers would check the switches as a precautionary measures.

Male students compete for title of Mr. Engineer
A handful of male engineers will shed their books and calculators, along with their clothes, to compete in the Mr. Engineer Contest as part of the Engineering Expo. The contest, at 4:30 p.m. today at the Frontier Room in the Burge Union, is sponsored by the Society of Women Engineers.
Kelli Deuth, Salina senior and a contest organizer, said it was an opportunity to give everyone a break during the expo. A panel of five freshman engineers will judge the men in several categories: business suit, talent, tie and boxes, and geek factor. Prizes will be awarded for the winner of each category, with the overall winner being crowned Mr. Engineer.
Chad Gustin, Overland Park senior, is the reigning Mr. Engineer and will try to defend his title again this year.
"It was fun last year, especially because there were lots of chemical engineers judging and in the audience," said Gustin, a chemical engineering major.
Milt Sills, a 1955 KU engineering graduate and senior vice president of product engineering at Cessna
Aircraft Co., will deliver the expo's keynote address at 9:30 a.m. in Swarthout Recital Hall.

The Blueprints Student Leadership Conference will help students learn and develop leadership skills.
The conference, on Friday, March 2 and Saturday, March 3, will focus on motivation, communication, time resources and diversity skills.
Speakers include Barbara Ballard, state representative and associate vice chancellor for student affairs; Beverly Davenport-Sypher, associate dean of liberal arts; and Aaron Quisenberry, assistant director of Organizations and Leadership. Andrew Urich, a professor of business law at Oklahoma State University, will be the keynote speaker.
Kim Fuchs, Merriam senior, said the conference's speakers would help participants develop their leadership skills.
"I think one of the really neat things about this conference is that it provides students the opportunity to meet students at KU, to develop their leadership skills and to empower and help them," Fuchs said.
The conference costs $10, which covers program materials, breakfast and lunch on Saturday and a t-shirt.
Limited scholarships are available for students who are unable to pay the fee. More information is available at 864-4861.

Submarine commander still relieved of duties
WASHINGTON — When the Navy needed to strut its stuff, it could count on Cmdr. Scott Waddle to get the job done, those who know the beleaguered submarine commander say.
"He's the one that's chosen when they want to send a submarine to show off on Armed Forces Day in some major port in California," said his friend John Peters, a retired Navy submarine captain.
Waddle, 41, now keeps quiet, pending investigation into his submarine's collision with a Japanese fishing and training vessel. Two civilians were at control positions in Waddle's submarine when the accident occurred. The Navy relieved Waddle as commander of the USS Greeneville after the Feb. 9 accident that sank the Ehime Maru, which was on a one-month training cruise with Japanese high school students. Twenty-six people were rescued, but nine others — including four students — are missing.

More than 100 left dead in Indonesian violence
JAKARTA, Indonesia — Gangs carried the severed heads of their victims through a Borneo island town where more than 100 people have died in brutal ethnic violence this week. Security forces yesterday patrolled Sampit in Central Kalimantan province — the Indonesian part of Borneo island
where clashes between indigenous Dayaks and migrants from other parts of the country first erupted Sunday. The violence highlights the breakdown of law and order in Indonesia as the archipelago emerges from more than three decades of authoritarian rule and old ethnic hatreds erupt into bloodshed. President Abdurrahman Wahid left for a two-week trip yesterday to the Middle East and Africa saying he was not worried about leaving Indonesia mired in a political crisis and ethnic violence.
Study researches deadly asteroid
Most life forms killed in collision
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — History's most devastating extinction, the death of almost 90 percent of life on Earth, may have been triggered by the impact of an asteroid or comet like the one that much later killed off the dinosaurs.
Researchers analyzing the chemistry of ancient deposits in China and Japan concluded that a space rock three to seven miles across smashed into the Earth about 251 million years ago, the time of the Permian-Triassic extinction event.
The study appears today in Science journal.
In what has been called "the great dying," 90 percent of all ocean species and 70 percent
of all land species vanishee within a short period of time — a key event in the history of life on Earth.
The Permian-Triassic impactor, either an asteroid or comet, left behind subtle deposits of buckminsterfullerenes, or "Buckybala," a form of carbon shaped like a volleyball with a hollow cage-like cavity inside.
"This was the mother of all extinctions," said Luann Becker, a University of Washington geochemist and lead author of the study. "What makes it so remarkable is that virtually all marine life and a good portion of land life forms were eliminated in a very short period time."
triggered or sped up by a massive object falling from space.
Becker said she and her colleagues found within those cavities a helium isotope that was thought to be of extraterrestrial origin. That, she said, provided strong evidence that the Permanian Triassic extinction was either
Although impacts from space played a role in the Permian-Triassic and Cretaceous-Tertiary extinctions, Becker said there were distinct differences in the two events.
For one thing, the chemical evidence left by the impactors. The worldwide geological formation marking the Cretaceous-Tertiary boundary is enriched with iridium, a chemical from outer space.
The other difference was that the Earth was different. At the time of the Permian-Triassic impact, all the continents were together as a single land mass, called Pangea. By the time of the dinosaur extinction, some of the continents were separated and moving apart.
Becker said where the Permian-Triassic object hit the Earth was unknown, but the dinosaur-killing asteroid carved a massive crater in Mexico's Yucatan region.

Goth scene alive in Lawrence
By Sarah Smarsh
TOMMY KEEPING A BACK TO THE MOVIE
Kansan staff writer
The "gothic" trend may be dying out, but the sub-culture of black clothes and hypnotic music continues in the Lawrence area.
Phil Johnston, Lawrence resident, relaxes in his bedroom before heading out for "goth night" at a club in downtown Kansas City. Johnston keeps in touch with other area goths via the Internet. Photo by Aaron Showalter/KANSAN
Numbers of "goths," social rebels who don vampiric looks, swelled in recent years with the mainstream popularity of dark music from musicians like Marilyn Manson and the band Nine Inch Nails. Now, with pop music's transition to lighter fare, many goths have hung up their capes. The true goths are what remain in the trend-followers' wake.
Liz Caldwell, a Lawrence resident and bartender at the Granada, 1020 Massachusetts St., said she had been "into the underground goth scene" for about six years. Caldwell, 21, bought her first pair of fishnet pantyhose when she was 14. Soon thereafter, she began dying her naturally blonde hair black.
Now, the subculture is more than a look for Caldwell. Goth is a way to see the world and its woes.
licked the feminine aspect of the goth look. "she said.
"We see the world as being unforgiving — people who are going to reject you your whole life." Caldwell said.
Caldwell said a feeling of social rejection was a common thread among goths.
"In school. I was constantly the odd man out," she said. "I tried to be accepted, but wasn't."
Now Caldwell, who even sports the goth look while tending the bar, is "extremely accepted" at work and even among high school acquaintances. She said it all fell into place when she found her true identity.
Phil Johnston, a Lawrence resident who attends Johnson County Community College and had trouble relating to people growing up in Paola, discovered goth toward the end of high school and continues to wear all black and listen to the genre's music.
it's opened up a whole other world for me," Johnston said. "You realize there are other kids out there who think like you do."
Johnston said the goth culture originated in the late 1970s as a "rebellion against the disco era." He said the original goths, called "elder goths," remained, listening to different music but following the same inspiration — Edgar Allen Poe literature, Susie and the Banshees' music and the influences of the Gothic and Romantic periods.
But goth has definitely changed, with the new wave being perpetuated by use of the Internet, Johnston said. He said the new goths lacked the "pretension" of the old culture, which he saw as too harsh on "baby goths".
baby girls. Caldwell said that dissension among the ranks occurred, even within a culture that was a refuge for those "ostracized from the
world." She said verbal hazings of baby goths would crop up on the e-mail list of almost 200 goths to which she subscribed.
Jeremy Gaston, Lawrence sophomore, said he felt accepted despite his fledgling involvement in the goth scene.
"I may go out in all black with a completely painted face one night, and then wear Vans and khakis the next day," Gaston said. He also said that his mood dictated his response to goth's appeal.
"Sometimes it's the music; sometimes it's just sitting around being money," he said.
just sitting around being mowey," he said. Gaston pointed out that he usually felt accepted but continued to have his identity questioned.
But Caldwell insisted that internal conflicts were in hopes of preserving the true goth culture — allowing it to survive surges like the recent trend.
"It's sort of like a family," she said.
Nevertheless, Bodensteiner said they would also look for bone marrow matches in the National Transplant Registry. The registry includes 4.2 million people.
but finding a match will be hard for Brandon; he is adopted.
Continued from page 1B
"In his case, it is going to be tough in trying to get his adoption record open to find out whether he has a brother or sister." Bodensteiner said.
Brandon said his adoption records were closed, which makes his search for his biological parents difficult.
Add the fact that he is Hispanic to the list, and the chance of finding a matching donor is much lower.
"When I was adopted in 1979 in the state of Texas, all records were closed, and they stay closed forever," he said. "We are working with the adoption agency to expedite the process of finding them. The adoption agency does not know who my birth parents are either since my records have been blacked out."
Paul Walker, Merriam senior and Brandon's roommate, said it was especially hard for minorities to get bone marrow matches.
"The vast majority of known bone marrow donors are predominately Caucasian," he said. "It is hard for people of different ethnicities to get transplanted."
Student seeks marrow match
Dennis Nichols, executive director of the Heart of America Bone Marrow Registry, said finding a bone marrow match on the registry was harder for minorities.
"Most minorities have a difficult time finding a match on the national registry," he said. "The problem is that minorities are under-represented."
Nichols said the registry had programs in place to increase the number of minorities on the registry.
But as Brandon waits for a donor match, other things still weigh on his mind.
The disease has put a dent in Brandon's study habits. He said he might not be able to return to school this semester.

"I know it is happening, but it is also surreal," she said. "The hardest thing is realizing our own mortality and the helplessness you have to help somebody."
Brandon isn't the only one feeling the strain the disease has put on him. His adoptive mother, Shellie, said her son's diagnosis did not feel real.
Through it all, Brandon has remained in good spirits. Walker said.
"The hardest thing for him is being taken out of his everyday environment," he said. "He has an optimistic attitude on things. He is taking it from day to day. He hasn't been real down."
Bodensteiner said he was not sure what would happen to Brandon, but he was hopeful.
"Brandon is an ideal patient," he said. "He has a very positive outlook. I hope he responds to the drugs he is taking. I hope we can find a donor."
"There is no point in stressing out because it is out of my control," he said. "There is nothing that I can do about it."

Brandon said he was trying to take everything in stride.
Legislature scrambles to deal with growing meth problem
Edited by Doug Pacey
Continued from page 1A
Jennings — must have sufficient evidence to hold meth cooks for trial. It used to be that forensic testing needed to prove meth manufacturing could be ready in two weeks.
But as forensic evidence backlogs swelled in 1998, Jennings and other prosecutors had to change strategies.
Today, prosecutors typically call in investigators like Brandau to testify that the accused was attempting to manufacture
meth. Jennings said that's usually enough to bring the case to trial.
"If we don't get something on file, most of these cooks are going to get back out there and start cooking. And that's been our experience. We're trying to keep people from getting out and re-offending and pumping this stuff into our communities." he said.

Welch: says meth is eating up KBI's resources
"It's no longer a revolving door for cooks."
Jim Shiefrieke, one of two KBI chemists dedicated to meth-related evidence, said it takes him a week to process every two or three cases — some cases require more than two weeks.
However, investigator testimony won't suffice at the regular trial — nothing short of forensic evidence can put a meth cook in prison. Tests of the household products for toxic compounds indicative of meth manufacturing must be ready in three months. Otherwise, meth cooks go free.
With a record 702 lab busts last year, that glut of casework translates into a three- to 12-month backlog.
And that's not good for the odds of successful prosecution.
A recent $2 million in emergency federal funding should enable the KBI to hire several
more chemists, but that's small consolation. When crack, marijuana and other drugs are factored in, an average of 35 new drug cases come to KBI forensics every day, said KBI Director Larry Welch. Add to that forensic evidence from murders, rapes and the like.
"Above all other endeavors, meth is eating up our resources. We can't abreast of the requests," Welch said. "The biggest demand on our people, our time and our resources is meth, meth, meth."
Accordingly, the KBI is lobbying hard at the Statehouse these days.
The agency is seeking $666,000 for six new agents, five more forensic scientists and two crime analysisists, said KBI legislative liaison Kyle Smith.
That money would be in addition to the KBI's $19.4 million 2001 budget nearly $13 million of which comes from the state.
But odds are, the KBI won't receive a grant of extra state funding this year, despite its pleas and despite the state's ballooning meth epidemic.
That's because the state government has collected $65 million less in tax revenue than it budgeted for this year, said State Senator Steven Morris.
we nave to weigh priorities to try to decide whether putting more resources into meth is more important than, say, putting more resources into K-12 education," said Morris, chairman of the Senate's Ways and Means Committee.
"I don't know that the perception's there yet that the meth problem is that critical even though we're all well aware that it's a very serious problem," he said.
"If we get the reputation for not being able to catch and successfully prosecute these criminals, we will lose some of the deterrence factor," Smith said.
The KBI's Smith worries that without more funding, meth's presence in Kansas could swell to devastating levels.
The deterrence factor for possession of methamphetamine now stands at 49 months in prison for repeat offenders, since the Legislature stepped up sentencing guidelines two years ago. Meth manufacturers with no criminal history get a minimum 12 years in prison. That penalty doubles for the second offense.
"The biggest demand on our people, our time and our resources is meth, meth, meth." Larry Welch
KBI Director
Still, many small-time meh cooks are able to plea bargain for less time while the forensic evidence from their labs remains stuck in the KBI backlog.
Jennings said the penalties — when the system works — are adequate and comparable to the rest of the United States.
Questioning the 'war' mostl
Questioning the 'war' mentality
Others think the system doesn't work at all. Illegal-drug historian Jill Jonnes said the flaw starts with the "war" mentality that shapes how the U.S. government fights drugs.
"Time has shown us that drug users should be in drug treatment and, for the most part, should not be in jail or prison," she said. "Addicts need to have their lives completely structured to extricate them from the drug culture."
"My feeling about drugs is that supply creates demand," Jonnes said. "So, yes, you need law enforcement to address the drug supply. But we need to give equal weight to treatment to address the demand once it's there."
She said prison only reinforces addicts' identity as social outcasts and — more often than not — does nothing to help them beat the drug.
Jonnes' 500-page book — Hep-cats, Narcs,
She said the United States won't beat addiction until it changes its mentality on fighting illegal drugs — particularly where meth is concerned.
and Pipe Dreams: A History of America's Romance with Illegal Drugs — chronicles the minds of users dating back to the colonial fascination with opium through the crack rage of the 1980s.
But given the deep addictive qualities and wide availability of meth — none of America's drug epidemics to date compare with the potential for damage presented by methamphetamine, she said.
For her part, Jonnes sees promise in the so-called "drug courts" created by Janet Reno in the late 1980s. Drug courts require drug convicts to undergo closely monitored treatment in lieu of prison time. If they fail urine analyses or ball on counseling, they pay incremental fines and, eventually, do prison time.
She said if funding existed for these programs, the criminal justice system would shrink along with drug addiction.
"But you have to convince Congress of that," she said. "The fact is that the people controlling the money are just several years behind."
Today there are about 500 drug courts in the U.S., none of which are in Kansas — indicating the drug war mentality reigns here.
For example, three juvenile drug convicts who had just been released from the Franklin County Detention Center were picked up again last month. Two were caught with the raw materials used to make meth and one was caught cooking the drug.
Ann Sinclair, who works at the Center, said most, if not all, of the 11- to 17-year-olds entering detention have recently been on drugs — and many of them use meth
Still, during the 48 hours to three months they spend at the detention center, none of the kids will receive drug treatment or counseling.
the courts may decide to place kids in one of the state's 51 treatment facilities. However, Sinclair said more often than not, the same kids end up cycling in and out of detention, feeling as if they have little stake in society.
With nothing to lose, they lose them

Spirit of youth remains strong with pop music
I have a confession to make! I love pop music. Teeny-bopper pop music, to be exact. Britney Spears, N'Sync,
Backstreet Boys, Chance the Rapper
Backstreet Boys, Christina Aguilera — yes,
Love them all.
The new Lazer; I love it. I watch Total Request Live whenever I can, and I crave teeny bopper gossip.
I am willing to bet more than a fair share of University of Kansas students love teeny-bopper music as much as I do, but they are too ashamed to admit it. Although I do not own a single CD of those mentioned artists, I do have their MP3s, as well as an extensive Britney Spears poster collection.
Bubble-gum pop music for free: It doesn't get any better than that.
After five classes every Monday, I want
to come home and relax. I don't want to listen to the booming bass and braggadocio of rap or the power chords of alternative rock. I want Britney to tell me about a girl named "Lucky" and Christina to tell me "What a Girl Wants." It's all good clean fun, which is what everyone needs sometimes.

For all of you who think it is a passing fad
Witness the Super Bowl. The Backstreet Boys sang the National Anthem while Britney and N'Sync performed with Aerosmith during halftime. Several pop groups also were nominated for Grammys.
I hate to break it to you,but it look it's here to stay for a while.
Pop is as hot as ever, and everyone is trying to get a piece of the new market. But there has been a strong pop music backlash.
Public expression of hate for pop music has become as much of a phenomenon as pop music itself. A new video or skit parodying a boy band or pop diva plays up pretty often. Artists such as Eminem, Blink 182 and Limp Bizkit have made careers out of poking fun at pop music.
I credit the backlash to jealousy. Back in the '70s and '80s, people wanted to be rock stars. Now, people want to be pop stars.
Consider the benefits; you wear outrageous clothing, sing and dance in front of millions of people and get paid millions of dollars, all while not writing your own songs.
But I find it very ironic that the same bands that insult pop music are competing with the same groups for the No.1 spot on TRL. As fun and liberating as it is to make fun of pop music and pop stars, I encourage everyone to appreciate all types of music.
Rap music speaks more to some people. For others, that music might be techno or alternative. As for me, pop music speaks straight to my heart.
I think I'm this way because I grew up in the most culturally devoid place in the world. Springfield, Mo. Everything is commercialized and conservative, and most cutting-edge or diverse artists avoided Springfield.
So I took refuge in pop radio and MTV.
That was where I got all my music. I grew up and learned to embrace all kinds of music, but not remained close to my heart
During high school, as alternative music dominated the air waves, I secretly prayed for a Debbie Gibson or New Kids on the Block reunion. My wish was granted — sort of — when Gibson and the New Kids came back reincarnated as Britney Spears and the Backstreet Boys.
There were no more songs about alienation and struggle. They sang about heartbreak and infatuation, two things going through just about every fickle 17-year-old's mind.
So to all the other closeted pop music lovers: I encourage you to break out and proclaim to the world your love of pop music. Next time you're driving, don't suppress your inner child by turning down the volume on the latest N'Sync song.
Instead, lower your windows, turn up the bass and crank the volume. Let your inner child run free and bask in pop music's beauty.

Cloning human beings trivializes value of life
Viewers of NBC's Dateline got a sneak peak at part of the future's nastier side earlier this month.
Dr. Panos Zavos of the Kentucky Center for Reproductive Medicine plans to start the process of cloning a human being next month. Here is a bit of the conversation he had with one of the show's hosts, Stone Phillips.
Phillips: There is a hit-or-miss, trial-and-error element to all of this. I mean, there are going to be ...
Phillips: Mishaps?
Zavos: Yes. And we are ready to face those mishaps. We're going to try to limit those mishaps. We're not perfect. Only God is.
Phillips: But these aren't sheep, or cows, or mice. These are - these are human beings.
JOHN BAYARD
Zavos; Sure. And we understand that.
Phillips: Is that just the gruesome price of moving forward in this area?
Andrew Marino columnist opinione kansan.com
Zavos: It's part of any price that we pay when we develop new technology.
Perhaps Zavos' position would be more understandable if his purpose were to cure diseases or save lives. But Zavos said he wanted to clone humans so couples would be able to have biological children, presumably by cloning one of themselves. A few couples expressed interest in cloning their dead children.
The good doctor's mishaps included monstrously deformed children, abortions, miscarriages and discarded human embryos. What's scary is not that Zavos tried to argue that these wouldn't be bad things — he clearly understood that he shouldn't even try. What's so frightening is the weight these mishaps are given in the all-consuming quest for progress. They are simply the price we pay for new technology.
Some scientists pushing the biotechnology line say this human dignity mumbo-jumbo is just that. Dinesh D'Souza, in a recent National Review essay, provided two interesting viewpoints from the scientific community.
This is an ominous loss of respect usually accorded human life.
Biologist David Baltimore argued that statements about morally and ethically unacceptable practices had no place in the biotechnology debate because those were subjective grounds and therefore provided no basis for discussion. The cells of human beings aren't that different, chemically from any other animal.
"This is not an ethical argument but a religious one," said biologist Lee Silver.
The relevant question is this: Is there something more to human beings than just the biological facts, the physical stuff? The answer lies in ongoing inquiries in the areas of politics, literature, philosophy and art. It would benefit these scientists to study some in these other fields, lest they end up in science's worst and most evil traditions.
These views are mistaken, and these men are woefully trapped inside of a science that cannot answer the relevant question. To them, this means there must be no answer, so they can do whatever they want to the human "stuff."

Editorial
Newspapers would boost awareness
A permanent Newspaper Readership Program is well worth its small price.
Chances are the student body was a little more well-read during the first four weeks of the semester. Chances are this is because of the Newspaper Readership Program, a collaboration between Student Senate and USA Today that provided students with free access to daily newspapers.
The free pilot program ended Feb. 9, and it's sad to see it go. It is important to foster college students' awareness of news and current events, and the program is a great way to do this.
Wednesday, Student Senate committees approved a bill to increase student fees by $6.50 per semester to finance the program. This was a big step toward making the program permanent, and the full Senate should approve the bill next week.
Papers were available at Oliver Hall, Wescoe Hall and the Kansas Union. Nearly 500 issues of USA Today, The Lawrence Journal-World and The Kansas City Star and 185 issues of The New York Times were available each day.
USA Today Regional Marketing Manager Mike MacGee said most days, all the papers were picked up.
Student Body President Ben Walker worked to bring the program to the University after hearing about a similar program at Pennsylvania State University. He said student feedback had been very positive and that the program could increase knowledge of national and world events and promote civic responsibility.
"We are marginalized at every level of government because we are seen as lazy and apathetic," Walker said. "More access to news will help turn around this trend."
MacGee said that if the fee increase were approved, distributors would ensure that there were enough papers for all students on campus.
The Newspaper Readership Program also features a recycling program, from which the University would earn proceeds.
The price students would pay for access to knowledge is minimal. The program has provided students a great opportunity. If it becomes permanent, it's up to students to take advantage of it.

Speaking out
Forum addresses rape as war crime
February Sisters gather to describe the brutality of crimes against women
By Sarah Warren writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Mass Rape. Strategic Rape. Sexual Torture.
These are just three of the terms Anne Barstow learned while researching the role of rake in the wars of the 20th century.
But Barstow shared more than definitions last night at Alderson Auditorium. The retired history professor and author shared the stories of women to whom these awful terms were more than just words — they were once part of their reality.
Barstow, author of Wars Dirty Secret: Rape, Prostitution and Other Crimes Against Women, and Pamela Schifman, coexecutive director of Equality Now, an international human rights organization dedicated to women, were the speakers at last night's February Sisters Forum.
Sharon Sullivan, Lawrence graduate student and member of the February Sisters Association, said that the aim for this
year's forum was to bring light to the act of
rane as a weapon in war.
In her speech, Schifman told of a Muslim woman in Bosnia who was sent to a "rape camp." At the camp, the woman was forced to have sex with at least 20 Serbian soldiers a day. Even more appalling, she said, was that the repeated rapes of this woman and the 32 other women in the camp took place on a table, set on a stage in an auditorium full of soldiers.
Furthermore, Sullivan said that the Serbs were encouraged to rape as their duty as soldiers, not just for pleasure.
"In Bosnia, soldiers were told to go out and impregnate as many Muslim and Albanian women as possible to dilute their population," Sullivan said. "There are two main reasons for rape as a weapon of war: one, it is to destroy family and community life, and two, it is used to gain control over the enemy women's reproductive system."
And Barstow said this wartime technique was not a new phenomenon. She said it had been used for decades and that women were too afraid to speak out until recently.
Barstow cited stories of the World War II "comfort women" used by Japanese soldiers. Barstow said these forced prostitutes first broke their silence in 1991 - 50 years after the rape crimes against them had taken place.
"There are two main reasons for rape as a weapon of war: one, it is to destroy family and community life, and two, it is used to gain control over the enemy women's reproductive system."
Sharon Sullivan Lawrence graduate student and February Sisters Association member
"An elderly Korean comfort woman told me, I was born a woman, but I never lived as a woman. I fall sick when I am close to a man. I shutter when I see the Japanese flag," Barstow said. "From this I have learned that repeated rape kills part of the spirit."
Raymond Hudgson, Topeka junior and one of few men in the crowd, said the forum opened his eyes to the utter brutality of rape.
"I think on the surface you know that rape is a really bad thing," Hudgson said. "But I didn't know how extensive it was until tonight."

Computer lab song and dance was staged
By Sara Bouska
Special to the Kansan
Thirteen people broke into song and dance at the Budig computer lab shortly after noon on Monday.
And it will happen two more times this semester, but only those 13 people know when and where.
The performance that confused a lab full of students was an honors project in theater and film for Josh Meyer, Overland Park senior. He wrote the music, and the choreography was a collaborative effort by the 13 participants.
“It's based on the idea that musicals can just pop out in real life.” Meyer said. This is the new form of musical portrayed in movies
such as Everyone Says You Love You and TV shows such as Top Rock
The routine began when one of the students began humming loud enough for the rest of the room to hear.
Within a few seconds, other members joined in and the tune had pervaded throughout the lab. A male student stood up and belted a short, but hearty solo about the joys of e-mail, while the humming continued in the background. When he finished, another student stood and sang. And then another, and another.
By this time, everyone in the lab had stopped what they were doing and focused on the singers. They stared as a man rushed through the door and burst into song. The Broadway-style performance lasted about five minutes while the singers and dancers performed rans, chants and blues solos.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen, especially in the lab."
Eric Oden Cameron sophomore
Eric Oden, Cameroon sophomore, who was working in the lab, said even the staff at the computer lab wasn't warned about the show.
"I didn't expect such a thing to happen, especially in the lab," he said.
Meyer said he had been working
with an adviser on the honors project for a while, but there was no direct evaluation of the performance.
"The next step is to write a post-mortem and say how I think it went," Meyer said. "It's really a self-starting thing."
The lyrics of the song included verses such as, "e-mail, you're electronic desire, make my love life catch on fire." They also maintained what Meyer called "a veil of secrecy."
"It's part of maintaining an illusion." Meyer said.
A bigger veil of secrecy is when and where the troupe of 13 performers will again break out into a musical, but Meyer won't give any hints.

Hair Today, Here Tomorrow
The Hair Museum in Independence, Mo., preserves a forgotten art form
story by chris borniger - kansan opinion editor - photos by thad allender

taking into a room packed with thousands of strands of hair could cause you to flip your wig, to exploit a pun.
From wreaths to watch fobs, brooches to bracelets, hatins to earrings – it's all
After all, it's not every day that a person experiences such an unorthodox exhibit. But every year, more than 1,000 visitors do just that at Leila Clooan's Hair Museum in Independence, Mo., just outside of Kansas City.
I am not a fan of the image provided. It appears to be a black and white portrait of a woman with curly hair, wearing a light-colored dress or hat. There are no visible texts or distinctive features that could provide more information about the subject.
Real hair of the lady depicted in the painting is pasted on top of the framed picture. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, hair collecting for the purpose of hair art was common for families trying to remember a deceased family member.
there, and it's all hair. The small, 10-by-15-foot room (adjacent to the Independence College of Cosmetology, which Cohoon also owns) is loaded wall-to-wall with more than 2,000 pieces of hair art.
"To my knowledge, it's the only hair museum in the world." Cohoon said.
The roots of Leila Cohoon's passion for hair art, however, stem from an unusual experience while shopping at Kansas City's Country Club Plaza in 1956.
Although the museum has only been open since 1990, Cohoon has been in the hair business for 51 years. A hairdresser by trade, she and her husband Don opened the cosmetology school in 1960.
She encountered a beautiful wreath at an antique store and was shocked when she found out it was made from human hair.
The history behind the wreath fascinated her. Its frame was dated 1652, and
someone had written "mama and papa"
and some sentences in German
Translated, it explained that the wreath consisted of hair from several members of an

Austrian family, produced as a memorial She bought the wreath, and a hair genealogist was born that day.
"I guess it's become my obsession." Cohom said.
Each piece of hair art in the museum has a unique story behind it, she said. One floral tapestry contains the hair of 156 members of an extended family. Two wreaths consist of the hair of two sisters who sheared their heads before entering a Sedalia, Mo., convent in the late 1800s. Another wreath is a memorial to a young girl who died while still an infant, also near the turn of the century; her parents kept her hair to remember a life cut short.
Creepy? A little. The practice, which dates back to the 15th century, became popular during the reign of Queen Victoria in England, who wore a bracelet of her husband's hair after his death as a sign of mourning. But Cohoon said hair art wasn't strictly to commemorate a loved one's death; it marked significant events, was given as gifts for sentimental value and, sometimes, was purely decorative.
"It's not just an art form." Cohoon said. "It basically was a forerunner of photography. Since most people didn't have cameras, keeping hair was how they remembered the people they loved.
"It's the only part of a person that's still here after they die. That's family history, and it doesn't disintegrate. You don't have to worry about preserving it."
In many ways, it's a lost art, she said. Most pieces date from before 1900, because of the decline of the Victorian Era and a popular belief that the hair of dead people was contaminated with the plague.
Cohoon, who said she had made several pieces of hair art using strands from her own family, described the process as painstaking. Strands must be tied to weights to prevent tangling. Then, they're counted and divided into piles of equal number, all the while keeping follicles at one end of the pile. Thanks to her ability, she's a keen restoration artist, saving older pieces of hair art in need of repair. Cohoon even collects pieces from around the world. She's traveled the globe, seeking new pieces of hair art (next week, she's off to Hong Kong). And since the advent of the Internet, she's used the Web to track down hair art for sale.
1 there, she's found even more examples of unusual hair art: buttons made from hair and memorial wreaths glossied with paint made from — big surprise — powdered hair.
I find it quite interesting where I find it,
when I find it," she said. "Every day, I
wonder what I'll find next."
Even comic Phyllis Diller sold a hair wreath to Cohoon. Diller found the wreath at an antique store. She sent it to Cohoon, attaching a note that reads "This hair wreath comes to you from a woman who has outlived her hair."
But Cohoon has a rule for the exhibit: No piece can be younger than 100 years old. That would probably rule out a piece from the town's other favorite Harry figure; Independence is, after all, Truman's hometown.
Cohoon is semi-retired now, but she keeps busy with her hobby. This June,
she'll play host to the fourth convention of the Victorian Hairworkers Society of America. She's expecting guests all the way from Germany, Sweden and China. Hair's use as a genealogical tool fascinates her. She's even writing a book about it.
Marianne McGrath, an instructor at Cohoon's college of cosmetology, said Cohoon's love for history and for family drove her passion for hair art.
"She's such a people person, such a family person," McGrath said. "She really takes these pieces to heart. They mean something to her. I think it's neat that she's preserving a part of the past."
Thousands of strands of hair are woven together to create a cross with miniature flowers, each made of individually selected human hair.
McGrath said she understood how some people would think the practice was strange.
"Hundreds of years from now, people will say 'What were they thinking?'" McGrath said. "But we're all gonna die someday. If we gonna have something for our families to take care of forever, it'd be hair."

Kansas, Nebraska to meet again
By Chris Wristen
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
The last two times the men's basketball team went on the road, some Kansas players provided bulletin board material for their opponents.
Coach Roy Williams offered a solution to make sure it didn't happen before his No. 11 Jaihawks (20-5 over all and 9-4 in the Big 12 Conference) travel to Nebraska (14-12 and 7-6) for Sunday's 2:30 p.m. game.
"I asked them if I need to put a muzzle on them," Williams said of seniors Eric Chenowith and Kenny Gregory. "There's no telling what they're going to say tonight, so if they make up something stupid, just ignore it because it could happen. It has happened quite a bit recently."
Before the Baylor loss Gregory said he didn't respect the Bears and that the Jayhawks' losses to Missouri and Iowa State didn't concern him because Kansas had lost to good teams — not Texas A&M or Baylor. A week later Baylor thumped the 'Hawks 85-77.
Following Saturday's 79-71 loss at Iowa State, Chenowith said Cycleone freshmen Shane Power and Jake Sullivan, who had combined for 10-of-12 shooting from three-point range that game, probably had no business playing Division I basketball.
"We had trouble telling them off the offensive boards," sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich said about Colorado on Wednesday. "That's going to be hug."
The Javahawks will be facing a Cornhusker team with lots of Division I caliber players on Sunday, especially center Kimani Friend, a preseason all-conference selection, and Cookie Belcher, the Big 12 steals leader. Steffon Bradford pairs with Friend inside to form one of the most dominant front lines in the league. They average more than 16 rebounds per game combined. That stat has Kansas' eve.
The battle on the boards may be even tougher as Kansas will play without Big 12 leading rebounder Drew Gooden for the fifth straight game as he continues to nurse an injured wrist.
especially with Nebraska's big guys and the way that they go at the boards."

Gooden scored 17 points in the first meeting on Jan. 17 that helped Kansas roll to an 84-62 victory. Gregory scored 20 points, and Collison added 16 points and six blocked shots. Cary Cochran's five three-pointers were one of a few bright spots on that night for the 'Huskers as Friend and Bradford were kept in check offensively.
Chenowith, Gregory and forwards Jeff Carey and Nick Collison weren't phased by Gooden's absence on Wednesday as they combined for 35 rebounds against the Buffalooes. Chenowith said that their success was a result of leaving behind the pressure to win — something he said had distracted the team during its recent losing streak.
"You can't be thinking about pressure," Chenowith said. "You have just got to go out and play."

'Hawks limp to Senior Day
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team enters its Senior Day game against Missouri tomorrow in a familiar position. The Jayhawks are faced with shaking the memory of yet another disappointing loss.
Kansas was victimized by Nebraska on Wednesday in a game that appeared destined for a Jayhawk victory until the Cornhuskers erupted with a 23-5 run midway through the second half.
Nebraska rallied for a 49-46 victory and ended any thoughts of back-to-back victories for Kansas, a feat it hasn't accomplished since Dec. 1.
Tough might be an understatement. With the loss to Nebraska, Kansas (10-15 overall and 4-10 in the Big 12 Conference) has lost 15 games for the first time since 1964. And it's not as if the Jayhawks haven't been close. Six of the losses have been by five points or less.
Kansas coach Marian Washington said the Jayhawks had to find a way to forget about the tough loss before facing the Tigers.
Kansas 'game against' Missouri on Feb. 10, in Columbia, Mo., is a good example. After leading by as many
"We're definitely going to have to put this behind us," she said. "It's been a tough season already."
as nine points in the second half, the Tigers came from behind and handed Kansas a 89-84 loss in overtime.
Against Nebraska, the Jayhawks led by as many as 13 points before letting the lead slip away. Kansas guard KC Hilgenkamp said the Jayhawks simply lost their edge after building a sizable lead.
"I think we kind of got to a point that we were a little too comfortable." she said.
Kansas can't afford to do the same against Missouri if the team wants to send its seniors out with a win in their last home game. The Jayhawks will have to contend with Missouri's Amanda Lassiter, the fourth leading scorer in the conference.
The key for Kansas could be Hilgenkamp. The junior scored 13 points against Missouri and has been a big part of Kansas' offense in recent games. She knocked in four of six three-pointers in an upset of then-No. 6 Iowa State on Feb. 17. And she helped the Jayhawks build a 24-19 lead in the first half against Nebraska, hitting two three-pointers and scoring eight points. Her emergence in recent games has taken some of the pressure off the team's three seniors: Jennifer Jackson, Jaclyn Johnson and Brooke Reves.
Lassiter, who leads the Tigers with 20 points per game, totaled 22 in the teams' earlier game.

Record-breaking kicker signs on with Kansas
By Jeff Denton sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
Montey Beachard remembered the first time he ever laid eyes on Kansas signee John Beck, who holds Kansas high school football's all-time field goal record with 28.
football's airtime deal good.
After watching the prodigy's right foot crush the football on consecutive kicks, Kansas City Piper High School's new coach was awestruck. Coaching him, Behard thought, would make his job easier.
"His leg was so powerful and his kicks were accurate," Bechard said.
Everv time Piper's offense crossed the
12
fifty-yard line, Beachard knew that the door had been opened for his team to score at least three points.
"Kicking came naturally. I trusted my leg strength and just tried to attack each ball," said Beck, who also played slotback and safety for Piper.
Beck's range is unusually deep — he kicked a 60-warder in the kick.
Back will compete for first team kicker next season
practice. In his senior season, he attempted 12 kicks from 50 yards or more. He connected on 10 of these tries, the longest being for 54 yards. This combination of strength and accuracy awed Kansas coach Terry Allen.
In high school, a kicker is allowed to use a tee on field goal attempts. This permits greater height and leverage on the football.
"There's a lot of kids out there that can kick the hack out of the football," Allen said. "But there's not that many that can kick the ball like John can. It will be interesting to see how he adjusts to the different rules and competition level of college football. Consistency will be his biggest key."
Place kicking is a question mark for the
"You make an important kick, you're the hero," he said. "You miss it, you probably don't want to show your face around campus for a while. I'll hopefully make more than I miss, but am confident that I can make them when they count the most."
Jayhawks going into next season. Of the three kickers on last year's roster, only Joe Garcia saw game action. His graduation leaves a substantial void. Even though he made nine of 13 field goals, Garcia was remembered more for his last miss than his last good kick. Aware of the kicker's reality, Beck echoed those sentiments.

Columnist seeks sports memorabilia lost in flames
Excuse me if I've been a little out of the Kansas sports loon.
You see, lately I've been pretty fired up. And, I guess you could say, suffering from a severe case of burnout.
My townhouse burned down on Sunday, and with it went everything I owned, including my beloved John Elway poster and my Joe Sakic jersey. I've got nothing.
I haven't been to class in four days, and I haven't slept for six nights. I'm in a new place now, but it's just not the same. Everything that I once owned is now in a pile of ash at 22nd and Kasold. So now, I'm calling out a plea for help. I had some great sports stuff in that room. I'd love to have all of it — heck, any of it — back. So if you have any of the following, please e-mail the sports desk so that I can make you an offer you can't refuse.
1993 Colorado Academy Baseball. In my last game of youth baseball, my coach sent me in to pitch. I never pitched before. I hit three batters in a row — including one girl—and lost the game 18-2, or something like that.
Still, my coach was impressed enough that I didn't hurt myself to give me the game ball afterwards. It was on the top shelf of my closest, covered in about a half inch of dust, when it burned up.
So if anybody was at that game, and happened to keep the ball, let me know. Even if you're the girl I hit.
Terry Towels times two. I don't know how I got these things because I was in the press box at Kansas football games, but somehow I ended up with a bunch of promotional "Terry Towels" in honor of Terry Allen. It's not as though Terry needs the support; it's just that those things made excellent rags for mopping up spilled beverages from the carpet. So, please promotions department — my floors just won't be the same without them.
Luckily, the rest of my Kansas football collection — including my Zac Wegner poster and my Memorial Stadium goal post was saved. Whew.
1991 Denver Nuggets Sweat Rag. Yet another thing that that I don't know how I ended up with. But think of all the legends that wiped their faces in this rainbow-colored cloth while it was on the Nuggets' bench during the forgettable Paul Westhead years! I mean, Todd Lichti probably wiped his brow with this. And Joe Wolf may have even blown his nose with this! Joe Wolff!
Kansan sports pages, every issue for the last three years. Journalists being journalists, and me having an ego, I saved every sports page for my entire college career, hoping that I would make a "Michael Rigg" stringbook when I graduated.
Unfortunately, those sections just added to the flames in my room. So if you have all the Kansan sports pages for the past three years, send them to me. And please, get yourself some help.
■ New York Yankees World Series Champion T-shirts times too many. I hate New Yorkers. But it just so happens that I'm related to one, so every time the friggin' Yankees won the World Series, I got a T-shirt. Unfortunately, these were some of the only T-shirts that I owned, so I actually had to wear the things on occasion. So any of you Yankees fans, if you don't want to see me with my shirt off — and trust me, it's not a pretty sight — send me a T-shirt when you win another title in October.
Losing everything I own is probably the worst thing that's ever happened to me, which also tells me how fortunate I've been. I did manage to grab one thing on the way out the door — my laptop computer, which I used to write this Pulitzer-winning column. But writing is a form of expression, and I'm glad I still have something to do it on.
After all, if I couldn't write anymore, that would have really burned me up inside.

Capricorn (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) — Today is a 6.
Study, practice and learn, but don't trust your new skills yet. Make a few prototypes before you start using the expensive materials. It's OK if the first try has to be thrown out.
Sagittarius (Nov. 22-Dec. 21) — Today is a 6. There's something going on at your house that's not the way you want it. You can have a fit, but that probably won't help. Control your temper and don't break anything. The other person may be right this time.

Rowers on dry land for regatta tomorrow
Members of the Kansas women's rowing team will be back in action tomorrow morning at the Indoor Engometer Competition in Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
The competition, which runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., consists of races on individual rowing machines.
Competitors are broken down according to weight categories and must race the equivalent of 2,000 meters.
"It's basically a full max-out and endurance test for the girls," said assistant coach Heather Galvin. "And it's all about speed, so it's kind of like trying to spring a marathon."
More than 400 individual rowers are expected to attend, representing both the varsity and club teams of different Big 12 Conference and regional schools
Even though this is the sixth-consecutive year the competition has been in Lawrence, the varsity team will not be able to compete for the team total-points trophy after claiming it each of the past five years.
New NCAA regulations prevent the participation of varsity teams in competition before the start of the spring season. Team members are, therefore, allowed to race only as individuals. Club teams, however, are still allowed to compete for the

Providence in Top 25 for first time since 1989
PROVIDENCE, R.I. — Romuald Augustin scored 17 points in 15 minutes as No. 25 Providence routed Division II Banghamton 119-58 last night.
Providence shot 80.6 percent from the field in the first half to take a 61-22 lead.
Marcus Douthit scored 16 points for the Friars, Chris Anrin added 15 on five 3-pointers, Erron Maxey had 14 and Abdul Mills 12.
The Fridays, who entered the Top 25 this week for the first time since Jan. 24, 1989, never were threatened in the game. Coach Tim Welsh used the game as a scrimmage, almost evenly dividing time between his first and second string units.

Providence (20-7 overall and 10-4 in the Big East Conference) prepares for a Big East showdown with Boston College tomorrow, and the winner will take first place in the league's East Division.
Twelve Friars scored in all, as Welsh gave all his players floor time in the contest.
The Bearcats (14-12), which will move up to Division I next season, played a ranked team for the first time ever.
Binghamton scored the game's first points on a bucket by center Joost Ooms. Providence responded with a 13-3 run that forced a Binghamton timeout.
The game was part scrimmage, as the Friars scored at will off layups generated in the halfcourt set. It was also part showboating, as 7-foot-2 center Karim Shabazz brought the crowd to its feet in the second half with a behind-the-back pass in the open court that Mills drained for a 3-pointer.
Providence shot 68.2 percent for the game and held Binghamton to 32.2 percent.

Golf teams off to strong start

The Kansas women's golf team has a little momentum going into its second tournament of the spring season Monday in Pinehurst, N.C.
line Jayhawks will compete at the Carolinas Collegiate Classic after a strong fourth-place finish in the Islander Invitational in Corpus Christi, Texas, Tuesday.
Thayer led the 'Hawks in the Islander Invitational, finishing in a tie for second place. Thayer narrowly missed first place by three strokes, shooting two rounds of 79 on Monday and a round of

6 on Tuesday to finish at 234. It was her lowest tournament score at Kansas, and it was her first Top 10 finish of the year.
"It was really exciting," Thayer said. "I had lots of fun at the tournament. I wanted to try to play at the best of my ability."
Kansas coach Nicole Hollingsworth expected her team to perform well in the tournament.
"I'm not surprised at all." Hollingsworth said. "We had a difficult fall, but everyone's gotten a lot better."
Thayer said the fourth-place team finish should give Kansas a mental boost heading into the Carolinas Collegiate Classic Feb. 26 to 27. It was the team's highest finish of the year.
"Every tournament is challenging," Thayer said. "I think our team has a pretty good chance."
Finishing high will be a bit tougher in the Collegiate Classic. Hollingsworth said she expected a difficult tournament.
"Anytime you play Pinehurst, it's tough," she said. "It's not going to be easy. There are 22 teams in the field and everybody's pretty good."
Men's golf team notes:
- The Kansas men's golf team has moved up in the latest Golfweek/Sagarin College Golf Rankings after its first place finish at the Rice Intercollegiate golf tournament last Tuesday at the Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club in Katy, Texas.
- After starting the season at No. 26, the 'Hawks have moved up to No. 19. Kansas is one of three teams ranked nationally in the Big 12 Conference. Oklahoma State is sixth and Oklahoma is 20th.
- Kansas' 54-hole total of 871 at the Rice Invitational was good for 3 under par, and it lowered their season round average to 290.44.
It was the Jayhawks' second win of the year. They placed first in the Kansas Invitational in Lawrence last fall.
Kansas also has a nationally ranked individual golfer. Junior Travis Hurth is ranked 38th, with a 70.94 stroke average and four top-10 finishes in five tournaments.
The Jayhawks' next action is March 12-13 in the Louisiana Classics Intercollegiate tournament in Lafayette, La.

'Huskers' height threatens Kansas
By Zac Hunter
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
The Jayhawks dominated in the paint in their 91-79 win against the Buffaloes on Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse, but Kansas' task could be tougher when it faces the Cornhuskers at 2:30 p.m. Sunday in Lincoln, Neb.
The Jayhawks (20-5 overall and 9-4 in the Big 12 Conference) had a distinct advantage against Colorado. None of Colorado's starters were taller than 6-foot-9, and the Jayhawks exploited that. Kansas scored 56 points in the paint, while the smaller Buffaloes scored just 22 points in the paint.
"At the beginning of the game we talked about how we wanted to pound it inside and take advantage of our height." said Kansas center Eric Chenowith. "We did, and we capitalized on it."
The combination of Chenowith, senior Kenny Gregory and sophomore Nick Collison accounted for 63 points. Only Gregory played more than 30 minutes.
But there might be something Nebraska can do about that. The 'Huskers (13-13 and 6-7) boast a sizable front-court, which is led by 6-11 Kimani Friend. The senior center is averaging better than 13 points and is pulling down eight rebounds a game.
Ffriend scored a career-high
24 points on Saturday in Nebraska's overtime win, and he also scored 14 points in Wednesday's 65-64 loss at Texas Tech.
Ffriend is complemented in the low post by Steffon Bradford, whose numbers are almost equal to Ffriend's. He is averaging more than 12 points and is hauling in 8.1 rebounds on the season.
Despite Wednesday's setback against Texas Tech, Nebraska has been on a bit of a roll and has won four of its last seven games. Nebraska coach Barry Collier said part of the reason the Huskers are hanging around the .500 level is because the seniors have stepped up and tried to end the season on a positive note.
"I think we've gotten better as the season's gone on and we've gotten into the league," Collier said.
Collier also said Nebraska finally understands what it takes to win in the Big 12 and is doing what is necessary get wins.
If Nebraska is going to continue its winning ways, it will have to get production out of senior guard Cookie Belcher, who was nonexistent in the first game against Kansas. He scored only 10 points on four-of-12 shooting, and was blanked from behind the three-point line in five tries.

The Kansas softball team continues its treacherous early season schedule this weekend with a trip to the NFCA Lead off Classic in Columbus, Ga.
Played at the same venue as the 1996 Summer Olympics, the tournament features a field of 24 including No. 4 Alabama and No. 6 Arizona State.
Softball's tough season continues with top teams
The Jayhawks (6-5) will face the Crimson Tide and Sun Devils, along with No. 24 Massachusetts in pool-play today and tomorrow before elimination action takes place late tomorrow and Sunday.
Kansas will look to rebound from a 1-4 showing last weekend at the UNLV Classic in Las Vegas. The Jayhawks lost their first four games of the weekend, including a contest with No. 1 UCLA, before coming from behind to defeat Southern Utah 7-4 in the final game of the weekend. The comeback was fueled by junior second baseman Amy Hulse's two-run home run, her first in a Jayhawk uniform.
Coach Tracy Bunge was pleased with the character the team displayed this week after a disappointing weekend.
"This group of kids really believes in themselves and in each other." Bunge said. "That goes a long way when you are behind, and in the type of games we have been in this year that means everything."
The road won't get easier for Kansas. The nonconference schedule includes seven teams ranked in the preseason top 25, including four
Softball
of the top six. Then comes the Big 12 Conference schedule, including five ranked teams, one of which is defending national champion Oklahoma.
Junior catcher Leah Tabb has enjoyed playing against the nation's best in the early season tournaments.
"It's a good experience, especially at the beginning of the year," said Tabb, who leads Kansas with three home runs and 13 RBL. "It's going to help us throughout the rest of the season because we're never going to play an easy team from here on out."
In addition to being underdogs, the Hawks are at a disadvantage from a preparation standpoint. The weather has continued to plague the Jayhawks, as the cold has prevented the team from getting its normal repetitions outside.
"That is a disadvantage we have," Bunge said. "Teams we play from the West Coast and South obviously get a lot of work outside, while we have to take reps inside, but that's just something we have to deal with."
Conference play to begin as Jayhawks face the Sooners
Following this weekend's tournament, Kansas will travel to Tampa, Fla., for the Speedline Invitational on March 8-11 before playing host to the Kansas Invitational March 16-18.

Kansas baseball coach Bobby Randall refers to the beginning of Big 12 Conference competition as a completely new season. That new season begins today as the Javahwks take on Oklahoma at 3 p.m.
Heading into the start of conference action, the Jayhawks' 6-1 record tops the Big 12, while Oklahoma's 2-8 record puts the Sooners at the bottom.
Randall said Kansas needed a strong start in Big 12 play.
Eight of the 11 teams in the Big 12 will open their conference seasons this weekend, and Randall said the Kansas-Oklahoma match-up would be one of the most intriguing.
“It’s like a new season,” Randall said. “There’s two seasons. There’s nonconference and conference play. We got off to a good start in nonconference, and now it’s important to get off to a good start in conference play.”
"Oklahoma is a formidable team." Randall said. "They're well-coached and they have most of their players back. I know that they're on a tough spell right now, but as talented as they are that can turn around quickly."
Oklahoma had high expectations heading into the 2001 season, and the Sooners earned a No. 15 ranking in the Collegiate Baseball preseason poll. But they started the season dismally by dropping eight of their first 10 games. They have yet to defeat a Division I opponent and are allowing more than nine runs per game.
The Sooners and Jayhawks have one common opponent this season. Kansas defeated Texas Christian 7-1 in their season-opening game. On Tuesday, the Sooners dropped a 6-1 decision to the Horned Frogs.
Still, senior shortstop John Nelson said Kansas could expect to see a talented and determined Oklahoma squad this weekend.
"We know what kind of ball Oklahoma plays," Nelson said. "They play hard. They've always done that, and they have a lot of tradition and pride there."
Junior pitcher Justin Wilber will start for Kansas in today's game. In his last start,

Wilcher got roughed up for five runs in 4 2/3 innings and got the 5-4 loss to Northwestern, Kansas' lone defeat of the season.
Senior Pete Smart and junior Jake Wright will start tomorrow and Sunday. Both pitchers will be searching for their third wins of the season.
Wilcher, Wright, and closing pitcher junior Doug Lantz all will see their first Big 12 action against Oklahoma. Randall said the newcomers would need to rise to the occasion.
"Wilcher, Wright, and Lantz have all been exceptional in nonconference." Randall. "They're going to have to know that the conference season will be difficult, and they're going to have to step up." Kansas baseball notes.

Kansas will play host to Baker at 3 p.m. Wednesday at Hogland Ballpark. The game was scheduled to make up for Tuesday's cancellation against Rockhurst.
Sophomore indefender Ryan Baty will have shoulder surgery Monday. The surgery will not make a return this season possible.

BIG 12 STANDINGS
Indoor Track
Track team aims to finish strong
By Michael Sudhalter sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas track and field team nears the final stretch of the indoor season at the Big 12 Conference Indoor Track and Field Championships today and tomorrow at the Bob Devaney Sports Center Track in Lincoln, Neb.
On the men's side, the Jayhawks are confident that they will improve on last year's 10th place performance. Coach Stanley Redwine said the team would be ready to post a strong showing at the important meet.
"In the last few weeks our athletes have been performing at their best," Redwine said. "As a team, our goal is to go in and do our very best. We need to control our own destiny rather than another team doing that for us."
Senior All-American Scott Russell, one of five nationally ranked Jayhawks on the squad, is hoping to dominate another weight throw this season. He will also participate in the shot put.
"I'll definitely have to throw it for about 70 feet, but I'm hoping to throw over 75." Russell said. "Coach Redwine has brought in a great staff with him that has revived everyone's attitude about the program."
P
redwine said Russell's goals have gradually become higher throughout the winter season.
"The guy is a great competitor." Redwine said. "At the beginning of the season 72 was a great throw for him, and now he's upset with that."
"Charlie Gruber does not like losing." Redwine said. "He has a strong heart and strong will."
Fellow senior All-American Charlie Gruber will be completing triple duty this weekend. The Denver native will run the mile, as well as the 4x400 and 1,600-meter relay.
Senior Andy Tate, who has provisionally qualified for the NCAA competition in the 3,000-meter run, will be looking for both a good showing and an NCAA automatic qualification. Tate will also compete in the 1,200-meter relay.
Redwine said he was confident that Gruber would place well during this weekend's event.

"It's been a good season. I need to cut four seconds, and if I do that, I'll be in the big show," Tate said, referring to the NCAA's.
Tate said he had enjoyed the sudden success associated with the Kansas track and field program.
"There is a lot of pressure putting a Kansas uniform on because of all the tradition associated with the program," Tate said. "It's been an experience going from last in the Big 12 to number 10 in the country."
TRACK AND FIELD
Other top Jayhawks competing in championship events are senior Jabari Wamble (200 meter and 400 meter), junior Ryan Speers (shot put and weight throw), freshman Leo Bookman (60, 200 meter, and 4x40), and junior Jeremy Hull (pole vault).
In the women's competition, senior pole vaulter Andrea Branson will continue to seek her sixth All-American season for the Jayhawks. Brandon has three indoor and two outdoor All-American honors. Redwine said Branson's past experience would prove helpful in Lincoln this weekend.
"She's healthy, confident and ready to go." Redwine said. "She stands out for the women's team because she's been there before."
Junior Jennifer Foster, who will compete in the shot put, said the team's new attitude would benefit the entire team.
"The program has a new fire and given everyone new inspiration," Foster said. "My passion for throwing went up tremendously."
Senior Jennie Wonder will compete in the 60-meter low hurdles as well as the 4x400 and 400 Distance Relay.
Redwine said the meet should show all of the Jayhawks' hard work during the winter season.
"The athletes are ready to go, and we should see some great performances this weekend," Redwine said. "This is what we have been working for all season, and now it is time to show what we can do."

Jackass successful with MTV's audience
The Associated Press
No: Not even MTV with its sway over the acne set should be held accountable when a teenager, taking a cue from the show's high-jinks, up and sets himself on fire.
CALL TO FIND OUT IF YOU QUALIFY (816) 926-0932
NEW YORK — Yes: Moments of MTV's Jackass are funny.
Yes: You're a natural to join the growing Jackass flock if the sight or mention of fecal matter cracks you un.
No: Despite brazen hints to the contrary, *Jackass* doesn't spell the end of civilization. (On the other hand, what's the deal with the brawny guy in a thong who, underwater, humps a great white shark?)
Airing Sundays at 9 p.m., Jackass is a ragged collection of stunts, pranks and gross-out exhibitionism, all shot in the zero-budget, hand-held style of public access video.
It is populated by creator-host Johnny Knoxville, whose real name is P.J. Clapp, and (in MTV's words) "a bumbling cast of idiots" whose antics meet three rigid standards: 1. Neither taste nor brain power is in evidence. 2. No skill is required. 3. No skill is permitted.
As Johnny Knoxville on Jackass, he, along with MTV, which introduced the series in October, has swiftly turned you-know-what into Shinola.
No wonder. Clapp's Jackass persona is in perfect harmony with the MTV ideal: the mook.
One dictionary defines "mook" as "an insignificant or contemptible person." (What about jackass?) But in advertisers' eyes, the mook is the dream young male consumer.
That's the finding of media analyst Douglas Rushkoff, who explores mook culture on The Merchants of Cool, a Frontline documentary airing at 9 p.m. Tuesday on PBS.
At the moment, the mook is richly represented in the media: The mook is Tom Green of The Tom Green Show, the hosts of Comedy Central's The Man Show, and, unsurpassed as the Great White Mook, Infinity Broadcasting's Howard Stern.
However risky or slipshod the mook's Jackass showcase may seem, never fear — it's safely integrated into MTV's seamless marketing crusade.

Letters to the editor
Editor's note: The following letter has a similar format to the column "Auto racing too dangerous to be athletic," by Amanda Kaschube, which appeared in Wednesday's sports section.
journalism too dangerous to be considered a profession
The simple truth escapes millions of media buffs.
It seems simple enough to me: take a reporter on a last-minute deadline, a modern world fraught with danger and increasingly fewer boundaries, and take away the ability to act with slow and deliberate caution.
Sounds pretty scary, doesn't it? It was deadly for the 36 journalists who were killed in 1999, twice as many as in 1998. Yet despite these odds, journalists keep working and continue to put themselves in danger.
Headline junkies say that the dangers and the risk of imprisonment in other countries make the job that much more exciting - it's the local authorities, not the news media, that are the culprits in the deaths and imprisonment of so many journalists worldwide. New mergers and the spread of news sources on the Internet will most likely boost journalists' level of exposure and increase the demand for even flashier headlines and stories to attract a wider audience.
This is a recipe for even more imprisonings and deaths.
This is why I simply can't understand how journalists, after seeing that at least 139 of their colleagues are imprisoned worldwide, can jump back into their offices, sit down at their computers, and take another shot at reporting the news.
Maybe it's because I just didn't grow up around journalism. Pop used to race motorcycles when he was younger. Flying around an enclosed track, a few feet from the ground – that takes a lot of nerve and real skill to do safely.
On the other hand, it doesn't seem that hard to operate a keyboard and run the spelling checker - it's called typing.
No great ability or nerves of steel necessary. No sweating the deadlines, trying to avoid death in some little corner of the world. No classes; no major requirements. Make sure you have a
nice ergonomic keyboard and mouse pad and you're set.
What a fun "profession."
The news is just not something that was intended to provide people with information, or an ability to exercise political freedom. I just don't see the thrill in actually working in this field.
I've now had two minor brushes with journalism myself. Fortunately, I was proceeding carefully each time, and I managed to walk away safely. Not everyone is so lucky of course, and each time I read the headline about some new political prisoner, I remember to be more cautious and to just stay away from the thing altogether.
I mean, some people get out of prison and start back doing the same kind of reporting that got them arrested in the first place. Getting back in the saddle is one thing, but this is just ridiculous.
Obviously, I don't think that all journalism will just stop, but perhaps more generic reporting and less in-depth coverage would be perfectly reasonable. The fact that Burma is the worst offender in terms of journalists incarcerated doesn't stop the news from happening, but it does make journalists act with more caution and maybe even second-guess running risky stories critical of the government there.
Safety is a number one concern is every job – there's just no sure-fire way to avoid it. Even stricter guidelines would be far from making journalism safe. Media employees have to accept this, but why should they continue to play with their lives?
I do like to read a good book about daring reporters every now and then, but that's just made up stuff. A little danger to the characters is on par with it being just a work of fiction. Tabloids make up their news for a reason.
When the only thing standing between you and a Pulitzer are thousands of other people trying to edge each other out for every story, putting themselves in danger, that's just plain silly.
Jesse Oehlert Haven junior
Column lacked research; misrepresented NASCAR
dangerous to be athletic." Feb. 21). This was quite possibly the most ignorant and poorly timed sports "article" I have ever read. This particular sample of her writing more or less shouted, "I have no idea what I am talking about!"
Her ignorance concerning the sport of NASCAR was clearly evident from the beginning and thickened as the article progressed. On top of that, her arrogance was on display with the statement, "growing up near Chicago, I was surrounded with real athletic talent." And when she referred to Michael Jordan and Walter Payton as "real athletes" was disgusting. She was taking a direct shot at Dale Earnhardt Sr. and all other race car drivers, basically saying she believed they have no talent.
Kaschube obviously has no idea that driving an automobile at speeds in excess of 200 mph does require an incredible amount of skill. Clearly more skill than Kaschube possesses, as she admitted that she had been in two serious accidents at speeds much slower than 200 mph. So, of course, she could not understand the skill required. I would love to watch her attempt to steer a car moving that fast around an oval track, just inches from the wall.
She must not have researched G forces well either or she would have learned a thing or two. Incredibly high speeds, such as those in NASCAR, make moving your head very difficult, much less taking your hand off the steering wheel long enough to shift gears. I also found her statement "Cars weren't designed to travel at speeds so fast that stepping on the brakes to avoid a crash is nearly impossible" very humorous. I wasn't aware that Amanda Kaschube was an automobile designer
I would like to respond to Amanda Kashube's article ("Auto racing too
— my copy of the Kansan clearly says,
"Sports Columnist" next to her name
and photo. Even more amusing to me
was her overlooking that speed is the
exact object in mind when a NASCAR
automobile is designed.
Then Kaschube gave her opinion that "more caution and slower speeds would be reasonable" in NASCAR. Doesn't she think drivers already use the utmost caution when driving? They are moving along at 200 mph, after all. Accidents will happen in the sport. You can't change that. But slowing speeds would take the excitement out of NASCAR, which would obviously hurt the sport tremendously. Why would you
watch from the stands as a car passes at 80 mph, when you know very well that the same car could be passing at 220 mph? Watching the sport would no longer be fun.
The reason that NASCAR drivers continue to "play with their lives" is the same reason that any other athletes do what they do — they love the sport and want to see it progress.
My final complaint with the article was simply its timing. Writing and printing an article denouncing and ridiculing a sport right after a key figure in that sport has tragically died was in the poorest of tastes. Not only should this article not have made it into print because of the poor timing, it should have also been thrown out because it wa a poor piece of writing. Not only was it thrown together by someone who confesses to enjoy sports, in part, because they're an excuse to look at players' butts, but she once owned a Dodge Neon. What could she possibly know about NASCAR?

Crying about celebrities not necessary for fans
Dale Eanhardt was an icon who basically put NASCAR on the map. Recently, the popularity of NASCAR has skyrocketed thanks to him. Whether it was his shades, the No. 3 car, or the nickname "Intimidator," fans loved or hated him. Earnhardt was the Michael Jordan of NASCAR.
Unfortunately, on the last lap of the Daytona 500, Dale Earnhardt was instantly killed when his car took a sharp right run into a wall at approximately 170 mph. I remembered watching SportsCenter on the following day. It showed images of people giving flowers and crying openly. Heck, I saw and heard reports that people cried openly because their favorite driver tragically died. I have no problem with people feeling bad about death. But to break down and cry for Earnhardt's death is just poor.
First of all, many of these people were just casual fans — that's it. They didn't know Dale Earnhardt personally. How can you cry for someone famous who just died and knows him only by watching him on television or at a
game? Sure, some may have met Earnhardt or any celebrity by shaking hands or got their autograph. It's amazing how people out here think they have the big emotional attachment to a celebrity. You can admire the celebrity, but don't feel as though you are as miserable as the deceased person's family members.
I think the only time you cry about death is when someone close to you has died. This includes one's family, friends, pets, etc. I think those who should cry for Earnhardt's death are his family, friends, and the NASCAR "family," not the fans. I am a huge San Francisco 49ers fan in "Chiefs" territory. If Jerry Rice, Steve Young or Joe Montana tragically died, I would feel horrible. But, I am not going to the point in which I just break down and bawl.
I could remember on an August day in 1997 when Princess Diana died in a car wreck. During the next few days, the news showed reactions by different people. I could see bunches of people, especially women, just break down and cry while they put flowers in Princess Diana's temporary residence in New York. I was disgusted on how people are so vulnerable because a clebrity they followed died. That's pathetic. It's OK to mourn her death, but it's unacceptable to cry about it. Again, the vast majority of these people didn't know Princess Diana. If lucky, you might have shaken her hand or something. One might say that because you are so full of sadness there is no choice but to cry. I don't buy it. It shows that you have no self-control. Just because you know a celebrity by watching him on television, doesn't justify crying about his death. You cry for the death of someone you personally know.
The point I'm tyring to make is simple. If you think that your world is at the end because your favorite athlete or movie star died or retires and you must cry to deal with it, get a life. Don't be emotionally attached to a celebrity as though your life depends on that celebrity. It's not healthy. It's OK to have emotions, but there should be a point when you don't let your emotions run wild. Only shed tears when needed, the ones you love, not idolize.

Computers seized in porn sting
Child pornography possibly distributed by KU employee
By Lauren Brandenburg
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Detectives from the Lawrence Police Department and the KU Public Safety Office seized computers from a KU employee's home and office Thursday afternoon on suspicion they contained child pornography. Lawrence police said.
Police obtained search warrants after a
two-month investigation indicated the employee possessed child pornography and had transmitted it over the Internet, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. Mike Pattrick said the examination of the computers would depend on the forensic examiner's schedule. Pattrick said he did not know when the examiner would have a chance to look at the computers. Police will not refer the case to the district attorney's office until the investigation is complete.
Patrick would not release the suspect's name or gender because the suspect has not been arrested. When the police investigation is complete, District Attorney Christine Tonkovich will decide whether to file charges.
Patrick would not disclose the suspect's occupation at the University, but he said
administrators were aware of the investigation.
Kathleen McCluskey-Fawcett, associate provost, said the police told University officials they were going to search the employee's office. She said police always inform the University before conducting a such a search.
McCluskey-Fawcett said that she could not comment because it was a personnel matter and that the University was not conducting an investigation.
Lynn Bretz, interim director of University Relations, said the University was cooperating with law enforcement officials but could not comment about the investigation.
Police would not say how they learned that the employee possessed and had transmitted child pornography or how the investigation started because they were still gathering evidence. Patrick said.
Part of the investigation would try to determine if others were involved in the distribution of child pornography. Pattrick said sometimes people involved in this type of crime worked with other people.
Philip Kissam, professor of law, said the Supreme Court ruled in 1982 that state regulations of child pornography did not violate people's free speech rights. He said he was not aware of any cases that dealt with employers and employees.
Child pornography may not be uncommon, Pattrick said, but the people who deal in child pornography tend to operate in small circles.
"It doesn't come to public light very often," he said.

Child care convenience comes at a cost
By Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Bryn MacQueen visits the Cottontail Room each Tuesday and Thursday at Hilltop Child Development Center. While her mother, Heather, attends classes at the University of Kansas, Bryn, 4, goes to preschool — painting, drawing and cooking with other 3-to 5-year-olds.
The two commute from Lenexa. Both Bryn and Heather's educations wouldn't be possible without Hilltop.
The center provides child care for students, faculty and staff of the University. The on-campus location allows parents to stay close to their children, but the convenience spurs a long waiting list.
It also comes at a price, which some students say is too high. Although Hilltop charges on a sliding scale, those on a fixed income pinch their pennies to keep their children in day care.
"I wasn't going to leave my child far away at a day care," said Heather MacQueen, a junior. "Had I not gotten her into Hillton. I wouldn't be here."
The two receive help for their academic pursuits with a scholarship from Student Senate.
The idea of only being a few minutes from her daughter comforts MacQueen. She said she was lucky enough to get Bryn into Hilltop after it moved into its new and bigger building on Irving Hill Road south of the Burge Union. While Bryn learns at her school, her mom works toward a degree in elementary education.
"It helps." MacQueen said. "It's not a whole lot, but there are so many people applying and a set number of funds. They do what they can to help."
Financial assistance available
Scholarships are provided to Hilltop parents through a variety of sources. Senate has given $25,000 each of the last two years for student families alone. The United Way of Douglas County gives a smaller amount for all parents with children attending Hillton.
Financial Aid and Social & Rehabilitation Services also provide limited scholarships for parents, sald Pat
Pisani, executive director of Hilltop.
Jeff Moran, assistant professor of history and father of two, said it was important to have a day care center on campus. It builds a sense of community and recognizes the changing nature of the working world as both parents work, he said.
The center works to keep the prices reasonable, Moran said. He likes the idea of a sliding scale with those who can afford it paying more than others.
Although he is part of the higher-paying group,he said he felt good about the payment system and those who helped enlarge Hilltop.
"People are very grateful to the Student Senate for helping fund this," he said. "I think it shows something about the char-
actor of KU students."
The center is licensed to hold 212 children, compared to its old building, which was licensed for 146.
Although more children can attend, the waiting list doesn't seem to be shrinking. The list for 1-to-3-year-olds is still long, but things look better for 3-to-4-year-olds, Pisani said.
"It's our crisis right now," Pisani said. "We are caught in the middle. We have people who can't or won't pay an increase in child care, but we have our own bills to pay."
Since moving into the new facility in August, Hilltop has a $81,300 annual bond payment.

with his mom, Lisa Leroux-Smith, assistant dean of business. To leave her first child in the hands of others was a scary thing. Leroux-Smith said.
She weighed a number of different factors before deciding on Hillop. The center's reputation, its on-campus location and the fact it didn't close when the Lawrence public schools did clinched her decision. Leroux-Smith pays the full rate rate for her son and said it was comparable to other day cares — $530 for four weeks.
"It's awesome," she said of the day care. "When he is sick, I can just run right over and get him."
Candidates propose lofty election goals

Both Justin Mills and Jessica Bankston have high hopes for this year's Student Senate elections in April. The two are running against each other for the office of student body president
Bankston, Student Legislative Awareness Board director, said she was excited about campaigning. She is running on theVOICE coalition ticket.
"I thought long and hard about running," she said. "I think Senate does a lot for students, but we could still do a lot more."
Justin Mills, holdover senator, had similar sentiments about running for the office. Mills is running on the Delta Force coalition ticket.
The election process is nothing new to Mills. He ran unsuccessfully for vice president last year. He said the experience benefited him.
"I think there needs to be more ethical leadership here at the University," Mills said. "We need to lead by example, and a lot of times I don't think we do that."
PETER SMITH
Mills: wants to improve minority representation
"It pushed me into a stronger leadership role." Mills said.
Kyle Browning, liberal arts and sciences senator, is Mills' running mate. He described Mills as a down-to-earth person.
"He's really personable, but he's also really on top of things." Browning said. "We need someone like that who is also going to be so responsive to students."
Browning: cited Delta Force's history of clean campaigns
Hunter Harris, Interfraternity Council senator, is Bankston's running mate. He said Bankston was a dedicated senator and would make a dedicated president.
"She's the hardest working woman that I've ever met," Harris said.

Fight fails to derail minority conference
Bv Danny Phillips
Kansan staff writer
Participants of the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government chose not to let a fight that broke out at a party Friday night derail the conference's focus on leadership.
The KU Public Safety Office stopped the party at the Kansas Union ballroom after dispersing the fight. Trevor Cockerill, Union events supervisor, said the ballroom didn't sustain any property damage as best he could tell but he did have to clean up blood from the floor.
The event was open to all college students, not just conference participants. Because there was a question of the role nonconference students played in the fight, the party Saturday night at the Holiday Inn Holidome was open to conference participants only, said Natalie Lucas, Kansas City, Kan., senior and conference co-chairwoman.
incident was unfortunate because it reflected poorly on the conference as a whole.
Courtney Bates, Black Student Union president, helped organize the conference social events. Bates, Lawrence sophomore, said that students didn't allow the fight to overshadow the leadership conference and that she was pleased that participants displayed leadership and positive behavior for the rest of the week end.
Jermee Jones, Topeka senior, described the conference workshops and speakers as phenomenal.
"KU has had a chance to be an impact on 1,000 students from across the country," he said.
"It's sad you just can't come together, interact and have fun." he said.
Iowa State senior Wendell Mosby, who taught an entrepreneurial workshop, said the
The conference not only played host to colleges within the Big 12 and the surrounding region, but participants from as far west as Oregon and as far east as Pennsylvania also descended on Lawrence.
Organizers scheduled 36 workshops during a two-day period, and the topics included diversity, relationships and Affirmative Action.
Mosby, nicknamed "Wimp," owns his own apparel company, Wimp Wear Phations, and led the workshop "Being A WIMP Ain't Easy: Black Owned and Operated."
Mosby said his own experiences trying to launch a clothing line had given him experience he could share with other students.
He invested $10,000 in Wimp Wear Phations last year, and he said he hoped to start earning a profit by next year.
Jones said the highlight of the conference was the keynote speakers, including Bertice Berry, an author and social activist who spoke Saturday night.
"People who don't laugh are constipated." Berry said as she advised students to laugh until it hurts, but not at someone else's expense.
That piece of advice was one of 20 pointers she gave to the crowd that had to do with taking care of one's mind and body and walking in love wherever one goes.

Former football player sentenced to probation
A former KU football player was sentenced to one year of probation Friday for coordinating the robbery of a KU student last June.
Dion Johnson, whose senior season was 1999, pleaded no contest in January to charges of attempted robbery and conspiracy to commit robbery
Johnson will play football in Canada, his attorney said. He argued that the team's drug policy and code of conduct would be stricter than court services' policy and that Johnson had not committed any of the acts of violence in June.
Judge Michael Malone said Johnson had not been the one to hold a gun to the student's head in the robbery but said, "It was pretty apparent in court you were the ringleader. I don't believe the crime would have been committed had you not planned it."
Johnson said he had learned his lesson through the process and would not commit any more crimes.

Professor's father suffers heart attack in classroom
A 63-year-old man died Friday morning after suffering a heart attack in a Wesco Hall classroom where his daughter teaches.
John Keefe and his daughter, professor Leann Keefe, arrived at 8:32 a.m. to her classroom on the third floor when he suffered a heart attack and collapsed, according to Sgt. Troy Mailen, KU Public Safety Office.
The Lawrence-Douglas County Fire and Medical Department received a call at 8:34 a.m. from Leann and were at the scene by 8:39 a.m., said Rob Kort, battalion chief. Medics initiated CPR in the classroom and transported Keefe to Lawrence Memorial Hospital at 9:06 a.m., Kort said. Doctors were unable to resuscitate him.
Keefe accompanied his daughter, a professor of Slavic Languages and Literatures, to her class so he could observe her teaching. The Keefes walked 0.7 miles from her residence at 14th and Illinois streets to campus, Mailen said.
Leann Keefe could not be reached Sunday for comment.
A nursing supervisor at Lawrence Memorial Hospital was unable to say if Keefe had previous heart complications. Leann Keefe could not be reached

T-Rex replica makes way to Fort Hays museum
HAYS — About 200 people attended the opening of the traveling
exhibit, "A T-Rex Named Sue" on Saturday at the Sternberg Museum of Natural History.
The exhibit, which includes a replica of the largest and most complete Tyrannosaurus rex fossil ever found, was opened to museum members and the public Saturday morning.
"She waited 67 million years for this morning," said Fort Hays State University spokesman Kent Steward. "The rest of us haven't waited that long. It just seems like it."
The 45-foot long fossil at the university's museum is an exact replica of the original fossil, which remains on permanent display at the Field Museum in Chicago.
Hundreds of people also waited in line to get memorabilia signed by Sue Hendrickson, the fossil collector who found the dinosaur fossils.

Seven dead, dozens hurt in Mississippi tornado
PONTOTOC, Miss. — A tornado killed seven people, injured dozens and destroyed or damaged hundreds of homes around the city as violent storms swept through the region, authorities said Sunday.
A 2-year-old boy was killed by a tornado in Arkansas.
The storms struck the region late Saturday, but the full extent of damage in rural northern Mississippi was not known until daylight Sunday.
The National Weather Service said the twister cut a 23-mile path across Pontotoc County.
The vast storm system that swept across the eastern half of the nation also dumped more than 20 inches of snow on northern Minnesota. Blowing snow closed hundreds of miles of highways in Minnesota and South Dakota.
Pontococ County Sheriff Leo Mask said his office confirmed two deaths in addition to five people who were dead on arrival at Pontoc Hospital, including a 10-year-old boy. Mask said it was unlikely the death toll would increase.
Mardi Gras riots erupt for second straight day
SEATLITE  — Police in riot gear used pepper spray, rubber bullets and concussion bombs to break up Mardi Gras festivities early Sunday in the second straight day of violence linked to the celebration.
Police said several people in a crowd of about 2,000 threw bottles, rocks and firecrackers at officers soon after bars closed at about 1:30 a.m.
A half-dozen people were arrested,
most on assault charges. One person
was injured in a stabbing, and a
police officer suffered a broken arm.
Some in the crowd smashed cars and store windows and tried to turn over a bus, police said. Police said the violence grew worse after they arrested a man suspected of armed robbery.
Suspected drunk driver kills four in college town
SANTA BARBARA, Calif. — A drunk driver killed four people walking the streets of a small college town, police said.
David Edward Attias, an 18-year-old student at the University of California Santa Barbara, was arrested on suspicion of vehicular manslaughter and felony drunken driving.
The pedestrians were struck late Friday night in Isla Vista, an oceanside hamlet near the university.
Attias was going at least twice the 25 mph speed limit and hit nine parked cars before running over the pedestrians, California Highway Patrol Officer Mike Muell said.
"It went out of control from there and got ugly." Muell said.
Three males and one female were pronounced dead at the scene. Their names were withheld pending notification of relatives, but one victim was described as a 20-year-old UCSB student and another as a 27-year-old visitor from San Francisco.
A 27-year-old San Francisco man was hospitalized in serious condition, Muell said.
Attias suffered minor cuts and scratches.
Bush prepared to pitch budget plan to Congress
WASHINGTON — President Bush is ready to ship Congress an outline of his $1.9 trillion federal budget for next year, which he says would prove there was room for a big tax cut and other priorities.
Democrats beg to differ.
Democratic sg. Bush's fiscal plan would launch a 10-year, $1.6 trillion cut in income-tax rates, the estate tax and other levies, the centerpiece of his domestic agenda.
It would increase spending for schools, defense and biomedical research while paying down a huge chunk of the publicly held national debt.
In addition, it would propose temporary subsidies for prescription drug purchases by low-income elderly people, a near $1 trillion multi-year reserve that could be used to shore up Social Security or for other purposes, and a $5 billion-a-year fund for natural disasters and other emergencies.

Allergies spring up in winter
By Sarah Warren
writer@kanson.com
Kansas staff writer
Josh Ayers claims to be allergic to everything.
"I'm allergic to trees, grasses, weeds, cats, dust," said Ayers, a Colorado Springs, Colo., junior, "everything but food and medicine."
He already spends $20 a month on weekly shots for those allergies, so he considers himself lucky not to be allergic to mold.
Mold is an allergen that recently has been an annoyance for many people, said Randall Rock, physician at Watkins Memorial Health Center.
"We have lots of complaints and concerns about allergies," Rock said. "There have been some people given antihistamine already for allergies."
Rock said that anyone suffering from congestion, either from allergies or from an actual cold, should make sure to check their medicine for a drug
called Phenylpropanolamine Hydrochloride, or PPA. The drug was pulled off the shelves by the Food and Drug Administration in October, and, up until then, had been prescribed by physicians at Watkins. Rock cautioned that the drug was dangerous — causing strokes and seizures — and that a student should not use a medicine that they might have received earlier in the year that contained the drug.
"If someone finds that they have a medicine with PPA, they should throw it out and make an appointment to find another, better-suited medicine," he said.
As far as the recent rash of allergies among students were concerned, Rock said that recent erratic weather conditions were to blame for these early allergy symptoms.
"We've had some cold weather and then some warm weather," Rock said. "And when there's a thaw, there may be some proliferation of some
molds."
For Dale Ziegler, Lenexa Junior, a return to near-freezing temperatures last week posed some relief to early allergy annoyances.
"When stuff kind of thawed this week and last week, I was having some slight problems," Ziegler said. "But then everything refroze and hasn't bothered me since then."
Ziegler said, however, that he had been sick recently, something that Rock said was common among people with seasonal allergies, especially those whose allergies flared up in late winter or early spring.
"When people with allergies are having difficulty, their airways become inflamed," Rock said. "And they may more easily become infected with an upper-respiratory infection. Then, again, it's more difficult to sort things out to know what's an allergy and what's something else on your own right now."

Senior sheds threads and repeats victory at Mr. Engineer contest
Special to the Kansan
Chad Gustin began his successful attempt at defending his Mr. Engineer title as soon as a female in the audience started stuffing money down his boxers.
In fact, most of the audience would have put money on Gustin, Overland Park senior, repeating his victory as Mr. Engineer.
The Mr. Engineer contest which was sponsored by the Society of Women Engineers, capped off Friday's Engineering Expo. Seven men competed for the title in front of an audience of about 50.
The contest consisted of four events — business suit, geek factor, boxers and talent — and each contestant chose three in which to compete. There were winners for each event and an overall winner.
The boxer competition elicited catcalls from the audience, but the real fun began with the talent competition. The engineers proved their prowesses extended beyond the lab and classroom.

Group to educate students about death penalty
By Sarah Warren
Amnesty International has deemed this week "Death Penalty Week" and has planned events to broaden student awareness and support for the abolition of the death penalty.
"We wanted to set aside some time to educate about the death penalty," said Karen Keith, Tulsa sophomore and Amnesty International president. "Thursday is International Day for the Abolition of the Death Penalty, so we wanted to do something for it."
The group will be showing the 1995 film, *Dead Man Walking*, at 7:30 p.m. tonight in Alderson Auditorium. The film is about a
nun who establishes a friendship with a death-row inmate. The group is also posting information about the death penalty and working tables in the union in an effort to get students talking about capital punishment.
Keith said that Amnesty International was opposed to capital punishment in all cases.
"We're really wanting to raise awareness about the death penalty and let people see how unjust it is," said Kyle Browning, Overland Park senior and Amnesty vice president.
Browning said that the use of the punishment didn't fit with the United States' typical views of human rights.
"People assume because of political rhetoric we're always right about human rights," Browning

said. "But that's not true in the case of the death penalty."
Keith said that, in the eyes of some countries, the United States was considered primitive for still using the death penalty.
Paul D'Anieri, associate dean of International Programs, said that European countries tended to see countries that use the death penalty as uncivilized.
"All the countries in Western Europe have gotten rid of the death penalty," D'Anieri said. "In fact, the Council of Europe had threatened to kick Ukraine out of that group because they had still used the death penalty. The Ukraine finally buckled and got rid of it, but if we were a European nation we might have been threatened too."
Keith said he hoped the events would get people thinking about the death penalty.
"We think capital punishment is something that people just accept," he said.

American food a change for international students
By Michelle Ward

Kansas staff writer
Jen VanRuyven's mom adds a special treat to packages she sends the University of Kansas sophomore — a jar of Bics dill pickles. The St. Catharines, Canada, native enjoys the crunchy delicacy she can't find in the United State.
Although the differences between Canada and the United States are subtle, they are present.
For international students from even greater distances, differences in food pose greater challenges. These students must try to merge their own preferences with what is available.
At the same time, they find a new array of food to sample. "I think we have a wider range of food, but America has a wider range of clothes. I miss my food."
VanRuyven said Canada was home to at least 20 different kinds of chocolate, along a with greater variety of chips, including ketchup-flavored. She misses the vinegar that Canadians put on
their french fries and poutine — french fries with white cheese covered with brown gravy.
“It’s the best thing ever.” VanRuyen said of poutine. “A few things here and there, people are like, 'How can you eat that?' But I love them."
Thais Brandao, a Recife, Brazil, sophomore, found the transition much more difficult, starting with the meal schedule.
She said she had always had her big meal in the middle of the day, not at night. It's reversed in her new country, which Brandao wonders about.
"You have a lot of the day left," she said. "It's good to eat a big meal in the afternoon. At night, when you eat a lot, you're full and just go to bed."
Brazilians use fresher ingredi
With Americans' dependence on fast food, it is harder to eat healthy. Brandao said.
She said it's possible with many good vegetables here. She said there were alternatives to fast food culture, but they were harder to find.

"The good thing about living in America is the variety it offers, Ecohomides said.
Although he enjoys Mexican food restaurants and the Mad Greek, a local restaurant that serves Italian and Greek cuisine, he said they put an American spin on their food.
"The Mad Greek is kind of Americanized," he said. "It's good food, but it's not what I'd find at home."
Although he has adapted to American cuisine, he still misses his native food, especially gyros.

Bill will force Senate to take look at itself
Sometimes it's harder to be honest with yourself than anyone else. Student Senate to be experiencing that right now.
seems to be experiencing that right now. Reviving an idea that failed to win Senate approval last semester, a group of senators led by senior Justin Mills is fighting to convince Senate to require that senators at least pretend to care about their constituencies. For two legislative cycles now, they've been tinkering with the bill in an attempt to reduce its opposition.
It might seem surprising — or not, depending on your perspective — but this bill has inspired sizable opposition in the past.
The bill is grounded in the ideal of representative government, the belief that legislators will be concerned about accurately representing the views of those they were elected to represent.
As in the United States as a whole, in the Student Senate, this often doesn't seem to happen. Were you to ask students walking down Jayhawk Boulevard if they've ever met one of their student senators, you'd probably find that they haven't.

Senators would argue this is because students don't care, which is, of course, true. Election turnout in student government

ment elections is even lower than turnout in "real-life" elections. But senators shouldn't be able to get out of it that easily. How much do they try to contact or meet their constituents? For most of them, the answer is that they don't at all — until election season, of course.
Because elections are around the corner, this bill is likely to pass Senate accompanied by heaps of high-sounding rhetoric about representation and concern for constituents. Both candidates for student body president, Mills and Jessica Bankston, are sponsoring the bill.
So if it's probable that people wishing to run with one of their coaltions will happily vote for the bill. Doubtless some sponsors support the bill honestly and whole-heartedly. They believe that senators should reach out to students.
Don't get me wrong; I support the bill. I've voted for it in committee, and I've questioned its sponsors to see how well they've covered their bases. They have good answers for my questions. Since the last reworking of the bill, they've answered even more objections.
I have doubts, though, about whether it will make a difference in practice. I've been in Senate, and I've seen how most senators view their duties. They talk a good game during elections, but when they've earned their mailbox in the Senate office, they become more interested in hitting the bar after meetings than in working for the good of the University of Kansas.
I'm sure I'll anger some senators by writing that — but the ones I'm writing about won't even bother to be angry about it. It's been true for a long time now. A handful of senators write most of the tasks, work with and against the administration and city for the best interests of students. Most senators simply show up at meetings, smirk at each other and vote.
Sometimes they can't even be troubled to vote.
sometimes they can even be troubled to vote — particularly on those nasty controversial bills when the vote is by roll call. It's so much easier to be out of the room at the time.
The bill will pass, and its sponsors will, rightfully, feel good about it. A good number of other senators—the ones who are actually there to vote for it—will also feel good about it because they'll have voted for a nice idea. Not that they really care about their constituents, but after all, they can pretend for a bit — until it comes to doing something substantive.
This is the result I'm hoping for because it will force Senate to examine itself. I hope it's surprised by what it sees. It will see a representative body fighting about whether to maintain contact with its base. It will see a corpulent mass with a few functioning parts — the senators who really do care — but with a great deal of scar tissue hindering real service.
Passing the bill is one step in the right direction, for it prevents senators from hiding in their chairs and avoiding doing their jobs. Hopefully, that waste tissue on the body of senate will get itself into shape. Otherwise, this bill will make it possible to remove it surgically. Senate must pass this bill and begin to ensure that its members do their jobs — unless it wishes to lose what credibility it has.

Statistics stack up quickly against gun-rights groups
I don't know much about guns, but I do know something about the law. Here's a quick lesson: The
Constitution means what the Supreme Court says it means. In the 1934 case United States v. Miller, the Supreme Court ruled that the Second Amendment means that states can have militias, not
that individuals can bear arms.
Many state constitutions contain clauses protecting an individual's right to bear arms. Some don't. Either way, the federal constitution does not.
The founders of this country thought that the question of an individual's right to bear arms was best left to the states. With
John Audlehelm columnist oikansan.com
Republicans' insistence
Why is it that conservatives want to return more power to the states but then look to the federal government to protect what they consider one of their most fundamental rights? Why do Republicans want to arm themselves to the teeth in the name of protecting themselves from the government, but they're the first ones
The typical conservative response to these legal facts is to blindly insist that citizens have a right to bear arms. News flash: The laws of this country apply to you, even if you really, really think they shouldn't.
on states' rights, I would think that they would appreciate the founders' intent.
to vote for more military spending, which arms the government?
I also know a few things about statistics. In 1994, according to the FBI, there were 196 justifiable gun homicides and 9,390 handgun murders.
In the same vein, the New England Journal of Medicine reports that if you keep a gun in your house for protection from home invasion, you are 22 times more likely to use that gun to shoot some body you know than to shoot a criminal.
Say you have two stacks of cards. One has 10 cards, and the other has 200. Each stack includes one random death card that kills you upon choosing it. Now begin picking five cards from just one stack. Which stack do you choose?
Of course, the NRA has its statistics. One of them says that children who are given guns as presents are less likely to be juvenile delinquents and will almost never use their guns to commit crimes.
Gun control is crime control. The statistics clearly show that guns cause more crime than they prevent, and crime prevention and control is the primary responsibility of any government.
We need reasonable gun-control measures that balance the safety of the 9,390 with the (perceived) rights of those silent 196.
Statistics can be refuted, and they can also be impersonal. Even if the chance of getting shot is one in a million, that's a small comfort if you're the one.
On this point, the NRA and I agree. If you're going to give your kid a gun, at least teach him how to use it.

Editorial Students need more facts on e-mail switch
The change to Exchange will benefit students,but many still don't know about it.
A big change is occurring with the University of Kansas' e-mail system. Students who currently have accounts on the Falcon or Eagle servers must migrate to HAWK, otherwise known as an Exchange account, by Thursday, May 31. But many students still don't know this.
The Falcon and Eagle servers are being phased out. All students will now be on one server, simplifying the e-mail system. Moving to the new server will allow students to use Microsoft Outlook to read their mail instead of Telnet.
There are several advantages to using Outlook. It allows students to search the KU e-mail directory from their e-mail server. It allows access to e-mail from any computer with Internet access through Outlook Web Access. Professors can set up public course folders on Outlook, making it simpler for them to contact students. Changing the e-mail system benefits students, but there are also drawbacks.
With e-mail being as vital as it is, students must be made aware of the changes and what they need to do to have their e-mail ready for next year. There needs to be more publicity about the switch. To its credit, the University sent a student-wide e-mail last week to tell students about the change, in addition to other actions to spread the word.
But many students still express ignorance of the switch. Even more say that they know they have to switch but that they don't know how. Still others who have already switched say they don't know how to check their new accounts.
Clearly, a sustained effort to inform students is necessary when the University requires such a major change. Although the University has taken steps to inform students, the number of students who are unaware of what they need to do indicate that it should step up its efforts. It also should provide training to students and faculty, teaching them about Microsoft Outlook.
The Exchange accounts will be beneficial for students. But it is important that Academic Computing Services handle the transfer smoothly as thousands of students attempt to change e-mail.

Letters to the Editor Partial-birth abortion bans can work if crafted correctly
Leaving aside the merits of John McCool's characterizations of the dilation and extraction procedure as a "monstrous act of medical malpractice" ("Partial-birth abortion ban could happen," Feb. 6), I would like to briefly address his reference to the "judicial creativity" embodied in the Supreme Court's decision in Stenberg v. Carhart, and its impact on the legislation cited in his column.
The opinion of the Court identified two reasons the Nebraska partial-birth abortion statute was contrary to precedent. There was nothing at all new (or "creative," as he would have it) about this decision. First, any state regulation of abortion must not present an undue burden on a woman's right to choose prior to fetal viability. The majority opinion goes to great lengths to establish that the Nebraska statute does not effectively distinguish between "partial birth abortions" (dilation and extraction) and dilation and evacuation, a different second trimester method. According to the Court, the statute could have effectively been used to prevent women from choosing abortion past a certain point in their pregnancy — well ahead of viability. This contrasts with the Kansas partial-birth abortion statute, which explicitly excludes other methods of abortion from its ban (as cited in Justice O'Connor's concurring opinion).
The second problem is that the statute did not provide an exemption for the health of the mother. This is required by the Court when the law regulates abortions after the fetus is viable. Nebraska itself recognizes this, as pointed out by O'Connor, who says the state prohibits all abortions when the child has reached viability, "except when necessary to preserve the life or health of the mother."
You may note that the state already effectively prohibits abortions if the fetus is viable. So at this point, we are debating abortions at a point before the fetus is viable. I fail to see how the "partial-birth" procedure is any more "ghastly" than the dilation and evacuation technique, which involves fetal dismemberment within the womb.
Nebraska's attorney general made it clear that the latter technique would still be legal in his state. I think both sound remarkably ghastly and draconian. That does not, however, free legislators to pass laws contrary to the Supreme Court's rulings.
That is the problem to McCool's "solution" to "satisfy the amateur physicians on the Court." The legislation he quoted runs afoul of the same failure to protect the health (and not only the life) of a woman. President Clinton vetoed the law, knowing that had he signed it, it would have been overturned by the Court. The problem is not an overactive judiciary or an overzealous ex-president. The difficulty is that the people drafting laws have no real interest in banning the procedure; instead, they simply play to their right-wing constituencies. If McCool would really like to ban the procedure, he should have proposed Kansas' reasonable partial-birth abortion. Instead, he simply seeks to spread discord — the opposite of the "true consensus" he claimed to be defending.

Animal abuse often signals deep psychological problems
This opinion item is in regards to Brett Rizzo and his alleged killing of a cat named "Mama Cat" at Meadowbrook Apartment complex. The purpose of this letter is not to convict Rizzo. The purpose is to raise awareness of crimes that often go unreported or unnoticed that can signal the beginnings of more serious social and behavioral problems. The victims of these crimes are domesticated animals that happen to be on the receiving end of a human's rage. There are clear-cut cases, such as dog fighting and cock fighting, which are very cruel and often very public. Then there are the more mundane crimes against animals, such as neglect and abuse that often go unreported and can end much as the story of the cat murder.
What some people fail to realize is the severity of the actions Rizzo is accused of. Some people may not look beyond the surface and just see a slain animal and move on because it did not involve a human. The question I pose: Which is worse?
For all their redeeming points, humans often exhibit traits that can move other people to aggression and a somewhat justifiable, if not understandable, response. When was the last time a cat challenged anyone to a fight? From the witnesses' accounts the cat in question was nothing but outgoing. The point of this is, what would stop a person who could attack and ultimately kill a defenseless animal from doing it to a human who could far more easily earn his scorn? Nothing.
The killing was not one of neglect or abandonment — which by no means is excusable — but one of brutality. It was a death of prolonged pain and suffering from being pulled apart and bulgeoned. What would stop a person capable of such an act from harming an innocent child or a person walking home in an alley alone? The FBI has found that cruelty to animals is one of the traits that regularly appears in its computer records of serial rapists and murderers, and the standard diagnostic and treatment manual for psychiatric and emotional disorders lists cruelty to animals as a diagnostic criterion for conduct disorders.
Animal abuse is not the result of a minor personality flaw but a symptom of a deep disturbance. So what can be done? The maximum punish-
So what can be done? The maximum punishment for this crime is one year in jail. But people canable of these acts also need counseling.
Please recognize the seriousness of this crime and crimes like it. They can take many forms. If you see one happening, tell someone. One thing is for sure: Someone who could do these heinous things to defenseless animals will get worse, not better, and needs help.

Kansan paints unfair picture of life in Jayhawker Towers
As a desk assistant for two years at the Jayhawker Towers/Stouffer Place complex, I'd like to respond to unfavorable and inaccurate stories about our complex in recent issues of the Kansan.
I have lived in the Towers for two years and have not seen a cockroach in my apartment. Bug problems may exist, but such problems often are the result of not cleaning one's apartment.
Sometimes, a neighbor's dirty apartment attracts bugs to a clean apartment. This is unfortunate; it is for these cases that we have an extermination service. We spray an apartment only at the resident's request because the chemicals we use are toxic. When residents request this, we provide them with an instruction sheet describing how they need to prepare their apartment. The extermination usually will occur the next Thursday, if the resident has prepared. If not, the extermination will not be done: this protects residents from chemicals. Because this procedure must be followed for each apartment, it is dangerous and impractical to suggest that periodic spraying of the entire complex be done.
There is no time that the Towers are vacant, which would be the only safe time to do a complexwide extermination. Widespread spraying would present not only health risks but also costs to the Department of Student Housing that would be passed on to residents.
The articles also implied that little has been done to combat this problem, which is untrue. Saying that "only recently has anything been done to alleviate the problem" is not only inaccurate — it reveals the reporter's lack of research.
Extermination services have been available for years at the request of residents. One article even outlined the plight of one resident who tried, supposedly time and again, to get her apartment sprayed. In response to that case, the first few times the exterminator arrived, the apartment had not been prepared. Later, our exterminator experienced a death in his immediate family and took time off. He got behind, but he is now on schedule. None of this was mentioned in the article.
The newspaper has portrayed our staff as uncaring, incompetent and detached from our residents. More than three-quarters of our desk staff live in the Towers, so to allege that we don't care is inaccurate and silly. Many of our staff have worked here several years, and we are well-trained.
Our staff has the formidable challenge of getting to know and care for our about 800 residents, a challenge I think that we meet. Of course, some problems exist. But our staff does its best to help residents, and both our RAs and DAs work hard to foster a safe, healthy and fun environment. The Jayhawker Towers Tenants Association provides an open forum for residents to voice their concerns and make suggestions. At its meetings, problems and solutions are discussed and voted upon.
The reporting by the Kansan was one-sided and untimely. The recent death of Stouffer Place RA Shyra McGee upset all of us. But the day after her death, reporters flooded our office with calls about the cockroach story. Shyra's close friends were forced to deal with reporters calling repeatedly, even after they'd explained that only housing officials could comment. The reporters' insensitivity made an already sad and difficult day worse.
I'd suggest that reporters be neutral and not sensationalize a (relatively) small and easily corrected problem. Moreover, I'd ask them not to vilify a staff who works hard and cares. Please realize that many factors make up a story; make an effort to fully understand and report them.

Annual blood drive kicks off today
By Livi Regenbaum
Kansan staff writer
The American Red Cross is teaming up with campus groups to sponsor the "Be a Hero! Donate Blood!" spring blood drive.
The University of Kansas, Interfraternity Council, Panhellenic Association, All Scholarship Hall Council and Association of University Residence Halls are sponsoring the annual drive.
Andrew Bailey, chair of the blood drive for the Interfraternity Council, said it was especially crucial to get donations during this spring's because of the a nationwide blood shortage.
"The goal of the blood drive is to receive 300 units of usable blood," he said.
The blood drive will be from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through Wednesday in the Kansas Union Ballroom, and from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. Thursday and Friday in the McCollum Hall lobby. Donors will receive free T-shirts and Coke products.
Jeff Sneed, donor recruitment manager for the American Red Cross, said although the American Red Cross was on the fringe of having an adequate supply of blood, there were concerns about possible future blood shortages because blood was a perishable item which could only be stored for 42 days.
"Blood shortages depend on the season," he said. "It is a concern that usage is on the rise and the criteria for donating blood is becoming more challenging. If people don't participate on a daily basis, the consequences can become a blood shortage."
SPRING BLOOD DRIVE
through March 2 ;
When: Today through March 2 —
11 a.m. to 5 p.m. today through
Wednesday in the Kansas Union
Ballroom, 1 p.m. to 6 p.m.
Thursday through Friday in the
McCollim Hall lobby.
Jennifer Bacani, vice president for philanthropy and community services for the Panhellenic Association, said she hoped the blood drive would help others.
"One of our goals is to get more pints of blood than in the past," she said. "The need for blood is continually rising."
Sneed said to be eligible to give blood, students must weigh at least 110 pounds and answer a questionnaire concerning criteria regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. He said blood could only be given every 56 days.
Destiny Deitch, Manhattan freshman, said she donated blood often.
"It is the best gift that you can give to someone," she said.
Dana Sibley, donor services specialist for the American Red Cross, said the criteria for giving blood required someone healthy who has never had hepatitis or heart problems.
Madelaine Marchin, also a Manhattan freshman, donates blood every year for the drive. She said donating blood was an important service in which everyone should partake.
"It could save someone's life," she said.

Child care costs pose problems
Continued from page 1A
Money crunch
The one thing that troubled her was the difficulty in finding infant care. Hilltop doesn't accept infants younger than one year old, which meant Leroux Smith had to search off-campus for Braden's day care until he was old enough to attend Hilltop.
She didn't want him in a big group setting, which might not have given him specialized care. She finally found a small day care in a private home but not until after Barden was born.
Infant care simply isn't cost effective, Pisani said. Hilltop is able to serve many more children by not allowing infants less than one year old. Although it may cause problems for some parents, it keeps costs down for others.
Shelly Platz, director of Stepping Stones, Inc., said it was common for parents to struggle to find infant care. Her nonprofit day care has a one-year waiting list for infants and a two-year wait for toddlers.
It charges only what it needs to cover the bills, which adds up to $625 for infants, $540 for toddlers and $465 for four weeks for preschoolers.
tell women to tell me before they tell their husbands they're pregnant," Platz said. "I can maybe help them."
Stepping Stones is one of the few day cares in town that accepts infants. Platz said many didn't because it wasn't cost effective.
Platz said more older children must be enrolled to offset the losses incurred by infant care.
The day care actually loses money on infants because of the ratio of workers to babies. There must be three workers to every baby according to state law, in comparison to one-to-five in the toddler room and one-to-10 in preschool.
Other comparisons can be made with centers like La Petite Academy, which charges $48 to $58 for 1- to 1/2-year-olds and $480 to $500 for four weeks for preschoolers. It doesn't provide scholarships — unlike the Children's Learning Center, Inc, which offers a limited number of

Costs are on a per-day basis and depend on age level, family size and income. Prices increase by a dollar each day if the child does not attend five days per week. An after-school program is also available for $8 per day.

scholarships.
The center can only do so much each semester though, said Tracy Kite, administrative assistant at the Learning Center. The center charges $640 for infants, $540 for toddlers, $500 for 2-year-olds and $445 for four weeks for 3-to-5-year-olds.
Although Hiltop is similar in price to the Children's Learning Center, some students said it was too high a price to charge those a on a limited income.
Lourdes Olivares, Lawrence graduate student in Spanish, spends almost a third of her salary on day care for her 3-year-old, Gabriela. Each month, the divorced mother pays $352 to Hilltop while making $992 as a teaching assistant at the University. She said she has become disillusioned about her return to college.
"I was under the erroneous impression that KU and Hilltop were here to help us," Olivares said.
To alleviate the crunch many students are feeling, Hilltop and the Graduate Teaching Assistants Coalition have united to find a solution. They hope that the University will assume some of the bond's burden, which would allow Hilltop to reduce prices.
"We are looking at different ways to get more scholarship money for parents." Pisani said.

Candidates promise clean campaigns
Continued from page 1A
"We're getting a lot of good ideas," Bankston said.
Mills and Browning said minority recruitment and retention would be one issue they would focus on. Mills praised the work of Marlon Marshall, student body vice president, on the issue of minority recruitment and retention.
"I think Marlon is doing an excellent job right now," Mills said. "But I think this is going to take more than a year to accomplish. I think a lot of students' voices aren't really represented here on campus, and that's a big problem."
In light of campaign problems last year involving stolen signs and newspapers, Bankston said she was going to do everything in her power to make sure her coalition ran a clean campaign.
Delta Force will hold its kick-off party Thursday at The Bottleneck, 740 New Hampshire St. Holstein, The Draft, The Times and Mo-Sys will all be playing. Doors will open at 8 p.m., and there is a cover charge of $5.
"We're just going to document anything we see and give it to the elections commission," Browning said. "We never have and we won't respond when we're the target of things like that. We've always run a clean campaign."
"We spent a lot of time making sure that we could trust the people we're going to run with," she said. "I'm confident that there won't be any problems, and we'll adhere to the code."
Browning expressed similar sentiments.

Saferide needs student drivers
By Amanda Beglin
writer@kansan.com
kansan staff writer
Edited by Melinda Weaver
Being a Saferide driver doesn't just mean hauling around students who have had one too many at the bar. Students can find out for themselves by applying to be a driver.
The Lawrence Bus Company is accepting applications for weekend and evening drivers for Saferide, a car service that escorts students from campus and the Lawrence area to their homes.
Saferide operates every night between 10:30 p.m. and 3 a.m., said Glen Stottlemire, Lawrence Bus Company night supervisor.
Saferide is hiring new drivers because several drivers left during winter break all for reasons unrelated to Saferide, Stottlemire said.
Stottlemire said drivers were most in need for Friday and Saturday evening shifts, the busiest nights of the week. Seven drivers now work this shift.
Brian Long, McPherson senior and Saferide driver, said weekend drivers needed an average of 20 minutes to arrive to a caller once they heard a dispatch.
"there's times when there's not enough people to work the shifts, so not enough cars are running," Long said. "Then it takes sometimes up to half an hour and we can't field all our calls."
Stottlemiire said applicants must be 21 years old and have a clean driving record. The Saferide cars, communication radios and gasoline are all paid for by the Lawrence Bus Company.
The starting salary is $6.35 per hour.
Training to drive for Saferide is rather easy,
Stottlemire said.
"We do a little paperwork, give you a handbook of rules, do one or two hours of on-the-job training, and you're off." Stottlemire said.
Long, who has worked for Saferide for three years, said there were many common misperceptions about the service.
"Most people think we just drive drunk people home, and that couldn't be further from the truth." Long said. "In three years of driving, only one person got sick in my car. And I didn't clean it up. A supervisor did."
Long said Saferide drivers would take passengers who approached the Saferide vehicles rather than calling for a ride, and sometimes would pull over in cold weather and ask students if they needed rides to their homes.
Long said a lot of caffeine and a talkative personality helped him get through his shifts.
"With a positive attitude, this can be a lot of fun," Long said. "I've had so many conversations with culturally diverse people. I've talked to people from Russia and Kenya."
But there is one passenger Long wishes he could drive.
"I keep waiting for Chancellor Hemenway to call," Long said. "I want to take the Chancellor to his home. That's my goal."
For more information about being a Saferide driver, contact the Lawrence Bus Company at 842-9638 between 5 and 10 p.m. Monday through Friday.

Students seek subleasing help
By Sarah Warren

Kansan staff writer
Justin Brewer's four-bedroom house may just ruin his summer vacation.
The Wichita sophomore, along with his roommates, is trying to sublease the house at 2005 Mitchell St. for this summer. They are just a few of the early birds trying to sublease their apartments and homes for the break.
But Brewer said finding summer tenants wasn't going as well as he thought it would.
Brewer and his roommates notified Master Plan Management, 2619 W. Sixth St., their landlord, last semester but have found that even the most well-prepared sublessors can have difficulties.
"We knew that we were leaving in November," Brewer said. "So we told our landlord that if people inquired about it that this house would be available."
Three weeks ago, Brewer and his roommates put up fliers in Wescoe Hall.
No calls came about the house.
"I tried posting subleasing forms in the dorms," Brewer said. "But the housing people wouldn't allow it."
"We have to find a sublessee. We all have plans with trips and stuff this summer." Brewer said. "It's not worth it to pay two months rent if we won't be here."
Kevin Beacom, Omaha, Neb., sophomore, also put up fliers three weeks ago to sublease his two-bedroom apartment at Highpointe Apartments for the summer.
"From what I've heard, it'll be very difficult to find anybody," Beacom said. "The most difficult part so far is finding people who want to stay here over the summer."
Beacom said that he paid First Management, 1800 E. 23rd St., which owns Highpointe, $150 to be allowed to sublease, however he said that he received little assistance from the apartment complex.
"They help us out a little bit, but all the advertising is up to us." Beacom said.
However, Kevin Ballew, leasing consultant for First Management, said that the $150 charge was not specifically for sublessors but rather, for anyone who broke their contract with the company.
"Basically, the cost is to get out of their lease," Ballew said. "But they don't have to pay until they find someone to take up their lease."
Brewer said that he, too, had received little help from his landlord, but that Master Plan did not require that he and his roommates pay a fee to sublease.
"They don't help us out at all," Brewer said. "We're just on a list of available places."
Beacom said that the people from First Management that he had spoken to had seemed confident about finding a sublessee for the summer months, a statement that Ballew backed up.
"It isn't really too hard at all," Ballew said. "You have a lot of people come to KU for summer school and things."
Brewer said that he hoped it would be as easy to sublease his house as Ballew had claimed it was to sublease an apartment.
"If I don't find someone to rent this place out, it'll ruin my summer," Brewer said. "One of my roommates got a sailing boat this year and so we're going to sail the Florida Keys, but if it doesn't go then I might as well stay here and work."

Filing reports easy for students

Kansas staff writer
When Robert Sandlin discovered his car had been kicked in, he said he knew immediately what to do. He called the Lawrence police.
"I think a lot of people put it off," said Sandlin, Ellis sophomore. "It's convenient to drive home and worry about it tomorrow, but you need to do it right away."
Sandlin is just one of many University of Kansas students who have filed police reports this school year. Yesterday alone, police released three reports filed by students for various crimes.
For someone filing a police report for the first time, the process can be confusing.
Sandlin said he wasn't sure what he needed to file the report, but the police officer asked specific questions and the process was not confusing. It took about 10 minutes, Sandin said.
Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Patrick said people were better served when they could provide details about the crime.
What someone should bring to report a crime depends on what the person is reporting, Patrick said. For anything relating to a car, the person should bring the car's registration.
It is helpful to bring a piece of identification so the police know exactly who they are talking to and can copy down basic information like addresses and name spellings, Patrick said. Copying down the information saves the officers time because it is quicker than asking all of those questions, he said.
If someone is reporting a forgy, the person needs the complete affidavit and the account numbers for the affected accounts, whether they are bank accounts or credit card
"When someone has 250 CDs stolen, it helps us to get as many artists and
album names as the person can recall because sometimees when people try to sell them,they try to sell them in bunches."

Patrick stressed that information was key to the reporting process.
"When someone has 250 CDs stolen, it helps us to get as many artists and album names as the person can recall because sometimes when people try to sell them, they
try to sell them in bunches," he said.
Providing information about possible suspects can also make the process quicker, Patrick said.
Filing a report can take anywhere from five minutes to five hours, he said, depending on what is being reported. People can file reports 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
When Sandlin filed his report, he said he called the station and an officer arrived within five minutes.
Danny Lessle, Shawnee freshman, said filing a report about his stolen cell phone was pretty easy.
"I just called, and they asked questions like my name and where it was stolen," Lesslie said. "I just had to get the case number for my insurance company."
He said the process took 10 minutes and was easy to do on the phone.
Labor profile survey to aid future city development

Student impact to be measured

The Lawrence Chamber of Commerce, aided by the city and the county, will conduct a labor profile survey to determine the demographics that make up Lawrence's work force.
"We're looking at a variety of child care needs, under-employment or over-employment," Sepic said. "This truly will help drive decision making."
Bill Sepic, president of the Chamber of Commerce, said the survey would help the city plan for other issues related to the work force.
Sepic is the Chamber's liaison to Ecosquared, a task force concerned with the environment and economic development.
Sepic said the labor survey
would tell the city what kind of jobs Lawrence has and what kind of jobs the city needs. He said it would help the city when making decisions about future developments.
Kate Michaelis, economic development administrative assistant at the Chamber of Commerce, said the survey would determine for the first time what economic role students played in the city.

the work force," she said.
Sepic appeared before the City
Commission Tuesday night to ask the city to contribute $15,000 toward financing the survey. All five city commissioners voted to grant money to the survey.
The county, city and Chamber of Commerce will share the $35,000 cost of the survey.
The city and the county will each contribute $15,000 and the Chamber will contribute $5,000 and 120 hours of volunteer staff time.
Sepic said that when completed, the survey would offer a
snapshot of the Lawrence work force. He said it would remain a valid profile of the city work force for about three years, and then a new labor profile would be needed.
The survey will be distributed to 400 local employers, as well as adult employees in Lawrence and Douglas County. The project will also survey adults that work from home.
The survey will be finished midsummer 2001, Michaelis said. Edited by Jason McKee

Voters will go to the polls tomorrow to vote in the first round of Lawrence City Commission elections.
Interest in local government is so great this election year that twelve Lawrence residents are running to fill three open spots on the commission. Primaries are needed to whittle the twelve candidates down to six who will be on the ballot for the final election in April.
Two University of Kansas students are vying for a space on the commission. Jennifer Chaffee and Brett Logan both said that they felt compelled to become formally involved in local government because they felt the commission was not sensitive to issues that affected students.
But other candidates have also taken up advocacy for students as part of their platforms.

hoods. All three said they felt that more revision was needed to make the ordinances work for the community, but that a three-person limit was a fair compromise between the former limit of four people and the proposed limit of two people.
Critics of the recently-passed housing ordinance have made the cost and availability of housing an issue in the elections.
All three incumbent candidates, Erv Hodges, David Dunfield and Marty Kennedy, voted for the threeperson limit on unrelated people allowed to live together in a residence in single family neighbor-
Candidates also have addressed the future of economic growth and the physical growth of the city.
Commissioner Hodges said he supported economic growth that was responsible and brought the city jobs and industry.
Bricker said that the city needed to stop housing and industry developments growing on the western edge of Lawrence.
Other candidates disagree.
"Stop growth entirely," he said. Other issues facing the commission candidates are tax abatements, public transportation, school funding and preservation of neighborhood schools, restoration of neighborhood in the city center, the completion of the South Lawrence Trafficway and upgrading city services such as waste management to deal efficiently with a growing population.
"Stop growth entirely." he said.

Ninth place good start for track teams
I know that as University of Kansas students we're pretty brainwashed into believing that the only sport from November to March is basketball and that all other athletic events dissipate into thin air.
but, just for the length of my column,
I'd appreciate it if you could forget about basketball just for a second. I want you to devote your b-ball ravaged brain to another worthy sport — track and field.

KANSAS
Yeah, I know the Kansas Relays aren't for another two months, but your track and field team has been hard at work competing since January. Yeah, January. And, no, the Jayhawks haven't been freezing their buns off running around Memorial Stadium all winter. They've been nice and cozy in Anschutz Sports Pavilion. This weekend all their hard work in that building paid off at the Big 12 Indoor Track and Field Championships in Lincoln, Neb.
Both the men's and women's teams finished ninth.
And you know what? That's cause for celebration, considering last season they finished 10th and 12th, respectively.
In fact, first-year coach Stanley Redwine said the meet was "a great weekend for the future of the team."
Warren is an Overland Park sophomore in journalism and Spanish.
I can't tell you how much I love hearing that. The track and field team has to be one of my favorite Kansas teams and, unfortunately, one of the most underappreciated teams at the University.
Yeah, okay, I know what you're thinking, "Why should I be excited about some teams that placed ninth in a 12 team field?" Because the Big 12 is one of the toughest conferences in the nation. Ninth place is unquestionably good.
And to place ninth in this conference, a team has to have some pretty darn good athletes.
These athletes deserve recognition. I've picked some of the best so that, even though you've probably missed their indoor action, you just might remember their names when the Relays roll around.
Charlie Gruber — This Arvada, Colo. senior kicks some serious middle-distance butt. The All-American placed first in the mile at last year's Championships with a time of 4:04.78, went to the Olympic Trials and was the only Jayhawk to head out to the Golden Spike Invitational earlier in the indoor season. This year he placed third in the mile with a 4:05.94 effort and was a leg in the men's first-place distance medley relay.
■ Andy Morris — He ran, jumped and vaulted his way up the rankings in this year's heptathalon, placing second with a personal-best total of 5.468 points. Last year he didn't do too shabby either, placing fourth with 5.391 points. Oh, and when it comes to outdoor he's pretty awesome, too. He's the reigning Kansas Relays and Big 12 decathlon champ.
■ Scott Russell — The guy's a hoss, and a nice Canada one, too. The senior is Canada's national champion and should have gone to the Sydney Olympics to compete in the javelin if the Canadian Olympic Committee wasn't so cheap. He won the 35-pound weight throw this weekend after red-shirting last indoor season. Watch out for him in the outdoor season because if he weren't so nice, he might just pierce your heart with a razor sharp javelin if you pissed him off.
With these seniors leading the way, the Kansas track and field team is movin' on up in the world, my friends. And its twin ninth-place finishes are just the beginning.
Andrea Branson — Andrea's easily one of the most talented female athletes at Kansas. She finished second in the Big 12 in the pole vault for the second year in a row and she's the school record holder in both the indoor and outdoor pole vault. And she can kick butt in the classroom, too — she's a smart smart soon-to-be engineer.

LINCOLN, Neb. — The two iowans on the roster put No. 11 Kansas back in the hunt for the Big 12 Conference title by leading the Jayhawks to a 78-74 win against Nebraska yesterday.
Sophomore point guard Kirk Hinrich, from Sioux City, Iowa, nearly recorded a triple-double as he scored 20 points, dished
out 11 assists and grabbed seven rebounds for the Jayhawks. Sophomore forward Nick Collison, an Iowa Falls, Iowa, native, added 22 points and blocked five shots in the win.

own the tie-breaker against Kansas.
Cookie Belcher led all scorers with 29 points and four steals for Nebraska (13-14 and 6-8). Cary Cochran scored 14 points and Steffon Bradford added 12.
From the beginning, Nebraska showed no signs of a repeat performance of its 22 point loss in Lawrence on Jan. 17. In fact, Belcher hit two three-pointers in the first two minutes, leading the 'Huskers to an early 8-5 lead. Junior forward Jeff Carey replaced Eric Chenowith, who was in early foul trouble, and scored seven of Kansas' next 14 points.
"Coach said that when someone's hurt the rest of the team's got to pitch in and make up for that guy." Carey said. "I was just trying to do my part."
Collison, Hinrich and senior forward Kenny Gregory kept the 'Huskers at arms length throughout the second half as each hit big shots that halted numerous Nebraska charges.
A Collison jumper and Hinrich layup sparked a 12-2 run after the 'Huskers cut the lead to 41-39 early in the second half. Then, after Belcher back to-back three-pointers, Gregory answered by hitting two of his own.
Nebraska hit 12-of-27 three-pointers, bu Kansas shot 69.6 percent in the half and 57.7 percent from the field in the game.
"They kept making some big shots, and the great thing about it in the second half when they made a shot we'd come down and we made some big shots, too," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "Eric Chenowith made three or four big hoops for us, Kenny Gregory made two big three's. Luke Axell made a big basket for us on the baseline, and Kirk Hinrich made some big shots. You can go all the way down the line."
Kansas led by 10 points with eight minutes left, but the 'Huskers never burnt out. Instead, they heated up.
Belcher sank a free-throw that cut the lead to 74-71 before Collison and Hinrich hit four-of-six free-throws that iead the win.
"Everybody contributed today, and it's great when everybody does that and you get the win," Hinrich said.

Belcher scores career high

Kansan sportswriter
The Nebraska senior saved his best for last.
In what was possibly his last meeting with Kansas, barring a meeting in the Big 12 Conference Tournament, Cookie Belcher did everything he could to give the 'Huskers a shot at the win in their 78-74 loss to Kansas on Saturday in Lincoln, Neb.
Unfortunately for Belcher, his supporting cast didn't do as much. While the Nebraska offense stalled in the first half, Belcher shined, scoring 14 of his team's 31 points.
He finished with a career-high 29 points,
most of them coming from behind the
three-point arch. Belcher buried a lethal 7
of 11 three-pointers, which tied a Nebraska
record and set the school record for most three-pointers made in a conference game. It was also the most points scored on Kansas by a single player this season.
With his team trailing by 10 points midway through the second half, Belcher put the 'Huskers on his shoulders and got them back into the game.
Although Belcher lit it up from the outside in both halves, his backcourt counterpart Cary Cochran got into the mix in the second half and helped Belcher keep the 'Huskers in the game.
He buried successive three-pointers and pulled Nebraska to within eight with 10:58 left in the game. But every time Belcher pulled Nebraska closer, Kansas made a run and extended the lead.
"You work hard to get open and make some shots," he said. "And you think everything is going good. Then they come back and hit a big shot."
that reversed what had happened in Lawrence — Belcher hit only 4 of 12 shots and scored just 11 points. Meanwhile, Cochran rained long-range jumpers on the Kansas defense, scoring 17 points in the loss in Allen Fieldhouse.
"I think in the second half, both Cary and I were feeling it." Belcher said.
Cochran scored only five points in the first half, which was the most by anyone other than Belcher. But Cochran nailed three three-point shots in the final 10 minutes, which gave Nebraska a chance.
Nebraska's hopes for the upset were dashed, but Belcher said there was reason for optimism.
"I see that we're still working hard and we're not giving up," he said. "I'm proud of our team today. We were still a little short."

This weekend's Oklahoma-Kansas baseball series had the appearance of a boxing match, and Oklahoma was the prized fighter.
The Sooners (5-8, 3-0) swept the Hawjaykhs (6-4, 0-3) by winning 10-9 on Saturday afternoon and taking both games of yesterday's doubleheader 4-3 and 10-4.
Kansas led in all three games, but Oklahoma answered every Jayhawk punch with a stronger swing. Kansas
coach Bobby Randall was disappointed in the teams' inability to hold a lead.
"We played some good baseball today and yesterday, and we fought hard," Randall said after yesterday's games. "We got after them, but we just couldn't hold a lead."

Jayhawks jumped out to a 3-0 lead after three innings. After the Sooners tied the score at three in the bottom of the third inning, Kansas exploded for five runs in the fifth.
The Jayhawks' five-run lead evaporated as the Sooners answered with five runs of their own in the bottom half of the fifth. Oklahoma scored the game-decider in the eighth on a Charlie Frasier solo home run off Kansas reliever Dan Olson.
Randall said he was concerned with Oklahoma's immediate answers.

Kansas took a 3-1 lead into the bottom of the ninth, but closer junior Doug Lantz surrendered three runs in the ninth as Oklahoma ralled in its 4-3 victory.
"Everything was wORKing for me," Wilcher said. "I wish we could've won, but that's the way baseball goes sometimes."
In the final game, Kansas jumped out to an early lead, but Oklahoma won 10-4.

MLB
PHOENIX — The Los Angeles Dodgers traded a disgruntled outfielder Devon White on Sunday.
The Dodgers sent White to the Milwaukee Brewers for Marquis Grissom and a minor league player to be named.
Dodgers trade White to Milwaukee Brewers
"I think this deal with work out for both parties." Grissom said.
Grissom will make $5 million this season and next. White will make $5 million this season and has a $900,000 buy-out at the club's option for 2002. So, the Brewers could clear $4.1 million from their books.
White apparently was unhappy that the Dodgers planned to use him as a fourth outfielder — but that's precisely what the Brewers intend to do.
SCORPIO
"I just spoke with him and he's excited about coming to Milwaukee and Miller Park. We expect him to be a solid fourth outfielder," Brewers general manager Dean Taylor said.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Frank Thomas didn't work out for a fifth straight day Sunday, and the unhappy
Thomas still a no-show at White Sox camp
Chicago star had another telephone conversation with White Sox manager Jerry Manuel.
Thomas claims his $9.9 million salary is too low, especially when compared to Alex Rodriguez's $252 million, 10-year contract with Texas.
"I understand he and Jerry had a very encouraging conversation," general manager Kenny Williams said, adding he hoped Thomas would be in camp by Tuesday, the mandatory reporting date under baseball's collective bargaining agreement.
Manuel told reporters there was "no news" on the Thomas front and declined to discuss his Saturday night conversation with the first baseman.
XFL
Ratings drop again for fledgling league
The preliminary TV ratings for the fledgling football league jointly owned by NBC and the World Wrestling Federation plummeted further for the fourth Saturday night telecast, losing another 24 percent from the week before.
NEW YORK — At this rate, only a handful of people will be tuning in to the XFL by the end of the season.
It's the sort of free-fall that might result in cancellation for a network sitcom or drama.
Saturday's 2.9 overnight rating for the New York/New Jersey Hitmen's 13-0 victory against the Chicago Enforcers means only an average of 2.9 percent of U.S. television households in the country's 49 largest markets were watching at any given moment.

Earnhardt Jr. crashes on first lap
The Associated Press
ROCKINGHAM, NC — Dale Earnhardt Jr. crashed on the first lap of the Dura Lube 400 on Sunday, shortly after a moment of silence for his father, who died a week ago at Daytona. The son was bruised but not seriously injured.
"We're doing all right. That's for everybody back home," he said after being released from the infield medical center.
Earnhardt Jr., in his second full season driving on the Winston Cup circuit, started 25th in the 43-car field.
The cars were still tightly bunched heading into the third turn on the 1.01-mile North Carolina Speedway
oval when it appeared rookie Ron Hornaday Jr. bumped the rear of Earnhardt's Chevrolet, sending it into the car driven by Kenny Wallace. Then it went nearly head-on into the concrete wall, setting off a six-car wreck.
Jimmy Spencer, Mike Wallace and Hut Stricklin were also caught up in the crash.
"I got bottled up going into (turn) three and somebody got into the back of me," Earnhardt Jr. said.
The 28-year-old driver got out of the car on his own and limped across the track to an ambulance for the ride to the medical center.
"It was just like a traffic jam,"
Kenny Wallace said. "Everybody was wanting the bottom of the race track and somebody got into the back of Earnhardt and got it starting. It was a bad deal."
Earnhardt Jr. said he had been looking forward to racing again after the long week since his 49-year-old father was killed on the last turn of the last lap of the Daytona 500.
"I guess we'll just have to wait and get ready to go racing next week in Las Vegas," he added.
The start of the race had been delayed 1 hour, 33 minutes by rain. After the first-lap crash, the race stayed under caution for an extended period when rain again began falling.
NASCAR fans see first race without Earnhardt
The Associated Press
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. — Sunday was 5-year-old John Estle's first chance to watch a live NASCAR race. It was also his first lesson in dealing with death.
"What happened to Dale Earnhardt?" his mother, Tina, asked the boy in the Hot Wheels pants and red plastic hearing protectors as they sat waiting for the race to begin at the North Carolina Speedway.
The boy looked up from his black-and-red Earnhardt banner. "He got hurt," John said, "and
John didn't see last Sunday's crash at the Daytona 500 that killed The Intimidator, but this was the closest thing John has had to a death in his family, said Tina Estle, his mother.
A pall hung over the track Sunday as many fans prepared for their first race ever without Earnhardt. The mood darkened even more when Dale Earnhardt Jr. wrecked on the first lap.
"I said, 'Oh my God, not him. Of all people not him,'" said Pam Solomon, who comes from the senior Earnhardt's hometown and
was videotaping at the turn where his son wrecked.
Earnhardt Jr. suffered only bumps and bruises.
On the ractetack grounds, stillstunned fans walked around wearing T-shirts with Earnhardt's portrait and the inscription:"1951-2001." Outside the main gate, a granite boulder inscribed with the names of past Winston Cup champions was transformed into a massive memorial, although it bears the names of more living drivers. Bouquets, presents and testimonials were piled beside it.

Senior Day ends on a low note
By Jessie Mever
sports@kansan.com
Kansan sportswriter
Saturday was when everything was supposed to go right for the lady Jayhawks.
the seniors — Brooke Reves, Jennifer Jackson and Jaclyn Johnson — would play their last game in Allen Fieldhouse in front of family and friends, walking away with the sweet memory of victory ingrained in their minds forever.
But just as the rest of the season has unfolded for the Kansas women's basketball team, things did not go according to plan against the Missouri Tigers Saturday in 69-55 loss.
On a day filled with the emotion and sadness of reaching the end of an era for three Kansas seniors, the Jayhawks (10-16 overall and 4-11 in the Big 12 Conference) lost to Missouri (18-8 and 9-6) for the second time this season. It was the first time the Jayhawks have lost on Senior Day since 1990.
"We really wanted this win, and it just didn't fall for us tonight," Reves said. "We tried to rally but we just couldn't hold on to it, and it slipped away from us."
The Jayhawks were down by as many as 22 points in the first half with Reves and Johnson both on the bench in foul trouble. The Jayhawks, trailing by 17 points at halftime, had dug themselves a hole they would never crawl out of.
They didn't go down without a fight.
though, Johnson came to life in the second half, playing with the three fouls she picked up in the first half, scoring 18 of her game-high 21 points.
"I was a little upset after the first half," Johnson said. "I just felt like we weren't doing what almost won us the game down in Missouri and that's put the ball inside."
When Kansas began to pound the ball into Johnson, the Tigers started to find foul trouble of their own, and the 'Hawks were able to convert four three-point plays in the second half.
But despite an 11-2 run that helped bring the game within 11 points, the 'Hawks just couldn't get out of the ditch they had dug.
"We lost our intensity for a second, and it slipped away," Reves said. "It was always a fight, always a struggle, always going against the grain."
Saturday's game was about more than just winning or losing for the Jayhawks. It was about saying goodbye to seniors Jackson, Reves and Johnson, along with redshirt junior Nikki White, who has opted not to return for her last year of eligibility because of an injury.

"We went in the locker room, and I basically didn't say anything about the game," Washington said. "It's really about these seniors and trying to celebrate what they've meant to this program."

Rowers trade water for dry land in contest
By Jay Mullinix sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
For a few hours Saturday afternoon, members of the women's rowing team traded competition on the open water for dry land, racing in the Indoor Ergometer Championships at the Anschutz Sports Pavilion.
The competition, which divided contestants by age and weight, consisted of 2,000-meter races on individual rowing machines, called ergometers. The top 30 rows in both the men and women categories also competed in a 500-meter sprint race at the end of the day. Competitors were divided into two age groups — younger than 20 years old and 20 or older.
Along with the Jayhawk rowers, more than 350 other men and women representing varsity and club teams from various Big 12 Conference and other regional schools were in attendance.
COLLEGE OF SPORTS
For the rowers, the meet proved to be one of the most demanding endurance tests of the entire season.
Despite the pain, Hickey still managed to take home a silver medal in the Women's Under 20 Openweight race with a time of 7 minutes. 24.2 seconds as well as a bronze in the 500-meter sprint race with a 1:38.5 time.
"This is like rowing, take away all the nice scenery and being outside," said freshman Beth Hickey. "It just completely drains you because you're not working with the team. It's just you versus the clock and a stupid machine."
Also medalging for the Jayhawks were sophomore Mary Koboldt, who took the gold in the Over 20 Lightweight race (7:43:32); senior Heather Muir, who won the silver in the 500-meter sprint (1:38:22); and freshman Beth Olson, who earned a bronze in the Under 20 Openweight race with a 7:26 time.
Kansas coach Rob Catloth said he was pleased with the efforts of the Jayhawk rowers.
"We were just looking for solid individual performances and we saw some good ones here today, so I'm happy with how it went," he said.
Assistant coach Heather Galvin said that because the competition was so

individually focused, the pressure factor is much higher for the rowers.
"I think the girls feel a little more pressure for this," Galvin said. "In a normal race you're in a boat, rowing as a team against other teams. Here it's just you by yourself and the erg."
New NCAA regulations served to heighten the focus on individuality. The new rules prohibit varsity teams from competing before the start of the spring season. All varsity rowers were, therefore, required to compete as individuals.
Because of the new rules, the team total points trophy, which Kansas had claimed each of the past five years, was awarded to the top club team in attendance. The Kansas State club team earned the trophy Saturday with 318 points.
The Jayhawks now have a monthlong break before their first regatta of the spring season Saturday, March 24, when they take on Texas in Austin, Texas.

Track teams finish ninth at conference championships
Edited by Jay Pilgreen
The Kansas track and field team finished ninth in both the men's and women's competition at the Big 12 Indoor Championships in Lincoln, Neb. last weekend.
The Jayhawk men finished fewer than 10 points out of sixth place as Nebraska, Texas A&M and Texas rounded out the top three.
Coach Stanley Redwine said he had mixed emotions about the meet.
"We had some disappointments in some events, but on the other hand we had some great performances," Redwine said. "We still need to work harder and learn how to compete at a level like this."
Junior All-American Charlie Gruber scored points with a thirdplace finish in the mile — 4 minutes, 5.94 seconds. Senior Andy Morris placed second in the heptathlon with 5.486 points. The Jayhawks also benefited from senior Andy Tate, who took third in the 3,000 meters, and senior Jabari Wamble, who finished fifth in the 400.
Wamble said he worked hard to get points for the team in the 400-meter dash.
"It's a business thing for me," Wamble said. "I think we wanted to get to points out of the 400 and I did that."
In the women's competition, the Jayhawks posted 32 points along with their ninth-place finish. Nebraska won the meet followed by Texas and Kansas State. Coach Redwine said he was pleased with the women's team effort.
Junior Brian Blachly also gave Kansas two points by finishing seventh in the 1,000-meter run.
"The women did excellent," Redwine said. "We came in thinking that they could score 31 points
and they scored 32 points. Everyone stepped up and did their best."
Senior Sherre-Khan Blackmon placed seventh in the 600 yard dash in 123.90.
Blackmon said her previous experience in the conference meet
Dennis D. Koehler
"Since I was here last year, I felt like I had a bit of experience coming into the event." Blackmon said. "Even though I did insev
enth, helping the team out with some points was what I wanted to do."
Gruber took third place in the mile with a 4:05.94 time
Sophomore Brandi Taylor gave the Jayhawks points in the triple jump event with a 38-1 1/2 jump and 11th place finish. Junior Kathryn Eisenmenger placed fourth in the 1,000 meters, 2.52.15, while freshman Laura Lavioie gained a fifth-place effort in the 800 meter, 21.081.
Junior Jennifer Foster continued her strong effort in the shot put with a 24-2/3-4 toss while the 4x400 relay team placed fourth.
Redwine said the women's team performance was evidence of its vast improvement from last season.
"I think finishing ninth this year from 12th last year is a great accomplishment for our women's team." Redwine said.

Loss doesn't spoil emotion of farewell
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportswriter
For Jaclyn Johnson, Brooke Reves, Jennifer Jackson and Nikki White, Saturday's loss to Missouri did little to dampen the emotion during the traditional Senior Day festivities.
The Jayhawks lost to Missouri for the second time this season and dropped their eighth game in Allen Fieldhouse.
The 69-55 loss wasn't the send-off envisioned by
their final home game at Kansas
It's been a wild ride for each of the four players. Three of them, Johnson, Jackson and White, came to Kansas as freshmen in 1997, and Reves joined them a year later after transferring from Wichita State.
White's four years at Kansas have been hindered by injuries. A redshirt junior this year, she decided not to come back for a fifth year because of her injuries. Still, her greatest memory as a Jayhawk came during her freshman season when the team made it to the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.
During individual speeches immediately after the game, the four players took time to thank their families, friends and coaches who have helped them throughout their college careers.
"We had to come in and produce and come in and really play some minutes," White said. "I really remember that year because we had to step up. I think that helped us mature even faster."
"I think in the past I could have done a little bit more, but that isn't what Coach wanted me to do," Johnson said about Marian Washington. "I have to go by what she says or I'm going to be sitting on the bench."
Johnson will take nothing but positive memories away from her time at Kansas, but the 6-foot-1 forward wishes she could have made a bigger impact early in her career.
It wasn't until this season that Johnson became the team's goto player. She leads the Jayhawks in points (16), rebounds (7.7) and steals (2.3).
CHEMISTRY
"This year, I can handle the pressure, that's fine," Johnson said. "I think I'd rather have the wins than the points."
Johnson: leads in points, rebounds and steals
Johnson said she reveled in the responsibility that went with being a team leader, but she'd rather see the Jayhawks (10-16, 4-11) with a better win-loss record.

Washington said it was nice to see all the fans who stayed after the game to honor the seniors for their efforts.
"We had a great crowd." Washington said. "I really appreciate that the fans stayed and showed their love and support of these young seniors who, through four years, have done well for us. They've been to the Sweet 16, and with the exception of this year, they've helped us be a nationally ranked ball club. So they have a lot to be proud of."

Missouri men's basketball fighting for Big 12 seed
The Associated Press
COLUMBIA, Mo. — Just a few days ago, Missouri coach Quin Snyder said his team was a virtual lock for the NCAA tournament.
On the Big 12 conference call last Monday, he said even if the Tigers lost their last two regular-season games, they still should make it.
M
"I'd hesitate to say if we lose a couple down the stretch, we are not in it," Snyder said then.
After Saturday's 69-59 victory against Baylor, he changed his tune.
This time, we are changed his tune.
"That was of year, it's really hard to start trying to figure everything out," Saverd said. "This brings out, and that
happens and you have an endless series of hypothetical."
Missouri (18-9, 9-5 in the Big 12) is in fifth place in the conference heading into the last two games of the regular season. The Tigers are at Texas — who knocked Iowa State 94-78 Saturday night — today. They finish at Kansas on March 4 before the conference tournament starts on March 8.
"Both places are tough," forward Johnnie Parker said. "Kansas, everyone knows how it is going there."
The Big 12 sent six teams to the NCAA tournaments last season, five in 1994, four in '98 and five in '97.
Missouri should be in good shape for a third straight trip to the NCAA tournament — even if it loses the last two regular-season games and ends up as the sixth-place Big 12 team — considering its difficult schedule. The Tigers were 39th in the latest RPI ratings and made it No. 38 last season.
Missouri made it to the NCAAs with 18 regular-season victories last season. They're also 4-2 without Kareem Rush, the Big 12's leading scorer with a 21.9-point average, which should work in their favor.
Snyder said Missouri's strong performance against Baylor was a good indicator. The Tigers led by 19 points in the first half and 20 in the second half.
"This game, we needed it." Snyder said. "We needed to draw a line in the sand, and now we've got two incredibly tough games on the road.
"But I think our team is playing at a pretty good level."
Rush, who had surgery to repair ligament damage to his left thumb earlier this month, could return to the lineup at Texas. It's more likely, however, that he'll come back for the Kansas game.
"He told me not to rush it," Rush
said. "They're going to be smart and limit me from doing anything that would be stupid for my thumb."
Brian Grawer continued to fill the offensive void in Rush's absence, leading Missouri with 18 points against Baylor. All of his points came on 3 pointers and all 14 of his shots came from long range, which should not be a surprise considering all but 22 of his 170 shots on the season have come from outside the arc.
"We were trying to coax him inside, but he didn't want to go there," Baylor coach Dave Bliss said.
Snyder started 6-foot-6 senior Johnnie Parker ahead of 6-foot-9 freshman Arthur Johnson at center on senior day on Saturday. He indicated he may do that again because Johnson, who had his sixth double-double with 11 points and 10 rebounds, seemed more comfortable coming off the bench.
Johnson, who has started 22 games, has been prone to foul trouble and has fouled out of a team-high six games.
"He had a chance to watch and get a chance to kind of get in the flow of the game rather than come in and kind of get knocked back real quick with a couple calls that don't go his way," Snyder said.
That said, Snyder is happy with the progress his four key freshmen have made. Rickey Paulding has been starting in Rush's absence, and Travon Bryant and Wesley Stokes also are in the rotation.
Paulding had 11 points against Baylor and Stokes had a team-high six assists.
"We're starting to see some growth from all of them," Snyder said. "When you're playing that many young guys, if they just get a little bit better, each one of them, they can make our team a lot better."
Evans leads Texas' bull charge over the Iowa State Cyclones
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Iowa State coach Larry Eustachy has seen enough of Texas in the Big 12 Conference.
"I wish they would leave this league," Eustachy said Saturday
night after
Texas rolled
to a shock-
ingly easy
94-78 win
against his
No. 6
Cyclones.
"Every time
IOWA STATE
CHELONES
I come down here we get our heads kicked in."
Maurice Evans scored 28 points for Texas as the Longhorns snapped Iowa State's 10-game conference winning streak and kept the Cyclones from clinching the Big 12 title.
"We've been working hard all
year trying to have this kind of effort," said Evans, whose four 3-pointers in the second half sparked the rout. The win kept Texas in the hunt for the Big 12 title. "I kind of feel like eventually it was all going to come together."
The victory may not have been the surprise as much as how the Longhorns did it. Texas (21-7 overall and 10-4 in the Big 12) came in as the league's worst shooting team and near the bottom of standings in foul shooting.
Saturday night, the Longhorns shot 49 percent from the floor and blistered the foul line by knocking down 25 of 28 free throws in a tightly called game.
Texas stormed into the game with a 10-2 run punctuated by Evans' two-handed dunk on a putback.
It was difficult for either team to develop any offensive rhythm early as the officials called 12 fouls in the first four minutes. Both teams were
in the double-bonus foul shooting before 10 minutes had been played.
The constant fouls clearly frustrated Iowa State (23-4 and 11-3) and Eustachy, who was hit with a technical foul in the first half after he stomped up and down on the sideline after a whistle.
The antics trickled down to the Texas bench as Eustachy and Texas coach Rick Barnes started jawing at each other. At one point in the first half, the coaches met at midcourt and Eustachy could be seen wagging his finger at Barnes.
But nothing the Cyclones or their coach did could slow down Texas.
"Different refs are going to call it different ways," Evans said. "You just have to learn how to adjust."
Chris McColpin's 3-pointer and Darren Kelly's short jumper made it 34-25. Jamaal Tinsley then scored seven in a row for Iowa State to pull the Cyclones to 36-32 on his 3-pointer.
Texas answered with a 6-10 run that made it 42-32. Brian Boddicker's 3-pointer with three seconds left in the half put Texas ahead 53-38.
The fouls mounted for Iowa State in the second half. Texas stayed aggressive, forcing Tinsley and Cyclones forward Paul Shirley to both pick up their fourth fouls in the first six minutes.
Visibly frustrated, Tinsley picked up his third and fourth fouls in a span of 40 seconds when he twice lowered his shoulder into Fredie Williams and knocked him down.
Tinsley fouled out with just over seven minutes left to play when he was called again for charging. He led the Cyclones with 19 points.
"Officiating had nothing to do with this game," Eustachey said. "If we called our own fools, we probably would have lost by even more.
Evans, who had nine points in the first half, hit three 3-pointers and fed Chris Owens for a dunk that put Texas up 70-50 with 15:32 to play.
aging 15.5 attempts per game in conference play, but was just 3-of-7 against Texas.
Iowa State, which had talked about possibly earning a top seed in the NCAA Tournament, must continue concentrating on winning the Big 12.
"I really don't know, and I really don't care" about a No. 1 seed, Eustachy said. "We're trying to win this league, and we're still better off than anybody else in the league right now. This was good for our team. We needed to get spanked."
Iowa State, the nation's best 3-point shooting team, came in aver
Texas has won four straight since an embarrassing 75-54 home loss to Oklahoma on Feb. 10. The Longhorns have now beaten two Top 10 opponents at home this season. Texas knocked off then-No. 5 Illinois 72-84 on Dec. 23.
Virginia blows out second-ranked North Carolina
The Associated Press
CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. — First Duke, now North Carolina.
No. 9 Virginia rolled at home yesterday, beating No. 2 North Carolina 86-66 for its 13th victory in 14 games at University Hall.
The win came 11 days after Virginia topped then-No. 2 Duke 91-49 on the same court. Once again, the Cavaliers (19-6 overall and 8-6 in the ACC) won in impressive fashion, leading by as many as 20 and withstanding a 547 scoreless drought.
The Cavaliers used a 22.6 run late in the first half to push their lead into double digits and never allowed the Tar Heels (22.4 and 22.2) back in it as Joseph Forte and Brendan Haywood provided the only offense.
Forte scored 28 points, but made only four of his last 16 shots after hitting 7 off 8, and Haywood added 20 points, all from in close.
For Virginia, balance was once again the key as five players scored in double figures, led by Donald Hand with 17 points, Roger Mason with 16 and Travis Watson with 14.
Virginia led 56-42 at halftime. It was the most points allowed by the Tar Heels in a half this season and featured nine Cavaliers 3-pointers.
Playing a more deliberate offensive style, the Cavaliers outfirsted North Carolina 2014 during the first 10 minutes of the second half, opening a 76-56 lead.
Hall followed by taking a feed from Donald Hand for a dunk on a fast break, and after Forte scored, Hand added two driving lays.
The run ended with 12 consecutive Virginia points, including a flying tip-in by Hall and Chris Williams' first two baskets, including a 3. Hand finished the half with a 25-footer at the buzzer.

Softball team shows progress
By Brent Briggeman
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriiter
The Kansas softball team was pleased with the two wins it walked away with this weekend while competing against ranked teams in the NFCA Leadoff Classic in Columbus, Ga.
The Jayhawks, picked last in the Big 12 Conference with an 8-8 record, finished the weekend 2-3.
Kansas began on a positive note, defeating No. 24 Massachusetts 4-1 in the tournament opener. The win was Kansas' first over a ranked team in five tries this season.
Pitcher Kara Pierce was the headliner for Kansas, tossing a complete game and holding Massachusetts to three hits. The freshman from Mesa, Ariz., credited her success to a new approach.
"The last two days in practice, we have been working on our intensity and focus, and I think that helped me today." Pierce said. "It ites great to finally break through against a ranked team."
The Jayhawks completed play Friday with a 3-0 loss to No. 4 Alabama. Sophomore pitcher
Softball
Kirsten Milhoan took the loss, tossing a complete game of her own.
Against No. 6 Arizona State, Kansas put together its best game of the season. Behind another complete game from Pierce, Kansas defeated the Sun Devils 7-1. Junior shortstop Courtney Wright provided the offensive spark for Kansas, hitting a home run, collecting two hits and driving in two runs.
A 2-1 record in pool play advanced the Jayhawks to the Gold Championship Bracket at the tournament — the elimination bracket for the top eight teams after pool play in the 24-team event.
Bracket play didn't prove as prosperous for the Jawhakers.

to wrap up the weekend, but she liked the signs of progress.
Kansas coach Tracy Bunge wasn't pleased with the team's performance
"It leaves a bittersweet taste in my mouth," she said. "I good like we'd done some really good things and made some progress in the games. To play so poorly and without emotion and a real sense of urgency is disappointing. But I feel like we made some major leaps and believe we could be and should be competing with the best teams in the country."
Now 8-7, with all seven losses against ranked teams, Kansas convinced itself of its talent and left the tournament with a new-found sense of hunger.
"We are not satisfied, but we are happy with the way we are playing right now," junior third baseman Megan Urquhart said. "Our confidence this year has gone up so much, just since the beginning of the season."
Pierce, who has won five games this year, said the difficult schedule had helped the young team grow.
"Every game we play is a learning experience right now," Pierce said. "Hopefully we can take the good things from our losses and put them toward future games."

Sarhan recalls a female university teacher wearing the Islamic veil whom she invited as a guest on a program called "Divorce Begins in Bed."
In her mid-40s, Sarhan has worked for years in broadcast and print media. The native of Cairo writes a satirical column in a Cairo weekly magazine and has written six books, mostly dealing with social issues.
Taboos stretched on Arab program
"If they criticize me, then they are watching my program," she counters.
The lecturer refused to discuss sex, deeming it inappropriate for television. The audience applauded the teacher, but also applauded Saran when she countered: "If the Quran, which is Islam's holy book, talks about sex, why cannot we?"
CAIRO, Egypt — A small audience in a television studio on the outskirts of Cairo breaks into applause as Arab television talk show host Hala Sarhan makes her grand entry.
"I don't try to change people, I just want them to think," she said.
Sarhan is often accused of sensationalism, arrogance, irreverence, even pornography.
And so begins another "Yahala" — "Hello" — perhaps the Arab world's most-watched talk show and certainly the most controversial.
Associated Press
Mohammed Hassan, a former "Yahala" executive, believes the program merely provides balance for the reactionary and Muslim fundamentalist material also aired on Arab television.
"Yahala" — a pun on Sarhan's first name — was the Arab world's first American-style talk show when it started nearly 10 years ago. The novelty of interactive television soon turned into shock when the program began to deal with topics that are taboo among Arabs, such as sex, and to tackle politically sensitive subjects including Arab-American relations.
"What a beautiful audience we have here tonight," she says with an ear-to-ear smile.
Hassan said the success of "Yahala" was largely because of an excellent team of researchers and Sarhan's charisma.
"I think I am the first Arab woman to utter the word 'sex' on television," says Sarhan, a U.S.-educated Egyptian who sees herself as part Oprah Winfrey, part Barbara Walters.

Edwards campus
Internet courses increase enrollment
By Paul Smith
By Paul Smith
writer@kansan.com
Special to the Kansan
The Edwards Campus enrollment increase this semester is more than double the percentage growth of the University of Kansas as a whole, and Internet courses maybe have something to do with the bigger numbers.
The Nontraditional Pharmacy Doctoral program — also called PharmD — is the Internet-based curriculum that saw the greatest enrollment increase at 63 percent.
The program was launched online in Spring 1999, and all of its 100 students enroll through the Edwards Campus. The program's enrollment has nearly quadrupled from the 28 students at its inception.
Bob Clark, vice chancellor for the Edwards Campus, said it was evident from the steady increase of credit hours that the campus was responsive in offering education demanded by Kansas City's work force.
"The Web is creating a real opportunity for higher-education if we respond appropriately," he said.
Ron Ragan, the PharmD director, said he used the Edwards Campus for distance courses because of its technical and instructional expertise.
"Our students have provided extremely positive evaluations regarding the administration and staff at the Edwards Campus," he said.
Ragan helped establish the Nontraditional PharmD program two and a half years ago. Its goal is to provide further education for practicing pharmacists, and it takes up to five years to complete.
"The focus of this online pathway is to allow the practitioners to stay in their home region." Ragan said.
Ragan and other pharmacy faculty interact with students by e-mail, though orientation sessions at the start of each semester provide students with the chance to meet their professors. Some skills are not yet taught online, such as how to take blood pressure and use a stethoscope, but students can either come into campus to learn these techniques or mentor with a physician in their area.
"You have to develop a classroom without the cinder-block walls." Ragan said. "You have to find a way to interact with students."
Frank Weinhold is a KU graduate pursuing his doctorate in pharmacy online from his home in Longview, Wash., while he works as director of pharmacy at St. John Medical Center. Even Weinhold has had the opportunity to speak face-to-face with Ragan, meeting his professor at seminars held during the mid-year clinical pharmacists conference.
Weinhold has been in PharmD for two years and finds it convenient for his work schedule, which often requires

CLAS hit hardest by budget cuts
Hiring freeze among results
By Cássio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Students may find more closed or crowded classes next semester because of the University's hiring freeze.
The freeze is caused by the budget cuts announced last week by Provost David Shulenbuzer
All schools, departments, academic units and administrative offices had their budgets cut by less than 1 percent —0.5674 percent— in fiscal year 2001, causeing a loss of positions and a halt on hiring faculty and staff.
Robert Weaver, associate dean of liberal arts and sciences, said the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences would need to curtail some positions next year.
"We're going to serve more students with fewer faculty," he said.
Weaver said the college couldn't force professors to dedicate more time to teaching because many of them had grants and couldn't devote more time to the classroom.
"We can't do as good a job with less money." Weaver said.
Lindy Eakin, associate provost, said the equal cut still allowed the University to save $1.15 million, which was necessary to make up for the budget recommended by Gov. Bill Graves in January.
The budget recommendations didn't include any extra funds to help the University pay for its utility bills, which increased during the current fiscal year.
For fiscal year 2002, the cut will be closer to 1 percent — 0.98 percent, which amounts to $1,988,340 of the budget.
The College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, which has the largest budget of all academic units, will have a cut of $342,616 in the first year and $592,423 in the second year.
But the University decided, Eakin said,
not to cut funds for library acquisitions
Budget cuts
Listed is a sampling of University budget cuts,
by department for 2001 and 2002.
Dept. 2001 2002
Provost $162,273 $158,439
Education $141,426 $145,456
Engineering $125,477 $109,823
Fine arts $49,728 $55,985
Liberal arts $342,510 $342,423
Library $49,696 $49,728

because the libraries wouldn't be able to purchase as many books even with a steady budget because of increased prices of books and periodicals.
"We decided to protect them," he said.
We decided to protect them, he said.
Eakin said that most deans and department heads understood that the University was doing all it could do to reverse the cuts by working with Graves and the legislature.
"Everyone is doing the best they can, Eakin said.
He said that deans and department heads would have the freedom to make the cuts within their departments as they saw fit.
Weaver said the college was taking several steps to make up for the cuts, but acknowledged that those steps wouldn't be enough to make up for all the losses.
Jerry Bailey, interim dean of education, said the school would suffer a $44,448 cut in 2001 and $76,856 cut in 2002. He said that the cuts were unfortunate but that the University had no choice in the situation.
The School of Engineering will have to cut its more than $11 million budget by $62,477 in fiscal year 2001 and $108,029 in 2002.
"We hope the governor and the legislature will be able to find additional resources," he said.
The chancellor's office will lose $30,912 in the first year and $53,450 in the second year, and the provost's office will have to cut its spending by $102,272 the first year and $176,839 the next.

FDA standards ban some from donating blood
By Livi Regenbaum
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Not all KU students are allowed to give blood.
The FDA, which regulates restrictions on blood donors, has recently voted to continue its practice of not allowing sexually active gay men to donate blood. The FDA also prohibits people who have ever used a needle to take illegal drugs or steroids, or who have had sexual intercourse with someone infected with HIV.
The policy also bans people who were born or have lived in Cameroon, Central African Republic, Chad, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon and Nigeria for more than one year, as well as those who have received blood transfusions or medical treatment with a blood product from these countries.
Men who have had sex with prostitutes are barred from donating blood for one year. The list includes 12 other prohibitions.
Paul Richards, public affairs specialist for the FDA, said the exclusion criteria were intended to use all prudent measures that might reduce the potential risk of transmitting HIV.
"Studies have shown that men with a history of male to male sex since 1977 may be infected with HIV," he said. "In a recent surveillance report, CDC states that men who have sex with men account for 38 percent of new AIDS cases from 1996 to 1997."
Richards said although a potential individual donor may practice safe sex, persons who have participated in
FDA RESTRICTIONS
- If you had a blood transfusion, defer for 12 months.
If you have Creutzfeldt-Jakob Disease (CJD)
If you have had exposure to hepatitis,
defer for 12 months
If you had immunization vaccines such as MMR and chicken pox vaccines, defer for four weeks
If you have had an organ or tissue transplant defer for 12 months.
If you have sickle cell disease
If you have had or been treated for syphilis or gonorrhea in the last 12 months
If you have traveled into areas with a risk of malaria
source: American Red Cross
high risk behaviors are, as a group, still considered to be at increased risk for HIV.
Sidney Hardgrave, executive director of the Douglas County AIDS project, disagrees with the reasoning behind the exclusion criteria.
"I don't think that the ban is appropriate," she said. "We know now that unprotected sex is risky."
John Roth, Honolulu sophomore,
also disagrees with the ban.
"It is based on a stereotype that sexually active members of the gay community are unsafe and at a high risk for AIDS." he said.
People excluded by the ban may have a difficult time not taking it personally.

Naismith Hall thefts remain unsolved
Refunds, security concern residents
By Cynthia Malakasis writer @kansan.com Kansan staff writer
Lauren Brown said that besides calling the police when she discovered her $400 stereo system missing, she also alerted the College Park Communities corporate office to find out whether she was eligible for any financial reimbursement.
Brown, along with other residents of Naismith Hall who were victims of thefts during winter break, said they have not yet received any financial reimbursement or witnessed better hall security.
"Naismith people wanted to keep it quiet,"
said Brown, Omaha, Neb., freshman. "I called people at the corporation and they hadn't even heard about it."
Brown said she was told the corporate office would look into its insurance policies for residents and contact her. More than a month later, she still has not heard anything from the office.
Jason Olds, Naismith Hall property manager, confirmed that the corporation was not responsible for personal property losses.
"That's not to say we don't acknowledge responsibility given conclusive evidence," said Olds.
Brown said she thought that although the lease stated the hall was not responsible for loss of personal property, she should be reimbursed because the theft was not a result of her negligence.
"My doors were left locked." Brown said. She said an investigation had failed to lead to any specific individual.
He said that because there was no evidence leading to the person or people responsible for the thefts, Naismith Hall could not proceed with financial reimbursements. He explained that Naismith could not assume the thefts were committed by an employee.
Hall security is another one of residents' concerns after the thefts.
Sam Aznaurov, Overland Park freshman and Naismith Hall resident said $1,700 worth of jewelry and his roommate's laptop computer were stolen from his room. Aznaurov was told that the police were handling the issue.
"They were stolen from a place that was supposed to be secure, and we have yet to receive any apology or reimbursement," he said. "I read the story about security tightening and all, but I haven't seen anything being done."

No one arrested after late-night party fight
The KU Public Safety Office confirmed that no one was arrested when a fight broke out during a party at the Kansas Union at 12:45 a.m. Saturday.
The party was a scheduled event during the Big XII Conference on Black Student Government. Both conference participants and nonconference students were allowed to attend.
Although the cause of the fight is unknown, Lt. Schuley Bailey of the KU Public Safety Office said the party disbanded after the fighting began.
Because no one filed a report with the Public Safety Office about being injured or involved with the fight, the office has no report about the incident.
Bailey said Public Safety officers were at the conference because it was departmental policy to attend all late-night events at the Kansas Union
Sgt. Mike Pattrick, Lawrence Police Department, said police received a dispatch about a fight at the Union and the Public Safety Office requesting assistance. However, Pattrick said, the police had played only a supporting role to the safety office.

No students meet new dean candidate
School of Education dean candidate Eileen Oliver visited the University yesterday to meet with students, but no students showed up to meet her.
The meeting was designed to give students an opportunity to ask the candidate questions. The meeting also was for students to become a part of the search for a new dean.
Oliver, associate dean of education at California State University-San Marcos, was the fourth of six dean candidates to come to the University. All of the candidates will participate in similar forums with students.
Candidate Larry Eblers, a professor of education at Iowa State University, will visit tomorrow.
Susan Twomby, professor of education, said the search committee would try to recommend a new dean to Provost David Shulenburger before spring break.

"Jam band" returns with new, jazzier riffs
Lawrence-based "jam band"
Einstein Electric will end a two-year
hiatus with a show at 10 p.m. tomorrow
at the Granada, 1020
Massachusetts.
The band developed a following
playing rock and roll in bars and festivals for six years. But they took a break in 1999 when guitarist Brian Baggett decided to change his focus.
"I'd been studying jazz heavily and felt the band didn't fit what I was trying to do," Baggett said.
He formed Embious Trio, a modern jazz ensemble, with Einstein keyboardist Ben Singer and drummer Matt Miner.
The three original Einstein members have added bass guitarist Chris Handley and honed their sound.
Their return coincides with popular jam band Phish's announcement to take a break of its own. Einstein Electric has been compared to Phish, but Baggett said Phish's hiatus had nothing to do with the band's reappearance. He said the motive was new and better music.
"The band is more powerful than it's ever been." Baggett said.
it's ever been, Baggett said.

A 21-year-old KU student who works as a DJ at Duffy's reported to Lawrence police that he was punched repeatedly in the face after he did not play a song someone had requested, Set, Mike Patrick said.
Patrick said the suspect was an acquaintance of the victim and tried to strike the student several times in the Ramada Inn parking lot, 2222 W. Sixth St., during the Feb. 15 incident. When that was unsuccessful, the suspect grabbed the student from behind and punched him in the face repeatedly while telling the student to apologize.
Student files report against bar bouncer
A 21-year-old KU student filed a battery report with the Lawrence Police Department yesterday morning, claiming she had been shoved too hard by bouncers kicking her out of a bar in the 1000 block of Massachusetts Street, Lawrence police said.
Sgt. Mike Patrick said a bar employee told the student her ID did not look real. The student then questioned why she had to leave and threw a drink in the employee's face, Patrick said.
Records stay closed in Dartmouth killings
NATION
MONTPELIEI, Vt. — News organizations took their case to Vermont's highest court yesterday after a judge refused to open records that might explain why authorities have charged two teenagers with killing two Dartmouth College professors.
He said several bouncers then pushed the student and her friends out the door.
— Lauren Brandenburg
The Associated Press, the Times Argus, the Rutland Herald, WCAX-TV and WPTZ-TV appealed to the Vermont Supreme Court to reverse the lower court ruling.
The sealed records include affidavits for search warrants and a request for physical evidence from the suspects.
It was not known when the Supreme Court would hear the case.
Prosecutors said releasing the documents could jeopardize their continuing investigation, and District Judge Patricia Zimmerman sided with them yesterday.
"Piecemeal dissemination of information does not promote an understanding of the investigation and charges in this case; rather the opposite occurs, and has occurred, in this case," Zimmerman wrote.
Court grills lawyers in Microsoft appeal
WASHINGTON — Microsoft told a U.S. appeals court yesterday that it did not illegally stifle competitors. The judges asked lawyers for the software giant and the government pointed questions about practices that led to the company's court-ordered breakup.
"I don't see how you can get a reversal on this part of your case." Judge David Tatel told Microsoft's lawyer at one point in early arguments that focused on Microsoft's battles with Netscape, its chief rival in the Internet browser market.
Government lawyers came under tough questions, too, about why they went after Microsoft.
Northwest will be next to have power outages
Native-American art on display
LOS ANGELES — As Californians brace for a summer of anticipated power shortages and the possibility of rolling blackouts, experts are warning their neighbors in states across the West to be ready for the possibility of having to share the pain. Natural gas supplies are tight, reservoirs are low and a heat wave could drive up demand for electricity. All the Western states share a power transmission grid, but the area most likely to face problems similar to California's is the Northwest. Washington, Oregon, Idaho and western Montana depend heavily on hydroelectric power, an energy source facing a double challenge this year.

A collection of Native American artifacts and paintings by the late artist Blackbear Bosin of the Comanche and Kiowa tribes is on display in the Museum of Anthropology.
"Blackbear Bosin: Artist and Collector" will run until Aug. 5. The five paintings are on loan to the museum from Britt and Ann Brown of Wichita, longtime friends of Bosin.
"Bosin was a marvelous painter, and these complement the exhibit and tell more about the person who made the collection," said Maria Martin, public relations coordinator. "We picked the paintings up recently, and they were actually on his walls."
The artifacts were donated in 1998, and Sara Summers, curatorial assistant for the museum, photographed and catalogued each artifact in the spring. When her boss suggested an exhibit about Bosin, Summers jumped at the chance.
"It's a really diverse collection and not concentrated on one specific item. I wanted to concentrate on the collection itself and Bosin's life and his motivations." Summers said.
"The paintings were wrapped in paper, and I got to unwrap them all. It was like Christmas," Summers said.
ON THE RECORD
Summers didn't get to meet the Browns when the paintings were picked up in Wichita, but she was the first person to glimpse what was underneath the packages.
An Apple Powerbook laptop computer and accompanying mouse, adapter and software were stolen from the Delta Chi fraternity house between 4 p.m. Feb. 8 and 8:30 a.m.

The driver crossing the intersection was cited for a stop sign violation. No one was injured and damages were not listed.
A KU student's 1993 Saturn was damaged in the Quigley Field parking lot between 10:30 a.m. and noon on Thursday, the KU Public Safety Office said. Damages were estimated at $300.
Two cars collided on Joseph R. Pearson Drive at 3:18 p.m. Friday, the KU Public Safety Office said. A car was turning onto 11th Street when it hit an approaching car. The driver making the
turn was cited for inattentive driving and having an expired driver's license.
A KU student was arrested for operating a vehicle under the influence on Saturday, the KU Public Safety Office said. The officer reported being at the intersection at 2:50 a.m. to clock speeders when a moped sped by him. The driver fell and started sliding, leaving a trail of sparks and injuring his leg. The student refused medical attention and failed several field sobriety tests, according to the report. He was arrested, and he kicked an officer and screamed while being put in the patrol car. The student opened the back door and stuck his feet out so police could not close the door, according to the report. The student was taken to Douglas County Jail.
A KU student's spare tire and license plate were taken from his car between 5 p.m. Feb. 20 and 1 p.m. Friday, the KU Public Safety Office said. The car was parked in the McCollom Hall parking lot. The items were valued at $300.
A KU student's 2000 Ford Mustang was keyed between midnight and 1:30 p.m. Sunday in the 1000 block of Alabama Street, Lawrence police said. The damage estimate was unknown.

Ozzy fan wins tickets to see Backstreet
Bv Sarah Smarsh
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas student has won a trip to Las Vegas — accidentally.
Jordan Tucker, Kingman junior, said a string of strange events led him to win a prize package for two people, including airfare, a hotel room and tickets to a Backstreet Boys concert at the MGM Grand, from the Lazer, 105.9 FM, on Feb. 14.
Tucker said he was working at Hastings, 1900 W. 23rd St., when a girl from his Spanish class asked for the name of a song. Tucker told her he didn't know, but later called the Lazer for the answer.
Instead, Tucker received another question when disc jockeys Austin and Elena
answered saying,
"Caller, what's the first single released by the Backstreet Boys?"
Tucker said he had no idea what was going on.
"I thought either I had the wrong number or it was a joke," he said.
Still, the first words out of his mouth were the correct answer,
"Quit Playing Games With My Heart."
Tucker: won tickets to concert in Las Vegas
Tucker, who said his favorite musicians were Ozzy Osbourne, Pantera and Stevie Ray Vaughn, said he "had a flashback" of hearing the single on the radio when he was in high school. He added that he and a friend had recently tried to remember the name of the Backstreet Boys' first song.
Later, Tucker asked for clarification.
Tucker said he was still clueless when the DJs told him he was right.
"I wasn't thinking, 'contest,' " Tucker said. "I thought it was just cool to be on the radio."
Later, Tucker asked for clarification. "They started taking my information, and I finally said, 'What do I win?' " he said.
Tucker, who said he'd never won anything, said he had spent the two hours before the drawing wondering if the contest would end a difficult period he had recently endured.
"I was praying," he said. "After the crapy three months I've had, it would just be so nice, even if it is to see the Backstreet Bows."
Tucker said he later answered the phone at Hastings — only the second time he'd been available to do so all night. It was Austin and Elena saying he had won the trip.
"I was like, Nuh-uh. You've got to be kidding me. That's crazy," he said.
While on the air, the DJs asked him which Backstreet Boy was the cutest.
"A.J." Tucker replied, laughing. One Halloween, he and his girlfriend dressed as A.J. and Brittney Spears as a joke, he said.
Tucker said the incident seemed even more fated when he found out the trip, Friday, March 9 to Sunday, March 11, begins the day after his 21st birthday.
After winning, Tucker took two victory laps around Hastings telling the news to strangers.
Rob Meyer, program director for the Lazer, said he was a little surprised to give the trip to a grown male. But Meyer said the station was impressed by the circumstances.
"I felt really good about him winning, especially since he was turning 21, and he said he'd recently had some problems." Meyer said. "Plus, it was on Valentine's Day, so we just thought it was perfect the way it worked out."
"Most people spend their 21st birthday taking shots," Tucker said. "I'm going to spend mine selling my soul to Vegas — and A.J."

Commission primaries take place today
Senate urges students to get out and vote
By Erin Adamson
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
Members of Student Senate have their fingers crossed that students will head to the polls and show Lawrence that students want a voice in local government.
Lawrence residents will vote today in City Commission primaries.
Twelve candidates, including two University of Kansas students, are vying for three open seats on the commission.
"We want candidates to be receptive to students' ideas," Bankston said. "It helps Senate when we go in and push for things like public transportation, that we can go in and say, 'Look how strong student interest is.'"
Jessica Bankston, legislative director of the Student Legislative Awareness Board, said Senate wanted students to be represented in local government.
The primaries will whittle the 12 candidates down to six for the final elections in April. Voters can select three or fewer candidates on their ballots today. Among the candidates are three incumbents — Marty Kennedy, David Dunfield and Erv Hodges.
Bankston said the primary election was
Allen Fieldhouse is the official polling site for residents of Daisy Hill residence halls, Javahawk Towers and Oliver Hall.
WHERE TO VOTE
The polling sites for local primary elections are the same as polling locations in last fall's presidential and congressional elections.
See www.kansan.com for local polling sites.
Poll will be from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. today.
"It's more important because this year we've seen that Lawrence government affects students," Bankston said, referring to the housing ordinance debate.
She said the level of student involvement in the discussions had impressed city officials.
"For the time being we have their attention," she said. "If we're going to hold their attention, we need to vote."
He said students were more credible when they participated in city issues.
Andrew Bailey, community affairs director of the Student Legislative Awareness Board, said students should vote in the primaries because the city commissioners would affect students' lives for the next two years.
Information about the candidates and the issues they support is available to students in the Senate office, Bankston said. —Edited by Jacob Roddy
Wescoe's weather-beaten stairs welcome repairs
By Rachel Moluf
Special to the Kansan
Students who have classes that meet in 3139 or 3140 Wescoe, might have had trouble concentrating on their teachers' lectures last week with all the noise from behind the building.
Workers from Facilities Operations jackhammered away six steps on the south side of Wescoe Terrace Wednesday and another set of steps Friday.
This winter's freezezaw cycle sped up the deterioration of the concrete.
Some stairs had crumbled down to the metal support bar located beneath the concrete.
"We're trying to replace those steps that have been bad, at least the worst ones," said Bill Barkley, physical plant supervisor for Facilities Operations.
The workers re-covered the six steps on the south side with concrete Thursday.
"We put calcium chloride in the concrete to make it set faster," Barkley said. "The black tarp covering the stairs will insulate it and protect it from the weather."
Dean Christy, construction foreman for Facilities Operations, said it usually took 24 hours for concrete to harden.
"If the weather gets cold, then it might take 48 hours," Christy said. "But we'll only close one stairwell at a time to keep as much pedestrian traffic flowing as possible."
Christy said the second stairwell was tentatively scheduled to be re-covered with concrete sometime this week.
About 80 other areas around the exterior of Wescoe need major repairs, said Mark Reiske, associate director of Design and Construcion Management.
Reiske said Design and Construction Management would hire contractors to do the project.
However, he said there was too much pedestrian traffic around Wescoe for those areas to be closed during the spring semester.

Edwards Campus' enrollment rises

him to work 12 or more hours a day.
He also finds the Internet format helpful in that he can replay lectures and choose when to attend those lectures.
"I couldn't take a traditional course," Weinhold said. "I will usually sit down at 9 or 10 at night. I'll listen to the lectures, fill out the study guides and do the readings."
With the help of courses such as PharmD, the Edwards Campus continued its fourth straight year of expansion with a 3.2 percent increase, compared to 1.2 percent growth for the entire University, according to the Board of Regents.
The Edwards Campus is
measured in terms of credit hours increased, while the University is measured in student enrollment. The different standards are necessitated by the unknown number of students who take courses at both campuses, said Elaine Warren, director of public relations for the Edwards Campus.
Clark also said the campus' Overland Park location was an advantage.
"There are more alums from KU living in the greater Kansas City area than from any other institution," he said. At last count, there were 55 web-enhanced or web-based courses offered at the Edwards Campus. Clark said he expected that number to grow.

EDWARDS CAMPUS
The University of Kansas Edwards Campus saw more than double the percentage increase in enrollment as did the Lawrence campus. Edwards officials cite online courses — especially its pharmacy program — as the cause for growing enrollment focusses.
Lawrence campus enrollment growth from Spring 2000 to Spring 2001: 1.2 percent
Edwards campus growth: 3.2 percent
Internet-based pharmacy doctoral program growth: 63 percent

Behavior may prevent donation
Continued from page 1A
Stan Handshy, Queers and Allies senator and Erie junior, says he still remembers being turned away from a 1995 Red Cross blood drive because he was gay.
"I went to the little booth to answer their list of questions. They asked me if I had sex with another man and when I answered yes, they told me I might as well leave because they could not take my blood," Handshy said.
"Banning me for life for being a sexual active gay man and only banning a man for a year from having sex with a prostitute makes me feel like a third class citizen," he said.
Handshy said that because there was a national shortage of the blood supply, the FDA should not exclude gavs.
"If there is such a deficit in the national blood supply, why are they excluding a class of people who would be very willing to donate blood?" he asked.
Richards said the FDA continued to review and discuss donor deferral recommendations within the public health services and at open public meetings.
"The FDA will continue to re-evaluate data," he said.

Abortion labels skew essence of arguments
I am going to try to end the abortion argument today.
According to the usual standards, I am pro-life, but in no way am I anti-choice. Let's call these coalitions what they really are and stop playing word games. Pro-lifers are anti-abortionists.
Pro-choicers, astonishingly, are less united in their beliefs; some believe abortion is wrong but see a social need for it, while other pro-choicers support both its validity and its necessity. The latter group, in essence, consists of pro-abortionists. But both sides use the same argument: A woman
has a right to choose.
The pro-abortion coalition constructs a successful smokescreen disguised as a liberty-driven controversy. We have anti-abortionists arguing that a fetus is a human life, and in response, pro-abortionists construct a self-contained argument that has nothing to do with what anti-abortionists initially argued.
The pro-abortionists' main premise is that women have a right to
both sides use the same argument: A woman has a right to choose
choose. It's both a brilliant and idiotic argument. It's brilliant because in this day, no one in his or her right mind would try to infringe upon a woman's right to choose. Men and women are closer to equality than ever. So when pro-abortionists have a banner that suggests choice and freedom infringement, who wouldn't rally behind that?
I've read column after column from our KU pro-choice representatives that repeat the same hollow jargon about how women's rights are being infringed upon, but not once is the issue of qualifying a fetus as a human ever explored at length.
So start with the real issue.
Matt Cox columnist opinion@kansan.com
If you are pro-abortion, you don't consider a fetus to be a human. If you do, you are, in your mind and soul, committing murder. So, to those of you who think a fetus is not human, let me show you something. No, not horrific pictures of the sad reality of your flagship, nor preachy, irrelevant text, but a true story.
Eleanor, a 23-year-old woman, was down to 87 pounds, dying of an open tuberculosis cavity in her lung (no, this isn't an e-mail chain letter — it's a report of factual events from the Carolina Medical Review). Physician Joseph McDougall exhausted all procedures known to medical science to try to save her, and she was dying quickly. Somehow during this flasco, she became pregnant. The explanation was "beyond science," McDougall exclaimed in shock.
The doctors had every medical right to abort the fetus. She refused. After three weeks of struggle, her TB cavity compressed and sealed because of the fetus, her temperature came back to normal and she gained a lot of weight back. The unborn baby saved the mother's life in its first trimester.
This isn't a story based on theory to support a belief. So pro-abortionists: Start addressing the facts.
Stop avoiding the issue by saying, "What about cases of rape and danger to the mother's health?" Don't use special instances to justify the main scope. You're fighting mostly for the cases of "Oops, I forgot to protect myself" and "I want to be sexually active and eliminate the consequences at all costs."
Millions of mothers who have access to abortions live in worse conditions than you will ever experience, but they know their child is a joy, and joy supersedes any horrible environment.
So you think it's hard to raise a kid when you don't have the money or you don't think the environment is right? Welcome to Earth.
Your only real choice is whether to have sex. After that, live up to your responsibilities as a decent human being. We don't let thieves choose their punishments, do we? No, we expect them to justify their actions through jail time. Even though having sex doesn't make you a criminal, the analogy still applies. So please just grow up and take responsibility.
When the argument is about an apple, stop talking about oranges. It makes you look quite thoughtless, selfish and misinformed.

Fight's newsworthiness affected paper's decisions
For the past two years, students at the University of Kansas planned what one administrator called the best Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government ever. But a fight broke out during the conference Friday night, slightly disrupting the event and causing the Kansan to highlight the tussle on the front page of yesterday's paper.
The incident left everyone
— from African-American student leaders to Kansan editors — with a sour taste in their mouths. The answer, unfortunately, is that there is no answer.
"There's not always a right and wrong way to handle things," said Kansan editor Lori O'Toole.
The decision we settled on was a story about the conference and the fight, with the headline, "Fight fails to derail minority conference." But that decision was not wish.

Position, especially from African Americans. "I was a little disappointed in how the Kansan as a whole approached the article," said Robert Page, director of the Office of Multicultural Affairs.
He said that KU students spent countless hours planning the conference and that the fight should not be the story's headline or lead.
"This was the best conference that we've ever had, and that's because the KU students worked really hard," he said. "And now, they're hurt because their own paper said their conference was about a flight."
"Cover the fight — that's fine," he said. "Cover it as 'this took place, but still the conference was a huge success."
Page said the Kansan story was especially hurtful because it came from the peers — and fellow students — of those who planned the conference.
"A fight at something like that is a hell of a lot more interesting than a fight that breaks out at a hockey game," said Ted Frederickson, who teaches the advanced reporting classes that all Kansan reporters take.
Still, faculty members in the school of journalism said the fight was newsworthy.
Malcolm Gibson, who teaches advanced editing classes to all of the Kansan's copy editors, said the Kansan needed to ask the question, "How disruptive was the fight?"
He said that because the fight affected the conference and resulted in some people being "uninvited" to events, that issue belonged in the story, if not in the first paragraph.
Two things happened, he said: A conference took place, and a couple of people got in a fight. Initially, I thought the Kansan should have run two stories: one on the conference and its success, another on the fight.
But then I found out that Danny Phillips, the reporter who wrote the story, actually learned of the fight not from police reports, but from students who attended the conference — it was an issue at the forefront of their minds.
So he wrote the story about the fight and reactions to it — and how students and the conference triumphed in spite of the incident.
Turns out it was, which meant it had more information about the positive parts of the conference. But somewhere along the line the story was cut because of available space in Monday's edition — something all newspapers deal with.
Not one decision concerning Monday's story was made unilaterally. Everyone from the reporter to the campus editor to the copy chief to the editor discussed and worked on this story because they knew it was a sensitive issue. That's not something that happens with many stories, and I think it's a credit to the Kansan.
"Everyone knew about it; everyone agreed on what our goal was," O'Toole said. "Everyone stopped to think, 'How should we handle this? Is this OK?'"
Next, I thought — and Gibson agreed — that the story should have been longer.
We need to look at how we can discuss this issue and learn from it, he said.
"Hopefully." Page said, "this can be an educational process and no one feels like it's a fingerpointing thing."
The fight was unfortunate, especially because it detracted from such a successful conference.
Whether you're in or out of the Kansan newsroom, I think everyone can agree with that.

Victims have right to view execution
The hundreds of people affected by McVeigh's crime deserve to see him die.
In January, the federal government sent letters to approximately 1,100 victims of the Oklahoma City bombing and their families, asking them if they wished to view the execution of bomber Timothy McVeigh, possibly via closed-circuit television.
Despite its unprecedented nature, this widespread offer was justified and appropriate. In extending this right, the government was working well within the boundaries of tradition and decency.
The move was controversial, however, drawing objections from groups including the Oklahoma Coalition to Abolish the Death Penalty. Kevin Acers, a member of the coalition, claimed that sending such invitations "almost encourages people to be enthusiastic about the execution."
Hundreds of people have responded to the letters and requested that they be able to witness the execution. Such a response would seem to indicate a certain degree of enthusiasm, as Acers suggests, but the eagerness for the execution date of Wednesday, May 16 to arrive stems not from a perverse desire to see another human being die.
Instead, these victims are eager to bring a greater sense of closure to the suffering that the bombing has caused them. The right to witness the execution of the convicted has traditionally been extended to victims and their families to help them move forward after their tragedy.
Although this situation is different because of the large number of victims involved, the spirit of this tradition remains just as important, if not more important, in McVeigh's case. The hundreds of people who are still haunted and embittered by McVeigh's crime deserve an opportunity to end this chapter in their lives.

Visa concerns affect students from Mexico
By Michelle Ward
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff writer
Rodrigo Echagaray would like the choice of staying in the United States after his graduation. But the Mexico City junior has had that decision taken out of his hands by the U.S. federal government, which will most likely send him back to his home country when his student visa expires.
Some University of Kansas international students say the U. S. government needs to differentiate between skilled workers and manual laborers who are immigrating to this country.
An initial meeting of the two new heads of state was highlighted by talks of different immigration policies and labor practices.
"I think there are two different types of people immigrating," Echagaray said. "There are people getting their education and working, and those who have no education and aren't helping the economy. But we are both treated the same."
While Fox wants to open the borders, Bush opposes this plan, favoring a one-year work permit instead.
Echagarray said he thought an open border would open the flood gates as Mexicans rushed to America for a better life. A simple one-year permit may not offer a long-term solution, he said.
"There are a lot of people that want to come to the U.S." Echagaray said. "They would get here, and there would be no jobs for them. They would have to return to Mexico."
Gary Reich, assistant professor in political science, said a greater open door would be more humane. A new policy should acknowledge the role that immigrants play in the economy for the United States as well, Reich said.
Robert Rodriguez, Lawrence graduate student in American studies, would like to open America's borders as he has seen the frustrations of immigration. The red tape makes it difficult for people to join their spouses or family in the United States. Many people don't understand the complications of the policy until they experience it.
"I would love to see the borders open," Rodriguez said. "Will it happen? I don't think so. There are too many sources in the government who don't want to see that happen."
Rodriguez was not impressed by the meeting between two heads of state in San Cristobal, Mexico. He said he thought the meeting was more a get-to-know-you visit than a planning session.
The important topics of the exploitation of Mexican workers by American companies and the corruption of American business weren't even discussed at the Feb. 16 meeting.
"Workers are exposed to very harsh conditions in maquilladoras (sweat shops)," Rodriguez said. "Why is that something not being addressed?"
Instead, there were talks of drug trafficking and President Bush's annual certification of Mexico's compliance in the drug war.
The 14-year-old law has been a source of contention between the two countries, and Reich said he thought a proposed suspension of the policv would help relations between the two.
"I think Mexicans think it's very hypocritical," Reich said. "America is checking on their enforcement while U.S. citizens help provide the market for these drugs. It couldn't help but improve relations."

Complaints more common off-campus
Noise irks neighbors
It's Friday night, and the loud music next door makes the pictures on the wall shake.
On a Friday night, this might be tolerable because it's the weekend, said Jay Sanderson, Douglass junior. But it's not tolerable on weeknights, he said, and it's even less tolerable if the noise is a continuous problem.
Noise complaints aren't too frequent on campus, said Sgt. Troy Mailen of the KU Public Safety Office. But they abound within city limits, said Lawrence police Sgt. Mike Pattrick.
Most of the calls come on weekend nights, Pattrick said, and the calls are generally about loud stereo noise, rather than loud parties.
But ongoing noise or upset neighbors who call to file a formal complaint and request prosecution could change the response, Patrick said.
When a call comes in, officers contact the people in control of the noisy property and let them know the police have received a noise complaint, Pattrick said. The noisy offenders are then given an opportunity to quiet down.
"In that case, if the officers get there and the noise level is enough for a normal person to be disturbed, they issue a notice to appear," he said.
On campus, the complaints are not as frequent, Malen said, and campus housing tends to take care of any complaints within the housing system on its own.
"We get a few, but they're few and far between." Malen said.
when someone does complain, officers knock on the noisy resident's doors, identify themselves and ask the resident to turn down the stereo or limit the noise.
"We're pushing for compliance," Malten said. "We're not there just to cite somebody under the city noise ordinance. We push for compliance first. On subsequent visits we might issue citations."
Off campus, the biggest question is whether the annoyed resident should call the police.
Some apartment residents said they would not call the police because they feared repercussions from their neighbors or because they did not think it was a big problem. Others said talking to the noisy neighbors would not solve anything and calling the police was the only solution.
Sanderson, who lives in the 1400 block of Apple Lane, near 15th Street and Kasold Drive, said he and his roommates usually pounded on the walls and hollered through them for their neighbors to quiet down. When that didn't work, sometimes they called the police.
first semester the people above us would party every night," he said. "A lot of it I put up with and said, 'We're in college. It's going to happen.' But you can only take so much of it."
Cara Haughney, a Shawnee senior who lives in an apartment near 10th and Arkansas streets, said she thought that was the mentality of college students in apartments.
"People just assume that when we're at home, we're wanting to have fun, and it's OK to be loud and obnoxious," she said. "If you're going to study, you literally have to leave to study."
Neon lights OK, but not to illuminate empty bottles

Policy on cans doesn't apply to dorm beer signs
By Amanda Beglin writer@kansan.com Kansan staff writer
— some are attached to University residence halls.
Hundreds of students travel on Iowa Street every day, zooming by huge neon "Bud Light" and "Corona" signs as they drive. But the signs aren't all attached to bars
For years, University of Kansas students have hung beer signs in their windows. But a policy adopted last year, which prohibits students from displaying empty alcohol bottles, brings to question why neon beer signs are OK but bottles are not.
Kent Lavene, McCollum Hall complex director, said distinct differences existed between overlooking beer signs and disciplining students for having empty beer bottles.
"Empty bottles imply they were emptied by residents," Lavene said. "And that interferes with the no alcohol policy we have. A beer sign is OK. It's not even against Kansas law."
Diana Robertson, who oversees residence life as the associate director of student housing, said decorative beer bottles were acceptable for display with permission from each residence hall's complex director.
Aaron Abramovitz, Overland Park freshman and MeCollum Hall resident, said the beer signs didn't bother him much, but people passing by could think otherwise.
"It depends on the person, but I bet some adults would see it and think
college students are just drinkers who get drunk every night," Abramovitz said.
But Bryan Vopat, Wilson freshman and Oliver Hall resident, said it didn't matter what other people thought.
can put up whatever they want.
Robertson said she never had addressed any complaints about residence hall beer sigms.
"Unless it's potentially offensive to the community and the public, we're not going to address it," Robertson said. "It just hasn't been a problem." However, a large sign outside of Jayhawker Towers might be offensive.
"COLD BEER" in red letters is posted in a window near the top of one of the towers, a sign that hundreds of college students see every day and thousands of KU basketball
fans may see as they park their cars before night games.
Lavene said if a displayed sign was vulgar enough he would speak to its owner.
"I'd ask, 'Have you thought how people might view this?'" Lavene said. "But you're entering the realm of freedom of speech, so you have to be careful how you work at that. Ideally, I'd want them to take down the sign. Otherwise, we probably wouldn't be having the conversation."
Lavene said he was careful to deal with residents who had beer signs as individuals.
"I don't think any less of them," Lavene said. "But they do put things up that aren't something I'd put up in my window. It's just a personal preference."

Fortunate Eagle part of unwritten history
Native American Movement leader has Lawrence ties
By Mark Hansen Special to the Kansan
Adam Fortunate Eagle isn't listed in the indexes of history textbooks. If his name were there, it would lead readers to information about the Native-American occupation of Alcatraz Island. It would also lead to a picture of him driving a stake into Italy's soil, claiming it for Native Americans.
Not many know about his life, and even fewer know he attended what is now Haskell Indian Nations University from 1944 to 1948. Back then, it was Haskell Indian Institute. Fortunate Eagle revisited Lawrence in September as a featured speaker at the American Indian Leaders Conference, which took place at the University of Kansas and Haskell. It was the first time he'd been to Lawrence since the early 1970s.
At the conference, he wore deep indigo jeans and a vest embroidered with floral designs. His silver-gray pony tails dangled on each of his shoulders as he gave a historical summary of the lack of Native-American religious freedom in the United States.
Dan Wildcat, professor of humanities at Haskell, said Fortunate Eagle kept a low profile compared to other leaders of the American Indian Movement.
Karen Swisher, president of Haskell, said she hadn't realized Fortunate Eagle's importance until she heard him at the conference.
"There's always those significant people in the background," she said. "It happens to a lot of people who have played a significant role in contemporary history."
Fortunate Eagle said he didn't make a lot of speaking appearances. "I'm not a conference Indian," he said.
Bav Area Watershed
Spanish explorer Juan Manuel de Ayala named Alcatzal Island in 1775.
The United States Department of Justice used Alcatraz as a military prison from 1868 to 1933. It was then a federal prison of notoriety from 1933 to 1963.
An 1888 treaty stated that unused government property could be made an Indian reservation. Fortunate Eagle found that the island fit the description, and helped write a proclamation stating Native American right to the land.
PETER M. DAVID
Fortunate Eagle and other Bay area activists had a vision of the neglected island as a Native-American university and cultural center.

FBI as a "principal organizer" of an unarmed takeover of Alcatraz. In all, 5,600 Native Americans spent time on the island during the occupation.
Life on the island slowly grew chaotic, and federal marshals forced them off the island by in June 1971, without the deed to the island or cultural center they had requested. Alcatraz has been a national recreation area since 1972.
The occupation became a watershed for Native-American rights and reservation protection.
Italy Reclaimed
Fortunate Eagle stepped off a plane in Rome and drove a spear into Italian soil on Sept. 24, 1992. In full Chippewa tribal dress, he claimed Italy — or just asked a question.
"I like to be acknowledged as the discoverer of Italy," he said. "It's all about making people think. Is it logical for somebody to stick a flag in a land with millions of people? A
European claimed Pike's Peak."
Fortunate Eagle's claim was based on the Right of Discovery Columbus invoked when he claimed Hispaniola. Fortunate Eagle's humorous spirit has the double edge of biting truth. How can a land that has been inhabited by generations of natives be discovered and claimed?
Fortunate Eagle said in contrast to Columbus' claim by force, his was one of peace. For his actions, he garnered media attention and a visit with the pope.
Lawrence Memories and History at Haskell Fortuneate Eagle, born Adam Nordwall, grew up on the Chippewa Reservation in Red Lake, Minn., before moving to Lawrence.
Lawrence Memories and History at I
"There have been tremendous changes," he said. "There's more hustle-bustle. Old Lawrence was the Lawrence, it was Mass. Street. We'd go to the theater and the roller skating rink. Again, if we could afford it."
He said he has good memories of Haskell. He met his wife at Haskell, which he refers to as the "love boat of the prairies."
When Fortunate Eagle attended Haskell, it was a two-year institute. Today it is a four-year university.
Fortunate Eagle said the original school grounds extended to the Wakarusa River, providing farming land for the school. The land was later given to Baker University, and is now known as the Baker Wetlands. Fortunate Eagle called this a "government termination policy."
He was dismayed at the attempts to extend K-10 over Baker Wetlands' sacred grounds.
"Once you consecrate that ground (as sacred), it's that," he said.
Haskell students weren't allowed to conduct religious ceremonies when Fortunate Eagle attended.
"We didn't have sweat lodges," he said. "The authorities would not have allowed it. It would have been virtually unthinkable to do a sweat lodge at Haskell in 1945. We were required to go to church. I was baptized as an Episcopalian. What truth is that? I may have been baptized, but not in my mind."
"I like to be acknowledged as the discoverer of Italy.
Although he may have encountered some religious struggles at Haskell, Fortunate Eagle remembers good times on the Haskell track team. He was also a letterman on the

Adam Fortunate Eagle Native American Movement leader
Fortunate Eagle said there had been a hierarchy at Haskell that put whites above Native Americans, whose voices were stifled when Fortunate Eagle was a student.
football team
"There was no such thing as activism in that day," he said. "The government exuded total control — we were wards of the government."
In 1945, Haskell only offered programs in secretarial arts. The curriculum was expanded when veteran Franklin Gritts came to Haskell in 1948 to teach commercial arts. Fortunate Eagle said Gritts arrival marked a turning point.
He learned skills that lead to a job as a commercial artist at Center Studios in Kansas City, Mo.
Art has remained an integral part of Fortunate Eagle's life since his time at Haskell.

Fortunate Eagle is the Spiritual Leader of the Keepers of the Sacred Tradition of Pipemakers, a group based in Minnesota. He makes sculptures in alabaster and peace pipes and has received the governor's award for folk arts in New Mexico.
And his work is well-known.
"Janet Rohden received a pipe," he said. "Cordy Rohden has two of them."
Although veterans could go to college with help from the GI Bill, Native Americans had limited options in the 1940s.
Fortunate Eagle wonders if he would have pursued more art if he had been given the opportunity. Perhaps a degree in law or medicine.
But Fortunate Eagle has received his share of honors for the work he has done.

Next Frontiers
Among other things, Fortunate Eagle is now working on screenplays. He sees Hollywood as a frontier for Native-American equality and the eradication of NativeAmerican stereotypes.
He has written the book *Alcatraz!* *Alcatraz!:* The Indian Occupation of 1969-1971 and also Heart of the Rock, scheduled to be released this summer.

Drunken drivers may face harsher penalties
The Associated Press
TOPEKA — Drivers who refuse to take sobriety tests could be sent to jail under a Senate bill that would also toughen the sentences for people convicted of drunken driving.
The measure is aimed in part at drivers who scoff at the current penalty for refusing to take a blood-alcohol test. a license suspension that critics say is too often ignored by motorists who keep driving anway.
Under the bill, refusing a sobriety test would be a Class B misdemeanor, giving judges the option of putting "repeat refusers" in jail for up to six months.
"This would give the judge some teeth in 'refusal' cases," said Kevin Graham, an assistant attorney general who is tracking the bill.
"When you're dealing with repeat
Without the results of a blood-alcohol test, prosecutors are forced to prove a drunken driving case based on a police officer's testimony. Observers say many of those cases go unprosecuted.
"The word on the street is that you're better off refusing the test," said Max Sutherland, executive director of Mothers Against Drunk Driving in Kansas.
DUI offenders, at some point the issue becomes one of incapacitation — physically taking them off the road to protect the citizens," Graham said.
The measure would also stiffen the penalties for drunken driving convictions.
Under current Kansas law, a first conviction is punishable by 48 hours to six months in jail and a $500 fine. Senate Bill 215 would keep the jail time unchanged but increase the fine
to $1,000.
For second offenses, the minimum time a person must actually spend behind bars would double under the bill to 10 days from the current five days. Minimum jail time and fines would increase with subsequent convictions.
The bill is hardly a slam dunk.
the bill is hardy, a smart count.
Sen. Ed Pugh, R-Wamego, who chairs a subcommittee working on the bill, wants to know why county attorneys don't do more to prosecute those who refuse blood-alcohol tests.
"You can convict someone (of drunken driving) without a Breathalyzer, but for some reason it looks like they're not being prosecuted when they refuse to take the test," said Pugh, who is an attorney. "I'd like to know why that is."
He said he'd also like to know which judges are imposing minimum sentences. "The ones I'm familiar with will throw the book at you," he said.
It's unclear how many drivers would be affected by the bill.
A similar bill stalled during last year's legislative session
He's now in the Shawnee County Jail.
Convicted drunk-driver Jon Hybskmann is serving back-to-back one-year sentences for drunken driving. But he avoided jail during most of the time while his case was pending by refusing to take a blood-alcohol test after four drunken-driving arrests.
"I'm doing the maximum," he told the Laurence Journal-World by telephone. "And I have to say it is got my attention real quick. A lot of people look at jail and all they see is jail; they don't understand you lose your house, your car, your dog — everything. It makes you think."
Study links heart disease, chronic infections
The Associated Press
DALLAS — New research supports scientists' growing suspicion that a variety of common lingering infections may raise the risk of hardening of the arteries.
The study, conducted by Austrian and Italian researchers, is the latest to suggest that diseases of the heart and circulatory system are more common in people with chronic bacterial infections, such as gum disease, sinus infections, bronchitis and urinary tract infections.
The research found that such chronic infections might triple the
risk of atherosclerosis, the build-up of clogging deposits in the arteries.
One of the researchers, Dr. Stefan Kiechl of Austria's Innsbruck University Clinic, said the findings may offer clues to how to prevent cardiovascular disease.
Researchers suspect that the bodywide inflammation prompted by these infections somehow triggers the production of plaque in the arteries. However, Kleich said more studies were needed to show whether antibiotics or anti-inflammatory drugs could slow or stop this process.
The results could explain why some people develop cardiovascular dis
ease even though they do not have the classic risk factors such as high blood pressure, obesity, diabetes or lack of exercise, said Dr. Valentin Fuster of Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York City.
Fuster said the findings suggest doctors should be more aggressive about reducing the risk of chronic infection by persuading patients to quit smoking, improve dental health and eat properly.
The study was published in the latest issue of the American Heart Association's journal Circulation.
The researchers looked for changes in the carotid arteries — the main
blood vessels supplying the brain of 826 men and women. The volunteers were all white, ranged in age from 40 to 79, and one-third had chronic infections.
After five years, 41 percent of them had new build-ups in their carotid arteries. The risk of this was three times higher in those with chronic infections.
Kleichl said the tendency to develop new plaques was strongly associated with the presence of chronic bacteria-caused ailments, such as bronchitis and sinusitis, but not chronic viral diseases, such as herpes zoster or hepatitis B.

Meteor contains crystals like those formed by bacteria
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON A crystal found in a meteorite from Mars could only have been formed by a microbe and may be evidence of the oldest life form ever found, researchers say.
Scientists at the Johnson Space Center in Houston say that a crystalized magnetic mineral, called magnetite, found in a Martian meteorite is similar to crystals formed on Earth by bacteria.
"Iam convinced that this is supporting evidence for the presence of ancient life on Mars," said Kathie Thomas-Kepra, an astrobiologist at the space center and the first author of a study appearing today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Thomas-Keprta said there was no report of such magnetites being formed by any but biologic means.
The magnetite crystal was found in a Mars meteorite called Allen Hills 84001, or ALH84001.
Researchers at the Johnson Space Center in 1996 announced that the space rock contained microscopic evidence of life, but their claim had been dismissed by most other researchers.
The new finding is supported by a second paper in Proceedings.
E. imre Friedmann, a biologist at NASA's Ames Research Center in Moffett Field, Calif., said an electron microscope examination of ALHB4001 had produced evidence of magnetite crystals formed in chains.
Friedmann said that on Earth the bacteria that make magnetite form the material in chains and that these chains are surrounded by a membrane. Under the electron microscope, fossilized images of both the chains and the membrane can be seen, he said.
"We see chains that could have been formed only biologically," Friedmann said. "There is no way you could come up with a nonbiological explanation."
On Earth, some bacteria that live on the bottom of lakes produce magnetite as a navigation aide. The magnetic crystals act as a sort of compass to allow the bacteria to orient itself as it moves along the lake bottom.
require an environment that is low in oxygen. The built-in-compass "helps them navigate in the proper oxygen levels," he said.
Thomas-Keprta said the magnetite was "a bacteria fossil, sort of like dinosaur bones."
Friedmann said the bacteria
Because of this age, said Thomas-Keprta, "this is evidence of the oldest life form ever found."
She said magnetite could not come from Earth organisms because it was encased inside the meteorite in a carbonate mineral that has been age-dated at 3.9 billion years old.
Some researchers who rejected the 1996 study by the Johnson Space Center scientists said they are not convinced by the new evidence.
Ralph P. Harvey, a geologist who has studied ALH84001, said the new conclusions are "hasty" and should not be accepted without further study.
"I don't think this report should be considered as proof" that life ever existed on Mars, said Harvey, but he did not totally reject the Thomas-Kepra interpretation.
"The door is still open until further evidence is rolled out," said Harvey.
He said he was troubled that
Thomas-Keprta and her coauthors found many crystals of magnetite in the meteorite, but are reporting only on those crystals that they believe could have come from bacteria.
"All of the rest of the magnetites say 'No to life,' said Harvey. "They are focusing only a minority of magnetites in this rock."
Also, said Harvey, the researchers are concluding that the selected crystals could be formed only by a life process when there is little research to support this.
"Their support for these magnetite crystals is that they have never been found in a nonbiological setting," he said. "It is in my mind hasty to rule out another origin."
At 4.6 billion years, ALH84001 is the oldest of 16 meteorites found on Earth and identified chemically as originating from Mars. Scientists believe that an asteroid smashed into Mars 13 to 16 million years ago and catapulted the Martian chunk into orbit. It wandered in space for millions of years and finally fell to Earth about 13,000 years ago. It was found on the Allen Hills ice field in Antarctica in 1984 and has been intensely studied since.
Iraqis won't allow weapons inspectors
Associated Press
UNITED NATIONS — Iraq's foreign minister ruled out the return of U.N. weapons inspectors to the country even if sanctions were removed
This set a stark tone yesterday at the start of talks designed to help break a stalemate that has kept the inspectors out of Baghdad since 1998.
"There will be no return for any inspectors in Iraq — even if sanctions are totally lifted," Foreign Minister Mohammed Saeed al-Sahhaf said as he entered U.N. headquarters.
Al-Sahafh suggested that Iraq could allow U.N. monitoring of its weapons facilities, which are less intrusive than inspections.
al-Sahhaf was going to the headquarters for an afternoon meeting with Secretary-General Kofi Annan on the first day of two-day talks between Iraq and the United Nations.
This would only be allowed, however, if the 10-year-old sanctions
"There will be no return for any inspectors in Iraa."
Mohammed al-Sahhaf
Iraq Foreign Minister
were immediately lifted and if Israel and other countries in the Middle East were similarly monitored for weapons of mass destruction.
If there is a need for U.N. monitoring in Iraq, he said, it should be to fulfill a U.N. resolution that says Iraq's disarmament would help make the entire Middle East free of the weapons.
"What is implemented in Iraq should be implemented in other states in the region," al-Sahhaf said. "That means in our view that this should be implemented on Israel and all other countries if they want monitoring in Iraq."
Al-Sahhaf said his delegation had given Annan detailed proof in
the opening session of talks yesterday that Iraq had no biological, chemical or nuclear weapons and no long-range missiles that could be used to deliver them. Therefore, he said, the sanctions should be lifted.
According to U.N. resolutions, sanctions imposed after Iraq's 1990 invasion of Kuwait cannot be lifted until the Security Council is convinced Iraq has rid itself of its weapons of mass destruction.
U. N. weapons inspectors left Iraq on Dec. 16, 1998 — hours before the United States and Britain launched a four-day airstrike campaign to punish Baghdad for what they said was its failure to cooperate with U.N. arms searches.
Annan had expressed optimism that reviews of the sanctions by the United States and other countries marked an "important and healthy shift" that could help break the impasse over arms searches.
The Bush administration is reviewing its Iraq policy to make
sanctions more effective in light of waning support in the Middle East and elsewhere for the measures, which critics say have impoverished Iraq's 23 million people.
"For a long time the attitude had been 'This is our policy. This the way we do things.'" Annan said. "But I think recently we have put on the table that critical question of 'What should we be doing?'
"That in itself is an important and healthy shift. And I hope out of this review and search will emerge a constructive way forward."
U. S. Secretary of State Colin Powell has heard a chorus of criticism of the policy during a Middle East tour.
Powell will recommend to President George W. Bush an easing of curbs on some civilian exports, including water pumps and refrigerators, that Washington had previously balked at, a senior U.S. official said yesterday.
Powell has said the United States wants to make the sanctions more effective by focusing their more on the Iraqi leadership.
U.S. report condemns human rights record
The Associated Press
WASHINGTON — One day before Colombian President Andres Pastrana is to meet with President George W. Bush, the State Department issued a report denouncing the Colombian government's human rights record.
Police and soldiers commit murders, high-ranking officers are rarely held accountable for offenses and security forces do little to stop right-wing paramilitaries, the department said in its annual report examining human rights worldwide.
"Members of the security forces collaborated with paramilitary groups that committed abuses, in some instances allowing such groups to pass through roadblocks, sharing information or providing them with supplies or ammunition," the report stated.
The report's release coincided with Pastrana's four-day visit to the United States.
The visit is providing the Colombian armed forces with combat helicopters and troop training under a $1.3 billion anti-drug aid package.
The package makes Colombia the third-largest recipient of U.S. military aid.
Assessed about the report order he met with Rep. Henry Hyde, R-Ill., Pastrana stressed areas of progress noted in the report, such as efforts to improve the judicial system and professionalize the military.
"In global terms, I think it is a fair report of the realities we are living in in Colombia." he said.
Earlier, in a meeting with U.S. reporters before the report was released, Pastrana said his government had made progress in human rights but recognized more needed to be done.
"We are working very hard basically, and we are very committed right now in trying to achieve a way of really controlling what is happening inside our country regarding violations of human rights," he said.
The report echoes many of the criticisms made before by human rights groups, who say the number of massacres
1s rising.
But the source of the report — the U.S. government — and its timing are awkward for Pastrana. It diverts attention from issues he hoped to stress in his visit, such as renewing and expanding 10-year-old Andean trade preferences and securing U.S. involvement in the Colombian peace process.
Pastrana said he would like the United States to resume contacts with Colombia's largest leftist guerrilla group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia.
The Colombian government is in slow-moving peace talks with the group.
The United States broke contact with the group after three Americans were kidnapped and killed by rebels in 1999.
Colombia's human rights record was a major concern last year when lawmakers approved the $1.3 billion aid package.
Before the money could be spent, Congress required the Clinton administration to certify that Colombia had met a series of human rights conditions.
The administration found that most conditions had not been met, but allowed the aid to go through, citing national security concerns.
In his meeting with reporters, Pastrana stressed his government's efforts to fight paramilitaries, who are blamed for the country's worst atrocities.
Pastrana said that a special brigade had been created to capture them, that the government is confiscating their assets and dismissing soldiers linked to them.
The State Department noted some improvements in Colombia's legal system, but said "the government's human rights record remains poor."
Paramilitaries and leftist guerrillas were blamed for most of the violence, with paramilitaries "responsible for an increasing number of massacres and other politically motivated killings."

Missing players risk toppling Jayhawk Jenga
With a week left in the regular season, it's time to reflect on what kind of year it it's been for Roy Williams' Jayhawks.
In order to better illustrate the Kansas season, let's take our focus off the games played on the hardwood and onto the games played in your living room. Buried under the Chinese Checkers and sitting on top of the Yahtee box is a game that perfectly shows the kind of challenge the Jayhawks have faced this year — the classic party pastime, Jenga.
For those of you who aren't familiar with Jenga, it's a game where you gradually remove the bottom blocks of a tower one by one until the structure falls apart. I've never been that thrilled with the game myself, but if you remember ESPN's commercial with Kenny Mayne and John Randle, that should show you just how exciting Jenga can be.
As each piece of the foundation is slowly removed and stacked back on top, the anticipation builds as everyone awaits to see which piece's removal will cause the collapse.
Jenga is a good comparison for the Jayhawks' season because since the first week of the season, precious pieces of the Kansas puzzle have slowly been taken away. When a severe ankle sprain temporarily jarred Luke Axtell's block loose, the tower wobbled a bit, but no more than the goal posts did at Memorial Stadium last fall. The structure was obliterated when Kenny Gregory's piece was removed against Wake Forest, but that collapse was quickly built back up.
The foundation stood strong in the early part of Big 12 Conference play as Kansas won its first six games before suffering a set back at Missouri. Then the cookie really started to crumble.
Axtell's piece was removed again because of an ailing back, and Mario Kinsey's block was thrown out of the box because of his suffering grades. And then there was the biggest blow yet.
The Hawks second-leading scorer and best rebounder, Drew Gooden, was plucked from the picture. An injured wrist suffered against Texas has kept Gooden's piece out from the foundation for the last five games. Even though he will return tomorrow against Kansas State, removing his block jolted the Jenga like none before.
Losses at Baylor and Iowa State were tough, and Gooden was sorely missed in both contests. But even with him removed, the Jayhawks have still managed to win three of the five games — proving that while his piece of the tower is extremely important, it's not completely essential to the puzzle.
When Gooden returns and Axtell gets closer to 100 percent, the Jayhawk Jenja will be back in business again. There is one piece however, that if removed, will crush Kansas for good. That piece is Kirk Hinrich.
The sophomore point guard is the glue that holds this team together and the block that keeps the 'Hawks standing tall. His value has become more and more apparent since Gooden was removed two weeks ago.
During the last five games, Hinrich has stepped up and filled the void by scoring just less than 19 points a game. He's an offensive catalyst who can score at will and distribute the ball like no other. He leads the team in shooting percentage from behind the arc at 52.9 percent, which also places him amongst the nation's top 10. He's the most consistent free-throw shooter on the team and leads the conference with 187 assists on the year. While he occasionally turns the ball over, he makes up for it with great defense as he leads the team with 33 steals.
Hanmi is a Topeka junior in journalism.
Hinrich continues to improve with every game he plays — just look at his most recent efforts: He was just three rebounds shy of the first triple double in school history as he put up 20 points, 11 assists and collected seven boards in Lincoln, Neb., Sunday.
The Jayhawks would still be able to win ball games here and there without Hinrich's Jenga block. But Kansas' tournament hopes would be down for the count if his piece was removed.
Collison steps up in Gooden's absence
By Zac Hunter sports@kanson.com
Kansas sportwriter
Since fellow sophomore forward Drew Gooden sat out for the first of five straight games with a wrist injury two weeks ago, Nick Collison has turned his game up a few notches. He is averaging 16.1, up from his season average of nearly 14 points, since the Jayhawks have been sans Gooden.
While a two-point increase in scoring production may not seem like much, take into consideration that Collison was under the weather for the games against Baylor and Iowa State, and those two points take on a bigger meaning.
"Without Drew Gooden, who is our second-leading scorer and leading rebounder, we needed to get more concentrated scoring from Nick," said Kansas coach Roy Williams. "I think we tried consciously to get him the basketball."
And that is exactly what Kansas has done during the absence of Gooden, who has been cleared to play tomorrow against Kansas State. Nevertheless, it was Collison's performance during the last two games turning some heads.
He scored a career-high 26 points in a 91-79 win against Colorado on Wednesday in Allen Fieldhouse, and topped off the week by scoring 22 in Kansas' 78-74 win against Nebraska on Sunday in Lincoln. Those two games got Collison noticed by the Big 12 Conference, which awarded him Player of the Week honor for the second time this season yesterday.
So what is the key to Collison's improved play? Ask him and he'll give you a simple answer.
"I was just getting a lot of touches inside and getting them to fall." Collison said after his career-high point total against Colorado. "I had a lot of fun out there tonight, and I think that was key. I also had some success from the foul line and that helped a lot also."
While his point total in the Colorado game was impressive, it was his seven assists that really got William's attention.
to score when the other team's defense is aimed at him, and I think that's what other teams have done the last couple games. But still, he has come through and did a nice job for us."
"It is hard for a young man
Roy Williams Kansas coach
"Nick is having a heck of a year and came up big tonight," Williams said after the game. "The most amazing thing is seven assists and two turnovers. He can play the game totally and does a great job."
While the Big 12 is recognizing him for his outstanding play during the last week, Collison has been a consistent threat in the low post for the Hawks all season. He is hitting better than 60 percent of his shots for the season, which leads the conference.
He has also hit the shots while receiving the focus of the opponents defense.
"It is hard for a young man to score when the other team's defense is aimed at him, and I think that's what other teams have done the last couple games," Williams said. "But still, he has come through and did a nice job for us."
While much of the focus is on Collison's offense, he has been an intimidating force on the defensive end. He ranks fifth in the conference in blocks at 1.75, and swatted five shots in 36 minutes in Sunday's game against Nebraska.

Kansas' top duo improves ranking

— the pair is ranked No. 14 in doubles.
Kansas tennis players Rodrigo Echagarray and Eleazar Magallan know something about national markings
Echagaray, a junior, and Magallan, a sophomore, also have earned spots on the 12man Big 12 Conference preseason singles team and were one of six teams with spots on the all-league doubles team.
They helped improve their ranking by advancing to the consolation finals in the Rolex National Intercollegiate Indoor Championships Feb. 1 to Feb. 4, which showcased many of the nation's top ranked doubles tandems.
"There are a lot of good teams in the tournament," Echagaray said. "It was very important to

go into the tournament with a winning mentality."
"We were very inconsistent in the opening round," Echagaray said. "We were unsatisfied because we did not play well."
"Returns are a solid part of Rodrigo's game, and volleying is a strong part of my game," Magallan said. "We have played together for a year now, and that definitely helps a lot."
Echagaray and Magallan attempted to turn things around in upcoming matches by concentrating on strong aspects of each player's game.
But this was not the duo's biggest win. The Jayhawks upset Florida's No. 3 Olivier Levant and Nathan Overholser 6-3 and 6-2 before losing to UCLA's No. 1 Jean-Noel Ginda and Jean-Julien Rojer in the consolation finals.
This strategy worked as Echagaray and Magallan went on to defeat No. 10 Cody Hubble and Jarin Skube from Texas A&M in straight sets.
Kansas coach Ross Nwachukwu said he was impressed with Echagaray and Magallan's play during the match.
"It was nice to see the guys bounce back from the early-round defeat," he said.

Nelson turns down pros for second time
By Courtney Craigmile
sportskansan.com
Special to the Kansan
The Seattle Mariners came knocking at John Nelson's door last summer, but the shortstop shut it in their faces, turning down the big league for the second time.
He wanted to play his senior year at Kansas.
The Los Angeles Dodgers drafted Nelson, a Denton, Texas, senior, straight out of high school in the 40th round of the 1979 Draft. Although the deal was tempting, Nelson didn't think he was ready for the pros just yet — and his parents agreed.
"My husband played sports in college, and I know that's what he wanted him to experience — the camaraderie of a team, playing in different colleges, the fight song, that kind of college experience," said Teresa Nelson. John's mother.
Nelson enjoyed the college experience so much that he decided to stay in Lawrence even after the Mariners drafted him in the
39th round of the 2000 Draft.
Kansas coach Bobby Randall said Nelson made the right choice by deciding to stay.
Nelson: will play his senior year at Kansas
NY
"He's playing the best baseball of his life right now," Randall said. "I think he's probably having the most fun. He'll sign a professional contract without a doubt and when he does, he'll be ready to go."
Nelson began his affair with baseball as a Cincinnati Reds fan. As Nelson matured, so did his passion for the sport — as a player, not a spectator.
At Kansas, Nelson spends about four hours a day in practice, not to mention the 55 games the team will play this season.
"We home-schooled our kids." Teresa said. "So when they finished their work at about noon, my husband would take our
boys out and take them to a baseball field and play with them and coach them and drill them."
"Timewise, I don't get to do a lot of stuff," he said. "After practice, I go home, eat, try to get as much stuff as I can done, and crash."
Devoting so much time to baseball has paid off. Randall pees Nelson as great player.
"He's a good hitter this year." Randall said. "He's played so hard. He always has."
"You try to get as much as you can done before you leave because you're too worn
Last season, Nelson led the Big 12 Conference with 42 stolen bases. He batted .308 and had 21 RBL
But the dedication makes balancing a full academic schedule difficult.
This season, Nelson is leading the team with a .365 average and has swiped 10 bases in 11 attempts for the Jayhawks (6-4 overall and 0-3 in the Big 12).
GAME CANCELED
Because of the forecast for snow last night and today, the Kansas baseball game against Creighton scheduled for 3 p.m. this afternoon has been canceled. No makeup date has been scheduled. Depending on weather conditions, the Kansas/Baker game scheduled for tomorrow at 3 p.m. may still be played.
out you're not wanting to do it later," said Nelson, an education major.
Once Kansas baseball is behind him, Nelson wants to stay involved in baseball. He said he hoped for a shot at the pros this season. After that, he plans to teach and coach high school baseball.
Whatever the future brings, his mom isn't worried.
"There's going to be something else after baseball," Teresa said. "It's going to be good whatever it is. He can handle it."

HOROSCOPES
Today's Birthday (Feb. 27).
Finish up an old project this year before tackling a new one. You may decide to forgo little security to achieve much more. Keep doing what you're doing, even if it's hard, in March. Gather the rewards and save them in April. Review a class you once flunked in May. Complete your household projects in June. Make sure your loved ones know how much you care in July, through deeds and words. Stay in your same old routine through August, but you may have outgrown it by September. Discomfort forces you to put new skills to the test, and relocation or an upgrade to your home is likely around October.

KANSAS BASKETBALL
Kansas sophomore forward Drew Gooden has been cleared to play against Kansas State, coach Roy Williams announced yesterday.
Hawks back in business with Gooden's return
After tests and an office visit yesterday morning, Gooden's physicians determined the bone in his wrist had healed enough to allow him to return to the court.
"We are very pleased to have Drew back," Williams said. "He is as anxious as any player I've ever seen to get back in action. We will watch his wrist closely, and if any negative developments occur, then we'll have to stop his play again."
女
Gooden, Kansas' second-leading scorer and leading rebounder, missed the Jayhawks' last five games after injuring his right wrist against Texas on Feb. 3. He averages 15.6 points and 8.4 rebounds per game.
The Jayhawks (21-5 overall and 10-4 in the Big 12 Conference) return to action at 8 p.m. tomorrow night against K-State in Bramlage Coliseum.
-Kansan staff report
texas coach Mack Brown told the team of the death yesterday afternoon at a meeting that had been scheduled to prepare for spring practice. The workouts were supposed to begin today, but have been postponed indefinitely.
The 6-foot-5, 265-pound Pittman played defensive tackle as a freshman, then moved to end last fall. He started the first three games in 2000. He had 30 tackles, two sacks, five tackles for loss and five quarterback pressures. He also caused one fumble in his career.
"We've lost a member of our family and it really hurts. Every member of our team is like a son and you can never prepare yourself for something like this. I don't even know how to begin."
"This is the hardest thing I have faced in 29 years of coaching," the Longhorns' coach said.
Pittman enrolled at Texas in the spring of 1999 after helping Evalgent High to three consecutive Louisiana 1A state titles. He was a first-team all-state performer and was named second-team All-USA by USA Today.
"This is absolutely devastating news," men's athletic director DeLoss Dodds said. "Our entire athletics program is grieving this loss."

COLLEGE FOOTBALL
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas defensive end Cole Pittman was found dead yesterday at the scene of a one-car accident.
State troopers discovered Pittman's truck on the side of U.S. Route 79 near Easterly.
Applewhite is Texas' career passing leader, but Brown was nothing short of absolute when declaring Simms his starter this spring and presumably next fall as well.
LAUTORAT DE LA CONSEILS
Pittman, a sophomore who played in 23 games in his two seasons at Texas, was returning to school from his family's home in Shreveport, La.
Texas, about 100 miles northeast of Austin.
Texas defensive end killed in car accident
AUSTIN, Texas — Texas coach Mack Brown wasted no time putting to rest any speculation about the Longhoms' starting quarterback in spring practice: Chris Simms is a firm No. 1 and Major Applewhite is the backup.
Longhorns name Simms their No.1 quarterback
"They will be competing, but there's no question Chris is the starter," Brown said yesterday. "We don't feel the need to alternate guys like we did the first of last year."
Simms threw four interceptions against the Ducks but still had the Longhorns in position to tie the game late before his receivers dropped three potential game-tying touchdowns.
Simms started the last three games and led Texas to wins against Kansas and Texas A&M before a 35-30 loss to Oregon in the Holiday Bowl.
The quarterback positions has been in question since the end of the 1999 season when Applewhite went down with a knee injury.
"Some people think you should play Major because he played well early in his career and won some great games," Brown said. "We appreciate that. The only thing that's important to us is the guy who can help us win."
The Longhoms were ranked No. 12 at the end of last season.
backs last season before a sprained knee sidelined Applewhite again.
By naming Simms his starter now, Brown hopes to defuse a situation that he acknowledged was a distraction for the entire team.
"We want more talk about our football team instead of individuals," Brown said. "We think there was entirely too much talk about two quarterbacks last year."
Brown flip-flopped the two quarter-
Quarterback position in limbo for Chiefs
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Racing against a Friday deadline, the Kansas City Chiefs must either rework Elvis Grabc's huge contract or find another quarterback.
Yesterday, they were exploring both options.
NFL
The Chiefs have begun preliminary talks with the St. Louis Rams for quarterback Trent Green, agent Jim Steiner confirmed yesterday. They are also working on restructuring the contract for Grbc, which calls for a cap-busting $10 million bonus if he's on the roster by Friday, when all NFL teams need to be at the salary cap spending limit for 2001 of $67.4 million.
Steiner, the agent for both Green and Grbac, said he expected the talks to heat up in the next three days.
The Chiefs ended the season almost $30 million above the cap and have already released several veterans, including running backs Donnell Bennett and Kimble Anders, in an effort to reduce their salary total.
"The Rams are shopping Trent, no question about it," Steiner told The Associated Press.
A similar report appeared yesterday on CSN. Sportsline.com.
Steiner said his information was that the Chiefs had offered first and second-round draft picks in exchange for Green and a second-round choice.
Dick Vermeil, the former St. Louis Rams coach who became head man with the Chiefs last month, has said he would like to retain the 30-year-old Grbac, who went to the Pro Bowl after passing for more than 4,000 vards and 28 touchdowns last year.
Ironically, the second-round pick the Chiefs are asking for is the one they were required to give the Rams as compensation for letting him out of his contract to replace Gunther Cunningham in Kansas City.
Green was slated to be Vermell's starter in St. Louis two years ago until he was hurt in the preseason and backup Kurt Warner was given a chance. Warner went on to be named the league's MVP as he led the Rams to the Super Bowl championship.
Steiner said he and the Chiefs have been talking about a way to restructure Grbac's contract to defer payments and provide cap relief.
"If for some reason we wouldn't be able to come to a conclusion and Elvis is a free-agent, then the Chiefs are protecting themselves by talking to other quarterbacks, Steiner said.

Stanford unanimously chosen for top AP spot
The Associated Press
Stanford, the only Division 1 team with fewer than three losses, was a unanimous No.1 in The Associated Press college basketball poll for the second time this season.
The Cardinal (25-1) received all 70 first-place votes and 1,750 points from a national media panel yesterday. This is Stanford's second-straight week atop the poll and sixth this season.
Stanford gets a chance to avenge its only loss of the season on Saturday, when it plays at UCLA.
Duke (25-3) had 1,654 points and moved from fourth to second after wins against Georgia Tech and Wake Forest, the latter on a buzzer-bearer by freshman Chris Duhon.
Michigan State (22.3) moved up two spots to third after wins against Indiana and Penn State.
Both North Carolina, which lost to Virginia by 20 points Sunday, and Illinois, which lost to Ohio State by two points Thursday, dropped two spots to fourth and fifth, respectively.
Florida moved up one place to sixth, and was followed in the Top Ten by Virginia, Iowa State,
Arizona and Kansas.
Boston College dropped one spot, leading the Second Ten, and was followed by UCLA, Notre Dame, Mississippi, Kentucky, Maryland, Oklahoma, St. Joseph's, Syracuse and Alabama.
The last five ranked teams were Georgetown, Wisconsin, Wake Forest, Texas and Xavier.
Both Texas (21-7) and Xavier (21-5) returned to the Top 25, replacing Tennessee and Providence.
Texas has won four straight, the most recent a 94-78 victory against then-No. 6 Iowa State on Saturday. The Longhorns were ranked for three weeks earlier in the season, but had been out of the Top 25 for the last four weeks.
Xavier was ranked 24th for one week, then lost to St. Joseph's and was out the last two weeks. The Musketeers have won three-straight games.
Tennessee (19-9) fell out from 22nd after a 78-70 victory against Vanderbilt on Saturday snapped a five-game losing streak. The Volunteers were ranked No. 4 six weeks ago.
Providence (20-8) was 25th last week — its first ranking since Jan. 24, 1989 — but fell out after going 2-1 last week.

Sooner women clinch Big 12
By Brandon Stinnett sports@kansan.com Kansan sportswriter
The drama has ended in the Big 12 Conference as the Oklahoma women's basketball team clinched its first championship since 1966 Saturday with a 88-83 overtime victory against Oklahoma State.
The win extended a 13-game winning streak for the Sooners (23-4 overall and 14-1 in the Big 12), but Oklahoma State guard Chantaya Hawkins tried to run Oklahoma's chances by knocking down five three-pointers and scoring a career-high 26 points.
A 12-0 run put the Cowgirls (13-13 and 5-10) ahead 72-70 with 13 remaining, but Oklahoma guard Rosalind Ross made two free throws with 25 seconds left that gave the Sooners the lead, 74-72.
Oklahoma State forward Trisha Skibie forced overtime, but Oklahoma made five of six free throws in the overtime and held on to win.
"All the pressure was on us tonight."
Oklahoma coach Sherri Coale said. "But we still found a way to win. I think this shows our dimensions — the depth we have on this team." Cyclones swirl past Aggies
Iowa State (22-4 and 12-3) breezed by Texas A&M in its final home game. 82-61.
Senior guard Megan Taylor became Iowa State's career rebounding leader during the game as her seven rebounds increased her career total to 924, breaking the old record of 921 set by Tony Burns from 1981 to 1965.
Texas A&M forward Jainetta Saunders scored 29 points and became the Aggies' single-season scoring leader with 589 points.
Texas A&M (12-14 and 2-13) matched Iowa State's scoring early, tying the game at 23-23 with 8:46 left in the first half, but five players scored in a 20-2 run that put Iowa State up 43-25.
"We were in the game and the next thing I knew, we were down 15 just that quick," Texas & M coach Peggie Gillom said. "Gosh, when they're draining threes, that's their game, and they do it perfectly."
Texas Tech rips Texas
Texas Tech (21-5 and 12-3)
avenged an earlier home loss against Texas (19-10 and 7-8) with an 76-60 victory Saturday.
Texas Tech forward Plenette Pierson, after being held to just four points in the teams' previous meeting, scored 24 points and hauled in 12 rebounds.
Colorado kicks Wildcats
Colorado (20-6 and 11-4), led by center Britt Hartshorn's 19 points and 12 rebounds, rolled past Kansas State 74-56 on Saturday.
Four Buffaloes scored in double figures in the game. Forward Nicole Ohlie led the Wildcats (12-14 and 2-13) with 20 points. Bears veto "Huskers' victory bid
huskers' victory bid
Baylor (19-7 and 8-7) nudged ahead of Nebraska (12-16 and 4-11) with an 11-3 run early in the second half and cruised to a 77-57 victory on Saturday. Guard Sheila Lambert led the bears with 22 points and forward Danielle Crockrum scored 12 of her 14 in the second half.

Golf team swings into No.19 spot
Sagarin college golf rankings, the team rose to a No. 19 ranking.
This ranking came on the heels of a first-place finish in the Rice Intercollegiate Tournament last week. The Jayhawks combined and fired an 861, which was 12 strokes better than second place Mississippi State.
"We were lucky to play that well without much practice," coach Ross Randall said. "I was pleased because they showed they're kind of touch."
Kansas had to step up its game on short notice after a long layoff from the fall. Unfortunately, the harsh Kansas winter forced the Jayhawks to look for other tournaments around the country far away from Lawrence.
"We hoped to be playing in a tournament in Southern California, but
we weren't invited," Randall said. "We also could have played in a tournament in Arizona. We needed to play in a good tournament at a nice course."
Now, it's mental toughness that Kansas needs, as the team isn't scheduled for another tournament until March 12-13 in the Louisiana Classics Intercollegiate in Lafayette, La.
The almost month-long break between tournaments has left the team with an opportunity to work on certain aspects of its game.
"Assuming we get some good weather, we need to work on everything," Randall said. "The most important thing is to hit balls outside because hitting balls inside doesn't do a whole lot for you."
The break also gives Randall the opportunity to consider what direction the team is headed as it races toward the key part of the season.
"We don't have a superstar yet, but this team is deeper than last year's." It wouldn't surprise me to see a different player play really well each
week." he said.
Depth is an element that Kansas needs considering the overall strength displayed by the Big 12 Conference in men's golf.
The Jayhawks played against conference foes Baylor, Kansas State, Missouri, Nebraska and Texas Tech in the Rice Intercollegiate, but Randall said Kansas had yet to face the true powers of the conference.
"Texas and Oklahoma are coming on real strong and obviously Oklahoma State will be tough since they're the defending national champions," he said.
Despite the challenges that lie ahead in the conference, Randall is pleased with the desire and confidence that his team possesses.
“These guys are a really competitive bunch. They think they have a chance to have a really good year.” Randall said. “Everybody knows we're a pretty good team and hopefully we can see our ranking continue to rise.”

Instill Jayhawk pride give good seats to real fans
O okay, hotshot, think you know all there is to know about Kansas basketball? Let's take a quick quiz:
Which of the following is not a Kansas basketball tradition?
a. Singing the Rock Chalk Chant after every trouncing
b. Camping out with your friends for seats
c. Packing the stadium for Late Night d. Leaving early
If you didn't choose D, it probably means you can get to Allen Fieldhouse five minutes before the game begins. All too many times during this season, and in years past, the student section remains filled until the bitter end, regardless of the outcome, while the rest of the fieldhouse files out early.
This tradition needs to stop.
Many students spend hour after hour waiting in line, anticipating a glimpse of the perennial powerhouse Jayhawks. We may not be able to help the Jayhawks' free throw situation, but we do everything else we possibly can.
We dress the part. We make signs. We jump up and down. Yet some students end up sitting so far back, they have to place one pair of binoculars in front of another to catch the action. But they stay the whole time.
The rest of the fieldhouse seldom stands or participates as Kansas fans should. The wide age range of these sections makes most of the fans' participation understandable — a 70-year-old tossing his wife into the air to the band's rhythm really is not a good idea.
Sports Columnist
Ben Tatar
sports@kansan.com
In spite of this, why leave early? Does the cradle of basketball deserve fans who need to beat the rush home? If that is your reason, give your tickets to people who will donate their full evening to the Jayhawks. Regardless of the score, the traditions of this game and program deserve more than they are being given.
In Durham, N.C., Duke gives its students seats all the way around the court. It is apparent that, though honoring its alumni, the school gives the students the seating privilege because it is a school program.
They dress the part. They make signs. They jump up and down. They stay the whole time.
Three hundred sixty degrees of noise and pride.
So what is missing here? We have the pride and noise, but in the wrong sections. The oddly-shaped student sections cheer on each free-throw; the alumni sit on their wallets. The students hug and sway to the alma mater; the alumni reach the front of the funnel cake line. The Rock Chalk chant begins, and so does a mass exodus to the stairwells.
It is overwhelmingly evident that
while, generally speaking, the majority of the fieldhouse "fans" support the team and program financially, their vocal and visual support makes the game look like it is being held in a geriatric center. There is clearly a misplacement of fans.
It is time to give seating priority to the students. They are the most vocal and visual supporters. As long as the team is a University product, the atmosphere should be largely collegiate.
One idea that should be considered includes taking the number of seats allotted to students, and stretching them at least one length of the court. Leaving the other length open would satisfy the demands of nonstudents, while giving those who stay the entire game some much-deserved credit.
Coach Williams recruits the top prospects to come play at the birthplace of the game, year after year. That quality product is regularly and largely underappreciated. So the next time some of the blue hairs or "wine and cheesers" decide to get up off their checkbooks with four minutes to go against Prairie View A&M, remind them that their ticket is a valuable possession.
Jayhawk basketball has greatly improved the quality of life in Lawrence, as well as instilled in the University a tremendous sense of pride. Plenty would love to have their seat for those four minutes. Plenty others deserve it.
Now, about those free throws

Earnhardt team earns another tearful win
The Associated Press
ROCKINGHAM, N.C. — The company that carries Dale Earnhardt's name is unbeaten on the NASCAR circuit this season. Sadly, the mentor wasn't around to see another of his students lock up the team's second win in as many races.
"It was emotional," Steve Park said yesterday afternoon, standing in Victory Lane at The Rock. "I had tears coming down the last couple of laps."
But then I had to kind of wipe my nose and get back up on the steering wheel," he added, "'cause that's what Dale would have wanted me to do."
That has become the mantra for an entire sport, the reason NASCAR officials and drivers went directly from Earnhardt's memorial service in Charlotte to the garages at the North Carolina Speedway, some two hours to the east. A return to the familiar rhythms of work, a chance to climb back into their cars
NASCAR
and try to impose order on the chaotic world of speed — "That," they all said, "is what Dale would have wanted us to do."
The opposite appeared to be true about the Dura Lube 400, the first NASCAR event in two decades to go off without Earnhardt in the field. A first-lap crash wrecked Dale Earnhardt Jr.'s car and sent a shiver through the sporting world not long before a rainstorm Sunday forced officials to put off the finish until the next day. That ensured there would be no Earnhardt running in the race, period.
Except.
Before he died in a last-lap crash at Daytona nine days ago, Earnhardt had already grudgingly made preparations for the conclusion of his own driving career. Four years ago he started Dale Earnhardt Inc., envisioning DEI as a way to
stay close to the sport while guaranteeing his kids, Dale Jr. and Kerry, a well-funded team to support their own racing careers. But as in everything the 49-year-old Earnhardt ever did, his competitive instincts took over.
He signed an extension during the offseason to continue driving for the team owned by lifelong friend Richard Childress, but that didn't stop Earnhardt from securing the same kind of quality equipment and crew members for DEL. And when he went out to hire drivers, he wasn't prepared to lower the standard, either.
"When you're associated with Dale Earnhardt," Park said, "it's not about running second. You do not get a pat on the back for running second."
Michael Waltrip didn't win in 15 years and 462 races on the NASCAR circuit, but he won the biggest race of them all, the Daytona 500, in his first race for DEI. Park caught Earnhardt's eye with an impressive
performance in a minor-league race at Watkins Glen, N.Y., but what cinched his hiring was a 20 percent winning rate with hopelessly outdated machines.
"If I had to sum it up in one word, it would be desire," Park said. "He knew if he could put the right people and equipment in place, I had the desire. That was very important to him.
"He hired Michael and I." Park added, "but he produced Dale."
One version of the events surrounding Earnhardt's death at Daytona suggests he was running interference for his son, who finished second, and Waltrip once he realized he couldn't win himself. But those he knew Earnhardt best found it hard to imagine him doing anything besides trying to hang onto third place — by his fingernails if need be.
On the last turn of the last lap of yesterday's race, Park was running out of gas and struggling to hold off defending race winner and reigning
Winston Cup Series champion Bobby Labonte. They began battling each other heading into the first turn and it took all the wiles Park had gleaned from his time with Earnhardt to hold off the more experienced Labonte.
By the time Labonte took his final shot in turn 4, only inches separated the front left fender of his Pontiac from the right rear wheel of Park's Chevrolet. It had turned into a game of "chicken."
"We got together off turn 4, and brushed the wall with the right rear of my car," said Labonte, who backed off and finished second. "If I'd been further up beside him, I might have stayed in it."
But a moment later, he acknowledged, "If I'd stayed there, both of us would have wrecked."
Someone asked Park what would have happened if The Intimidator had been behind him instead of Labonte.
Park didn't hesitate.
"There would have been one hell of a wreck." he said.
Sosa plays ball while Cubs ponder new contract
The Associated Press
MESA, Ariz. — Sammy Sosa strolled into the Chicago Cubs clubhouse with a big grin on his face and hugs for anyone within reach.
It wasn't long before the thumping and bumping beat of salsa music filled a clubhouse that's been boardroom quiet this spring.
Yes, folks, Sammy Sosa is here. Fashionably late — as usual — but definitely here.
"What's up fellas? Welcome to my house," he said as he reported to camp yesterday — a day before the mandatory report date and six days after the rest of the Cubs regulars.
CUBS
While Gary Sheffield and Frank Thomas's
sulky demands for new contracts have cast ugly shadows across their camps, don't read anything into Sosa's delayed arrival. It's become a rite of spring, like the Cactus League's answer to the groundhog.
Let other people worry about the ongoing negotiations for a contract extension. Sosa has other things on his mind.
"I came here to be happy and play baseball," he said. "Whatever happens, happens. But right now I'm not thinking about is this going to happen, is it not going to happen. Whatever
happens, God bless.
"I'm here to do a job. I'm here to be a leader, to be a team leader, whatever it's going to take for me to play here."
With Michael Jordan gone and Thomas as fan-friendly as stale popcorn, Sosa is the only sports icon Chicago has. Shrieks of "SAM-MEE!" greet him wherever he goes, and fans jump to their feet when they see him racing out to right field, tapping his chest and blowing kisses.
But many fans are growing weary of multimillionaire athletes asking for more money, and not even Sosa is exempt. He heard a smattering of boos at the Cubs Convention earlier this month, and there have been critical letters in the local papers.
"A lot of people want to complain, but if they really (were in my shoes), they probably would be doing the same thing I do, maybe worse." Sosa said.
Sosa is looking for a longterm extension to his $42.5 million, four-year contract that expires after this season. Though his agents and Andy MacPhail, the Cubs president and general manager, express optimism something will work out, they're a long way from signing a deal.
Sosa is believed to be looking for a six-year deal that would pay him $20 million a year, while the Cubs want a four-year deal for between 17-18 million per season.
Adam Katz and Tom Reich, Sosa's agents,
were at the Cubs camp yesterday, but they were there to see Sosa, not haggle with MacPhail. There's no date for further negotiations, but Katz said the two sides will be talking.
"When dust settles, people realize that it's been a good relationship that should be perpetuated," Reich said. "I also think it has something to do with the quality of dialogue
that has existed. It's cordial and professional. That always improves your chances."
It also helps that Sosa wants to stay with the Cubs.
C
"At the end of the story,
I feel pretty good about
the fact that Sammy will
be here because Sammy
wants to be here," Reich
said. "He wants to be
here. He's had quite an
affair here with the town
and with Cub fans."
"Regardless of what happens, inside the field, I want to take care of business," he said. "Outside the field, I don't have control of anything that happens."
Sosa was distracted by contract talks and a near-trade last summer, and he's vowed the same thing won't happen this year.
Sosa: happy to be playing despite contract questions
So there was Sosa, bopping around the clubhouse and the field with a big smile on face. As the Cubs walked out for their morning stretch with fitness guru Mack Newton, Sosa put his arm around manager Don Baylor and posed for pictures.
And when Newton couldn't find the CD he wanted. Sosa spoke up.
"Hey, you need my CD?" he yelled
He gamedy went through Newton's hourlong, bootcamp-like stretching routine, and took a seat up front for Newton's daily pep talk afterward. When the team split up, Sosa hooted as he bounded away.
While the rest of the Cubs took live batting practice, Sosa worked in the batting cage with hitting coach Jeff Pentland. Then he wandered over to the bench on one of the fields to watch BP, joke with teammates and sign autographs for dozens of fans.
The Cubs start spring training games Thursday, but Baylor doesn't expect Sosa to be in the lineup until next week.
"I'm glad he's here," Baylor said. "Knowing him, he'll get ready in a hurry."
And Sosa intends to. He's got big plans for this year.
"I'm happy because I know we're going to have a chance this year," he said. "We've been making a lot of moves, a lot of improvements."
"I have a good feeling everything's going to be OK."
Thomas holds out, wants higher pay
The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — Frank Thomas, still thinking he's underpaid at $9.9 million per year, was scheduled to meet with Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf yesterday to discuss his salary complaints.
Thomas has refused to practice with the team and has missed six days of workouts. The mandatory reporting date is today, according to baseball's labor agreement.
"I don't know who initiated the meeting, but it's always good to see if someone has a disagreement they are able to sit down and discuss it," White Sox manager Jerry Manuel said yesterday.
As he stood around one of the team's practice diamonds, Reinsdorf refused to comment on Thomas or the meeting, which was announced on the team's Web site.
Thomas' agent, Michael Moye, was not available for comment. A person answering the phone in his Atlanta office said he could be headed to Tucson today.
That's when Manuel hopes Thomas will reappear for the first time since last Wednesday, when
he took a physical and then left the building before a team meeting.
"Tomorrow is the mandatory date for reporting, so hopefully he shows," said Manuel, who's had two telephone conversations with Thomas.
Thomas is scheduled to make $9,927,000 in each of the next six seasons under a deal he signed in
September 1997, but only this year is guaranteed.
Sex
Under a clause in Thomas' contract, if Thomas isn't an All-Star, fails to finish in the top 10 in MVP voting and
Thomas batted .328 with 43 homers and 143 RBI last season following two sub-par years. At the time he signed the extension, it gave him the 10th-highest average salary in baseball.
fails to win a Silver Slugger, the White Sox can change his salary to $250,000 plus $10,125,000 deferred.
Thomas, in turn, could then terminate the contract and elect to become a free agent.
Now he lags far behind, especially after the $252 million, 10-year deal signed by Alex Rodriguez. Thomas said he deserved to be in the upper echelon of salaries.
When Manuel saw Thomas on Wednesday, he said he thought the 11-year veteran was in the best shape he'd seen him. Before he left Wednesday, Thomas told reporters he'd used diet and running to lose eight pounds and build a leaner physique.
If and when Thomas returns, Manuel said he expected him to address the core of the team about his actions. He said the players could handle it in their own way and move on.
"It's still very, very early in spring training, and I don't foresee a problem with him in his conditioning," Manuel said.
Notes: The White Sox held their first intrasquad game. One of the highlights was a beautiful throw from rightfielder Joe Borchard, the team's top draft pick and a former Stanford quarterback, to cut down speedy Chris Singleton at the plate.
"I'm disappointed for Frank," Manuel said. "The team is going to be fine. I think he'll come back and have a great season."
Cardinals still cautious with Ankiel's wild arm
The Associated Press
UPITER, Fla. — The St. Louis Cardinals, continuing the cautious approach with left-hander Rick Ankiel, won't use him in the first five spring training games.
However, an early "B" game appearance is a possibility, as Ankiel continues to try to recover from last year's postseason, when he threw nine wild pitches in four innings.
Most of 'Ankiel's workouts have been held early in the morning, away from the media. Aside from one bad workout, the 21-year-old is making progress, pitching coach Dave Duncan said yesterday.
"He's doing well," Duncan said. "We are very happy with his progress. He's getting close."
The next step for Ankiel is pitching batting practice. If that goes well, he should be ready for "B" games here against the Montreal Expos on March 4 and March 9.
"We are hoping he will be ready to pitch in both of them," Duncan said. Right-hander Dustin Hermanson, acquired for third baseman Fernando Tatis in an off-season trade with the Expos, will pitch the
spring opener Friday afternoon against the Baltimore Orioles. He was 12-14 with a 4.77 earned run average last season.
Tentative plans call for Hermanson to be followed by four veteran right-handers. It will be Darryl Kile and Andy Benes here Saturday and Sunday against the Expos, Alan Benes Monday against the Los Angeles Dodgers in Vero Beach and Matt Morris here Tuesday against the Houston Astros.
Kile was the ace of the staff for the National League Central champions in 2000, going 20-9 with a 3.91 ERA. Andy Benes was 12-9 but missed much of the last month or so with a knee injury.
Alan Benes and Morris were considering rising stars before injuries sidelined them. Alan Benes missed nearly two full seasons after two shoulder operations before coming back in late 1999. Morris missed all of 1999 and early 2000 with an elbow injury.
Both pitched strictly in relief last season as the Cardinals tried to nurse them along. Both are expected to compete for starting jobs this season.
Dick Schaap shows laughs life in book
The Associated Press
At least he can laugh about it.
NEW YORK — Dick Schaap drops names faster than some ballplayers drop popups.
In 300 pages of the book version, he offers minuscule introspection and maximum one-liners. Yet, the book works. In a way, his writings aren't a microscope on his life, they're a mirror.
ESPN
"It's about athletes and actresses, cops and comedians, politicians and just people — the eclectic mix that made almost every day of my life seem like a fantasy," he says on the ESPN version of his autobiography, which airs for the first time tonight.
"I collect people. All these stories were locked up inside me," he said in a raspy voice one morning during breakfast at a midtown Manhattan delicatessen.
His book, Dick Schaap: Flashing Before My Eyes, pokes fun at himself starting with the cover, which boldly states: "As told to Dick Schaap." Same.
books — he's written more than 30 — in which speed was as significant as substance. Sure, he likes to make sure people know he's golfed with presidents. Sure, he surrounded himself with Muhammad Ali and Billy Crystal on his book cover.
He was as comfortable with Lenny Bruce as with Lenny Dykstra.
By being next to celebrities, he became one.
"Have I broken the world record for name-dropping yet?" he says on the TV show, which includes teary music from Cinema Paradiso to enhance a segment with one of his favorite players, ex-pitcher Bill Lee.
Almost anyone would sound self-centered with such a schick. Not Schaap. Everything he says is with an aw-shucks attitude, even when he jokes about his two ex-wives and makes his alimony payments seem like Olympics rights fees.
"I'm basically an egomaniac," he joked last week on a telephone conference call. Then came the kicker — "99 percent of the punch lines come from the people involved."
Yet, sports is the central theme of his life.
"I've gotten to know the heroes of my youth and the villains," said the born Brooklynite, with Bobby Thomson and Ralph Branca in mind, "and I've gotten to know how thin the line is between them."
As a kid, he watched them. Now he takes them to dinner.
In the 1960s, he worked in an era that doesn't exist much today, when athletes and reporters didn't just spar in the clubhouse, but caroused together in clubs.
The 66-year-old Schaap says his son, Jeremy, who also works for ESPN, doesn't have the kind of access he did in his youth.
"Most athletes are certainly wary of what's going to be said or painted or written in the press," said Joe Namath, one of Schaap's buddies. "They're afraid."
Schaap remembers that before the 1969 Super Bowl, when he wanted to speak with the New York Jets quarterback, he just walked up to the hotel pool in Miami Beach, Fla.
"We still have a trust. Now, that's a very difficult thing to create or to have with people that are in the media," Namath said, adding that players "don't act real — they're on stage on the time. ... They just clam up because they are paranoid about everyone."

Books update views on revolutionary war
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — For those who wonder if the American Revolution begins and ends with Mel Gibson's red-blooded *The Patriot*, this spring might serve as an answer.
Several books about that event are coming out, including David McCullough's biography of John Adams, an anthology of writings compiled by the Library of America and Paul Lussier's debut novel, *Last Refuge of Soundrels*. Already a best seller is Joseph Ellis's *Founding Brothers*, released last fall.
The latest works reveal the different ways in which the story can still be told. McCullough and Ellis look at the revolution's leaders. Last Refuge of Scourrels and Ray Raphael's A People's History of the American Revolution the first of a series of "people's histories" published by the New Press, honor the unprivileged.
According to Barnes & Noble, Civil War titles are popular throughout the South and the Mid-Atlantic region, while the market for American Revolution books is mostly confined to the Northeast. World War II books sell everywhere.
"The American Revolution seems more remote, the way Washington seems more remote than Lincoln," he says. "For a lot of people, the revolution has the feeling of myth rather than actual history, which makes it seem unapproachable in a certain way."
"I wanted to write a story about the American Revolution from the vantage point of the common man. You don't appreciate how little there is from that point of view," says Lussier, a history major at Yale University and now a free-lance television writer.
"We thought it made history come alive," says Laurence J. Kirshbaum, chief executive of Time Warner Trade Publishing.
But publishers think the right book can break through. McCullough's work is seen as a sure thing, based on the author's record as a popular historian. Warner Books paid six figures for Lusser's irreverent novel, believing it has contemporary appeal.
"This sense of the founding fathers as the driving force is a patriarchal, ethnocentric, white man's tale," he says. "I take very serious issue with what Ellis said. From my point of view, the periphery has always been the center."

Lightning strikes plane, shakes Sooners
The Associated Press
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Just a month after the Oklahoma State plane crash cast a pall over college basketball, lightning struck the plane carrying the Oklahoma team home from Maryland on Saturday night.
"Lightning hit our right wing," Oklahoma coach Kelvin Sampson said yesterday.
Sampson described the incident as "frightful" and said the sudden jolt "shook everybody up."
"Needless to say, a lot of prayers were said," Sampson said. "The players were up front and most of them were asleep. It was a jolt. But there was nothing after that that caused concern."
Sampson said the first thought that came into his mind was Jan. 27 when 10 members of Oklahoma State's traveling party died when their plane crashed while returning from Colorado.
The pilot immediately reassured his passengers that no damage had been done. Then after the flight landed in Oklahoma City, he came aboard the bus team.
"He said there was some damage to the right wing when the lightning strike hit us," Sampson said.
QI
The Sooners stand 10-4 in the league, tied with Kansas and Texas for second place, one game behind Iowa State. It's
been a good recovery from their 1-3 start to the conference season
But guard J.R. Raymond, a catalyst for the comeback, has been dismissed from the team for the rest of the year for violation of team policies which Sampson refuses to discuss.
His absence could be telling. Oklahoma has posted a 9-1 record in its last 10 conference games, with Raymond averaging 18.5 points, five rebounds, 3.4 assists and 3.9 3-pointers.
"There's a toughness about our program that insulates us from adversity," Sampson said. "You don't feel sorry for yourself. You don't ask for sympathy. You go practice and get ready to play."
Yeah, we have to make some adjustments. But we'll take the right attitude and we'll move forward."
Looking for a dark horse in the Big 12 tournament? Try Texas A&M. The young Aggies are only 10-17 overall and 3-11 in the league. But coach Melvin Watkins is pleased with what he sees as steady progress.
"This year we've been at least competitive with some of those teams that lead the league," he said. "We've gotten close. Now you go into tournament time and anything can happen. I think we can go in there and get us a win or two."
In a 62-52 victory Saturday against Texas Tech, all but 10 points were scored by underclassmen.
"I think we've played better of late, so we've got some positive things going that way," Watkins said. "And to be honest, we've just been devastated with injuries."
While most people would probably list Iowa State's Jamaal Tinsley as the Big 12's best, Baylor coach Dave Bliss favors Kansas sophomore Kirk Hinrich.
"I think he understands how his team has to operate to be successful," Bliss said. "He never deters from what coaches want and his team needs him to do."
"Tinsley gets a lot of mention and he sure is a very, very good guard," Bliss added. "But I've been more impressed by Kirk Hinrich. Tinsley is just an unbelievable player. But we have other good players in this conference."
Texas' Maurice Evans was chosen the big 12's newcomer of the week while Kansas forward Nick Collison was named player of the week. Evans, who transferred from Wichita State, had 28 points Saturday night in a big victory against Iowa State.
"I really believe he's started getting better the last couple of weeks," Texas coach Rick Barnes said.
"He's somewhat figured out what he needs to do. Where he's shown most improvement in the last couple of weeks has been on the defensive end. He knew he had it in him and now it's a matter to see if he can build on it."
Texas beats Missouri, earns first-round bye
The Associated Press
AUSTIN, Texas — Maurice Evans scored 21 points and No. 24 Texas secured a first-round bye in the Big 12 tournament with a 76-61 win against Missouri last night.
Texas (22-7 overall and 11-4 in the Big 12 Conference) also got 18 points from Darren Kelly in setting a school record with its 16th home win of the season. Texas has won five in a row since a 21-point home loss to Oklahoma on Feb. 10.
Securing the first-round tournament bye was important for the Longhorns. In the first four years of the Big 12, no team has come out of the first round to win the conference tournament.
Evans, who scored 28 points in Saturday's win over No. 8 Iowa State, picked up where he left off, scoring the first five points on a two-handed dunk and a three-pointer.
Evans and Brian Boddiker hit back-to-back three-pointers and Fredie Williams scored after Boddiker's steal to make it 20-8.
One of the worst shooting teams in the Big 12 this season, Texas shot 18-of-28 (64 percent) in the first half.
The Longhorns held the Tigers scoreless during a five-minute period and to just 30 percent shooting from the floor in the first half.
Bodicker's second three-pointer made it 38-18 before Missouri finally got untracked with an 8-3 run that made it 41-26. Rickey Paulding knocked down a three-pointer with 30 seconds left in the half before Evans finished it off with a two-handed alley-oop jam from Williams for a 43-26 Texas lead.
Evans struck from long range twice in the opening minutes of the second half as Texas built 59-36 lead with 11 minutes left. Kelly had 12 points in the second as Texas held at least a 15-point lead over the final 20 minutes.

KU student takes sixth in primary
By Erin Adamson
writer@kansan.com
Kansan staff writer
A University of Kansas student is among six City Commission candidates that will advance to the general election on Tuesday. April 3.
Despite snowy, windy weather, Lawrence voters came out yesterday to vote in the city primary election, which determined which six of the twelve City Commission candidates would advance to the general election.
The election results will not be official until midmorning on Friday, when all of the provisional ballots arrive at the courthouse and are counted.
Jennifer Chaffee, Lawrence senior in political science, came in sixth with 570 votes.
Chaffee was one of three candidates who signed an agreement promising to spend hope than $1000.
She said it wasn't hard to spend such a small amount. She made her own signs and attended public candidate forums to discuss the issues she felt were important to the campaign.
less than $500 on her campaign.
She said that a diverse City Commission was important for local government in
I.
Chaffee: came in sixth place with 570 votes
Lawrence and that she felt she would contribute a perspective that was needed on the commission.
Dolores Dolan, a clerk who worked at the polling site at the downtown courthouse, said that students didn't venture out to vote in the bad weather.
"We haven't had the young people flow that we did for the Presidential," she said. A second student candidate, Brett Logan, Lawrence graduate student, finished last with 207 votes.
Scott Bailey came in fifth with 1,551 votes.
Challenger Sue Hack received the most votes in the primary election. At 3,407 votes, she had more than incumbents Marty Kennedy, Erv Hodges or David Dunfield. Kennedy finished second with 3,287, Hodges took third with 3,228 and Dunfield finished fourth with 2,519.
Hack, a civics teacher at Southwest Junior High School, said she was excited about the coming six weeks of the campaign and would continue campaigning as she had.
She said that the housing ordinances would continue to be an issue for the city.
"I've been stressing communication with all groups in Lawrence," she said. "The issues won't change: tax abatements, traffic and growth."
I think people are concerned with the enforceability. "Hack said.
She said she thought that the three-person limit was a reasonable compromise and that the city had done a good job at trying to work toward affordable housing in Lawrence.
Kennedy came in second and said he was pleased with his position.
"I just want to thank the voters for getting out," he said.
Dunfield said he had a lot of work to do in getting his ideas across to the public.
"It means that people haven't really gotten focused on city elections," he said.
He said that hopefully he could convince people that it was worth their time to vote.
As the totals stand now, Adam Mansfield, a former University of Kansas student and the manager of Louise's Downtown, is a mere ten votes behind Chaffee.
Mansfield said that he would remain watchful of Lawrence government no matter what the results of the elections.
He said he might serve on a city board and would continue attending City Commission meetings.
"I'll be at the tax abatement meeting on Thursday." Mansfield said of the upcoming meeting of businesses and city staff to work toward a local tax abatement policy.
"I'll still pay attention to city issues," he said.
He said he has been particularly concerned with the city's policy on awarding tax abatements to businesses that move into Lawrence. Tax abatements are an incentive for businesses to move to Lawrence because the city forgives a certain amount of tax dollars that the company will not have to pay.

Weather delays commuters

Kanson staff writer
By Lauren Brandenburg
David Perdarias was on his way home from class yesterday when he hit a patch of ice and his front wheels started to lose traction.
"I've been told to turn toward the skid, and I did," said Perdaris, Olathe senior. "I was in the left-hand lane and spun 180 degrees through the right lane. I just remember bearing down on the brakes and praying, 'Please, God, don't let me hit anything.'"
David Perdaris, Olathe senior and commuter student, lost control of his pickup yesterday when he hit a patch of ice near the intersection of K-10 and Franklin Road. Lawrence drivers had trouble traveling because of snowy conditions. Photo by Katie Moore/KANSAN
SANDY SMITH
For students and faculty who regularly commute to class, weather like yesterday's snowstorm can create serious delays.
Within two minutes of Pendaris' slide into the ditch, another truck went off the road. Pendaris said it took an additional two hours for him to drive home after he was pulled out of the ditch.
About five minutes before Perdaris' challenge, John Auld, Leawood senior, hit the same patch of ice and ended up in a ditch just yards away from where Perdaris would land. Auld said that two minutes after he ended up in the ditch, yet another car followed.
Karey Walsh, Lenexa senior, said her half-
nour commute home after class yesterday took an hour and 35 minutes.
Although she went to class yesterday, Walsh, who commuted on and off last semester and commutes daily this semester, said she had to miss class once last semester because of weather.
"If the streets out here aren't cleared, and I can't get out of my neighborhood, I know K-10 isn't going to be cleared," Walsh said.
However, she said her professors tended to be understanding when she couldn't get to class because of weather and she called or e-mailed them before class to let them know.
"Usually if you can't come, you can't come," Walsh said. "They aren't going to have you risk your life."
For Rob Voelker, Lincoln, Neb., junior, a previous accident when he was driving home to Lincoln in a storm like yesterday's made him think twice about whether he would attend a class he takes at Johnson County Community College.
The college saved him that decision yesterday by canceling his Western Civilization II class, but he said he already was considering not attending before the class was canceled.
"In the future, if it's like this, I'm not going."
Voelker said. "It's not worth driving a half hour to take the chance of getting into an accident. One class isn't worth it."
Heather Reilly, a Topeka graduate student who teaches classes, said there had been days when she probably should not have driven to campus. But she's never missed a day because of weather, she said. She had to cancel class yesterday because of car trouble, although she said she was glad yesterday afternoon when she saw the
weather conditions.
Perdaris said he had only missed class once before in his four semesters of commuting, but that after yesterday, he might miss more in bad weather.
"Till be frank with my teachers," Perdaris said. "I'm a pilot. I don't stay alive by making stupid choices and flying into bad weather, and I'm not going to do it driving either."
Tax season
Free assistance available for students
By Kate McCarty and Laurie Harrison Special to the Kansan
Income tax season doesn't have to be the low point of spring. Organizations on campus are helping to ease the burden of filing tax returns by offering free advice to students.
Legal Services for Students offers tax help by appointment until Sunday, April 15. Michele Kessler, associate director, said they were already booked through the first week in April. However, a third attorney recently joined the Legal Services staff and will be able to take appointments within the next few weeks.
Last year, the office helped about 720 students during tax season, and it is expecting the same turnout this year.

"We try to see more people as we approach the April 15 deadline," Kessler said.
The office is located at room 148 in the Burge Union. Students should bring all W2s, 1099 forms, tuition payment, school information and any mutual fund investment statements, she said.
The office can file by paper or electronically.
International students should also bring their passports. They are not able to e-file.
Matt Blume, Hays junior, sought help from Legal Services last year when he had questions about filing his tax return. He said it helped him maintain a sense of humor during a stressful season.
"They cut through all the jibber-jabber and helped me see the light," he said.
Kessler suggested that students try to fill out a tax return themselves.
The Volunteer Income Tax Assistance (VITA) service offers free help with filing returns Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays in Green Hall. International students can receive help on Saturdays only.
The service is provided by 35 University of Kansas law school students, said Megan Miller, Wichita third.
"Most students can do a 1040 easily if they just read everything through," she said. "It's not as hard as people think."
year law student and VITA volunteer.
She said each volunteer worked 2 to 3 hours per week providing assistance on a walk-in basis.
Miller said that if students devoted enough time and did the math correctly, completing tax returns could be easy.
Besides using VITA, Miller recommended students visit the Internal Revenue Service's Web site,
www.irs.gov, and www.1040.com.
Jason Caudle, Topeka sophomore,

said he would seek tax help this year. "Every year my taxes seem to get harder with capital gains and scholarships," he said. "It's nice to be able to get free advice."

Business closes, leaves students jobless
By Amanda Bealin

Kansas staff writer
A Lawrence business soon will close its doors, leaving dozens of University of Kansas students unemployed.
Disney Direct Marketing, owned by the Disney Internet Group, will consolidate with an Overland Park branch on Friday. March 9.
Susan Murde, vice president of communications for Walt Disney Catalog Company, said the two branches were consolidating to streamline operations.
The telemarketing center, 1601 W. 23rd St. has been in Lawrence since 1998.
Murde said 58 part-time, hourly and fulltime employees would be able to continue working at the Overland Park branch.
However, 115 seasonal employees will be laid off. Officials at the Lawrence branch refused to give information about the number of University of Kansas students employed there.
Seasonal employees were hired for high-volume periods and scheduled to work until Tuesday, May 1, but they now will work only for the local branch until it closes.
News of the closure sparked mixed response from both current and former employees
Born in Baltimore for former employee Emily Massaglia, Royersford, Pa., senior and Disney Direct employee since October, said she was unhappy about the branch closure.
Michael Bunn, Leawood junior,
answered incoming phone calls for the
company during his sophomore year, but
he quit after just two weeks.
"It's a good job." Massaglia said. "It's $0 an hour, and you set your own hours. You get there, log onto a phone, and you go. There's very little supervision. That was so refreshing from being a waitress."
"It just wasn't for me," Bunn said. "It made me not like Disney. They make up lots of catch-phrases to sell their products."
Massaglia said she was disappointed that the company didn't make the announcement until Monday, just 10 days prior to the closing.
"Some of us were counting on the money," Massaglia said. "I mean, it's right before spring break. But I was hired for seasonal, so I can't work in Overland Park. Oh well, at least I know I'll have spring break off."

Gay Democratic caucus makes debut in Topeka
TOPEKA — The first meeting of the Democratic Party's new gay caucus has prompted Shawnee County Treasurer Rita Cline to switch her party affiliation.
Cline became a Republican on Monday. She said she could be part of an organization that openly accepted ed gay and lesbian members.
The Gay Lesbian Bisexual Transgender Caucus had its first meeting Saturday, during Kansas Democrats' annual Washington Days festivities. About a dozen people attended, and State Chairman Tom Sawyer and U.S. Rep. Dennis Moore visited the meeting to voice support.
"I'm very concerned that the leaders of the Democratic Party have embraced a radical group's agenda," Cline told The Topeka Capital-Journal. "I will not be a part of any organization that promotes and condones the breaking not only of Kansas law, but also God's law."

Supreme Court upholds Clean Air Act challenge
WASHINGTON — The nation's premier environmental law withstood a major industry challenge yesterday as the Supreme Court upheld the way the government sets air-quality standards under the Clean Air Act.
The court unanimously rejected industry arguments that the Environmental Protection Agency must consider financial cost as well as health benefits in writing standards.
The Clean Air Act became law in 1970, and the challenge by industry groups was viewed as the most significant environmental case before the Supreme Court in years.
The American Lung Association called the ruling "a victory for the Clean Air Act and for the health of the American people."
Nevertheless, the court threw out the EPA's policy for implementing new ozone rules and ordered the agency to come up with a more "reasonable" interpretation of the law.
Fat Tuesday draws one million party-goers
NEW ORLEANS — An estimated million or more people jammed the city's streets on Mardi Gras for the Big Easy's raucous, libidinous, alcohol-fueled celebration.
Tourists stood agape in the French Quarter as three women strolled the crowded, narrow streets wearing nothing but sandals, bikini thongs and elaborate swirls of brightly colored body paint.
Families, many of them with picnic spreads and barbecue grills, lined parade routes in residential neighborhoods and suburbs, but the Quarter revely was for adults only.
Costumes included one man's see-through jockey shorts and one woman's revealing skirt and top made only of tied-together bead necklaces.
The presidential election was a common theme: One man dressed as a Florida ballot with a pot belly and a sign declaring himself a pregnant chad.
New Orleans police reported no serious incidents by afternoon, and no immediate arrest figures were available for Mardi Gras misbehavior.
Last year, police reported 589 arrests over the 12-day Carnival period. down from 836 in 1999
Last year, a crackdown on women flashing their breasts drew criticism from revelers who said it was harmless fun.
This year, the police said officers would make arrests only when nudity or lewdness were a threat to public safety.
Mardi Gras, or Fat Tuesday, is the climax of New Orleans' Carnival season, which begins each year on Jan. 6 and ends at midnight with the arrival of Ash Wednesday, the first day of Lent.

U.S. to ease sanctions on goods export to Iraq
BRUSSELS, Belgium — Declaring that sanctions against Iraq are "in a state of disarray," Secretary of State Colin Powell is calling for changes that would permit export to Iraq of more consumer goods while maintaining curbs on assistance to President Saddam Hussein's weapons program.
Powell said he hoped revisions could be completed before Arab leaders hold a summit meeting in Amman, Jordan, in late March.
"I think it gives us a stronger position to go to nations that might be tempted to send in prohibited weapons or prohibited materials," Powell said.

Tax cut plan among key issues addressed

WASHINGTON — President Bush beckoned a divided Congress last night to support

Bush."The people of America have been overcharged."
a large and retroactive tax cut, declaring in a nationally televised address. "The people of America have been over charged, and on their behalf,
am here asking for a refund." On the 39th day of his presidency, Bush pledged to set the nation on "a different path" by slashing federal debt while increasing spending for popular programs such as education, environmental protection and health research.
Bush, the first Republican president since Dwight D. Eisenhower to address a GOP-
led Congress, reached out to Democrats with a promise to tackle Social Security reform and end racial profiling. In a bid to conservatives, he renewed his call to privatize portions of Social Security.
Bush appeared relaxed and confident during his 49-minute speech, receiving several standing ovations from Republicans and polite applause from Democrats throughout.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff, several Cabinet members and one Supreme Court justice, Stephen Breyer, joined lawmakers in the historic House chamber for the annual ritual. Applause and standing ovations began on one side of the aisle and rippled to the another — depending on the politics of the issue.
Making the case for his $1.6 trillion, 10-year tax cut plan, Bush said, "Some say my tax plan is too big."
Democrats cheered the line, making clear they agreed.
"Others say it is too small," Bush continued, drawing applause from Republicans. "I respectfully disagree. This tax relief is just right."
Not even the pageentry of the moment — both houses of

Congress, diplomats and Cabinet officials assembled — could extinguish all echoes of last fall's recount.
There were audible boos on the Democratic side of the aisle as justices of the Supreme Court were announced. It was a reaction to the Supreme Court's 5-4 decision that stopped recounts in Florida and handed the presidency to Bush.
Standing before a Congress often mired in gridlock, Bush said: "Let us agree to bridge old divides," though he added, "Bipartisanship is more than minding our manors, it is doing our duty." Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., a lightning rod for criticism from the political right, politely applauded Bush.

Dust to dust: Lent begins
Catholics begin period of sacrifice religious reflection
By Sarah Smash
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff write
Katy Poorman might want a beer, but she won't let herself have one.
Poorman is one of many Catholics who begin a 40-day sacrifice today, Ash Wednesday, that ends on Easter Sunday. The period, Lent, calls for Catholics to demonstrate their faith by giving up something they normally do or enjoy.
Poorman, Davenport, Ohio, senior, said she would give up drinking alcohol, a "common occurrence" in her life. She said the sacrifice would be difficult but beneficial.
"You're supposed to give up something that would be hard," Poorman said. "It will get me more focused."
"I think we can handle giving up something we like if he gave us his life." Godfrey said.
The Rev, Charles Poliska, a priest at St. John the Evangelist, 1229 Vermont St., said Lent didn't originate as a parallel to Jesus' crucifixion. He said Lent was originally instituted as a preparation period of enduring personal sacrifice for those waiting to be baptized into the Church.
Poliska added Lent was an opportunity for Catholics today to evaluate their lives.
"Lent is a period of time for renewal and getting one's life in order," Poliska said.
Kelly McIlwee, Wilmette, Ill., sophomore, said she would seek renewal by giving up being judgmental of others.
"They say you should pick something that will make you better." McLwee said.
Not all Catholics students said they felt inspired to make a sacrifice.
John Senn, St. Louis sophomore, said he had never given up anything.
"I still understand it and respect it," Senn said. "But I feel like I'd be going through the motions instead of actually believing in what I'm doing."
Catholicus begin the season by wearing ashes on their foreheads on Ash Wednesday. This practice dates back to the 10th and 11th centuries when those who committed grievous sins would wear ashes as a public display of remorse and penitence.
Many Catholics also fast or abstain from eating meat on Ash Wednesday and every Friday during Lent.
Michael Podrebara, director of liturgy and music at Saint Lawrence Catholic Center, 1631 Crescent Rd., said Lent was meant to be a time of austerity to temper the excess in life.
our minds and our spirits," Podrebarac said. He said the personal sacrifices, universal fasting and attempts at self-improvement all stemmed from a desire to "get to the roots of who we are as God's people."
"We try to become less attached to things of this world and more attached to the things of the eternal world." Podrebarac said.
To emphasize the mortality of the human body and the christian belief in the eternal soul, priests in Ash Wednesday services recite the following: "Remember that you are dust, and to dust you shall return."
New KU server will identify viruses
By Cassio Furtado
writer@kansan.com
Kansas staff write
— Edited by Joshua Richards
The University of Kansas will be ready to combat computer viruses that can affect KU students when it completely switches from Falcon, Eagle and other servers to the new Exchange system. Until that happens, students are still vulnerable.
Chad Cummings, Andover junior and Academic Computing Services Help Center student operator, said the virus used Microsoft Outlook to send itself to everyone in the infected person's address book.
Last week six KU computers were infected by a virus called Life Stages.
He said the subject line of the e-mail would probably be "Life Stages," "Funny," or "Jokes."
The virus doesn't damage the victim's computer, but
because it sends messages with the infected file to multiple users in someone's address book, it can cause an e-mail server to be damaged because of message overflow.
The KU Exchange e-mail system automatically scans and quarantines infected attachments such as the Life Stages virus to protect Exchange users.
Cummings said the Life Stages virus displays a humorous text when the victims open an infected e-mail attachment. It saves:
"Age. Seduction lines. 17 My parents are away for the weekend. 25 My girlfriend is away for the weekend. 35 My fiancee is away for the weekend. 48 My wife is away for the weekend. 66 My second wife is dead."
Linda Spelcher, who works at the Public Safety Office, received a message containing the Life Stages virus last week.
Speicher said she didn't know anything about it and
wasn't sure about how many people in her address book had been infected after receiving the message from her.
"I hit delete as soon as I got it," Speicher said.
Cummings said in Speicher's case, the University software picked up the virus and stripped the virus out of all emails sent from her computer.
He said the virus was allowed to replicate once, but the offspring was sterilized by the software and the life of the virus was suspended.
Only Windows systems are vulnerable to the Life Stages virus; Macintosh systems are not affected.
When the KU Exchange system detects a virus, it still delivers the e-mail, without the attachment, noting the attachment has been removed.
Users also get a separate e-mail telling them the University's system has deleted the attached file and who it came from.
COMPUTER VIRUS
What happened? Six KU computers were infected by a virus called Life Stages last week. The virus used the victim's address book to replicate and infect other computers.
What it means: Falcon and Eagle servers are unprotected against Life Stages and other viruses, while the Exchange e-mail system recognizes infected files and deletes them.
What next? The University will switch to the Exchange system for students by May and for faculty by May 2002.
Falcon and Eagle servers do not have server-level antivirus protection but do filter all incoming e-mail for a few destructive viruses.
The University does not provide virus protection or filtering on any other central servers, including KUHUB.
Students among millions with eating disorders

Enough people suffer from anorexia and bulimia every year to rival the population of Chicago, and Watkins Memorial Health Center wants to help change that.
The center will have information tables on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. tomorrow to answer any questions or concerns about eating disorders as part of National Eating Disorders Awareness Week.
"I started not eating at 22," she said. "I was getting a divorce and had a five-year-old. I did not feel pretty and felt fat. I started exercising, but I also started not eating. The more attention I
Midge Grinstead, executive director of the Lawrence Humane Society, said she suffered from anorexia for years.
The Eating Disorders Awareness and Prevention organization reported 5 to 10 million girls and women and 1 million boys and men struggle with eating disorders. It also reported 91 percent of women surveyed on college campuses had attempted to control their weight through dieting.
Ann Chapman, nutrition director at Watkins, said the purpose of this week's events was to educate students about eating disorders and to provide information about how to get help.
"The prevalence of eating disorders is greater in the college university environment," she said.
"Women are under a great pressure to look a certain way, and it is taught by society," she sald. "We have lost touch with our bodies' needs. Only 2 to 3 percent of women have the body type of a true model."
got, the more I worked out and the less I ate."
"We live in a thin society where people think being thin means you're beautiful and being fat means that you're dumb and ugly."
Grinstead started modeling, which she said only worsened her problem because modeling agencies would pressure her to continue to lose weight.
"They would nail and gripe about everything," she said. "At 105 pounds, they were telling me not to eat."
"I started getting sick and started having health problems and ended up having a hysterectomy at the age of 24."
Claire Durwood, Mission Hills sophomore, said she thought eating disorders were a problem at the University.
"I think it is something that affects the university but does not plague it," she said. "I took ballet and there were a few them."
Watkins will have information tables from 11:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. tomorrow on the fourth floor of the Kansas Union.

who struggled with body image."
"Symptoms of anorexia are frastic weight loss and refusal to eat," she said. "Bullimia involves secretive eating followed by purging through vomiting, laxatives, diuretics and excessive exercise or fasting."
Chapman said symptoms of eating disorders varied depending on the type.
Chapman said treatment for eating disorders was a three-step process.
"A woman who presents with an eating disorder needs to do three things," she said. "They should see a physician, work with a mental health counselor and work with the nutritionist."

Point/Counterpoint
Reinstating evolution in Kansas schools
Our view: Evolution should be the dominant theory of human development taught in Kansas classrooms
Dissenting view: Creationism and evolution theory deserve equal consideration by science teachers
Kansas is still a laughingstock; people around the country enjoy mocking Midwestern culture, or lack thereof. As of
Kansas is still a laughingstock, people on board the country enjoy mocking Midwestern culture, or lack thereof. As of Feb. 14, however, there is one fewer reason to laugh. A year and a half after its decision to de-emphasize the teaching of evolution in Kansas public schools, the Kansas Board of Education voted 7-3 to restore it. In addition to countering criticism, the decision to bring evolution back into the curriculum shows that Kansas values science, education and separation of church and state.
Evolution is a theory, but not in the same sense that creationism is a theory. In science, a theory is not a guess or unproven fact. It is an idea supported by observations, replicable experiments and well-documented facts. The fossil record is only one example of evidence that exists to support evolution.
HEY, LOOK
EVERYONE, KANSAS
is BACK! YOU HAD
US WORRIED!
"This is one of the overarching themes of science," said Harry McDonald, a board member of Kansas Citizens for Science and president of the Kansas Association of Biology Teachers. "It is impossible to teach good science and leave it out."
Evolution also is the backbone of many other scientific theories.
Creationism has no place in a science classroom. It is an idea based upon religious beliefs. In the United States Supreme Court's 1987 decision in Edwards v. Aguillard, the court ruled the balancing of creationism and evolution in the classroom was a violation of the First Amendment.
vacdonald said that some opponents of teaching evolution fear it would cause students to abandon their religious beliefs. He said that this attitude set the tone that we didn't want to hear anything different from what we already knew and believed. If a student's beliefs are strong enough, then the teaching of evolution will not sway them. It should not be the purpose of science to present only information that does not challenge existing beliefs.
McDonald said that states dominated by a religious perspective tended to downplay the importance of intellectual thought. "If we value science, we need to teach it," he said. "And we need to value intellectual development."
Science is necessarily silent on the subject of religion even though religion is not silent on science. The teaching of evolution in science classrooms in Kansas does not refute or support belief in a god. It does, however, provide students with knowledge of a subject that is widely accepted and taught in the scientific community. There is no scientific basis behind creation theory, so it is fair to exclude it from science classes.
If Kansas is to ensure that public school students receive the best, unbiased education possible, the validity of evolution theory must be recognized and taught.
Kate Williams for the editorial board
The Kansas Board of Education's decision to reinstate eviolation law decision from its objective decision.
Lution is a devotion from its more objective decision less than two years ago. Although praised in the name of scientific progress, the decision is merely emphasizing one religious ideology over another.
Wes Benson/KANSAN
When the board voted in August 1999 to de-emphasize evolution, concepts of microevolution — including mutation, adaptation and variation — remained in the curriculum. The recent decision will revert to emphasizing macroevolution. That approach is flawed because there is not a single, undisputed transitional fossil from one species to another.
Strict biological evolution is commonly touted as good science, but it is nothing more than atheism dressed up as naturalism and humanism. Instead of teaching only atheistic evolution, instructors should also teach creationism objectively. Both theories have scientific merit and deserve time in the classroom.
Because this weak model is being taught, shouldn't creation also be taught, especially because there also is strong evidence of a divine intelligent designer?
Many scientific findings do not correspond to evolution, yet there is no mention of them in classes. Information contrary to evolution should no longer be censored in the science classroom, but with the board's new ruling, it probably will.
Creation science is legitimate because it can be observed and tested. For example, creationists claim that all animals reproduce of their own kind. This phenomenon has always supported their theory, yet because creation science implies that God created the first animal of each species, it cannot be taught.
What also will be missing is the philosophy inherent in evolutionary biology. The claim is that small changes have, during the course of time, changed fish into people. That claim is naturalism: that we as humans are a product of time and chance, and that there is no meaning to life. Evolution must account for the human soul; purely biological evolution offers no answers. Therefore, proper education should include both viewpoints.
Michael Ruse, a scientific philosopher and ardent Darwinian, even said "evolution is promoted by its practitioners as more than mere science. Evolution is promulgated as an ideology, a secular religion."
Evolution, according to Sir Julian Huxley, a prominent 20th-century supporter of biological evolution, is "religion without revelation." It takes just as much faith to believe in the illogical, unproveable evolution model as it does to believe in the intelligent desimer model.
By teaching creation science as a theory, teachers would not have to worry about the wall between church and state. As long as there are arguments for and against each theory, creationism should get equal time in Kansas classrooms.
Perspective
Tim Lang, dissenting
Black History Month celebrates a rich past
I told myself that if I wrote a column for Black History Month, I would mention the great contributions of African Americans past and present. I would ignore the negative comments around campus about the month and write about history in the making in higher education by Johnetta Cole, or in writing by Alice Walker, or politics by Colin Powell. But as Black History Month draws to a close, I cannot deny that many Free for All comments this month frustrated me and made it apparent that we have not come as far as many would like to believe.
How united is the United States of America when people ask what the point of Black History Month is? The real question is, what would we lose by not having a time that allows us to honor our past? Is it then safe to say that we should cancel other celebrations that honor the past, such as the Fourth of July? After all, we have our independence now. There is no need to continue a celebration of something that happened a little more than two centuries ago. Are we really willing to
PETER E. WALKER
live only looking forward, unaware of how we came to where we are or who helped us get there?
There are people who believe historically black colleges and fraternities or Black Entertainment Television are looking backward. Things are different now, so why bother?
Historically African-American colleges allowed some of our grandparents to attend college, and some African-American students want to continue the legacy of their ancestors. Without historically African-American sororities and fraternities, some African Americans would not attend college. BET is a source of news and entertainment otherwise absent from CNN or MTV. All of these things, including Black History Month, are testaments to
African-American pride and accomplishment just as Fourth of July is to all Americans.
To say it is not necessary to celebrate months designated to recognize specific cultures is like landing on Plymouth Rock and forgetting about the Native American, or to set sail from the Gold Coast and forget the Africans cramped in the bow below, or to erect the Statue of Liberty without mention of the immigrants who came to America by her beacon. America was built on the hopes and efforts of different cultures.
Since the end of slavery and the 1963 march on Washington, many would like to believe everything is equal. The Florida elections and the murders of James Byrd and Matthew Shephard are proof that we have a way to go before equality is a universal reality.
Call the U.S. what you will: a melting pot, a garden salad or a pita with a side of chips. Whatever we call it, we must realize that America could not be what it is today without the contributions of various cultures.
Hawthorne is a Lenexa senior in business communications.
The truth is, a celebration such as Black History Month should be just that: a celebration, commemorating how far we have come from the efforts of those who helped and continue to help build this country. Black History Month, Women's History Month, Hispanic History Month and others should serve as a source of pride. Black History Month is not about making things equal as much as saying thank you, saying America appreciates the contributions and continuous efforts of African Americans.
A Congo proverb says, "A single bracelet does not jingle." When the opportunity comes along to give homage to a group whose ancestors aided in the building and development of our country, we should welcome it with open arms. But alas, there are people who would rather cry reverse racism than appreciate culture, those who would rather keep score than flight to even the score.

Letters to the Editor Coverage of fight at conference employs negative stereotypes
The most disturbing aspect of your coverage of the recent Big 12 Black Student Government Conference ("Fight fails to derail minority conference," Monday) was that one of the most basic elements of sound journalism — "why?" — was missing from the article. This is crucial because that element is what ultimately would
If the fight was between two men about a woman, for example, then who cares about the fight? That's an unfortunate reality of human nature, and it likely happens several times a night in this town on any given weekend. It has only minor bearing on the story of a student government conference.
— was missing from the article. This is crucial because that element is what ultimately would determine whether the fight was newsworthy.
If, however, the fight broke out because of the politics of student government, then that's a whole other story. That's news.
If the fight was instigated by students — White or Black — who came to disrupt the conference, that would be newsworthy.
In fact, if the fight was a minor fractas over some unrelated issue, then the story becomes: "Why did the campus police decide to shut down the event entirely instead of merely taking away those involved?"
Perhaps the fight was newsworthy. But read ers were given no information about why the fight broke out. Without it, none of us — not even those who supposedly teach sound journalism — can assess the newsworthiness of that aspect of the story. Without it, the story became just another negative stereotype of minority people being inherently violent.
"Why" was that possible distortion so easy for the Kanan to accept without further investigation and "why" was that not made an issue by the journalism teachers who later were asked and quoted about the story? The answer, unfortunately, is because the racism and discrimination in our society are deeply ingrained in and perpetuated by our media today. The perpetuation of negative stereotypes continues because mainstream journalists and journalism educators continue to accept and/or ignore the fallacies of the media's unfair and unrealistic representations of minorities in the "news." You all just accepted the violence at the conference as if it were an expected occurrence, rather than questioning "why" there was vio-
You all just accepted the violence at the conference as if it were an expected occurrence, rather than questioning "why" there was violence at the conference.
Unfortunately, that's nothing new.
Mike Cuenca assistant professor of journalism
Kansan was mistaken to imply that fight defined weekend conference
If a fight did not derail the Big 12 Conference on Black Student Government, why was it the highlight of this article, which attempted to overshadow any positive element of the conference? The fight occurred at a party Friday night, not at the leadership conference. As a student in the School of Journalism, I know as well as you the headline and first paragraph are the most important in a newspaper article. The first word in the headline was "fight," and the first and second paragraphs talked about the fight only.
The word "minority" is completely out of style and should not have been used. I know you had space to fill, and the word filled the space. But as an editor, Melinda Weaver's job is to follow the stylebook and find the politically correct word. When I took my class in editing in Spring 1988, we did not use the word "minority." That was three years ago.
This conference had an impact on 1,000 students from across the country and offered 36 workshops during two days. It is unfortunate that this article failed to give a more thorough and accurate picture of the conference for the people who were not able to attend.
The media have a tendency to portray African Americans in a negative light. You have added to the problems faced by African Americans from the media. The fight did not define the conference, but you allowed it to do so by the poorly written article.

Televising execution of McVeigh won't help bring closure to victims
In the yesterday's issue of the Kansan, the editorial board argues that families of persons killed in the Oklahoma City bombing have a "right" to watch Timothy McVeigh's execution ("Victims have right to view execution"). As if the death penalty's existence weren't tragic enough, our society — in the form of government — is making the worst of a bad situation by turning the execution into a TV show.
I have no doubt that victims' families are still dealing with the grief and sorrow caused by the bombing. But if they think see McVeigh die will bring closure, I think they'll be sorely disappointed. Adding another death to that tragic episode — even the death of the assumed bomber — doesn't make the situation better. Watching a human die won't make the victims' families feel better about their loss.
Aaron D. Profitt Overland Park senior
As long as our society continues to manifest an institutional callousness toward violent death, we will find it difficult to deal with violent crime. McVeigh's execution is institutionalized violence, but it's still violence. Turning it into a spectacle for grieving families won't help them, and it hurts our society. If ever an incident should shock our social conscience, it is this. The editorial board's position reveals a lack of thought and sensitivity about an issue of deep and troubling proportions.
Jayhawker Towers has maintenance pest problems that need to be solved
As a resident of Jayhawker Towers, I'd like to respond to an inaccurate letter by Kara Smith ("Kansan paints unfair picture of life in Jayhawker Towers," Monday). My roommates and I have had difficulties getting maintenance problems taken care of by the Towers staff.
We have experienced stained carpets, leaky windows, rubber in our drinking faucets, broken showerheads and harassment (which was handled promptly by our resident assistants but shouldn't be a problem). I pay $1,800 a year to live here, which makes me question where my money is going.
It is the bug problem that has been most difficult. When I called the front desk to have an exterminator come, the woman who answered the phone said nothing about forms to fill out or that dishes needed to be removed from the cabinets. All she said was, "We'll send someone out." No one came, so I called again. It was not the fault of irresponsible residents but a misinformed, incompetent Towers staff member.
It was unfortunate that a member of the exterminator's family died. But our complaint was that we were not told of his absence after calling the front desk. The staff couldn't give us any information until hours later.
In response to Smith's comments about bugs resulting from unclean apartments, all I say is Jayhawker Towers is a poop-hole. Keeping it clean is all I can do to make it bearable. Smith wouldn't know that because she has never stopped by for some oatmeal and cockroach cookies, which we'd be willing to share.

As members of the Society of Open-Minded Atheists and Agnostics, we feel that your article
Atheist,agnostic group encourages open discussion, diverse viewpoints
Feb. 12 ("Atheist, agnostic group hopes to boost campus profile") did not adequately represent our group. The purpose of SOMA is to raise awareness of atheism and agnosticism while providing a setting whereby atheists and agnostics can express viewpoints. It is also our objective to promote learned and open-minded discussions of human origins and belief systems.
We think that knowledge and understanding of the people around us and the universe in which we live are useful tools to hinder close-mindedness and intolerance. Drawing upon the scholarly resources of the University, SOMA has organized a series of guest speakers to talk about evolution, cosmology, religion and other subjects. Anyone is welcome to attend as we neither discriminate nor intend to indoctrinate. We have arranged these lectures and other events to disseminate knowledge and leave conclusions up to the individual.
We urge anyone who has questions about SOMA to attend meetings and learn more. Or visit www.ukans.edu/~soma or e-mail us at soma@ukans.edu for more information.
Columnist who attacks gun rights twists opinions of Supreme Court
I'm writing this in response to John Audehelm's column ("Statistics stack up quickly against gun-rights groups," Monday).
If you want to present a solid, educated article, the first step is to educate yourself on the subject. Audlehelm misrepresents case law in United States v. Miller. This case served as a foundation for gun regulation, not a ban. He further proclaims his ignorance by stereotyping gun owners as conservative Republicans. Had he done his homework, he would have learned the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms says most legal gun owners are older, educated, middle-class people who are split almost equally between the political parties.
Audlehelm is more interested in the symbolic significance of having guns banned than in establishing pragmatic and effective control of them. People such as him allow the National Rifle Association to scare gun owners into believing that gun control equals a ban. Such a ban would be no more effective than the ban on cocaine. Audlehelm should do gun-control advocates the favor of researching before he thinks about climbing on his soapbox again.

Billed as musical-drama, the story centers on Selma, a Czech immigrant and single mother who moves to America with her son, expecting it to be like a Hollywood musical and ends up working in a factory, to earn the money necessary for her son to have a vision saving operation. A neighbor threatens Selma's savings, and sets in motion a series of events that bring this emotional story to its inspirational final.

Tax Guide
Experts say students can do own taxes
By Laurie Harrison Special to the Kansan
It's tax time again, but relax — even the experts say taxes can be done at home.
"The trick of doing it on your own is reading all the lines and reading the instructions well," said Elgin Saathoff, employee at H & R Block, 2104 W. 25th St.
Saathoff has worked as a seasonal tax preparer for 14 years and recommended using last year's tax return as a guide for this year.
Saathoff said completing your own taxes usually took a while, and for students that means time away from studying.
But the advantage is that it's free. Saathoff said tax preparation businesses charged fees for every tax return completed. H&R Block charges a flat rate of $55, plus a fee for each tax return completed. Additional costs may include bank deposit fees and fees for each W-2 form used.
However, free tax preparation assistance is available on campus from the Volunteer Income Tax Assistance. The service, made up of University of Kansas law school student volunteers, assists students with residential and nonresidential tax forms.
Stacia Gressel, Derby law student and VITA volunteer, said the program's 35 volunteers would work two hours each week until Saturday, April 14. Gressel said students should attempt to file taxes themselves.
"It's not as hard as most people think it is," she said. "I think it's very intimidating for people. Generally, you don't have much that's very difficult to complete."
Gressel said worksheets and toll-free numbers accompanied each tax form to help with completing taxes. She said VITA would also check the math on returns that students had already completed.
Gressel has completed her own tax returns since 1994.
"It's really about sitting down and taking the time to read the instructions," she said. "If you put in the time, I would encourage students to do their own taxes."
Morgan McCollough, Manhattan senior, said he would start doing his own taxes once he graduates.
"I don't want to pay for it," he said. "I've had enough math. I should be able to figure it out." — Edited by Sydney Wallace

Some students can claim tax credits

Taxes can be student-friendly. Students can even be reimbursed a portion of the cost of tuition and books or receive other helpful credits.
Jim Long, from the Bogner and Long accounting firm, 842 Louisiana St., said students should ask their tax preparers about several tax credits.
Long said the Hope Credit, for students in their first two years of college, would credit up to $1,500 of taxes on tuition and book expenses.
The Lifetime Learning Credit, which is worth up to $1,000, is available to undergraduate and graduate students and offers tax exemption for 20 percent of a student's qualified expenses, which include tuition, books and related expenses.
If students are claimed on their parents' tax returns, then their parents qualify for these credits.
Thomas King, a tax preparer at H&R Block, 2104 W. 25th St., said students could deduct the interest on their student loans for up to five years after they were required to start paying the loans.
No one is required to pay taxes unless they want $7,200 or more. But King said that most students would want to file taxes because most of them would be eligible for a refund.
"If a person is claimed on another person's taxes they can only get $4,400 back," he said. "If they claim themselves, they can make up to $7,200 without even paying taxes."
Long said that students who were claimed by their parents could not claim a personal exemption.
Long said that most students, upon being hired at a job, became familiar with the W4 and l9 forms that they were required to complete.
Long said the purpose of the W2 was to aid employees in filling out their personal taxes. An employee writes all of their exemptions on the W4, and these exemptions lead to deductions. The fewer the number of exemptions, the more money the employer takes out of the employee's paycheck, which usually results in a larger tax refund for the employee.
The purpose of the I9 form is to determine whether an employee
is a legal resident of the United States.
Students might also need to file a 1099 form with their taxes. Long said
He said there were two commonly used versions of the form — the 1099 miscellaneous and the 1099 INT.
Long said the 1099 miscella-
to odd jobs and was labor-oriented, and the 1099 INT reported the amount of interest that a person earns on a bank account.

KU students may file taxes in two states
By Ali Brox
Special to the Kansan
The prospect of a great summer internship outside Kansas would be a dream come true for many University of Kansas students. However, those students could be rudely awakened when they realize they must pay multiple state income taxes.
Abby Rosdahl, Nortonville graduate student, spent last summer working in accounting at Nike World Headquarters in Beaverton, Ore. Now she must file income tax in both Kansas and Oregon. She said the Oregon return would take longer to fill out because it was different from the Kansas form and much more difficult than the federal return.
"I get two state refunds, though, which is nice for me," Rosdahl said. This was her second summer in Oregon, so the state sent her everything she needed to file this year. However, the year before she online to get the forms she

Dependent status costs students money
By Rachel Moluf
Special to the Kansan
Alexa Redford misses her tax refund.
Redford, Prairie Village sophomore, took a year off of school to work. During that time, her parents didn't claim her as an exemption on their income tax return.
After coming to the University of Kansas, Redford is a dependent again, which affects her own income tax refund.
"With my parents claiming me as a dependent, I get about $200 less from my tax refund," she said. "But my parents get $500 more."
However, Redford said her parents always compensated her somehow.
"My mom gives me a certain amount of money to go shopping, usually close to the

would have given life, she said. "She understands that $150 is a lot of money for someone in college."
Rachel Fuller, Augusta fifthyear senior, would rather see her refund directly.
"This is the first year my parents have not claimed me on their taxes," she said. "I should get about $700 in federal [tax
refund] and $100 from the state by being independent."
Fuller said her parents didn't offer enough financial support for them to claim her.
"Last year, my parents didn't help me pay for any of my hard expenses — tuition, books, housing, car, insurance, gas," she said. "They told me they'd pay for any major medical expenses, but I didn't have any."
Fuller doesn't know how much her parents could deduct with her as a dependent, but she knows it's enough to make a difference.
"My dad keeps asking me if I'll be a dependent next year," she said.
Michele Kessler, associate director of Legal Services for Students, said when students' parents were in a higher tax bracket, they could save almost
twice as much as students.
"If you assume that your parents are in a 28 percent tax bracket, they can subtract $784 from their taxes for each exemption," she said. "Most students are in a 15 percent bracket and can only subtract $420 for each exemption."
Students who want to be independent have to prove that they can support themselves.
Kessler said that students could be dependents of their parents if they were under 24 years old.
For students 24 and older, it's more difficult to be a dependent, she said.
"Once you hit 24, you can't meet the dependent requirements if you're earning more than $2,800 a year." Kessler said.

ABOUT THE METHODS OF FACTORIZATION
The method of factoring is a fundamental technique used in algebra to find the factors of a number. It involves breaking down the number into its prime components and then multiplying them together to get the original number.
The first step in factorization is to identify the smallest prime factors that divide the given number. These prime numbers are typically represented as $p_1, p_2, \dots, p_k$. The process of finding these prime factors is known as factorization.
Once we have identified the prime factors, we can proceed with the next step by grouping the prime factors into pairs and multiplying them together. This method is often referred to as "factoring by grouping" or "grouping factors."
In some cases, it may be more efficient to factorize a number using other methods, such as using the Euclidean algorithm or using synthetic division. However, the primary goal of factorization is to find the prime factors of a number.
Factoring by grouping is a useful tool for understanding the structure of a number and for identifying prime factors. It can also be used to simplify expressions and make calculations easier.
In conclusion, the method of factoring is an important tool in mathematics for solving problems involving prime factors of numbers. It is essential to understand the underlying concept of factorization and to practice using this method effectively.

Financial aid considered taxable income
Rv Sara Bouska
By Sara Bouska
Special to the Kansan
There may be such a thing as free money, but even free money is taxable.
Types of financial aid that do not have to be repaid, like scholarships and grants, often make it possible for University of Kansas students to pay for college.
However, when tax season rolls around, the aid is subjected to the same taxes as a student's regular income earned from work if it exceeds tuition and required fees.
Michele Kessler, associate director of Legal Services for Students, said there was really no distinction between the two types of income.
"There's no line on the tax return to report scholarships, you just add it into your income line," she said.
Kessler also said there was no distinction between scholarships and grants, even though grants came from the government and usually were based on need.
"They use the generic term scholarship for
anything that is free money to you and doesn't have to be paid back," she said.
√ TO CHECK:
Until 1987, scholarship money was not susceptible to taxes. Kessler said, and it wasn't until the last few years that the University
TO CHECK:
· SCHOLARSHIP
· LOANS
· GRANTS
started keeping track.
The result of the change in the law may be a student receiving scholarships or other aid, need-based or not, could wind up owing the government money in April.
There is some relief for students, or the party claiming the student as a dependent, in the Tax Relief Act of 1997. Part of this act
establishes education credits the student, or the person claiming the student, may receive for paying tuition.
According to IRS publication 970, which outlines the education credits, anyone who pays tuition out of pocket can be eligible for a tax credit. Part of the specifications to receive the credit is the tuition must be paid by the individual and not covered by scholarships, grants or a third-party sponsorship.
The University sends form 1098T to students who receive
aid. The form lists the tuition and fees paid for each semester on one line and the amount of scholarship or grant money the University owes the student on the next line. According to Kessler, if line two is bigger than line one, the difference is taxable
income. The third line of form 1098T i loans, which is handled differently.
"Loans you don't have to worry about for taxes because they are money you have to pay back, so it's not taxable income," Kessler said.
She also pointed out that after graduation when interest begins to accumulate on student loans, it is tax deductible.
The last line, labeled sponsorship, refers to any third party paying tuition such as an employer, a department, or another country for foreign exchange students.
She also said to keep in mind books were considered required expenses, and were tax deductible.
Kessler said these sponsorships prevented students from claiming tax credits because tuition was not paid out of pocket.
Any student who receives ad but has not received form 1098t should contact General Accounting, 20 Carruth O'Leary, 864-3322.

Kansas offers online, phone filing of state taxes
By Emily Callaghan
By Emily Callaghan Special to the Kansan
Tax season brings more options than which form to fill out — individuals can opt to file Kansas state taxes online or on the phone.
To file taxes online, you must have filed a Kansas individual income tax return last year. You must also have your personal PIN number from your mailing label or last year's refund or balance due amount. The IBM compatible computer you use must be up to speed, too. If you don't have a modem equipped with Windows 95 or newer, PCFile is not an option.
Telefile and PCFile are designed to be faster and easier than mailing standard tax forms. However, there are restrictions on both.

Elizabeth Bouwkamp, Overland Park senior, met the requirements to file from her PC but chose not to.
"Telefile is so much easier," she said.
Bouwkamp said after more than an hour of trying to file from her PC, she gave up.
"It was frustrating and annoying," she said. "It took forever to download the form."
After she entered all of her information, the page malfunctioned and did not allow her to submit her form.
"Telefile took 10 minutes, and there was a voice prompting you to enter the appropriate information," she said.
Her refund was deposited directly

into her checking account seven days after she filed. She said she was initially attracted to PCFile because she had heard refunds were issued within two days.
She also said filing by phone was more user-friendly, which is more important than a faster refund.

It it took was a pebble to set off Buck Rowland.
On a balmy Christmas Eve day in 1994, Rowland and a friend were walking on Massachusetts Street.
A pebble hit Rowland on the head. Profanity burst from a car waiting at the stop light at 11th and Massachusetts streets.
"Faggots! Queers!"
rowland, a gay activist in the Lawrence community, jumped into action.
The car turned onto Massachusetts, which was clogged with slow-moving traffic. Rowland ran into the street and challenged the three men in the car. Two looked scared. The other wanted to fight. Rowland opened the door and dragged him out onto the pavement. The two neared blows as police arrived.
"My anger got the best of me," Rowland admits today.
For 38-year-old Donald "Buck" Rowland, graduate student in education, the pebble was part of a rock slide of abuse he's taken throughout his life as a gay Kansan.
His response? Instant, direct, aggressive. Rowland may be a loving husband of 13 years who calls his mother several times a week, but, if provoked, he quickly gets tough. And it doesn't take much to provoke him — not anymore.
Rowland pressed charges against the men on Mass. Street. Courts forced all three to apologize and perform community service.
Many gays and lesbians shy away from confrontation with gay bashers.
"That only reinforces the behavior of the people who do it." says Rowland.
"When I was in elementary school, people were in the closet about being divorced," he said. "What I learned was to be independent of other people's value systems."
"I've had guns pulled on me. I had a car destroyed, a house broken into and defaced. I've been beaten up. Singled out by the police," he says.
Roland grew up in Wichita, raised by a single mother and her extended family. A single mom was a rarity in the 1960s.
When Rowland found out one of the pebble-throwers worked at a local fast-food restaurant, he began to drop by to order a ham burger whenever the man was working
The ring reminds Rowland of her strength and determination, he says.
Rowland came out of the closet when he was a junior in high school.
Glenda Griggs, Roland's mother, remembers those years more matter-of-factly.
Out of the closet
"Every day people confronted me," he says. "I had teachers call me a faggot in the hallways at high school."
"I just wanted him to know I was still here and that I wasn't afraid," Rowland said.
Rowland wears a gold ring on the pinkie finger of his right hand. It's the ring his mother wore when she was single, to keep people from asking questions. She gave the ring to Rowland about 20 years ago.
When his high school French club planned a trip to Europe, the group had dinner with the travel agency that was arranging the trip.
"I never let it bother me," she says. "I did what I had to do. Most people were going to homes and giving their babies up."
At the dinner, Rowland met a young man from another school. The two went out. The young man eventually told his teacher of his flirtation with Rowland. When the news came back to Rowland's teacher, she and the travel agency canceled the trip.
"All of a sudden I realized it — this is your child." Grigsz saves now.
"There just came a point where I could not tolerate being oppressed for being gay. If people didn't like it, that was tough."
Home life wasn't easy either, but Rowland's mother eventually accepted her son.
"I had to explain to the whole French club what had happened," he recalls. "That was a lot of fun."
Griggs, who works in a Wichita diner, doesn't tolerate people talking badly about gay and lesbian people. It makes her feel bad for her son, she says.
"It still upsets me," she says. "I just say, 'How would you feel or what would you do if your child were gay?'
While she doesn't tell them about her son directly, Griggs delivers a stern lecture to people using hate speech.
Girgs says she sees parts of her personality in Rowland.
A lot of Navy veterans end up with a tattoo. Rowland left the service with a new first name.
"It's a way for me to hold on to the past now," he says.
"He's very outspoken," she says. "Very opinionated. He doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut."
Spurred to activism
In the Navy, friends began to call him "Buck."
He no longer tells the story of how — or why — he got the name.
the friends who gave him the nickname all have died from AIDS since then.
Rowland enlisted in the Navy in the early 1980s. It was a time when the services asked and Rowland told the interviewer he was gay.
"He just laughed, checked 'yes,' and sent me on through." Rowland recalls.
He first assignment was Balboa hospital in San Diego — a building commonly called the "Pink Palace." It was across the street from a gay park in a gay neighborhood.
Rowland marched in a gay pride parade—which went right in front of the base. His commander and others from the base watched. The commander later spoke to Rowland privately, telling him he needed to be more discreet and that he was putting his

Buck Rowland faces homophobes with unflinching resolve
Donald "Buck" Rowland, Lawrence graduate student, and his partner of 13 years Mark Sandercock, background, lead mostly typical Midwestern lives. Growing up gay in Kansas has honed Rowland's sense of social responsibility." I've had guns pulled on me, I had a car destroyed, a house broken into and defaced; I've been beaten up, singled out by the police," Rowland said.

Rowland was unconcerned. He knew how many gay and lesbian sailors there were.
"They would have been understaffed if they'd gotten rid of him," he said.
Next to the ring from his mother, Rowland wears a simple gold band. It's a gift from the man he calls his husband — Mark Sandercock. The couple has not had a formal ceremony, but each calls the other his husband anyway.
Rowland met Sandercock when they shared a biology class at Wichita State University. After leaving the Navy, Rowland had gone back to school to study education.
"It didn't feel like something that needed to be addressed," he said.
"He seemed to have a lot of confidence, and he was really good-looking," says Sandercock, whose father's work in the Air Force brought his family to Wichita. "I tend to be a little shier."
Sandercock says his father had worked with several gay and lesbian people in the military. Sexual orientation was never a big deal in his home.
The couple is a study in contrasts. While Rowland finds solace in religion, Sandercock says it is "less important" to him. While Rowland works in high-profile community activities, Sandercock restores furniture.
"He kind of spices up my life, and I calm his life down." Sandercock says.
"It's always about conflict and compromise" he says
Rowland says Sandercock is tolerant of his flery temperament.
Rowland organized a gay and lesbian event at Wichita's annual River Festival. Rowland brought together speakers, art and live music for a day of activities directed to the queer community. About 150 people attended.
nise, he says.
Sandercock puts his finger on an event in the summer of 1988 that as a turning point for Rowland's activism.
"It was something he put together completely by himself," Sandercock says. "I thought that was so cool."
Rowland called the event his farewell to the Wichita queer community.
"I hate Wichita," he says. "I still do. But I hated leave there thinking I didn't try."
An outspoken advocate
Rowland's life has had one constant through the years:
"I've learned to create my own worlds," he says. "I don't fit into the one society's given me."
After moving to Lawrence in 1989, Rowland graduated from the University of Kansas in 1993 with a degree in education.
That manifests itself in Rowland as constant restlessness. Constant dissatisfaction. And a constant striving to change the world society has given him.
"It would be a lot more emotionally rewarding to be a prostitute — at least at the end you know somebody's pleased," he says. "You have to hide so much about yourself."
Roland said it was difficult to find a job in the area because he doesn't coach sports. He did substitute teaching for a time, though he found it unfulfilling.
Rowland is now working on his masters' degree in education at KU. He hopes to have his work wrapped up by May.
While going through the routine educational channels of the University, Rowland threw himself into the Lawrence queer community. He volunteered in Queers and Allies, and then from 1989 to 1999 was the Lesbian/Bisexual/Gay/Transgender Liaison for the University.
He worked out of the Student Development Center. While he looks back at his work with pride, he often was frustrated.
Mary Ann Rasnak, director of the center, supervised Rowland for the year he worked as the liaison.
"He worked many hours beyond those for which I could pay him," she says. "Buck never just sat at his desk and waited for people to come to him."
Matthew Skinta, Andover senior, was the director of Queens and Allies while Rowland was LBGT liaison. He says Rowland was an inspiration and a help.
"He kind of embodies a lot of the ideology of queer activism." Skinta says.
But Skinta says that Rowland's abrasiveness sometimes entered the equation.
"He's a very outspoken advocate," he said. "He has his own point of view — sometimes that's led to conflict with other activists in the queer community in Lawrence."
When Rasnak changed the name of the LBGT liaison to that of LBGT resource coordinator last semester, Rowland was unhappy. He says the change was done in good faith but is just inaccurate.
"There are no actual resources to coordinate," he says. "The administration really doesn't put resources out."
The name was changed anyway.
Rowland now works as an Information Outreach Specialist focusing on the gay male community for the Douglas County AIDS Project.
His activism took a new form two years ago when he joined with Lawrence resident Brad Koehler to create Queer Radio, a weekly show featuring information and entertainment focusing on queer issues. The show airs 4 p.m. Mondays on J.K.HK.
And through it all, he forcefully advocates equality for queer people.
"I'm a very abrasive person, and I know that," he says. "It makes me glad that that gift has been given to me instead of someone who might feel defeated by it. Better me than someone who can't take it."

Parents bring kids to class
SUGGET TRAINING

Kansas staff writer
Kevin Chesnut treks across campus with three of his daughters. They arrive at his classroom and begin preparing for class — taking off coats, unpacking books and coloring books. Just as things calm down, one of his girls whispers she must go to the bathroom.

For a multitude of reasons, many student-parents bring their children to class. It might be to help out a spouse or co-partner with a time crunch or simply to allow them a moment of solitude.
Parents might find conflicts with day-care centers closed while the University is open. If children are sick, they aren't allowed in either school or day care. Students, who must attend class, have little choice but to bring their sick children with them.
"Most of the time it's just to give their mother a break," said Chesnut, who has four children with his wife, Allison. "She is a homemaker. But it's a challenge taking all three of the girls. There are a lot of things you take for granted."
Chesnut said it took more time and effort to prepare for and get to class with the girls in tow. The girls enjoy the recurring visit to campus as they go to Wescoe Terrace for snacks and drinks, Chesnut said. He has yet to take his youngest child, an 18-month-old, to class.
"Surprisingly enough, I have been complimented many times about their behavior," Chesnut said. "It seems they behave exactly the opposite at home."
Ray Higgins, professor of psychology, said he didn't have a problem with children attending his class, but it could become a problem if children distracted the class from learning.
"If they would make a racket or drew attention to themselves, it would become a problem," Higgins said. "It would be a problem if students got up and ran around as well."
Six-year-old Kamron rules the roost when he comes to school with his mom, Lisa Elkins, a Lawrence senior. Kamron has been introduced in Elkins' classes and even has made his own friends at the University. He isn't shy either, shouting hello to a friend, Matt, as he tried to sneak late into the class of 120 students.
"He is awesome when I bring him to class," Elkins said. "I have been going to school his whole life. He is used to it."
On days when the day care is closed due to a holiday or inclement weather, Elkins said she was left with little choice other than to bring Kamron with her to class. Her day care, Apples and Oranges, receives federal funding and follows the government's holiday schedule.
That left Elkins in a bind on President's Day, so she took Kamron to class with her for the day. Weather also poses a challenge as schools and day cares close, while the University continues with classes.
When the youngster gets sick, the idea of going to class isn't much fun but still a necessity, Elkins said. Elementary schools and daycare centers do not want other children to become sick, so for everyone's protection sick children aren't allowed. There are few options left for Elkins, who tries to get friends to stay with Kamron, but sometimes she must take him to class.
"There is nowhere for him to go when he is sick," Elkins said. "If I have to be in class, I have to be in class. He has to come with me."
Arlene Barry, associate professor of teaching and leadership, said she had no problem with students bringing their children to class and she would rather have parents bring their children than be absent.
Barry, who teaches literacy, even brings an array of books for the children, including fairy tales and pop-up books. She said she had children in her class at least once a semester and she enjoyed the experience.
"I am happy to have children in my class," Barry said. "Most of my students are going to be middle-or high-school teachers, who often have children of their own. With snow days or problems with day care, they sometimes bring their children to class."

Sports fan defines a "real sport"
This is my first Kansan sports column so, in a shameless attempt at attracting readers and gaining notoriety, I'm going to stir up controversy.
First, NASCAR is not a sport; it's an activity participated in by various groups of rednecks across the country. Golf isn't a sport, either. It's merely a hobby taken up by society's rich and elite.
And, while we're on the topic, professional wrestling is a sport. Not so much the WCW, but the WWF certainly is. Professional wrestlers are undoubtedly athletes. No one would debate that. And they do compete in legitimate wrestling matches where the objective is to pin or force an opponent to submit. Tell me how that's not a sport.
Cheerleading? Not a sport. Soccer? While technically a sport elsewhere in the world, in the United States, it's not. How am I doing? Mad yet? Just keep reading.
Come to think of it, most women's sports aren't really sports at all. They are more aptly classified as feeble attempts at achieving gender equity in a society traditionally dominated by men. While admirable and a social good, all women's sports should be renamed Title IX activities.
Now there's no debating that football, baseball and (men's) basketball deserve to be labeled as sports, but there are some limitations to their classifications as well.
That brings us to the Kansas men's basketball team, whose stranglehold on being labeled a sports team is slipping fast.
Also, judging by the Kansas baseball team's record in recent years, coach Bobby Randall's squad isn't playing a sport, either. They're partaking in a recreational activity, much like what five- and six-year-olds do when they play t-ball during the summer.
Why, you ask, would I question the Jayhawks' legitimacy? Does the NCAA Tournament ring a bell? During Roy Williams' tenure at Kansas, the Jayhawks have made just two Final Fours. That means 83.3 percent of the time, Kansas men's basketball seasons end in failure.
For instance, NCAA football is exciting to watch, but when the Kansas football team is on the field it's no longer a sport. Instead, it's more of a glorified scrimmage where one team (not Kansas) lets its starters hone their skills and improve their end-zone dances against a practice squad of tackling dummies (Kansas).
Now, I know Williams has won about 80 percent of his games as coach, but these constant tournament meltdowns are unacceptable. The men's basketball team may be Kansas' last remaining sports team, but another tumble in the Big Dance could change that in a hurry. Roy's boys simply can't afford to go belly up again this March. We all remember the disaster against Duke last season.
Now, I now you're mad. And if you're not, then stop reading this column because you are not a real sports fan. If you were a sports fan, then you'd be fuming right now about the outlandish claims I've made.
And, while I don't really agree with most the things I've written, that's the beauty of it all. Sports are made to be debated and dissected and defended and, well, just plain talked about.
That's why sports nuts are so crazy about sports. Sports are consuming. They grip you and make you feel. Spo ts are about real life and real life is about sports. It's all related and it's beautiful.
Just because I think professional wrestling is a sport, doesn't mean you have to. So keep on loving Roy. Love the Royals. Despise Jamaal Tinsley and, most of all, hate that good-for-nothing pretty boy Quin Snyder.
After all, we are real sports fans, and that's what we're supposed to do.

Battle in Bramlage
Jayhawks fancy 'Cats at Manhattan
WARNING
Kyle Ramsey/KANSAN
By Chris Wristen sports@kanson.com
Kansas writerwriter
All it takes is a short drive down I-70 to Manhattan and you'll find it — Bramlage Coliseum — an arena the Kansas men's basketball team could consider its home away from home.
It may not be Allen Fieldhouse, but the No. 10 Jayhawks (21-5, 10-4 Big 12 Conference) traditionally have had more success in Bramlage, their version of Allen Fieldhouse West. They will journey there again for a game at 8 tonight in hopes of chalking up another victory.
Kansas leads the all-time series with the Wildcats, 159-88, and has a 32-17 record against K-State in Allen Fieldhouse.
Manhattan is another story.
The Jayhawks have won 17 straight games on K-State's home floor, including all 12 meetings in Bramlage Coliseum. Kansas coach Roy Williams has never lost at Bramlage and said he was amazed how long the streak had survived.
"It's almost unbelievable, but at the same time I know it's going to end." Williams said. "We keep saying it every year, let's put it off one more year, and it's the same way we will attack it this time. We've had a great run and we would like to continue it one more time."
K-State's last home victory against Kansas was January 29, 1983, in the old Ahearn Fieldhouse. Jack Hartman was the Wildcats' coach, and his team won a 58-57 thriller against the Ted Owens-coached Jayhawks. Larry Brown took the reins at Kansas the next year and led the 'Hawks to a 63-61 victory that started almost two decades of Jayhawk dominance in the Little Apple.
The next line of Wildcat coaches never caged the Jayhawks either. Current Atlanta Hawks coach Lon Kruger coached the 'Cats from 1987-1990 and never won in Manhattan. Current Creighton coach Dana Altman (91-94) lost all four home games against Kansas. Former coach Tom Asbury was 0-for-6 at a lureage against the Jayhawks.
It's a new era at Kansas State, though. Times have changed, and so have coaches. Former Chicago Bulls assistant Jim Wooldridge took charge of the K-State program this year and his Wildcats (9-16, 3-11) have played their best basketball at home. They beat then-ranked Iowa and Missouri in Bramlage and lost to then-No. 18 Oklahoma 64-63 in overtime.
That home success caught the attention of Kansas junior forward Jeff Carey, but he said the Jayhawks wouldn't rely on the

Harbour: Striving to be Academic All-American
Harbour needs to be aggressive. During the men's golf season, he balances morning classes, afternoon golf practice at Alvamar Country Club from 1:30 to 7 p.m., and weekend tournaments as far away, as
Fukushima, Japan. With both a fall and spring schedule, his personal life is on hold. "It's part of the territory to be busy." Harbour said. "We practice all the time."
Despite his athletic prowess, Harbour's 3.4 grade point average proves his major in business administration is more than a divot. Harbour is a Jayhawk Scholar and has a chance at becoming an Academic All-American. To gain this honor, college athletes must maintain a 3.2 GPA while competing full time.
Harbour's not just all brains. Like any athlete, he loves winning. Last summer, Harbour won the Kansas Open on his home course, Alvamar. He was the first amateur to win the tournament, which is open to both professionals and amateurs.
"He shot lights-out that day," said Jessica Wachter, a friend of Harbour's.
Going into the last day of competition, Harbour was four strokes behind the leader. On the back nine, he outshot his competition, scoring 209 on 54-holes and winning the tournament.
'This season, during the first tournament of the spring season, Harbour and two other 'Hawks tied for third place at 1-under-par 215. He shot a 74-70-71 for the 54-hole Rice Intercollegiate Invitational on Feb. 12-13 at Meadowbrook Farms Golf Club in Katy, Texas.
As a team, the Jayhawks won the event, moving them up in the national polls to the No.19 spot. This is the team's second victory of the 2000-2001 season.
For now, Harbour is taking life one hole at a time.
"You're out there all by yourself," he said.
"You don't rely on anyone else and can't blame anyone else when something goes wrong. And the hard work you put in is for yourself."

'Hawks hope to bag struggling Aggies
By Jessie Meyer

Kansan sportswriter
The Kansas women's basketball team may have finally found an opponent with a season-long list of woes similar to its own.
"The confidence boost we could take in getting a victory on the road would be huge for us," Kansas senior guard Jennifer Jackson said. "We've got to go into Texas A&M with the mindset that we've got to get a victory."
In its last regular season game, the Jayhawks (10-16, 4-11 Big 12 Conference) will face Texas A&M (12-14, 2-13) at 7 tonight at Reed Arena in College Station, Texas. The Aggies have dropped their last nine games and are currently at the bottom of the Big 12.
And the outcome against A&M — a team the Jayhawks are 5-0 all-time against — depends on which Kansas women's team shows up to play. The Jayhawks, who are on a two-game losing streak, have maintained an intensity-packed attack and upset teams like nationally ranked Texas and Iowa State. But Kansas has also come out flat and faltered against teams such as Nebraska and Missouri.
"We've had times where we've looked like the fifth team in the nation and we've had times where we've looked like the 355th team in the nation," Jackson said. "We've still got a lot of fight left in us. I think that as long as we have our
fight we'll always have a chance."
The 'Hawks displayed that fight in the second half against Missouri on Saturday in Allen Fieldhouse, trying to rally back from a 22 point deficit. But it was too little too late for Kansas, and the 'Hawks cannot afford to get themselves in a similar position with A&M.
Kansas will have to keep an eye on Aggie senior forward Jaynetta Saunders, who is averaging 22.7 points and 7.1 rebounds and is capable of taking control of games. Saunders became the all-time single-season scoring leader for A&M in the Aggies' last game.
Joining her offensive attack are senior guard Brandy Jones, who adds 11.1 points, and freshman Toccara Williams, who averages 7 assists and 9.9 steals.
"I think this will be an important game for us to finish the season out strong," Kansas senior forward Brooke Reves said. "It'll be another emotional time. It'll hopefully be a good end to a long learning season."
Though it marks the end of the regular season, the game against A&M could be what the Jayhawks need most to prepare for the Big 12 Tournament, which starts next week in Kansas City, Mo.
"We will do our best to get ready for Texas A&M," Kansas coach Marian Washington said. "And hopefully go in with nothing to lose in Kansas City and see what might happen."

K- State basketball coach receives reprimand
DALLAS — Kansas State men's basketball club Jim Wooldridge received a public reprimand yesterday from Big 12 Conference Commissioner Kevin Weiberg for comments Wooldridge made about officiating after the Kansas State-Oklahoma state game on Saturday.
Wooldridge was cited by the Conference for violating the Big 1.2's Principles and Standards of Sportsmanship
Any further violation of the Principles and Standards of Sportsmanship could result in additional penalties for Wooldridge, including a suspension from coaching.
"Coach Wooldridge's assertion that teams receive different officiating based on their position in the Conference's standings is very inappropriate and is not true," Weiberg said in a statement. "The officials that work our games also work in other major conferences and conduct themselves with a high level of professionalism."

Belle won't make trip because of hip injury
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. — Albert Belle won't be in Baltimore's lineup for its spring opener against St. Louis on Friday because of a sore hip that has put his future with the
MLB
team in doubt.
While Belle will miss the road trip to Jupiter, Fla., he is scheduled to start in right field the next day against the Minnesota Twins at Fort Lauderdale.
Bell has been used in right field for all three intraquad games, with mixed results. He has hit the ball with authority but continues to move poorly in the outfield and on the basepaths. He hasn't attempted to slide, even in drills.
Baltimore resists making projections on Belle based on his physical condition. He most likely will be restricted to use as the designated hitter.
"If there's a close play, he's supposed to slide. He'll play hard," manager Mike Hargrove said yesterday. "Albert has not backed off or asked out of anything here. There have been times we've gone up to him and asked him how he feels and if he wants to sit out a drill. He's not taken us up on the offer, which is good to see."
Vizquel's cartwheel gave him away. Vizquel, Cleveland's perennial Gold Glove shortstop, has agreed to terms on a $15 million, two-year contract extension with the Indians, a baseball source told The Associated Press.

Vizquel had been signed through 2002 at $3 million per season. The extension includes an option for 2005.
As he ran onto the field for an intrasquad game on Tuesday, the 33-year-old Vizquel, who reported to training camp four days late last week, performed his gymnastic move.
The Indians have scheduled a news conference for today, when they are expected to announce the extension.

Forward bounces back from injury
The Associated Press
PHOENIX — The replay of Shawn Marion's frightening fall — his head violently bouncing off the hardwood court — has been shown again and again on television.
The spectacular second-year forward and the NBA's player of the week last week remembers none of it.
"I don't remember falling. I don't remember nothing." Marion said after the Phoenix Suns' practice yesterday. "The first I heard about it was when I saw it on TV. It was crazy. I was like, 'Man, I didn't know it was like that.' I don't like watching it. I just look away."
Marion sustained a grade-3 concussion, the most severe type, and a sprained right wrist when he soared high for a rebound in the final minute of Phoenix's 90-80 victory against Utah and down on the back of the Jazz's John Starks.
Marion said he didn't blame Starks.
"I don't think he had a feeling of just how high I was up," Marion said.
Suns coach Scott Skiles, who initially thought it was a clean play, isn't so sure now.
"I've looked at it so many times now, I know I don't like it." Skiles said. "I feel like it could have been
Marion said doctors had told him he would miss at least two games, but could return for the home game against Denver on Saturday night.
Skiles said Suns president Bryan Colangelo had spoken to NBA officials about the incident, but Colangelo declined to comment further.
"I thank God it wasn't worse than it was," Marion said. "But it happened, it's cool, I'm all right. Let's leave it alone and play ball."
Marion averaged 24 points and 13 rebounds while shooting just under 60 percent from the field as the Suns went 6-1 since the All-Star break. They've won four in a row going into tonight's home game against Orlando, with road victories against the Magic, Miami and New York.
"We knew he was going to be all right that night," teammate Mario Elie said. "Everybody called him. He's in his good spirits. The guys have been playing amazing basketball.
"I feel like he took a glance, saw him up in the air and continued to back in under him — and then tried to catch him."
Marion was in and out of consciousness on the court but said he remembered nothing until waking up in the hospital. He said he still had a slight headache and was tired and sore, but he showed up for the Suns' "Team Up" appearance in front of thousands of screaming elementary students yesterday.
He watched yesterday's workout, but plans a light workout the next two days and a full practice on Friday.
prevented. I don't feel like there was enough time for a thought process of 'Hey, I'm going to undercut this guy.' But I think he could have not done it, that he had enough of a split second there not to do it.
Marion is sixth in the NBA in rebounding at 11.4 per game. At 6-foot-7, he is by far the shortest of the top 20 rebounds in the league. He doesn't know if he will be a bit tentative, a little afraid, the next time he soars toward the rim.
"I can't say right now," Marion said. "I don't think so. I think I'll still do what I'm supposed to do out there, just go play ball."

Elie expects Marion to come back as good as ever.
"I remember when I broke my forearm, I came back attacking the same way I was," Elie said. "You can't worry about that stuff. It's part of the game. I'm sure the first couple of minutes he'll be a little nervous, but once he gets a couple of dunks and a couple of blocks, he'll be right back in the swing of things."

Where are they now?
Former pitcher stays in game
By Brent Briggeman
sports@kansan.com
Kansas sportwriter
The boxes are piled up in the living room of Steve Renko's Shawnee Mission home. It's late February, time to go to Arizona and get back to work.
Such is the life of the professional baseball player.
Renko, a former Kansas pitcher and longtime fixture in the Major Leagues, has found his calling as a pitching coach in the San Francisco Giants minor league system.
Ironically, Renko's career didn't begin with baseball: He came to Kansas on a football scholarship just happened to play basketball and baseball, too.
"I love working with the kids," he said. "So much of the game is mental. I feel like my experience and knowledge can really help these guys out. Most of the guys I work with have the talent, they just need the confidence and that little edge. I really enjoy trying to help them find that."
"That's the way a lot of guys did it," he said. "There were only about five or six baseball scholarships given out then, so they'd work out deals to get you playing multiple sports."
Though he forged a successful football career, earning a start job at quarterback as a sophomore and playing in the same backfield with Gale Sayers, it was on the baseball field that Renko made a living.
Renko was drafted by the New York Mets in 1965 after his junior year. He signed and left school. After coming through the minor leagues with players like Nolan Ryan and Jerry Koosman, he was traded to the Montreal Expos in 1969 and made his Major League debut less than two weeks later.
A
Phil Renko
"That was a great moment; that's what you work for," he said.
He played for the next 13 seasons for seven different teams. He twice won 15 games in a season and finished his career with 134 wins and more than 1,500 strikeouts.
Kansas coach Bobby Randall was among the players who faced Renko.
Renko said things were different nowadays compared with when he played. The major difference is in the lifestyles of ballplayers, he said.
"He was extremely competitive and just a terrific, terrific pitcher," said Randall, who played five seasons for the Minnesota Twins. "He had a great fastball and a really strong curve."
When Renko entered the league, the major league minimum was $7,500. Now it's $275,000. With less money, players spent their off-seasons working.
"I worked a number of jobs," he said. "I worked in a factory, I worked on the railroad. Do I wish I was 20 years younger and making the millions they make now? Sure. But it was just a different time then."
to maintain a stable family life. His wife of 36 years, Sandra, stayed at home in Kansas City with their two boys during the months that the season intertwined with school. Then they spent the rest of the summer traveling with Renko and his teams.
"My boys loved it," he said. "They grew up around all the different ballparks and got to spend time with all the other kids. They were getting old enough to start shagging balls toward the end. They begged me to play a few more years, but it was time to hang it up."
During his career, Renko was able
Renko entered the real estate business after leaving baseball in 1983. During the next decade, he tried a few different careers but continued coaching local baseball teams in the Ban Johnson and American Legion leagues.
"I was working 12 hours a day, then coaching a lot of the time," he said. "So I finally got to the point where I realized I should just get back into baseball."
The California Angels were the first team to offer him a position and a new life in professional baseball six years ago.
Despite the long bus rides, Renko said he enjoyed working in the minor leagues.
"Sure, I'd probably like to try to coach in the majors, the money and prestige is much higher," he said. "But anymore it's become more of a baby-sitting job than anything else. The players at that level are making a hell of a lot more money than their coaches and more than we ever did, so they don't listen to anything we have to say.
"The players in the minors don't have the egos and are willing to work and learn," he said.
The Associated Press
KISSIMMEE, Fla. — They clustered in the middle of the infield, a who's who of pitching, all wondering just how they'll be affected by the new strike zone.
Pitchers analyze new strike zone
Greg Maddux, Tom Glavine and John Smoltz — with seven Cy Young Awards among them — got their first look yesterday at a change that could profoundly impact the way they go about their business.
Umpires Jeff Nelson and Laz Diaz crouched behind the plate as the Atlanta Braves took batting practice, giving an orientation on baseball's plan to call the strike zone by the rule book definition this season.
Glavine and Maddux in particular could be affected by the change. They have thrived for the past decade by pitching on the outside corner of the plate — and beyond.
"Of course, I'm concerned," said Glavine, a two-time Cy Young winner who went 21-9 with a 3.40 ERA last season. "But we don't know what's going to happen. They can say they're going to call it uniform all they want, but there's still the human element."
Supposedly, many of those pitches will no longer be strikes.
Opponents have grumbled for years that Glavine and Maddux rarely throw strikes but usually get the call on pitches that are inches away from the outside corner.
Edited by Melinda Weaver
That won't be the case anymore, according to Diaz. The rule book says a strike is any pitch over the plate from the top of the knees to the midpoint between the top of the shoulders and the top of pants.
"They're going to have to throw it over the plate," Diaz said. "In the past, we would give them a pitch that was off the plate half a ball. Now, at least part of the ball has to
Braves
go over the plate."
Maddux, who won four straight Cy Youngs from 1992-95 and was 19-9 with a 3.00 ERA last season, conceded he might have to make a few adjustments. But he was adamant that he won't change his basic philosophy: keep pitches down and away.
"I'm not concerned where I throw pitches," he said. "I'm concerned about how I throw pitches. If you want someone to talk about the strike zone, don't talk to me."
But what happens if Maddux keeps pitching off the outside corner and the umpires keep calling balls?
"I guess I'll throw two or three innings and go home," he said. "What are you going to do?"
Smoltz, more of a power pitcher than Maddux and Glavine, could benefit from the change if recovered from an elbow injury that kept him out all of last season.
"Yeah, it's going to help me," said Smoltz, the 1996 Cy Young winner. "Hitters have been taught not to swing at that pitch."
While umpires are supposed to narrow the width of the strike zone, they've also been ordered to call the high strike.
But Glavine has no desire to take advantage of the upward expansion in the strike zone. Just try throwing a high changeup to Mark McGwire.
"That's the way you want to pitch," Glavine said. "I've been conditioned to keep it down, so I'm still going to keep it down."
Maddux, Glavine and S moldzit **n't** throw during yesterday's ses
sion. Instead, they gathered behind second base in the main stadium, getting a good view as Odalis Perez and Kevin McGlinchy threw batting practice and Nelson called balls and strikes.
Diaz worked on an outer field, where Braves closer John Rocker was among those on the mound for batting practice.
Braves third baseman Chipper Jones, the first player to hit with Nelson behind the plate, didn't notice much of a change. But he is fretting about the eventual impact on Glavine and Maddux.
"Yeah, it's going to hurt them." Jones said. "They can't get the ball up in the strike zone. They don't have the overpowering stuff to get it by you, so they need a couple of inches either way."
Manager Bobby Cox has already started the lobbying effort.
"A pitch that's within an inch or an inch and a half of the plate has got to be a strike," Cox said. "That's a perfect pitch, I don't care what anybody says."
While notorious for his run-ins with the umpes, Cox now sounds like one of their best friends. He sees nothing wrong with the inequities in the old system, which didn't seem to hurt the Braves a bit; they've had one of the strongest staffs in baseball since the early 1990s.
"Every umpire has got to have his own identity," Cox said. "We don't want them all to be mechanical."
Glavine doesn't expect the new strike zone to suddenly eliminate the various ways of judging a pitch. He also took a shot at those who imply that only the Braves pitchers get favorable treatment from the ump.
"Do Tony Gwynn and Barry Bonds have the same strike zone as everyone else?" Glavine asked. "Don't tell me it's the same. It's not."
Thomas returns to White Sox with his tail tucked, contract still undecided
The Associated Press
TUCSON, Ariz. — Frank Thomas not only showed up, he apologized.
I piled in a returned to the Chicago White Sox yesterday after missing six workouts while complaining he was underpaid. But he insisted his boycott wasn't about money.

Thomas acknowledged fans, whose favor he regained by hitting .328 last year with 43 homers and 143 RBIs.
probably would turn on him.
"I've never been greedy." Thomas said. "I've had a couple of opportunities to be the highest-paid player in this game, and I didn't want to be there."
"I extend my apologies to those who were affected by my absence. It was a big distraction." Thomas said.
He began his news conference by apologizing to fans and his teammates, whom he plans to discuss the situation with one on one.
1 nomas, who returned on the mandatory reporting date specified by baseball's labor contract, is due $9,927,000 in each of the next six seasons, but only this year is really guaranteed.
If he fails to become an All-Star, win a Silver Slugger or finish among the top 10 in MVP voting, Chicago has the power to change his salary to $250,000 plus $10,125,000 deferred. If that happens Thomas could terminate the contract and become a free agent.
ing days off until we got things clear," Thomas said. "I made no contract demands, I made no trade demands. Money was never the issue. I felt a player who's done what I've done and established a career like I have that certain clauses just seemed unfair to me."
"It was never a holdout. It was tak-
Thomas met Monday night with White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf.
"He didn't promise he would make any changes, but he said we would work on it." Thomas said.
Thomas also would like to rework some of the deferred money in his contract. His current contact calls for the team to defer $3,827,000 of each year's salary with interest. He won't get some of that until he's in his '50s.
"Who knows if I'll be here? I've earned my money and it's mine," Thomas said.
Reinford issued a statement that was both critical and encouraging.
Thomas, he said, "understands the public damage caused by his comments and realizes how hard he will have to work to begin repairing his relationship with the fans."
"Frank Thomas has apologized publicly for his remarks about renegotiating his contract, his delayed arrival in camp and the effect his words and actions may have had on our team and fans." Reinsdorf said.
When he left camp last week, Thomas complained he was underpaid in relation to Alex Rodriguez's $252 million, 10-year contract with Texas.
"I said the pay scale is out of whack," Thomas said yesterday. "We're going in at 7-9 million and the bar has been set at 25 million."
"Players will have grips and that will continue until something is settled, something is done. I didn't say 'Look this is my stance today and I'm walking out of camp.' It wasn't like that."
Thomas said he needed the extra days to think about his contract before beginning practice. When Thomas first agreed to his contract in 1997, the guaranteed amount of the first four years averaged $7,756,750, the 10th-highest average salary in baseball at the time.
"Frank has never made demands of me in terms of his contract," Reinsdorf said, "and he again expressed his willingness to honor his current contract."
Reinsdorf denied the team had agreed to drop the revised payment clause but it's always possible he
could agree to that in the future.
"Frank will do his job and now we can live happily ever after," reliever Keith Foulke said. "We've got a month left. It's not like he just showed up for the last week of spring training."
Newly acquired David Wells, who reported nearly a week after the voluntary date for pitchers to arrive, said players should honor their contracts.
"As long as he keeps it to himself and doesn't bring it upon us, I don't think it's going to matter." Wells said.
Manager Jerry Manuel, who got into a screaming match with Thomas a year ago in spring training, said he was confident the six-day walkout would not affect his DH, a two-time AL MVP.

streak to bring them victory.
"We do have a nice streak going, and we're proud of that, but you can't be thinking about that or it'll get your mind off what you need to be thinking about," Carey said. "We've always had the mindset that we're going to go in there and play hard because they're going to play well at home."
"The first time we played them they did a great job at being tougher," Collison said. "We made a run at them and they didn't fold."
Sophomore forward Nick Collison, this week's Big 12 Player of the Week, said he could tell in the first meeting on Jan. 27, a 92-66 Kansas victory, that K-State was much better this year.
Tonight also will mark the return of sophomore forward Drew Gooden, who will suit up after missing the last five games with a fracture in his wrist.
Gooden, Kansas' second-leading scorer and the Big 12's leading rebounder, scored 10 points and grabbed 12 rebounds in the earlier meeting against K-State. The Jayhawks clearly missed Gooden in his absence, losing two of five games. Collison said Gooden was returning just in time.
"It's going to be huge," Collison said. "He does such a good job of scoring and rebounding, but it's his rebounding that's going to really help.
"We know how fired up they're going to be. It's their Senior Night and they haven't beat us for a while. If I was in their situation I'd be up like crazy trying to knock us off," he said.

Red Sox retain Olympic hero Former Wildcats for position It did raise his profile above other in the first for the first run of the games, all with Oakland in 1998. He
Neill, a career minor-leaguer won Sydney gold
The Associated Press
FORT MYERS, Fla. — On a team with big hitters, Mike Neill draws little attention when he takes his swings.
BOSTON
RED SOX
He spent the past 10 seasons in the minors and just hopes the Red Sox remember him when they need an extra bat. But he's done some
tning that Manny Ramirez and Carl Everett haven't.
Neill is an Olympic champion, a hero of the United States' victory against Cuba in the gold-medal game at Sydney last year.
"It's a great experience and something I'm going to cherish the rest of my life," he said yesterday. "But, at the same time, it's not going to help me make the Red Sox right now."
It did raise his profile above other minor league hopefuls who worked just as hard with as much success but haven't reached the majors.
Would any other 30-year-old who spent a decade beating the bushes get calls from 10 to 15 major-league teams, as Neill did after the Olympics?
He chose Boston because it seemed most interested in him as a potential major leaguer, although he's likely to begin the season in the minors. His major league memories about Boston are pleasant ones. He's 4-for-8 against the Red Sox, 0-for-7 against other teams.
"Whether it's in (Triple-A) Pawtucket or if it's in Boston, I'm going to try to have fun," Neill said. "Hopefully, (Boston) will be in the race, and they just want an extra body as someone to have there."
He knows he'll be able to handle the pressure of a pennant race.
"I can't imagine it being any more than having USA on your chest and knowing that, if you lose, it's not acceptable," Neill said.
Neill came through in critical situations in Sydney, hitting a two-run, 13th-inning inner for a 4-2 win over Japan in the opener, then homering
in the first for the first run of the United States' 4-0 win over Cuba for the gold medal.
He ended that game with a sliding catch in left field.
"I did a lot of screaming because Cuba beat up on us pretty well in the preliminaries," he said. "The players on the plane flight home said that (homer) was the first time they actually really believed we could win."
His most important hit may have come a year earlier, when the Americans were trying to qualify for the Olympics. He got the game-winning single in the 10th inning for a 2-1 victory against Mexico in the semifinals of the Pan American Games that qualified the United States.
"That felt like there was more pressure than in the Olympics," Neill said.
But the Olympics made him a public figure, and he had a busy offseason — making motivational speeches, attending baseball camps and getting the key to his hometown of Seaford, Del.
"I was grand marshal of the Christmas parade," he said. "It's not bad."
He's played in just six major league
Now it's back to reality.
games, all with Oakland in 1998. He spent nearly all of the last three seasons bouncing around Triple-A on the West Coast.
He hit .302 with Edmonton in 1998,
.296 with Vancouver in 1999 and .310
with Tacoma in 2000.
"I'm not going to go out there and hit 30 homers or steal 30 bases," Neill said, "but I think I can get hits when needed."
Boston batting coach Rick Down said Neill had good hitting mechanics and a decent grasp of the strike zone. He doesn't think being 30 should hurt Neill's chances.
"It should be a testimony to his persistence." Down said. "If you don't believe in your heart that you're a big league player, you shouldn't be here."
Boston first baseman Brian Daubach spent nine seasons in the minors before he hit .294 in 110 games as a 27-year-old rookie.
Neill could be the next to make his mark at an advanced age. And if he isn't, he'll always have Svdney.
"It felt great. It's something I worked my whole life toward," he said. "I always thought I was going to be in the big leagues, but it didn't work out that way."
Cardinals, La Russa key up for opener

another call, and Vina slapped a grounder through the left side of the infield, through a hole the opposing shortstop might have vacated to cover second.
It was just one of the drills executed repeatedly by the Cardinals, who are preparing for a series of intrasquared games
today and tomorrow before the Grapefruit League season opens Friday.
And Vina, acquired in a trade with the Milwaukee Brewers in December 1999, is loving every minute of it.
"It's fun," Vina said. "It's a great organization; there's great camaraderie in the clubhouse and a real good team, too. We are all trying to do what is needed — what is necessary — to get ready for April second."
That is when the Cardinals start defending their NL Central title, opening a series in Denver against the Colorado Rockies.
The Cardinals seem to be just as fond of Vina as he is of them. "We had great expectations last year," La Russa said, "but
now after he's been with us for a year, we are more excited than ever. He's one of the keys to the success of our season."
Vina batted .300 in 123 games last season, noticeably higher than his .282 career average in six seasons with the New York Mets and Milwaukee Brewers. He missed a month in midseason with a pulled right hamstring and a broken rib.
"I feel great now, no problems so far." Vina said.
With shortstop Edgar Renteria, Vina has helped solidify the Cardinals infield. It's a plus that they get along well off the field as well as on.
"We room together during spring training, and we live in the same complex in St. Louis." Vina said. "We see each other
every dav."
Vina, Renteria and the other position players get a chance to test their springtime development in a series of intrasquid games, two today on the main field at Roger Dean Stadium and two more tomorrow on a nearby practice field.
Coaches will pitch, but "it gives us a chance to hit the ball, run around the bases and the fielders to try and make some plays, make some outs," La Russa said. "It's sort of halfway between batting practice and a real game."
The Cardinals open the Grapefruit League season here Friday against Baitimore with Dustin Hermanson starting against the Orioles' Sidney Ponson.

Kansas State's Wilson hoping for Royals' spot
The Associated Press
HAINES CITY, Fla. — Craig Wilson holds an obscure major league record: highest batting average .468 — for a player with at least 50 plate-appear-
The Kansas State alumnus set the record in 1998 with the Chicago White Sox, who called him in September for his first taste of
the majors. Wilson played in 13 games, singled off Andy Pettitte in his first at-bat and had eight multi-hit games.
"It's kind of wild," Wilson said of his record.
The White Sox, however, released Wilson last November, but the Kansas City Royals promptly signed him to a minor league contract and invited him to spring training, where he is competing for a job as a utility player.
Wilson, who hit .416 his senior season at Kansas State, was drafted by the San Francisco Giants in the 23rd round after his junior season, but opted to return to college and play in the Olympics in Barcelona, Spain.
The White Sox selected Wilson in the 13th round in 1992. He had a .272 batting average in 139 games over three years with Chicago as a backup infielder.
"A few teams inquired about me after Chicago released me," Wilson said. "I make my home in Kansas City, and I know most of the guys from working out
with them during the winter. '
"I wanted to go to a place that had a good shot at winning and where I'd have good teammates."
He was the White Sox's startin third baseman when the 2000 season opened, but a bad back soon landed him on the disabled list and back in the minors.
"Last year I had a little stiffness in my back going into sorring training." Wilson said.
It kept getting worse, and, Wilson was put on the disabled, list on June 3 and was optioned, July 13 to Class AAA Charlotte when he returned.
"It was painful to do anything I did in baseball," Wilson said, "I tried to play through it, but came to the realization I had to have something done."
Wilson's back is better this year after undergoing surgery for a herniated disc in November.
Bob Watkins, a Los Angeles physician, performed the surgery.
"Some say he's the best back surgeon," Wilson said. "He's performed back surgery on (hockey great Wayne) Gretzky and (Tennessee Titans quarter-back) Steve McNair. Now I can do things 10 times better than last year. I needed to get it taken care of."
Wilson played shortstop at Kansas State, but in the majors he has played more games at third base. He also has played second and first base. The Royals have even worked Wilson in left field.
"I can play all four infield positions, and I'm taking balls in the outfield," Wilson said. "I've played in a couple of games in left field in the Class AAA. I think I can be an adequate left fielder. It's something if I work on, I think I can do."

XFL ratings continue to drop
Fledgling league not coming close to expectations
NEW YORK — NBC pledged continued allegiance to the XFL yesterday despite a ratings freefall in which the football league narrowly missed a dubious milestone last weekend.
Saturday's fifth game of the XFL sea-
XX
son had a rating of 2.6 — the second-lowest rating ever recorded for a prime-time show on any of the Big Three networks of ABC, CBS or NBC, according to Nielsen Media Research.
Only April 15, 2000 — a Saturday night split between an NBA game and a 3rd Rock From the Sun rerun on NBC — was lower, with a 2.4.
"I certainly hope it has bottomed out." NBC Entertainment President Jeff Zucker said. "We
will stick with it and give it a chance to grow."
If the XFL were a comedy or drama on NBC's schedule, it would be long gone. But because NBC and the World Wrestling Federation are co-owners of the league, the rules are different, said Scott Sassa, president of NBC West Coast.
Sassa said NBC was committed to showing the XFL in primetime for the rest of its two-year contract.
He said he wasn't aware of any affiliate complaints about the low ratings, or any talk NBC could dump the XFL on another network with which it has a business relationship, like CNBC or Pax TV.
It's difficult for any network to build an audience on Saturday night, particularly NBC — which generally appeals to a younger, more urban viewership that is more likely to be out or renting videos on Saturday, he said.
league, a strategy the WWF has successfully followed with wrestling. Sassa said.
NBC hopes to build an audience by developing personalities and stories about people in the
A polling expert said she believed a young audience attracted to extreme sports and high-tech gadgetry was looking forward to the XFL but was disappointed in the product.
"They have to overcome a brand that they've created that doesn't meet the market needs," said Nadine Gelberg, executive director of sports and entertainment at Harris Interactive.
Neal Pilson, a sports television consultant and former president of CBS Sports, said NBC should consider moving their broadcast into daytime hours, where their viewership levels would be more acceptable.
Sassa said no time change was in the works.
"I think it's over," said media analyst Paul Schulman, who owns his own advertising firm. "I don't think there's any hope for this thing and I don't think they can change it unless they take the uniforms off and have them wrestling."
Carruth's accomplice sentenced
Getaway driver could face 14 years for role in slaying
CHARLOTTE, N.C. — The getaway driver in the ambush slaying of Rae Carruth's pregnant girlfriend was sentenced to up to 14 years and two months in prison yesterday after pleading guilty to murder.
Michael Kennedy, 25, testified against Carruth at the former football player's trial. Carruth was sentenced last month to up to 24 years and four months in prison for conspiracy to commit murder and other offenses.
"I just want to pray to God to forgive me for what I've done," Kennedy said, turning to the parents of victim Cherica Adams. "I want to ask Saundra Adams and Jeff Moonie to forgive me for what I've done."
Cherica Adams, 24, was wounded in her car in 1999 and died a month later in an attack prosecutors said was engineered by Carruth to avoid paying child support. Adams' son was delivered prematurely by emergency Caesarean section and has cerebral palsy.
Prosecutors used Carruth used his vehicle to box her in while a gunman opened fire from a car driven by Kennedy. The triggerman, Van Brett Watkins, pleaded guilty to murder and conspiracy and could get more than 50 years in prison. He told the jury Carruth paid him $2,000.
"To forgive someone doesn't mean they don't have to face the consequences of their actions," she said. "I believe without Michael Kennedy's testimony we might never have known what happened."
Judge Charles Lamm, who also presided during the former NFL player's trial, sentenced Kennedy to a minimum of 11 years, eight months in prison and a maximum of 14 years, two months.
Saundra Adams said justice has been done and she has forgiven Kennedy.
Kennedy's father, Robbie Bozzins, said he was satisfied with the sentence.
"He made a mistake and he wants people to forgive him," he said as he left the courthouse.
Kennedy also pleaded guilty to conspiracy to commit murder, shooting into an unoccupied vehicle and using an instrument with the intent to destroy an unborn child. The charges were consolidated to the second-degree murder charge for sentencing.
Kennedy had no deal with prosecutors and still faced a possible death sentence when he testified against Carruth during the murder trial of the ex-Carolina Panthers plaver.
Assistant District Attorney David Graham said prosecutors agreed to the deal because Kennedy offered to testify without a plea agreement.
"We found that to be meaningful," he told Lamm.

HBO's The Sopranos to kick off new season in style Sunday night
I HAVE WORK TO DO.
HELEN, ARE
YOU AFRAID
OF SOMETHING?
By Frazier Moore The Associated Press
NEW YORK — *The Sopranos* will return. You will watch.
The show kicks off Sunday at 8 p.m. as HAO airs two episodes. And if the four episodes provided for review prove anything, *The Sopranos* is as good as ever.
Trust David Chase, whose vision as the series' creator keeps The Sopranos dependably startling. Trust James Gandolfini, who as New Jersey mob boss Tony Soprarno continues to lead a family of actors as accomplished as any gathered for television.
For those who revisited the first two seasons of *The Sopranos*, which HBO enced from December through last week, it should be clear the first year was as good as the second.
That was then. The new season sets off on solid ground, pointing in nervy new directions while reassuring you that, even in Tony's turbulent world, life carries on with an unforgiving sameness.
But things seemed a bit off-kilter last season
Beyond anyone's control was the future of Tony's monstrous mother, Livia, a key figure played by the alling Nancy Marchand (who died last June).
Once again, the season's first episode comes equipped with a helpful catch-me-up. But while last year began with a sentimental montage to Sinatra's accompaniment, this year's premire chooses a starkly different kind of reentry; crisp, determined, coolly detached.
With the Feds stepping up their surveillance of Tony, the hour plays out through the distanced eyes and ears of FBI agents as they attempt planting a wiretap in the basement of Tony's home.
Last year featured a distractingly colorful business trip to Italy and the destabilizing entry of Tony's gold-digging sister, Janice (Aida Turturro), Tony's headstrong young nephew, Christopher (Michael Imperioli), became more erratic than ever, torn between doing crime and writing screenplays about it.
Further uncertainty was kindled by Salvatore "Big Pussy" Bonpensiero, a close Soprano operative turned FBI informant. Ratting out the family, he was clearly living on borrowed time until his one-way sea cruise in the season finale.
